Chapter 321: Chapter 315: The Mysterious Girl (Massive Update 9)

"Cough cough..." Su Chen almost choked to death, he dropped a Crimson Xuan Stone and said, "No need for change!"

Then, Su Chen stood up, his mind stirred, and the Fire Dragon Grass had already entered the Azure Mysterious Ring, finally he breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, he wanted to leave.

But then.

The girl dressed in red beast skin blocked his way, "Big Brother, you haven’t thanked me yet! I saved you two Crimson Xuan Stones!"

"Thank you!" Su Chen could only express his gratitude.

"That’s not sincere. If you really want to thank me, take me out for a meal!" The girl blinked her eyes, her beautiful pupils becoming even more sparkling; she seemed to want to see the face hidden under the black cloak.

"Er, I’m actually quite busy, in a hurry..." Su Chen was frustrated, "How about this, I’ll give you a Crimson Xuan Stone as my treat, and you can go eat by yourself!"

"Hmph! Big Brother, you’re so vulgar! This lady does not lack Mysterious Stones!" The girl snorted, pouted her lips, yet she was holding a Zixuan Stone in her hand: "Look, this Zixuan Stone of mine is worth a thousand of your Crimson Xuan Stones!"

Su Chen’s mouth twitched!!!

He was astonished.

Damn.

He’d run into a wealthy character.

Zixuan Stone.

Impressive!

Truly impressive!

He finally took a serious look at the girl in front of him, with that look, Su Chen couldn’t help but become solemn, "I actually can’t see through her?"

"Kid, you sure have a way with women, and every time, it’s not just any woman..." Jiuyou teased, "The identity of the girl in front of you is very, very, very interesting!"

"What identity? Tell me!"

"I won’t tell you..." Jiuyou inexplicably became a bit playful.

Su Chen was exasperated, his head full of black lines, "Um, little sister, I really have something urgent to do, how about I treat you next time?"

"I can see you’re in a rush, so anxious, and covered up so tightly, afraid that others will recognize you. Big Brother, who exactly are you? I’m really curious now!" The girl’s beautiful eyes shone brighter and brighter, and her two black ponytails swayed slightly, looking incredibly cute.

But Su Chen didn’t have the mood to appreciate the girl’s cuteness, beauty, or loveliness.

He just wanted to get to the Spirit River as quickly as possible.

"Looks like Xiao Xiao guessed right!" The girl smiled triumphantly, "Could it be that you’re the famous Su Chen from the Earth plane, who’s made quite a name these past few days?"

Su Chen suddenly held his breath!!!

He cursed inside.

She guessed it.

She guessed right on the spot.

"Eh, Big Brother, you actually held your breath, and also subconsciously stepped back a little bit. It seems that Xiao Xiao really guessed right!" Xiao Xiao was extremely thrilled, "Brother Chen, you’ve got to tell me how you did it! How did you get Sister Qing Wu to save you? Does Sister Qing Wu like you?"

Su Chen was completely helpless.

Xiao Xiao’s voice wasn’t quiet at all.

People around were already starting to look over to him and Xiao Xiao.

If this went on, he’d soon be completely exposed.

He grabbed Xiao Xiao’s hand in one swift motion and barked, "Follow me! No more nonsense!"

"Okay!" Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously but there was a glint of annoyance in her eyes as she subtly withdrew her little hand from Su Chen’s grasp.

Next.

Su Chen remained silent, merely quickening his pace.

Xiao Xiao closely followed behind him.

Before long, Xiao Xiao spoke up, "It’s the direction of the Spirit River! Are you going to the Spirit River? Brother Chen, we really must be fated! I was also planning to go to the Spirit River! A Martial Cultivator has only one chance in their lifetime to choose a Cultivation Room in the Spirit River... we can go together!"

"Such a monster!" Su Chen felt helpless; there was no doubt that Xiao Xiao was intelligent. Not only did she guess his identity, but her ability to deduce his destination based on the direction he was moving in was monstrous enough.

"Brother Chen, being so silent and uncommunicative, you probably aren’t popular with girls, right? How could Sister Qing Wu fall for you?" Xiao Xiao chirped again with her questions.

Su Chen was truly frustrated.

Unable to help himself, he quickened his pace again, hoping to shake off Xiao Xiao if possible.

But in fact, no matter how much he sped up, Xiao Xiao stuck closely to him, not missing a beat!

Even a fool like Su Chen knew then that Xiao Xiao must be incredibly powerful!!!

About half a Shichen later.

Finally.

They arrived.

Looking up, there was a stele.

A massive tombstone about thirty meters high, completely black.

Carved on the tombstone were the characters for ’Spirit River,’ the script fluid and elegant, and furthermore, the lettering carried an indescribable intent, as if staring at those characters could completely draw in one’s gaze.

"Brother Chen, don’t bother looking at that tombstone; it’s been there for thousands of years. The intent inscribed upon it has faded by over ninety percent, and there’s nothing worth seeing anymore. Let’s hurry and choose a Spirit River Cultivation Room!" Xiao Xiao suddenly hooked Su Chen’s arm.

"Where is the Spirit River?" Su Chen asked. In front of him, there was only this tombstone!

"You’ll know in a moment!" Xiao Xiao giggled, pulling Su Chen forward.

The next second.

Su Chen’s face underwent a drastic change!

He suddenly felt as though he had fallen into another world.

And before him.

The view had totally transformed, revealing a vast river!!!

This great river was milky white, vast and mighty, with surging waves continuously crashing and roaring.

Su Chen stared blankly ahead.

Upon closer inspection, he could barely make out gray-black little houses within the milky white river, which must be the individual Cultivation Rooms.

What a spectacular sight!

Several breaths later, Su Chen’s thoughts finally returned, and he noticed that along the riverbank of this milky-white river, and not far from where he stood, there were no fewer than a hundred people.

They were all watching the river in shock, anticipation, and excitement.

"Big Brother, this river is the Spirit River. Legend has it that thousands of years ago, the river was filled with Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Liquid so potent that just breathing in at the bank could make one breakthrough. But that’s not the case anymore; the terrifying Spiritual Energy Flow in the Spirit River has been assigned to various Cultivation Rooms unevenly," Xiao Xiao explained.

Xiao Xiao had just finished speaking.

Suddenly.

Su Chen’s pupils constricted sharply, unblinking; and in his eyes, there was an old crone who seemed to walk on level ground coming from the opposite side of the Spirit River. With every step she took on the river, the viciously swirling foam that nearly touched her would dissipate into the void.

"Such terrifying strength!" Su Chen muttered to himself, his tone grave.

"Of course it’s terrifying, she’s the River Guardian Deity!" Xiao Xiao spoke. Oddly, her voice wasn’t filled with much reverence, "The River Guardian Deity has been protecting the Spirit River for thousands of years. She upholds order, for example, each person choosing a Cultivation Room must pay three Crimson Xuan Stones, and each person can only choose a Spirit River Cultivation Room once in their lifetime."
