The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2240: Chapter 2240: Something

Jing Yan’s heart was already tumultuous.

He didn’t know whether to withdraw his arm at this moment or let Wuxia Heavenly Monarch continue to hold it. The jade-like hand of Wuxia Immortal Venerable was really soft and smooth.

Jing Yan could clearly smell the enchanting fragrance emanating from Wuxia.

“Jing Yan, there’s something I want you to see,” Wuxia Immortal Venerable said softly.

She pulled Jing Yan along.

Into her boudoir.

This wasn’t the first time Jing Yan had been in Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s boudoir. When he first arrived in Wuxia City, he had entered it. But this time, Jing Yan felt a bit different.

Once inside the room, Wuxia let go of Jing Yan’s hand. With a flick of her finger, the purple long dress on her body disappeared.

A perfect body, skin as white as snow, came into Jing Yan’s view. Jing Yan realized that what Wuxia Immortal Venerable wanted to show him was probably this.

Jing Yan’s cheeks blushed slightly.

But in his mind, he also thought of Bai Xue and Gao Feng.

To be honest, as Jing Yan progressed in his cultivation, he encountered countless beauties. Yet, those who truly moved him were indeed rare. For him, having Bai Xue and Gao Feng was already enough.

For a moment, Jing Yan didn’t know how to treat Wuxia Immortal Venerable.

“Jing Yan, am I beautiful?” Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s beautiful eyes stared into Jing Yan’s.

Beautiful, undeniably so!

“Wuxia, I already have a Daoist couple,” Jing Yan gently shook his head.

“Have a Daoist couple? It doesn’t matter, I don’t mind.” Wuxia Immortal Venerable seemed to have prepared herself for this. When Jing Yan mentioned having a Daoist couple, her expression barely changed.

“Jing Yan, you are the first man to see my body,” Wuxia continued.

In fact, when Wuxia first saw Jing Yan in Divine Martial City within the Ying Family Territory, she felt a peculiar sensation. It was indescribable, yet truly existed.

In the words of mortals, it might be love at first sight.

That’s precisely why Wuxia invited Jing Yan to Wuxia City as a guest and allowed him into her boudoir once he arrived. Jing Yan was the only man who had entered this boudoir.

Today, Wuxia wanted to give herself to Jing Yan. It wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision. Ever since she returned from the Immortal Venerable Tower, Wuxia had seriously and carefully considered this matter for thousands of years. Now, her actions were the result of her deliberate contemplation.

“Wuxia, I’ll step out for now and wait for you outside. I might… soon be heading to Nightmare City.” Jing Yan’s gaze moved to the door, and as his words fell, he had already stepped out of Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s boudoir.

Outside, Jing Yan waited a moment before Wuxia Immortal Venerable emerged. In her eyes, there was a faint trace of tears.

“Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, are you about to set off for Nightmare City?” Wuxia Immortal Venerable asked.

“Yes, probably heading out soon,” Jing Yan nodded.

“I’ve just stepped into the Immortal Venerable Realm and want to invite some important figures from Faro Heaven for a banquet. Could you wait until after the feast to depart?” Wuxia said slowly.

“That’s possible,” Jing Yan nodded without hesitation.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jing Yan.” Wuxia seemed a bit downcast.

“Wuxia Immortal Venerable, then… I’ll take my leave first,” Jing Yan said somewhat flustered as he left in a hurry.

In the following days, many prestigious and powerful cultivators in Faro Heaven received invitations from Wuxia Immortal Venerable. Of course, not all of the Immortal Venerable level cultivators received an invitation. In fact, most Immortal Venerable cultivators weren’t on Wuxia’s guest list.

Wuxia Immortal Venerable invited those she knew before or had some connections with, and those Immortal Rhythm cultivators with whom she had good relations might also receive her invitation. As for those she had never interacted with or who might harbor some hostility or conflicts, they were not on Wuxia’s invitation list.

Those cultivators who received Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s invite were very joyful. Many even communicated with others to ask whether they had received the invitation to Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s banquet.

Those who received the invitation mostly set off quickly for Wuxia City. A banquet by a newly promoted Immortal Venerable, and the first person in Faro Heaven — who could refuse such an occasion? Let alone those with invitations, even those without were also heading to Wuxia City in hopes of attending the feast.

For those Immortal Venerables without invitations, upon reaching Wuxia City, Wuxia Immortal Venerable would indeed have difficulty refusing their attendance. If she were to shut out such formidable Immortal Venerables, it would be quite embarrassing.

Among the cultivators attending Wuxia Immortal Venerable’s banquet, many wished to meet Jing Yan. Recently, Jing Yan’s name had been rising like the sun, with a strong presence. In the upper echelons of Faro Heaven, almost everyone had heard his name.

Therefore, many wanted to take this opportunity to meet the emerging Jing Yan and see what kind of person he actually was.

This person, how did he defeat the Black River Heavenly Monarch, and how did he aid Wuxia in ascending to the ranks of Immortal Venerable?

The Wuxia Immortal Venerable Mansion became bustling. The staff within were increasingly busy. These cultivators coming to Wuxia City and entering the Wuxia Immortal Venerable Mansion were almost entirely prominent figures, whose mere foot taps could shake Faro Heaven. They needed to be treated with care.

Jing Yan, however, wasn’t too concerned with these matters. He knew many notable figures had recently arrived at the Wuxia Immortal Venerable Mansion, but he hadn’t intentionally made an appearance. Most of the time, he stayed alone in his room. Since his last visit to see Wuxia Immortal Venerable, he hadn’t seen her again. He didn’t know how to face Wuxia Immortal Venerable, always feeling that a meeting would be awkward.

On this day, the banquet officially began. The Chief Manager approached to invite Jing Yan to the banquet.

Jing Yan could only brace himself and attend. By the time he arrived in the banquet hall, many guests were already seated there. Wuxia Immortal Venerable was also present, conversing with those various distinguished guests.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Fellow Daoist Jing Yan you’ve all been mentioning so often,” Wuxia Immortal Venerable said with a slight smile upon seeing Jing Yan.

Jing Yan observed Wuxia Immortal Venerable, who seemed unchanged from before, as if she had moved past what had happened days earlier, and he felt a sense of relief.

“Greetings, Immortal Venerables and seniors!” Jing Yan clasped his hands in salute to everyone present.

He could feel that many of the gazes upon him were intense, with a number of them burning with eagerness.

“Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, don’t be so formal, please take your seat.”

“Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is truly young! Hmm, even younger than I imagined!”

“…” Most people spoke to Jing Yan with respect.
