Chapter 47: Third Princess: Could it be that he really has feelings for me?

The moment Nie Chen emerged from the flames, Di Puze let out a cold snort.

“I thought it was some kind of expert from another side, trying to be a hero and save the beauty, but it turns out it’s just a half-baked cultivator who has just entered the Opening Profound realm.”

As he spoke, Di Puze didn’t let his guard down.

The aura emanating from Nie Chen’s body was too strange, and it didn’t seem like something a cultivator who had just entered the Opening Profound realm could emit.

Di Puze exchanged a glance with the two people behind him.

In an instant, the three of them moved simultaneously.

Even if Nie Chen’s aura was strange, Di Puze didn’t believe that he could block the three of them.

The combined strength of three Xuan Qi realm cultivators was already enough to rival the Imperial Court’s army.

Moreover, the three of them were experts from the Imperial Court, skilled in killing and condensing their spiritual energy to a level that was far beyond what it seemed on the surface.

However, as they approached Nie Chen, they were met with a shocking sight.

Under the protection of the Ancient Sacred Body, Nie Chen’s entire body was radiating a golden light, and his speed was incredibly fast, making him a difficult target to catch.

“Too fast!”

Di Puze’s heart was racing, and he couldn’t find Nie Chen’s trail.

He frantically looked around, only to discover that his head was surrounded by countless golden lights.

The golden lights poured down, filling the air with a sacred and powerful energy.

Di Puze felt like he was being strangled, and his body was trembling with fear.

His eyes turned red, and he poured all his spiritual energy into the jade pendant that was suppressing Shu Xiangdie, trying to counterattack.

However, the jade pendant, which was condensed with the blood of the eldest princess, was no match for Nie Chen’s attack.

The golden lights were like a majestic saint, leaving Di Puze with only a sense of awe and fear.

Di Puze let out a blood-curdling scream, but it was drowned out by the endless golden lights.

His body twisted and contorted, turning into a bloody mess, and his physical and spiritual bodies were completely destroyed.

The remaining two people thought they had found an opening to attack Nie Chen from behind.

However, their blades were stuck in mid-air, unable to move.

“What is this?”

The two people were shocked and terrified.

They discovered that their bodies were surrounded by a thick, eerie gray mist.

The mist was extremely cold, like ice, and any spiritual energy that came into contact with it was silently absorbed.

“Could this be the Extreme Yin Qi?”

The two people’s eyes widened in terror.

The Extreme Yin Qi was an ancient legend that had not been seen for many years.

They never expected to encounter it here.

The two people’s faces were twisted in fear, and they tried to escape from Nie Chen with all their might.

However, they found that their bodies were already bound by the invisible aura, and they couldn’t move no matter how hard they tried.

“Damn it, what kind of person are you?”

The two people’s voices were trembling with fear.

The cold, eerie aura spread throughout their bodies, causing them immense pain.

Their spiritual energy and life force were rapidly draining away, but they were powerless to stop it.

“Crack, crack.”

The two people’s bodies slowly withered and froze, their life force completely extinguished.

The Extreme Yin Qi dissipated, and the two people’s bodies shattered into ice-like fragments.

[Congratulations, host, you have completed the mission and obtained a reward of 3 skill points.]

Nie Chen shook his head in disdain.

These three people were really not worth much.

The Shadow Demon King’s subordinates could provide one skill point each, but these three Xuan Qi realm cultivators together were only worth three skill points, which was quite cheap.

Nie Chen looked at Shu Xiangdie, who was suspended in mid-air by golden threads.

“I didn’t expect you to use a disguise technique,” Nie Chen said. “Your original appearance is much more beautiful than your disguised one.”

Shu Xiangdie’s face turned red with anger.

Nie Chen had looked at her for so long before finally recognizing her!

Shu Xiangdie struggled and twisted her body, causing the golden threads to bind her even tighter.

Nie Chen coughed awkwardly.

If possible, he would have liked to look at her for a while longer.

However, to prove that he wasn’t a pervert, he had to use his spiritual energy to cut the golden threads.

Shu Xiangdie’s body fell, but Nie Chen caught her gently.

As their bodies touched, Shu Xiangdie felt a sudden surge of heat.

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you untie the threads,” Nie Chen said.

However, the threads were very difficult to untie, and Nie Chen had to carefully try to loosen them.

As he worked, Shu Xiangdie’s voice was filled with embarrassment and anxiety.

“Be serious and don’t look elsewhere!”

“Hey, not there!”

“Don’t touch that!”

“Ah~”

Finally, Nie Chen managed to untie the threads.

Shu Xiangdie’s body relaxed, and her face was flushed with embarrassment.

However, her heart was still racing.

She could feel her heartbeat pounding in her chest, much faster than usual.

Shu Xiangdie took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She approached Nie Chen and asked softly, “You weren’t heading towards the Heavenly Cloud Palace, so why did you appear here?”

Nie Chen hesitated.

He couldn’t say that he was here to complete a system mission.

Not knowing how to explain, he awkwardly made up a reason.

“I just happened to pass by.”

However, when Shu Xiangdie heard this, her expression changed subtly.

She realized that she had been wrong.

Nie Chen’s appearance here was not a coincidence.

It was impossible for him to suddenly appear here without a reason.

The only possibility was that Nie Chen had been following her from the beginning, anticipating that she might be in danger.

No one would do such a thing for someone they didn’t care about.

‘Could it be that he really has feelings for me? And that I hold a special place in his heart?’

Shu Xiangdie’s heart skipped a beat.
