School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 1117: Chapter 1203: Waves Surging, Sheng Mutation Emerges

This place is a section where the Ningjiang River flows through the forest, with no inhabitants around.

However, at this moment, there are already more than ten people gathered on both banks of the river. These people are cultivators living nearby who hurried over after seeing the anomaly.

Yet, among the ten or so gathered, there are no real masters present.

Chen Nan swept a glance across the area and found that the strongest among them reached only the Fourth Layer Heaven in Qi Dao. He then unleashed his powerful aura, looking at those below and asking, ”Does anyone know what’s going on here?”

Seeing him standing in the void above, everyone quickly clasped their fists in respect and then began to respond, unsure of the situation.

At this moment, a pink figure rushed through the moonlight, flying towards this direction swiftly. Chen Nan looked closely and found Hua Xian’er had returned.

She came close to Chen Nan and pointed at the illusion on the river’s surface, saying, ”What’s happening here?”

”I don’t know. I came here after seeing the anomaly too,” Chen Nan replied.

Hua Xian’er looked serious and murmured to herself, ”A sudden anomaly for no reason, could something else be about to happen?”

Chen Nan approached her and handed the Thunder Element talisman he picked up in the forest to her, saying, ”This should be yours, right?”

Hua Xian’er’s face changed.

She quickly felt her neck and found that the pendant was no longer there, frowning, ”How did this end up in your hand?”

”I picked it up in the forest. Here, keep it safe, and don’t lose it again,” Chen Nan felt a bit puzzled inside. Could this item be more than just a talisman, or why would she be so anxious?

Staring at the Thunder Element pendant, Hua Xian’er’s eyes sparkled.

After a moment, she shook her head and said, ”Forget it. Since you’ve picked it up, you can keep it.”

”How can that be right? From your reaction earlier, this item must be very important to you, right? A gentleman doesn’t take what’s cherished by others; you should keep it,” Chen Nan once again extended the pendant towards her.

Hua Xian’er took the pendant but did not store it away. Instead, she stepped forward and hung it around Chen Nan’s neck.

Chen Nan frowned and asked, ”What are you doing?”

”You found it, so it’s yours. If you don’t want it, just throw it away,” Hua Xian’er said calmly and turned to look at the river.

Chen Nan curiously examined the pendant and then slipped it inside the front of his shirt.

Meanwhile, more people gathered by the riverbanks, and the civilians who saw the anomaly from afar were also coming toward this direction. However, the government had already responded to prevent the anomaly from harming the civilians. They set up a warning line ten miles away with troops stationed every fifty steps to prevent the civilians from crossing the line out of curiosity.

As for the highly skilled martial arts cultivators, they could pass silently right under the noses of the patrolling soldiers, and the government was too reluctant to manage them, as such capable people typically have the ability to protect themselves within the warning lines.

On both shores of the Ningjiang, more and more cultivators are gathering.

When Chen Nan arrived earlier, only those with weaker cultivation were present. As time went by, more skilled masters also came from afar.

Half an hour later, nearly a hundred people had gathered by the riverbank.

Among these people, Chen Nan saw an acquaintance, Zhao Han, because lately, due to Su Yixuan, he was often around Ningjiang City.

But this time, Zhao Han only greeted him and did not stand together.

Because of the event at Qingshan Branch, there was some estrangement between the brothers.

Apart from Zhao Han, Chen Nan also noticed two veiled women surrounded by purple light. These two women gave him a familiar feeling. However, it was only a feeling since their faces were covered, and purple mist surrounded them, making it impossible to discern their appearances and figures, thus unable to recognize who they were.

”Cluck, cluck, cluck...”

Suddenly, a loud crowing sound was heard.

A dark shadow like a black lightning bolt shot from afar; its speed was so fast that many people couldn’t see clearly.

The Black Feathered Chicken dashed over and, upon spotting Chen Nan, immediately began to peck at him.

Chen Nan, having not prepared for it and with injuries still not fully healed, found his speed impacted. In that instant, he couldn’t dodge and got pecked on the arm by the damned chicken, tearing his sleeve.

”Damn, you lousy chicken,” Chen Nan couldn’t help but curse. A dignified Taoist Master being chased around and pecked by a chicken—is that even imaginable when spoken about?

”You brat, you bullied Chicken Grandpa before, but now Chicken Grandpa finally has the strength to avenge,” the Black Feathered Chicken clucked excitedly and then flew over to say, ”This can’t be right, kid; your strength was greater last time. How come you’re getting weaker and can’t even dodge Chicken Grandpa’s random peck?”

Chen Nan stroked the Black Feathered Chicken’s feathers, acting friendly. However, when it relaxed its guard, he suddenly grabbed its neck, raised his hand, and slapped it across its chicken face, saying, ”You chicken’s mother, had it not been for my injuries, would I let a lousy chicken peck me?”

”Damn, folks say you shouldn’t slap a chicken’s face. You brutally slap Chicken Grandpa’s face!”

The Black Feathered Chicken flapped its wings furiously but with its neck gripped by Chen Nan and couldn’t break free.

Chen Nan slapped its chicken head a few more times and sneered, ”With your chicken head not even as big as my palm, do you have a face? Where’s your face growing on?”

”Hell no, hell no. Kid, this is racial discrimination. Chicken Grandpa is angry!”

The Black Feathered Chicken flapped its wings chaotically and pecked wildly, going into a total rampage, its claws scratched a few times on Chen Nan’s arm, exhibiting a berserk demeanor.

After an intense fight, the Black Feathered Chicken finally admitted defeat.

Though its power had increased greatly, it couldn’t overcome Chen Nan with its neck being held.

Upon regaining freedom, it first thought of pecking Chen Nan in revenge, but it then saw Hua Xian’er’s presence beside Chen Nan. It couldn’t help but speak cheekily, ”Kid, isn’t this the girl from Desire Palace? How come she’s hanging around with you?”

Chen Nan gripped its beak, saying, ”Lousy chicken, shut up.”

Having just managed to ease the relationship with Hua Xian’er, if this damned chicken were to talk nonsense and reveal her past, it’d surely trigger her fury.

Hua Xian’er’s eyebrows knitted tightly, her fists clenched, ”You hoodlum chicken, if you dare speak nonsense again, I’ll tear you to pieces!”

The Black Feathered Chicken raised its head proudly, ”Girl, does Chicken Grandpa fear you?”

”You’re courting death!”

Hua Xian’er just wanted to use her Magic Wand, but right at that moment—

”Whoosh... splash...”

A loud wave roar came through.

Everyone looked towards the river, only to see the originally calm surface suddenly erupting with towering waves, rolling as if a water dragon was thrashing about, and the spray surged several meters high, its power shaking the mountains and rivers.
