School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1816 - 1902: The Gathering of Demon Gods
Previously on School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master...
The youthful girl's audacity almost made Chen Nan erupt in laughter, yet he managed to suppress his internal turmoil.
"Hahaha..."
With a swift movement, he vanished from the room, reappearing in the hall. The Demon Gods had already made their hasty retreat. The moment they witnessed Chen Nan's stern demeanor, all thoughts of the Four Infant Immortal Pill were abandoned. Upon seeing Chen Nan and Ji Yueshen enter, they scattered, leaving only the Black Feathered Chicken and Liu Tiantian behind.
Black Feathered Chicken and Fire Qilin lay sprawled out, idly absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. The very structure of Lingxiao Pavilion, from its foundation to its upper levels, was constructed with arrays designed to draw in this vital energy, creating an atmosphere rich with power.
The zenith of this energetic abundance was found on the sixth floor, where the Yuan Qi was both most plentiful and remarkably gentle.
Meanwhile, Liu Tiantian and Chu Wenrou were huddled by the entrance of Chen Nan and Ji Yueshen’s bridal chamber, their ears pressed to the door, engrossed in eavesdropping. Their focus was so absolute that they failed to notice Chen Nan’s reappearance.
"Slap slap!"
Seizing the opportune moment, Chen Nan delivered a sharp smack to each of their sizable buttocks, the sound echoing clearly. "What are you eavesdropping on? Is it that interesting?"
As the two women shrieked, Chen Nan feigned anger, gripping Chu Wenrou's arm. "You didn't heed my explanation earlier; therefore, your punishment shall be doubled."
He then raised his hand again towards Chu Wenrou’s posterior, prompting another startled cry and a leap from her. The next instant, seeing Chen Nan merely wave his hand, she breathed a sigh of relief, her cheeks flushed. "What I said was the truth! Liu Tiantian, they favor you, but I won't admit it," she pouted indignantly.
This young lady’s audacity left Chen Nan utterly speechless.
"Alright, let's depart swiftly. I genuinely fear that young lady. Her capabilities are somewhat formidable, and we are no match for her. Should we provoke her, we’ll be in serious trouble." Chen Nan chuckled wryly and urged them to hurry. He knew if Ji Yueshen realized what had transpired, he would be the one to face the consequences.
This little scare tactic proved somewhat effective. Four of the women, with the exception of Su Qingqing who merely offered a smile, obediently settled onto Fire Qilin’s back, beginning their descent from Lingxiao Pavilion.
Chen Nan mounted the Black Feathered Chicken, reminiscing about Ji Yueshen’s flustered reaction when he had turned the tables on her. He found it amusing that despite her superior cultivation, in such a vulnerable position, she hadn't thought to utilize her strength to intimidate him.
Yet, he recalled their initial encounter at Treasure Pavilion, where Ji Yueshen had projected an image of someone not easily intimidated. It was truly peculiar; Chen Nan couldn't quite fathom it.
Once outside Lingxiao Pavilion, Chen Nan urged them towards the outskirts of Lingxiao City.
Chen Nan had not forgotten the critical items he carried: the Mangzhusha Flower, the Divine Stone Flower Pot, and the ginseng fruit gifted by the young prince—each a treasure of immense value. If they were to be apprehended by Cang Yue Gong, their escape would surely prove exceedingly difficult.
The women had generally been accepting of Chen Nan’s relationships with others, but Ji Yueshen appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen. Regardless of her peculiar temperament, she was still a young girl, and it was best not to lead her astray.
Following Chen Nan’s carefully laid plan, they took to the skies, heading beyond the confines of Lingxiao City.
As Fire Qilin and Black Feathered Chicken soared enthusiastically through the air, a white silhouette suddenly flickered in the void, obstructing their path. "Brother Chen, you've only just arrived in Lingxiao City, and you're already departing?"
It was Bai Shisi, one of the fourteen formidable experts of Demon God Mountain.
His sudden appearance confirmed the young prince’s earlier assertion: the other seven, including Cang Yue Gong, had likely also emerged from Lingxiao Pavilion.
"Hehe, Fourteenth Lord, I hadn't anticipated such a fated encounter. With the major upheaval in Lingxiao City, if you hadn't come out to oversee matters, I might have already fled. Should the city fall, I would surely perish without a trace." Chen Nan responded with an impassive expression, observing Bai Shisi’s lips curl into a knowing smile, prompting Chen Nan to wonder about his thoughts.
This Fourteenth Lord is an incarnation of the Divine Beast Bai Ze, possessing profound understanding of the world's intricacies. Could it be that he has already seen through my facade? Chen Nan pondered, a sense of unease creeping in.
Despite his inner apprehension, he maintained an outward composure, as if untouched by worry. He offered Bai Shisi a disingenuous grin.
Bai Shisi let out a cold laugh. "Kid, what are you contemplating? The strange phenomena in Lingxiao City stem from shifts within the Panlong Star Domain, as you well know. Come, I shall escort you to meet Big Brother. He claims these recent changes in the Star Domain bear some connection to you."
Chen Nan was utterly bewildered. "What kind of absurdity is this, Fourteenth Lord? You must be mistaken. How could I possibly be involved? I am undeniably a good person. Heaven and Earth bear witness, the Sun and Moon affirm it. I have committed no offense against Demon God Mountain."
Chen Nan stammered, a sense of guilt washing over him. Damn it, could this imply that his slaying of the Demon Clan Supreme had weakened the world barrier, allowing these Outer Domain experts to intrude? This sort of culpability could not fall upon him. In times like these, one must stand firm and never admit fault. If those Outer Domain fiends were to appear, he would simply redouble his efforts.
Bai Shisi responded with a somber tone, "Who said you did something wrong to Demon God Mountain? Stop dawdling and accompany me to see Cang Yue Gong. He has something important for you, which may also present a significant opportunity."
"Not going, not going! I won't go even if it means my death."
Having uttered those words, Chen Nan feigned an attempt to flee. With Cang Yue Gong's influence, what crucial benefit could possibly be for him? It was surely related to the matter of the young prince gifting the Mangzhusha Flower, a scheme to lure him into a trap. Considering the recent actions of Demon God Mountain, they surely wouldn't trouble Black Feathered Chicken and Liu Tiantian. Acting rashly, Chen Nan resolved to escape first. Once he was beyond the confines of Lingxiao City, he would conceal his possessions, and with no evidence of his involvement, that would be for the best.
He moved with haste, vanishing from his original position and sprinting frantically towards the walls of Lingxiao City, only to be repelled by a sudden collision. "Damn it, there's a barrier here." He then darted towards another section of the city wall.
"Splat!"
This time, he was once again unceremoniously bounced back. Turning around, Chen Nan observed Bai Shisi hovering in the sky, a grin playing on his lips. "Brother Chen, you had best follow me. The barrier around Lingxiao City is now operational, woven from forty-nine forbidden techniques meticulously arranged by fourteen formidable experts. It's not just you; even Supreme Experts would hold little hope of breaching it."
