Chapter 1601: Curious Maiden

Long Chen had just gotten near the white lake when a black light shot out at him.

Long Chen snorted and caught the black light with one hand. The black light was actually an iron tentacle.

“Get out here!”

Long Chen pulled with both arms, and a huge object came out of the lake. Long Chen was dumbfounded to see that it was actually a three-thousand-meter flying boat.

“How could there be a flying boat here?”

Long Chen was stunned. Was there someone like him who could bring things from the outside world into the Netherworld?

Just as Long Chen’s guard was raised, he saw a woman on the flying boat. She seemed to be seventeen or eighteen and looked just as human as he did. She had a normal person’s legs, black waist-length hair, bright eyes, white teeth, and a nice face.

The woman pointed at Long Chen and began to cry out. Long Chen just stared blankly as he had no idea what she was trying to say. However, based on her appearance, she should be expressing anger.

“Can you speak the same language as me? I can’t understand you,” shouted Long Chen.

The woman fell silent. She suddenly ran back inside the flying boat and began to randomly pat around something inside the control cabin.

“Is she angry? She’s going to use the boat to attack me?” Long Chen was befuddled. Was her temper even worse than his?

“Can you speak the same language as me? I can’t understand you.”

Just as Long Chen was puzzled, a voice came from the flying boat. That voice was identical to his. She had actually recorded what he had just said.

The woman began to press even more b.u.t.tons. She suddenly said, “Wait… wait a moment.”

Long Chen jumped. She was actually speaking the same language as him. However, the way she spoke was still very strange and tough to understand.

At this time, the woman began to be covered in runes. After a moment, those runes vanished.

The woman once more jumped out. Long Chen was about to smile and greet her when she pointed at him and shouted, “You evil person, how dare you barge into my territory?! Do you believe me when I say I can turn you to dust with a single thought?!”

Just now she hadn’t known how to speak his language, and now she learned it instantly. Her words were now very clear and articulate. If it weren’t for what had happened just before, Long Chen would believe that she came from the Martial Heaven Continent as well.

“I don’t believe you. Your bragging is a bit too much.” Long Chen shook his head because he didn’t sense any danger from her. More importantly, he didn’t sense any hostility.

“You! How brazen! Do you know who I am?!” demanded the woman.

“I really don’t.”

“Then let me tell you, I am the NetherG.o.d’s direct subordinate, one of the nine great guards of the Nine Springs, and this region is my domain! You’ve barged into my domain, so tell me, how do you want to die?!” shouted the woman, looking down on him.

“You sound quite amazing based on your t.i.tle,” said Long Chen.

“But of course! I am the one in control of this place! Killing you doesn’t take any effort from me. Ah, since you don’t understand the Netherworld’s rules, just answer a few questions from me, and I won’t kill you.”

Long Chen frowned. Long Chen was also a conman, and he had great talent when it came to this regard. After many years of conning others, he felt like she was now trying to con him.

However, he didn’t expose her. Instead, he nodded. “Alright, I can answer your questions.”

The woman snorted, “Hmph, what’s with that way of speaking? Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you? I’ve lived for three thousand years, and I’ve killed countless people! I crawled out of a mountain of corpses and sea of blood!”

The woman was clearly very dissatisfied with Long Chen’s tone. That was because from start to now, he had yet to reveal the slightest fear. That made her uneasy.

“Amazing! Go ahead and ask then. Speaking of which, how old are you again?” asked Long Chen.

“Me? I’m eighteen- hey, I’m the one asking questions here!” raged the woman.

Long Chen, this crafty old fox, had launched a sudden sneak attack that instantly exposed her real age. As for being three thousand years old? That was pure nonsense.

“Don’t get mad, I was just asking randomly. I’m a very well-behaved, bashful person to be honest. I’ve never killed anyone, but I’m not afraid of death. People told me that once a person dies, they’ll ascend into the immortal realm and live a carefree life. If you want to kill me, then kill me,” said Long Chen indifferently.

“Who told you that? They were lying. When a person dies, things become much worse for them. That’s why people have to live properly while they’re alive,” said the woman.

“Ah, so they were all lying? How evil! When I get back, I’ll definitely make them pay for that! Miss, you really are the best. You’re so beautiful and kind. Speaking of which, I still don’t know your name!” said Long Chen.

“I’m- you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, who’s asking the questions here, me or you?!” raged the woman just as she was about to state her name.

“If you have questions, then just ask. You weren’t saying anything, so if I also didn’t say anything, it would be awkward.” Long Chen shrugged innocently.
