I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Lu Xuan was stunned upon hearing this, his pupils slightly contracting.

Had he imagined it? Did he hear it wrong?

The Profound Bird Cauldron, enough to shake the world, and Xia Mingyue was going to hand it over?

"Mr. Xia..." His gaze deepened, and his voice carried a dangerous tone, "I don’t like jokes."

Saying this, Lu Xuan’s fingertips instinctively rubbed the patterns on the Profound Bird Cauldron in his palm.

The flawless dao rhythm on the cauldron shook Lu Xuan’s heart slightly.

Moreover, for Xia Mingyue to offer such an Immortal Artifact at such a price, it must be a matter of extreme danger.

"What on earth is it..." Lu Xuan suddenly stepped closer, his aura pressing down like a mountain, "that’s worth entrusting your life Immortal Artifact, Mr. Xia?"

-

Facing Lu Xuan’s cautious expression, Xia Mingyue’s surrounding imperial aura slowly faded away.

This Empress of Great Xia, revered by countless cultivators of the dynasty.

At this moment, her eyes sparkled, and her lips curved into a captivating smile.

The breathtaking beauty of the smile was strikingly stunning.

Empress Xia Mingyue softly parted her lips, her voice akin to pearls falling on jade: "It’s just a minor thing."

As she spoke, Xia Mingyue gracefully raised her fair arm, her fingertips brushing over the radiant cauldron, her voice incredibly gentle.

"I have long admired Mr. Lu, and wish to offer this Profound Bird Cauldron as a betrothal gift, seeking to join with you in matrimony."

Upon these words, the air seemed to freeze momentarily.

Even with Lu Xuan’s unshakeable composure, his mind was significantly rattled.

His pupils contracted, and an unusual expression of shock appeared on his typically calm face.

He stared intently at Xia Mingyue, his previously calm gaze now filled with astonishment.

"Marry you?"

"And with the Profound Bird Cauldron as the betrothal gift?"

"Mr. Xia... you... this..."

Are you turning everything upside down?

Lu Xuan definitely didn’t mean to refuse, but this sudden good fortune seemed too unbelievable.

The dignified Empress of Great Xia, a supreme power of the Earth Venerable Realm Master Perfection.

Would actually offer this national Immortal Artifact just to marry him?

Lu Xuan was doubting his life.

What kind of windfall is this?

Are there really such good fortunes?

Such a wondrous occurrence, even the most absurd dreams wouldn’t dare conjure it.

Lu Xuan closely observed the magnificent Empress before him, as if she were an innocent young girl unversed in worldly affairs.

The legendary simpleton!

At this moment, Lu Xuan truly wanted to say something to Xia Mingyue.

Does your family know about your extravagance?

This extravagant decision, if known by the Great Xia royal family, they’d probably muster all their strength to pursue him.

Though his martial arts cultivation left him unafraid, still... there was some guilt.

"Ah, Mr. Lu is indeed a rare paragon of martial arts genius throughout history."

Not receiving a response from Lu Xuan, Xia Mingyue suddenly sighed lightly, her beautiful eyes flashing a complex look.

"Even my jokes can’t escape your discerning eyes."

Whether these words were true or false, only the Empress herself knew.

Xia Mingyue’s smile vanished like a fleeting flower, soon returning to her aloof majesty.

Her icy demeanor showed no trace of the tenderness seen earlier.

"But gifting the Profound Bird Cauldron is no jest."

"To speak frankly, the current Great Xia royal family can no longer protect the Profound Bird Cauldron."

Xia Mingyue’s voice turned colder.

"A person without a crime, possessing a treasure becomes a crime."

"News of the Profound Bird Cauldron’s emergence has already spread throughout the Celestial Martial Realm."

"The Western Regions Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain’s demon clans, the Eastern Domain’s various forces..."

Cold light flashed in Xia Mingyue’s eyes, "They are all lurking around the capital, waiting to strike as soon as I appear."

Xia Mingyue suddenly looked up, her gaze like autumn water piercing directly into Lu Xuan’s eyes.

"With Mr. Lu’s cultivation, can you not sense those hidden auras throughout the capital?"

"Those people are forcing me to appear, to seize the Immortal Artifact, the Profound Bird Cauldron!"

"I, along with the entire Great Xia royal family, cannot hold the Profound Bird Cauldron."

"Rather than letting the cauldron fall into someone else’s hands..."

Pausing, Xia Mingyue’s lips curved slightly, revealing a resolute smile.

"It’s better to make a favor and gift this Profound Bird Cauldron to Mr. Lu."

......

Only now did Lu Xuan understand Xia Mingyue’s true intentions.

Lu Xuan could only self-mockingly sigh.

Just moments ago, he believed such fortune would fall upon him by chance.

Yet upon further thought, how could Xia Mingyue, as Empress, be deceived by ordinary women and indulge in romantic affairs?

"I see."

Lu Xuan gently brushed his sleeve, his expression returned to his usual composure, "Since Mr. Xia’s intentions are such, then I shall oblige."

Regarding the forces Xia Mingyue mentioned that covet the Profound Bird Cauldron behind the scenes, Lu Xuan didn’t take them seriously at all.

Whether it’s those demons from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain or the major forces from the Celestial Idlism Continent.

In this vast universe, unless an entity beyond Earth Venerable Realm Master Perfection appears.

Otherwise, regardless of who they are, they are mere insignificant creatures before Lu Xuan.

The capital erupted with sudden transmutation!

Abruptly, nine ink-colored divine bird shadows soared skyward from the depths of the palace.

Precisely those Profound Bird shadows in flight, their black tail feathers dragged shocking trails across the clouds.

The ancient dao rhythm entwined in those wings glimmered with profound black light.
