Chapter 1598 - The Identity of the Man in Gold (1/2)

After walking out of Yin and Yang Palace, both Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin were relieved.

Ji Fanxin looked at Zhang Ruochen and apologized. “Sorry. It isn’t that I didn’t want to ambush Queen Lian, but there’s almost no chance for us to get out of Yin and Yang Palace. It isn’t worth the risk.”

Zhang Ruochen looked solemn. He didn’t say a word because he was in a bad mood.

One of the reasons was that Ji Fanxin didn’t help him when he needed it the most, but the bigger reason was that he had realized the gap between him and great beings like Queen Lian. He didn’t even stand a chance against her, no matter how many trump cards he had.

Their cultivations were too different.

Zhang Ruochen’s greatest enemy, Shang Ziyan, was at least as powerful as Queen Lian, if not stronger.

Fortunately, he was cautious enough after coming to Truth Heavenly Domain, otherwise, he would be powerless if he ran into Shang Ziyan.

“I must become a saint king as soon as possible.”

Zhang Ruochen felt that time was pressuring him.

Ji Fanxin didn’t know what Zhang Ruochen was thinking of, and she still thought he looked so serious because of Queen Lian.

After a while, she took a rectangular box out of her s.p.a.ce bracelet and handed it to Zhang Ruochen. “It was my fault this time, and I owe you a huge favor. This is a Masculine Flower that’s fifty thousand years old. It should make up your masculine Qi once you refine it.”

Zhang Ruochen stopped thinking by himself after hearing that. He saw Ji Fanxin looking at him with comfort and concern, which suppressed his anger completely.

No wonder she’s a young leader of a large field. She has so many treasures.

A Masculine Flower that was fifty thousand years old was very rare, and it was tremendously valuable, which could help Zhang Ruochen refine the eleventh palm of Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm.

Zhang Ruochen took the rectangular box and put it in his s.p.a.ce ring. He then said, “Not so fast. Queen Lian received a message before she could start. She said it was someone prominent. Do you know who that is?”

Ji Fanxin thought for a bit and said, “It’s got to be someone exceptional if Queen Lian took it so seriously. I need to go check who’s come to Heavenly Saint Market.”

Suddenly, Ji Fanxin looked to Zhang Ruochen and said, “Why did you take my Masculine Flower if your masculine Qi wasn’t absorbed?”

Zhang Ruochen had no intention of giving the flower back. He said, “Why did you give them a Six-Yao Ten Thousand Patterns Saint Weapon, Water Moon Saint Cup knowing I’m going to attack Yin and Yang Palace? Didn’t you just make them stronger?”

Ji Fanxin felt sorry about what she did to Zhang Ruochen. She didn’t keep asking for the Masculine Flower back. Instead, she said, “I messed with Water Moon Saint Cup so that Queen Lian won’t be able to refine it in a short time. It’ll take her at least three years to completely have Water Moon Saint Cup under her control. And, if she isn’t careful enough, the trick I did to Water Moon Saint Cup will injure her seriously.”

Zhang Ruochen was thrilled.

Ji Fanxin had fully prepared before going to Yin and Yang Palace, and she had some skills and tricks.

She behaved that way in Yin and Yang Palace probably because of how much she hated that place. Also, she really cared about Queen Danling’s safety.

After all, Ji Fanxin didn’t have any family growing up. Queen Danling was probably the closest person to family she had.

After the journey in Yin and Yang Palace, they knew each other better, Although Zhang Ruochen behaved recklessly during a crisis as if he was putting her down, she might have been trapped without Zhang Ruochen going with her instead of saving Queen Danling.

Without a doubt, Zhang Ruochen was calmer and able to think more clearly in the most dangerous environment, which was something she should learn.

Ji Fanxin thought and said, “You should know better about Yin and Yang Palace after getting in yourself. What’s your next plan?”

“It has nothing to do with you, does it?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to tell Ji Fanxin his plan at all.

After all, he wasn’t that close to her.

If it were Ling Feiyu, she would’ve attacked Queen Lian without a second thought, and on the contrary, Ji Fanxin was hesitating thinking about the costs and benefits.

This was the difference between real friends and acquaintances.

Since they were only acquaintances, he couldn’t tell her everything.

Ji Fanxin frowned and realized she’d left a bad impression to Zhang Ruochen, but she would do the same thing if it happened again.
