"Yes! His entire face was covered in filthy, deceptive stuff!"

Fu Xuan snorted and pulled him forward.

"I want to eat those skewers, you pay!"

Yu Chen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled brightly, "Alright, today's expenses for Lord Fu Xuan will be paid by me, Young Master Yu Chen!"

...

They spent the whole afternoon strolling around and eating, and Fu Xuan never let go of Yu Chen's sleeve, but he didn't try to grab his hand any further.

As for the Sword Saint, he acted as if he knew nothing, happily taking her around to eat and drink.

As a result, Xiao Fuxuan's stomach was stuffed full of these snacks, and he couldn't eat dinner.

"Hiccup~"

Fu Xuan blushed, covered her mouth with her hand, and lowered her head slightly.

Yu Chen looked at her with a smile and said softly, "If you're not going to eat anymore, shall we find a place to walk around and digest our food?"

"Um…"

Fu Xuan responded softly and nodded slightly.

"Alright, nobody cares about you now anyway, so don't worry about your image so much!"

Yu Chen rubbed her head, gently grabbed her wrist, and walked towards a sparsely populated area.

"It's too crowded here, stay close!"

Fu Xuan stared blankly at the large hand gripping his wrist, a bright smile gradually appearing on his face, utterly captivating.

Yu Chen glanced back at her, his heart skipped a beat, and gently pulled her closer to him, pushing through the dense crowd as they walked forward.

...

Strolling on a long bridge that I don't know where it is, I see mostly elderly people passing by.

It's unclear whether they were celestial beings who had luckily escaped the fate of being possessed by demonic possession, or ordinary humans who had come to the immortal ship to retire.

Anyway, Yu Chen felt very comfortable walking among them, with a strange sense of harmony.

Fu Xuan didn't look at the road or care about the people passing by. She just quietly looked at the big hand holding her, feeling its warmth, and walked forward step by step in Yu Chen's footprint.

I wasn't worried at all about where he was taking me...

Suddenly, the person in front stopped, and Lord Fu Xuan took a step forward and bumped into his back with a thud.

Her delicate nose stung as it touched something hard, and tears welled up in her eyes.

“Woo…

Why did you suddenly stop?

Fu Xuan let out a soft moan, clutching her nose in pain, and took a step back, staring at him with her large, watery eyes.

"Forehead…"

Yu Chen turned around and saw her pitiful appearance. His brows furrowed slightly, and he gently touched her face with a touch of heartache. "I'm sorry... does it hurt a lot?"

Fu Xuan pursed her lips, released her hand from her nose, and quickly wiped her eyes.

"It doesn't hurt!"

Yu Chen gave a wry smile and helplessly wiped away the tear that was about to fall from her other eye.

"Okay~ It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."

Fu Xuan stared at him, feeling the hand gently rubbing his face, and his gaze gradually softened.

When she spoke again, the trace of resentment in her voice was gone, "So you're not leaving?"

Her eyes trembled slightly, as if she wanted to continue strolling around for a while longer and didn't want to go back immediately.

Looking at her pink and slightly nervous little face, Yu Chen couldn't help but gently pinch it.

A soft, smooth touch came over him, and Fu Xuan frowned and glared at him, "Don't... pinch my face!"

As she said this, she did not reach out to stop him. After a moment of silence, she suddenly whispered.

"Be gentle..."

Yu Chen froze, his eyes trembled violently, and his heart pounded wildly like a runaway horse.

He gazed at Fu Xuan, who was lightly biting her thin lips, her eyes glistening with moisture, her face flushed with shyness, showing a hint of resistance, yet also an air of resignation.

I feel like I can't breathe.

He touched his pounding heart in his chest, wondering if he really needed to see a doctor.

Chapter 40 Abundant Turmoil

A gentle, warm breeze caressed their faces, causing a few strands of hair to flutter and dance in the air, their bangs swaying and rippling with the surrounding clouds.

Besides the swirling white clouds, there were also two hearts that were infinitely close at this moment.

They were closer than ever before, separated only by a thin membrane, blurring each other.

only…

Yu Chen gazed quietly at those beautiful, glassy eyes that were staring blankly at him.

Her gentle, spring-like gaze fell upon him with tenderness, and some things were beyond question.

Yu Chen's throat moved, his hand still resting on Fu Xuan's delicate little face, their gazes entwined.

Fu Xuan suddenly turned her head and gently rubbed her hand against his, the emotions conveyed in her sparkling gaze deeply touching his heart.

He really couldn't hold back anymore...

Yu Chen licked his slightly dry lips and said, "Fu Xuan..."

"Ah."

The girl's eyes flickered slightly. She listened quietly, as if she had realized something, and a sweet, honey-like smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

"I…"

Beep~ Beep~ Beep~

A sharp, piercing sound suddenly rang out, forcibly swallowing back the words Yu Chen was about to say.

His brow twitched violently, and he gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.

He gently rubbed Fu Xuan's face and said with a wry smile, "Let's see what it is... It seems like both of our phones are ringing."

Fu Xuan closed his eyes, took a trembling deep breath, and was about to…

Her expression darkened, and she pulled out that damned terminal, her gaze freezing.

Yu Chen stared at the screen, his expression calming down to a still, stagnant calm that sent chills down one's spine.

[Requesting support! All colleagues in the vicinity are urged to proceed immediately to *coordinates*. Fengrao is in turmoil! Fengrao is in turmoil! Civil officials must retreat! This is a level one disaster!]

The crimson text was flashing wildly on the screen, highlighting the urgency of the situation.

"Fu Xuan...can you go back by yourself first?"

Yu Chen suddenly spoke, his expression gentle, but a strange chill emanated from his eyes.

"You're going? But your health..."

Fu Xuan frowned, but his thin lips were gently touched.

"I'm going."

He spoke calmly, but the firmness and certainty in his words were clearly unshakable by anything else.

Fu Xuan looked at him, gritting her teeth, and said, "Then I'm going too, just in case your health..."

Yu Chen stared into her eyes. "I'm fine. Besides, you're a diviner... The higher-ups said civil officials should retreat. You can't handle a level one disaster with your skills."

So you're going to abandon me?

Fu Xuan knew how willful her words were, but her inner feelings made it impossible for her to accept letting this guy with an unknown physical condition go and deal with those things.

Yu Chen's expression wavered for a moment, then he looked at Fu Xuan with a hint of helplessness, "That's why I asked if you could go back by yourself..."

"cannot!"

Master Taibu immediately answered.

“I…” Yu Chen’s voice trailed off. He finally sighed helplessly, then looked at her with a wry smile, “Then you have to stay behind me the whole time and not leave my side even for a moment, understand?”

"I am a diviner, and I have the ability to bring good fortune and avoid misfortune."

But Yu Chen just stared at her quietly, his eyes revealing an expression that brooked no refusal.

"I... understand, I will not leave you."

Fu Xuan lowered his head and quietly agreed.

Yu Chen chuckled softly, ruffling her hair as he said, "You mustn't lie, Your Excellency."

"Even you yourself might not be telling the whole truth..."
