Zhu Que was cooking in the kitchen. She had been learning how to cook for a long time, all for this day, to prepare a meal for the one she loved.When Chen Nian saw this, he immediately approached and hugged Zhu Que from behind. Their closeness was no longer in doubt after meeting again.“What are you cooking?” Chen Nian asked, resting his chin on Zhu Que’s shoulder.If others were to see this, they might melt at how harmonious and well-matched they looked.“Go away, you’re disturbing this beautiful queen while she’s cooking!” Zhu Que was not friendly at all in her response. Even so, Chen Nian already knew how to deal with her. He remained in that provocative position, unwilling to change it.After all the dishes were ready, the two of them ate together. No one spoke. They simply ate, savoring every bite and chew, enjoying each moment.“I’m going to the Western Region to look for a missing ingredient!” Only after finishing the meal did Chen Nian finally speak, revealing his intention.

Chen Nian attended the banquet hosted by the Ling Clan, where all first-tier clans came to establish ties with Chen Nian. The banquet was indeed held for Chen Nian, and it also emphasized that the relationship between the Ling Clan and Chen Nian was extremely close. The Ling Clan thus became the bridge through which they could connect with the Crimson Palace.After everything was concluded, Chen Nian and Zhu Que shot into the sky, heading toward the Western Region. There was nothing left to worry about in the Southern Region, since almost all top clans had already affiliated themselves with the Crimson Palace.Having never been to the west before, Chen Nian was unable to determine the direction if he were to tear through space. Although spatial tearing would allow him to arrive easily, unfortunately he could not do so.Flying for days on end was exhausting and consumed a great deal of energy, so Chen Nian decided to board a large ship at the deep-sea border port.The two of them lande

“Monster Formation, activate!” Everyone fired beams of light into the sky. There, a formation point appeared. With the light from their palms, a massive rune was formed and expanded until it enveloped the marked area.In an instant, dozens of monsters appeared with pitch-black eyes, resembling zombies. They attacked Chen Nian without hesitation. Chen Nian did not move. He merely smiled as he faced the onslaught of zombie-like beast monsters of various forms: tigers, leopards, lions, snakes, and several other shapes charging at him together.Facing all of that, Chen Nian performed a bare-handed slash, and lightning verses appeared out of thin air, crashing into the dozens of monsters. The most admirable thing about lightning was its unique ability to destroy dark energy, while those dozens of monsters were formed entirely from dark magic.Chen Nian suspected they came from the Sorcerer King faction. But that was merely a guess. He didn’t want to jump to conclusions too quickly.Boom! B

After officially becoming a slave, Zhang Miran was taken out of the Dragon Pagoda by Chen Nian. He was ordered to search for people from the Poison Palace, while Chen Nian himself went to look for the Sorcerer King.Chen Nian still did not know that Skyler knew about the whereabouts of the Sorcerer King. If he had known, there was no way he would have let him go.Zhu Que did not follow Chen Nian. She wanted to train inside the Dragon Pagoda to strengthen her Fire techniques.… …Calias, on the other end, stood on the balcony of a towering residence. He gazed at the sky corridor filled with clouds while waiting for news about Chen Nian’s whereabouts, the man he was targeting. However, no news had arrived yet, which made him somewhat uneasy. He took out his communication device.“Laurens, I would like to ask for your help now. Come to my place!” said the Sorcerer King, Calias, politely. Even when asking for help, he still had to use reason.“Wait!” Laurens replied.Not long after, a bea

“Why? Am I not pretty enough? Which part of me is unattractive!?”Carissa thrust out her ample chest and slightly pulled aside the purple robe she was wearing, allowing her jade-white thighs to shimmer into view.“Don’t tease me. I’m not a holy man!” Chen Nian said without looking at Carissa, even though he knew exactly what she was doing.“Hahaha. I like young men like you! Come on. I can make you happy.”Carissa laughed as she stared at Chen Nian. In her eyes, Chen Nian had no way of resisting her will, not only because of her charm but also because of her strength. She could subdue the young man without any effort.Unfortunately, her assumption was wrong. Chen Nian was not only unaffected, he was also not someone who could be easily subdued.“I finally found you. Carissa! Why are you here, and who is he?”Bendot asked while glaring fiercely at Chen Nian, who was leaning back in a very relaxed manner. “Hey… do you know who the woman in front of you is? She is Carissa of the Rainer C
