Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1647: Chapter 1646: Is This... a Confession?

”Are you done?”

Su Han didn’t know what Ren Qinghuan was thinking; he only knew that if Ren Qinghuan didn’t speak, he would have to keep walking, and at this moment... he was already standing in front of the door.

If he took another step, he would be walking out of the boudoir.

His words jolted Ren Qinghuan awake.

Seeing Su Han standing at the door, Ren Qinghuan couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly and said, ”Why are you standing so far away?”

”I...”

Su Han almost spat out blood in frustration.

”Didn’t you tell me to leave!” Su Han muttered.

”I didn’t tell you to go that far!” Ren Qinghuan snapped back.

The corners of Su Han’s mouth couldn’t help but lift into a smile.

If it were before, Ren Qinghuan wouldn’t have said these things to him.

Even Ren Qinghuan seemed to realize the atmosphere in the room at the moment; her face returned to its cool expression, and she lightly coughed, speaking calmly.

”You are a mage?”

”Yes.”

Su Han nodded, ”Fifth Order, Great Archmage.”

”Then why didn’t you tell me before?” Ren Qinghuan turned to look at Su Han again, seemingly with an angry expression.

”You never asked me!” Su Han shrugged his shoulders.

”I’m your Pavilion Master; even if I don’t ask, you should have told me in advance!” Ren Qinghuan stated firmly.

”Okay, okay, it’s my fault, my fault.” Su Han admitted defeat.

”Are you really an Alchemical Holy Master?” Ren Qinghuan asked again.

”Absolutely real.”

As Su Han answered, he revealed the Alchemical Holy Master badge he had been hiding all along.

”Then why didn’t you tell me?”

Su Han: ”...”

Did this woman bring him here just to have him heal her and then confidently hold him accountable?

Shouldn’t she be thanking him?

Su Han was speechless, and Ren Qinghuan also fell silent, making the atmosphere in the room awkwardly quiet.

”Ahem...”

Su Han cleared his throat to break the silence, ”If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

”Wait!”

Ren Qinghuan suddenly spoke, reaching out and grabbing Su Han by his collar, pulling him in front of her.

Su Han wore a pained expression, ”What are you doing? You told me to stay away from you, and now you’re pulling me in front of you.”

”In the recent battle with the Sect of the Supreme Shadow, your contributions were the greatest.”

Ren Qinghuan looked directly at Su Han, speaking calmly, ”Tell me, what reward do you want?”

”What I want, you might not be able to give.” Su Han shook his head.

”As long as I can give it, I will.” Ren Qinghuan said in a deep voice.

”Really?”

Su Han stared into Ren Qinghuan’s eyes, a peculiar smile tugging at his mouth.

He could clearly see a hint of panic in Ren Qinghuan’s eyes as he stared at her.

But she still nodded, ”Really.”

”Then I want you...”

Pausing slightly, Su Han continued to say, ”to protect me from now on.”

Ren Qinghuan was taken aback, then tossed Su Han aside.

”Next time, speak more directly!”

”Hahahahaha...”

Su Han burst into laughter internally, but on the surface, he tried his best to hold back, his shoulders shaking with repressed mirth.

”Hurry up and leave!”

Ren Qinghuan’s face turned even redder as she glanced at Su Han. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Su Han’s figure flashed, appearing at the boudoir door.

”I agree.”

At this moment, Ren Qinghuan suddenly spoke.

”Agree to what?” Su Han looked back.

Ren Qinghuan pursed her lips, and after a long while, she said softly, ”Whatever you say, I’ll agree to it.”

Hearing this, Su Han froze on the spot.

Was this... a confession?

Master of Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, confessing to an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple?

A Divine Sea Realm powerhouse, confessing to someone in the Spirit Transformation Realm?

In that moment, Ren Qinghuan could no longer maintain her composure, appearing unchanged, but Su Han couldn’t keep his cool.

He opened the room door and rushed out, not even bothering to close it behind him.

He was truly afraid that if he lost his senses, he might do something to Ren Qinghuan.

In Ren Qinghuan, there was always a shadow of Liuu Qingyao.

Su Han had never thought he had any feelings for Ren Qinghuan; if he did, it was only when he saw her as Liuu Qingyao.

And that, to Ren Qinghuan, was not fair.

So, it was best to maintain a distance between the two of them.

Meanwhile, in the boudoir, watching Su Han dash out like a wild thing, Ren Qinghuan couldn’t help but frown slightly.

”Why are you running so fast? Do you think I’ll eat you?”

...

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

The numerous corpses had all been dealt with.

The Heavenly Mountain Pavilion disciples’ bodies were collectively buried, while all other bodies were burned.

An approximate calculation revealed that in this battle, Heavenly Mountain Pavilion had five million disciples, plus six million under Tong Lihui, amounting to eleven million in total.

The losses... were four million!

Meanwhile, the combined losses of the Sect of the Supreme Shadow and the Ming Surname Faction were one million more than those of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, totaling five million.

The bodies from both sides added up to nine million, nearly ten million!

Su Han alone, with the power of a Forbidden Curse, annihilated nearly three million people brought by Lyu Qingyu.

Among these, a small portion belonged to the Lyu Family, and the majority were hired mercenaries.

As for the other two million, a large part were hired mercenaries as well.

This meant that the Sect of the Supreme Shadow suffered far less loss than the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion.

At this moment, the number of disciples in Heavenly Mountain Pavilion had dropped to seven million.

Meanwhile, the Sect of the Supreme Shadow, together with the Ming Surname Faction brought by Ming Xushen, boasted over fourteen million on the surface alone.

That’s twice the number of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion!

In terms of the difference among strong practitioners, the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion was also somewhat weaker.

Both had two Divine Sea Realm powerhouses, but in the Void Heaven Realm, the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion lost three this time, leaving only twelve.

On the other hand, the Sect of the Supreme Shadow still had at least sixteen or more!

This result left everyone in Heavenly Mountain Pavilion silent.

They harbored hatred in their hearts, but at this moment, Heavenly Mountain Pavilion’s overall strength wasn’t enough to support the kind of vendetta needed to take revenge on the Sect of the Supreme Shadow.

So... they could only hold back for now!

The three days also temporarily suppressed that hatred in their hearts.

...

During these three days, Su Han didn’t cultivate; he helped Heavenly Mountain Pavilion handle some post-battle matters.

Among the Three Great Legions, approximately thirty thousand were lost, creating a huge gap.

Fortunately, none of those Su Han was familiar with died; the most severe cases only suffered injuries.

”Strength...”

Su Han sighed inwardly.

This was the first time since arriving in the Lower-Class Star Region that he participated in a true sect battle.

And the result... was less than ideal!
