After taking a bath, Fang Chen planned to visit the Scripture Pavilion.
He wanted to check, against all hope, if there really wasn’t some peerless divine technique that could grant him a normal cultivation speed.
With three thousand great paths, there should be at least one that would take him in, right? He couldn’t possibly become a cultivation orphan, could he?
But just at that moment.
“Senior Brother Fang, are you there?”
Footsteps sounded from outside, followed by Ling Wan’er’s voice.
“What is it?”
Fang Chen was momentarily taken aback. As he spoke, he formed a hand seal and waved his hand, and the gate slowly split open from the middle, retracting into both sides, much like an automatic door.
The door creaked open, revealing two figures outside.
Ling Wan’er.
Jiang Ningyi.
And at this moment, both of their faces were filled with deep remorse.
Especially Ling Wan’er, whose head was slightly lowered, not daring to meet Fang Chen’s eyes.
“Senior Brother Fang, I’m here to apologize!”
Seeing the door open, Ling Wan’er said without hesitation, “Wan’er knows she was wrong, and shouldn’t have framed you. Please forgive me, Senior Brother!”
As she spoke, she took out a Storage Ring and offered it to Fang Chen.
Clearly, it contained the apology gift she had prepared.
Seeing this, Fang Chen instinctively stepped forward, a smile already curving his lips.
He was about to say it didn’t matter, it was just a small matter, and there was no need to worry about it.
Then, after some back-and-forth, he would say something like this was too embarrassing while accepting the ring…
But when Fang Chen noticed Jiang Ningyi standing behind Ling Wan’er, his face immediately stiffened, and he couldn’t help but take a step back.
No!
No!
If he forgave Ling Wan’er so magnanimously now, then his relationship with Jiang Ningyi would undoubtedly return to normal.
That was completely unacceptable!
Fang Chen immediately stopped in his tracks, his smile vanishing as he narrowed his eyes, tilted the corner of his mouth, and revealed a disdainful sneer. “Heh, Junior Sister Ling, are you mistaken about something?”
“You think you can apologize to me with just one ring?”
“What do you take me for?”
Fang Chen’s appearance immediately caused both women’s expressions to change.
“I…”
Ling Wan’er thought Fang Chen was furious and hurriedly said, “Senior Brother, please take this first. If you want anything else, I can go get it!”
With that, Ling Wan’er tried to step forward to hand it to him.
Unexpectedly, Fang Chen sharply shouted, “Get lost! Don’t come in!”
Ling Wan’er was startled, frozen in place, unsure what to do.
Why is Senior Brother Fang being so harsh?
Fang Chen’s gaze held three parts mockery, three parts indifference, and six parts disdain as he said, “Heh, you commit a wrong, and now you think you can dismiss me with one ring? No way!”
“Put nicely, you’re here to apologize. Put bluntly, you’re just trying to avoid punishment under the sect rules, casually tossing something at a beggar!”
“I bet there’s nothing good in that ring of yours!”
“You noble clan disciples are always so high and mighty, utterly disgusting!”
“Get out! You’re not worthy of entering!”
Ling Wan’er’s face froze, followed immediately by anger welling up uncontrollably in her eyes.
She had carefully selected and placed what she considered the most valuable things inside.
She never expected Fang Chen to say such things.
It was impossible for her not to be angry!
At this point, Jiang Ningyi stepped forward, shielding Wan’er. “Senior Brother Fang, the resources in Wan’er’s Storage Ring are all precious items. Most are rare treasures from the Danran Sect’s inner mountain, Chi Zun Mountain, that even the other peaks within the sect don’t possess.”
“Give me a break! Who would believe that? You’re birds of a feather with her. What value do your words have?”
Fang Chen sneered disdainfully.
His attitude and tone caused Jiang Ningyi’s pretty face to pale, her heart aching intensely.
Hearing Jiang Ningyi being insulted by Fang Chen for her sake, Ling Wan’er could no longer endure it. She stepped forward and said, “Fang Chen, don’t go too far!”
“Yes, I was wrong, and I misunderstood you. So kill me or cut me, do as you please!”
“Cough-Senior Sister did nothing wrong. She even desperately explained on your behalf. What right do you have to accuse her like this?”
“Involving the innocent and not distinguishing right from wrong, aren’t you going too far?”
“Senior Sister, let’s go!”
After saying that, Ling Wan’er turned and led Jiang Ningyi away.
Jiang Ningyi didn’t resist, only giving Fang Chen a disappointed look before turning to leave.
However patient her temper, she couldn’t accept Fang Chen’s baseless accusations.
Still, her heart felt bitter.
Her goodwill had ultimately been misplaced!
Witnessing this, Fang Chen was ecstatic inside.
Great!
Ling Wan’er, you did splendidly!
You’re much more useful than your Xiao Qing brother!
You’ve pulled two people out of misery at once!
You’re truly a good person!
If Xiao Qing ever dares to establish a harem in the future, I’ll be the first to stand up against him.
Just as Fang Chen was rejoicing internally and the two women were gradually walking further away, suddenly, a purple flash of light streaked across the sky. Before anyone could react, it transformed into a bowl-shaped transparent shield that descended, enveloping Fang Chen’s mansion. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Simultaneously, a deep, hoarse voice rang out, carrying thick killing intent: “Idiot who ruins things, why didn’t you let Jiang Ningyi come in?”
“Truly damned!”
As the words fell-
A massive creature had somehow appeared behind Fang Chen. Its body was a mix of black and white, with thick limbs and an immensely tall, imposing frame. Its aura was majestic and peerless, seemingly containing infinite power, its tail whip-like and slightly swaying, and its claw tips gleaming with cold light as they extended from its toes…
A Demon Beast Tiger!
Fang Chen’s pupils contracted, and he roared inwardly.
What the hell?
Where did this sudden giant tiger come from?
When did it appear?
In the next moment, Fang Chen felt a surge of chill rise from his heart, spreading throughout his body. Immediately following that, pain actually erupted from his back. His body tensed, and he instinctively lunged forward, trying to dodge…
But it was too late.
BOOM!
The tiger’s Foundation Establishment fifth-grade violent aura erupted with a roar, an immense force sweeping across the entire area. The resulting gale even ravaged the open ground outside the mansion…
In that instant, yellow sand filled the air. The two women turned in astonishment. Amidst the billowing dust, they only saw Fang Chen spitting blood as he fell forward, with the black-and-white Demon Beast Tiger standing behind him.
“Senior Brother Fang!”
Seeing this, Jiang Ningyi let out a panicked, sorrowful cry. Without thinking, she formed hand seals, and a flying sword instantly shot out from its scabbard, trailing a streak of chilling cold light.
This sword, though utterly silent and soundless, made those who saw it feel horrified, as if something terrifying was being born…
In the next second, the flying sword shot straight at the black-and-white Demon Beast Tiger.
Seeing this, the black-and-white tiger just sneered. “Useless!”
Screech!
A sharp, piercing sound immediately erupted from the sword’s tip.
At that moment, Jiang Ningyi looked dazed. “How is this possible?!”
She saw that the flying sword, having shot out in an instant, had been directly blocked by the transparent shield.
Jiang Ningyi’s heart grew anxious.
A Foundation Establishment fifth-grade Demon Beast Tiger’s deployed Formation shouldn’t be this formidable, should it?!
Unwilling to give up, she tried again to break the Formation with her flying sword and even used several extremely powerful and damaging talismans. But after several explosions, the Formation remained as solid as a rock, completely unmoving. All her efforts were futile!
Finally, Jiang Ningyi even wanted to charge the Formation herself, but once this Formation was activated, anyone who wasn’t the controller couldn’t enter or exit.
Her pretty face stiffened.
How could this be?
“Heh! You think you can break the Yin-Yang Furnace? Fool!”
The black-and-white tiger sneered.
At these words, Jiang Ningyi’s face instantly paled.
Yin-Yang Furnace?!
Ling Wan’er, however, angrily shouted, “Yin-Yang Furnace?! Where did you get that from?”
This was one of their Danran Sect’s signature Formations, specifically used for refining demon beasts.
How could it have been taken by this inexplicably appearing Demon Beast Tiger?
