Chapter 1033 – Approaching Destruction
Shi Tingming’s expression changed tremendously.
He could sense a terrifying aura from the woman in front of him.
“You——”
Before he could speak, the masked woman slapped in his direction, causing an overwhelming force of the Heavens and Earth to explode instantly.
BANG!
The monarch glow was shattered while Shi Tingming’s figure was knocked into the ground. His body was covered in countless wounds.
“Naughty kids ought to be punished.” The masked woman ignored his presence and raised her head looking at Qin Nan. She unveiled the mask, revealing a glamorous face as she said, “Qin Nan-Nan.”
“Prin…Princess?”
Qin Nan was stunned.
He did not expect the Princess that was constantly on his mind would appear right at this moment.
“Humph, are you trying to hide from me? You left when I had just arrived at the Dragon Emperor Clan. It took me a great effort just to find you!” Princess Miao Miao swung her pink fist around.
Qin Nan remained speechless. He continued to stare at the Princess with a blank expression.
Since their last meeting at the Wuliang Sect, he had lost count of the days they had been apart. Unlike before, the Princess had grown taller, her physique was even more perfect, and she was also prettier than before.
Even though the Princess already had attractive facial features before, she had still looked like a child from afar, but she had become a woman now.
“What are you looking at?” Princess Miao Miao’s face blushed slightly as she rolled her eyes.
“Uhh…Why are you here?” Qin Nan subconsciously asked.
“Why can’t I be here?” Princess Miao Miao snapped, “I’ll let you deal with your trouble first. I’ve plenty of time to teach you a lesson.”
“Err, sure!”
Qin Nan collected his thoughts as a smile blossomed on his face.
The Princess’s cultivation had changed, her looks had changed, but she was still the Princess he knew.
Having this thought, Qin Nan shifted his gaze toward Shi Tingming.
“Qin Nan…if…if you kill me, my master Martial Monarch Huo Ling will not forgive you…Let me go, and I’ll give you everything…I won’t trouble you any further, you have my word…” Shi Tingming’s figure trembled as he said with a stern expression.
He was clear that he only had a chance to live by trying to intimidate Qin Nan with the name of Martial Monarch Huo Ling.
“Your master? Martial Monarch Huo Ling? I’ll be looking forward to meeting him then!”
Qin Nan’s gaze turned cold as he executed a slash.
The eighty-second ranked on the Monarch Ranking, Shi Tingming, was slain!
Following this, Qin Nan glanced in the direction of the trio.
The trio’s figures shuddered as their faces turned pale.
A single Qin Nan was terrifying enough, and now a peak Martial Progenitor Realm woman had appeared out of nowhere. They had absolutely no chance of escaping from them.
“Cultivator…Cultivator Qin Nan, the Ownerless Martial Spirit and the Ownerless Martial Tree are all yours. I just hope that you will let us go. Don’t worry, we’re willing to swear an oath of the Heavens and Earth that we will not tell anyone about your whereabouts.”
The black-haired old man’s eyes were filled with a hint of pleading.
Qin Nan wore a calm expression as he put the Ownerless Martial Tree into the Sumeru Ring with a wave before he spoke, “The Ownerless Martial Spirit is yours, you can take it. I won’t kill you either, but only on one condition.”
“Condition?” The trio was stunned.
“It’s very simple, just tell me where the three Martial Monarchs’ sons and your leader are.” Qin Nan said.
He was satisfied to find an Ownerless Martial Tree here in the middle sector, thus it was time for him to head to the inner sector.
The three Martial Monarchs’ sons and the Black Dragon were at the inner sector. Instead of waiting for them to trouble him, he had decided to take the initiative to hunt them down.
Most importantly, there must be some reason why the three Martial Monarchs’ sons were interested in the Desolated Battle Ground, thus Qin Nan was keen to see what that reason was.
He was never merciful toward his enemies.
“This…” The black-haired old man hesitated before he clenched his teeth and said, “Alright, I’ll tell you, but I hope you will keep your promise!”
Following this, the black-haired old man told Qin Nan what he had asked for.
Qin Nan glanced at the map that Gong Yang had given him and immediately discovered their exact position.
“You can leave now.” Qin Nan waved his hand.
“Thank you!”
The trio let out a sigh of relief and left the scene. They had only taken a few steps when Qin Nan suddenly said, “Wait.”
The trio’s figures stiffened and they were about to say something when they heard Qin Nan saying in a calm tone, “You three are smart enough to make the right choice. A piece of advice: Leave the Black Dragon and join the Blood Scorpion, because the Black Dragon will be crushed soon.”
The three were startled.
When they collected their thoughts, Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao had already vanished.
……
……
In the sky filled with battle intent, Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao were flying forward beside each other.
Qin Nan peeked at the side of Princess Miao Miao’s face.
He currently knew the Princess’ real identity, the Princess of the Lost Herb Garden, one of the seven great factions in the half-God region.
However, why would someone with such an identity end up at the Mystic Spirit Sect of the lower district, and having suffered such a serious injury when he had found her?
Could it be that something had happened to the Lost Herb Garden?
A few questions arose in Qin Nan’s mind, but he decided not to ask them after hesitating for a while.
“Qin Nan-Nan, you’ve been enjoying yourself in the Middle Continent. Many factions have their eyes on you, and are desperately trying to kill you as well.” Princess Miao Miao said with a giggle.
“Err, can we not talk about this?” Qin Nan let out a cough.
“Alright, I don’t mind.” Princess Miao Miao rolled her eyes before she went up to Qin Nan and whispered, “Tell me, do you really know where the treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch is?”
“This…”
Qin Nan lost his focus for a while as he smelled the pleasant scent from the Princess.
“I’m asking you a question.” Princess Miao Miao straightened her face.
“Mm, I do know where it is.”
Qin Nan collected his thoughts and cast her an alert look, “You don’t need to go after the treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch. It’s nothing useful for you.”
“Humph, I know that you’re not going to say it because you’re keeping it for yourself.” Princess Miao Miao’s face was filled with disbelief as she said, “I’m the Princess of the Lost Herb Garden, why would I be interested in the mere treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.”
“Mm, you’re right about that.” Qin Nan let out a relieved sigh.
“Then tell me, what exactly is it? Why do you know it’s useless for me?”
“……”
After holding onto the same topic for a while, Princess Miao Miao finally left Qin Nan alone after seeing the troubled expression on his face. Her giggles echoed in the sky.
“Qin Nan Nan, I have something to ask you.” Princess Miao Miao suddenly recalled something.
“Mm, go ahead.”
“In your faction, or in the Middle Continent, did any female cultivator do something to you?” Princess Miao Miao asked softly as her face blushed slightly.
“Do something?” Qin Nan was confused, “What do you mean?”
“Do…do…Humph, I’m asking you if any female cultivator expressed their love to you? Or did they ask you to be their partner?” Princess Miao Miao’s face blushed even more.
“Express their love? Partner?” Qin Nan was left speechless, “So that’s what you’re trying to ask? Not at all.”
“Really?” Princess Miao Miao’s eyes glistened as she giggled, “Maybe you’re too ugly, that’s why no one is interested in you.”
“Impossible? Maybe I just wasn’t aware.”
“Just accept the truth that you’re too ugly for them.”
“You…if you say so.”
The two continued to quarrel just like old times back in the Mystic Spirit Sect.
