Yu Yuan glanced at her; during this period, Wang Shu Fairy was not as delicate as Chang'e Fairy in later generations, and her facial features possessed more of a heroic air.

However, at this moment, upon hearing Yu Yuan admit his identity, this Moon Guardian still could not help but tremble.

Presently, the Heavenly Court was under strict martial law, countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals rushed back from the East Sea, then without a moment's pause, they headed directly to guard the Ancient Star Domain, nearly all the Strength of the Heavenly Court had been urgently mobilized.

And all of this, just for one person—Xuan Yangzi!

"Why do you oppose our Heavenly Court, Immortal?" Chang Xi Fairy asked with wide eyes blinking.

Yu Yuan rolled his eyes, "It's your Heavenly Court that wants to snatch my treasure; surely I can't just stand still and wait to die?"

Hearing this, a flash of anger passed through Wang Shu Fairy's eyes, she said stubbornly: "What treasure does our Heavenly Court lack? Even the Innate Treasure Chaos Bell is in the hands of Emperor Donghuang!

Even each of the Demon Saints possesses Exotic Treasures, how could they covet the treasure in your hands?"

"Wang Shu!"

Chang Xi Fairy softly called out, somewhat surprised: "I feel like everything he said is true."

"Hm?"

Wang Shu Fairy was momentarily stunned.

Yu Yuan became even more interested, gazing at Chang Xi Fairy: "Can your Nine-Colored Glaze Heart still discern lies?"

"Not at all," Chang Xi Fairy stated seriously: "It's just my intuition telling me that everything you said is true."

Yu Yuan: …

Tsk, this Moon God seems quite naïve and easy to deceive.

Thinking so, he subconsciously looked towards Chang Xi Fairy.

Her youthful beauty was flawless, and coupled with her youthful and charming posture, if this one was to be deceived into coming back...

At this moment, Chang Xi Fairy's fair and delicate face suddenly blushed, her gaze somewhat peculiarly glanced at Yu Yuan, then immediately shifted her eyes away, stammering:

"Im... Immortal... how could you think of such things?"

"Shh!"

As soon as he saw her face that seemed to be on fire, Yu Yuan immediately realized that that fleeting fanciful thought of his had been sensed by her Nine-Colored Exquisite Heart.

Even though Yu Yuan was battle-hardened, faced with her astonished gaze mixed with a bit of reproach, he could not help feeling a bit awkward.

Beside him, Wang Shu Fairy quickly stepped forward, like a protective mother hen shielding Chang Xi Fairy behind her, while warily watching Yu Yuan as if he were a ravenous eagle.

"Cough cough..."

Yu Yuan coughed forcefully twice, making no further explanations and directly and bluntly changed the topic.

"I know who you are now, and I can guess who you are; now let's not beat around the bush, I need your help to leave the Ancient Star Domain...

Mind you, this is not a request, but a threat!

If you do not agree, what awaits you will not be a pleasant ending."

"Hmph!"

Wang Shu Fairy's expression turned cold, her heroic face full of haughtiness and anger.

"You really have ill intentions! Forget about it, we..."

Before she could finish, a crisp voice interrupted her.

"We can help."

Chang Xi Fairy stated earnestly: "Although you, Immortal, just said it's a threat, my Nine-Colored Glaze Heart did not sense any thoughts of you wanting to harm us...

Moreover, it's wrong for the Heavenly Court to try and snatch your treasure.

There must be some misunderstandings here.

Once I send you out of the Ancient Star Domain, I'll make sure to clarify this with the Demon Emperor, asking him not to trouble you anymore."

Hearing this, Yu Yuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Indeed, Chang Xi Fairy at this moment was truly quite naïve.

Or perhaps, naïve would be a better description.

Her world did not contain so many deceits; it was simply black or white.

Yu Yuan suddenly understood something.

Why she possessed the Nine-Colored Glaze Heart.

Utmost purity! Utmost sincerity! Utmost kindness!

Perhaps it was for this reason that she always remained on the Taiyin Star, never leaving her gates, spending her days either in cultivation or comprehending the Great Dao. The only people she might have contact with were probably only her sister Xi He and the maid Wang Shu.

"Mistress!" Fairy Wang Shu said anxiously, "The entire Heavenly Court is now pursuing him, and both Emperors even went to the extent of deploying the Celestial Stars Formation to capture him... This matter is of great importance, you must not get involved, or it could lead to a major disaster!"

After saying that, she turned her head towards Yu Yuan, pleading earnestly, "Please, Immortal, for the sake of the Mistress's willingness to help you, spare us! If we really help you escape, we would be the ones in trouble."

Fairy Chang Xi slightly frowned, "Do you mean that the Demon Emperor would punish me because of this?"

Fairy Wang Shu nodded vigorously, saying solemnly, "This time the Emperors have even mobilized the Great Celestial Stars Formation, they are determined to capture this Immortal Xuan Yangzi!

If you, Mistress, were to ruin the major endeavours of the two Emperors, and he manages to escape, we would be in deep trouble!"

"So that's how it is..."

Fairy Chang Xi nodded, seemingly having understood the complexities.

She was just innocent, not foolish.

"Then I cannot help you."

She looked at Yu Yuan, with a slight apology in her voice, "Although I sympathize with your plight and really want to help you, if I were to truly assist you, I would infuriate both the Demon Emperor and Donghuang.

The Demon Emperor might spare me for the sake of my sister, but Wang Shu would undoubtedly be doomed.

I cannot sacrifice her life to aid you.

However, rest assured, I will go and negotiate with the Demon Emperor, trying to convince him to give up seizing your Hongmeng Purple Qi."

Yu Yuan: "…"

Today, he truly realized what it meant to treat others with sincerity.

Previously, he felt that people like Yun Zhongzi were as sincere as one could get.

But after meeting Fairy Chang Xi, who possessed the Nine-Colored Glaze Heart, Yu Yuan gained a whole new understanding of "sincerity".

Despite Fairy Chang Xi's final words appearing very naive, completely oblivious to the significance of the Hongmeng Purple Qi — even her sister, the Demon Queen Xi He, didn't have the right to interject, let alone her.

Fairy Wang Shu was also aware of this, looking at her mistress hesitantly, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"Don't bother."

Yu Yuan said with a smile, "The help I mentioned was just a courtesy to you all. What I mean is, I am commandeering this Moon Car... and you!"

He looked at Fairy Chang Xi seriously, "From now on, you are my captive!"

"Me?"

Fairy Chang Xi's eyes widened, and she pointed to her nose with her crystal white slender finger, looking at Yu Yuan in surprise.

"What are you trying to do?" Fairy Wang Shu shouted angrily, "Her Majesty wanted to help you, and you actually..."

"Be quiet."

Before she could finish, Yu Yuan directly grabbed Fairy Wang Shu and threw her out of the Moon Car, then shouted sternly, "Go tell Donghuang Taiyi, Chang Xi Fairy is in my hands.

She will be safe for a short while, but if the blockade on the Ancient Star Domain is not lifted within half a day, I cannot guarantee her safety after that!"

After speaking, he also left the sedan, took the driver's seat himself, and drove the Moon Car away rapidly, leaving behind Fairy Wang Shu who wanted to chase but could not, only able to rage powerlessly.

"Um…"

Fairy Chang Xi sat cross-legged inside the sedan, somewhat bewildered as she looked through the window at Yu Yuan in front and whispered, "Actually, you just don't want to cause us trouble, so you're using 'kidnapping' as a method... you won't really harm me, right?"

Yu Yuan turned his head back, his gaze sweeping over her.

Fairy Chang Xi subconsciously clenched her overlapped collar, her face slightly blushing.

After a slight hesitation, she whispered softly, "Immortal, you... you can't come in here!"

"…"

While Yu Yuan felt awkward, he also found it strange.

By his cultivation, he should have been unmoved by the collapse of Mount Tai or unaffected by beauty, yet why today, in front of this Fairy Chang Xi, did he continuously entertain fanciful thoughts?
