Chapter 429 Be my Taoist partner!

Leng Wuyan, who almost never showed emotions on her face, for the first time couldn't control her astonished expression, staring blankly at the Star River Condensate swirling around her.

A treasure extremely precious even to a Senior, it floated right before her.

Li Xuanfeng had said he would distribute treasures, and Leng Wuyan knew he would do as he said, but she never imagined Li Xuanfeng would give her all of the Star River Condensate!

To put it this way, this hundred-zhang Star River Condensate was worth most of her net worth, almost enough to buy her entire person.

This gift, or rather, this favor, she could not bear, nor did she dare to bear.

"Why?"

Leng Wuyan finally managed to compose her expression, her clear eyes quietly looking directly into Li Xuanfeng's.

"Because I contended for it for you in the first place."

Li Xuanfeng said calmly, a faint smile on his face.

Buzz!

Leng Wuyan felt something explode in her mind; she stared dumbfounded at Li Xuanfeng.

"Contended for me?"

"He contended for the Star River Condensate for me?"

"Such a valuable item, he didn't do it for himself, but for me?"

"So from the very beginning, he did it for me?"

"Why am I worthy of him treating me like this?"

"Could it be that he also feels, he also feels…"

An indescribable yet uncontrollable emotion surged violently within Leng Wuyan's heart.

The preciousness of the hundred-zhang Star River Condensate was something no Senior could ignore; even a Saint King, facing such a valuable treasure, could not remain unmoved, much less casually bestow it upon others.

However, when Li Xuanfeng gave her the Star River Condensate, there was no hesitation or reluctance in his eyes, as if the item was truly insignificant to him.

But Leng Wuyan clearly remembered that Li Xuanfeng was very fond of Body Refining treasures; their first transaction involved him exchanging Earth Origin Fire Slurry from her, and when she asked him for help with her injuries, the first remuneration Li Xuanfeng inquired about was also related to Body Refining treasures.

Why was the Star River Condensate, a priceless Body Refining treasure, considered insignificant in his eyes? Could everything truly be as he said, that he contended for it for her from the very beginning?

Looking at that face with a faint smile, Leng Wuyan believed him.

She couldn't describe her current feelings; she was very happy, very touched, and even felt a sense of being filled with bliss.

She had an urge to rush over and embrace Li Xuanfeng, but her reserved personality, cultivated over many years, ultimately prevented her from taking that step.

Only in her clear, cold eyes, a faint, almost imperceptible glimmer of tears flashed.

"I can't accept it."

After much effort to calm her turbulent heart, Leng Wuyan looked at Li Xuanfeng and gently shook her head.

"Does Senior Leng also want me to coax you like I coax Xiaoya?"

Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but tease.

A hint of shyness flashed in Leng Wuyan's eyes; of course, she wasn't such an unreasonable woman. Li Xuanfeng was already giving her a treasure, and for her to still need him to coax her before accepting, she couldn't do such a thing, nor would it be possible for her to do so.

She simply knew how precious this item was; even if Li Xuanfeng didn't care, she couldn't accept it with a clear conscience.

Moreover, Li Xuanfeng's words about contending for her had already made her very happy; for her, that was the most precious gift, happiness was priceless, surpassing the Star River Condensate's place in her heart.

"Thank you, I'm very happy, but I can't accept it."

Leng Wuyan still shook her head.

Being able to express her current feelings was also a kind of progress for Leng Wuyan.

"Senior Leng, why do you think I would give you such a valuable treasure?"

Li Xuanfeng looked at her.

It must be said that Leng Wuyan, already possessing a captivating beauty that could topple cities and kingdoms, appeared even more stunning and moving, accentuated by the dreamlike starlight of the Star River Condensate.

Even Li Xuanfeng, who already had several peerless beauties, couldn't find any fault; any physiologically normal man facing such a beauty would inevitably feel his heart stir.

Leng Wuyan shook her head.

She truly didn't know why Li Xuanfeng would give her such a valuable treasure, but deep down, she very much hoped for a certain answer.

"Didn't Xiaoya just say it? We are family. Why do we need a reason to give gifts to family?"

Li Xuanfeng said.

"Just… family?"

Leng Wuyan seemed lost in thought for a moment.

Seven or eight months of companionship, and having experienced life and death together, to Leng Wuyan, Li Xuanfeng and An Ya were indeed as important as family.

However, she hoped to hear another reason.

"Actually, I'm not lacking in Body Refining treasures like the Star River Condensate. Moreover, when we encountered the Black Robe Saint King, you were willing to sacrifice yourself to send Xiaoya and me away. This gift is also what you deserve."

Li Xuanfeng looked at Leng Wuyan and said seriously.

Leng Wuyan's rosy lips parted slightly, but she ultimately remained silent.

For Li Xuanfeng and An Ya, she was willing to sacrifice herself, but her conflicted personality still prevented her from accepting such a valuable gift.

Furthermore, she felt that Li Xuanfeng saying he wasn't lacking in such Body Refining treasures was completely lying to her, just trying to find an excuse to make her accept it. The more he did so, the less she could accept it with a clear conscience.

Seeing Leng Wuyan like this, Li Xuanfeng only felt helpless and a headache. Leng Wuyan was good in every way, but this one point was not to his liking: she was too principled, and if she felt she couldn't repay, she would resolutely refuse to accept favors from others.

Her behavior was actually very attractive to men, but for Li Xuanfeng, who wanted to gain returns from her, this advantage instead became an obstacle.

"Does Senior Leng feel unable to repay me?"

Seeing her so stubborn, Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but ask.

"I owe you too much."

Leng Wuyan nodded.

Regarding the healing, she already felt very indebted to Li Xuanfeng, and now Li Xuanfeng wanted to give her the Star River Condensate, so naturally, she couldn't accept it with peace of mind.

"Actually, you're not unable to repay."

Li Xuanfeng deliberately looked her up and down.

Leng Wuyan's delicate body stiffened imperceptibly.

"Senior Leng, be my Dao Companion."

Li Xuanfeng suddenly looked into her eyes and said, being his Dao Companion, using the rest of her life to slowly repay him would be completely sufficient.

Thump, thump, thump!

Hearing this, Leng Wuyan's heart pounded uncontrollably, as if it wanted to burst from her chest, and a rare blush appeared on her cold and beautiful face.

"I…"

Leng Wuyan's breathing was somewhat rapid, an unprecedented sensation sweeping through her body, as if an electric current had struck her heart.

Li Xuanfeng's words made her very excited and thrilled; in fact, when Yunmiao Senior tried to charm Li Xuanfeng, the dissatisfaction and displeasure that surged in Leng Wuyan's heart had already made her vaguely understand her own feelings.

Now, Li Xuanfeng's words made her feel as if she was dizzy with happiness; the person she secretly admired wanted to be her Dao Companion, which was an immense surprise to her.

Seeing this cold and beautiful woman, who was usually expressionless, having such a clear reaction, Li Xuanfeng immediately understood.

He took a light step and walked directly in front of Leng Wuyan, facing her closely. The Star River Condensate swirled, enclosing both of them in its center.

"Does Senior Leng not want to?"

Li Xuanfeng directly and decisively grasped Leng Wuyan's jade hand, not giving her a chance to react.

Her jade hand was soft as jade, smooth and delicate; Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but caress it twice.

"I…"

Feeling Li Xuanfeng's warm large hand and his burning gaze, Leng Wuyan's delicate body softened.

Seeing this, Li Xuanfeng's other large hand naturally wrapped around her waist.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent!"

Li Xuanfeng looked at the beauty from up close.

Leng Wuyan leaned her face against Li Xuanfeng's shoulder, nodding shyly, not daring to meet his eyes.

Li Xuanfeng immediately grinned, boldly pulling the soft, cold beauty tightly into his embrace.

Li Xuanfeng himself hadn't expected this to happen; he had originally just intended to make a joke to see Leng Wuyan's reaction first, to see if there was a chance for her to accept the Star River Condensate.

But Leng Wuyan's reaction was beyond his expectation. A cold and beautiful woman who was always expressionless showed such a clear expression upon hearing his words. How could Li Xuanfeng not know that Leng Wuyan had feelings for him in her heart? So he directly and boldly made his move.

"Wow~"

An Ya, beside them, covered her small mouth in surprise; the scene unfolding before her also caught her, a little girl, completely off guard.
