System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's infuriating request, before Hongchen Zhenren and Lin Yuqiong could react, the accompanying Qilin City disciples and followers erupted in chaos, their faces flushed red as they shouted and cursed.

"Chen Xuan, if you dare to even consider this idea, the calamity of your entire clan will soon befall you!"

"Despicable and shameless, he's a complete scoundrel!"

……

Faced with the tidal wave of shouts and curses, Chen Xuan remained calm and composed, seemingly unaffected. He knew perfectly well that if he was going to put on an act, he had to do it all; this was a crucial part, and he couldn't afford to be distracted in the slightest.

Although Zhan Xin knew in her heart that this was just Chen Xuan's scheme, these words still sounded strangely grating to her ears. For a moment, she even had the thought of stabbing Chen Xuan in the back with a sword and killing him instantly. She simply couldn't understand how Chen Xuan could say such shameless, gigolo ideas so confidently.

"No, I don't want to get married! Even if I die, I will never become your Daoist partner! I absolutely refuse! Waaah, brother, come save me..." Lin Yuyao completely panicked, the fear in her heart overwhelming her like a surging tide. In her eyes, the outside world was simply too terrifying, and Chen Xuan was undoubtedly the most terrifying and disgusting opponent she had ever encountered in her life.

"Absolutely impossible!" Lin Yuqiong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. If his little sister hadn't been powerless to resist and fallen into Chen Xuan's hands, he would have rushed up to fight Chen Xuan to the death.

"You won't agree?" Chen Xuan's lips curled up slightly, a playful smile on his face as he looked at Lin Yuqiong. He then glanced at the stunningly beautiful young princess Lin Yuyao in his arms, feigning regret as he sighed and shook his head. "What a pity. A forced marriage may not be sweet, but at least it can quench your thirst, can't it?"

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, an extremely irritating smile appeared on his face. He deliberately brought his nose close to the girl's coiled hair in his arms, took a deep sniff, and then slowly narrowed his eyes, posing as if he were intoxicated and enjoying himself immensely.

This scene caught everyone's eye. Apart from the servant Gu Yingying, even the Heart-Slaying Fairy blushed instantly, feeling both angry and annoyed.

"Brother, no, save me, stay away from me, sob sob!" Lin Yuyao was almost broken down by such rude treatment. Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam. She could only look at her brother with longing eyes, hoping that he would come to rescue her.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to instantly drop to freezing point. All the cultivators in Qilin City had their faces flushed red and their eyes were bloodshot. They stared at Chen Xuan like vicious wolves, wishing they could devour him alive.

"Haha, don't get so excited, it was just a joke." Chen Xuan suddenly burst into laughter. "Although I, Chen Xuan, have a fondness for beautiful women, I never force myself on anyone. Since the young princess doesn't agree, I naturally won't force myself on her. How about this, I'll make an alternative request?"

"Speak!" Lin Yuqiong was on the verge of exploding. Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared intently at Chen Xuan, her teeth grinding together as she squeezed out a single word.

After several psychological battles with Chen Xuan, Lin Yuqiong's initial innate air of superiority had completely vanished. Chen Xuan now firmly held the initiative in this game.

“Straightforward, I like dealing with straightforward people.” Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, “First, I can release her, but you must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, according to the contents of the oath I have prepared, otherwise…”

"Go on!" Lin Yuqiong shouted almost angrily, her emotions on the verge of spiraling out of control.

"First, all cultivators from Qilin City must withdraw from this forge of gods and demons; second, swear an oath not to reveal this matter in any way to any living being outside of this place."
