1796: Did Not Mean It

Did Not Mean It

Chu Liuyue asked, "You didn't ask who he was and just agreed?"1

Cen Yi nodded. "Since he's your friend, there won't be a problem."

Not many people could be acknowledged as her friend.

Chu Liuyue smiled and shook her head helplessly.

Cen Yi was too smart, and sometimes, it was a little boring.

The friend she was talking about naturally referred to Lin Zhifei. He didn't come this time, but she previously asked Mu Hongyu and knew that Lin Zhifei was still the same as before during this period—busy with his transportation formations in the academy.

Hearing what Mu Hongyu said, Lin Zhifei's skills had greatly improved recently, and the transportation formation he built was taking good shape. Some of the elders in the academy knew about it and were filled with praise for him.

However, they all thought that Lin Zhifei was interested in transportation formations, which is why he studied it so diligently. However, in actual fact… Everything was because of an agreement he had with Chu Liuyue.

It seemed like things were progressing decently…

"There are only a few days left till the wedding. During this period, you can stay at Changyi Mountain first. I've already told people to tidy the place up for you. If you need anything, just look for me directly."

Xiao Ba blinked her peerless and charming eyes as she leaned toward Chu Liuyue, smiled, and said, "Master, I've only heard of the Sky-Cloud Empire beforehand, and I've never been here before. May I know—"

"As long as you don't cause trouble, you can walk wherever you want." Chu Liuyue guessed what she was thinking about instantly and directly gave her an answer.

Xiao Ba smiled even more brightly. "I knew you're the best, Master!"

…

"Did you hear? Princess Consort's subordinates from outside the God Residence Realm have come here as well! They seem to have started a fight at the barrier just now!"

"This news has spread across the entire Sky-Cloud Empire. Who doesn't know about it? Didn't they say that one of the women had something with her, which caused an abnormal reaction in the barrier and was stopped?"

"Hah, that's what I want to talk about! Do you know what exactly is the item that the woman refused to hand over?"

"What?"

"A pill! She even said that as long as the princess consort used the pill, she would definitely be able to develop a holy body within a year!"

"What? There's such a pill in this world? Why don't we know about it?"

"Hmph, it's most likely to put on a show, and she's just putting up a front! After all, she came from outside the God Residence Realm…"

On a mountain peak not far away from Suming Peak, the few of them walked and talked.

Even though the Sky-Cloud Empire was spacious, news spread rather quickly between people in the clan. That matter had just happened, but a lot of people knew about it.

They naturally had nothing to say about Chu Liuyue. She had outstanding talent, was very strong, and her appearance was one in a million, breathtakingly beautiful.

Her only shortcoming was her background.

"Actually… I feel that the princess consort does have backers. Senior Shangguan Jing's reputation spread far and wide back then! Even now, supreme Armory Refinement Masters are very rare and precious in the entire God Residence Realm! Besides, the princess consort is still the personal disciple of Ling Xiao Academy's director… This is all pretty amazing."

Some people held different views and argued softly.

"That is true, but think about it carefully. Senior Shangguan Jing is one person after all, and Director Nan… His every word and action represent the entire Ling Xiao Academy! He definitely won't disregard the entire academy for the princess consort alone. All in all, if she's in serious trouble, the princess consort has to deal with it herself!"

"That's true…"

"The family members, friends, and subordinates of the princess consort that came today are all not very skillful. Let's not talk about Mu Hongyu from Ling Xiao Academy. Although her skills are decent, she doesn't have much background. As for the princess consort's father, he's just a stage-one warrior! How can he be counted on?"

Even though the words were harsh, they were the truth! How would it be so easy to have a footing in the God Residence Realm?

At this point, a snow-white and fit figure suddenly flew out of the bushes by the side and pounced at the few of them!

"Ah!" The man who was talking and standing at the front was taken aback, and he hurriedly moved back.

He was fast, but the other party was quicker!

He felt that his vision became blurry as a white figure flashed across. Following this, his body flew backward uncontrollably!

Thump!

A low sound was heard.

A few sharp claw wounds appeared on his chest and caused his wound to be badly mangled.

The excruciating pain caused his face to turn pale!

The remaining people were stunned and planned to take action, but they were dazed the moment they saw the other party.

It was a white lion. Its fur was entirely snow-white, and its pair of icy blue eyes were nonchalant and cold.

At this point, it was staring at the few people tightly and lowered its body slightly as if it were prepared to attack at any time.

Intense murderous intent spread from its body!

The remaining few people's faces turned white as well. This is actually His Grace's fiend! How can we take action? Besides, we might not even be its match!

The sinisterly cold gaze landed on the man with injuries on the ground, sending a chill down his spine. He swallowed his remaining words and didn't even dare to utter a sound.

The air seemed to have stopped moving as it froze inch by inch.

The few of them were tense.

After a while, one of them forcefully said, "S-sir Xue Xue, w-we didn't mean the words we said just now…"

Xue Xue squinted its eyes. Didn't mean it? Do you think I'm a fool?

Roar!

Xue Xue let out a low growl from his throat and suddenly raised its claws. Since they don't mean it, then… I don't mean to do this!
