The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

For a moment, no one but Chen Dong had reacted. They all stared blankly at Zisang Jin. Such was the might of Dao Essence.

Yang Zhang had revealed his true form and fled a hundred miles in two breaths, yet he died all the same. This was something that neither Nascent Soul Realm Sword Intent nor Divine Techniques could accomplish. Even a Divinity Transformation expert couldn’t perform such a feat.

Zisang Jin slowly descended. The Dao Essence between her brows returned to normal, the power of the Dao light having been spent in that single strike.

She shot Chen Dong a glare, and as if to vent her remaining anger, her dainty shoe kicked directly into his shin.

CRACK! With a snap, Chen Dong’s shin bone shattered, and he collapsed to the ground.

Chen Dong immediately gritted his teeth and endured it. ’For a Golden Core Stage body, a broken bone is a small matter!’

Murong Qing walked over with her head lowered, flames of fury burning in her eyes. She grabbed Chen Dong by the hair and delivered a vicious knee strike.

Everyone gasped, and only Meng Yingluo snickered.

Chen Dong clutched his poor nose. Although Murong Qing was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, her attack was truly ruthless. Blood instantly started gushing from his nose.

’This woman is dead set on disfiguring me!’ Chen Dong thought, narrowing his eyes. ’Who did I even provoke? All I wanted was to survive. Not only did I use up all the Red Dust Dao Radiance I’d accumulated in my sea of consciousness, but now I’ve been beaten up twice—and by people I can’t even fight back against. One I can’t win against, the other I can’t bear to hurt.’

Zisang Jin glanced at Chen Dong from the corner of her eye and said coolly, ”Let’s go. Yang Zhang is dead. His Dao Essence might have been left behind. We’ll go take a look.”

Everyone looked at Chen Dong, waiting for him to lead the way.

But Chen Dong was in a predicament. Mu Qingzhu, in his Jade Embryo, was flat-out refusing to help him.

She said resentfully, ”Just wait here and die! Let it all be destroyed! You pervert!”

Chen Dong felt wronged and sent a mental message, ”I was doing it for everyone!”

”What do you mean, ’for everyone’? You were just taking advantage of her!”

”The emotion-exchange method of the Red Dust Dao can only be done this way! If it weren’t a last resort, I wouldn’t have been willing to part with my radiance!”

Mu Qingzhu snorted coldly. ”Hmph! Excuses!”

Being one entity, and with the Jade Embryo at its third stage, Mu Qingzhu couldn’t peer into Chen Dong’s sea of consciousness, but she could vaguely sense some things, like the increase and decrease of this Six Dao energy.

She had asked Chen Dong about it, but he didn’t know its origin either.

”My dearest sister, that’s Dao Essence we’re talking about. Can’t we go find it first, and you can get mad later?”

”Hmph! Dao Essence? I wouldn’t go even if there was an Immortal Pill that could grant me immediate ascension!”

”How about this: I’ll let you use my body for a day.”

Mu Qingzhu hesitated. It had been a long time since she had felt like she had a body of her own. Even when using the Great Divination Art, it was only for very short periods. The longer she spent in the Jade Embryo, the more she missed the feeling of freedom.

After a moment’s thought, Mu Qingzhu replied, ”One day isn’t enough. I want three!”

”Fine, deal!”

Chen Dong had finally convinced Mu Qingzhu by offering her his body for three days.

Murong Qing, still sulking, thought she had been the one to hurt Chen Dong. Nevertheless, she crouched down beside him, concerned, and touched his face.

”Chen Dong… are you okay? Did I… did I hurt you?”

Chen Dong smiled faintly and shook his head. His left eye suddenly lit up.

”Let’s go. We’ll first see if the Dao Essence is still there, and then we’ll figure out how to get back to the Daoist Race’s territory.”

Chen Dong was once again amazed by the power of the Great Divination Art. It could even deduce the path of the completely unpredictable Sun’s Divine Light. At the same time, he had also deduced that the Anger-Burning Heaven Dao Essence was still there.

There was no point thinking about Yang Zhang’s Demon Pill. His Nascent Soul had been completely annihilated, to say nothing of his Demon Pill.

The Demon Pill is one of the key differences between the Demon Race and demonic beasts. Demonic beasts do not have Demon Pills, but the Demon Race does.

It is similar to a Human Race Golden Core, yet also different.
