Chapter 398

Xu Chen nodded—he actually knew this.

When she had chased him down in his previous life, this girl hadn't said a single word for two whole months.

Just how severe must her social anxiety be to reach that level?

After thinking it over, he finally said, "Fine then, follow me. If you want to leave, you can go anytime—I won't stop you."

Zhen Yiyi shook her head like a rattle-drum: "I-I won't, I-I'd rather die than leave." As she spoke, a trace of delight and joy actually flickered across her brow.

Xun Yan sighed; this was the first time he'd ever seen such an expression in his junior sister's eyes.

It seemed Xu Chen really was her favorite person. Xu Chen continued, "Let me say this first—although that pile of women beside me aren't mine,

if you get upset because of it, I won't necessarily step in." The crowd bared their teeth—what kind of beastly remark was that?

Still, they rather wanted to experience that feeling themselves.

Too bad—there was no chance; they really didn't have twenty-plus women.

And every single one a peerless beauty, blessed with rare looks and extraordinary strength.

At this moment they could only envy, resent, and hate—and nothing else. Zhen Yiyi nodded rapidly: "Okay!"

For a moment, she was overjoyed, ecstatic beyond measure.

Even her eyes, looking at Xu Chen, were full of starlight.

She even blushed as she gazed at him, no one knew what was going on in her head.

Xu Chen nodded, secretly thinking that this arc's plot was about wrapped up.

He looked toward the surrounding forces: "Is there anyone else who wants the Snake Emperor's blood?" The corners of those factions' mouths twitched at once.

They wanted it, but could he actually give it?

Guo Yun had nearly been wiped out—if they spoke up now, wouldn't that be a clean-cut path to death?

With Zhen Yiyi's Tianfeng Body, probably no one on site could beat her.

But then, behind Zhen Yiyi, a streak of white light suddenly appeared.

Accompanying it was an aura of overwhelming power.

This aura seemed to be around the Nine Turns level.

The crowd was shocked—"Whose aura is that? Yiyi!"

From within the light, a woman's voice rang out. Zhen Yiyi heard it and hurriedly said, "Holy Lord."

Xun Yan and Guo Yun at the side both spoke up: "We pay respects to the Holy Lord." The crowd understood—was this the Holy Lord of Yaoguang Holy Land?

Damn, just this light alone is at Nine Turns.

Could it be that the Holy Lord's strength…

They didn't dare guess, but they could vaguely imagine.

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang Holy Land—how could her strength possibly be weak? The Holy Lord's actual appearance couldn't be seen; she merely said coolly, "You needn't leave Yaoguang Holy Land. If you want to come back, come back anytime.

This contest for the Heavenly Snake Empress's blood was the Great Elder's doing alone, not my order." Zhen Yiyi nodded: "Yes, Holy Lord, but I probably won't be coming back." The Holy Lord said, "It doesn't matter. Come back and you're still the Saintess—the position is kept for you. I watched you grow up; I won't abandon you without cause." Zhen Yiyi said, moved, "Thank you, Holy Lord." Xu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly; he remembered that the Yaoguang Holy Lord also seemed to be one of the female leads.

In any case, the original had over a hundred female leads, and he remembered every one.

This Yaoguang Holy Lord specialized in light-attribute Cultivation Methods—the Great Emperor Brightness Body.

This constitution was extraordinary, ranked in the top ten on the Gold Ranking.

That's why she was now shrouded in light—because she disliked being seen. Xun Yan hurried to speak, trying to salvage things: "Holy Lord, my junior sister, she…"

The Holy Lord cut Xun Yan off: "I am already aware. Let her go." The corner of Xun Yan's mouth twitched—but that wasn't what the Holy Land's holy rules said!

Junior sister doing this and not being expelled was a bit ridiculous.

The previous Saintess who had committed such an offense had already been stripped of her position as Saintess.

But thinking about it, this was good—it benefited junior sister.

Guo Yun bared his teeth—nothing happened even after this?

Ridiculous!

The crowd clicked their tongues inwardly—this Holy Lord was a bit protective, like a mother.

So according to the plot that followed, the Holy Lord should now scold Xu Chen a few times.

After all, like a mother, her daughter had been taken away—wouldn't she have to say something to the son-in-law? But then, the Holy Lord was silent for a moment, then said coolly, "I should be going." The crowd: "???" Such a broad mind?
