Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1339 - 1339 1298 The Agreement

1339: Chapter 1298: The Agreement 1339: Chapter 1298: The Agreement “Yurou, do you know if there’s been any significant change at the Azure Dragon Academy in recent years?”

“The Azure Dragon Academy rarely shows itself in the mortal world.

I don’t know much about its affairs either.

Brother Lu Chuan, why are you suddenly interested in the Azure Dragon Academy?” Tang Yurou asked curiously.

“No, it’s nothing… I mean, Yurou, when are you planning to return to your room to sleep?”

“Hmm, sleep together…

is that not okay?”

Tang Yurou blinked her eyes, trying to play innocent.

Unfortunately for her, she had used this trick far too many times, and Lu Chuan was already immune to it.

After wrapping Tang Yurou in a quilt and tossing her back into her room, Lu Chuan finally let out a long breath of relief.

After all, having just endured Nalan Xuan’s teasing, and then with Tang Yurou throwing herself into the mix, the fire in Lu Chuan’s chest hadn’t completely died down yet.

If he truly let Tang Yurou stay, who knows what might happen.

If possible, Lu Chuan wanted to avoid such a situation.

“But still…

why did Nalan Xuan react so strongly when she heard the three words ‘Human Emperor’s Pendant’?”

Resting his arms behind his head, Lu Chuan pondered for a long time without finding an answer.

In the end, he decided to set the matter aside for now.

The Azure Dragon Academy wasn’t going anywhere—it wouldn’t suddenly disappear.

At worst, he would just have to visit it more often.

If necessary, he wasn’t entirely opposed to sacrificing some of his charm…

“I’ll wait a few days and talk about it again once Nalan Xuan calms down,” he murmured to himself.

…

Early the next morning, Tang Yurou was already pounding on the door to Lu Chuan’s room.

However, Lu Chuan, having anticipated this, had set up a barrier in advance.

With Tang Yurou’s strength, there was no way she could break through the ward he had erected.

“Brother Lu Chuan!

Open the door!

I know you’re in there; stop hiding and staying silent!

If you’ve got the guts to sneak out for fun, then you’ve got the guts to open the door!”

“She’s even noisier than you.

Why not just give in to her already?”

“Heh!

Has the sun risen in the west today?

You’re actually taking the initiative to talk to me.”

Lu Chuan curled the corners of his mouth into a bitter smile.

“It’s just a pity that, in the end, you’re only the spirit wisdom nurtured within the Divine Artifact.

What do you know about human emotions?

The karmic entanglements around me are too heavy.

Getting involved with me is definitely not a good thing, and you’re well aware of this, aren’t you?”

“Didn’t expect it—I thought you had the kind of personality to welcome anyone and everyone.”

The Tower Spirit snorted coldly and stopped speaking.

Lu Chuan didn’t bother explaining.

He struggled to sit up and casually waved his hand, nullifying the barrier around the room.

Tang Yurou finally managed to knock the door open.

“It’s so early.

If you’re not sleeping, other people still need their rest.

What’s the matter?”

“Breakfast!”

“Go to the kitchen for breakfast.

Why are you coming to my room?”

“Well…

that’s none of your business!”

Tang Yurou’s face flushed red as she quickly walked over to sit beside Lu Chuan.

Taking advantage of his moment of distraction, she reached straight for the sash at his waist.

Unfortunately for her, even the clothes Lu Chuan wore were Magic Artifacts, so naturally, they were beyond Tang Yurou’s ability to tamper with.

“You…

you’re guarding against me?!”

“Shouldn’t I be?”

“You’ve truly broken my heart, Brother Lu Chuan!

You actually…

ouch!”

After several attempts to no avail, Tang Yurou, out of frustration, leaned down and bit the sash, only to almost crack her teeth on it.

“Are you stupid?

This is a Magic Artifact.

If your teeth could break a Magic Artifact, that would be something worth bragging about.”

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes and used a gentle burst of spiritual power to push Tang Yurou away.

“Oh, come on, Brother Lu Chuan!

Just give in to me already!

How many times does a girl have to make the first move for you to notice?

Anyone else is fine, but not me?

What’s so wrong with me?”

“This has nothing to do with that, Yurou.

It’s just…

if we get entangled in karma, your safety will be at risk.”

“I’m not afraid of danger!”

“A mere fake medicine dealer almost managed to abduct you.

Do you think that statement holds any weight?

Let’s make a deal: when you manage to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, I’ll agree to your request.

But there’s a condition: you’re not allowed to rely on external forces or to cultivate any questionable techniques.”

“Really?”

Tang Yurou’s eyes lit up immediately.

Sure, the Nascent Soul Realm seemed far out of reach at the moment, but at least now she had a goal to strive toward.

It was much better than her current state of uncertainty about whether or not to persist.

“But Brother Lu Chuan, the Nascent Soul Realm is so hard to reach…

can Golden Core Realm suffice?”

“No bargaining.

Besides, with your innate talent, if you’re determined to cultivate, it won’t take long.”

“Hmm…

Golden Core, Fifth Layer?”

Under Lu Chuan’s firm gaze, Tang Yurou stuck out her tongue, finally nodding in agreement.

“Then I’m going back to cultivate now, Brother Lu Chuan.

You better keep your word!”

“Don’t worry.

As long as you reach Nascent Soul Realm, I’ll honor my side of the deal.”

…

Watching Tang Yurou leave, Lu Chuan let out another long sigh of relief.

He knew deep down that he probably couldn’t change Yurou’s mind.

It’d be better to use this opportunity to shift her focus toward cultivation.

By the time she broke into the Nascent Soul Realm, his own cultivation level would naturally rise as well.

At that point, the karmic entanglements would likely no longer be a concern.

But something felt off…

Carefully sensing it again, Lu Chuan realized that the remnant trace of his energy placed within Ji Weiwei had completely vanished.

When he returned last night, the trace had already thinned, but he hadn’t paid much attention at the time.

Yet, in the span of just one night, it had disappeared without a trace.

For someone at his level, Nascent Soul Realm, this was highly unusual.

Even if Ji Weiwei’s behavior had been influenced by Thousand Faces, how could she possibly detect the energy he had embedded in her?

Frowning slightly, Lu Chuan’s thoughts grew heavier.

Late last night, the final location where his energy within Ji Weiwei had been active was still within Qingyang City, though it had shifted from the city center to the outskirts.

This was strange.

To his knowledge, Ji Weiwei didn’t have any close family or friends in that area.

Why would she suddenly head to the outskirts?

If he remembered correctly, many Evil Cultivators lurked near the outskirts.

That wasn’t a safe place at all…

“Could it be that Thousand Faces is nearby?”

“Its aura can’t be detected.

Most likely, it’s hiding its presence to avoid being discovered.

But there’s also the possibility that Ji Weiwei, under Thousand Faces’ influence, can locate its position.

If that’s the case, and Thousand Faces ends up possessing Ji Weiwei again, it’ll become exceedingly difficult to extract it.”

It had to be noted that Thousand Faces was already on guard.

Over the past period of time, some of its power must have recovered.

The last time they tried to trap it, despite setting an elaborate scheme, they had failed to pin it down.

Future attempts would only grow more challenging.

More importantly, Ji Weiwei’s body could no longer withstand another round of devastation.

With this in mind, Lu Chuan stopped hesitating and immediately set out for the outskirts.
