The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 73: Helping/seducing Yu Yan

Shaking her hands, Yu Yan tried to dissuade Jian Shen.

"You've already saved my life, so I can't ask you to do such a thing."

"There's no way I can ignore the troubles of a beautiful woman like you! Also, I was going to go deeper inside the Endless Forest to train, so, going with you doesn't change my original plans."

"Really?"

As Jian Shen nodded his head, Yu Yan smiled and said, "I don't know how I'll ever be able to properly thank you."

"You could start by giving me a kiss."

Chuckling at this, Yu Yan stood up and patted Jian Shen's head as if he was a kid.

"You're cute."

While Jian Shen enjoyed the compliment, the two other women also couldn't help but admit.

"Yes, he is."

"Yes, he is."

...

After waiting for a while to recover the Qi inside Jian Shen's empty Dantian, the newly partied duo began proceeding deeper inside the Endless Forest by using the map Yu Yan had with her.

Walking ahead to make sure that Yu Yan wouldn't be the first one to get caught in case something bad happens, Jian Shen regularly turned around to catch a glimpse of Yu Yan.

Because that's how beautiful she looked.

Dressed in bright red robes with golden flower patters on them, her black hair was tied up and decorated with various flowers, ornaments, and jade pins.

She had a gentle face, and modest curves. Her beautiful white skin looked speckles, and her neck was adorned with a necklace.

Compared to Feng Rong, Yu Yan looked like a real queen.

Also, out of every woman he ever met, Yu Yan was the only one who struck him as a gentle and kind one. Because, while the others might have a good personality, their bodies were too voluptuous and sexy.

Yu Yan, on the other hand, she had a face which went along perfectly with her body and the mature aura around her.

"Is something wrong?"

"Huh?"

"I mean... You keep on looking back, so I was worried that you sensed some trouble, or something similar."

"Oh... Not at all, it's just that you are so beautiful, that I can't help looking at you."

Listening to what Jian Shen said, with such a straight an honest face, a blush began forming on Yu Yan's face as she looked away.

"Wow, I didn't know my husband was such a smooth talker."

"Me too. He wasn't like this in the past."

"If only he was like this in the past, I would've had my hundredth kid by now."

Trying his best to ignore the disturbing ideas Juewang had regarding kids, Jian Shen kept on displaying a bright smile on his face to cover how tense his nerves were.

Because honestly while flirting with Yu Yan was fine, the atmosphere was too scary to let his guard down for even one second.

...

It had been a week since Jian Shen and Yu Yan left together, and they had come across many beasts.

Luckily most of them were Profound Beasts, and the Ancient Beasts they came across were in the Lower Grade, due to which Jian Shen was able to successfully fight and defeat them without injuring himself.

Other than this, they did come across four Middle Grade Ancient Beasts.

And during all of these times, Jian Shen made Juewang remove the second seal on the Sword of Despair, and used a single slash to get rid of them instantly.

Because, if he was forced to slash them a second time in a row, he'd end up fainting.

At the same time, Jian Shen didn't leave any chance to flirt with Yu Yan, who would regularly tell him that she's still married, and send him away.

Of course, their trip was filled with various remarks from the jealous combo of Qingyu and Juewang.

Not that Jian Shen could blame them, or retort to anything they said.

....

By now it was the tenth day since they set out, and the duo were very close to reaching their destination.

Along the journey, Yu Yan who felt a little nervous that Jian Shen would no longer respect her choice, and force her to do something she didn't want, ended up becoming quite close with him due to how sensible and respectful he was.

There was never one incident in which Jian Shen crossed the line.

Every time she dissuaded her, he would get up and leave without even the tiniest outburst. If anything, Yu Yan started feeling a little guilty for taking advantage of someone like Jian Shen in her quest to find a cure to her illness.

All of the guilt only further increased, due to the fact that Jian Shen didn't even once complain or try to take advantage of her.

Finally, on the eleventh day, Jian Shen and Qingyu reached the location they set out for.

"According to the map, this is the spot. But I can't see any herbs here."

Looking at the cave which was to his left and the lake beside it, Jian Shen was sure that they were in the correct place.

But, like he said, there weren't any herbs close by. Because, all he could see were huge trees and flatlands covered in grass.

"Hmmm..."

Frowning a little, Yu Yan made her way close to one of the trees and kneeled down to inspect near its roots.

Using her fingers to gently brush against what looked like saplings, Yu Yan said, "This is it! The Sun Flower!"

"Where?"

Going near Yu Yan, Jian Shen also kneeled down beside her and observed the small red coloured saplings.

"These are what you are looking for?"

Pointing at them, Yu Yan said, "Yes. Considering how small they are, it'll take them about three to four months to mature."
