Chen Xuan’s words left Ji Wushuang momentarily stunned.
As for Fairy Bai, she felt a deep sense of regret in her heart. She believed that had she been granted the opportunity to practice dual cultivation with Chen Xuan, he would not be the type of evil practitioner to treat her merely as a cauldron, draining her of her magic and discarding her. If that had been the case, she could have used the union to achieve an unprecedented breakthrough in her own cultivation. However, hearing Chen Xuan speak this way, it was clear he was not a man who would engage in such intimacy merely for the sake of a breakthrough. Even though she felt immense disappointment, she dared not say another word.
When Ji Wushuang regained her composure, her feelings were complex. On one hand, she felt comforted that Chen Xuan was not someone who acted recklessly. On the other, the fact that his restraint was due to Shen Binglan and not her left her with a bitter, unsettled feeling. Still, she quickly smoothed over her emotions; after all, she and Chen Xuan were only close friends, not lovers, and she had no right to dictate his words or actions.
