417. Chapter 417: Who Wants You, This Scoundrel, to Take Responsibility!

Youji Nuhuang stared blankly at Su Chen, and for some reason, she actually felt her scalp tingle.

A sense of fear welled up from within, and even her body couldn't help but tremble.

Youji Nuhuang was frightened by this realization; one must know that she had dominated Nanman for many years, and even the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor could not bring her such terrifying pressure.

Those eyes were too cold and ruthless.

Youji Nuhuang did not doubt for a moment that if she did not act according to Su Chen's wishes, he would take crazy revenge on her without the slightest hesitation.

Thinking of this, Youji Nuhuang's expression became unnatural.

She subconsciously pursed her lips, attempting to conceal her fear.

At this very moment, Youming Nuhuang suddenly thought of what Ziwei Xianzi had said—that Su Chen was the reincarnation of the Divine Dragon Great Emperor.

Could this unremarkable man before her really be the reincarnation of the Divine Dragon Great Emperor? Seeing Youji Nuhuang still able to let her mind wander at such a time, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.

His voice was very low, and not much emotion could be heard in it.

"Things have come to this; I am the blade and the cutting board, and you are the fish and the meat. Do you still have the mood to be distracted?"

Su Chen said thoughtfully, his voice very soft, as if speaking to himself.

Before Youji Nuhuang could even fathom what his words meant, she saw Su Chen suddenly raise his hand.

In broad daylight, Su Chen moved quickly, uncovering Youji Nuhuang's veil with lightning speed.

A stunningly beautiful face was instantly exposed to the air.

The black veil fell onto the back of Su Chen's hand; her crimson lips moved unconsciously, her nose bridge was high, and her skin was as white as snow, with almost no flaws.

The two were so close that not even a single pore could be seen.

A pair of tender, watery, affectionate eyes; as her gaze shifted, it seemed to hold ten thousand kinds of charm, and a mole at the corner of her eye bewitched all living things, adding a beautiful touch—the finishing stroke.

Her eyes, shining like obsidian, were filled with helplessness, and her chin was still being pinched by Su Chen; she looked as if she were stunned.

Who could have imagined that Youji Nuhuang, whom outsiders called a snake-hearted woman, actually possessed such a face that could bewitch all living things—half seductive, half naive, charming yet not lacking in purity.

Youji Nuhuang immediately used her hand to block her face.

Su Chen also hadn't expected such a peerless beauty to be beneath the veil; he knew Youji Nuhuang was beautiful, but he hadn't expected her to look like this.

While he was stunned, Youji Nuhuang took the opportunity to break free from his restraint, her body shrinking back with all her might until her back hit the wall, with nowhere left to retreat, only then did she stop.

Her eyes were flustered, and she covered her face in bewilderment; her small face was flushed red, and even the tips of her ears were a tender pink.

What to do, what to do, her face had been seen by a strange man.

Youji Nuhuang was completely at a loss.

Su Chen came back to his senses and was very dissatisfied with Youji Nuhuang's resistance; he forcefully pinched Youji Nuhuang's chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.

Upon entering his view, he collided with a pair of tender, watery eyes, with a few tears still hanging in their corners, and her white teeth were unconsciously biting her crimson lips.

Looking at her, she appeared three parts helpless and three parts seductive; looking closely, Su Chen actually detected a hint of grievance.

"It was just uncovering your veil, is such a big reaction necessary? If you really feel unbalanced in your heart, at worst I'll just let you see mine back."

Su Chen turned his face away somewhat unnaturally, beginning to reflect on whether he had gone too far.

Youji Nuhuang had bitterness she couldn't speak of, her heart full of misery; after a long while, she gritted her teeth and said.

"There is a rule in our clan: the first man to see my true face is my future true love." Speaking of this, she was filled with shame and anger, and her cheeks burned; if there were a crack in the ground right now, she would have loved to crawl into it on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen was amused.

He stared straight at Youji Nuhuang, his gaze carrying an extremely strong sense of aggression, his voice hoarse: "So, you're planning on making me take responsibility?"

"Who wants you, this scoundrel, to take responsibility!" Youji Nuhuang was furious and immediately retorted.

"Oh? It seems you really want others to see your appearance, you're so impatient."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Youji Nuhuang became anxious instantly.

She could accept dying because she couldn't beat Su Chen, but she absolutely could not accept suffering such humiliation after her death.

If her ancestors were to know, it would be an utter disgrace! Thinking of this, Youji Nuhuang said indignantly: "You despicable villain! You certainly have a glib tongue; no wonder you can make so many people believe you're impersonating the Divine Dragon Great Emperor!"

Su Chen couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

"How do you know that this Young Master is faking being the Divine Dragon Great Emperor?"

Su Chen suddenly leaned close to Youji Nuhuang, exhaling unconsciously, his faint breath scattering onto Youji Nuhuang's face.

Youji Nuhuang's face felt itchy; at such a close distance, she could even see the fine downy hair on Su Chen's face.

"The Divine Dragon Great Emperor is an omnipotent existence in the Immortal World, and even more so the dream lover of countless female immortals; he acts in an upright and honorable manner, how could he be a shameless villain like you who only knows how to play dirty tricks in the dark!"

Youji Nuhuang snorted coldly, seemingly to cover up her own desire, her words tit-for-tat.

"Stereotypes are not good."

Su Chen smiled, unconcerned by what she said, "I am only the reincarnation of the Divine Dragon Great Emperor, not the Divine Dragon Great Emperor of the previous life, so naturally, it is different."

Youji Nuhuang was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute him.

This was Su Chen's formidable point; regardless of whether there was logic to it or not, his mouth could turn black into white and white into black.

Since she couldn't win the argument anyway, Youji Nuhuang simply gave up, keeping her mouth tightly shut and saying nothing at all.

But just because she wasn't talking didn't mean Su Chen wasn't.

Su Chen immediately said: "Since you don't believe me, then I shall prove it to you."

As his voice fell, Su Chen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, golden light flowed within them; he shed his usual devil-may-care attitude and truly gained a bit of sacred solemnity.

Youji Nuhuang was still curious about what kind of tricks Su Chen could pull, and couldn't help but look over in confusion.

Just at this moment, the originally very spacious room suddenly became crowded; golden light burst forth, and from behind Su Chen, a majestic five-clawed golden dragon suddenly appeared.

That golden dragon said nothing, its eyes as large as copper bells staring fixedly at Youji Nuhuang, its tail swaying continuously, like a true superior looking down upon the ants below.

For some reason, Youming Nuhuang even felt her breathing quicken, her eyes fixed intently on the Divine Dragon Martial Soul before her.

"You—you..."

She stuttered "you" for a long time, but could not say a single useful word.

After all, even though the Great Emperor had fallen for hundreds of thousands of years, there were still those who knew that anyone possessing the Divine Dragon Martial Soul must be the Great Emperor himself or his reincarnation. (End of this chapter)
