From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 173: Chapter 171: Mysterious Woman_1

Bai Qi realized that her tone was off and immediately shifted directions, her face twisted with conflict as she said, "Well... canceling our engagement... can only be done when both of us willingly want to part ways. Given the current situation... let's not cancel it for now."

Fang Ren simply couldn't understand who she was talking to.

Had he ever said he wanted to share a room? Had he ever said he didn't want to cancel their engagement? Why was this girl acting like she was out of her mind, making up scenarios that even he himself hadn't thought of?

"Stop, stop, stop, enough already."

Fang Ren couldn't stand her wild fantasies any longer and hastily raised his hand to interject, "First of all, we need two separate rooms tonight; and also, we must cancel our engagement. I have no idea what you're thinking, but please, I beg you to stop making things up."

"..."

Bai Qi was momentarily stunned when she heard him speak so abruptly.

Was Fang Ren actually serious when he said these things to her?

He said they needed separate rooms tonight, which seemed to her as if he was giving in on that matter, but then he said they must cancel the engagement, which confused Bai Qi.

He clearly liked her so much, so why was he suddenly so serious about canceling their engagement? And he said something about her making things up...

After briefly deliberating, Bai Qi once again had a sudden realization.

Fang Ren had already been angry at her for her willfulness before they left the Alchemist Guild, and she had thoroughly analyzed that situation before.

Fang Ren was already on a "temper," and her words just now hadn't soothed him at all but instead pushed him to a self-sustaining critical point.

There's a saying, "The straw that broke the camel's back," and Bai Qi felt that Fang Ren was in such a state now; his affection for her had brought him here, but due to her recent words, he was at the brink of his feelings for her collapsing.

After a careful analysis in her mind, Bai Qi reached a heavy conclusion: Fang Ren's feelings had finally collapsed under the weight, and he wanted to give up on her!

As for why Fang Ren said she was making things up, Bai Qi believed it must be an excuse he found to mask his emotions.

She was making things up? How was she making them up? She was analyzing calmly—all of it based on facts. Fang Ren must have been upset by her accurate guess about his feelings, hence he deliberately called her reasoned analysis "making up things."

Sensing the souls around him, indeed, it was Bai Qi's soul that was significantly more powerful; her soul was incredibly dazzling, like a little sun.

After assessing most people's cultivation levels in the restaurant, Fang Ren prepared to close his mind's eye and further enhance his soul force by a notch.

However, just as he was about to close his mind's eye, a blindingly bright light suddenly invaded the edge of his perception.

"Hiss~"

As the light entered his mind's eye, Fang Ren instantly furrowed his brows and drew in a sharp, cold breath.

The moment the white light appeared, he felt a piercing pain in his nerves, and an overwhelming pressure that made him almost afraid to look directly at it.

The white light continued to step into his cognitive range; Fang Ren couldn't see the owner of the light because the luminous sphere was simply too large and dazzling, much larger and more glaring than even Bai Qi's soul.

As the owner of the light approached the restaurant, Fang Ren couldn't help but speculate. He immediately stopped practicing and, looking at the troubled Bai Qi opposite him, he asked, "Besides Butler Chen, has your family sent any other powerful protectors for you?"

Bai Qi looked up at Fang Ren, not understanding why he had suddenly changed the subject, but she replied, "No, there isn't."

Hearing this, Fang Ren immediately turned his head to look outside the restaurant, his brows knitting tight. Judging by the strength of the soul, the newcomer had to be a high-level warrior, at least in the mid-stage of the Xuanyang realm!

If Bai Qi had no other experts besides Chen Cheng around her, then who could this person be?

It was well known that warriors of this realm were typically on the battleground and rarely available to come out.

As the owner of the light was about to reach the door, Fang Ren's concentration intensified.

Click—

As the glass door opened, a woman entered, wearing a vivid teal sunhat and a pure white long dress.

Her hat was low, covering half of her face.

But even with only half of her face showing, the intensely focused Fang Ren was stunned.
