Chapter 1712: Big Brother's Woman
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden had actually found her way to Kongling Island. It seemed she already knew that he had an extraordinary relationship with Feng Yan.
This woman must be searching for him everywhere because of the divine spring.
However, most of the divine spring he had obtained was given to the Heavenly Beginning Celestial Maiden. Zhang Ruochen only had nearly ten thousand drops of divine spring left on him. This amount of divine spring probably wouldn't satisfy the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden's appetite.
When the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden asked about the whereabouts of the one hundred thousand drops of divine spring, how would Zhang Ruochen explain it?
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen had no intention of giving her all the remaining divine spring. He planned to keep it for his own use.
But in that case, how could he obtain Xumi Saint Monk's long beard from the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden and learn the location of Xumi Saint Monk's Nirvana place?
Thinking of Xumi Saint Monk's long beard, Zhang Ruochen's heartbeat quickened slightly.
For someone who had reached Xumi Saint Monk's level, rules must have been integrated into every part of his body. A single long beard would likely contain a large number of rules, including time rules and space rules.
In other words, as long as Zhang Ruochen obtained that long beard, he could directly observe time rules and space rules, thereby rapidly improving his cultivation.
At least at the current stage, that long beard was enough to support Zhang Ruochen's cultivation.
Zhang Ruochen rubbed his chin with his fingers, thinking carefully about how to avoid handing over the divine spring while still taking the long beard from the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden.
Maybe he could just snatch it...
The two were destined to be mortal enemies, so why talk about righteousness? Even the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden herself had declared that before Zhang Ruochen broke through to the Great Saint realm, she would kill him and seize the Truth Esoterica within his body.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen had no courtesy toward the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden at all.
This woman came from a powerful family. She was so wealthy that she had nothing but endless resources and treasures. It was the perfect opportunity to rob the rich to help himself.
"No."
Zhang Ruochen immediately shook his head.
Not to mention the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden's own formidable strength, the Big Beard and Blind Man by her side were both tough opponents. Zhang Ruochen probably couldn't defeat them now.
If he tried to snatch it by force, there was an eighty or ninety percent chance of failure, and it would only put himself in danger.
Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan saw that Zhang Ruochen hadn't answered for a long time. Instead, his face showed moments of joy, then moments of frowning, and finally he even laughed to himself.
The two exchanged glances and nodded slightly, as if saying to each other: "It seems Big Brother really did sleep with the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden."
Feng Yan made a "tsk tsk" sound, extremely admiring, and said, "Big Brother is indeed Big Brother. Conquering the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden is a strategic victory."
"Among the various ancient civilizations, the Thousand Star Civilization is definitely in the top three. It has deep foundations, numerous gods standing tall, and even the Heavenly Palace has to be wary of it. And the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden can be called the most top-tier genius of this era from the Thousand Star Civilization. She is also a Source Controller. It can be said that she will definitely become the Heavenly Empress of the Thousand Star Civilization in the future, ruling over an entire civilization."
"The divine sons and leaders of various major worlds in the Heavenly Court realm, the heavenly sons of various ancient civilizations, and even the rebellious heroes of the Hell Realm all want to marry her, thereby establishing an unbreakable alliance with the Thousand Star Civilization."
"If Big Brother can formally marry the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden, it will bring countless benefits to both the Guanghan Realm and the Kunlun Realm. Even if it's not a formal marriage, just spreading this news would be enough to make many old-timers anxious."
Then, Feng Yan continued, "However, after the news of Lin Yue and the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden's car shaking spread, Lin Yue has become a target of public criticism. Even though the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden personally denied the matter, those proud talents pursuing her are still furious. Many have already declared they will fight Lin Yue to the death. Among them is one of your old acquaintances, the new leader of the Ruiya Realm, Wang Xu."
"Fortunately, they only know Lin Yue, not Zhang Ruochen. Otherwise, this Kongling Island would probably be in turmoil."
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "So many people already know about my relationship with you?"
"This matter is not hard to investigate."
After a pause, Feng Yan added, "It's very likely that the cultivators of the Heavenly Realm faction have already guessed that the mysterious space cultivator who caused slaughter with Third Brother at the Fengshen Platform is you."
Zhang Ruochen didn't care. His enemies were already countless, so he didn't mind adding another batch.
As for marrying the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden to gain the support of the Thousand Star Civilization, Zhang Ruochen hadn't even thought about it. If he really did that, he would end up with nothing in the end. Instead, the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden would devour him like a sacred fruit.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the crane and blue sky robe on Feng Yan, his eyes lighting up, and he smiled, "When did Second Brother become a Divine Inheritor Disciple?"
"It's just a Divine Inheritor Disciple. Becoming one of the top ten Divine Inheritor Disciples would be truly impressive."
Suddenly, Feng Yan's expression turned serious, and he said, "I received news that a major upheaval is likely to occur in the Kunlun Realm soon. What are Big Brother's plans?"
Xiang Chunan obviously already knew some things about Zhang Ruochen. In a gruff voice, he said, "Since Big Brother has joined the Guanghan Realm, don't bother with the messy affairs of the Kunlun Realm. Whether it changes or not, the most important thing is to be free and unrestrained yourself."
Zhang Ruochen fell silent. The Kunlun Realm was inextricably linked to him. If the Kunlun Realm suffered a calamity, how could he possibly stay out of it?
Just like those subjects of the Sacred Bright Empire who refused to enter the Qiankun Realm. They knew that staying in the Kunlun Realm might bring retaliation and oppression, but they still chose to stay. That feeling of being born and raised there was too hard to let go.
It's hard to leave one's homeland.
Where a person is born is the most precious place.
Just then, a rumbling sound rang out. The ground trembled slightly, and in an instant, all the defensive formations on Kongling Island were activated.
"What happened? Did the assassins from the Heavenly Killing Organization come again?"
Feng Yan's eyes darkened, and a strong anger emanated from his body.
"Tap tap."
Urgent footsteps sounded.
A maidservant hurried in and said, "Reporting to the young master, the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden has come again..."
"Zhang Ruochen, get out here, this Celestial Maiden knows you're inside." The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden's voice rang out, getting closer and closer.
"Celestial Maiden, this is Kongling Island, the cultivation secret mansion of Divine Inheritor Disciple Feng Xi..."
"This Celestial Maiden doesn't care whose cultivation secret mansion it is. If Zhang Ruochen doesn't come out to see me today, I'll storm in and tear down this Kongling Island."
Then the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden actually launched an attack, striking out bolts of lightning that bombarded the defensive light shield of Kongling Island, causing the island to tremble incessantly.
"She came really fast." Zhang Ruochen sighed.
Feng Yan frowned and stared deeply at Zhang Ruochen, saying, "Big Brother, are you planning to abandon her after using her? Is that why you angered the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden?"
Xiang Chunan rubbed his head and said, "This is hard to handle. Big Brother already has Sister Lingxi as his wife, so of course he can't marry that fierce woman, the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden. Big Brother, how about you use the Space Teleportation Array to escape?"
"It's useless. The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden must have already sealed the space." Zhang Ruochen said.
Xiang Chunan said, "Then what do we do? Do I have to step in and blast her away? But... she is Big Brother's woman after all. How can I bring myself to do it?"
"How about hiding first? With the defensive formation of Kongling Island, even if the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden has heaven-defying abilities, she probably can't break through." Feng Yan said.
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it. I have to face her eventually. Since she's already found me, I'll meet her."
The defensive formation of Kongling Island was deactivated.
The veiled Thousand Star Celestial Maiden stormed into the island with an air of coming to demand an explanation.
Big Beard and Blind Man followed behind her. Soon, the three arrived outside the pavilion.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen sitting in the pavilion drinking, the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden's anger flared even more. She said willfully, "All irrelevant people, get out of here."
The maidservants and disciples in the courtyard all looked at Feng Yan.
Feng Yan waved his hand lightly, and they withdrew from the courtyard.
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden walked into the pavilion, her almond-shaped eyes sweeping over Xiang Chunan and Feng Yan. She said coldly, "Didn't you hear what this Celestial Maiden said? Get out."
"Smack!"
Xiang Chunan slammed his wine glass heavily onto the ground, stood up, and glared at the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden.
"What are you looking at? I'm talking about you two. This Celestial Maiden wants to speak with Zhang Ruochen alone and doesn't want irrelevant people present. Tianhuang, Dihuang, clear the area."
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden was domineering, looking at Xiang Chunan and Feng Yan as if they were two ants.
Big Beard and Blind Man flashed and appeared in front of her. A powerful and unmatched sacred might erupted from each of them.
Xiang Chunan showed no sign of weakness. He took out his metal demon crown, ready to fight Tianhuang and Dihuang.
Feng Yan quickly stopped Xiang Chunan, pulling him out of the pavilion, and said, "Forget it, forget it. She's Big Brother's woman. Why bother arguing with her? Let them settle their own matters."
Hearing the words "Big Brother's woman," the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden's mouth twitched, and then she ground her teeth incessantly, wishing she could drag Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan back and give them a good beating.
Zhang Ruochen remained calm and composed, sitting on the stone bench drinking.
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden said coldly, "Zhang Ruochen, do you have any shame? What exactly have you been spouting nonsense about in front of them?"
"I haven't said anything." Zhang Ruochen said.
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden suppressed the anger in her heart, sat down across from Zhang Ruochen, and said, "Speak. After the Fengshen Platform assembly ended, why didn't you meet with this Celestial Maiden immediately?"
Zhang Ruochen said, "Don't you know I entered the Truth Divine Temple to cultivate?"
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden's forehead showed black lines, and she said, "Fine. This Celestial Maiden won't pursue this matter anymore. Take out all the divine spring you obtained."
"On what grounds?" Zhang Ruochen said.
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden said, "You were invited by this Celestial Maiden to seize the divine spring. We agreed to cooperate, and I even gave you sacred fruits and sacred medicines in advance to help you break through your realm. Are you trying to go back on your word now?"
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, "We did cooperate for a while. You gave me sacred fruits and sacred medicines to help me break through my realm, but I also broke through the space barrier for your ancient civilization faction. As for obtaining the divine spring, I succeeded by cooperating with someone else. What does that have to do with you, Celestial Maiden?"
A cold light flashed in the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden's beautiful eyes, but it quickly retracted, replaced by a smile. "Don't you want Xumi Saint Monk's long beard? Don't you want to know where Xumi Saint Monk's Nirvana place is?"
"If the Celestial Maiden is willing to tell, I am all ears." Zhang Ruochen smiled.
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden said, "You're thinking too beautifully. Hurry up and take out the divine spring to trade."
