Chapter 1330: G.o.d-swallowing Bug

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

“We’re all Sword Keepers of the Pluto Sword Tomb,” Martial Saint Canglan said. “You should know why I took Zhu Qingyi away. I lost the Fentian Sword, so it’s my duty to take it back.”

“You wanting to take the Fentian Sword is your own matter,” Zhang Ruochen said. “But Zhu Qingyi is my prisoner. Of course, she’s in your hands now, so you have the right not to return her to me.”

Whoos.h.!.+

The Abyss Ancient Sword flew out, hovering before Zhang Ruochen. The densely packed sword-shaped Qi stood in organized rows, pointing at Martial Saint Canglan.

The two had faced enemies together before, so Zhang Ruochen gave her a chance to compromise. However, now they stood against each other. There was no need to be as polite as before.

The six Saintesses grew nervous too. To be honest, they didn’t want Zhang Ruochen to become an enemy, let alone be in a kill or be killed situation.

Martial Saint Canglan’s eyes flashed. Hesitation filled her eyes. “Zhang Ruochen, we’re not enemies. Why are you doing this?”

“You’re the one who attacked first,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Okay, I can return Zhu Qingyi to you, but you must promise me that you’ll take me with you when going against Situ Fengcheng.”

Martial Saint Canglan guessed Zhang Ruochen’s true motive, so she decided to negotiate with him early on.

“You should at least show your sincerity if you want to work with me.”

“I already agreed to return the person,” Martial Saint Canglan said. “Isn’t that sincere enough.”

“Apologize,” Zhang Ruochen said coldly.

Martial Saint Canglan worked to suppress her anger. “Your request is too much!”

“Is it too much? We’ve fought together against enemies. If you were anyone else, I wouldn’t waste so much time talking. I wouldn’t give them another chance to work together either.”

Martial Saint Canglan stared at Zhang Ruochen with her almond eyes, acting like she would eat him. She just wouldn’t lower herself and apologize.

Qing Mo had been forced back by Martial Saint Canglan, but she wasn’t hurt. She went back to Zhang Ruochen’s side and sent him a message.

“Lord, she’s the head of the Nine Heavenly Maidens. She has high authority and spirit. Who can make her bow her head, other than the Empress?”

“You think my request is too much as well?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Qing Mo nodded firmly. “It’s impossible to make her apologize,” she said telepathically. “We have many enemies right now. We shouldn’t create more.”

In the distance, Martial Saint Canglan took a deep breath. Clenching her white teeth, she said, “Zhang Ruochen, you win. I will give in this time, but I won’t repay you any other favors. Don’t try to ask me for help if you’re arrested by the imperial court.”

Then Martial Saint Canglan walked to Zhang Ruochen. Eyes burning with fire, she threw Zhu Qingyi onto the ground. Turning her beautiful face, she stared at the wall on the right.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have attacked you secretly and taken your prisoner.”

Qing Mo and the six Saintesses were all dumbfounded. They never would’ve guessed that Martial Saint Canglan would give in and apologize to Zhang Ruochen.

No one would believe this if news spread.

“I don’t see your sincerity,” Zhang Ruochen said. “I don’t accept your apology.”

“Don’t push me. We’re so close right now. Do you think I can’t capture you now and turn you into a prisoner too?”

Martial Saint Canglan clenched her fists and bit her teeth. Her body seemed to burn like a furnace.

Right now, she was only three steps away from Zhang Ruochen. This was no distance for a Saint. If she really tried, she was confident in capturing Zhang Ruochen.

“You might not be able to capture me, no matter how close.”

Zhang Ruochen was even more confident. Showing no fear, he instead took three steps forward.

The two were even closer now. They were only a fist away. The curves on Martial Saint Canglan’s chest were almost pressed against Zhang Ruochen.

Neither of them stepped back. They both had sharp personalities.

Qing Mo and the six Saintesses held their breath, staring closely at the two. They had a feeling that a huge battle was imminent.

The two were at a stalemate for a long while. Martial Saint Canglan’s eyes hardened. She seemed to be considering something.

In the end, she didn’t take the risk. Collecting the flames outside her body, she said, “The human race has problems both inside and out. It’s not the time for more internal conflicts. We should work together and face out. I’m sorry. I indeed acted wrongly this time. After all, we once faced mutual enemies. I shouldn’t have attacked secretly no matter what. Even if we fight, we should do it face-to-face.”

Zhang Ruochen turned around and walked toward the formation s.h.i.+eld. “If this happens again, I won’t forgive you.”

From childhood to now, Martial Saint Canglan had always crushed everyone around her with her powerful abilities. She never submitted to anyone, including her brother, who was first on the Five Heroes List.

Today, because of various reasons, she was suppressed for the first time. For the first time ever, she was forced to lower herself. She obviously wasn’t happy about this.
