Chapter 103

Zhao Qiying struck with her sword, but the light barrier didn't budge an inch, not even a ripple.

Seeing this, Zhao Qiying was completely reassured, and immediately intensified her attack, even bringing out the shadow version of "Dugu Nine Swords" that Jiang Sishui had taught her.

Yet no matter how her sword rained down like a downpour, Huang Rong remained perfectly still, completely unharmed.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Sishui believed it!

Although he was deeply shocked inside.

He hadn't expected Huang Rong to have such fortune, to have picked up such a fine treasure.

Still, he didn't think to attribute it to the system.

Because divine artifacts did exist in this world — the founding monarchs of the Six Great Dynasties had all obtained them, and he himself had picked up a fragment of "Ten Directions Annihilation" when he came to Leigu Mountain, so why couldn't others do the same?

But if that were the case, perhaps the number of divine artifact holders in the Central Domain was greater than he imagined; these people simply hadn't revealed themselves for various reasons, just like Huang Rong.

Of course, it was also because the "Kunji Seal" didn't exist in any work from his previous life, so Jiang Sishui didn't overthink it at all.

Huang Rong was very pleased with Jiang Sishui's reaction and said smugly, "Well? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Jiang Sishui came back to his senses, nodded, and asked, "Rong'er, are there any restrictions on using this seal?"

"Restrictions?" Huang Rong's eyes rolled, and she said, "Yes, there is — you can only write women's names, not men's."

Can't write men, only women?

Jiang Sishui was taken aback — what kind of bizarre rule was this?

But upon seeing the phoenix pattern engraved on the seal, he suddenly felt it was only natural.

Ah, what a pity!

Otherwise he would have brazenly asked Huang Rong to add his name along with the others.

But although she couldn't write his name, however...

Jiang Sishui couldn't help but look toward Zhao Qiying.

Then he heard Huang Rong say, "Also, I don't know if there's a limit on the number of names. Before, I only wrote mine and my mother's, and today I added the four of them."

Jiang Sishui raised an eyebrow, turned his head, and saw Huang Rong smiling radiantly at him, as if she could see right through his thoughts.

Jiang Sishui couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart: "Good, thank you, Rong'er."

Seeing that Jiang Sishui believed her, Huang Rong quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

When introducing the seal's functions earlier, she had been afraid Jiang Sishui wouldn't believe her and would insist on testing it himself, so she had spoken up first and had Zhao Qiying attack her.

The reason was simply that Jiang Sishui was the diary's owner, and the seal rewarded by the system had no effect on him.

Now that the test was passed, she was naturally at ease.

After the meal, Jiang Sishui continued writing in his diary.

Without dawdling, he opened with the matter of "Hegemony's Imperial Map" and the "Kunji Seal."

The women were stunned speechless.

This had to be a divine artifact, right?

No, even a divine artifact might not be this useful.

Being able to teleport anywhere he'd been — didn't this mean that as long as Jiang Sishui spent a bit of time circling the Central Domain, the Four Seas and Twenty-Eight Provinces would all become his "back garden"?

At the same time, they finally understood just how valuable Huang Rong's reward had been.

But the one who benefited wasn't only Huang Rong — it was all of them!

Yunzhou, Yihua Palace.

A strange look crossed Seeing Yao Yue's cold, beautiful face as she murmured, "So it wasn't because of the diary copy, but the 'Kunji Seal.'"

East Sea, on a ship sailing toward the Central Domain.

Liu Sheng Piaoxu suddenly turned to Liu Sheng Xueji: "Sister, try striking me with a palm."

Liu Sheng Xueji deliberated for a moment, gave a slight nod of her lovely head, then struck Liu Sheng Piaoxu's left shoulder with a palm that was neither light nor heavy.

The palm wind rushed toward her face, and Liu Sheng Piaoxu forcibly suppressed her instinct to dodge.

The result didn't disappoint them — a layer of light barrier blocked the palm.

Liu Sheng Xueji's eyes shone with an unusual brilliance as she kept increasing her palm force, yet she still couldn't break through the defense.

Liu Sheng Piaoxu said excitedly, "It's real! Sister, we don't have to be afraid of the Godless Palace anymore!"

"Yes, no need to be afraid anymore." Liu Sheng Xueji also smiled sincerely.

"Then are we still going to the Central Domain?"

"The jianghu is dangerous, but now that we're safe and sound, wouldn't it be a pity not to go see it for ourselves? However..."

"What?"

"But before that, we need to go back first. The Godless Palace... I hope they won't go too far."

【What a pity the seal can't have my name written on it, otherwise I'd have double protection — who'd I need to fear?】

【Huh? Suddenly a bold idea】

【If in the future another Heavenly Being comes after me, couldn't I just pull Rong'er over and have her block in front? Wouldn't the effect be the same?】

"Pfft!"

Huang Rong, who had been rinsing her mouth after the meal, sprayed out a mouthful of water, clutched her chest, and broke into a violent coughing fit.

114 The person who breathes through their skin, the soul bridge

Wang Yuyan and the other three women couldn't help but press their lips together and giggle at the sight.

This laughter only added fuel to the fire, making Huang Rong gnash her teeth in fury: "That bastard!"

She never could have imagined that after she revealed the existence of the "Kunji Seal," the first thing Jiang Sishui thought of was using her as a "human shield"!

Just because she could take a beating?

Although what he said wasn't entirely unreasonable, as the person in question, Huang Rong found it increasingly awkward to hear no matter how she listened.

And yet this guy kept claiming over and over that he loved her the most!

Seeing the four women still snickering, Huang Rong grew even angrier.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw more writing appear on the diary—

【Small-minded, too small-minded!】

【How could Rong'er alone be enough? If I pull Qiying, Yuyan, Ah Zhu, and Ah Bi up to the front to block, wouldn't that give me six layers of defense?】

【Hiss—even a ghost would have a headache seeing that!】

The four women: "..."

Alright, this time no one could laugh at anyone else—it was they who had underestimated Jiang Sishui's thick skin.

The women reading the diary each had different expressions on their faces. This guy really was a clever little imp.

But from a rational standpoint, they had to admit, this really was a good idea!

Still, would Jiang Sishui really dare to do something so 300?

They thought it over and decided it was more likely he was just running his mouth.

【Forget it, it's fine to just think about this sort of thing in your heart, no need to use it unless absolutely necessary】

【Setting everything else aside, it's just too embarrassing!】

【Once I'm invincible in the future, won't this become my dark history?】

【And with the protection of the Imperial Seal, I won't have to worry about them being captured and used to threaten me in the future】

【Being able to act without restraint, this feeling is just exhilarating!】

【However, how should I trick Rong'er into adding a few more names up top?】

【Mm, I'll have to think of a way】

Seeing this, Huang Rong couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What on earth was the reason that made Jiang Sishui think time and again that she was easy to fool?

【Today I'll teach Qiying, Ah Zhu, and Ah Bi the "Northern Nether Divine Art," and in a couple of days I'll teach the five of them "Lingbo Weixue"】

【Although with the "Kunji Imperial Seal," they won't be bullied anymore, just that alone isn't enough—they also need the ability to bully others】

【Otherwise when they run into trouble in the future, they still won't be able to do anything, so Wu Gong can't be neglected】

【Right, Rong'er somehow tricked a Lightness Skill called "Treading Moon and Leaving Fragrance" from Chu Chu Liuxiang (chdh) and wants to teach it to me】

【I took a look, and it's still not as good as "Lingbo Weixue," but since Rong'er meant well, naturally I wouldn't refuse】

【Speaking of which, I have to mention one of Chu Chu Liuxiang's secrets】

【Whether in stories or reality, Chu Chu Liuxiang's Lightness Skill being superb is well known—it's the means he relies on to survive and fight enemies】

【Because of this, many people assume it's because the grade of the Lightness Skill he learned is high, but that's only one aspect】

【The more important reason is that Chu Chu Liuxiang's skin can breathe!】
