Chapter 1849

"You want to take me away?" A smile appeared on Heishanyang's face, a light smile, her eyes holding a playful gaze as she stared at Chen Chuyang, as if she couldn't believe this human was so bold—saving her wasn't enough, he even wanted to take her in; does he know what that means?

Offending the Kunpeng Guardian is extremely dangerous; it means becoming an enemy of the Myriad Demon Hall, something many powers would rather avoid. Initially, the Kunpeng Guardian set its sights on the treasure of their Black Water True Dragon clan, wanting to seize it for itself, even if it meant wiping out the clan. If she hadn't reacted quickly and fled with her brother, the Black Water True Dragon clan might have already been destroyed.

This debt, this grudge, she must repay. Now, her brother Ao Zhong is also dead, all her relatives have perished, leaving only her. Heishanyang's inner rage has reached its limit, with no outlet; she knows she cannot act impulsively now, nor can she go seek revenge against the Kunpeng Guardian.

Before her strength recovers, she must hide herself, must stay concealed, not let the Kunpeng Guardian find her. Cangzhou can no longer hide her; Heishanyang knows she has awakened, and this place will soon be discovered by the Kunpeng Guardian.

Over these years, the Kunpeng Guardian hasn't found this place, because it never expected anyone to hide here, using the aura of the Mangshan Mountain Range to mask their presence. Facing the Kunpeng Guardian, she feels immense pressure; even at her peak, she might not be a match for it.

"Not bad. If you're willing, you can follow me; this can also count as my protection in return for what Ao Zhong gave me. If you want me to help you take revenge, I can't do that, but I can take you with me and help you evade the Kunpeng Guardian."

"I dare not say anything else, but that place is somewhere the Kunpeng Guardian can't find or even imagine; as long as you don't want to die, no one can kill you."

Chen Chuyang reached out; this woman is extremely important, possessing a powerful bloodline and divine abilities. If they could be passed down and combined with the Azure Dragon Clan, wouldn't that be something?

The more he thought, the more possible it seemed; Heishanyang's cultivation is roughly at the eighth tribulation, and wanting to fully restore her power isn't easy—at the very least it would take… a very long time. The urgent priority is to hide, so no one discovers her existence.

Even the demon beasts of the Mangshan Mountain Range won't do; only that place can conceal her and eliminate all danger.

Heishanyang's smile grew wider: "Do you know how dangerous the Kunpeng Guardian is? This person's strength surpasses mine; they are extremely dangerous, their divine arts vicious—if you get hit, you could end up like my brother."

"Inside the Myriad Demon Hall there are many demon kings, each not simple, with strange divine arts; finding us wouldn't be difficult."

"If the Kunpeng Guardian discovers us together, you will be in great danger, human—have you decided?"

This human is quite unexpected; Heishanyang knows Chen Chuyang has taken an interest in her bloodline, and also knows he has taken an interest in her divine abilities.

It's not admiration for a woman, but admiration for a certain power.

That gaze made her not feel offended or uncomfortable.

"Tch, just a Kunpeng Guardian—nothing much. Heishanyang, come back with me; if I fail to protect you, that's my dereliction of duty."

"As long as you stay on my turf, I can protect you; without my permission, no one can take you away."

"Of course, if you want to leave, you can do so anytime; I won't force you, nor will I restrict your personal freedom."

Once they reach Longshe Shan, it's no longer up to her; anyone who enters Longshe Shan cannot leave.

Everyone is the same; Heishanyang wants to restore her cultivation, needing him, also needing various resources, most importantly needing an absolutely safe environment, and also needing someone to protect her—and he is the most suitable.

Chen Chuyang fixed his gaze on her, his desire to research reaching its limit; many divine abilities that came into his hands were thoroughly studied by him—for example, the Palm World, which evolved from the Mixed Yuan One Qi Hand, continually evolving, integrating many rules, becoming his unique Palm World, also called the Mixed Yuan World.

Besides that, many divine abilities have been perfected, the Dripping Blood Rebirth ability completed, and also the external incarnation ability—proving his idea was correct. So far, aside from Qinglong Daoren, there has been no second external incarnation; Chen Chuyang naturally wants to continue refining a second incarnation, but unfortunately there are no suitable materials.

He also lacks the energy; lately he's been too busy, and the research on external incarnation has come to a halt.

Seeing Heishanyang, and also the corpse-born lotus he had obtained earlier—something he never had a chance to study, nor could he refine into a pill—an idea once again sprang up in his mind.

"Really?" Heishanyang had no doubt about Chen Chuyang's strength; this person is unfathomable—after just one probing attempt, she couldn't gauge his power, only feeling that this human is very strong, even more frightening and terrifying than she was at her peak.

Such a threat cannot be faked; very few humans can make Heishanyang feel fear and threat, and Chen Chuyang is one of them—even if this person appears unimpressive and seems non-threatening, in reality, people like this are the most terrifying.

"What do I need to give up? Could it be that, like you and my brother said, you want to marry me?" As she spoke, Heishanyang's face turned slightly unnatural, her eyes fixed on Chen Chuyang, a flicker of shyness flashing across them.

Even someone as strong as she is can feel shy.

Upon hearing that, the little carp below couldn't hold back; it shot up, intercepted them, and shouted loudly, "No, not allowed."

"Absolutely not; you two cannot become husband and wife—I disagree."

The little carp glared at Heishanyang with fury, that resentment and that gaze quite frightening.

Heishanyang's gaze turned teasing as she stared at the little carp before her; after a while, her smile deepened: "So it's you, Little Carp; I didn't expect you to still be alive, and you've even changed your appearance."

"Tsk tsk tsk, everyone thought you were dead, but instead you hid here and are still following a human."

The little carp isn't the least bit afraid of Heishanyang's aura, nor of her Dragon Might.

"Heishanyang, you can't marry the master—don't even think about it."

With hands on hips, pointing at Heishanyang, that look, that demeanor, is quite amusing.

Heishanyang's face indeed showed that expression; this little carp really isn't simple—it knows it's not that simple.

"The little carp's identity really isn't simple—I knew it."

Chen Chuyang looked up, glanced at the little carp, and didn't expect the two of them to know each other; moreover, it wasn't an ordinary relationship—otherwise, the little carp wouldn't dare speak to Heishanyang like that, for demon beast bloodlines have strict rules, with higher bloodlines exerting strong suppression over lower ones.

Generally, those with lowly bloodlines wouldn't dare raise their heads, nor dare speak in such a way.
