The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor’s Corpse
Chapter 464 - 465: Star Core!

Chapter 464: Chapter 465: Star Core!

Nanny Chen spoke up immediately upon hearing that.

"I beg Fairy Zhou, for the sake of the many years I’ve protected you, spare my life! Please!" she pleaded.

*Who wants to die?* *Especially Nanny Chen, who had just escaped the peril of death, she didn’t want to experience that suffocating feeling of dying again.*

*It was terrifying!*

"Your life is in Young Master Yang’s hands, begging me is useless," Zhou Ruxian said naturally.

Nanny Chen was her protector, but in reality, was also sent by the Dongfang Pavilion to keep an eye on her.

She reported all matters to them, so Zhou Ruxian felt no kindness or affection towards her.

"Young Master Yang, yes, it’s Young Master Yang!

I was wrong, it’s my fault!

I shouldn’t have looked down on you, shouldn’t have underestimated you.

If you’re angry, you can hit me.

Just don’t kill me, let me live like a dog!"

As she spoke, she slapped her face several times.

Her face turned red and swollen.

"Stop, I can spare your life,

but from now on, you must follow my commands," Yang Yan said indifferently.

Yang Yan could easily kill Nanny Chen.

If Nanny Chen had died just now, it would have been over and done with, irrelevant!

But since Nanny Chen hadn’t died yet and was begging for mercy!

Then she shouldn’t die for now!

Yang Yan was about to embark on a journey to the Mountain Town, a distant and perilous road ahead. Who would deal with the dangers?

Let him handle it?

As an emperor, was he to deal with every small fry personally? That would be ridiculous!

Let Shangguan Yunlian and Zhou Ruxian handle it?

These two couldn’t withstand a confrontation with cultivators of the Immortal Realm either!

They still needed him!

Therefore, he decided to keep Nanny Chen alive, to help clear dangers along the way.

As for how to dispose of her after reaching the Mountain Town, that would depend on his mood at the time!

*To serve a king is like accompanying a tiger, and he was the king!*

Nanny Chen was merely a servant at his side!

*Whether she lived or died, it all depended on his momentary mood.*

Upon hearing Yang Yan’s words, Nanny Chen sprang from the water, channeling her Profound Qi, and knelt sliding on the water’s surface.

"Thank you, Young Master Yang, for sparing my life. I am willing to follow your orders.

Any command will do!" she agreed without hesitation.

*To survive, she was willing to do anything.*

"Good, you may now follow Zhou Ruxian’s arrangements to carry out tasks." Yang Yan’s figure slowly descended, returning to the flower boat.

Zhou Ruxian then spoke to Nanny Chen.

"Take the people and find another boat!"

"Yes, Miss Ruxian," Nanny Chen replied politely to Zhou Ruxian.

Previously, she addressed Zhou Ruxian by her name directly.

Then, Nanny Chen stood up, leading the remaining Immortal Realm cultivators and those of the Dragon Transformation Realm to accomplish Zhou Ruxian’s wishes.

After Nanny Chen left, Zhou Ruxian stood by the ship’s edge, sending her voice across the Inner Sea’s surface.

Her voice turned into ripples, spreading outward.

With a splash, a silly big head emerged from the water— a fish dragon.

It sneaked a glance at Yang Yan and slowly moved toward Zhou Ruxian’s position.

"It seemed quite afraid of Young Master Yang!" Zhou Ruxian thought.

She casually patted the fish dragon’s head!

"Remember to take us ahead later, directly to the Mountain Town,

and don’t stop for anyone who tries to obstruct us, understood?" she instructed.

The fish dragon nodded, making a gurgling sound.

Before long, Nanny Chen and her subordinates found an undamaged large boat.

"Young Master Yang, please board the ship!" she bowed and said.

Yang Yan, supported by Shangguan Yunlian, boarded the new ship from the broken flower boat.

"Fairy Zhou, please!" Nanny Chen continued.

Zhou Ruxian didn’t immediately board the ship; instead, she pointed to the fish dragon.

"Have them retrieve the rope knots from the flower boat and secure them on the fish dragon.

Then come with me. I have something to instruct you on," she directed.

Nanny Chen’s face grew serious.

"Yes."

She waved her hand, giving a few instructions.

Her subordinates left to carry out her orders.

Nanny Chen personally followed Zhou Ruxian aside, standing cautiously by her side.

"Fairy Zhou, what are your instructions?"

Zhou Ruxian spoke expressionlessly.

"I know that at intervals, you report what happens on the ship back to the Dongfang Pavilion using a Secret Technique."

Nanny Chen’s expression shifted slightly.

"Yes, Fairy Zhou, I did so because it was requested by the elders of the Pavilion.

I had no choice; otherwise, I’d lose my head!" she responded.

"Fairy Zhou, are you asking me not to do this in the future?

That won’t work!

If I don’t send reports back, the Dongfang Pavilion will send someone to kill me and replace me with another to manage this place.

You know, although the Inner Sea seems vast,

in the face of the Dongfang Pavilion, it’s nothing more than a stream." Nanny Chen said, lowering her head.

Zhou Ruxian shook her head.

"No, you still need to send reports,

but don’t disclose my illness or matters concerning Young Master Yang.

I don’t want to put Young Master Yang in danger because of myself."

Nanny Chen visibly relaxed.

"So that’s it!

I thought Fairy Zhou you wanted to elope with Young Master Yang and cover it up.

It’s a relief it’s not that!

Alright, rest assured.

I won’t leak any information about you and Young Master Yang.

In the future either!

Whenever you meet or interact with Young Master Yang, I’ll act as if I saw nothing!

I’ll even step aside, allowing you to interact freely!"

What she said made Zhou Ruxian blush as if implying something inappropriate between her and Yang Yan.

"Good, keep it in mind, and go handle your tasks properly."

"Understood."

Nanny Chen left, and Zhou Ruxian walked towards the interior of the ship.

"Elope? I can’t elope, nor can I escape!

It’s the Dongfang Pavilion we’re talking about!"

*She was aware of the Dongfang Pavilion’s strength.*

*Given her current cultivation level, there was absolutely no way to escape.*

*Even entertaining such thoughts could result in the deaths of many!*

"Young Master Yang saved my life. How can I not be grateful to him, and instead harm him!" she thought, pressing her red lips together.

She boarded the ship and went to Yang Yan’s room.

"Young Master Yang, everything is arranged.

Soon we can leave this place and head to the Mountain Town."

"Good, come sit down.

I will tell you about your illness and how to save you," Yang Yan said, sitting on a bench.

"Coming!"

Zhou Ruxian closed the room door and sat beside Yang Yan.

"Please, go on!"

Yang Yan began.

"When I first saw the stone flower in your mind,

I noticed it was imbued with Star Power, which led me to think

the flower might be a fragment of a Star Core that became part of you through a fortunate encounter, becoming your Root Bone!"

Star Core!

"I only read about it in ancient texts; it’s the core of an outer-space star, filled with immense Star Power, which even a Saint cannot easily obtain.

No wonder the expert from Dongfang Pavilion said someone must pluck the stars and moon for my treatment.

They must have known the root cause of my ailment all along!

Too bad I’m just an Oiran!

They aren’t willing to exert themselves to invite celestial Saints to treat me!

If my status was higher, perhaps Dongfang Pavilion would have asked a celestial Saint to treat me.

Instead of only giving me vague hints," Zhou Ruxian said seriously.

She made money for Dongfang Pavilion, yet they wanted to stand by and watch her die.

*This filled her heart with considerable resentment towards Dongfang Pavilion.*

"Yes, the stone flower in your mind shattered because the Star Power within it vanished.

Only by replenishing the Star Power can it regain integrity and bloom again.

Thus, I conceived two treatment methods. One involves reimagining the Skyful Stars Swordsmanship, creating another cultivation technique.

Using the power of the stone flower in your mind as the source, to summon down the full force of this Star Core to replenish your strength.

The sole issue was whether the source was still present.

Fortunately, the attempt succeeded!

The source of the Star Core in your mind still exists and is linked to the moon above.

There is a connection between you and it!"

"There is a connection between the moon and me!" Zhou Ruxian murmured softly.

She didn’t know what that connection was!

"Young Master Yang, do you know what connection I have with the moon?"
