The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 830: The Fast Flyer Cultivator is Not Just a Name
Chapter 830: The Fast Flyer Cultivator is Not Just a Name
As soon as Ximen Chuan saw her figure, he immediately charged over, shouting, "Nanli! This is too much!"
He struck out with a palm, full of power.
However, his injuries hadn’t healed, and he wasn’t truly intending to kill. Nanli easily dodged it.
She landed behind him, smiling as she spoke, "Why are you covering up the words?"
Ximen Chuan trembled with anger, pointing at his forehead. "You still haven’t removed this mark!"
Otherwise, he would have no choice but to take her life!
"Then why don’t you take a trip to the North Wilderness and collect a divine herb for me?" Nanli, finding words useless, immediately took out a pen and ink and drew it for him. "It’s called the Grass of Five Flames, growing at the volcano’s crater. With your skill and intelligence, it should be easy for you to get."
Ximen Chuan felt pleased by the suggestion.
He raised his head. "Of course..."
The Night Asuras were horrified, quickly grabbing him, saying:
"Lord! Are you crazy?"
"You know how dangerous the North Wilderness is."
"Especially the volcano crater. Even cultivators with lower abilities would be melted."
"Not to mention, there are many demonic beasts there."
One after another, they spoke, and Ximen Chuan snapped back to his senses.
He glared coldly at Nanli. "Sister, though I’m not your real little brother, do you really want me dead this badly?"
He had barely managed to return to the Asura Palace to rescue Yun Shen, and now she wanted him to go to the North Wilderness to fetch a divine herb?
He had never even heard of it, which meant it was no ordinary herb.
And in the North Wilderness, the rarer the herbs, the more perilous the surroundings.
It was said that even immortals had to be cautious there—let alone him!
"How can I get you killed?" Nanli blinked innocently. "You’ve misunderstood me."
"I’m not going!" Ximen Chuan angrily flicked his sleeve. "Even if I have to live with these three words on my forehead and ruin my handsome looks, I won’t do it!"
He suspected that Nanli was trying to use this herb to save Yun Yubai.
Hmph, who’s your real brother after all?
If he had known, he wouldn’t have told her. He had just dug his own grave!
Nanli remained calm and said, "Do this for me, and once it’s done, if Asura Palace follows the rules of Mu Nation, you can settle here."
The Night Asuras exchanged glances, urging Ximen Chuan to agree.
"Lord, please agree! This is a great offer!"
Ximen Chuan was furious at their spinelessness, but he turned to Nanli and said, "That’s not enough. I also want a Spirit Mine!"
Lord, you’re amazing!
The Night Asuras looked at him with admiration.
Cinian frowned. "Lord Ximen, don’t push your luck. You’ve already been given a good opportunity to set up your own faction here."
"I’m putting my life on the line. Even two Spirit Mines wouldn’t be enough," Ximen Chuan said. "I’m asking for one because I consider you as my sister."
Nanli’s expression turned cold. "You can have spirit stones, but Spirit Mines? You’ve got an enormous appetite."
Ximen Chuan disagreed, "You’re asking me to do this for you. Isn’t there some cost to it?"
Mu Nation has so many Spirit Mines—what’s the harm in me asking for one?
Asura Palace has suffered so much to get here.
I have to take care of my subordinates!
"Then I won’t trouble you anymore. I’ll go myself," Nanli said coldly, glaring at him. "Ximen Chuan, take your people and leave the Three Kingdoms of the Human World immediately."
"Why should I!" Ximen Chuan, who had only just arrived, shouted. "Nanli, I don’t believe your Talisman can still control my core energy!"
He was about to make a move.
But Nanli had already made a hand gesture, and immediately, Ximen Chuan’s core energy trembled with intense heat, as though it might explode any moment.
His spiritual power was also suppressed.
Holding his Dantian, he gritted his teeth, "You’re so sinister! Do you dare to... fight me properly?"
Nanli’s expression grew cold.
"Your cultivation level is above mine, so of course, I wouldn’t dare. For someone like you, what’s the point of being sneaky? I’m just protecting myself—I haven’t killed you, have I?"
"Or, do you want to die here?"
"I won’t hesitate to kill someone like you."
Ximen Chuan stiffened, unwilling to back down.
The Night Asuras quickly helped him bow his head. "Master Nanli, that offer is already great! Our Palace Master agrees!"
"It’s too late," Nanli rejected, stopping her actions and glaring at Ximen Chuan. "Take your people and leave."
Ximen Chuan had reached where he was through scheming.
How could he just leave like this?
No way!
He took a few steps forward, looking as fierce as a demon.
The Night Asuras were anxious, worried their master would make a move.
Cinian and the others were worried Nanli might not be able to handle it.
Everyone was on edge.
But at that moment, Ximen Chuan suddenly kneeled, tears streaming down his face, "Sister, I know I was wrong. Please don’t chase me away. If we go back to Immortal World, we’ll all die. I don’t want anything anymore. Just give me a good place to stay."
Seeing this, the Night Asuras also knelt in unison.
Each one more miserable than the last.
Nanli twitched her mouth. These people had no backbone.
But this was actually Ximen Chuan’s wise move.
He knew that to rescue Yun Yubai, if he didn’t endure this humiliation, Nanli would never let him return to Immortal World alive.
Realizing this, he had no choice but to lower his head.
Now, he was completely controlled by Nanli, with no way out!
Nanli spoke, "Since you’re sincerely apologizing, as your sister, I won’t hold it against you. This task is dangerous, so you go ahead and prepare. We’ll leave together shortly."
Ximen Chuan wiped his tears. "Thank you, sister."
He sighed in relief.
Even though it was dangerous and he might lose his life, he had no choice but to go.
There couldn’t be no one in the capital. Shandu had just broken through, and it was most suitable for him to stay.
Ye Yanqin’s cultivation was low and wouldn’t be of much help, so it was naturally better for her not to follow.
Half an hour later, they and the three independent cultivators took off on their swords.
Nanli intentionally flew faster, arriving at Yan Town and explaining the situation to Qiao Dabao and the others, instructing them to wait at a specified location before setting off again.
Ximen Chuan had a competitive spirit. Seeing Nanli detour, he flew even faster.
Thinking to himself, Nanli wouldn’t catch up to him now.
In a good mood, a streak of afterimage suddenly passed by him.
So fast!
Too fast for him to even see who it was.
But then he remembered Nanli was wearing black and red clothes today and his face immediately fell.
