The Carefree Immortal, Episode 9: What is Love? Chapter 4: Falling in Love

Xiao Xuan dodged to the side, his mind racing as he channeled his inner fire energy into the eight-clawed flaming dragon whip coiled around his arm.

Bi'er wielded two strangely shaped weapons resembling clusters of flowers, her delicate body spinning in the air, instantly unleashing countless slashes at the terrifying foot's side.

Sparks flew, but the terrifying foot merely trembled slightly, tossing Xiao Xuan aside, and unleashing a storm of hook-like long legs.

Bi'er immediately became flustered, showing signs of weakness in the blink of an eye.

Beside her, a graceful hand opened, five orchid-like fingers flashing with purple flames, a burst of light exploding outwards, forcefully pushing the rock-like terrifying foot back several steps. Almost simultaneously, her right hand swiftly reached to her waist, drawing a small, jade-green bamboo knife.

The terrifying foot swung its long legs, its sharp tips deeply embedded in the wall beside it, firmly securing itself.

Suddenly, crimson flames flashed in the dim light, a fiery serpent slithering out, illuminating Xiao Xuan behind it. The terrifying foot lashed out, its sharp claws slicing through the surrounding bamboo walls of the treasure vase, and charged menacingly towards the fire serpent.

Xiao Xuan, unfazed, stepped forward. With a flick of his wrist, the fire serpent suddenly swelled, transforming into a gigantic, ferocious fire dragon, leaping towards the lightning-fast, sharp foot.

The two rapidly closed in, muffled booms echoing through the air. At first, the terrifying foot's tiger-striped legs and the fire dragon appeared to be locked in a fierce battle, like dragons locked in combat. Suddenly, a brilliant red light erupted, and the fire dragon's body swelled wildly, instantly engulfing the terrifying foot's massive form.

The three girls beside him felt a suffocating heatwave wash over them and quickly retreated. A series of cracking sounds followed, and before they could understand what was happening, the red light vanished, and the flying fire dragon reappeared in the air, illuminating the two figures facing off.

The fire dragon suddenly extinguished, and Xiao Xuan flicked his arm, effortlessly retracting the Eight-Clawed Flame Dragon Whip, now in its original form, into his sleeve with unparalleled agility and style.

The terrifying foot, so close to the three girls, remained frozen in place, its grotesque head, sculpted in the likeness of the tiger spider Mo Yang, almost touching their noses.

"What happened?"

Bi'er exclaimed in surprise, seeing the man standing motionless, she assumed he was injured.

Xiao Xuan smiled, and at that moment, the terrifying foot shattered, its massive body collapsing like a landslide, its broken limbs and shattered internal parts scattered across the ground.

The three girls stared in disbelief.

"Where to next?"

Xiao Xuan feigned composure, but inwardly he was overjoyed with his performance.

He clearly remembered that when they last visited the Divine Craft Well, E'yan had said she was no match for the terrifying foot, but this time he had easily defeated one, and a sense of pride crept in alongside his delight.

"Brother Xiaobai is amazing!"

Bi'er cheered excitedly.

E'yan looked at Xiao Xuan with surprise, unable to connect his skills with what she saw before her.

"How could there be a terrifying foot hidden here?"

Xiao Xuan hesitated, staring at the huge wreckage in front of him, a strong urge to collect the scraps rising in his heart.

"This little saint has always been this powerful."

Xiao Xuan replied with a grin, finally unable to resist, he began to collect the scattered pieces of the terrifying foot.

"Hurry up, we might have already alerted the guards elsewhere!"

E'yan sheathed her sword and turned to run.

"Wait a minute."

Xiao Xuan hurriedly chanted a forbidden spell, opened his Ruyi Treasure Pouch, and put the remains and scattered pieces of the terrifying foot into it one by one.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and go."

Zi'er urged.

"What use is this thing in such a broken state?"

Bi'er wondered.

“This is the infamous Terrifying Foot!”

Xiao Xuan exclaimed. “Let’s see if we can repair it. If we’re lucky, we might even be able to forge it into a brand new treasure.”

Hearing this, E’yan turned around and called out impatiently, “Don’t pick it up! I’ll give you a good one after we reclaim Giant Bamboo Fortress.”

“Really? Don’t forget!”

Xiao Xuan was overjoyed, but still insisted on putting away the last severed limb of the Terrifying Foot before rushing off.

The four of them continued onward, encountering more and more guards, all hurrying along, clearly coordinating their defenses. The four of them carefully dealt with them, avoiding them one by one. After descending several more levels, they suddenly saw a waterfall several meters wide hanging in front of them. Xiao Xuan was still in awe when he saw E’yan rushing over.

“Wow! How magnificent! I never imagined there would be something like this inside a building.”

Xiao Xuan stood in front of the waterfall and exclaimed in admiration.

“It’s not natural,”

E’yan said.

"It's only amazing that it's man-made! Incredible!"

Xiao Xuan exclaimed, his admiration for the people who built this magical fortress growing ever stronger. Seeing E'yan focused on the waterfall, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with this waterfall?"

"Through this waterfall, we can reach the center of the fortress's bottom, which is the exit of the Tai Bi Yin Vein,"

E'yan said.

Xiao Xuan leaned out and looked at the cascading waterfall, only to see a pitch-black mass beneath the mist, its depths unfathomable. He exclaimed in surprise, "We have to jump down from here?"

Zi'er exclaimed in horror, "The water is so strong! One wrong move and we're done for!"

Bi'er also exclaimed in surprise, "How deep is it? Flying down is fine, but we're afraid of being swept away by the water."

"Of course we're not jumping down. There's a secret elevator platform hidden behind this waterfall,"

E'yan said.

The three people beside him breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Xuan said, "I see, that's wonderful, wonderful! Shall we jump over?"

"Be careful, everyone. I don't know if there are any additional guards here,"

E'yan said, gazing at the waterfall.

"If it's there, take it down! I'll go in and check it out first."

Before Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he had already darted out like an arrow, leaving a trail of sparks flying down the waterfall.

E'yan quickly followed, and the Zi Bi sisters hesitated for a moment before flying towards the waterfall as well.

With a "splash," Xiao Xuan had passed through the waterfall. Opening his eyes, he saw a square platform about ten feet long and wide in front of him. He focused his true energy and landed steadily on it.

The platform was open and unobstructed, with nothing but a long vertical axis in the center. Seeing nothing amiss, Xiao Xuan was about to call out when he heard the sound of rushing water. The three girls had already leaped in one after another.

"No guards,"

Xiao Xuan said happily.

The Zi Bi sisters breathed a sigh of relief and lowered the weapons that were protecting their chests.

E'yan, however, was still looking around, each hand gripping a talisman, her expression very vigilant.

Xiao Xuan noticed a short handle on the vertical axis and asked, "Is this the lifting switch?"

"It's a bit strange that such an important place doesn't have a single guard..."

E Yan pondered, her face full of doubt.

"Perhaps those evil spirits haven't discovered this secret platform yet, so they haven't set up any defenses,"

Bi'er said.

“Impossible.”

Eyan shook her head. “Although this place is hidden, the Thousand-Armed Demon has coveted the Tai Bi Spirit Vein for a long time. It’s impossible that he’s occupied it for so many years and still hasn’t found this platform leading to the Yin Vein.”

“Perhaps… they were too careless, thinking that no one could sneak in unnoticed and find this place.”

Zi’er deduced.

Eyan frowned, still deep in thought.

“Never mind him, if one comes, we’ll kill one; if two come, we’ll kill both!”

Xiao Xuan said, suddenly feeling a sense of danger, and hurriedly dodged to the side.

“Watch out!”

Eyan shouted almost simultaneously, raising her hand and flicking it. Instantly, a flash of green light appeared beside Xiao Xuan, and a green vine as thick as a large bowl appeared, binding a tall figure that looked like a human!

“What is that?”

Xiao Xuan asked in surprise, and the Eight-Clawed Fiery Dragon Whip flew out from his sleeve.

Eyan’s left hand suddenly flicked out again, exploding into a ball of brilliant purple light behind Bi’er, illuminating the outline of a tall human figure.

The two little demons were startled. They both drew their weapons and attacked the humanoid silhouette simultaneously, but the sound of metal clanging rang out, and the silhouette vanished in the blink of an eye.

A talisman instantly appeared between the fingers of E'yan's left hand, and her right hand darted to her waist, drawing a small bamboo knife with lightning speed. At that moment, a sharp cry rang out, and a spurt of blood shot from her left shoulder, as if pierced by an invisible sharp object. She was thrown off the platform, crashing into the cascading waterfall behind her, disappearing in an instant.

"No!"

Xiao Xuan roared, leaping forward, his whip like a dragon, but he only managed to whip up empty air, creating a ripple in the water. A

cracking sound came from the side, as if something was attacking him. The two little demons beside him frantically swung their weapons at the sound, but both missed.

"What the hell!"

Xiao Xuan roared, his Eye of No Form instantly appearing on the platform. Four faint figures materialized, none other than the Sword Generals he had seen before, each wielding a giant, almost transparent sword. One of them had already stealthily crept up behind Zi'er.

"You bastard!"

Xiao Xuan sprang into action, his whip transforming into a fiery dragon that struck the Sword General who was about to launch a sneak attack. A loud "bang" resounded, and in the ensuing flash, the Sword General was shattered.

The three invisible Sword Generals around him simultaneously swung their giant swords, slashing and thrusting at him with lightning speed.

Xiao Xuan's face was contorted with rage. The eight-clawed fiery dragon whip on his arm danced wildly like a raging dragon, its power terrifying. The two little fairies on the platform scattered in panic. Amidst the leaping flames, a deafening roar followed. One sword general was swept in half at the waist, followed by a second who was sent flying off the platform. After several more exchanges, the last sword general's head was severed by the fire dragon, spinning wildly on the ground before being kicked into the waterfall.

The two little fairies paled, staring in fear at the enraged man.

"Eyan!"

Xiao Xuan cried out from the edge of the platform.

The two sisters also lay down on the edge, looking down.

"Eyan!"

Xiao Xuan called again, his voice hoarse.

"Eyan! Where are you?"

Bi'er also called out.

Then there was no reply, only the roar of the waterfall in their ears.

"Waaah...Eyan..."

Xiao Xuan choked back tears, overwhelmed with grief.

"Don't worry, you don't know how powerful E'yan is. She's covered in incredibly powerful talismans; she'll be fine,"

Zi'er said.

"Didn't you see she's injured!"

Xiao Xuan roared, his eyes bloodshot like a beast's.

The two little demons were startled and shrank back in unison.

Xiao Xuan stood up, sheathed his whip, and took a deep breath.

The two sisters were shocked. Zi'er cried out, "What are you trying to do?"

Xiao Xuan suddenly leaped off the platform and crashed into the cascading waterfall, disappearing instantly.

The two little demons stared in disbelief. After a long while, Bi'er stammered, "He jumped down?"

Zi'er's delicate body trembled slightly, tears welling in her eyes. She suddenly shouted down, "Fool! Idiot!"

The waterfall cascaded down, relentlessly carrying Xiao Xuan, who was caught in its flow, downwards. Xiao Xuan's eyes were tightly closed; he had no choice but to gather his inner energy to protect himself.

The descent was extremely rapid, yet even so, it took several breaths before he hit the bottom. Like a meteor, Xiao Xuan crashed heavily into a pool of icy water, then was relentlessly pushed deeper by the powerful waterfall. A tremendous buoyancy then lifted him upwards. Even a common cultivator would likely be crushed and killed instantly by these two opposing forces, let alone an ordinary person.

But Xiao Xuan was no longer the same. Hidden within him was a ten-thousand-year-old pearl, forged in the depths of the Ninefold Abyss. Within him lay the immense killing intent accumulated on the battlefield of Zeyang. He had absorbed the rare and precious essence that should have been enjoyed by a Taiyi Daluo. Furthermore, what transformed him was a Flying Immortal Inner Core, cultivated using countless true treasures and supreme immortal techniques.

All of this had secretly helped him survive several life-or-death ordeals, and allowed him to escape alive this time.

Xiao Xuan quickly recovered from his dizziness. With a few powerful kicks, he rose rapidly upwards, and with a splash, finally emerged from the water.

He was now several feet from the waterfall, but the misty spray still shrouded him, obscuring his vision; he only knew he was in a pool.

Xiao Xuan looked around, assessing his surroundings, when he suddenly heard a clear, sharp shout. His heart pounded, and with a surge of inner energy, he rose from the water like a dragon emerging from the sea, swiftly heading towards the sound.

As soon as he emerged from the mist, he spotted a slender figure on the shore, dressed in purple robes and holding a small knife. It was none other than E'yan. He was overjoyed, but then realized something was amiss. A horde of monsters was surging towards her. Upon closer inspection, he recognized them as the tree spirits he had seen before. He immediately flew over, shouting, "E'yan, don't panic, I'm here!"

E'yan looked up and swept past, her taut, icy expression blooming like a flower.

Xiao Xuan landed beside her, his Eight-Clawed Fiery Dragon Whip swirling from his sleeve like a fire dragon. With a mighty roar, he swept one of the approaching tree spirits to the ground, then with a backhand swipe, he swept away another tree spirit with long, limbing limbs.

"One on each side,"

E'yan called out, her delicate body spinning to lean against his back, her small knife flashing as she slashed incessantly.

The tree spirits closed in one after another, not only numerous but also strangely tall. However, Xiao Xuan, filled with joy, fearlessly met them head-on. His true energy erupted, even cleaving a tree spirit over two zhang tall into a burst of flames.

"Awesome!"

he cried out, his whip exploding and setting several more tree spirits ablaze. He felt his true energy flowing like never before, and caught up in the battle, he switched from defense to offense, shouting and charging forward.

E'yan, on the other hand, remained silent behind him.

Xiao Xuan suddenly remembered her fall into the waterfall and quickly asked, "How are you hurt?"

"I'm fine,"

E'yan replied.

Hearing her weak and feeble voice, Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and caught sight of a large patch of crimson blood on her back, and exclaimed in shock, "You...you're so badly injured!"

"Never mind that, deal with them first!"

E'yan hissed.

There was no other way to deal with the situation. Xiao Xuan was frantic, unleashing all his ruthless attacks. His Flaming Dragon Whip danced and leaped through the air like a fiery dragon, slashing, igniting, swirling, and exploding tree spirits one after another.

But the tree spirits kept coming, one after another. Just as a few fell, more appeared from nowhere, seemingly endless.

"Damn it! How can there be so many?" Xiao

Xuan gritted his teeth, fearing the girl wouldn't be able to hold on any longer. He asked, "E'yan, how are you?"

In that moment of distraction, a gigantic tree spirit, three or four zhang tall, attacked from above. Its long, thick arm, covered in sharp, forked branches, broke through the fire dragon's defenses and crashed down on his head with the force of a thunderbolt.

Xiao Xuan inwardly cried out in alarm, but with his whip already extended, he knew he couldn't retract it in time. Just as he was about to desperately dodge, the tree spirit's long arm suddenly went out of control, plummeting to the ground, cleanly severed by something.

E'yan's icy face appeared beside him, smiling, "I've taken care of that."

With a flick of her dagger, she instantly sliced through the air, and a massive tree spirit several feet away was cut in half, its crown tilting as it crashed to the ground with a deafening roar.

Xiao Xuan stared in disbelief. Then, E'yan swung her knife, cleaving another tree spirit a few steps away in two, each half falling to one side. He turned back in horror, only to see countless tree spirits piled high behind him, utterly dumbfounded.

"Help me! I'm out of strength!"

E'yan cried coquettishly.

Xiao Xuan's gaze fell on her blood-stained clothes, his heart aching with both pain and anxiety. With a roar, he leaped into the enemy ranks, fighting fiercely among the remaining dozen or so tree demons.

Eyan remained in place, waiting for an opportunity to strike. With each swing, a tree spirit within several feet was inexplicably cleaved in two, the cuts smooth as a mirror.

Finally, Xiao Xuan turned the last tree spirit into a ball of fire and hurriedly returned to Eyan's side.

Eyan, her small knife hanging limply, gave him a weak smile before suddenly collapsing to the ground.

Xiao Xuan was shocked and knelt down to examine her injuries. He saw that her left shoulder was a bloody mess, with blood still gushing out. He quickly tore off a sleeve to bandage her wound, his face pale and trembling as he said, "The injury is so severe, it seems to have pierced through."

Eyan looked at him with a smile and asked, "Why did you jump down?"

Xiao Xuan suddenly remembered something, quickly opened his magic pouch, and took out a small, dark bottle. He poured out two small pills and said, "Take these quickly."

"What are these?"

Eyan asked.

"They're said to be the best healing medicine from the Demon-Slaying Fortress, given to me by He Tianpeng,"

Xiao Xuan said.

"No!"

But the girl turned her head away. "I don't want that stinky man's stuff!"

"Eat it quickly, what's the point of being picky now!"

Xiao Xuan urged.

"No, I'd rather die than accept it!"

E'yan was unusually resolute.

"Stop it, saving your life is the priority, look, the blood is still seeping!"

Xiao Xuan coaxed.

The girl stubbornly turned her head to the other side, still refusing.

He should have known better than to say it was from He Tianpeng! Xiao Xuan regretted it deeply and was at a loss for what to do.

"Hey, I'm asking you, why did you jump from such a height?"

E'yan asked again. Xiao Xuan

was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"You were very worried when you saw me fall, weren't you?"

E'yan looked into his eyes and said softly.

"Ah? That...that..."

Xiao Xuan stammered.

E'yan giggled sweetly.

"Take your medicine quickly, okay? Look, your face is all pale."

Xiao Xuan pleaded softly again.

"Don't worry, it's okay, my face has never been very pale."

E'yan said.

Xiao Xuan stared blankly at her, his gaze unknowingly drawn to her icy, beautiful face.

"Am I ugly?"

E'yan asked.

"No,"

Xiao Xuan shook his head, "Very beautiful, incredibly beautiful."

The girl smiled even sweeter, then suddenly said, "I'm so tired, can I lean on your shoulder for a bit?"

Xiao Xuan quickly moved to sit beside her, and the girl leaned against him, resting her head on his shoulder.

"It's a pity my second senior sister isn't here. Her healing skills are superb; because of her, I didn't bring any healing medicine when I went down the mountain,"

Xiao Xuan said, his heart filled with boundless longing for Li Mengtang at times like this.

"Second senior sister?"

E'yan asked, "She's very good to you, isn't she?"

"Yes,"

Xiao Xuan nodded.

"Is she as good to you as your third senior sister?"

E'yan continued with a smile.

"All my senior sisters are very good to me,"

Xiao Xuan replied casually, his thoughts lost in the beautiful moments on Xiaoyao Peak.

E'yan bit her lip and muttered something softly.

"What did you say?"

Xiao Xuan asked.

"Nothing!"

the girl said with a straight face.

"How are you feeling?"

Xiao Xuan looked down at her bandage; the bleeding seemed to have stopped.

"I'm going to die,"

E Yan said.

"Are you in a lot of pain?"

Xiao Xuan immediately became anxious.

E Yan glanced at him, sighed softly, and a smile gradually returned to her face.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Xuan asked anxiously.

"Brother Xuan, can I just die in your arms like this?"

E Yan said with a grin.

"What nonsense are you talking about? No, not at all!"

Xiao Xuan said, both anxious and annoyed.

"Then don't die,"

E Yan smiled. "Don't worry, I'll get better soon, I promise you."

Seeing her relaxed expression, Xiao Xuan felt a little relieved and said, "Let's leave here quickly so we can find medicine to treat you."

"I'm not leaving,"

E Yan said. "Look how beautiful this place is, I won't leave until I've enjoyed it enough."

Xiao Xuan then noticed his surroundings and looked up to find himself in a vast space. The walls and ceiling were constructed from enormous, thick vase-shaped bamboo stalks, each carved with a landscape of mountains, rivers, islands, and various strange and exotic trees.

A huge opening in the towering ceiling, dozens of feet high, allowed the waterfall that had carried Xiao Xuan and E Yan to cascade down. Around the opening were large carvings of the sun, moon, and stars. At the bottom of the waterfall was a large pool, surrounded by clusters of vibrant, living vase-shaped bamboo. But the most peculiar sight was not far from the pool, a well-like structure several feet in diameter, also constructed of vase-shaped bamboo. Streams of soft, dazzling green light emanated from the well, bathing everything in this vast space in a deep green hue.

"What is this place?"

Xiao Xuan exclaimed, his mouth agape.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

E'yan joked. "Why don't we stay here from now on?"

"From now on?"

Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He said nervously, "There's no food or drink here. I'm afraid we won't be able to stay for long."

"You don't want to?"

E'yan asked.

Xiao Xuan's heart pounded even harder. He stole a glance and saw the girl gazing at him, her starry eyes misty with a layer of watery fog. His heart felt as if something mysterious had been sprinkled upon it, and he felt a surge of trepidation.

The two were so close that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

The girl's long eyelashes suddenly drooped, and her gaze lingered on his lips for a moment.

Xiao Xuan held his breath, and his gaze unconsciously fell on the girl's lips as well. They were soft and smooth, with a soft, pale red hue and a moist sheen, trembling gently like flower petals.

E'yan looked up and met the man's gaze. Her heart pounded like a deer's, but she still hesitated, tilting her head slightly upward.

Xiao Xuan suddenly realized that the distance between them was slowly shrinking, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was him or the other person moving forward.

Or perhaps both of them?

The four hot lips were getting closer and closer, and just as they were about to touch, E Yan suddenly turned her head away, her face turned away, and a charming blush appeared on her originally icy pretty face.
