School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 796: Chapter 873: Deja Vu

Two people and a chicken looked at each other and followed her.

Just as they turned around, they heard a ”swoosh” sound. The moment they looked back, they discovered that the three bodies on the ground were gone, undoubtedly taken by the shadow that specialized in consuming corpses.

Looking at where the shadow had disappeared, Zhao Han with lingering fear said, ”Luckily that ghostly thing only eats the dead, otherwise we would all be dead.”

Following the mysterious woman through twists and turns, they walked several hundred meters and arrived at the edge of the Dead City, next to a thick city wall.

”This is the exit.”

The mysterious woman pointed at the city wall and said seriously.

Chen Nan frowned, looking at the towering wall whose top was not visible, and said, ”Are you kidding us? How do we get out like this?”

”Short hair, shorter insight.”

The woman said scornfully and walked towards the city wall.

Watching her, it was as though she was walking into a wall, but when her body touched the wall, she actually passed through it.

The city wall here was actually an illusion. In reality, it was a hidden exit.

Chen Nan quickly walked over as well, his body passing through the city wall to the other side. Looking up, what appeared in front of him was still the towering city wall, but this side of the wall had a city gate.

”This is the true city gate of the Dead City,” said the mysterious woman.

”Thank you,” Chen Nan looked towards the city gate and asked, ”How long ago did Guo Qiye leave?”

The woman shook her head and walked straight towards the city gate, saying, ”It’s been a while, don’t waste your effort, you can’t catch up to him.”

”Only trying will tell,” Chen Nan said.

After they left the city gate of the Dead City, they were back at the place they had entered the Dead City. A huge stele stood there with the words ”Dead City” engraved on it.

”Look quickly, the Dead City has disappeared!” Zhao Han suddenly exclaimed.

Chen Nan quickly turned around, and indeed, just like when they had entered the Dead City, behind the stele was the jungle, containing the huge Three-legged Round Tripod, although the Extreme Cold Treasure had already been sealed by the woman in red, and no cold air was emerging from the tripod now.

The mysterious woman turned back and said, ”This is an ancient formation. If you cross the stele, the Dead City will reappear and trap you inside.”

Chen Nan didn’t doubt her explanation and asked, ”Who exactly are you, how do you know these things? Moreover, we are strangers to each other, why would you lead us out?”

The mysterious woman shook her head, ”Who I am is not important, what matters is that I know who you are.”

Chen Nan stared at her, and after a moment of silence, he solemnly said, ”I always feel there is a familiar air about you; have we met before?”

”No wonder they say you’re a flirtatious character. Is this one of your flirting techniques?”

”I...”

Chen Nan was speechless and said in frustration, ”I’m serious, do we know each other?”

The woman shook her head, ”Never met.”

”Then would you dare to show your true face for me to see?” Chen Nan stepped closer.

The mysterious woman shrugged her shoulders, saying, ”This is my true face. I have not covered it; it’s just that your cultivation is not enough to see through my Protective Light Radiance.”

Chen Nan gave a wry smile helplessly.

This woman’s cultivation was indeed very powerful.

”At least, judging by their own realms and Zhao Han’s, they couldn’t see through each other’s cultivation level, so they just nodded and said, ”Since you don’t want to say, I won’t force you, but you helped us today, which counts as a favor to me. Can I at least have a name to call you by?”

”I’m older than you, you can call me Auntie.” It was clear she didn’t want to reveal her real name.

Chen Nan laughed, ”Judging by your voice, you’re at most in your twenties, telling me to call you Auntie, aren’t you afraid of shortening your life?”

”I don’t mind.”

Chen Nan slapped his forehead, ”But I do mind. Just from your voice, I can tell you’re a beauty. If calling you Auntie ages you prematurely, that would be a huge sin on my part.”

”Cut the crap, your little pick-up tricks won’t work on me.”

”Then teach me something that will.”

”Little kid, Auntie is leaving, no more talking,” she said, then leapt into the air and shot forward.

Chen Nan immediately gave chase.

However, after chasing for a while and realizing the gap was increasing, eventually, he and Zhao Han were left far behind.

The Black Feathered Chicken squawked, ”Stop chasing; it’s pointless. She is simply not in the same league as you guys.”

Chen Nan also knew that the mysterious woman’s cultivation was incredibly strong. Even combined, he and Zhao Han couldn’t compare, but he still wanted to chase, wanting to see just how big the gap was. Moreover, there was another more important reason: he felt that this mysterious woman might be someone he used to know!

But, for the life of him, he couldn’t figure out who among the people he knew had such a powerful cultivation level.

No one, not a single one.

At least, in Chen Nan’s memory, there wasn’t any.

Or rather, which of the people he knew was purposely hiding their strength.

”She’s long gone, what are you still looking at?” Zhao Han punched him on the shoulder and laughed, ”There’s a limit to being lecherous. You can’t win over such a powerful woman, and if you really did, she’d have you kneeling and washing clothes every day!”

Chen Nan shook his head, ”I really know her, I just can’t think of who it is right now.”

Zhao Han sighed and said, ”Brother Chicken, let’s go ahead, let him slowly think about his beauty.”

”Hopeless.”

The Black Feathered Chicken also shook its head and sighed, walking off with Zhao Han.

Chen Nan felt his character must be terribly flawed, as even in such a situation he was deemed to be hitting on someone. He bitterly laughed, ”Assuming the thoughts of a pervert are the thoughts of a gentleman, I can’t be bothered to argue with you guys. I almost forgot about that bastard Guo Qiye, hurry and catch up.”

It was then that Zhao Han and the Black Feathered Chicken also remembered, quickly pursuing in the direction ahead.

However, as the mysterious woman had said, Guo Qiye was already far ahead. When they reached the first stele, Guo Qiye was nowhere to be seen.

However, the Earth Masters lingering on the outside were glaring hungrily.

Clearly, they couldn’t pass the stele, so they were waiting here for those inside to come out, to make their move and wrest away the Extreme Cold Treasure.

”Chen Nan, Zhao Han, I’ve heard that the Extreme Cold Treasure is in your possession. Hand it over nicely, lest we have to take it by force and harm you,” an Earth Master said.

At that moment, outside the stele, seven Earth Masters along with dozens of cultivators had gathered.

Not to mention Chen Nan and Zhao Han, even ten of them together couldn’t break out, given the vast disparity between their abilities and those of the Earth Masters and cultivators.

(Why do people ask about my gender, are they looking to set me up with girls? I’m a male, born in the ’90s, unmarried, and, well, pretty handsome...)
