Chapter 1430 - 1430: Expert at Carrying Girls

"Look at you, being so careless, almost got pulled into the illusion realm again."

Brother Cheng hooked her arm with his left hand, while his right arm was already embracing her slender waist.

His face had an expression of seeking credit.

"When I say I'll take you with me, I definitely won't let you fall into danger again."

Ling was somewhat skeptical, suspecting he made this up as an excuse to take advantage of her.

"So, just now you sensed an illusion realm attacking me and pulled me away to avoid it?"

Jiang Cheng could evade attacks through the pulse and deep flow of the Great Array, naturally helping others to do the same.

"It's what I should do, no need to thank me!"

Upon hearing his admission, Ling felt it was a bit absurd.

However, it had indeed been tens of seconds since that illusion appeared, and she hadn't encountered another attack.

"Did we really successfully avoid it?"

"That's right."

"Then can you let go of me now?"

"Oh, I forgot."

Brother Cheng released the right hand holding her waist but didn't let go of her arm with his left hand.

"There will be lots of attacks afterward, so it's safer if I hold you while we go."

"You're really amazing." Ling pouted, yet she allowed him to lead her by the hand just like that.

"It's just a minor situation, not worth mentioning."

Jiang Cheng habitually showed off while deliberately walking hand in hand with her.

He was also quite curious about how long this girl could pretend to be weak; wouldn't that anger her?

Quite the schemer you are!

Does it have to reach the point where I kiss you for you to reveal your true self?

Outside, the Divine Monarchs and Celestial Emperors were busy picking up their jaws from the floor, as they had all dropped in shock.

This kid dared to pull that terrifying woman into his arms!

Has he lost his mind?

Playing such a trick with the War Emperor?

This is like driving full throttle to a dead end!

And the key is, the ever-difficult War Emperor didn't lose her temper this time.

Watching the two walk hand in hand, three Celestial Emperors exchanged glances, doubting their own sanity.

Why is she so lenient with Jiang Cheng?

The Emperor of Void whispered privately to the other two.

"Jiang Cheng... could he be her illegitimate child?"

Emperor Yuan was caught between laughter and tears.

"What man could catch her eye? An illegitimate child is impossible."

"Besides, with her temperament, if she did have descendants, she wouldn't hide them."

"Then he's a boytoy!"

Emperor Xiu speculated maliciously.

"That's the only way to explain why she's protecting Jiang Cheng, why she's so indulgent with him!"

He sneered insidiously, "Didn't expect that she'd be such a player."

Emperor of Void and Emperor Yuan cut the transmission, focusing on the nosetip and minding their own business, not responding to his insinuation at all.

If you've got the guts, say it to her face.

Inside, Ling holding hands with Jiang Cheng, had no choice but to believe in Jiang Cheng's abilities.

Following this person all the way, occasionally changing direction, she indeed didn't encounter an illusion attack again.

This Secret Realm, detached from both heaven and earth, looked like nothing was there.

Well, not exactly, occasionally she could see other immortals shrouded in yin clouds.

This made her feel utterly incredible.

Just how many surprises were hidden within this person?

Initially, seeing his Life and Death Sword Heart, able to roam freely in the Celestial Dao Sword Sea, she thought that was extraordinary enough.

Little did she know, that wasn't all of his power.

The immortals outside were all envious of her now.

"Who is this female immortal?"

"Able to receive Elder Jiang's care and be led by him."

"Such luck is unbelievable."

"Isn't this riding the coattails of a big shot?"

"I also want to be led by Elder Jiang!"

"You better not hold your breath..."

"It's just the first round, in the end, nobody can lead anyone anymore."

"Indeed, the second and third rounds test personal Dao fate and mentality, which no one can assist with."

"As for the fourth round, it tests genuine combat power, can't be clever either."

As they gossiped, Jiang Cheng had already taken several twists and turns, finding the Array Hub of this Secret Realm Array.

Here, it looked no different from the surrounding places.

But in Jiang Cheng's eyes, it was the point where countless grid-like threads converged.

And here, no light points approached.

Meaning it wouldn't suffer any yin cloud attacks, making it the only safe zone in this Secret Realm.

"Alright, let's rest here."

After speaking, he directly manifested two lounge chairs, lying down first.

Ling had no idea what he was trying to sell.

"Aren't you worried about illusion attacks if we stay put?"

"Rest assured."

Half-reclining, Brother Cheng leisurely picked up a wine cup.

"With me here, the illusion realms wouldn't dare to come close; they would avoid us like the plague."

Ling naturally didn't believe his nonsense.

However, afterward, sitting on the other lounge chair, she indeed wasn't attacked by illusions at all.

"How about now?"

Brother Cheng raised an eyebrow.

Ling knew he was waiting for praise.

But she was really astonished.

"Amazing, truly worthy of being the brilliant and mighty Brother Cheng, even able to scare off illusion attacks."

"With you, it seems like I don't have to do anything."

"Hahaha!"

Sect Leader Jiang patted his chest, "The expert in taking girls around isn't just an empty title!"

"This was just a fraction of my power, no need to get too excited."

"Wow!"

Ling's eyes sparkled, after all, she got used to praising this guy back in the Celestial Dao Sword Sea.

"What if you used all your power?"

"I never go all out."

Brother Cheng took a sip, laid back, and gazed at the Secret Realm sky, idly saying, "If I used fifty percent, it would probably suffice to take someone straight up to the Divine Monarch Rank."

Pfft!

Ling almost burst out laughing.

She thought highly of Jiang Cheng, but it wasn't possible to be clever in the next three rounds.

To take someone up to the Divine Monarch Rank as well?

"Can you help me become a Divine Monarch then?" she joked.

Her status and strength as the War Emperor were far superior to any Divine Monarch.

It was just to give Jiang Cheng a difficult challenge, to see how he would break this boasting later.

"Possible it is."

Brother Cheng looked her up and down before chuckling mischievously.

"However, it depends on your performance."

"What do you want?"

Ling's eyes curved like a crescent with a hint of deep meaning.

Is this guy trying to take advantage of me again?

Then she saw Jiang Cheng's hand making a suggestive gesture.

"At the very least, shouldn't there be some reward?"

"Reward?"

Before Ling could react, a long list of cultivation resources flew into her hand.

Just at first glance, she nearly burst into laughter.

"Five hundred bottles of Eighth-grade Imperial Pills?"

"Ten billion Top-grade Primordial Immortal Crystals?"

"An Eighth-Grade Dao Sword?"

"A Top-grade Secret Treasure?"

This guy actually treated the Celestial Palace's Divine Communication Assembly as a business, and even what's more, sold the Divine Monarch Rank, which he hadn't attained, as merchandise?

And lastly, he dared to make this deal with her?
