School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1854 - 1940: Secret Realm Treasure 7
Previously on School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master...
Present were Nantian Heavenly Monarch of the Qingtian Sect, along with his sect's grand masters, and Wuji Heavenly Monarch from the Liangji Sect, accompanied by his own grand masters. These four powerful figures had disregarded Chen Nan's counsel, harboring ambitions of being the first to breach the secret realm and seize its treasures. However, their advance was abruptly halted; they were left utterly dumbfounded long before reaching the designated area.
The fierce Heavenly Wind and the searing Earth Fire unleashed a powerful tremor within their very beings, paralyzing them with shock at a considerable distance. The mere thought of venturing closer was unthinkable. With their current level of cultivation, it was unequivocally clear that entering such a perilous zone would result in immediate demise, with not even their divine souls escaping annihilation.
Deeply unsettled by this terrifying display, the quartet hastily retreated.
While the elder clad in yellow robes was unleashing a torrent of curses, Chen Nan remained unfettered within the Haotian Tower, enjoying the company of the ladies and utterly disregarding the commotion outside. However, Ji Yueshen found herself unable to contain her ire and resolved to confront the elder. She felt compelled to venture out and deal with him directly.
"How dare he insult my man! He is merely seeking his own demise. I shall strike them down," she declared, her voice laced with determination.
Despite her typically playful demeanor, when this young woman adopted a serious stance, she emanated the same regal aura as her elder sister, the Yin Yang Saintess.
Merely contemplating the insult fueled her fury, and she harbored a strong desire to eliminate all four individuals loitering outside.
If the fate of the Four Extremes World and the preservation of its power depended on these four, Chen Nan held no illusions; their contribution would be negligible. Under normal circumstances, given the opportunity, he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate them himself.
He had harbored dissatisfaction towards them for quite some time already.
However, their current presence was at the behest of the Ghost Sovereign, and their true motives remained shrouded in mystery. With the situation so uncertain, Chen Nan opted for a cautious approach, preferring to observe their actions and intentions.
"Little Ji, do not be rash. One cannot simply end lives over a mere disagreement. Considering they arrived with the Ghost Sovereign's assistance, dispatching them would be imprudent. Furthermore, we are now without any cannon fodder for the God Demon Secret Realm, so let us keep them well-fed for now," Chen Nan advised with a chuckle.
Chen Nan let out a soft chuckle.
The Sky Dragon King and Yunlong Heavenly Monarch could not help but shudder involuntarily.
From afar, Yunhua Heavenly Monarch observed Ji Yueshen, a dawning realization flickering in his eyes as he murmured, "Supreme!"
Chen Nan, possessing a telepathic link with the Haotian Tower, perceived Yunhua Heavenly Monarch's quiet utterance despite the distance.
"This girl is no simple character. Her power resides at the Half-step Supreme Peak State. It appears my earlier judgment was accurate," Chen Nan reflected. Although he wielded the power of a War Supreme, he did not allow himself to become overconfident.
A person should possess dignity, but not arrogance. As a mid-stage Heavenly Monarch, he was certainly capable of turning the tide of significant events. In the treacherous environment of the secret realm, he would undoubtedly face dangers at every step. Possessing greater personal strength would undoubtedly prove advantageous when such times arose.
Ji Yueshen rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Do not call me 'Little Ji.' 'Little Ji' sounds like you're addressing a chicken. Chen Nan, are you tired of living?"
"Come on, kill me if you can," Chen Nan retorted defiantly.
With the shift in their conversation, Ji Yueshen abandoned the topic of killing and approached Yunhua Heavenly Monarch, beginning to interact with him.
Yunlong Heavenly Monarch, initially conversing with his sister, found himself compelled to join Chen Nan to alleviate the palpable awkwardness. The sight of a middle-aged man standing amidst two young women was undeniably peculiar.
The elders in yellow and purple robes continued their grumbling and cursing, while Wuji Heavenly Monarch and Nantian Heavenly Monarch remained conspicuously silent. Chen Nan had previously subjected them to sufficient humiliation, even when he was merely at the Immortal Domain realm. Now, having ascended to the mid-stage Heavenly Monarch, he stood on equal footing in terms of cultivation, possessing an unfathomable depth of strength.
Yet, deep within their hearts, schemes began to brew. Although direct confrontation with Chen Nan was prohibited by the Ghost Sovereign's decree, they were fully capable of orchestrating a situation to teach him a harsh lesson.
Their aspiration was to witness Chen Nan utterly defeated, not only shamed before his female companions but perhaps even to persuade Ziyun to return to the Magic Realm, thereby bolstering its power.
"Old ancestor, I observe a peculiar tower in that vicinity. I recall that brat Chen Nan possesses a treasure comparable to an innate spiritual treasure. That artifact appears to be his," Nantian Heavenly Monarch exclaimed, his eyes instantly gleaming with avarice upon noticing the Haotian Tower.
Instantly, the four figures vanished, traversing the void in a flash, appearing near the Haotian Tower.
The elders, adorned in purple and yellow robes, scrutinized the Haotian Tower with expressions of bewilderment. Formerly arrogant and dismissive of Chen Nan, they had not paid it much heed until this moment.
Now, they perceived the tower's extraordinary nature, recognizing it as possessing a quality far surpassing any innate spiritual treasure they had ever encountered.
"The brat is not present. Why don't the two of us combine our strengths to seal this tower? We can force him to beg us later. Should he dare to defy us, this pagoda shall become our spoils," one suggested.
The elder clad in purple robes surveyed the Haotian Tower, then addressed the elder garbed in yellow.
A knowing glance passed between them, their expressions alight with a smug satisfaction.
Within the sturdy walls of the Haotian Tower, Chen Nan and his companions were engaged in boisterous laughter, the Black Feathered Chicken darting about with evident delight.
"Hahaha, Chen Nan, you just said you didn't want me to kill them! And now, they're plotting to snatch your Haotian Tower. Hahaha, it's absolutely hilarious!"
Ji Yueshen, perched atop the Black Feathered Chicken, grasped its neck, sending a flurry of dark feathers into the air.
The Black Feathered Chicken let out a pained squawk, desperately attempting to fight back, yet it stood no chance against Ji Yueshen’s formidable grip.
"Chen Nan, Chen Nan, hurry! Control your woman! The chicken is going to die, it's truly going to die!"
The Black Feathered Chicken was utterly bewildered by the relentless torment. In its utter desperation, it could only cry out to Chen Nan, aware that Ji Yueshen only heeded his words, as she frequently declared herself his woman.
"Foolish chicken, what nonsense are you spouting? She's not my woman yet; she's still just a young girl. Regardless, you'd best endure this for now."
Chen Nan knew he couldn't concede the point at this moment, lest Ji Yueshen exploited it to her full advantage.
Ji Yueshen cast a sharp glance at Chen Nan before resuming her torment of the Black Feathered Chicken, "Ah, since Chen Nan doesn't want me perhaps I'll just keep tormenting you instead. Yun Hua, come over and join the fun; it's far more amusing together than alone."
With a playful twist of her sky-tied braid and a twinkle in her eyes, Yun Hua quickly approached the Black Feathered Chicken, whose frame had grown substantial enough to comfortably accommodate both girls without feeling cramped.
"These feathers look quite promising and should be perfect for refining a divine artifact. I recently battled a Demon Beast in the Star Domain, and my divine artifact sustained some damage. With these Black Chicken feathers, I might just be able to refine a Fake Vermilion Bird Fan."
Yun Hua spoke as she commenced plucking the Black Feathered Chicken's abundant feathers.
Witnessing this, Chen Nan felt a shiver run down his spine. Blast it, they were truly ganging up on the poor chicken, yet after all, it was his mount.
"Ahem, you two... Yun Long, please control your sister; look at how she's bullying the Black Feathered Chicken." Chen Nan found himself genuinely speechless, caught between Ji Yueshen and Yun Hua, each more relentless than the other.
Refining a divine artifact necessitated the plucking of countless feathers. The Black Feathered Chicken, possessing the Devil Core, had the capacity for regrowth without hindering its cultivation. The Devil Core granted the Demon Clan an inexhaustible life force.
Nevertheless, this process inflicted immense mental anguish upon the Black Feathered Chicken. The pain was excruciating, as its feathers were intrinsically linked to its life force.
"Chen Nan, it's not that I don't wish to manage my sister. Although she is quite powerful, she's easily swayed by petty gains and is rather stingy. What enters her mouth and what catches her eye becomes hers, and if anyone dares to snatch it away from her, she'll readily fight anyone."
"Panting heavily..."
Outside the Haotian Tower, the two grand elders, one in purple and the other in yellow, were heaving for breath as they began the arduous task of moving the Haotian Tower.
Chen Nan felt a sense of helplessness wash over him, pondering if these two old fools weren't genuinely afraid of exhausting themselves to the brink of death.
