Chapter 2479 - 2169: I Don’t Think You Can Leave Me Now

After entering the vortex, it was total darkness in front of them, and they couldn’t see anything.

And their bodies were deprived of all five senses, leaving only consciousness.

Fortunately, this feeling didn’t last too long, and in the next moment, light appeared before their eyes.

The location they were teleported to was on a mountain cliff. Xue Linglong stood at the top of the cliff, looking at the endless forest in the distance, and felt the thick spiritual evil in the air. For a moment, Xue Linglong couldn’t react.

The spiritual evil concentration in this Secret Realm is actually so high, it’s probably even higher than that of the main altar of the Demon Sect.

Xue Linglong hadn’t come to her senses yet, but she felt the power within her rampage uncontrollably. She hurriedly sat cross-legged, trying to calm the restless force, and soon a violent power shot straight into the sky from her head, and her Realm broke through to the Early Heaven Realm.

Xue Linglong was overjoyed, not expecting just entering this ruin would result in her breakthrough.

That’s great, now she doesn’t have to worry about Wu Junwan attacking her.

She didn’t know Wu Junwan’s little schemes, but being in the Prince’s Mansion, the thing she feared most was Wu Junwan taking the opportunity of Lu Chen’s absence to suddenly harm her.

After all, the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty and the Demon Sect are mortal enemies.

Now that she’s broken through to the Late-stage Heavenly Realm, even if Lu Chen isn’t at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, she doesn’t have to worry about Wu Junwan attacking her.

Xue Linglong took a deep breath, calmed her inner turmoil, opened her beautiful eyes, looked up at Lu Chen in front of her, and asked, "Even if you didn’t bring me into this world, would I not have been able to enter it and without getting harmed?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "You’re not stupid. Indeed, you could have entered this world without me."

Upon getting Lu Chen’s affirmative response, Xue Linglong felt very upset inside.

It really was just as she thought. Her body could completely withstand the force eroding the entrance to the ruins. She really just delivered herself to Lu Chen to be his plaything.

Xue Linglong quickly stopped herself from thinking further. If she continued, she feared she might start having suicidal thoughts.

Oh well, wasn’t it just being played with by this man for some time?

No matter, after all she didn’t really suffer a loss.

Originally, the people of their Demon Sect weren’t good people anyway, and matters between men and women were routine for the disciples of the Demon Sect.

What she couldn’t let go of, however, was that her Primordial Yin was taken by Lu Chen, and because of her Furnace Ding Constitution, she would need to frequently engage in matters between men and women with Lu Chen in the future.

And Lu Chen, with such extraordinary talent, having already broken through to the Late-stage King Realm, if given more time to grow, could very likely reach the Emperor Realm, or even the Saint Realm.

At that time, the Demon Sect would have no way to deal with Lu Chen.

And for her to engage in matters between men and women with Lu Chen, she would need to stay by Lu Chen’s side.

Returning to the Demon Sect became less likely, she and Lu Chen were already tied together unless the restrictions of the Border Wilderness suddenly disappeared, allowing the Elders of the Demon Sect to catch Lu Chen back to the Demon Sect. Otherwise, she’d be a traitor of the Demon Sect, spending her life following Lu Chen.

Xue Linglong suddenly fell into a silent moment.

Lu Chen squatted down, gazing into her eyes, teasingly asked, "What? Regret making a deal with me?"

Xue Linglong snapped back, looking resentfully at Lu Chen, "What’s the use of regretting now? Now I’m already your darling’s person."

Lu Chen laughed, "Alright, weren’t you going to look for the Ancient Inheritance? This world is vast, you should hurry and explore, I’ll head back to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

Xue Linglong snapped back, and realized thinking about those things was pointless, what’s done is done, so she could only take things one step at a time, the urgent matter was still to see if the Ancient Inheritance was still around.

Thinking of this, Xue Linglong asked, "Darling, if you don’t come with me to search, aren’t you afraid I’ll run away after taking the Ancient Inheritance?"

Lu Chen said, "I already said, there’s no so-called Ancient Inheritance here, and besides, I don’t think you can leave me now."

Saying this, Lu Chen’s face showed a playful smile, his gaze intensely looking into Xue Linglong’s eyes, as if he had completely seen through her.

Seeing Lu Chen looking at her like this, Xue Linglong’s heart trembled slightly, did Lu Chen already know about her possessing the Furnace Ding Constitution?

Lu Chen didn’t continue teasing Xue Linglong, he then stood up and said, "The spiritual evil here is dense, you better stabilize your Realm."

With those words, Lu Chen leaped into the air, his body turning into a streak of light, leaving the cliff top, leaving Xue Linglong sitting alone on the cliff.

Once Lu Chen’s figure completely disappeared, Xue Linglong then rose from the ground.

She turned her head and looked around, then flew into the air, randomly picked a direction, and flew in that direction.

In the following days, Xue Linglong was exploring within the Ancient Ruins.

But like Wu Junwan, she found nothing in the ruins, only some herbs.

This further confirmed her suspicion that the Inheritance had fallen into Lu Chen’s hands or someone else’s hands, especially Wu Junwan.

Since Lu Chen said the Inheritance is no longer in the ruins, she didn’t need to continue searching.

So she proactively left the Ancient Ruins, returned to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, planning to look for Wu Junwan, to test the waters and see if the Inheritance had fallen into Wu Junwan’s hands.

Meanwhile, in Wu Junwan’s courtyard.

Wu Junwan was beside the crib, holding a rattle drum, playing with Lu Feng.

A maid hurriedly entered the courtyard, came to Wu Junwan, and bowed, saying, "Lady, Lady Xue is back."

Upon hearing this, Wu Junwan immediately put down the rattle drum, preparing to find Xue Linglong to probe and see if Xue Linglong had discovered anything in the Ancient Ruins.

The day after Xue Linglong went to the Ancient Ruins with Lu Chen, Wu Junwan knew about it.

She had people monitoring Xue Linglong’s courtyard, so news of Xue Linglong’s return was brought to her by a maid the first moment.

She found nothing in the Ancient Ruins, but she didn’t believe that there was nothing there at all.

Either the things inside were all taken by Lu Chen, or she simply didn’t discover them.

Just because she couldn’t find the treasures in the ruins, didn’t mean others couldn’t, maybe Xue Linglong discovered something.

Of course, she also knew that even if Xue Linglong got something from inside, she wouldn’t tell her, so she only wanted to probe a bit.

If Xue Linglong really got any treasure from inside, there would be times when she would let something slip.

But just as Wu Junwan stood up, preparing to head to Xue Linglong’s courtyard, Xue Linglong’s figure suddenly appeared in her courtyard.

Seeing Wu Junwan, Xue Linglong sarcastically said, "The noble Princess of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty is actually giving birth and perpetuating descendants for a man from the Border Wilderness, even playing with kids. Lady Wu, you’re becoming more and more like a common woman."

After hearing Xue Linglong’s words, Wu Junwan wasn’t angry. She said with an indifferent look, "Is your situation any better? The noble Saintess of the Demon Sect has still become someone else’s plaything."
