“What are you thinking about?”
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Qing Mo and gently shook his head.
Qing Mo became even more sceptical, feeling that Zhang Ruochen was very problematic, saying, “I’m just asking casually, why are you so nervous?”
Where was there nervousness?
Zhang Ruochen was rather speechless.
Even when he fought with Prince Qing Tian, he was clean and courageous, never frowning, but instead, facing this little girl unexpectedly gave him a bit of a headache.
“Leave this place first, return to the Scroll World and someone will naturally tell you the reason.”
Zhang Ruochen looked towards Princess Baili on the opposite side of the room, and without saying anything more, he performed a Spatial Great Shift and took Qing Mo straight away.
The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon and the Beast Kings of the Barbarian Beasts’ clans were all in the vicinity, so once there was a clash with Princess Baili, it was bound to draw them over, and at that time, it would be quite tough to leave again.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current strength, there was no need to continue using Princess Baili to keep the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon in check, and it would be best for the two of them to go their separate ways and never cross paths again.
As for Princess Bai Li’s Memory Source Pearl, Zhang Ruochen had no intention of returning it to her for the time being. Once it was returned to her and she recovered her memories, it would undoubtedly be another strong enemy.
Princess Bai Li was an ancient relic species that had absorbed the Chaotic Qi and the essence of heaven and earth, and was not a weakling.
Xiao Hei was also born from the Jiu Li Cat Clan, and was once also an ancient relic species, and if he hadn’t been sealed by the Sacred Monk of Sumeru in the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram and refined into an artefact spirit, he would most likely have been a world-renowned ferocious beast.
From this alone, it can also be seen that Princess Baili is by no means a generalist, even if it is not as good as Xiao Hei, in the same realm, it is also a first-class powerhouse.
Performing seven spatial great shifts in a row caused Zhang Ruochen to quickly reach hundreds of miles away, leaving that area, and the figures of Princess Baili and the two Baili Cat Clan Paragon Saints could no longer be seen.
Qing Mo was very curious and inclined her head, asking and answering, ”Sir Zhang, since you’re not nervous, why did you immediately flee when you saw that woman? With your cultivation, you wouldn’t be afraid of her. Is there some untold secret between you two?”
“I didn’t flee, I just didn’t want to invite trouble.”Zhang Ruochen appeared frank.
“Why don’t you return your memories to her, and if you do, won’t there be no more trouble?”Qing Mo was puzzled.
Qing Mo was completely one-dimensional and always felt that Zhang Ruochen was very abnormal and must be hiding something.
“Zhang Ruochen, return the Memory Source Pearl to this princess, you can’t escape.”
Princess Baili’s voice floated over from afar.
That slender and moving figure, with her feet stepping on the void, was incredibly fast and soon appeared within Zhang Ruochen’s field of vision.
“Catching up so quickly?”
Zhang Ruochen once again unfolded the Great Spatial Shift, rolled up Qing Mo, and disappeared in place.
Princess Baili executed the Baili Clan’s innate Saint Art, “At Hand’s End Steps”, taking a step out, she could step thousands of miles, and chased after her alone, leaving the two Quasi-Saints of the Baili Cat Clan far behind.
“Your Highness don’t chase any further, you’re no match for that ferocious man.”The white-haired old man was quite anxious, worrying that the White Dawn Palace Master would be in danger.
Joking aside, the Zhang Ruochen of today was able to injure Prince Qingtian, who was the seventh in the Semi-Saint Outer Ranking, he was definitely a first-class ruthless person, once he was provoked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Only, the white-haired old man and the white-haired old woman had failed to cultivate the At Hand’s End Steps to a great completion, so they simply couldn’t catch up with Princess Baili, and soon lost her trail.
“Zhang Ruochen, you don’t want to escape. Why did you take away this Princess’s memories, aren’t you going to explain clearly? How dare the Time and Space Transmitter be so despicable and shameless?”
As Princess Baili chased after her, her moving voice travelled out, resounding in this part of the world.
Some passing beings, sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Princess Bai Li’s body, immediately burrowed into the ground and lurked.
Only when Princess Bai Li was far away did they crawl out of the ground.
A Human Half-Saint wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said with palpitations, “Zhang Ruochen actually took away Princess Bai Li’s memories, what exactly is he trying to hide?”
All living beings thought at the first moment that Zhang Ruochen must have done something he shouldn’t have done to Princess Bai Li, and that’s why he erased the other party’s memories, wanting to clear the air.
In this world, conspiracy theorists were already abundant.
“Zhang Ruochen’s character, isn’t that good either!”
“I’m afraid that this matter will cause a big furore, the Jiu Li Cat Clan’s power in the Barbarian Desert Mystic Realm is quite huge, they won’t let a princess be bullied by humans and ignore it.”
“Princess Baili has a Beast Emperor behind her, and she herself possesses supreme talent, Zhang Ruochen is in big trouble this time!”
……
Not only the human cultivators, even the savage beasts of the various clans thought that that human time transmitter had more than likely ruined Princess Bai Li’s innocence and didn’t want to be responsible, which was why he had done such a shameless thing.
“Beasts! Princess Bai Li is the most beautiful jewel of the Barbarian Secret Realm, and only the Demonic Dragon Lord is worthy of her, but I never thought that she would be defiled by a lowly human first.”
“No wonder the Demonic Dragon Lord didn’t hesitate to use a Sacred Source as a reward to find Zhang Ruochen’s trail, so there’s such a deep-seated reason.”
As the matter continued to spread out, it became more and more outrageous and had long since deviated from the truth.
There was even a savage beast that claimed to have witnessed Princess Baili holding a large belly and asking Zhang Ruochen if he wanted to give birth.
“This matter is true, I saw it with my own eyes. At that time, Princess Bai Li did have a belly that wasn’t very big, it was just slightly shrugged up, obviously it was not long ago that she was pregnant. She asked Zhang Ruochen if she wanted to give birth, but Zhang Ruochen shook his head and very cruelly abandoned her.”
A half-human, half-beast savage beast said with conviction, even raising his finger and swearing to the heavens.
This piece of news spread out and immediately caused a huge uproar, shocking the barbarian beasts’ clans and the human race, and the entire living beings of the Winning Gemma Desert were in an uproar.
On that very day, the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon also heard similar news and only felt unprecedentedly humiliated and angered to the extreme, so it stopped chasing the Qingtian Tribe and shouted to Zhang Ruochen through the air, “Zhang Ruochen, no matter how far you flee to the ends of the earth, you’ll still end up dead.”
“All savage beasts listen to the order, as long as you report Zhang Ruochen’s whereabouts to me, not only will you get a Sacred Source, but also an Ancestral Artifact.”
The voice of the Heaven Swallowing Devil Dragon came out, causing those human cultivators and savage beasts who were still doubting the truth to be even more certain that this matter was true.
When Wan Huayu heard the news, he froze for a moment and muttered to himself, “It’s really not like Zhang Ruochen to do such a thing.”
Thousands of miles away, on an empty desert, the savage beast that spread the rumour looked out in the direction of the Qingtian Tribe’s withdrawal and said, “This rumour spreading out will surely infuriate the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Dragon and all the Beast Kings, causing them to turn their spearheads towards Zhang Ruochen. In this way, His Highness the Crown Prince and the clansmen of the Qingtian Tribe should be able to retreat successfully.”
“Wow.”
A crack appeared on the body of that savage beast.
From the cracks, a blood-red light mist emanated, and immediately after, a snapping shattering sound was heard. The skin of that savage beast cracked and a pair of blood-red fleshy wings grew out, transforming into an Immortal Blood Clan.
As it turned out, this savage beast, an infiltrator of the Undying Blood Clan, had deliberately spread a rumour, merely wanting to help the Undying Blood Clan members of the Qingtian Clan get out of their trap.
Obviously, this rumour of its worked very well, hitting the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon’s weaknesses and succeeding in enraging it.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was rushing towards the Blood Red Gobi Beach, unaware of the “earth-shattering” rumour he and Princess Baili had spread.
The speed of the Great Spatial Shift was indeed very fast, however, Princess Baili’s Skyward Steps were also quite good, and she actually chased after Zhang Ruochen closely, not losing him.
“I had underestimated her before, her speed is enough to rank in the top five under the Saint realm.”
Being chased by Princess Baili all the time was not a solution, Zhang Ruochen was in deep thought, considering, whether or not to return the Memory Source Pearl to her.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen shook his head, not wanting to create one more strong enemy because of a moment of weakness.
Although the current Princess Bai Li was strong, she was not smart enough to be considered a great enemy.
After regaining her memories, Princess Bai Li, with her status and influence, could completely call in a large number of strong people from the savage beast clans to deal with Zhang Ruochen, and at that time, it would be quite unfavourable to Zhang Ruochen.
Finally, Zhang Ruochen reached the Blood Red Gobi.
Holding the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, Little Black was already waiting outside of the Gobi Beach, and when he saw Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo return, he immediately revealed a smile and said, “See! This Emperor said that they wouldn’t be in danger, Zhang Ruochen is a Time and Space Successor, with the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood and the old vulture of Sumeru’s fortune added to his body, how could he be killed so easily?”
Huang Yichen stood beside Xiao Hei with a rather tall figure, her long, treasure blue hair swaying in the wind, and when she saw Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo’s figures, a faint smile finally surfaced above her ice-cold face.
Qing Mo transformed into a residual shadow and rushed to Huang Yichen’s side, looking a little odd as he whispered to her, much like a tattle-tale.
“Eh?”
Huang Yichen’s eyes condensed and looked over towards Zhang Ruochen, revealing a puzzled expression.
Zhang Ruochen was naturally able to guess what Qing Mo had said to Huang Yichen, but appeared calm and smiled faintly, “Don’t listen to her nonsense, this matter is known to Xiao Hei as the truth, and it can tell you the reason for it.”
“I’m not bullsh*tting, it was originally you who did something wrong. Otherwise, when you saw that woman, why would you have fled?”
Qing Mo returned to Huang Yichen’s side, and was suddenly full of energy, no longer so timid.
Huang Yichen gently pursed her red lips, and in her eyes, a pitiful light flowed out, as if she had suffered a great deal of aggression.
Zhang Ruochen glared at Little Black and said, “Don’t explain to them immediately.”
“Explain what? This Emperor doesn’t even know what you guys are talking about.”Little Black said.
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and calmly said, “About Princess Bai Li.”
Qing Mo immediately added, “Zhang Ruochen must have done something unspeakably bad to that Princess Bai Li, the other party took the initiative to find him but he didn’t dare to deal with it head on, instead, he fled with me. What is this if not doing something wrong?”
“What?”
Little Black screamed, his entire body’s black hair standing up like steel needles as he lunged at Zhang Ruochen, “Zhang Ruochen, this Emperor will fight you! This Emperor thought it was strange, how could you sneak out alone, so it turns out that you have your eyes on Princess Bai Li. Don’t you know that she is the Imperial Concubine that this Emperor has already reserved? Are you bullying this Emperor for not having a physical body?”
Zhang Ruochen cast out his Body Technique and retreated like lightning, not wanting to tangle with Little Black.
The relationship was becoming more and more chaotic, and there was no way to explain it.
“Wow…”
In the distance, in the turquoise blue sky, a white point of light flew in rapidly.
The point of light grew larger and larger, transforming into a spot of light that arrived close by, and in the spot of light, the figure of Princess Baili was revealed.
She flew down and stood on top of a huge rock, her eyes staring towards Zhang Ruochen, panting, “Zhang Ruochen, you shameless fellow …… why exactly? Today …… you must …… must explain clearly to this princess ……”
A puzzled light appeared in Huang Yichen’s eyes as he also stared over towards Zhang Ruochen, wanting to know what exactly had happened?
