“Heavenly Mansion Princess!” Ye Chu stared blankly at the woman before him with a charming smile, incomparably beautiful, his heart full of shock. Ye Chu knew Zhong Wei had an extraordinary background, but originally thought she was merely a holy maiden of a holy land. Yet she was actually the princess of the Heavenly Mansion.
Such an identity was enough to shock the world. Most importantly, as the Heavenly Mansion Princess, she had a fiance. Then what kind of noble person was her fiance?
“Hey! Should I be hugging your thigh?” After the shock, the corner of Ye Chu’s mouth curved upward. Looking at this incomparably beautiful woman, the corner of his mouth carried a bit of teasing.
“It seems so!” Zhong Wei broke into a smile. This smile could topple a city, possessing an absolutely sweet grace. Her gaze looked at Ye Chu with a smile.
“Then why don’t you stretch out your thigh and let me hug it!” Ye Chu genuinely wanted to pounce toward Zhong Wei’s pair of long and straight legs.
Zhong Wei’s face was crimson, intoxicating to the heart. With a mix of shyness and anger, she turned sideways.
Seeing Zhong Wei avoid him, Ye Chu shrugged and said, “You said you would let me hug your thigh. Turns out that was also a lie.”
“Gege…” Ye Chu’s aggrieved appearance made Zhong Wei giggle. “Stop pretending. Hey, do you really have no thoughts about my identity?”
“Yes! How could I not!” Ye Chu said to Zhong Wei. “I was thinking, if I kidnapped you, could I exchange you for a basket full of treasures.”
“…”
Zhong Wei turned her head and ignored Ye Chu, thinking that this fellow never said anything good from his mouth. But after a moment of silence, Zhong Wei said to Ye Chu again, “With your intelligence, you should understand what I mean by telling you these things.”
Ye Chu smiled and said, “So what? I have always acted according to my heart, with no other concerns.”
“I also told you, he is a person with a very strong desire for control.” Zhong Wei said faintly again.
“What does he have to do with me?” Ye Chu smiled. “I will not save you because you are the Heavenly Mansion Princess, nor will I not save you because you are the Heavenly Mansion Princess.”
Ye Chu’s words made Zhong Wei’s gaze burn brightly. She looked at Ye Chu for a long time and said, “You may have a peerless great enemy in the future.”
Ye Chu understood Zhong Wei’s meaning. People who dared to have designs on the Heavenly Mansion Princess definitely had great forces behind them, perhaps even one of the other absolute powers. If Ye Chu ruined their plans, he would definitely become a thorn in these people’s eyes.
He also knew that people like Kuang Feng were merely some chess pieces. If they knew she was the Heavenly Mansion Princess, they would not dare to do such things even if beaten to death.
But they did not know. They only knew her identity in the world, the most noble being the niece of the Artifact Sect. Although the Artifact Sect was terrifying, it was not impossible to provoke. But the Heavenly Mansion was different. Provoking the Heavenly Mansion, there would truly be nowhere to hide.
At this moment, Zhong Wei telling him these things was to allow Ye Chu to extricate himself. At this moment, Ye Chu could still leave in time. Zhong Wei looked at Ye Chu with burning eyes, waiting for Ye Chu’s answer. She did not want to use someone who had taken a punch for her.
Those clear eyes fell upon Ye Chu, waiting for Ye Chu’s answer. Her hand tightly gripped the corner of her clothing. She just stood there, her body long and straight, her curves graceful.
“Hey! If you keep looking at me like this, I will think you are in love with me.” Ye Chu said to Zhong Wei. “What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and leave, or you will be stupidly caught by people!”
One sentence from Ye Chu made Zhong Wei’s tightly gripping hand relax. The corner of her mouth curved upward slightly. She did not know why, but Zhong Wei felt exceptionally happy. This was a feeling she had never had before.
“Wait for me! Why are you still so annoying? You have no gentlemanly manners at all, making a girl run behind you.” Zhong Wei chased after him very dissatisfied, walking side by side with Ye Chu.
“I already told you long ago I am not a gentleman!” Ye Chu stared at Zhong Wei and said.
“You are really annoying!” Although Zhong Wei’s eyes showed disgust, her steps were not slow. She fell in beside Ye Chu, walking side by side with him.
“Thanks for the hate. Many people say that!” Ye Chu nodded. “After all, only mediocre people are not envied and cursed!”
“…”
Just as Ye Chu and Zhong Wei had anticipated, news of Ye Chu and Zhong Wei spread from the mouths of the Kuang Feng Group. Instantly, countless strong experts rushed toward this direction.
Those cultivators who had been deceived by Ye Chu into taking the Wilderness Canyon route also rushed toward this direction.
More and more people came. They searched for Ye Chu and Zhong Wei like a carpet. The Wilderness was originally a land of bandits. They did not care about the dignity of the Artifact Sect. They only thought of capturing Zhong Wei and obtaining shocking benefits.
Ye Chu and Zhong Wei tried their best to avoid the capture of cultivators one by one, but too many people were rushing to this side. In the end, Ye Chu and Zhong Wei were still found.
Fortunately, after several days of recuperation, Ye Chu’s injuries had completely recovered. Ye Chu led Zhong Wei, fighting and killing all the way.
All along the way, Ye Chu did not know how many cultivators he had encountered. Holding Zhong Wei’s hand, he fought bloody battles all the way.
People die for wealth, birds die for food. Although these people knew of Ye Chu’s strength, all along the way, there were still constantly people laying various traps, assembling various great arrays to besiege and kill Ye Chu.
Ye Chu’s strength was formidable. Few people could compare to him. But even so, he could not withstand the numbers. These people constantly used schemes and tricks. Occasionally Ye Chu would also fall for them.
All along this road of killing, Ye Chu’s face and body were covered in bloodstains. His whole body emitted a cold sword aura. His entire body carried terrifying killing intent. Zhong Wei beside Ye Chu could clearly feel this.
The Wilderness was a gathering place of bandits. They all used their lives to make fortune. They would not retreat because of Ye Chu’s strength. Instead, it attracted desperadoes to come.
These people constantly employed schemes, making Ye Chu feel increasingly strained. If Ye Chu were alone it would be fine, but he was still bringing Zhong Wei along. Zhong Wei had the monarch realm in name only, but found it difficult to kill enemies.
Another bandit group laid down a great array, set traps, and trapped Ye Chu within. They used various methods trying to shoot and kill Ye Chu. Ye Chu used powerful force to forcibly blast open the great array, struggle free from their traps, and charge into these people. Every time his fist swung, it was like a beast’s roar. The power was so strong it made people’s hearts tremble.
Every fist he blasted out, the green light trembled unceasingly. Ye Chu’s fists became increasingly overbearing. The artistic conception was full and rich, blasting cultivators’ bodies to burst one by one.
Zhong Wei was at the side. Occasionally she was also stained with the blood of bursting cultivators. She was tightly held by one of Ye Chu’s hands. Ye Chu’s hand was very warm and tight, making her feel secure even in such a bloody battle.
Watching another king being blasted to death by Ye Chu with one punch, Zhong Wei’s beautiful eyes could not help but look toward the cold Ye Chu. All along this road of bloody battle, Ye Chu’s fist movements became increasingly terrifying. Compared to before, it was indescribable. The green light flashing on Ye Chu’s fists also became colder and sharper.
At this moment, Ye Chu’s fists truly had an unstoppable, invincible sharpness.
