Chapter 735: I Didn't Want To Either

"So strong!"

Standing before the other, Shen Yu only felt that the other's aura was unfathomable. Clearly, the person was standing right in front of him, yet it felt as if they were a thousand miles away.

This feeling, he had only ever felt from Dong Yu alone.

The Compass could not lock onto the other's position; could it be that, like Dong Yu, the other was an existence that surpassed the old monsters?

"Why, what are you thinking? Are you thinking that I have occupied this body, and thinking about how to save her back!"

"Or rather, are you actually having some improper thoughts right now?"

"I have said it before, we are one and the same, you don't need to be reserved!"

Walking to Shen Yu's side, the two were within arm's reach, to the point where one could clearly see the fine hairs on each other's faces.

Looking at the other's world-toppling beauty, every movement seemed to pierce straight into the heart, making one's heart flutter, with a feeling of being unable to hold back.

That's not right, although he admitted he was no gentleman who could sit unmoved in the presence of a beauty, he shouldn't be having other thoughts in such a dangerous environment.

At a time like this, shouldn't he be thinking about how to counterattack, how to turn defeat into victory? How could he still be feeling restless in his heart?

"Who exactly are you?"

"I am her, she is me, who else could I be? How should I put it, I have a body in every era to ensure that I can wake up at any time."

"Why do you think I suddenly chose to go into seclusion before? It was because I sensed the Great Contention Era was approaching and I was about to awaken, so I had no choice but to go into seclusion."

"It is precisely because we had feelings for each other before that I came to find you as soon as I came out of seclusion. As long as you are willing, I can give my first time to you!"

The other's body was almost pressing against him, and what shone in those eyes was sincerity; the tenderness in those pupils seemed capable of melting a person.

With a beauty who could topple cities and states right by his side, how could someone like him, who lacked willpower, hold back?

Hey, that's not right, why would I think like that? Could it be that I have already found an excuse for myself?

"No, something's not right!" His mind was in chaos. Suddenly, Shen Yu had a rare moment of clarity, and his whole person instantly snapped awake.

The violent power within his body was affecting him every moment, stirring up the desires in his heart.

The purpose of those hundred-odd ordinary experts just now was merely to force him to circulate his power, so as to stir up that force within his body and, while he was circulating his power, rapidly infect and affect his reason.

This was likely energy that could stir up a person's carnal desires; no wonder he felt his whole body burning with an unbearable heat, and even the power within his body was so restless.

It was just waiting for the other to reach out a hand, and this completely restless power could be snatched away by someone.

This was just like a venomous snake, poisoning the person until they were nearly done for, and then slowly enjoying the meal.

They say the most venomous heart is a woman's; today, he had truly witnessed it.

The previous Gu Yutong was gentle and generous, completely different from the person now. As for this one, no matter how good-looking she was, he wouldn't dare touch her, for fear that not even his bone fragments would be left behind.

With the Heaven and Earth Lock sealing his own body, it stood to reason that he would not be invaded by this kind of negative energy.

However, he had not taken many precautions when he was healing that woman earlier, and had relaxed the restrictions of the Heaven and Earth Lock; one moment of carelessness had almost led him into a ditch.

At this moment, Shen Yu had the urge to slap himself. He told himself every day to be cautious, to be cautious—it had only been a few days, and he was already getting cocky!

Drifting through the Jianghu, one truly can never lower their guard at any time.

The Heaven and Earth Lock quietly trapped his entire body, locking away those alien energies that were constantly invading him, along with the better part of his own power.

There was no other way; these alien energies had already intertwined with the majority of his power, and he could only release the seal after he slowly purged them.

This move had crippled nearly half of his strength.

But it didn't matter; for Shen Yu, this bit of power was nothing, he still had many trump cards.

On the surface, Shen Yu remained in that dazed state, the skin on his body flushed red, his face looking as shy and red as a novice's.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yutong smiled lightly and placed her hands directly on his shoulders.

"Shen-lang, do you still remember the vows of love from back then? Would you marry me today?"

That affectionate gaze looked straight at Shen Yu, almost making one fall into it.

At this moment, Gu Yutong was already dressed in red, and in her eyes, besides deep affection, there was also a hint of impatience.

She didn't want to play these games either; according to her plan, she would just take the person, and snatch away the other's power along with his destiny.

With the blessing of such a Heavenly Pride, she might not necessarily fail to survive the Great Contention Era.

But there was no help for it; her reincarnation had encountered some problems, and this body was still resisting.

Originally, she would leave behind a portion of her soul fragments in every era; these fragments would be born and grow up like normal people, becoming her individual avatars.

Due to the influence of her soul, these bodies would inevitably be heroines with excellent Martial Arts and appearance; as long as they practiced martial arts, they would surely achieve something.

And after they died, their souls would return to her own body, bringing with them the fruits of their diligent practice over the years to nourish her own self.

Cycle after cycle, so even while she was in deep sleep, she was still constantly progressing.

Only this time, there was a small problem; nothing else, just that this body was too strong.

She had not anticipated that the other could actually accept the inheritance of an expert. And that was an expert whose strength was not much weaker than her own, clearly an expert who had already exceeded the category of ordinary old monsters.

Although this person had died, the majority of their power had remained within the body and was passed on to this current body.

This also led to the fact that although the other was her avatar, she had the ability to resist her.

Originally, this awakening matter would at most take her three to five days to adapt to; it was nothing at all.

But it was precisely to counter and wear down the other's autonomous consciousness that she had gone into seclusion for so many years.

Until now, the Great Contention Era was about to begin, which forced her to end her seclusion.

But at this moment, an obsession remained in her heart; that was an obsession that could erupt at any time, causing her to fall into a passive state or even total ruin.

The original Gu Yutong had been framed by her own master; the master she held closest turned into a vicious wolf and directly cast her down into the dust.

Having no home to begin with, she ended up losing her master as well; she had nothing left, and her whole person had nearly lost all hope.

And Shen Yu's appearance had provided her with an emotional anchor; for this man who had saved her and given her hope, her feelings were far greater than Shen Yu's own.

Deep within her lonely heart, she had always wanted a home, a plain but real home, and this final bit of hope was pinned on Shen Yu.

Therefore, after she came out of seclusion, she was the first one to find Shen Yu.

It was just a man; with her own charm, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes to handle him?

Isn't it just wanting a home, isn't it just wanting to get married? That's easy to handle.

Wait for the body's obsession to vanish, wait until she has completely taken control of this body, then devour the other party clean, leaving nothing behind.

In fact, as early as over a month ago, he had already found Shen Yu and had been quietly observing him from afar, only the other party did not know any of this.

She watched with her own eyes as Shen Yu easily killed several old monsters; he was so strong that he didn't seem like an expert who had just emerged in the new era at all, but rather stronger than most old monsters.

Of course, such strength meant nothing to her; people like them had long since surpassed the level of old monsters.

Those so-called old monsters would be affected by Spirit Qi, and in the end, they would all turn into heartless machines that only knew how to kill.

They were different; they had long since transcended and were no longer comparable to these old monsters.

However, when facing Shen Yu, she still hesitated; these Heavenly Prides were not only powerful, but what was even more terrifying was their luck, which was so good it made one doubt life.

Counterattacking from a desperate situation, striking back on the verge of death—they played these tricks more skillfully than anyone.

Therefore, to finish them off, one must be absolutely certain of success.

Precisely because of this, she had to secretly tamper with things and incite those pieces of trash to kill Shen Yu, just to force him to circulate his internal energy to kill.

And as long as he circulated his energy, her little tricks would rapidly spread and invade his entire body along with his cultivation, causing him to fall in a short amount of time.

The whole plan went very smoothly, it was just that the preparation time was a bit long; she didn't want it to be this troublesome either.

If there is anyone to blame, it's that those old monsters were all killed to the point where not even a shadow could be seen; otherwise, why would she go to such lengths to gather these pieces of trash? It was simply a waste of time.
