Chapter 19: Sitting at home, trouble comes from the sky.
"What should I use as a betrothal gift?"
Chen Changsheng sat on a mountaintop, frowning in deep thought.
Ever since he learned that the Princess of Night Moon Country was looking for a husband, Chen Changsheng had been pondering how to win the beautiful wolf's heart.
But no matter how much he thought, Chen Changsheng found that besides his handsome appearance and vast knowledge, he had nothing else.
However, just as Chen Changsheng was at his wit's end, a cry for help suddenly came from a distance.
Hearing the sound, Chen Changsheng focused his gaze and saw two Golden Core Realm Demon Clan members chasing a Foundation Establishment Realm woman.
As Chen Changsheng observed the commotion in the distance, the woman being chased immediately changed direction and flew towards Chen Changsheng.
"Senior, save me! They want to kill me!"
Hearing the woman's cry, Chen Changsheng didn't say a word and directly circulated all his cultivation...
Then he ran away like a wisp of smoke.
Woman: "......"
No, shouldn't you be a hero saving the beauty in this situation?
You just ran away like that. Don't you have even a shred of curiosity?
The woman's resentment in the distance did not affect Chen Changsheng's escape speed at all.
Seeing Chen Changsheng running further and further away, and herself about to be caught by the two behind her.
The woman gritted her silver teeth, directly took out a jade talisman, and crushed it.
As the jade talisman shattered, a golden light immediately shot out from it, firmly connecting the woman and Chen Changsheng.
Immediately after, the woman directly teleported behind Chen Changsheng, and her speed remained consistent with his.
Chen Changsheng: ???
Facing this sticky candy-like behavior, Chen Changsheng was completely numb.
"No, why are you clinging to me?"
"Senior, those two want to kill me. Please, Senior, lend a helping hand."
Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, the woman cupped her hands again, pleading for his help.
"Pah!"
"Stop trying to deceive me with such clumsy acting. They aren't here to kill you at all."
"Someone who wants to kill wouldn't just chase without attacking."
"Also, look at yourself. You're covered in Magic Treasures. Is it reasonable for a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator to have so many things?"
"You're definitely a young lady from a wealthy family who ran away. They're here to bring you back."
The woman just said something casually, but Chen Changsheng immediately spoke rapidly, like a machine gun.
Moreover, his analysis was almost completely accurate.
This behavior directly stunned the woman. She had definitely never met this man before, and it seemed he didn't recognize her either.
Just by looking from a distance, he could analyze so much. How did his brain even work?
Seeing her lie exposed, the woman simply laid her cards on the table and said, "Since you've seen through it, I won't pretend anymore."
"They are indeed here to bring me back. If I'm caught back, at most I'll be scolded and confined for a few days."
"But you're different. If you don't help me escape their pursuit, I'll say it was you who lured me out."
"At that time, what do you think my family will do to you?"
Facing the woman's words, Chen Changsheng didn't pay attention but focused all his efforts on comprehending the talisman bound to him.
Chen Changsheng's actions naturally fell into the woman's eyes.
However, the woman wasn't worried at all that Chen Changsheng could break the talisman she had placed.
"Don't waste your energy. This Shadow Following Talisman was refined by a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. A mere Golden Core like you can definitely not break it."
"Instead of wasting time here, you might as well run faster."
"The ones chasing me are two Late Stage Golden Core. We're about to be caught!"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng turned his head and saw that the two Late Stage Golden Core Demon Clan Cultivators were gradually closing the distance.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly critical, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
"Miss, I don't want to get involved in your family matters, and I definitely don't want any entanglement with you."
"I can let bygones be bygones. Please stop pestering me, okay?"
Listening to Chen Changsheng's words, the woman countered by conjuring a bead and placing it above her head.
"I'll do whatever I want. What can you do to me?"
"If you have the ability, break the protective shield on me!"
"Since you're so unappreciative, then don't blame me."
Saying this with a cold face, Chen Changsheng immediately began to make hand seals.
At first, the woman didn't pay attention, because she had never put a mere Golden Core Stage Cultivator in her eyes.
If her spiritual power wasn't about to be exhausted, she wouldn't have been willing to hitch a ride with this stranger.
But soon, the woman discovered something was wrong.
"This is the Blood Escape of Shangqing Temple! You are a Human Clan!"
Looking at the woman's surprised expression, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, "Congratulations, you guessed right, but there's no reward!"
Hearing this, the woman immediately wanted to break the Shadow Following Talisman between herself and Chen Changsheng.
However, Chen Changsheng's Blood Escape was already complete. Now, whatever she did was too late.
"Pfft!"
Spitting out a mouthful of heart blood, Chen Changsheng instantly turned into a bloody stream of light and disappeared into the horizon.
And the two Demon Clan Cultivators chasing behind were also dumbfounded.
Because they had never expected a mid-stage Golden Core to use such a profound escape technique.
Furthermore, how could an unknown Human Clan appear in the heartland of Night Moon Country?
"Big Brother, what do we do now?"
"Slap!"
As soon as one of the Golden Core Cultivators opened his mouth, he was slapped hard by his companion.
"What do we do? Hurry up and chase!"
"The Princess was taken away by a Human Clan. If anything goes wrong, we'll just wait for our clan to be annihilated!"
After saying that, the two immediately chased Chen Changsheng at the cost of burning their essence blood.
But how could two ordinary Golden Core Cultivators possibly catch up to Chen Changsheng?
Having stayed in Shangqing Temple for so many years, Chen Changsheng didn't learn much about fighting, but his escape techniques were practiced to perfection.
Let alone two Late Stage Golden Core, even some ordinary Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators might not be able to catch up to Chen Changsheng.
......
Three hundred li away.
"Whoosh!"
Two figures, one male and one female, appeared in the quiet valley.
These two were precisely Chen Changsheng, who had used Blood Escape, and the mysterious woman.
After the Blood Escape ended, Chen Changsheng didn't hesitate and directly threw out several Formation Flags, planting them around.
Then, he made a set of profound hand seals, his movements as skilled as if they had been refined a thousand times.
"Formation, rise!"
A light barrier instantly enveloped Chen Changsheng and the mysterious woman.
Facing Chen Changsheng's actions, the woman cautiously took out an ancient dagger.
"What do you want to do?"
"I'm telling you, if anything happens to me, your fate will be worse than death."
Hearing the woman's threatening words, Chen Changsheng, who had finished setting up the Formation, smacked his lips and said, "I originally didn't want to cause trouble."
"But you brought it upon yourself, so you can't blame anyone."
