"What?!?" Xu Chen was caught off guard.
Qingyin was also completely stunned.
"I'm sorry, did I mishear? What did you just say?" Xu Chen asked.
"Huh?" Qingyin was confused by Zi Wan's words. "What are you talking about? I couldn't understand a word you said! If you're just joking with me, then I'll take my leave!"
Qingyin turned to leave the tent.
"Stop!" Zi Wan suddenly released a powerful aura, causing Qingyin's legs to go weak and nearly fall over!
"Miss Zi Wan! If you're joking, then I'll pretend nothing happened. But if you're really trying to humiliate my comrade, then I won't hold back!" Xu Chen held onto Qingyin and shouted.
"Wow, Captain Xu Chen, you're such a man! So courageous!" Zi Wan walked up to Xu Chen and suddenly slapped him across the face.
Xu Chen instinctively tried to dodge, but the difference in strength was too great, and Zi Wan's power had already suppressed his movements.
"Slap!" Xu Chen was knocked to the ground with a slap!
"Hmph! Acting like a sissy! Who do you think you're fooling, pretending to be a man!" Zi Wan laughed.
"What are you doing!" Qingyin became angry at seeing Xu Chen being slapped and immediately went to slap Zi Wan.
But Zi Wan was quicker and easily caught Qingyin's hand. After all, the difference in strength was too great.
Just as Qingyin and Xu Chen were about to retaliate, Zi Wan's hand produced a sharp and fine sword, pressing against Xu Chen's throat!
"Don't move!!" Zi Wan shouted. "What are you guys trying to do, attacking right away! Can't you listen to what I have to say?!"
"You humiliated Sister Qingyin, what else is there to say!" Xu Chen, although threatened with the sword at his throat, showed no fear.
"Listen, I don't actually want to harm you! If I wanted to kill you, I could have done it countless times already! Can you calm down and think about your situation?" Zi Wan said.
"Then what do you want to do?" Qingyin asked anxiously.
"Well..." Zi Wan sighed with a hint of resentment, sitting on her own bed. "Actually, I just wanted to play a game with you guys! You know, I've been wandering in the Demon Realm for so many years, always in danger, I'm really tired. So, I also need to relax a bit!"
"If you want to relax, then just go relax, no?" Qingyin asked mockingly.
"Swish!" Zi Wan's sword was pressed against Qingyin's neck. "Bitch! How dare you say that again!"
"Miss Zi Wan! What exactly do you want? If you want to kill us, then go ahead, we will fight with all our strength, even if we can't win! I, Xu Chen, have traversed the Chaos Sea countless times, killed millions of enemies, but have never laid a hand on a woman. Don't force me to break my own principles!" Xu Chen said angrily.
"Wow...hahaha, such a domineering little brother. Although I don't know what the Chaos Sea is, although you are a man, you are quite pretty. How about you become my little dog? Or maybe you want to cross-dress and become my little ****? Ah hahahaha!" Zi Wan looked down on Xu Chen, mocking him.
"What nonsense are you spewing!!!" Xu Chen felt that Zi Wan's words were both true and false, completely irrelevant!
Seeing Zi Wan put away her sword, Xu Chen and Qingyin stood up, leaning on each other, watching Zi Wan warily.
"Alright, I was a bit too aggressive just now, don't mind it. Actually, Sister Qingyin, I just really like you!" Zi Wan looked at Qingyin with affection and said.
"Huh?" Qingyin blushed, and in fact, she didn't dislike Zi Wan anymore. Zi Wan was also very beautiful, with a wheat-colored skin that had a wild and dynamic beauty that she didn't possess herself. But that was just appreciation. "Miss Zi Wan, what do you mean exactly? If you want to be friends with me, I'm happy to, but if you have a preference for girls in that way, sorry, I don't have that hobby!"
"Hehe, Qingyin, you misunderstood. I'm not trying to date you!"
"In that case, I definitely won't accept!" Qingyin said anxiously.
"Is that so?" Ziwan said coldly, "With my power, I can easily force you to submit, but I think that would be too boring! Here's the deal, if you and Xu Chen agree, I will help you with one thing!" Ziwan said.
"Not one thing, not even a thousand things!" Qingyin exclaimed angrily.
"Hold on," Xu Chen interjected, "Agree to do one thing for us? Anything?"
"As long as it's not against my principles, and something I can do, I'm open to it!" Ziwan said.
"Xu Chen, what are you doing?" Qingyin naturally knew what Xu Chen was going to ask Ziwan to do.
"Of course not!" Xu Chen sincerely said to Ziwan, "Miss Ziwan, actually, we do have something we want to ask for your help with. It concerns one of my most important sisters, and no matter what, I would like to earnestly request your help. If you need any conditions, please feel free to ask for something I can do, but we cannot accept anything like training Qingyin, can we change the terms?"
Ziwan looked at both of them with a cunning smile and said, "Alright then, I know that my request was a bit too much all at once, so if you want to change the terms, that's fine too. But first, tell me what your conditions are."
So Xu Chen told Ziwan about the space formation.
"Hehe, a spatial formation, I didn't expect Qingyin to have this kind of ability. I'm becoming more and more interested in you! I have heard of this formation before, it will almost deplete my energy, and it will take at least three years to recover. This is a huge risk and cost for me! But, because of your deep sisterly bond, I, Ziwan, am not incapable of helping you. However, since I have to give so much, will you also do something corresponding for me?"
"So as long as it's not insulting to Qingyin, please tell me!" Xu Chen said.
"Alright then, can you guys accompany me in playing games for a while? Not only can I help you activate the large formation, but I can also find the other three beauties with you. And before completing this task, I will naturally have to act with you, and during this period, whenever I want, either one of you or Qingyin alone will have to play games with me!" Ziwan said.
"What kind of game?" Xu Chen asked warily.
"Oh, don't worry! It won't be what you guys are thinking. It really is just casual games! However, when playing games, you will have to follow my rules. But I promise it's just a game, nothing serious, how about it?" Ziwan explained.
"This..."
"I promise it won't harm you!" Ziwan said.
"Alright then!" Qingyin suddenly said in a low voice.
"Eh??? Qingyin, how could you agree to her!" Xu Chen exclaimed anxiously.
"No matter what, if we refuse her here, it will probably be difficult to get her help, and rescuing Izayoi will just be empty talk! After all, she is also a girl like me, playing games with her shouldn't be a big deal! But Ziwan, I'm only agreeing to you, absolutely not letting those minotaurs join your so-called game!" Qingyin said coldly.
"Don't worry about that! I don't want it either!" Ziwan looked at Xu Chen, "What about you? Whether you agree or not doesn't matter!"
"Alright! I agree! It's just playing games, right? I'll accompany you! If playing games can persuade Miss Ziwan to help us activate the large formation, then I won't be picky anymore! Just, I hope you keep your promise! Don't harm Qingyin!" Xu Chen said.
"You can trust me! I swear! I won't do anything that makes her uncomfortable! But she shouldn't say one thing and mean another!" Ziwan said.
"Got it! Then it's settled! We'll take our leave now!" Xu Chen pulled Qingyin to leave.
"Hold on! Did you think you could go back on your promise so easily?" Ziwan looked at them with a mysterious expression, "The game will start now!"
