Chapter 352: Chapter 313: Young Girl Chenn Ruo (Second Update)

In the East District, a streak of light suddenly shot into the sky, taking advantage of the moment when everyone’s attention was on the Red-scaled King intimidating Ye Chen. It moved with extreme speed, cutting through Changkong to leave.

"It’s her, the thief, not this boy. Chase her quickly!"

While communicating with the Red-scaled King and others, the powerhouses searching the East District also gave chase.

But the streak of light was exceedingly fast, and it instantly transcended the pursuit of the Red God Valley’s powerhouses, escaping outside the city.

"Don’t let her get away, chase her quickly!"

Other powerhouses in the city from Red God Valley all soared into the sky in pursuit, including the Red-scaled King. After giving Ye Chen a sinister glance, he transformed into a red streak of light and sped past, much faster than the rest of Red God Valley’s forces.

The Semi-Saint naturally followed behind, bidding farewell to the Semi-Saint in the city with a stride, and then vanished without a trace.

From then on, many people in the city finally heaved a sigh of relief. Most harbored resentment, immensely disgruntled, as the people from Red God Valley were too domineering, acting so arrogantly. If not for the presence of a Semi-Saint in the city, they would have been utterly unrestrained.

Many also felt fortunate for Ye Chen, if not for the thief’s sudden escape, once the Red-scaled King made his move, it certainly would have been too much for the young man to withstand.

Ye Chen didn’t explain and silently turned to leave. When he arrived at a deserted alley, he suddenly stopped and said, "Having followed me for so long, perhaps it’s time you showed yourself. Sneaking around isn’t a behavior befitting a powerful person."

His senses were incredibly acute; he had long sensed someone trailing him. The presence was quite obscure, flickering in and out of perception. Without his keen senses and the partial enhancement from Void Dao Divine Blood, he would have hardly noticed.

It showed how adept the other party was at concealing themselves.

"Eh, you actually noticed my presence." A voice like silver bells rang out, distinct and reminiscent of beads falling on a jade plate, somewhat familiar.

In the void behind him, a figure suddenly appeared, shrouded in a pitch-black robe that concealed her form, making it impossible to discern her features. The extraordinary robe seemed to be no ordinary object, even preventing Ye Chen’s keen senses from seeing the girl’s face. However, one could vaguely make out the exquisitely graceful figure of the girl standing tall and slender beneath the robe.

Ye Chen focused on the black-robed girl in front of him, not knowing who she was, but feeling a sense of déjà vu, he couldn’t help asking, "Who are you?"

Beneath the robe, the vague outline of the girl’s face was visible, exuding a special, mysterious beauty. One could predict she was an unparalleled beauty, seemingly furrowing her delicate brows, appearing very alert, and scoffed, "Why do you ask? Are you trying to pursue me?"

Ye Chen was dumbstruck. How was this related? He felt he couldn’t keep up with the girl’s train of thought and quickly said, "Miss, you misunderstand. I meant no such thing."

"Really?" The girl still sounded cautious. Beneath the robe, one could see a pair of clear eyes as profound as an autumn pool, radiating flawless spiritual energy, compelling anyone who met her gaze to tremble slightly.

These eyes were not only clear and bright but seemed as if they could see through all secrets.

Ye Chen was startled, nearly feeling his blood qi boil over. Elder Yan’s voice also echoed in his mind, "Little Chenzi, don’t underestimate this girl. She’s extraordinary, much more than you might think. I can’t even see through her origin; there’s something blocking it."

Ye Chen was astonished. Just who was this girl in front of him? She was certainly no ordinary person.

Only to hear the girl say, "I’m sorry, because ’Black-faced Uncle’ once told me that if a boy asks who I am the first time he meets me, he must be trying to pursue me, so I might have misunderstood."

What kind of logic is this, asking who you are when meeting you for the first time as a way of pursuing you? Ye Chen felt a bit overwhelmed. The girl’s thinking was simply off the charts.

"You must be the thief who stole the treasure from Red God Valley," Ye Chen suddenly asked.

The girl scoffed, saying, "What is so great about the mysterious Red God Valley? With its defenses, its many experts—hah! Miss here entered with absolutely no difficulty; I breezed right through those so-called Array defenses. There is nowhere in the world that can stop me when I am involved."

This girl boasted incredibly, even Ye Chen wouldn’t dare so boldly claim. Yet hearing the girl’s words, she seemed entirely like a child, probably a little princess from some major power.

Then the girl said, "You should thank me. If it weren’t for the illusion I cast that distracted those people, allowing the theft, you would have been killed by that Red-scaled King."

Ye Chen was speechless. If it weren’t for you, why would I have been targeted at all?

"By the way, what is your name?" the girl suddenly asked.

"Ye Chen." Ye Chen didn’t hide his identity; his name was very common, and it certainly couldn’t reveal that he had come from Tiandu Continent, so no need to hide.

"Ye Chen, Ye Chen, this name is so-so, pretty average." The black-robed girl judged perfunctorily, then chuckled, "Alright, remember this: Miss here is called Chenn Ruo."

Chenn Ruo? The name was indeed elegant. Ye Chen silently noted the name, then waved his hands, "Miss Chenn Ruo, if there’s nothing else, let us part ways here."

Having said that, he turned to leave in search of the Domain Lord Divine City to pass through to the Ten Thousand Domain Center.

Chenn Ruo blinked her clear, large eyes and looked at Ye Chen, saying, "Hey, Ye Chen, where are you going?"

"Leaving this place."

"I am going too," Chenn Ruo followed him.

"Miss Chenn Ruo, where do you want to go?" Ye Chen asked.

"Wherever you go, I will follow," Chenn Ruo replied.

Ye Chen turned, his eyes earnestly staring at the girl, and said seriously, "Miss Chenn Ruo, you are a girl, and I am a boy. Don’t you fear it might be dangerous for us to be together alone?"

"I’m not afraid. I have treasures my mother left me, as well as other treasures given by uncles; if you dare harbor any improper thoughts, I’ll send you straight to West Heaven." As she spoke, Chenn Ruo waved her cute pink fists, ferociously threatening, yet she still looked utterly naïve and adorable.

Ye Chen couldn’t help but smile genuinely, finding the girl truly innocent and cute, hard to harm.

"Little Chenzi, just let her follow. This little girl likely has an extraordinary background, not fearing the Immortal Sacred Land. Having her by your side might save a lot of trouble when needed," Elder Yan advised.

Ye Chen nodded, but the main reason was, for some reason, he always felt a strange closeness to the girl, wanting to be near her, reluctant to leave her alone.
