Chapter 2824: Chapter 2798: Mo Xue Ming’s Surveillance? (One More Update)
At this moment, Qu Tan’er was stunned.
For many years, she had been supremely confident in herself.
In her mind, outside of Netherworld Hall and the Divine Kingdom, no one could resist her allure.
She believed that this plan was absolutely foolproof.
This man named Ye Chen was likely already captivated.
However, she never expected to be rejected.
"Ye Lingtian, let’s go."
Ye Chen spoke gently.
How could Qu Tan’er let Ye Chen leave, if the mission failed, she might not even have the right to live!
"Hmph... "
Suddenly, blood trickled from Qu Tan’er’s mouth, her face turned extremely pale, as if she was forcibly suppressing her wounds, her delicate body was unstable, staggering, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, falling into Ye Chen’s embrace.
Seeing that she was about to become a tender embrace, Ye Chen’s lips curled subtly.
He did not utilize any spiritual energy.
His hands instinctively blocked her.
He thought to himself: "Since you want to play, I’ll play along with you. I want to see who will lose out."
In the next moment, his hands touched something soft.
Extremely soft.
"You!"
A flash of murderous intent crossed Qu Tan’er’s eyes, spiritual energy surged instantly, maintaining distance from Ye Chen.
The anger in her eyes flickered and disappeared!
She even wanted to kill Ye Chen at that moment!
But remembering her foster father’s instruction, she could only suppress all her emotions!
"Qu Tan’er, I have some pills here, take them quickly and heal yourself."
"Want me to feed you?"
Ye Chen said with a smile.
Qu Tan’er grasped her five fingers tightly, and the pills appeared in her hand: "No need to trouble Young Master Ye, I can do it myself."
"Also... thank you, Young Master. Cough, cough... Just call me Tan’er."
Then, she showed utmost trust in Ye Chen, swallowing the pills directly without even looking.
At this moment, Ye Lingtian retrieved two intact Qiankun Rings and handed them to Ye Chen.
"Hall Master, these two storage rings might be the biggest gain."
A late-stage Chaos Realm expert’s wealth is extremely abundant; even for Ye Chen, he couldn’t ignore their "heritage".
"Hall Master, congratulations on your breakthrough, your power has greatly increased!"
Ye Lingtian sensed the fluctuation in Ye Chen’s aura and joyfully said.
Ye Chen just smiled faintly, without much delight.
"Hall Master, what shall we do next?" Ye Lingtian asked.
Qu Tan’er had entered a meditation state, healing herself, and Ye Lingtian implied what to do with the rescued Qu Tan’er next.
Ye Chen just glanced at Qu Tan’er, then summoned a flying ship, his spatial energy broke through the chaos.
The two soared into the flying ship, and Ye Chen ignored Qu Tan’er.
To Ye Chen’s surprise, Qu Tan’er unexpectedly also flashed into the flying ship.
"Miss, what do you mean by this?" Ye Chen asked with crossed arms, showing interest.
"Young Master, Tan’er is severely injured and requires days of rest to recover. However, Netherworld Hall is relentlessly pursuing me... Young Master, having been a benefactor this far, could you allow me to travel with you?"
Qu Tan’er’s pleading tone made it hard for Ye Chen to refuse.
"Do you trust my Hall Master so much?" Ye Lingtian sensed something odd, interrupting and asking.
He felt that Qu Tan’er seemed to covet the Hall Master.
"I naturally trust Young Master’s character. Besides, Tan’er said she would repay the life-saving grace, how could she just leave like this?" Qu Tan’er answered.
"Whichever, this place is not suitable to linger, let’s go."
Ye Chen operated his spatial energy, the flying ship entered the Black Hole, nobody obstructed him, letting him sigh in relief.
Originally, Ye Chen planned to return to Divine Extreme Sect, but considering Qu Tan’er as a ticking time bomb, he let Ye Lingtian steer the flying ship around the Seventh Divine Nation.
Two hours later, Qu Tan’er knocked at Ye Chen’s room.
At that moment, she was still unsteady in aura, fluctuating between strong and weak, yet not eager to heal, prioritizing finding Ye Chen after stabilizing her wounds.
"Young Master, why were you near Netherworld Hall? Netherworld Hall is a kill-without-batting-an-eye organization, highly feared by the Seventh Divine Nation and the other Six Divine Kingdoms."
"I also heard that Netherworld Hall has extended its claws to the Heavenly Dao Palace."
Qu Tan’er knowingly asked.
Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Then why were you pursued by Netherworld Hall?"
Qu Tan’er hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Young Master isn’t aware, I was originally a disciple of Han Yan Sect, Han Yan Sect was slaughtered by Netherworld Hall a hundred years ago, only I survived. I cultivated to Chaos Realm with the sole intent of revenge, never expected Netherworld Hall’s power to be so terrifying."
"Afterwards, the events unfolded as the Young Master knows."
Ye Chen and Qu Tan’er conversed for the time it takes for tea, subtly indicating his need for meditation.
Qu Tan’er did not persistently cling, saying farewell as she exited the room.
"Ye Chen! I don’t believe you can always act like such a gentleman! Hmph, now I am indeed a bit interested in you." Qu Tan’er thought to herself.
Ye Chen single-handedly slew two late-stage Chaos Realm powerhouses, which immensely shocked Qu Tan’er!
If she fully activated her bloodline, with her late-stage Chaos Realm cultivation, she could also unleash greater combat strength. She was confident her strength wasn’t weaker than Ye Chen’s, but keep in mind, Ye Chen is currently only at the Disaster Slaying Supreme Emperor realm.
This means Ye Chen’s potential far surpasses hers, indeed, as Mo Xue Ming said, he is a true monstrous talent.
This ignited Qu Tan’er’s competitive spirit; capturing Ye Chen’s heart was more challenging and exciting than defeating him!
Three hours later, Qu Tan’er actively sought Ye Chen again, tasting fragrant tea, and the two were having harmonious conversations.
After a day had passed, Qu Tan’er’s injuries greatly improved, and her relationship with Ye Chen was no longer estranged.
Ye Chen even considered that if he returned to Huaxia, he might win an Oscar for Best Actor without any issues.
The only doubt he had was what purpose Qu Tan’er actually pursued.
To kill him?
Or act as Mo Xue Ming’s surveillance?
While talking, Qu Tan’er revealed she knew some core secrets of the Netherworld Hall too, hence they dispatched so many elders to silence her.
Although Ye Chen was curious about her so-called "core secrets", he did not inquire proactively, but Qu Tan’er showed extreme interest in matters related to Ye Chen.
That night, just after Qu Tan’er left the room, Ye Chen sent a thought into the Samsara Graveyard, finding Elder Cang.
"Elder Cang, you must have noticed Qu Tan’er’s issue, right? I originally thought she might assassinate me, but all this time, there’s been no action." Ye Chen said.
Elder Cang coldly smiled at Ye Chen, "You’re not completely foolish yet, I thought you’d be seduced by this woman’s beauty, and in just a few days, your soul would be snatched by her!"
Since Qu Tan’er appeared, Elder Cang hadn’t proactively contacted Ye Chen once.
"Elder Cang is joking, I am not that kind of person..."
