Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 337 - 239: Despicable Dragon!

The Sage of Time is the second most difficult person the protagonist has tried to kill.

The first is Su Qianqian.

Su Qianqian’s life is tougher than a cat’s, no matter what, she just won’t die.

Of course, what’s tougher than Su Qianqian’s life is her temper and personality.

Logically, having escaped death multiple times and gone through so many ups and downs, Su Qianqian’s personality should have changed somewhat.

However, Su Qianqian hasn’t changed at all.

It feels as if the person who went through those things wasn’t her at all.

The protagonist doesn’t know whether to call Su Qianqian persistent or heartless.

"Sage of Time, come out!"

The protagonist doesn’t care about Zhao Yi, who is watching the drama from afar.

He stares at Yao Su, solemnly saying, "I know it’s you, come out and face me!"

This sentence from the protagonist seemed to activate some switch.

The cold and fierce expression on Yao Su’s face instantly calmed.

When she raises her head again, the previous disgust and disdain in her eyes are replaced by a look familiar to the protagonist.

"It really is you!"

The protagonist suddenly reacts and says, "You actually never restored Yao Su’s divine soul; the divine soul earlier was you in disguise, right?"

Only then does the protagonist understand why Yao Su remained silent on the side when he fused the remaining experience and memories of the Residual Soul of the Sage of Time with Su Qianqian in the Spirit Realm.

The reason is simple, Yao Su is the Sage of Time.

The Residual Soul of the Sage of Time still exists, so there was no need to add more memories.

The protagonist fused the memory fragments with Su Qianqian, making it seem as though Su Qianqian benefited greatly, but it also provided the Sage of Time an opportunity to absorb Su Qianqian’s divine soul and strengthen herself.

This is why Yao Su could sense Su Qianqian’s location.

Su Qianqian’s divine soul is fused with the memories of the Sage of Time, which to the Sage of Time is like having a locator.

As long as Su Qianqian doesn’t leave this world, she can’t escape the Sage of Time’s detection.

The Sage of Time, seeing that the protagonist has seen through her disguise, stops pretending and straightforwardly admits:

"Indeed, I couldn’t reshape the divine soul of this body."

"Undead Magic, while incredibly mysterious, especially in studying the divine soul far surpasses other Rule System magics."

"But Undead Magic has its limitations, and that is it cannot break the effects of rules, meaning it cannot create something out of nothing."

"The divine soul of this body has completely dispersed, and I can only capture fragments of her memories from the residual consciousness in the body."

At this point, the Sage of Time looks at the protagonist earnestly and says, "I thought you’d thank me. Though the divine soul is fake, you mother and son have reunited. According to your Cultivation World’s sayings, this is a benevolent lie."

"You bastard!" The protagonist is instantly furious.

The protagonist recalls how the Sage of Time impersonated Yao Su, calling him a "little wretch," nearly making him explode with anger.

Zhao Yi, witnessing this scene from the side, suddenly feels elated and downs another large cup of wine.

Satisfying!

Zhao Yi only just realized today that something more satisfying than mother-in-law squabbles is the saga of the true and false Monkey King.

No wonder mother-in-law conflicts can only be aired during prime time, while "Journey to the West" is broadcast every summer.

The monkey-playing drama is indeed more entertaining than a street brawl among shrews!

Whoosh!

At this moment, the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh can be heard again.

Hmm?

The protagonist, Zhao Yi, and the Sage of Time all freeze.

All three look at Su Qianqian, holding the bone-cutting knife with a fierce expression on her face, their minds unable to comprehend.

The protagonist is a bit stunned: "Why did you stab her again?"

Zhao Yi nods in agreement: "Yeah, why stab her again?"

The Sage of Time is utterly overwhelmed: "You crazy woman, lunatic! Hey you, hurry and stop my bleeding! I just used my divine soul to stimulate the potential of this body to maintain life force, but this method can’t be used continuously, or this body will be destroyed!"

"Don’t save her!"

Seeing the protagonist hesitating, Su Qianqian quickly stops him.

Su Qianqian, for once, shows a rare moment of clarity.

She glares at the Sage of Time, her face full of alertness: "She wants to kill me! Her gaze is exactly the same as how I used to look at Zhao Yi, that idiot—it’s a nauseating look that wants to kill the other person!"

Zhao Yi: ???

Zhao Yi, not expecting to be caught in the crossfire while eating popcorn, suddenly finds himself involved.

Zhao Yi immediately understands the protagonist’s previous reaction.

Su Qianqian is too shameless.

She really deserves to die!

Feeling the furious emotions Zhao Yi is exuding, the protagonist smirks internally.

If it weren’t for Su Qianqian’s awful propensity to cling like a snake following a stick, the protagonist would have wanted him to speak a bit more.

"Amitabha!"

Upon hearing that Yao Su is truly dead, the weight on the protagonist’s heart suddenly eases.

At this point, there’s nothing more to say.

With his hands joined in prayer, he murmurs a Buddhist chant before heading in the opposite direction of Zhao Yi to leave the grove.

"Don’t leave!"

Yao Su and the Sage of Time simultaneously call out to the protagonist.

Su Qianqian whimpers, "Brother Fajing, wait for me. I’ll finish off this one and leave with you."

The Sage of Time, now severely pale due to blood loss, says: "You came here to find out if I left any traces, didn’t you? Rescue me, and I can tell you the secrets about the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds! You should know my true form—trust me when I say no one can gather intelligence easier than an Undead Mage. Because even when a person dies, their body will reveal secrets to us!"

Upon hearing this, the protagonist hesitates in his step.

He does indeed want to know information about the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds.

Though the protagonist has long wanted to retire, since arriving in the Spirit Realm, he has had to confront a more urgent issue.

The Cultivation World is powerless in the face of the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds.

If the sages of the Spirit Realm were to descend, the Cultivation World could collapse instantly.

Under a fallen nest, is there any intact egg?

If the Cultivation World becomes a prison for the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds, then where can he go to retire?

"Sounds good."

The protagonist halts his steps, turning to look at the Sage of Time, saying without expression, "Then tell me one piece of information first. You need to prove your worth!"

"Then let’s speak about the True Dragon."

The Sage of Time recalls something and asks the protagonist, "When you returned from the Spirit Realm, did you see a gigantic dragon in that strange place?"

Upon hearing this, the protagonist pauses, "That was a True Dragon?"

Indeed, the protagonist saw a dragon in a Small World Fragment, but he thought it was just an ordinary member of the Four Seas Dragon Race, only larger, so he didn’t pay it much mind.

Now, hearing the Sage of Time’s words, the protagonist is utterly shocked.

"The True Dragon actually died?"

"No, it didn’t die!"

Speaking of the True Dragon, the Sage of Time’s expression is very peculiar.

There is both mockery and disdain, as well as a sense of camaraderie.

Then, the Sage of Time makes an unexpected judgment about the True Dragon to the protagonist.

"The True Dragon is the most despicable and shameless dragon I’ve ever seen in the world."
