Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 546: I Don’t Have Money to Give You
The three of them were still within the Wind Cloud List.
Chen Pingping sent out the group that had been behind Chen Shixian, then separated the two women.
He approached Chen Shixian and said with a smile, "It’s over."
The latter showed no expression, but her heart was deeply shocked. Tied for first place! Chen Pingping could actually control the rankings of the Wind Cloud List. She couldn’t believe it.
"What are your plans now?" Chen Pingping asked.
"To stay away from you."
"..."
"I’ve thought about it for a long time. You’ve always been influencing me, and I can’t stay around you. I need to leave this place, to go somewhere far, far away..." she said earnestly.
Since entering the list, she had been pondering this question. It was undeniable that she had a good impression of Chen Pingping, but there were too many people around him. An inexplicable master, Guang Xiaoyu, Jiang Ni’er, and then those from before like Lan Xiuzhi, the Saintess... and now there was the Demon Race’s Yue Wuxia. The women by his side were all stunning; they not only possessed exceptionally beautiful faces but also formidable strength. And he himself was a terrifying, peerless genius—the kind of person who stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid. Yet, despite all her efforts, she could never catch up.
Chen Shixian thought a lot and finally understood. What one cannot touch must surely not belong to oneself. She decided to live for herself. The Ancient Divine Body should not be so listless. She should seek her own invincible path and step into the magnificent, vast world. She should bloom to her utmost; even if she were to die on the way, she would have no regrets in this life.
At this moment, Chen Shixian was very calm. "I am a Divine Body," she declared. "I have my own path to walk. I should be invincible under the heavens, looking down upon all living beings."
Her tone was light, yet it conveyed a sense of profound composure. It was also deeply oppressive.
Chen Pingping remained silent.
"You are very outstanding," Chen Shixian continued. "I hope that with time, I will be as excellent as you, becoming a powerful expert that everyone fears."
A gentle breeze swept by, her thick, dark hair swaying, the movement lightly disarraying her stunning elegance.
She was smiling, a smile like a hundred flowers blooming in unison.
She thought that she hadn’t laughed like this in many years. Ever since she met Chen Pingping, her life had been very repressive.
Now that she had completely let go, she was about to embark on a long journey.
She would no longer pay attention to any news about Chen Pingping. In fact, she would no longer consider him a lifelong enemy, nor would she concern herself with that inexplicable great calamity.
"Do you have anything you want to say to me?" Chen Shixian looked at him. "Anything is fine, even some conditions."
She blinked, her smile still radiant. At this moment, she was exceptionally charming.
Chen Pingping’s heart pounded. As he inhaled her faint, natural fragrance and sensed the tone of her voice, his blood seemed to boil with an indescribable impulse.
"I want..."
"Want what?"
"That!"
"Say it."
"Can you give me your Heavenly Book?" Chen Pingping asked with a sheepish smile.
"..."
She felt the urge to draw her sword. Yes! I don’t want to leave anymore. I want to stay here, grow stronger, and ultimately stab Chen Pingping to death with one slash, then hang his corpse on the Wuji Sect’s gate. That damned bastard! Weren’t my words clear enough? Can’t he understand? Or is he pretending not to? Fine!
Chen Shixian raised her hand and tossed the Heavenly Book over. "As you wish."
Chen Pingping accepted it without ceremony and put it away, then laughed proudly. "I have three of them now."
"..."
"What do you think will happen once I collect all the Heavenly Books?"
"It will summon my ancestors," she said.
"No way?" Chen Pingping was astounded. "Oh, right, here’s this ancient scroll for you."
Hm?
She raised an eyebrow.
It was an ancient scroll that Daoyan had brought out from the Ancient City.
Whoever held this ancient scroll could enter the Ancient City unhindered; no one was permitted to interfere.
Most of the geniuses who had journeyed from afar had come for this very scroll, a testament to its immense value.
But he was going to give it to me?
Chen Pingping grumbled, a look of disdain on his face, "That brat from the Dugu Family almost got me killed."
Chen Shixian said nothing.
He continued, "I heard that many powerful races live in that Ancient City, even Emperor Realm powerhouses. Sigh... it’s a pity. I wanted to go see it too, but I can’t get away right now. So, I guess you can have it."
She curled her lip, said nothing, and showed no intention of taking it.
The value of the ancient scroll was astounding. Even a Saint King, if present, would find it hard to remain composed and might attempt to seize it directly.
But Chen Pingping was resolute. He thrust the ancient scroll into her hands and then added, "I also picked up some trash skills before. You know I cultivate the sword, so I guess you can have them."
Before Chen Shixian could speak, he extended a finger and pressed it sharply between her brows.
The True Solar Scripture, the God Transformation Formula, One Qi Turns into Three Clarities, the Lingyun Emperor Scripture, the Skill-Incorruptibility Method, the Six Feet Golden Body...
There were twelve Divine Skills in total, and all of them were complete.
Without batting an eye, he transferred them all directly to Chen Shixian, then rambled, "Just take these trash skills."
What an idiot.
Chen Shixian felt a sting in her nose.
The ancient scroll, twelve Divine Skills... He seemed to have guessed where I’m going. But he didn’t say it outright, still calling them ’trash skills.’ What an absolute idiot.
"I picked up some Spirit Pills on the road. Lucky find, really. There are too many, I can’t use them all," Chen Pingping said, pulling out several hundred ninth-grade Spirit Pills.
The sight left Chen Shixian dazed.
’Picked them up’? How can you tell such an outrageous lie with a straight face? But this only made her more curious. Where on earth did Chen Pingping get these Spirit Pills? As far as I know, no one in the Wuji Sect, including him, can perform Alchemy. And his mysterious master... he isn’t known for such grand gestures, is he?
Chen Pingping glanced at her sideways. "So, we’re even now! You gave me the Heavenly Book, and I gave you some trash skills, Spirit Pills, and whatnot. You can’t say I took advantage of you in the future, alright?"
"So, are you saying you *didn’t* take advantage of me?" Chen Shixian suddenly asked.
"..."
"Do you want to?" she coaxed gently. "Like... like you did with that other person."
Like the Moon God, she silently added in her mind.
WHOA!
Chen Pingping feigned shock, a completely dumbfounded expression on his face. "D-do I have to pay?"
Chen Shixian: "..."
"I’m already broke! I gave you everything I found. I don’t have any money to give you," he said, his eyes wide.
"I’m leaving."
"Wait, I haven’t finished speaking!" Chen Pingping exclaimed, almost spitting blood in frustration. "What is wrong with you women? You’re always threatening to leave! And you don’t even let me finish what I’m saying. It’s outrageous!"
Chen Shixian stopped, holding back the urge to strike. She glared hard at him. "Speak."
PHEW.
He let out a heavy breath. After thinking for a moment, he finally voiced what was on his mind. "Can you... wait for me in the Ancient City?"
Chen Shixian asked, "And then?"
She felt a strange nervousness creep in.
Chen Pingping worked his lips for a moment, then said, "Then, of course... I’ll come over and sleep with you!"
WHIRR!
Chen Shixian’s expression froze. She instantly drew her sword. You won’t sleep with me now when you have the chance, but you insist on waiting until then? What exactly are you implying? Are you scorning me? Me, the dignified Ancient Divine Body, being scorned like this? There was nothing more to say. I’m going to kill Chen Pingping. Right now! I won’t wait a second longer!
