Chapter 5842: Appearing as a Man, a Curse!

Trying to force his way out was absolutely impossible; he could only continue to play along and win the trust of Immortal King Chiling.

For the following six months, whenever Xiao Fan had free time, he would leave to carry out missions.

Xiao Fan was extremely efficient and ruthless, hurrying back to Lingxian You Palace as soon as he finished.

Even Immortal King Chiling was surprised and tried to get Xiao Fan to stay many times.

"Xiao Fan… you have been working too hard lately. You need to rest more, do you understand?" Immortal King Chiling said with a smile. "If you wear yourself out, this Immortal King will feel heartache."

Xiao Fan: "…"

"The Immortal King's trust! How could this Disciple fail to live up to it? This Disciple must give his all! Rest assured, Immortal King! This Disciple will be fine!" Xiao Fan said solemnly.

"You! Fine then…" Immortal King Chiling let out a soft sigh.

Little did he know, this was because Xiao Fan was afraid.

He was worried that if he stayed in Lingxian You Palace, Immortal King Chiling would find an opportunity to… claim him for himself.

That was why he kept going out on missions. If he wasn't in Lingxian You Palace, how would Immortal King Chiling have a chance?!

At first, it was fine, and Immortal King Chiling didn't think much of it, but as time passed, he noticed something was wrong.

He realized that Xiao Fan was deliberately avoiding him…

"Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit…" Immortal King Chiling was annoyed and directly summoned Xiao Fan.

"Immortal King! What is the matter?!" Xiao Fan asked tentatively.

"Xiao Fan, for the past three years, you have been constantly going out on missions. What is the matter? Is Lingxian You Palace so bad that you don't want to stay for even a moment?!" Immortal King Chiling said with an expressionless face.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan's heart skipped a beat.

"No, no! Immortal King! This Disciple just wants to carry out missions! To help share your burdens… Lingxian You Palace is great, and this Disciple likes it very much…"

"Hehehe… As long as you like it. Then don't go out for a while." Immortal King Chiling said with a faint smile.

"Ah? Don't go out… Then…"

"I have been quite bored lately… You stay behind and keep me company to discuss poetry and Dao…" Immortal King Chiling said with a faint smile.

"This… alright." Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Xiao Fan clearly realized that his trouble had arrived.

Good grief.

Keeping Immortal King Chiling company to discuss poetry and Dao—if he wasn't careful, he would be in trouble…

Immortal King Chiling smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand. Everyone in the great hall retreated in unison.

"Xiao Fan, come here, sit closer."

"O-okay." Xiao Fan scratched his head, preparing himself to fight at any moment.

Good grief.

He was a dignified man, how could he let Immortal King Chiling have his way!

Even if Immortal King Chiling was strong, if he tried to force himself on him, he would resist to the death!!

"Hehehe… Xiao Fan, what do you think of me?!"

Xiao Fan: "…"

"This… this Disciple dare not answer!" Xiao Fan shook his head repeatedly.

"Dare not? Why not? What are you afraid of?!" Immortal King Chiling said with a faint smile.

"N-nothing, it's just… the Immortal King is high and mighty, and this Disciple is just in the Illusion Immortal Realm, so how dare I say anything more?!" Xiao Fan scratched his head with an awkward smile.

"Hehehe… Really?!"

"Really! Really!" Xiao Fan nodded repeatedly.

"Fine then." Immortal King Chiling picked up a wine cup and took a sip.

"Xiao Fan, you are not bad… I appreciate you. Actually, once upon a time… I had a confidant."

"A confidant? What kind of confidant?!" Xiao Fan asked curiously.

"Hehehe… Take a sip, don't let me drink alone."

Xiao Fan: "…Yes."

Hearing Immortal King Chiling's words, Xiao Fan really wanted to curse.

You are an Immortal King, and you're talking about drinking alone?!

How is that possible!

How could an Immortal King get drunk so easily!

What a joke!!

But since Immortal King Chiling had spoken, how could Xiao Fan dare not listen?!

He immediately took a sip!

Must say.

The wine was good!

Xiao Fan was very satisfied after drinking it.

"Hehehe… Xiao Fan, do you know how difficult my journey has been?" Immortal King Chiling smiled.

"I have heard a little." Xiao Fan nodded.

"Hehehe… Then let me tell you properly…" Immortal King Chiling smiled.

He didn't use force, but instead started telling Xiao Fan about his journey of growth.

Along this path of countless slaughters, Immortal King Chiling had gone through countless bloody battles, big and small, before finally growing up.

But on this path, what pained Immortal King Chiling the most was that during one of the battles… he killed the enemy but was cursed by them.

That curse, even with Immortal King Chiling's current supreme immortal power, could not be reversed…

"What curse?!" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"I… appear to be a man, but in reality, sigh… I am a woman."

Xiao Fan: "…"

Here it comes, here it comes… Xiao Fan remained expressionless, but put on a look of surprise: "No way?!"

"Hehehe… It is true."
