Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 1412: Chapter 1371 Miao Conglu

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan immediately felt a surge of anger.

Damn it, forcing me to comply just because I disagree? No wonder people with the Miao surname have such a bad reputation. Acting like bandits and still shamelessly putting on a pitiful expression?

Lu Chuan subconsciously clenched his wrist, wanting to expel the Gu Insect from his body. However, Miao Conglu seemed to have anticipated this and said calmly, “Once you’re poisoned with the Gu Poison, the only way to resolve it is through a Secret Technique, which I happen to know.”

“Is this how you ask for help? No wonder the Southern Border people consider the Miao surname inauspicious. Seeing your behavior, it’s not surprising at all.”

“That’s what people say. If I didn’t do this, would anyone believe me? I must admit, sometimes a bad reputation is more effective than goodwill.”

“I suppose you’re right, but there’s one thing—you underestimate me.”

Lu Chuan curled his lips into a smile. Before Miao Conglu realized what was happening, a pair of jade hands suddenly lifted Miao Conglu’s veil, and an enchanting whisper sounded in her ears.

“Speak up, my dear, what’s the method to remove the Gu Insect?”

It was Yun Ji.

Facing those water-blue eyes, Miao Conglu couldn’t help but become dazed and involuntarily revealed the truth.

“I didn’t actually plant the Gu Poison; I just pricked his finger.”

“Tsk, what a boring trick.”

Hearing this, Yun Ji curled her lips, waved a hand in front of Miao Conglu’s eyes, and her expression returned to normal. Her face turned red, silver teeth clenched tightly, as she stared straight at Lu Chuan.

“Don’t look at me like that. You were unkind first, so don’t blame me. You’d better find someone else.”

“I know why you’re here! It’s said that the old lands of the Nine-tailed Fox Tribe have reappeared in the Southern Border, and you want to investigate, right? I know where the old lands of the Nine-tailed Fox are. As long as you are willing to take me, I can guide you!”

“How do you know?”

Could it be that this matter has spread completely and is no longer a secret?

“Does that even need to be asked? The Miao surname is of the Half-Demon Fox People. Is it strange that I know this?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan finally understood.

No wonder people here are so repulsed by those with the Miao surname. It turns out they are half-demon fox people. But then, why is Yun Yan also so averse to the Miao surname?

As if seeing Lu Chuan’s confusion, Yun Ji explained, “The half-human blood is despised by the Demon Tribe, which believes they are not pure-blood demons. So within the Demon Tribe, they are not well-received. Moreover, the Half-Demon Fox People have a special ability that pure-blood Fox Demons do not possess—Dream Invasion.

Simply put, they can send their Divine Sense into other people’s dreams, influencing the person through suggestion. Moreover, what happens in the dream can affect the body.”

“So, if you’re killed in the dream…”

“Then the body will also die.”

A revelation.

This ability, well, this ability is undeniably overpowered!

A real-life version of ‘I love to kill in dreams’? Such a dangerous ability was enough to make even Lu Chuan apprehensive. However, Yun Ji appeared indifferent as she explained, “Of course, you don’t need to worry too much. This ability can only affect those whose Realm is inferior. Someone like you at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, she doesn’t have the skills for that.”

“That’s good then…”

To fall into an eternal slumber, leaving a dozen widows at home—that thought alone was heartbreaking.

Having determined that Miao Conglu posed no threat and that she indeed knew the way to the Old Lands of Qingqiu, Lu Chuan hesitated for a long time but eventually chose to ignore Yun Yan’s warning and agreed to accompany Miao Conglu.

Noticing this, Yun Yan felt deeply uneasy. She wanted to warn Lu Chuan that the Miao surname people were far more complex than Yun Ji understood. However, at that moment, her soul was so weak that she couldn’t communicate with Lu Chuan at all and found it difficult to even maintain a basic human form.

Thinking of this, Yun Yan raised her head, glaring up at the sky, and spoke, “At this time of all times!”

Thunder rumbled overhead, as if in response.

“You lunatics! Just like that woman, you’re all lunatics!

Has she not made it clear enough? If Lu Chuan dies, she will blow up the Demon Suppression Pagoda and take us down with her. We will all end up with Divine Soul annihilation. What can I do!

Besides, the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint was the first to betray, so why am I the only one punished?”

“The Nine Spirits Primordial Saint… has already accepted the punishment. Now it’s your turn, fox. This is the price of betrayal—remember your stance!”

As if realizing something, the Tower Spirit couldn’t help but sigh softly.

“That guy… awakening so early, even able to bypass me and directly influence the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint and Yun Yan. If the third layer isn’t opened soon to restore power, Yun Yan and the Nine Spirits might be tortured to death by that guy.

Images of the entity imprisoned on the ninth level of the Demon Suppression Pagoda flashed through the Tower Spirit’s mind, evoking a sense of crisis.

It’s that guy who ruined my physical body, forcing me to exist as a Tower Spirit.

I thought the seal would last at least another thousand years, enough time to regain my strength. But unexpectedly, it’s regaining power so quickly.

“I must accelerate the progress. The power of Thousand Faces must be seized!”

…

Meanwhile, in the outside world.

After teaming up with Miao Conglu, Lu Chuan and the three bought some necessities nearby before plunging into the dense forests of the Southern Border. Lu Chuan led the way at the front, with Miao Conglu in the middle, and Yun Ji bringing up the rear.

This arrangement served dual purposes: to fulfill the promise to protect Miao Conglu and to allow Yun Ji to monitor her, preventing any betrayal.

“But… this blade is indeed exceptional.”

Looking at the blade of the Hokuzo Kuniyasutuna in his hand, which glimmered with a chilling light, Lu Chuan was very pleased.

For a start, cutting through iron like mud needs no further elaboration. Lu Chuan was amazed to find that he didn’t even need much effort to nick his own palm with it!

It should be noted that after the transformation of the Primal Chaos Indestructible Body, Lu Chuan’s physical strength rivaled that of a Saint Realm Martial Artist, far surpassing ironstone. Yet, it could still be effortlessly cut open—imagine how sharp this Hokuzo Kuniyasutuna must be!

What’s more, as long as he held this long blade, countless sword techniques would involuntarily flash through his mind.

Unfortunately, he had a one-year agreement with the Artifact Spirit: if, within a year, he couldn’t recreate those sword techniques from memory and talent, he’d have to destroy the long blade. Lu Chuan felt very unwilling.

Such a precious treasure, wouldn’t it be a pity to destroy it like that?
