Chương 158: War God — Chapter 158 - Chen Yuting: Is This a Secret Between Us?

"She's not as simple as you think." Watching Chen Yuting walk out, Wang Xian wasn't surprised. Half a year had passed. The aura around her was becoming more and more like the 'Chen Family Head' from his previous life. And perhaps it was because of the World-Toppling Demon Body, her face and figure were even more striking than during high school.

"She noticed you long ago." Wang Xian glanced around. Quiet.

"Your Demon Body can't block her perception. Saying what I did, she'd inevitably realize there's a reason I want to keep things hidden."

"How could it be a simple misunderstanding?" Chen Yuting moved her lips, wanting very much to say: In fighting and combat, I might not match you. But when it comes to understanding women, sorry. Even if you're as strong as a Martial God, you're far beneath me. From the color of Yan Zhaoxue's brow when she left just now, she was certain. The other party absolutely misunderstood. After thinking it over, Chen Yuting didn't linger on this topic.

"Regarding this Northern Zang Ruins trip..."

"Would you be interested in telling me the details?"

"They can't be proper listeners, but surely I can?" Wang Xian glanced at her and sighed.

"Hearing too much will only trouble your mind."

"Can't you consider it a reward for helping you this time?" Chen Yuting's gaze was deep and searching. Wang Xian paused. He naturally knew that getting out safely this time was indeed thanks to Chen Yuting's help. Otherwise, even if he'd used the Thousand Tribulations Dragon Spine broken blade to teleport out, without that spatial beacon, who knows where he'd have ended up in the spatial turbulence. It might not even have been within Dragon Nation.

If he'd been teleported into some higher-level relic or secret realm, wouldn't that have been even more troublesome?

"If I'm to tell it... then it starts after the college entrance exam, in Martial Dao Infinity." Wang Xian pondered for a moment. Chen Yuting walked into the tent, sat down steadily, and assumed an expression that said: speak, I'm listening. In her eyes flickered a curiosity nearly overflowing. Truth be told, on this trip she had planned to find an opportunity to figure out a way to enter the Northern Zang and the Dragon Calamity Bone Tomb together with him. But unfortunately, it seemed she was a step too late.

Wang Xian briefly recounted the experience of meeting Yan Zhaoxue in Martial Dao Infinity.

"So... you deduced through Yan Zhaoxue's participation in the 'Dragon Sky Martial Trial' that Chi Jiuyou was scheming for this place?" Chen Yuting mused thoughtfully. This point, she hadn't known. But she did know that Chi Jiuyou was a very troublesome and cunning character. Wang Xian nodded. Then, he moved on to the military training competition at the start of the semester. Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

"I resolved the trouble at the military training competition in Bluefall Water City. He was bound to be drawn to me, even try every means to eliminate me."

"It's just that for an entire semester, he had little opportunity. I was basically in bitter cultivation the whole time."

"It wasn't until the final exam, when I saw the location was Coiling Dragon Mountain, that I knew he was about to make his move." Wang Xian smiled.

"On Coiling Dragon Mountain, he schemed repeatedly. From the very start, he was probing my strength, looking for a chance to finish me off. I pretended to take the bait step by step, but somehow just wouldn't die."

"I just wanted to see exactly what method he would use to open the Dragon Calamity Bone Tomb relic at Coiling Dragon Mountain."

"I didn't expect he'd also make use of Yan Zhaoxue."

"Later, he also came to the Dragon Calamity Bone Tomb for the Thousand Tribulations Dragon Spine broken blade. I originally wanted to use the relic to kill him."

"It's just a pity..."

"It's just a pity he was too cunning." Chen Yuting said slowly.

"That guy, even a Martial God couldn't kill him back then. He must have a few tricks up his sleeve." That aside, Chen Yuting looked at the man before her, her eyes glimmering faintly. Which meant that, actually, ever since the martial exam ended, he had been planning this. Even though his strength was only at the first or second realm back then, yet everything proceeded according to his design. As expected. He isn't just that battle-obsessed martial fanatic.

Wang Xian shook his head slightly, showing no disappointment about this.

"My goal was only the Dragon Calamity Bone Tomb, not him." Chen Yuting nodded. Suddenly, her eyes held a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Telling me all this, aren't you afraid I'll go out and tell Chi Jiuyou?"

"Just now you spent all that effort to make him lower his guard against you... If I told him that you were scheming against him even before you came to Tiandu, it might become hard for you to kill him." Wang Xian smiled faintly.

"It's only a matter of time." He wasn't afraid in the slightest. If he could use other means to kill Chi Jiuyou, that would of course be good. But if he himself became strong enough, then Chi Jiuyou was bound to die. And it wouldn't be far off. At most by next year. Because next year the seniors would graduate, and barring any surprises, Chi Jiuyou would leave Tiandu. As for Chen Yuting, the fact that he could tell her this much naturally meant he had his own designs.

"Don't worry, I won't say a word." Chen Yuting said with a beaming smile.

"After all, what you've told me are secrets among secrets!"

"And they can be considered secrets between the two of us, wouldn't you say?" Her smile at this moment was utterly sincere. Because she hadn't expected that Wang Xian would actually tell her these things. Hah. As for those so-called secrets he told Yan Zhaoxue, what kind of secrets were those? Merely about resolving the Dragon Calamity Bone Tomb relic. Could she know that Wang Xian's target was Chi Jiuyou? She didn't know. As for the others... Ye Miyue.

Hah, Wang Xian would be even less likely to tell Ye Miyue things like this. Thinking of this, Chen Yuting simply couldn't keep the corners of her mouth down. The one who can help you is only me! You will accept me! This is proof! Wang Xian looked at the night sky and nodded slightly.

"I told you all this, you don't need to misunderstand either."

"Just as you said, it's merely to thank you for your help this time." Chen Yuting laughed inwardly. Stubborn man. And you tell me not to misunderstand. What you mean, of course I understand.

"Since you want to thank me..." Chen Yuting intended to push her luck. She stood up, her snow-white chin lifting slightly.

"Wouldn't something more tangible be better?"

"?" Wang Xian. Seeing her posture, Wang Xian thought to himself: your misunderstanding might run even deeper than Yan Zhaoxue's.

"Fine." Wang Xian nodded. Chen Yuting froze, suddenly feeling a bit overwhelmed by the favor. Probably not expecting Wang Xian to agree so readily?

"You..." Wang Xian took out a Nine Nether insect egg and said thoughtfully, "You've established something called the 'Xianting Society' at Azure Dragon University, right?"

"Mm... why do you ask?" Chen Yuting hurriedly said.

"Rest assured, this Xianting Society is mostly made up of elite students, mostly women. The men all have partners. I didn't do that kind of thing..."

"......" Wang Xian.

"You don't need to explain all that." Wang Xian said.

"What I want to say is, since your Xianting Society has a large number of elite students, I want you to research and produce a special kind of 'serum.'""Serum?" Chen Yuting was taken aback.

"That's right." Wang Xian pointed to the already refined Nine Nether insect egg.

"This is smelted from the insect's molt. Its property is the ability to absorb spirit sha. Using this as the main ingredient, have the elites in your Xianting Society research a serum that, once ingested, can seep into a martial artist's meridians, granting them the medicinal property of absorbing spirit sha."

"Absorb spirit sha?" Chen Yuting stiffened.

"What are you planning to do?" With the main ingredient available, researching and producing such a serum wouldn't be overly difficult. But ingesting something that absorbs spirit sha, isn't that purely courting death? This kind of serum couldn't possibly sell, right? Why research it? If anyone found out, the nation might just shut you down directly.

"Not willing?" Wang Xian glanced at her.

"I am willing." Chen Yuting thought for a moment, as if grasping something.

"Is it for your own use? You want to cultivate by absorbing spirit sha...?" At this point, Chen Yuting suddenly became agitated.

"No! That's far too dangerous!" ➤ Next: Then You'd Better Use Me Thoroughly!
