Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1348 - 1333: A Man of Integrity

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, beauty lies in adornment. When the mature woman donned that purple dress, her entire aura transformed completely—she became noble, elegant, dignified, and graceful.

It seemed she had become a different person altogether, as if she had just groomed and dressed herself in this short span of time.

"Where is this place? How did I end up here?" The mature woman then scanned her surroundings and asked Shi Feng.

For some unknown reason, upon finding herself here with an unfamiliar male before her, the mature woman suddenly felt that this young man before her likely harbored no malice towards her.

If he truly intended harm or had evil intentions, with his Martial Arts Cultivation, she wouldn't stand a chance; he probably wouldn't have given her this dress to wear.

But why was she here?

Thoughts rapidly flashed through the mature woman's mind.

"This is the Heavenly Tower Desert!" Shi Feng answered the mature woman. Following this, Shi Feng realized something, asking the mature woman: "Are you not from the Mysterious Light Holy Land?"

The Mysterious Light Holy Land, long said to have existed within this Heavenly Tower Desert for ages, yet this mature woman seemed unaware of it.

It confirmed that she was not from the Heavenly Tower Desert!

Not a person from the Mysterious Light Holy Land, yet she transformed into a black long-haired monster and appeared in the Mysterious Light Ruins, which made Shi Feng connect her to another person—his disciple, Leng Aoyue.

"Heavenly Tower Desert? Mysterious Light Holy Land?" The mature woman shook her head at these unfamiliar names, saying, "I've never heard of them."

Listening to the mature woman's words, Shi Feng pondered further, saying: "You haven't even heard of the Heavenly Tower Desert or the Mysterious Light Holy Land, are you not from the Wilderness Continent?"

"Wilderness Continent?" Hearing Shi Feng's words, the mature woman lightly murmured, gradually realizing something, exclaiming: "What Wilderness Continent? Is this not the Martial Mystical Continent?"

"Martial Mystical Continent?" It seemed evident then; the mature woman indeed was not from the Wilderness Continent nor from his Tianheng Continent, but from a strange continent called the Martial Mystical Continent.

Moreover, judging by her current demeanor, she appeared unaware of how she ended up in the Wilderness Continent.

Shi Feng then asked her: "Did you encounter that mysterious Bronze Gate back on your Martial Mystical Continent?"

It seemed this Bronze Gate existed not only on the Tianheng Continent and the Wilderness Continent but also on the Martial Mystical Continent she was from.

"Bronze Gate?" The mature woman's expression changed slightly, as if recalling something, and she nodded solemnly to Shi Feng.

She continued:

"Once, I touched that Bronze Gate in an Ancient Relics site. Afterward, my body underwent transformations. Though I emerged from that relic restored to my original form, in recent years I've been haunted by a voice urging me to submit, and one night, my body seemed out of sorts..."

It seemed that night, the mature woman regrew the black fur, lost reason, and mysteriously ended up in this Wilderness Continent, entering the Mysterious Light Ruins.

Shi Feng recalled that his disciple Leng Aoyue experienced something similar.

Emerging from relics normal, disappearing suddenly years later.

Based on the mature woman's experience, Shi Feng further deduced that Leng Aoyue might be in the Mysterious Light Ruins among a group of black-haired monsters.

But what bizarre occurrences took place after they lost reason, allowing travel from one continent to another?

Having touched that Bronze Gate himself, Shi Feng wondered if he might become like them, losing his mind and transforming!

"No! Impossible! I will absolutely not become such a monster again! My fate is in my own hands!" Shi Feng resolutely told himself.

Having mostly pieced together the story,

Shi Feng spoke to the mature woman: "You likely lost reason and came to this place.

Not long ago, when I saw you, you were still one of those black-haired monsters. I rescued you from that Ancient Relics site, and only then did you return to normal."

"I see!" Hearing Shi Feng's words, the mature woman nodded to him, then added, "I apologize; I wrongly accused you before. I should properly repay you."

"No need for repayment, just a small gesture, hmm?" As Shi Feng spoke to the mature woman, he was suddenly shocked. The woman was trying to remove her dress.

Two enormous peaks appeared in Shi Feng's sight once more, swaying suddenly before his eyes.

"What are you doing!" Shi Feng sternly shouted.

Unexpectedly, the woman's idea of repaying Shi Feng was in such a manner.

The mature woman said, "I have nothing now, even this dress was given by you. I have nothing else to offer but my body to bring you joy."

Shi Feng's expression turned cold, telling the mature woman: "Put it back on! I'm not interested in your body.

"You!" Hearing Shi Feng's words, the mature woman was stunned. This man directly rejected her alluring body.

In her memory, no man had ever refused her body?

Weren't all those men fond of her body?

But since Shi Feng said so, the mature woman put her half-removed purple dress back on, covering the enormous peaks once more.

Shi Feng then spoke: "As I said, saving you was just a small gesture. I don't need any repayment. Let's part ways here."

With that, Shi Feng intended to leave.

"You're leaving me here alone?" Hearing Shi Feng's words and witnessing his intention to leave, the barely dressed mature woman was surprised.

She hurriedly pleaded further: "Don't abandon me like this; I've sensed several terrifying presences nearby."

This was no longer the edge of the Heavenly Tower Desert; the Barbaric Demons here were indeed terrifying for the One-star Demigod she was.

Even Shi Feng had sensed several Demigod Level Barbaric Demons nearby.

Shi Feng's brows furrowed, pondering before telling her: "Very well, you may follow me until we leave this Heavenly Tower Desert, but don't repeat such foolishness along the way."
