Chapter 1684 - Spatial Division Rune (2/2)
But even Fairy Tianchu was looking at her with a different gaze. This was very strange!
The Thousand Star Maiden felt awkward due to these strange gazes. She moved the power of the origin to her ears and instantly heard what the people were saying telepathically.
“Do you see? The Thousand Star Maiden also changed her dress. Can you say nothing happened between her and Lin Yue in the Starry Carriage?”
“Didn’t she just say that she invited Lin Yue with a great cost? Could the cost be… Oh my, the Thousand Star Maiden is the maiden of an ancient civilization. How can she do this? If news spreads, can she still keep her t.i.tle? I heard that there are many talented figures in the Thousand Star Civilization who want the position of maiden.”
“It might not be some dirty exchange. It could be that Lin Yue and the Thousand Star Maiden love each other and they’re a couple.”
“Lin Yue is very advanced in the Spatial Way, so he qualifies for the Thousand Star Maiden.”
…
Hearing these messages, the Thousand Star Maiden almost spat out blood.
Hearing them say that she and Lin Yue had had car s.e.x for an hour made her go especially crazy. She wanted to grab those people and beat them until even their mothers couldn’t recognize them.
But she stopped herself.
She had to keep calm. The more furious she was, the more they would think that she and Zhang Ruochen had some dirty exchange.
Explaining was useless now. Unless she revealed Zhang Ruochen’s true ident.i.ty, any explanation would make things worse. But if she revealed Zhang Ruochen’s true ident.i.ty, then the marriage proposal would be exposed too, as well as her secret of having Mysteries of Truth.
The Thousand Star Maiden never thought that she would be in such a difficult state one day. She really wanted to cry.
Just then, the Great Senior came out. “Lin Yue was indeed invited by Little Jing. She must’ve paid Lin Yue a great sum, so it’s not unreasonable for her to take 30% of the divine spring.”
Since the Great Senior had spoken, the others naturally had no objections.
The Thousand Star Maiden ground her teeth. Forcing her tone to be calm, she said to Fairy Tianchu, “Sister, you can go down. Let me help him.”
“Okay!”
Fairy Tianchu retrieved the white chain wrapped around Zhang Ruochen and retreated to a distance.
“I feel like I worked…quite well…with the fairy…”
Zhang Ruochen knew that the Thousand Star Maiden didn’t have good intentions, so he wanted to keep Fairy Tianchu. But the Thousand Star Maiden already sent out nine chains. They wrapped around him, each one releasing different power.
“Ah-Yue, go carve the runes. I’ll pull you back at the most dangerous moment.” The Thousand Star Maiden’s eyes were frigid.
Naturally, Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe her. If there really was danger, it would be even stranger if the Thousand Star Maiden saved him. She might take this chance to kill him.
“Yu Chenjing,” Zhang Ruochen said telepathically. “If you really don’t save me, you won’t get the divine spring or my Mysteries of Truth.”
The Thousand Star maiden’s fingers trembled in anger. “Zhang Ruochen, you ruined me. Do you know how they’re talking about us?”
“You know already? It’s just car s.e.x.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled, not caring. After a pause, he said, “This is your fault, not mine.”
“If I lose my reputation, you will lose your life.”
This time, Zhang Ruochen had to try his best to stabilize her. “Joy and tragedy come hand in hand. This might not be a bad thing for you.”
“This can be a good thing?”
“This can challenge your mindset,” Zhang Ruochen said. “People only grow if they can withstand troubles and challenges. Look at those true top figures. Do they care how people think about them? It’s because their hearts are steady and unable to be affected by others. Who cares what others think?
“You never ran into any trouble in your life. You were never looked down on, humiliated, insulted, or lied too. You stand too high and are unsullied like a fairy. That’s why your mindset is flawed.
“If you get past this, your mindset will definitely grow. It’ll be much easier to reach the Supreme Saint Realm.”
Hearing this, the Thousand Star Maiden’s mood somehow improved. However, she soon said coldly, “No matter what you say, it doesn’t change the fact that you ruined me. Draw your runes. If you mess up again, I definitely won’t save you.”
Carving the Spatial Division Rune was very risky and it was difficult to not make mistakes. Zhang Ruochen didn’t want the divine spring anymore. He really wanted to escape.
But the nine chains trapped him there. He couldn’t escape.
He could only pull his nerves taut and focus to the extreme. He carved carefully, afraid of making any mistakes.
As time pa.s.sed, the path opened up by the Spatial Division Rune grew longer and longer.
Behind him, the Thousand Star Maiden could see sweat roll down Zhang Ruochen’s neck. A smile finally appeared on her face. Being controlled by Zhang Ruochen in the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide really depressed her.
Now, she wanted to make Zhang Ruochen experience having someone else control his life or death.
Perhaps because Zhang Ruochen was extremely careful, he didn’t make any mistakes this time. He successfully penetrated the spatial wall, opening up a path that was more than 60 meters long.
The Thousand Star Maiden frowned, feeling a bit disappointed. “The Spatial Division Rune is so advanced and complicated, but this guy actually succeeded! Shouldn’t he have died?”
The cultivators of the Ancient Civilization Sect were all overjoyed. They rushed toward the spatial zone inside the wall.
Zhang Ruochen was the first to arrive at the other end, but before he could celebrate, he was met with a familiar ancient Yin Qi. His heart instantly sank.
