Chapter 377: Chapter 378: Ouyang Xuan: I Have a New Request (Please Follow)

This document recorded in detail how Ouyang Xuan secretly allowed Ouyang Family members into three third-level core Secret Realms, using his Vice Alliance Hierarch privileges to let people in without authorization, and used a one-time Supreme Treasure to break world restrictions, stealing three third-level core Secret Realms. The Ouyang Family members listed included Ouyang Xiu, Ouyang Feng, Yang Xiuzhen, Zhong Wuyan, and more than a dozen others, all named specifically.

This evidence alone was enough to doom both him and the Ouyang Family forever!

Ouyang Xuan broke out in a cold sweat, his face stiff, and said coldly, "Ziran, did you set me up?"

Ziran twirled her delicate fingers, smiling calmly, and said, "No, I didn’t set you up. You did it all yourself. I didn’t interfere in the slightest."

"Alliance Leader Ouyang, you should know how the crimes on this document will be dealt with under the Venerable Alliance laws, right?" she said with a beaming smile.

Ouyang Xuan looked at that fresh, lovely face which now seemed like a smiling tiger, hiding a thousand dangers beneath the surface.

According to the Venerable Alliance laws, for these crimes, as Vice Alliance Hierarch, he would be dismissed and expelled, and those Ouyang Family members listed in the document would be hunted down and slaughtered by the Venerable powerhouses of the Alliance!

*If the old ancestor, that is, the Venerable Alliance’s Supreme Elder, saw this, he probably wouldn’t favor him at all, but just watch coldly!*

*At that thought, Ouyang Xuan’s face instantly went pale as paper, terror flickering in his eyes, and sweat soaking his whole body!*

Ziran smiled faintly and said, "Alliance Leader Ouyang, is this the last time I call you Alliance Leader Ouyang? That’s up to you."

"You can take back the request you just made and think of something else instead. Like I said, I’ll grant you one favor, with no conditions."

In the Bronze Hall, Yun Bing slapped her thigh and laughed, "Way to go, Ziran! You’re still the same good sister I know—nobody’s pushover!"

Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched, "If you want to slap something, slap your own thigh. Why are you slapping mine? And so damn hard, too."

Yun Bing rolled her eyes, "I feel like it, what’s it to you?"

Xiao Ye raised his hand and gave her perky butt a couple of smacks, huffing, "I’m feeling pretty pleased too."

"I’ve always said it—Sister Ziran isn’t as simple as we thought. Anyone who could become Supreme Alliance Leader wouldn’t let themselves get played by others."

Yun Bing rubbed her butt, eyes full of grievance, nodding as she thought to herself, *Over the last thousand years, Ziran has grown a lot—she’s no longer the close bestie I thought I had all figured out.*

Outside, at the wine table.

Ouyang Xuan’s pupils contracted as he looked at the pretty face in front of him, the one he’d dreamed of claiming day and night, and now she seemed terrifying—so deep and cunning.

Then, as he cooled down, he finally realized why Ziran had offered to grant one wish unconditionally; *so she’d already prepared a backup plan.*

*Even without this Secret Realm theft business, maybe there were other things she could use against him too.*

Ouyang Xuan took a deep breath, cast Ziran a long look, his face stiff as he said,

"I’ll change my request. I don’t want to sleep with you."

"Help me bury what’s on that document. Don’t let it get out, and keep it dead in your heart. Deal?"

Ziran smiled and nodded, saying, "Sure, I said I’d grant you one wish, no conditions. I keep my word!"

"I’ll cover this up for you. You’ll still be Vice Alliance Hierarch, and the Ouyang Family won’t face any consequences."

Ouyang Xuan slumped in the chair, tugged at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Thanks."

Ziran’s pretty face immediately grew cold as she changed her tone, saying, "Just this once. Next time, I won’t hold back!"

*In her heart, she still had concerns—the Supreme Elder was Ouyang Xuan’s old ancestor, also the Ouyang Family’s old master. Even if this got out, Ouyang Xuan probably wouldn’t be dismissed, and the Ouyang Family members named likely wouldn’t be hunted.*

*She figured the Supreme Elder would just bury it all! So trading for another request from Ouyang Xuan seemed totally worth it.*

*What Ziran didn’t know was that the Venerable Alliance’s Supreme Elder and the Ouyang Family didn’t get along, and he honestly couldn’t care less about Ouyang Xuan.*

*Ouyang Xuan only became Vice Alliance Hierarch thanks to his own skill and a stroke of luck.*

Ziran reached out her fair, delicate hand, took the document, and burned it right in front of Ouyang Xuan. In a moment, the ashes were blown by a gentle breeze coming through the window, scattering across the wine table, onto Ouyang Xuan’s slouched body and stiff face, drifting through the private room.

Ziran stood up and said, "Alright, you got your wish. Time for me to head back."

She left with a faint, fresh fragrance, heading toward the door.

Watching her fading, graceful figure, Ouyang Xuan called after her, unwillingly, "Ziran, don’t you plan to find a Dao partner? Are you just going to stay single your whole life?"

Standing by the doorframe, Ziran answered without looking back, "Yeah, men are all scum."

With that, she didn’t pause at all and just left.

Ouyang Xuan deflated, slumping in the chair. He grabbed the jug of strong liquor on the table and gulped it down, face filled with endless loneliness and frustration.

*Hoping for a taste of her lips? Sleeping with Ziran?*

*No chance.*

*Now that he’d blown his cover, there was no going back.*

*Ziran would probably stay single for life. That kind of noble, holy woman—she never had a speck of dirt on her reputation, no black marks at all. She wouldn’t deign to mess around with any man, wouldn’t take a liking to anyone.*

Meanwhile—

Ziran, after returning to the Supreme Alliance Master Hall and giving the Bronze Hall back to Xiao Ye, went off to take care of business.

It was an hour before she returned.

She saw Xiao Ye sprawled on the sofa, his head pillowed on Yun Bing’s soft, pale, long legs. The two were joking and laughing, and Ziran froze in place, feeling a sense of loss rising within her.

*She had already decided, she wanted to win Xiao Ye for herself—to form a contract with him.*

*Inside, she felt a surge of longing to be with him. So, seeing Xiao Ye and Yun Bing so close, her heart filled with little pangs of envy and a touch of sadness.*

"Ziran, you finished up?" Yun Bing caught sight of her in the corner of her eye and called out.

Ziran nodded, "Yeah, I’m done."

She sat down next to Yun Bing, who patted her fragrant shoulder and praised, "You’ve really got it! You planned it all out—just waited for that old man to fall into your trap! Everything was in your control. You played the Vice Alliance Hierarch like a fiddle."

Xiao Ye also gazed at her in surprise.

Ziran scratched her head a little sheepishly and laughed, "Not really."

"There’s still a lot I don’t get. I wanted to ask you guys for advice."

Yun Bing’s eyes sparkled in delight, "You want my advice? Say it! Ask away, I’d love to be your teacher!"

Ziran cast Xiao Ye a furtive glance, then quickly looked away and said,

"I want a man!"

"I want to get him, but I don’t know how. Can you teach me, Xiaobing?"

Yun Bing’s big eyes went wide, shock all over her charming face, "No way, Ziran—the queen of staying single—actually wants a man?"

"You’re not messing with me, are you?"

"Xiao Ye, did you hear that? Ziran said she wants a man!"

Xiao Ye nodded, "I heard."

Ziran’s pure, lovely face flushed red, and she said shyly, "Come on, I’m a woman too. My tastes are normal, isn’t it perfectly normal to want a man?"

"So, will you teach me or not? How do you go after a guy?"

Yun Bing slapped her big white thigh in excitement, clap clap clap! She burst out laughing and said, "Of course I’ll teach you! Leave this to me—I’ll make sure you bag that guy."

Ziran’s pretty face lit up with joy. *Internally, she felt a bit guilty—sorry to make you teach me how to chase after your own man!*
