Chapter 17: The Hug from Empress

A completely unscrupulous and ruthless person had won the martial arts competition and snatched the Third Princess’s bracelet in front of everyone, and this news had spread like wildfire throughout half of Changhan City.

Many people felt a pang in their hearts and were filled with anger.

Third Princess Shu Xiangdie was the dream girl of many people in the Imperial Court, and now she had been robbed of her treasured item by a scoundrel and was even reduced to tears.

No man could tolerate this kind of behavior!

“Absolutely cannot let that scoundrel Nie Chen escape, catch him!”

“How dare you hurt the Third Princess’s feelings, I want you to pay with your life!”

Many experts who had not participated in the competition due to age restrictions were now burning with anger.

In the city, a strong aura suddenly emerged.

However, near the city gate, Nie Chen was leisurely enjoying the festive lights with Chu Qingyue.

Nie Chen bought a beautiful kite on the street, and when it flew near the Rainbow Nirvana Flower, it was instantly dyed with a layer of colorful colors.

The kite’s appearance was beautiful and elegant.

“I’m not interested in this kind of toy.”

Chu Qingyue tried to shift her gaze.

“I think it’s not that you’re not interested, but you don’t know how to fly a kite.”

Nie Chen smiled and turned the string, and the colorful kite soared in the wind.

In the dark night, the colorful lights were particularly eye-catching.

Looking at the sky, Chu Qingyue’s cold face revealed a hint of simple longing.

Nie Chen handed the kite string to her and smiled: “You try.”

“This is…”

Chu Qingyue took the string and tried to control the kite, but it was difficult.

The kite swayed and seemed to be falling.

“It should be flown like this.”

Nie Chen bent down and held her hand, and the kite stabilized.

Chu Qingyue’s face turned red: “I understand now!”

Nie Chen: “Understand what?”

Chu Qingyue bit her lip and said with a blush: “You’re just trying to get close to me, you’re not really interested in flying a kite!”

Nie Chen did not back down and smiled: “That’s right, I’m interested in you, who is as beautiful as the Empress, and I won’t find anyone like you in the whole world.”

“You!”

For a moment, Chu Qingyue couldn’t think of any words to refute.

She could only hold the string and let the kite block half of her face, and her voice was small: “Be careful, there are many people around, if they hear…”

“What if they hear, I’m just speaking from my heart.”

“Even so…”

The lights were shining, and the kite was dancing in the sky.

For a moment, Chu Qingyue had a thought that she had never had before.

Maybe, having someone to love and living a peaceful life wouldn’t be so bad.

…

“Catch him, it’s that scoundrel Nie Chen!”

“Finally found you, you little scamp!”

“How dare you hurt the Third Princess, I’ll make you pay!”

Just then, several voices rang out.

Many people’s eyes were drawn to the scene.

When they saw that it was indeed Nie Chen, hundreds of figures rushed towards the city gate.

Most of them were cultivators filled with anger, and many had the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Nie Chen seemed to ignore them and put his arm around Chu Qingyue’s shoulder.

Chu Qingyue was taken aback: “What are you doing?”

Nie Chen: “Hug me.”

“?”

“I haven’t learned how to fly, so I need you to carry me.”

“But…”

Nie Chen: “It’s okay, I’ll just hug you back later.”

“You’re just talking nonsense.”

Chu Qingyue pinched Nie Chen’s armpit.

But she had no choice but to hold Nie Chen’s waist and lift him up in a hug.

Then, she flew up into the air.

“You think you can escape by flying?”

Some of the cultivators had impressive skills and broke through the air to chase after them.

In an instant, the people surrounding them were like a big net, trapping Chu Qingyue and Nie Chen inside.

Like a flood, the people rushed forward.

Among them were not only many angry Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators but also several Opening Profound Realm experts.

This kind of formation was like a heavenly net, and no one believed that Nie Chen could escape.

“Catch him!”

A loud shout rang out, and the encirclement tightened.

With rolling anger, the cultivators took out their magical treasures and charged forward.

In this dense net, Chu Qingyue just turned around and glanced at them.

Her face was hidden behind a white veil, and the people couldn’t see her clearly.

But when her clear autumn eyes swept over them, suddenly, everyone’s body felt like it was frozen by extreme cold.

“This aura!”

Countless people widened their eyes, feeling their bodies trembling with fear.

In that instant, they felt like they had fallen into a deep abyss, swallowed by endless fear.

The boundless pressure was like a giant hand that could cover the sun and moon, gripping each person’s throat.

The terrifying pressure made them almost suffocate.

“Stand…”

A highly respected and powerful Opening Profound Realm expert wanted to shout.

But before he could finish.

A blood hole appeared in his abdomen, and he fell to the ground like a broken kite.

“Killed an Opening Profound Realm expert with one strike!”

At this moment, the people watching this unbelievable scene felt their bodies freeze, and they couldn’t move.

Combining the previous terrifying pressure, a wave of fear spread through everyone’s hearts.

The pressure that could shake the mountains and rivers had instantly killed an Opening Profound Realm expert!

The woman in white was definitely a problem!

“Who is this strong expert, and how can she have such terrifying power!”

The cultivators were shocked and retreated one by one.

Looking at the slender figure, no one dared to step forward.

Although they wanted to avenge the Third Princess, nothing was more important than their lives.

Even without fighting, they could clearly feel that if the woman in white wanted to, killing them would be as easy as eating and drinking!
