Chapter 1430: Tianlian Zhenren Endures a Severe Blow

White Deer King glanced at Chen Chuyang, said nothing further; that was a matter between them, and it would not be good for an outsider to intervene too deeply. He had already given the necessary reminder, and as long as he did what he was supposed to do, the rest could be left to Chen Chuyang to handle himself.

White Deer King did not continue the topic, but instead was curious about the layout of Longshe Shan; the abundance of heavenly and earthly spiritual qi was thick, and the place had more than one spirit vein. It was evident that Chen Chuyang had lived very nourished in Tianwai these years. Thinking of his own situation, White Deer King did not know what to say.

What do my endless flight and constant wandering along this road amount to?

"This place is truly wonderful," White Deer King said after looking for a long time, genuinely admiring and envying it.

Chen Chuyang placed his hand and said, "Your Excellency White Deer King, you may also reside here from now on; you can stay as long as you wish."

Chen Chuyang knew White Deer King's methods well; this person is worth cultivating, values loyalty, places great importance on promises, has decent talent, and most importantly possesses a fortune‑attracting, disaster‑avoiding ability—when danger arises, White Deer King can know it instantly.

The benefits of keeping him stay far outweigh those of driving him away; after much thought, Chen Chuyang decided to let him remain.

"Really?" White Deer King exclaimed, excited; he naturally wanted to stay, but speaking to Chen Chuyang was a different matter.

Chen Chuyang's words gave him face, preventing him from embarrassment or awkwardness.

"Of course it's true; Your Excellency White Deer King and I are old friends. This place is my territory, and naturally it is also half a home for you," Chen Chuyang said, patting White Deer King's shoulder earnestly.

"Thank you, Chen Chuyang. Rest assured, with me here I will not allow any danger to arise in this place," White Deer King said solemnly.

He resolved in his heart to protect Longshe Shan; he would not let anyone destroy it.

After all, this is his home; he would not permit anyone else to damage it—no one could. Destruction would be possible only if they stepped over his corpse.

"No need for that, Your Excellency White Deer King, you are a talent. If the territory is lost, it can be rebuilt, but if the person is gone, that's truly gone." Chen Chuyang naturally understood White Deer King's intention; he did not want White Deer King to die in vain.

If it truly comes to this point, we must stay alive, not die.

Upon hearing this, White Deer King's eyes reddened.

He stared fixedly at Chen Chuyang, looking as if about to weep. Chen Chuyang smiled at him, "Your Excellency White Deer King, remember that as long as the green mountains remain, we need not worry about firewood. You are extremely important to me; I cannot lose you."

White Deer King grasped Chen Chuyang's hand, nodded vigorously, and then set out to carve his own cave residence.

Seeing this, Chen Chuyang nodded in satisfaction, smiled at Qinglong Daoren, who went forward; together they helped White Deer King construct the cave residence. With the two of them, the speed increased considerably, and the cave residence White Deer King needed was larger and different.

Xinran Zhanglao and Tianlian Zhenren walked over, gazing at White Deer King's figure. After a long pause, Xinran Zhanglao spoke, "Husband, with White Deer King joining us, our personnel increase by one, and our strength rises dramatically."

"Your Excellency White Deer King's fortune‑attracting, disaster‑avoiding ability can guarantee our safety; should danger appear, we can immediately relocate the Formation."

Xinran Zhanglao naturally knew White Deer King's innate ability and understood his strengths; in other aspects, perhaps White Deer King was not so formidable, but regarding the ability to survive, no one present was more skilled than him.

Your Excellency White Deer King has survived so many years, traversed countless places in Tianwai, and still lives on, thanks to his innate divine power.

Tianlian Zhenren also thought White Deer King was impressive; the environment he was in was hundreds of times more dangerous than hers, yet White Deer King still found this place and remained alive.

The people who were with him, you could tell at a glance that they were all dead.

Not a single one left.

White Deer King also explained the situation briefly, mentioning many matters in passing without going into detail.

But they still caught the details, naturally realizing those people disobeyed White Deer King, refused to follow him back, chose to act on their own, and met tragedy; those people all perished completely.

"Indeed, Your Excellency White Deer King's ability is truly formidable; we currently need it greatly," Tianlian Zhenren nodded deeply, at that moment finally understanding White Deer King's worth.

This person can live a long life by relying on his own ability; previously, she thought such an ageless being, who relied on age to crush others, was not worthy of her respect. After experiencing the dangers of Tianwai, she realized White Deer King's true strength.

"Madam, it's rare to hear you praise someone," Chen Chuyang said, hugging Tianlian Zhenren, lowering his head to sniff.

Tianlian Zhenren smelled fragrant, sweetly scented.

Chen Chuyang loved her scent and enjoyed teasing her, especially here; teasing Tianlian Zhenren lifted his spirits.

Xinran Zhanglao covered her mouth and giggled, not stopping Chen Chuyang's behavior but watching with interest; her favorite scene was to see Tianlian Zhenren embarrassed, and she also liked seeing her shyness.

"Husband, don't come so close," Tianlian Zhenren's cheeks flushed as she pushed Chen Chuyang away, giving him a cold look, "Husband, there are others watching here; can you be mindful of the impact?"

"Madam, only the three of us are here, all of us are comrades; what are you afraid of?"

Tianlian Zhenren gave Chen Chuyang another cold look, pointing at Xinran Zhanglao.

"She is still here."

Chen Chuyang ignored Xinran Zhanglao, lifted Tianlian Zhenren, took a deep breath while lowering his head, and said cheerfully, "Madam, let's go."

Behind them, Xinran Zhanglao followed inside; being quite considerate, she immediately closed the door after entering and activated the Formation.

Tianlian Zhenren, unaware of what she was about to face, immediately wailed, "Husband, have mercy! I will never dare again."

"Husband, spare me this time, okay?"

The seductive woman, Tianlian Zhenren, broke her usual demeanor, radiating an alluring aura.

That gaze, that smile.

That every movement.

A frown and a smile.

Chen Chuyang could not endure it; he didn't know where Tianlian Zhenren learned this trick, but it was truly formidable—at least it attracted Chen Chuyang irresistibly.

He immediately drew his sword and entered the fray, causing Tianlian Zhenren to weep bitterly.

Nearby, Xinran Zhanglao clapped, waving both hands, reveling in the misfortune.

"Husband, you must not let her go free."

"Punish her severely for me."

"She must never have it easy."

Each time she speaks, Tianlian Zhenren suffers another heavy blow.
