Shi Tingmingâs expression changed tremendously.
He could sense a terrifying aura from the woman in front of him.
âYouâââ
Before he could speak, the masked woman slapped in his direction, causing an overwhelming force of the Heavens and Earth to explode instantly.
BANG!
The monarch glow was shattered while Shi Tingmingâs figure was knocked into the ground. His body was covered in countless wounds.
âNaughty kids ought to be punished.â The masked woman ignored his presence and raised her head looking at Qin Nan. She unveiled the mask, revealing a glamorous face as she said, âQin Nan-Nan.â
âPrinâ¦Princess?â
Qin Nan was stunned.
He did not expect the Princess that was constantly on his mind would appear right at this moment.
âHumph, are you trying to hide from me? You left when I had just arrived at the Dragon Emperor Clan. It took me a great effort just to find you!â Princess Miao Miao swung her pink fist around.
Qin Nan remained speechless. He continued to stare at the Princess with a blank expression.
Since their last meeting at the Wuliang Sect, he had lost count of the days they had been apart. Unlike before, the Princess had grown taller, her physique was even more perfect, and she was also prettier than before.
Even though the Princess already had attractive facial features before, she had still looked like a child from afar, but she had become a woman now.
âWhat are you looking at?â Princess Miao Miaoâs face blushed slightly as she rolled her eyes.
âUhhâ¦Why are you here?â Qin Nan subconsciously asked.
âWhy canât I be here?â Princess Miao Miao snapped, âIâll let you deal with your trouble first. Iâve plenty of time to teach you a lesson.â
âErr, sure!â
Qin Nan collected his thoughts as a smile blossomed on his face.
The Princessâs cultivation had changed, her looks had changed, but she was still the Princess he knew.
Having this thought, Qin Nan shifted his gaze toward Shi Tingming.
âQin Nanâ¦ifâ¦if you kill me, my master Martial Monarch Huo Ling will not forgive youâ¦Let me go, and Iâll give you everythingâ¦I wonât trouble you any further, you have my wordâ¦â Shi Tingmingâs figure trembled as he said with a stern expression.
He was clear that he only had a chance to live by trying to intimidate Qin Nan with the name of Martial Monarch Huo Ling.
âYour master? Martial Monarch Huo Ling? Iâll be looking forward to meeting him then!â
Qin Nanâs gaze turned cold as he executed a slash.
The eighty-second ranked on the Monarch Ranking, Shi Tingming, was slain!
Following this, Qin Nan glanced in the direction of the trio.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The trioâs figures shuddered as their faces turned pale.
A single Qin Nan was terrifying enough, and now a peak Martial Progenitor Realm woman had appeared out of nowhere. They had absolutely no chance of escaping from them.
âCultivatorâ¦Cultivator Qin Nan, the Ownerless Martial Spirit and the Ownerless Martial Tree are all yours. I just hope that you will let us go. Donât worry, weâre willing to swear an oath of the Heavens and Earth that we will not tell anyone about your whereabouts.â
The black-haired old manâs eyes were filled with a hint of pleading.
Qin Nan wore a calm expression as he put the Ownerless Martial Tree into the Sumeru Ring with a wave before he spoke, âThe Ownerless Martial Spirit is yours, you can take it. I wonât kill you either, but only on one condition.â
âCondition?â The trio was stunned.
âItâs very simple, just tell me where the three Martial Monarchsâ sons and your leader are.â Qin Nan said.
He was satisfied to find an Ownerless Martial Tree here in the middle sector, thus it was time for him to head to the inner sector.
The three Martial Monarchsâ sons and the Black Dragon were at the inner sector. Instead of waiting for them to trouble him, he had decided to take the initiative to hunt them down.
Most importantly, there must be some reason why the three Martial Monarchsâ sons were interested in the Desolated Battle Ground, thus Qin Nan was keen to see what that reason was.
He was never merciful toward his enemies.
âThisâ¦â The black-haired old man hesitated before he clenched his teeth and said, âAlright, Iâll tell you, but I hope you will keep your promise!â
Following this, the black-haired old man told Qin Nan what he had asked for.
Qin Nan glanced at the map that Gong Yang had given him and immediately discovered their exact position.
âYou can leave now.â Qin Nan waved his hand.
âThank you!â
The trio let out a sigh of relief and left the scene. They had only taken a few steps when Qin Nan suddenly said, âWait.â
The trioâs figures stiffened and they were about to say something when they heard Qin Nan saying in a calm tone, âYou three are smart enough to make the right choice. A piece of advice: Leave the Black Dragon and join the Blood Scorpion, because the Black Dragon will be crushed soon.â
The three were startled.
When they collected their thoughts, Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao had already vanished.
â¦â¦
â¦â¦
In the sky filled with battle intent, Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao were flying forward beside each other.
Qin Nan peeked at the side of Princess Miao Miaoâs face.
He currently knew the Princessâ real identity, the Princess of the Lost Herb Garden, one of the seven great factions in the half-God region.
However, why would someone with such an identity end up at the Mystic Spirit Sect of the lower district, and having suffered such a serious injury when he had found her?
Could it be that something had happened to the Lost Herb Garden?
A few questions arose in Qin Nanâs mind, but he decided not to ask them after hesitating for a while.
âQin Nan-Nan, youâve been enjoying yourself in the Middle Continent. Many factions have their eyes on you, and are desperately trying to kill you as well.â Princess Miao Miao said with a giggle.
âErr, can we not talk about this?â Qin Nan let out a cough.
âAlright, I donât mind.â Princess Miao Miao rolled her eyes before she went up to Qin Nan and whispered, âTell me, do you really know where the treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch is?â
âThisâ¦â
Qin Nan lost his focus for a while as he smelled the pleasant scent from the Princess.
âIâm asking you a question.â Princess Miao Miao straightened her face.
âMm, I do know where it is.â
Qin Nan collected his thoughts and cast her an alert look, âYou donât need to go after the treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch. Itâs nothing useful for you.â
âHumph, I know that youâre not going to say it because youâre keeping it for yourself.â Princess Miao Miaoâs face was filled with disbelief as she said, âIâm the Princess of the Lost Herb Garden, why would I be interested in the mere treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.â
âMm, youâre right about that.â Qin Nan let out a relieved sigh.
âThen tell me, what exactly is it? Why do you know itâs useless for me?â
ââ¦â¦â
After holding onto the same topic for a while, Princess Miao Miao finally left Qin Nan alone after seeing the troubled expression on his face. Her giggles echoed in the sky.
âQin Nan Nan, I have something to ask you.â Princess Miao Miao suddenly recalled something.
âMm, go ahead.â
âIn your faction, or in the Middle Continent, did any female cultivator do something to you?â Princess Miao Miao asked softly as her face blushed slightly.
âDo something?â Qin Nan was confused, âWhat do you mean?â
âDoâ¦doâ¦Humph, Iâm asking you if any female cultivator expressed their love to you? Or did they ask you to be their partner?â Princess Miao Miaoâs face blushed even more.
âExpress their love? Partner?â Qin Nan was left speechless, âSo thatâs what youâre trying to ask? Not at all.â
âReally?â Princess Miao Miaoâs eyes glistened as she giggled, âMaybe youâre too ugly, thatâs why no one is interested in you.â
âImpossible? Maybe I just wasnât aware.â
âJust accept the truth that youâre too ugly for them.â
âYouâ¦if you say so.â
The two continued to quarrel just like old times back in the Mystic Spirit Sect.
