King of Assassins-Chapter 890 - 635: Pirate Ship

"Still awake?"

Yuan Youyuan returned to her place, still too excited to calm down. She couldn't help but want to chat with Gao Xuan.

She asked with her mouth, yet she was already pushing the door open into the room.

Gao Xuan was wearing loose pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed, breathing steadily.

The room lights were off. In the dim light, Gao Xuan's rugged features appeared softer, even with a touch of elegance.

Yuan Youyuan always thought Gao Xuan wasn't handsome, not her type.

She preferred the Divine Emperor style, someone so extraordinarily handsome you'd feel joy at just a glance.

Gao Xuan, this rough guy, was far from that.

But as they spent more time together, Yuan Youyuan found Gao Xuan more pleasing to the eye.

Actually, people's adaptability is remarkably strong. Even if someone is very unattractive, if you look at them every day, you quickly get used to their appearance.

Why are some people so self-confident? It's because they've gotten used to the average person in the mirror, always feeling they're quite good.

Yuan Youyuan got accustomed to Gao Xuan's looks and discovered many advantages in him.

The biggest advantage was that, though this man was flirtatious, he wasn't greasy. He always did things with such calm confidence. She never saw Gao Xuan panic or worry.

A man like this truly gives a strong sense of security. Plus, Gao Xuan is interesting, understands romance, jokes around, and has his own aesthetic taste.

Although Gao Xuan came from the lower class, in terms of cultivation, insight, and demeanor, he surpassed 99.99% of the noble youth.

The only problem was that Gao Xuan was too profound.

Yuan Youyuan has been with Gao Xuan for a few months, basically inseparable. However, she still didn't quite understand this man, didn't know what he really wanted.

A push for upward mobility is a normal psychological state for anyone. So this cannot be viewed as Gao Xuan's actual thoughts.

Because of this, Yuan Youyuan felt there was always a gap between her and Gao Xuan.

However, after their consecutive battles against the Evil Gods, Yuan Youyuan was genuinely excited and felt a bit more passionately attracted to Gao Xuan.

Facing the Evil Gods directly made Yuan Youyuan realize how formidable they were.

That Black Sheep was absurdly powerful. Without Gao Xuan, she would have had no chance of killing it. Escaping by luck would have been the best outcome.

But teaming up with Gao Xuan, they utterly defeated the Black Sheep. This sense of victory was truly exhilarating.

At the moment of killing the Black Sheep, Yuan Youyuan admired Gao Xuan even more.

When Gao Xuan helped her kill the White Rat, Yuan Youyuan's feelings for Gao Xuan became uncontrollable.

Yuan Youyuan knew it was inappropriate to come over at such a late hour, but she couldn't help it.

Seeing Gao Xuan sitting there motionless and silent, Yuan Youyuan slowly approached, tentatively reaching out to gently stroke Gao Xuan's face, but he didn't react.

She thought for a moment, wrapped her arms around Gao Xuan's neck, and leaned in to lightly kiss his lips.

Yuan Youyuan initially felt a bit shy, but upon kissing Gao Xuan without any reaction, she was slightly displeased.

She huffed, "I took the initiative to kiss you, are you a block of wood? Shouldn't you have some reaction...?"

Gao Xuan opened his eyes, quietly looking at Yuan Youyuan. "I tell you, you may get my body, but you won't get my Divine Crystal."

Yuan Youyuan got angrier, "Bastard, am I here for the Divine Crystal!? I'll bite you!"

She got feisty, plunged in to fiercely bite Gao Xuan's lip.

Gao Xuan, knocked down by Yuan Youyuan, didn't struggle and instead wrapped his arm around Yuan Youyuan's slender waist, sliding his long fingers inside her loose T-shirt.

Yuan Youyuan's fierce demeanor softened instantly, a bit panicked, "What are you doing...?"

Gao Xuan, experienced, took advantage of Yuan Youyuan's slightly parted lips to swiftly seize the opportunity.

Yuan Youyuan, who was passively defensive, soon lost ground completely, overwhelmed and unable to retreat.

When Yuan Youyuan realized, she unwillingly launched another challenge.

Facing an expert in such matters, despite Yuan Youyuan's courage to keep fighting, she was ultimately defeated time and again, ending in a surrender.

Too exhausted, Yuan Youyuan, though used to sleeping alone, couldn't help but cuddle up to Gao Xuan and fell asleep.

When Yuan Youyuan woke up, daylight had broken.

Looking at the man beside her, Yuan Youyuan felt both shy and sweet. Indeed, it felt quite good to sleep holding a man.

Despite Gao Xuan being a bit dark, he had particularly good skin, beautiful muscle lines, and great stamina.

Sleeping with such a man isn't a loss...

Yuan Youyuan told herself this, yet still felt a little annoyed. This guy had to have a wealth of experience and who knows how many women he had slept with.

In the Interstellar Era, relationships between men and women are casual. Normally, it's not an issue.

But Yuan Youyuan felt it was quite unfair now. The more she thought, the angrier she got; she couldn't help but bite Gao Xuan's shoulder hard again.

Gao Xuan's shoulder tensed naturally, almost making Yuan Youyuan's teeth snap.

Gao Xuan woke up too, looking at Yuan Youyuan's puzzled expression, feeling even more upset: "My teeth almost broke, can't even bite you, are you even a man!"

"I can prove it right now." Gao Xuan rolled over, pinning Yuan Youyuan down.

Yuan Youyuan, soft all over, her bright eyes filled with warm spring waters, yet she was still defiant verbally, "Hmph, who's afraid of whom..."

"Today I'll conquer you, making both your heart and mouth surrender..."

Passion between men and women is inherently ingrained in human genes.

The harmony of Yin and Yang further nourished Yuan Youyuan's Divine Soul. After all, the fusion of such levels of Divine Soul aura benefits Yuan Youyuan greatly.

Gao Xuan's Divine Soul Power was too strong and too clear. With Yuan Youyuan's Divine Soul Power, she brought no aid to his.

Only the pleasure from Yin-Yang attraction made Gao Xuan relaxed and comfortable.

Saint Hall on the Red Light Star rarely had many people. Yuan Youyuan and Gao Xuan were in a special stationed team, technically not under Yuan Tiejiang's command.

Yuan Tiejiang, heavily hit yesterday, even felt embarrassed to face Gao Xuan and the others.

As for Yuan Ping, she couldn't easily come over to find Yuan Youyuan.

Yuan Youyuan agreeing to share a room with Gao Xuan already showed her attitude itself.

Moreover, the Interstellar Era encourages indulgence in desires. What men and women do together is entirely natural. It's more suspicious if they don't do anything.

For Noble Families, only marriage is significant. Marriage isn't merely about sharing a bed, but it's about deeply binding the social relations of both parties. It's not just a matter between two people; it's a matter between families.

As long as Yuan Youyuan doesn't marry Gao Xuan, nothing else matters.

Besides, Yuan Ping also witnessed Gao Xuan's skills yesterday.

Precisely locking onto the Evil God; this move is immensely strong. With this skill alone, Gao Xuan will be highly valued wherever he goes.

Evil Gods are troublesome because they are full of tricks, hiding among believers, making it difficult to find their true form.

Most Evil Gods are actually quite weak. Once the Holy Hall locates them, it's not hard to kill them.

Only those powerful Evil Gods like the ones in the Deep Sea, which are hard to control, become true threats.

Yuan Ping thinks that with Gao Xuan's skills, he's good enough to be a son-in-law of the Yuan Family.

Because of this attitude, Yuan Ping doesn't interfere in matters between Yuan Youyuan and Gao Xuan.

Yuan Youyuan and Gao Xuan both have Foundation Establishment Cultivation; they can live a long time just by Breathing Source Power. Yuan Youyuan also has a Dimension Bracelet, which contains various foods.

The two stayed together in the room without going out, engaging in both normal cultivation and deep exchanges. From spirit to body.

Mainly, Yuan Youyuan, having her first romance and enjoying this intimate relationship for the first time, was quite attached to Gao Xuan.

The so-called "honey mingling oil," "stuck together like glue," refers to this situation.

However, regarding the Divine Crystal issue, they still needed to be clear.

Gao Xuan wasn't too concerned; there were numerous Evil Gods on the Red Light Star, enough for them to share.

Yuan Youyuan, however, didn't want to take too much advantage.

In the end, they decided that Gao Xuan would take the Black Sheep's Divine Crystal, and Yuan Youyuan would take the White Mouse's Divine Crystal.

With this distribution, Yuan Youyuan didn't lose out.

After sweetly staying in the room for a few days, Yuan Youyuan eventually remembered to attend to proper matters, and they set out again.

Giant Kun City is enormous, especially the Underworld, which is home to a dozen Evil Gods.

These Evil Gods aren't powerful, but each one is extremely cunning.

Gao Xuan's ability to precisely locate Evil Gods made hunting them extremely easy.

Evil Gods like the Ant Queen, Iron Monkey, and Ghost Insect were slain one by one by Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan.

The terrifying Three-headed Insect was also lured out by Gao Xuan with a Divine Crystal.

This Three-headed Giant Insect was much stronger than the Black Sheep. Its body was extremely hard, like super strong metal.

The Bright Moon Sword and Thunder and Lightning Blade couldn't penetrate its shell. Even the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade posed little threat to the Three-headed Giant Insect.

Their body was too hard and too large. Even barely breaking the outer shell couldn't cause substantial damage to the Three-headed Giant Insect.

The body of the Three-headed Giant Insect continuously secreted fluid to quickly heal wounds.

Moreover, the Three-headed Giant Insect could spew fire and ice gas. The combination of high-temperature flames and low-temperature ice gas was terrifying.

Luckily, the creature was gigantic and moved slowly.

Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan expended great effort to use the Profound Yin Soul Slaying Whip to directly strike the Divine Soul of the Three-headed Insect, killing it.

From this, an area of tens of square kilometers collapsed into a pit several thousand meters deep.

Giant Kun City was missing a corner. Fortunately, the residents here were all fanatical believers of the Three-headed Insect.

The Three-headed Insect was very brutal and bloodthirsty, controlling followers by direct mind control. Its believers were like madmen with no sense of reason.

After the battle solved the Three-headed Insect's followers, Gao Xuan felt it was a great deed.

Slaying Evil Gods and their followers can't make the world better, but it can prevent the world from becoming worse.

However, the Three-headed Insect left behind three Divine Crystals.

One of Gold Element, one of Fire Element, and one of Water Element. All three Divine Crystals were of high quality.

Gao Xuan showed deep interest in the Gold Element Divine Crystal. Although he couldn't use it, he could use it to enhance the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade.

Yet, privately possessing Divine Crystals is a serious crime.

If not discovered, it's fine. But if it is, the path to the Holy Hall is utterly ruined.

The key is that Yuan Youyuan is present. Gao Xuan has a close relationship with her, but doing this—does she have the courage?

Gao Xuan glanced at Yuan Youyuan but didn't speak.

Yuan Youyuan glanced at Gao Xuan and said softly, "Are you thinking of swallowing the Divine Crystal? You really aren't afraid of death, daring to touch that thing." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Saying this, Yuan Youyuan picked up a Water Element Divine Crystal: "Then I'll take one too, just to enhance the power of the Profound Yin Soul Slaying Whip..."

Gao Xuan was somewhat surprised—the Water Element Divine Crystal, though compatible with the Profound Yin Soul Slaying Whip, wasn't worth the risk Yuan Youyuan was taking.

Because the core of the Profound Yin Soul Slaying Whip is piercing the Divine Soul with Profound Yin Power. A specific Yin Element Divine Soul Type Divine Crystal is more suitable.

Yuan Youyuan's actions were mainly to share the spoils with him, expressing her support.

This was really commendable.

Gao Xuan silently put away the Gold Element Divine Crystal and immediately integrated it into the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade.

He then helped Yuan Youyuan integrate the Water Element Divine Crystal into the Profound Yin Soul Slaying Whip.

The power of such Divine Crystals, even if not compatible, would transform into pure energy upon decomposition, helping the Rune Seed grow strong.

Directly using Magical Artifacts to absorb Divine Crystals is the least efficient usage method. Due to the urgency, Divine Crystals are hard to conceal.

Even hiding them in the Dimension Bracelet isn't safe.

Therefore, they needed to deal with them promptly and directly.

Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan returned to the Holy Hall and submitted the Divine Crystals in front of Yuan Ping and Yuan Tiejiang. Yuan Tiejiang held the Three-headed Insect Divine Crystal thoughtfully but said nothing.

Yuan Youyuan, however, felt a tightness in her heart and worriedly talked to Gao Xuan after returning to their room: "Did Old Yuan see something?"

"Without evidence, there's no need to fear," Gao Xuan comforted.

Yuan Youyuan rolled her eyes at Gao Xuan: "Boarding your pirate ship, there's nowhere to escape. I just hope Old Yuan doesn't cause trouble..."
