Chapter 35: They Have Cheats, But I Have More

One side was the scorching flames that came rushing in, while the other side was the roaring beasts.

The group was surrounded, and Shu Xiangdie, feeling weak and in pain, had already given up resisting, her eyes even losing their luster.

Although her life was not in danger, this Secret Realm was probably going to end here.

However, she still had one unresolved issue.

For some reason, the figure of Nie Chen appeared in her mind again.

Even though she tried to forget, she couldn’t shake off the feeling.

Just as she was about to be engulfed by the heat wave, an even hotter temperature suddenly erupted from behind her.

A majestic fire dragon appeared, its huge mouth open wide, swallowing the beasts whole.

Although the dragon had killed the beasts, the scorching flames were still closing in, about to engulf Shu Xiangdie’s delicate face.

But just in time, Shu Xiangdie felt her collar being grabbed.

Her entire body was lifted off the ground, completely out of control.

“Whoosh, whoosh”

After spinning around twice, she was thrown out with great force.

Although she had instantly distanced herself from the heat wave, Shu Xiangdie was unable to control her body, and she was about to crash to the ground.

She had to use all her strength to activate the Quiet Water Technique, using up the last bit of energy in her body.

The clear water touched the ground, and with the help of the rebound force, Shu Xiangdie’s body retreated several dozen meters before finally coming to a stop.

However, she still stumbled and rolled on the ground, her clothes covered in dust.

Being grabbed by the collar and thrown out like that, any woman would probably feel angry.

But Shu Xiangdie felt a flutter in her heart.

It was because this move was so familiar!

This rough and tumble technique, it was….

She looked up, and standing in front of her was Nie Chen.

For a moment, Shu Xiangdie’s eyes were dazed, her clear pupils seeming to shine with a different light.

Time seemed to have gone back to the arena in Changhan City.

The lights shone down, and in the midst of the crowd’s attention, she and Nie Chen locked eyes.

But this time, it was Nie Chen who had saved her life.

Why did this man always appear at the most critical moment?

She had already given up on completing Saintess Fanhua’s mission, but she had coincidentally met him again.

Twice in a row, Nie Chen’s appearance had completely changed her perception of men.

No, it was only her perception of Nie Chen that had changed.

In Shu Xiangdie’s eyes, other people were still nothing special.

Unconsciously, a warm feeling arose in Shu Xiangdie’s heart.

“Hey, are you okay?”

Nie Chen stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

Realizing she had lost her composure, Shu Xiangdie immediately felt embarrassed and angry, and she struggled to stand up, her body aching all over.

“Looks like you can stand up, that’s good.”

Seeing her stand up straight, Nie Chen immediately withdrew his hand.

Shu Xiangdie stumbled, almost falling over, but she managed to steady herself.

“Don’t you know how to treat a lady gently?”

Her delicate body was still swaying, and any man would probably not let go so easily.

Shu Xiangdie’s nose suddenly felt sour, and she felt that even a monk would not be as uninterested in women as Nie Chen.

“Treat a lady gently?”

Nie Chen paused for a moment, his eyes scanning Shu Xiangdie from head to toe.

Although the woman in front of him was indeed beautiful, she couldn’t compare to his wife, and he really couldn’t muster up any interest.

“Theory of the Uselessness of Dao Companions!

How did my book end up in your hands? Give it back to me!”

Shu Xiangdie suddenly saw the book in Nie Chen’s hand, and her heart skipped a beat.

She immediately tried to grab the book, but Nie Chen turned his body, hiding the book behind him.

Shu Xiangdie missed, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground.

Nie Chen said, “I saved your life, so as a thank you, you should give me this book, right?”

“No way! This is Empress Qingyue’s…”

Shu Xiangdie suddenly realized something was off.

“Theory of the Uselessness of Dao Companions” was indeed written by Empress Qingyue, and it contained many profound truths.

But its target audience was women, especially female cultivators.

Why would a man be interested in it?

No way!

Her past experiences flashed before her eyes, and Shu Xiangdie’s pupils constricted.

In an instant, everything seemed to become clear.

Not being interested in women, not understanding how to treat a lady gently, and sometimes emitting a charming aura.

Combining all these with Nie Chen’s handsome appearance….

No way!

“You, you’re not a man, are you?!”

Shu Xiangdie pointed at Nie Chen, her face full of shock.

Nie Chen: “????”

Shu Xiangdie hesitated for a moment, but then her reaction came back, and she stuttered, “That’s not possible… you… you have a wife?”

“Think what you want.”

Nie Chen used his hand as a knife, lightly tapping her head.

“I want this book because… I have a friend who wants to read it.”

“Really?”

Shu Xiangdie was still skeptical.

“Of course, and I also want to make a deal with you.”

Nie Chen waved the book in front of Shu Xiangdie.

“My friend doesn’t read much, but she’s very interested in this book’s content.

I hope you can explain the book’s content to my friend after we leave this place.

In exchange, I can take you to the main hall of the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum.”

“I…”

Shu Xiangdie hesitated.

She wanted to refuse.

But at this moment, every thought in her mind seemed to be urging her to agree.

What was she doing this for?

Was it to get the Inheritance of the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum?

Obviously not.

Was it to complete Saintess Fanhua’s mission?

But that didn’t seem right either.

Her mind was a mess, but Shu Xiangdie finally threw everything aside and nodded.

“Alright then.”

Nie Chen nodded in satisfaction.

The sky was clear, and the huge beast had already been killed.

The Shadow Demon King withdrew his Shadow Curtain, and Old Demon Yang Xi put away his painting.

The six people flew towards the main hall, each on guard against the others.

“Can you really get past them and enter the main hall?”

Shu Xiangdie asked, her voice laced with doubt.

“Don’t worry, I have a plan.”

Nie Chen smiled slightly.

Those few people who had entered the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum were indeed shameless cheaters.

But unfortunately, if they really compared it, his cheat was stronger.
