Chapter 4033: The Holy Maiden’s Heart (Part 2)
Chapter 4033: Chapter 4033: The Holy Maiden’s Heart (Part 2)
The middle-aged man glanced at Ye Chen and his companion with his Seven-Colored Dragon Eyes, his expression indifferent: "We’ve obtained the sacred artifact; there are other important matters to attend to. We don’t have time to waste here with you."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Dragon Venerate couldn’t help but show a look of joy. Since the powerful figures of the Ancestral Dragon Temple did not intend to stop him, with his strength, he could easily destroy Ye Chen and the blood dragon, who were already at the end of their rope.
At this moment, the Grand Dragon Venerate looked at Ye Chen and his companion, revealing a sinister smile, "Hmph, you two bastards, a traitor and a lunatic, both of you can die now!"
The Grand Dragon Venerate mobilized all his power; the Netherworld Law surged in the void, converging in his dragon claw, with violent power fluctuations spilling out, as if to suppress All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds with one claw.
Watching the Grand Dragon Venerate preparing to attack, Ye Chen and the blood dragon’s expressions became serious. Although it was a relief that the Ancestral Dragon Temple’s people were not intervening, facing the Grand Dragon Venerate, they still weren’t confident they could survive. They had to give their all.
At this moment, the Grand Dragon Venerate’s power was frantically gathering to its peak, ready to crush Ye Chen and his companion into pulp to vent his anger, but suddenly, he heard Ye Luo’er’s voice stopping him.
"Wait!"
The light call from Ye Luo’er made the Grand Dragon Venerate’s face look unsightly. As a holy maiden, her command could not be defied by the Grand Dragon Venerate, yet his attack was at its peak, forcing him to disperse it suddenly, causing backlash and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The Grand Dragon Venerate had already been injured by the Blood Moon Slaughter Sky Slash while confronting Ye Chen and his companion. Now suffering backlash made his aura wither instantly, and the whole dragon appeared aged by endless years, looking at Ye Luo’er helplessly.
"Your Highness Holy Daughter, what is it?"
Seeing the Grand Dragon Venerate in such a state, Ye Luo’er showed no sign of apology; instead, like other strong figures of the Ancestral Dragon Temple, an odd smile appeared in her eyes.
Obviously, everyone found the Grand Dragon Venerate’s misfortune extremely amusing.
At the same time, all the experts of the Ancestral Dragon Temple, including the middle-aged man with Seven-Colored Dragon Eyes, looked curious towards Ye Luo’er.
Ye Luo’er, the holy maiden known for her indifference in the Ancestral Dragon Temple, showed interest in the affairs of Dragon Valley, arousing their curiosity.
"Holy Maiden, is there a problem?"
The middle-aged man with Seven-Colored Holy Eyes looked at Ye Luo’er, questioning her with curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo’er remained silent, locking her gaze onto Ye Chen,
Feeling Ye Luo’er’s gaze, Ye Chen looked at her, his pupils contracting, for within Ye Luo’er’s eyes was a chilling murderous intent.
Ye Luo’er recognized Ye Chen; this face, this name engraved in her palm, was unforgettable. Ye Chen was the person she most despised, she wanted nothing more than to eradicate Ye Chen, the annoying guy who often disrupted her plans.
At this moment, Ye Luo’er curved her lips into a mysterious arc, hoping to have the Ancestral Dragon Temple’s people play along, tormenting Ye Chen and the blood dragon until they wished for death before ending their lives herself.
"Uncle Tian Hao."
Ye Luo’er looked at the middle-aged man with Seven-Colored Holy Eyes beside her and spoke.
"I am here," the middle-aged man immediately bowed in respect upon hearing her.
"These two guys..."
Ye Luo’er flashed an evil light in her eyes, stretching out her fingers, "I want..."
Ye Luo’er intended to say, to have Tian Hao capture Ye Chen and his companion, publicly abolish their cultivation, and make them kneel eternally in the Ancestral Dragon Temple, scrubbing the temple’s tiles with their knees. Yet at this moment, a voice abruptly echoed in her heart.
"You cannot do this!"
This voice was filled with anger, even muddling Ye Luo’er’s mind, making her feel dazed.
"This is Brother Ye Chen; I absolutely forbid you to harm him!"
At this moment, this voice echoed in her mind, and a strong willpower broke through everything, crashing through the seal and occupying Ye Luo’er’s body.
This willpower was Ye Luo’er’s sealed memory. Looking at Ye Chen, her eyes shone with boundless tenderness.
Aware of the emotional shift in Ye Luo’er’s gaze, Ye Chen’s eyes contracted; he realized Ye Luo’er’s consciousness had returned.
"Luo’er!"
Ye Chen was instantly excited, unable to help but extend his hand, wanting to say something to Ye Luo’er, but upon seeing her eyes, he closed his mouth.
For Ye Luo’er’s eyes were restraining, telling Ye Chen it wasn’t the time for this conversation. Ye Chen guessed that Ye Luo’er had regained her memory, but it was temporary; now wasn’t the time for old affections. Ye Luo’er had more important things to do.
Ye Chen’s guess was correct; Ye Luo’er only gave Ye Chen a lingering glance before urgently turning to the middle-aged man known as Uncle Tian Hao with Seven-Colored Holy Eyes.
"Uncle Tian Hao, I want these two people safe and sound."
Ye Luo’er suddenly said, her attitude and tone changed drastically from before, even making Tian Hao furrow his brows, giving Ye Luo’er a deep look, seemingly realizing something, yet refraining from saying more, just nodding slightly in understanding.
Then, Ye Luo’er looked towards the Grand Dragon Venerate, speaking coldly, "You cannot touch these two people. If anything happens to them, you will fall from the world."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Dragon Venerate’s expression froze, his face turning red like liver, a color of frustration. Earlier, when narrating events, Ye Luo’er showed no response.
Yet, when the Grand Dragon Venerate prepared to kill Ye Chen and his companion, Ye Luo’er interjected, causing backlash to worsen his injuries, then outright threatened him not to harm Ye Chen and his companion. Though Ye Luo’er was the Ancestral Dragon Temple’s holy maiden, even the clay figurine-like Grand Dragon Venerate couldn’t suppress his anger.
"Holy Maiden, this!"
The Grand Dragon Venerate couldn’t help but show anger in his eyes, only to sense the mighty dragon might released by the twelve Supreme Strong Experts by Ye Luo’er’s side, making his face unsightly.
"I understand."
The Grand Dragon Venerate slumped instantly; Ye Luo’er’s identity and status were too noble, surrounded by so many people, he truly had no right to show anger towards Ye Luo’er. Doing so would be suicidal.
"I can comply with you, but I have a condition, which is to make this disrespectful, rebellious blood dragon kneel before me and apologize. Then, we’ll settle this matter."
The Grand Dragon Venerate spoke solemnly, though still feeling extremely aggrieved. He wanted no apologies; he genuinely desired the lives of Ye Chen and the blood dragon.
After all, the Grand Dragon Venerate clearly saw the overwhelming Karma behind Ye Chen; offending this man and dragon today promised infinite trouble, reducing danger only by killing them, yet he now lacked the opportunity.
