Actually, at the moment Xu Fan clutched Avril's neck, he felt a tinge of regret.

After all, if he really ended up offending this girl, the Blood Poison Curse would truly become unbreakable.

Now, seeing the tears welling in Avril's eyes, along with those words that made everyone pause, Xu Fan felt even more guilty.

Xu Fan took a deep breath and sighed somewhat helplessly, "Since you can't undo it, or aren't willing to undo the Blood Poison Curse for me, why did you even tell me you could back then?"

"How about this, you take Gongsun Qin back home, and I'll stay here to distract the Dark Forces for you."

It's the only method Xu Fan could think of to ensure Gongsun Qin's safety.

"I'm not going back until I find that Magic Wand!" Avril wiped away her tears and said to Xu Fan with unwavering determination.

Xu Fan was both amused and frustrated by Avril's attitude, "You're not going back, hoping those bats will kill you?"

"You couldn't even take on a Baron, and the Dark Forces might deploy someone of Marquis level next; how do you plan to fight them?"

This Avril had Xu Fan at a loss for words; the news of Baron Arthur's death had probably reached the headquarters of the Western Dark Powers by now, and the enemy could send people to hunt them down at any moment.

Yet Avril was still acting like a spoiled child.

"That Magic Wand means a lot to me, you just don't understand."

"Besides, I've secretly contacted Uncle Arthur, and he'll be here in a few days!"

Facing the chuckling Xu Fan, Avril remained entirely unfazed.

"Also, I've changed my mind now; I'll undo the Blood Poison Curse for you right away!"

This remark stopped Xu Fan, who was just about to cast a sarcastic remark, and made him shut up obediently.

A person who has lived in a castle for so long making a slightly willful decision at such a moment is only natural.

As soon as the Blood Poison Curse is lifted, Xu Fan would have no more worries; what Avril chooses to do and how she conducts herself wouldn't concern him in the slightest.

"Wouldn't that be great? Hurry and undo it for me!" Xu Fan urged impatiently.

For this woman who claimed she would rather not see him even if it cost her ten years of life, Xu Fan also wished to stay as far away as possible.

As for that wedding of the Huang Family, Xu Fan had no intention of dragging Avril along; just a hint that all the world's major cultivation families would gather there for the Huang Family's wedding might be enough for Avril to suspect that the Magic Wand would be mentioned.

With Avril being such a sheltered little princess, she would surely attend that Huang Family wedding.

At this moment, Avril threw down the Jiuyang Warm Jade in her hand, pulled down the seat adjuster, and reclined the seat.

"Get on and... take your clothes off."

No matter how Xu Fan listened to Avril's voice, he detected a trace of shyness in it, and he finally realized why this woman was unwilling to lift the Blood Poison Curse for him all this time. It was because it required undressing!

Naturally, Xu Fan didn't ask any insensitive questions about why the clothes had to be removed, he simply took off his top, revealing a musculature that wasn't overly bulky.

After entering the Entering Dao Realm, nature's spiritual energy had refined Xu Fan's body. Though the muscles weren't pronounced and lacked the visual impact of gym-trained bodies, they looked ordinary.

But just in terms of physical strength, the power contained within Xu Fan's seemingly ordinary body far exceeded those bulky figures by countless times.

Right now, seeing Xu Fan deftly undressing, Avril's face flushed, and she lowered her head in silence.

Looking at the bashful Avril, Xu Fan couldn't help but feel an inexplicable urge to tease this girl.

"Should I take off my pants too?"

As Xu Fan spoke, he placed his hands on his waist, pretending to pull down his pants, causing Avril to let out a gasp, waving her hands frantically with eyes tightly shut, "No need to take off your pants!"

After keeping her eyes closed for quite some time, not hearing any undressing sounds, Avril gathered the courage to look at Xu Fan.

Her eyes met Xu Fan's with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

By now, it was clear to Avril that Xu Fan had teased her once again.

Though she wanted to confront Xu Fan, when she saw his bare upper body, with a smile at his lips, and felt the overpowering masculine vibe emanating from him, Avril's face turned a deeper shade of red.

"You, you get on quickly."

Avril urged Xu Fan with her blushing face.

Xu Fan didn't continue teasing Avril, instead, he obediently turned his back to her and sat back down.

He didn't want this woman to declare again that she'd rather not meet him for another twenty years.

After all, if she became furious and refused to lift the Blood Poison Curse, it would be a big loss.

At this moment, Avril took a deep breath, squeezing her eyes shut, trembling slightly, as she reached out her little hand to Xu Fan's back.

"Ah!"

Avril's trembling hands touched Xu Fan's back like a startled little rabbit, she quickly withdrew and let out a squeal.

Xu Fan watched, feeling awkward...

No wonder when he playfully patted this girl on the butt twice, she wanted to fight him to the death; turns out, she's quite conservative.

If this keeps up, who knows when the Blood Poison Curse will finally be addressed.

However, Xu Fan didn't rush her, sitting quietly in his chair, waiting for Avril to regain her composure.

After a moment, Avril seemed to realize she had overreacted, and her delicate face turned even redder.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed outside the car, causing Xu Fan's heart to tighten as he extended his Divine Sense and gazed outside.

In the moonlight, the silhouette was unmistakably a bat of Earl strength!

What unsettled Xu Fan was that the Earl-level bat didn't pause; it flew away like an arrow as if it hadn't seen Xu Fan in the vehicle.

We've been discovered!

And this time, it's likely to be a carefully orchestrated siege!

Xu Fan made a swift decision, controlling the Mechanical Warrior to accelerate the car to its maximum speed.

Behind Xu Fan, Avril, enveloped in a holy aura, finally set aside her shyness, pressing her small hand against Xu Fan's back, chanting softly.

The sacred light overflowed from the car, scattering around.

Like fireflies in the night, it was clearly visible.
