Chapter 1861: Unwilling Dust Rock! Teacher, You Don't Need to Worry!

"It's too troublesome? Then don't do it!"

The Frost Crown Sovereign let out a cold snort:

"Chenyan.

I've told you many times already, I have no interest in you.

Don't pull tricks like this again."

"Is that so? But I just want to do it—what can be done?"

Seeing this, the Dust Rock Sovereign didn't get angry either.

Instead, he smiled faintly and spoke, carrying quite a bit of the meaning of persistent pestering.

"Chasing women isn't done like this.

If I were you, I wouldn't choose to persistently pester."

The silent Xu Jingming suddenly spoke up.

Although he didn't know where this Dust Rock Sovereign came from,

hearing the two's conversation, he roughly understood the situation.

Just a sycophant, really.

You've already drawn the other's disgust, yet you keep licking—this is your fault.

Moreover, the one you're licking is still his teacher.

As a disciple, he naturally had to step forward to speak for his teacher.

"Hmm?"

The Dust Rock Sovereign's gaze shifted, and for the first time, he properly looked at Xu Jingming.

Seeing he was only at the Initial Tribulation Sovereign realm yet dared to interject, a flicker of contempt and doubt flashed in his eyes:

"Who are you? I'm speaking with Frost Crown—when did it become your turn, a junior, to interrupt?"

"I am Frost Crown Teacher's disciple, Xu Jingming."

Xu Jingming remained neither humble nor arrogant, meeting his gaze directly:

"Teacher's affairs, a disciple naturally cares.

Moreover, Teacher has already clearly refused just now."

"Disciple?"

The Dust Rock Sovereign was visibly stunned for a moment.

Tens of thousands of years ago, when he went to the extraterritorial battlefield, he didn't know Frost Crown still had such a Sovereign-realm disciple.

"This is someone I've only recently taken in these past years."

Frost Crown Sovereign spoke coldly, thus confirming Xu Jingming's identity.

"Someone you've only recently taken in these past years, and already at Sovereign realm?"

The Dust Rock Sovereign still seemed somewhat puzzled.

But he didn't dwell on these details, turning his gaze back to Xu Jingming.

His golden-yellow eyes narrowed slightly, his tone turning cold:

"Even if you are Frost Crown's disciple, you should understand some etiquette.

When elders speak, rashly interrupting is not the way of a disciple.

Frost Crown, your disciple seems rather impolite?"

The last sentence was directed at Frost Crown Sovereign.

"Whether my disciple is polite or not is none of your business."

Frost Crown Sovereign's voice grew colder, icy-blue divine power already beginning to surge around her, "Jingming, let's go."

The words fell, and she directly grabbed Xu Jingming's wrist.

Turning into a stream of icy-blue light, she flew toward the Taigu Source Realm entrance without looking back.

"Failed."

"Hehe, I already expected this."

"After all, Dust Rock Sovereign has pursued for hundreds of thousands of years without success—this time is the same."

"..."

Amidst the murmurs of discussion, the onlooker Sovereign-realm powerhouses nearby quickly dispersed.

Frost Crown Sovereign!

The most beautiful ice mountain snow lotus of the Eternal Star Alliance.

Since she rose to fame, who knows how many male Sovereign-realm powerhouses have tried to pursue her.

But in the end, all ended in failure.

There are many human Sovereign-realm powerhouses, some with descendants, establishing their own families.

Some are solitary, diligently cultivating, with no interest in companions whatsoever.

And there are not few of such powerhouses.

Because the number of failures is too great, many powerhouses have thus categorized Frost Crown Sovereign as the latter.

Therefore, they are not surprised by Dust Rock Sovereign's failure.

"Frost Crown, you're still as aloof as ever."

Dust Rock Sovereign stood in place, not forcibly blocking.

He merely watched Frost Crown Sovereign's slender back recede quickly into the distance.

Especially the alluring curve outlined by her battle attire, he licked his lips and muttered softly:

"However... I just like you this way!"

Until the figures of the two vanished into the halo of light at the entrance to the Primordial Source World.

Only then did the smile on Lord Chenyan's face slowly fade, and he beckoned with his hand.

In the void, an Undying Lord clad in black robes stepped forward respectfully:

"My lord Chenyan."

"That guy just now, Xu Jingming, what is his background? Tell me in detail."

Lord Chenyan toyed with the ice crystal flower in his hand, his tone flat.

These years he had guarded the external battlefield, and had not even logged into the virtual universe.

He knew very little about events within the human race's territory, let alone this new disciple Frostcrown had just taken.

"Reporting to my lord, this person comes from Blue Star.

Over ten years ago he entered the Eternal Star Alliance through the Genius Battle, and became a disciple of Lord Frostcrown.

He cultivated for less than fifty years before breaking through to the Lord realm, and is now an Initial Tribulation Lord......"

The black-robed Lord reported swiftly.

As he listened,

the casualness on Lord Chenyan's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a trace of surprise and interest.

"Cultivated for less than fifty years, broke through to Lord?

And can kill an Undying in reverse? Interesting."

Lord Chenyan's eyes flickered slightly.

He had originally only regarded Xu Jingming as an ordinary disciple, never expecting he would actually possess such talent and battle record.

"My lord, what do we do next?"

The black-robed Lord asked in a low voice, "Lord Frostcrown seems to be towards you......"

"No matter."

Lord Chenyan waved his hand, the corner of his mouth hooking into a confident arc:

"Frostcrown will likely have to go to the Water Domain next.

I'll help her take the Water Domain and give it to her as a gift.

I don't believe that still won't move her heart!"

"Yes! Subordinate understands!"

That Undying Lord understood perfectly, and immediately acknowledged.

On the other side, inside the Primordial Source World.

Lord Frostcrown brought Xu Jingming toward the teleportation light pillar where the Water Domain was located.

"Teacher, that Lord Chenyan is......?"

On the way Xu Jingming took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence.

"As you see, a persistent, troublesome nuisance."

Lord Frostcrown let out a light breath, her ice-blue eyes carrying unconcealed annoyance and helplessness:

"We met once several hundred thousand years ago, and he became self-righteous, pursuing relentlessly.

I've refused countless times, yet he still acts on his own.

Later he went to guard the external battlefield, and only then did it quiet down for several tens of thousands of years; didn't expect he'd return now."

She rarely mentioned her private affairs to her several disciples.

But for some reason, before Xu Jingming, she explained a few more sentences.

However, thinking that Lord Chenyan had already returned.

Lord Frostcrown couldn't help but knit her willow brows, a rare trace of weariness revealing itself in her expression.

Being pestered by a paranoid powerhouse with a deep background like this.

Even she, a Paramount Lord, felt it was tricky and annoying.

"Is he very strong?" Xu Jingming's sword brows lifted.

Based on his understanding of Teacher Frostcrown.

For this kind of plaster that won't come off, reasoning doesn't work, one should just use fists.

"Mm."

Lord Frostcrown nodded, "Strength not inferior to mine."

"I see."

Xu Jingming realized, then smiled and said:

"Teacher needn't worry too much.

When disciple's strength grows stronger, if he dares come make trouble again, I'll help you beat him back."

"You? Still far from it."

Lord Frostcrown couldn't help but shake her head.

In terms of strength, Xu Jingming can indeed match ordinary Paramount Lords.

But compared to her and Chenyan, such top-tier Paramount Lords, he falls short by quite a lot.

This gap, in a short time, cannot be caught up.

Of course,

as long as Xu Jingming has this intention, she is already very satisfied.
