Chapter 310: Chapter 180 Ni Chang

The blue-colored Lotus Platform bloomed like a lotus, revealing a narrow space.

Ling He, delicate as a blossom, suddenly entered the interior of the Lotus Platform, appearing as if a lotus bud had sprouted from the platform itself. The process was somewhat eerie.

Zhou Yan hadn’t seen this process clearly.

He didn’t need to.

He knew that Ling He came from the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm, from that place of Lotus Seed Soul Cleansing, and that was enough.

If a woman emerging from this place bore no secrets, that would only make him wary.

Since his great battle with Ji Tianxu, where he had been trapped in the Void, to the appearance of the woman in white with a severed arm, Zhou Yan had realized that she came from the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm.

The Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm, perhaps unknown to others, but Zhou Yan was extremely clear about it in his heart, and he even knew that the shadows within the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm had been severely damaged by his Master.

This was because he had his Master’s memories.

As his own strength grew stronger, the things he could understand increased instinctively.

Zhou Yan didn’t hesitate and flew straight over, landing behind Ling He, facing her back.

"Move... Move a little closer, or the protective barrier won’t open," Ling He said softly, her heart somewhat in turmoil.

Zhou Yan moved forward a bit upon hearing her words and embraced Ling He from behind.

"All set, activate the barrier, then let’s hurry on.

Zhou Yan casually blew hot air into Ling He’s ear as he spoke, his tone, however, was very serious.

Ling He gritted her teeth and activated the Lotus Platform’s guardian barrier.

A transparent barrier suddenly enveloped them, locking the space just so that they were nearly unable to move.

Even Zhou Yan began to wonder whether this woman had deliberately lured him into this situation.

He had thought once the barrier was activated, even if the space was limited, slight movements should be possible, but he hadn’t expected it to freeze them in place, which gave Zhou Yan an uncomfortable sensation.

He had certain thoughts in his mind as well, but he truly did not want to become entangled with a woman like this.

It was a subconscious aversion.

He wasn’t as interested in her as Ling He thought.

"Your... Your sword is extending too long, it’s stabbing into my lower back," said Ling He, her face suddenly growing hot.

Because she suddenly realized that the "sword" was not a sword, but rather...

"This thing never listens to me; I can’t help it. Also, don’t move. The more you do, the more excited it will become," Zhou Yan chuckled.

Ling He was startled, truly afraid to move any further.

At this moment, she found herself at a loss for words, filled with an inexplicable sense of frenzy and panic.

"We’ve known each other for quite a long time, just relax a bit; I’m not going to do anything to you," Zhou Yan said casually, but with a probing undertone.

With such an approach, intentionally disturbing this woman’s heart, Zhou Yan had indeed exerted effort in his words, the probing nature was not overt, akin to casual conversation.

"Yes, thinking about it, we really have known each other for a long time. Back then, I was still young too, if you hadn’t saved me, I’m afraid... I wouldn’t be here today," Ling He reflected naturally.

"Saving you was nothing more than lifting a finger for me, we’re even now, so you needn’t keep it on your mind," Zhou Yan said, puzzled in his heart. When had he ever saved this woman? If it wasn’t him, then it must have been the memories of a True Self that had been killed.

Still, he pretended to know it all.

"Once, naturally, can’t make me worry, but after that, you saved me two more times. The last time, your physical body shattered, your Soul lay in ruins. If it weren’t for the Lord’s Lonely Sword Intent, how could you have had the chance to condense a strand of Soul and approach Reincarnation— Ah— You, you’ve been deceiving me, how despicable you are!"

Ling He seemed to be recalling something, and her complexion changed toward the end, becoming extremely cold!

That softness and confusion suddenly disappeared.

She emanated an icy aura that rejected people from miles away.

"Despicable? I, Zhou Yan, have regained my True Self, and there’s no need for me to be despicable. I just can’t remember some things; otherwise, why do you think my nature would have changed?"

Zhou Yan snorted coldly, and with a thought, the hardness pressing against Ling He retracted naturally.

Ling He also snorted coldly, clenched her teeth tightly, and her complexion grew even colder.

"Really, what if I just said it outright? I, Zhou Yan, do whatever I wish to achieve my goals by any means necessary, and that hasn’t changed even now. Earlier, I was using you, so what? If I hadn’t recovered my True Self, if it were the former me, you wouldn’t even have a chance to speak to me!

The former me was All Hope Lost, heart dead as an abyss. If that is the result you desire, you wouldn’t even have a chance to atone!" Zhou Yan’s words were filled with a cold harshness, a scornful tone; even towards a woman like Ling He, his attitude remained proud and indifferent.

"You... You’ve truly Awakened your True Self?"

"I don’t remember anything else, but I do remember a name—Yao! And, I might know secrets that you are unaware of."

Zhou Yan had a thought and directly threw out the name ’Yao.’

If he had a True Self and had once been a person, then he surely had encountered ’Yao.’

Furthermore, his Master’s choice was likely not so simple.

Zhou Yan didn’t doubt his Master, nor would he suspect his Master, because he had received all of his Master’s legacy.
