Chapter 502 (2/2)

“What’s the use of being overbearing? We’ve yet to reach the Divine Wood Mountain, and we’ve one more thorny opponent to deal with as a result.” Shooting a slanted glare towards Mu Chen, Wen Qingxuan spoke in a lazy manner. “However, you didn’t disappoint too much by at least possessing a bit of courage. If you let a girl get bullied and still hide behind her, what’s the use in calling you a man?”

Towards her alternative degeratory and praising comments, Mu Chen could only give a helpless laugh in response. Compared to Xue Tiandu, he clearly felt a greater headache towards the person before him now.

Hearing those words from Wen Qingxuan, Luo Li gave a laugh before saying, “Although Xue Tiandu’s somewhat thorny, if he truly wanted to take action, he would have to deal with the consequences.”

Seeing that Luo Li was helping Mu Chen, Wen Qinguan could not help flinging her little red lips aside. Waving her hands, she said, “We’re about to reach the transaction base. Since we don’t know how many crouching tigers and hidden dragons are present there, let’s seize this moment to enter it and prepare ourselves properly. There will definitely be huge fights awaiting us within the ancient remnant of the Divine Wood Palace.”

Hearing her words, Mu Chen nodded his head in agreement. Indeed, as what Wen Qingxuan had said, they had only more thorny opponents to deal with before even reaching the Divine Wood Mountain. God-knows how many would there be when they arrive there. From the looks of it, there would definitely be a truly huge fight taking place then. Similarly, Mu Chen was extremely curious about one point. Exactly how many of the hidden experts that were concealed in the darkness would reveal themselves there?

Everyone was clear about the importance of the genuine remnant of the Divine Wood Palace. Therefore, those powerful groups that have concealed themselves to bide time would definitely reveal themselves in succession within there. This time, it would definitely be extremely spectacular. In fact, this might shake up the entire situation of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.

Moving their bodies once again, Mu Chen shot across the sky. In the distant plains, the little town was already faintly visible. Countless figures shot over from all directions, finally landing within this little town, causing the surrounding area to appear exceedingly noisy and lively.

Standing at the outskirts of the transaction base and taking in the atmosphere present within the little town, Mu Chen and the others could not help sighing in admiration. Upon their entrance to the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, it was clearly extremely rare for them to see so many groups converging in such a peaceful manner together. That’s because any other place with that many groups appearing and gathering together would definitely be a place where numerous intense fights and battles would have taken place.

“Let’s go.”

Seemingly appearing somewhat familiar with this place, Wen Qingxuan gave a wave with her jade-like hand as she took the lead and walked forward, with Mu Chen and the rest hastily following suit.

Upon entering the transaction base, the noise and clatter instantly lunged towards them. Clearly appearing to be constructed not long ago, the numerous limestone streets appeared exceedingly wide and spacious, merely that it was filled with numerous figures bustling with activity.

Following Wen Qingxuan as they walked into the little town, Mu Chen and the rest could immediately feel the clamouring reduce by quite a bit as countless gazes shot over towards their direction. Each of those gazes were completely filled with shock, and curiosity, as well as drool…

Naturally, the absolute majority of those reactions were due to Wen Qingxuan, as well as Luo Li.

The fame of Wen Qingxuan had already long been circulated within the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, with everyone being clear how strong the group on the first of the rankings were, as well as how beautiful their female Captain was.

However, what caused them to be astonished was that there was actually yet another girl that was not one bit inferior, when compared to her.

Standing quietly at a side, Luo Li held her Luo God Sword in her hand, with her exquisitely beautiful and procelainsque face appearing calm and elegant. Clearly, she had an entirely different character compared to Wen Qingxuan. Upon entering the little town, she did not pay much attention to the sideways as her glass-like pupils only gave a brief swept.

Compared to her, Wen Qingxuan was different. At this moment, her beautiful face that could similarly cause the downfall of countries was covered in a soul-stirringly beautiful smile, causing people to be unable to peel their eyes from her. However, although her smile was soul-stirring, her phoenix-like eyes were filled with haughtiness and arrogance. As her gaze indifferently swept across the bodies of a few seemingly outstanding youths, it quickly moved away with the same indifference, instantly causing the youths that were quietly pumping up their chests to deflate and be filled with dejection.

Compared to Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan clearly possessed a temperament that was exceedingly hard to tame. However, being the way males are, the harder it was to obtain, the greater they would chase after the unattainable.

Seeing the transaction base that had turned somewhat quiet, before noticing the gazes of countless people sweeping across Luo Li’s body, Mu Chen instantly flung his mouth in unhappiness.

While he was feeling unhappy, Luo Li suddenly gave a faint smile, before unexpectedly taking the initiative to extend her jade-like hand to hold onto Mu Chen’s, all while her lovable face turned slightly red.

Whoosh.

As Luo Li held Mu Chen’s hand, one could faintly hear a clamoring wave ringing out, with quite a few gazes locking onto Mu Chen, with some of them containing unconcealable hostility and envy.

Mu Chen was also slightly shocked and astonished. Knowing Luo Li’s character, other than his occasional hoodlum teasing while they were alone, where she would blush and allow him to do so, she was exceedingly reserved in front of other people. Such an initiative to hold his hand was clearly something that was exceedingly rare.

“This is just a little reward,” said Luo Li with a slight blush on her lovable face as she shot a look towards Mu Chen.

Hearing that, Mu Chen could not help letting a smile crack open from his mouth. Naturally, he knew that what Luo Li was saying was that he had seemingly done quite a good job in his performance towards Xue Tiandu earlier.

Wen Qingxuan took half a step forward. However, upon hearing the clamoring coming from the surroundings, she cast a look from the corner of her eye and immediately knew what had happened. This caused her to give a soft snort within her heart, turning her beautiful eyes around, while a slight twitch appeared on her tiny rosy lips.

Due to his point of view, Mu Chen just so happened to notice the arc curling up from the corner of Wen Qingxuan’s mouth, causing a not-too-good feeling to rise within his heart.

However, before he could respond to it, Wen Qingxuan had quickly turned around, while a soul-stirring smile appeared on her beautiful face that would cause the downfall of countries. However, at this moment, a somewhat evil intent seemed to appear within her eyes as she unexpectedly extended her jade-like hand out, grabbing onto Mu Chen’s wrist before walking straight into the transaction base.

Thereafter, in that instant, the clamoring noises originally still present within the transaction base instantly turned deathly silent.

Cold beads of sweat instantly poured from Mu Chen’s back in response. If those gazes that had shot over before were filled with hostility and envy, they were now filled with genuine killing intent…

“I’ve been made a fool of…”

The corner of Mu Chen’s mouth slightly twitched as he thought, This Wen Qingxuan’s simple a demoness.
