Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1638: Chapter 1676: Red Sleeves Strikes Again

”No!” Green Pearl, with tears in her eyes, painfully closed her eyes, not daring to look at Jiang Fan’s miserable state.

The pressure of the Heavenly Human Five Declines, how could Jiang Fan possibly withstand it?

It would instantly crush him into a blood mist.

However, the expected sound of explosion did not come.

Instead, her body suddenly lost balance, and the world spun around her.

When she looked closely, she found that the arm of the Black Sun King that was holding her had been severed by some unparalleled sharp weapon.

An exceptionally beautiful woman in a black long dress appeared out of nowhere, elegantly pulled her out of the Black Sun King’s grasp.

Then instantaneously moved back to Jiang Fan’s side.

Looking at this girl who looked exactly like her, Green Pearl was shocked and said, ”Red Sleeves? Why is it you?”

Red Sleeves put her down, glanced at her indifferently, and said, ”Only brings trouble to me!”

If Green Pearl died, she might die too.

So, she had long been hiding in the shadows waiting for a chance to intervene.

Green Pearl was not grateful and said, ”Who asked you to save me? If you think I’m causing you trouble, then don’t save me! Ridiculous!”

She still didn’t know that all her feelings would synchronize to Red Sleeves, had always thought Red Sleeves was just deliberately making things difficult for her.

Having been rescued, she didn’t care about her injuries, instead hurriedly checked Jiang Fan:

”Are you alright?”

Jiang Fan was unharmed, he smiled and said, ”Fortunately, your sister arrived just in time, I’m fine.”

After a pause, he teased, ”Did you just say you’d be my wife in the next life and serve me forever?”

Red Sleeves’ white face suddenly turned red, her gaze hurriedly shifted away from Jiang Fan.

Instinctively wanting to deny, but recalling Jiang Fan’s words about giving up hope for escape to stay and accompany her, along with his lonely standing figure.

She bowed her head and shyly nodded her snow-white chin: ”Yes, I meant it.”

”In the next life, I’ll be your wife.”

”Hehe~”

Red Sleeves shook her head and snorted mockingly.

Green Pearl suddenly felt ashamed and angry: ”The agreement between Jiang Fan and me, what’s it to you?”

”You don’t understand what we’ve been through!”

Red Sleeves glanced at her, shaking her head repeatedly: ”You really are so easy to deceive.”

”In the Heavenly Realm, you were deceived by Jiang Fan to be his wife, and now even in the next life you are deceived to be his wife.”

”How do I have such a foolish sister like you?”

She rubbed her temples and sighed softly.

Green Pearl was stunned, suspiciously asked: ”He deceived me?”

”How did he deceive me?”

Red Sleeves glanced at Jiang Fan and said: ”Do you think he’s the kind of person to wait for death, letting others slaughter him?”

Uh—

Green Pearl was full of confusion, in her impression Jiang Fan was really not that kind of person.

Even if it meant dying, he would find a way to bite off a piece of the enemy.

Who would give up all hope of survival and stand there waiting for death?

Red Sleeves solved her confusion: ”He had long suspected that I was nearby, waiting for a chance to act.”

”So he put on a facade of giving up to die for you, with a grim and hopeless expression to lull the Black Sun King into letting down his guard.”

”So I could make the move and rescue you.”

Ah?

Green Pearl was dumbfounded, her gaze shifted to Jiang Fan and found that his eyes avoided hers.

This indirectly confirmed Red Sleeves’ words.

His words and actions were all to deceive the Black Sun King!

She suddenly felt her blood rush to her head, grabbing Jiang Fan’s collar in anger:

”When you said I was your wife in the Heavenly Realm, and if you didn’t save me then who would, was that meant for the Black Sun King’s ears?”

Jiang Fan opened his mouth, not knowing where to start explaining.

At that time, the situation was urgent, and who had the mind to deceive Green Pearl?

It was all to make the Black Sun King believe his words and actions.

Seeing Jiang Fan silent, Green Pearl’s heart hurt.

She pursed her lips, unwillingly asked: ”Then those heartfelt words you said, claiming I was alone and pitiable, wanting to accompany me to the Yellow Springs, was that also to deceive the Black Sun King?”

Jiang Fan sighed softly: ”I did not intend to deceive you, just wanted the Black Sun King to relax his vigilance.”

Green Pearl’s hand gripping the collar trembled slightly, her vision blurred again by tears.

Jiang Fan’s words, the Black Sun King took them seriously.

But she took them seriously too.

She truly believed there was someone willing to die for her.

She was moved, innocently promised to be Jiang Fan’s wife in the next life, repaying him for a lifetime!

In the end, it was yet another big deception.

Moreover, this time she was deceived along with her sister!

She repeatedly clutched Jiang Fan’s collar, then silently loosened it, raising her tear-stained face, gazing at the man so close:

”Why do you give me hope time and again, make me believe there is someone worth treasuring in the world, yet repeatedly make me despair?”

”Did I do something wrong? Why treat me this way?”

Jiang Fan was startled, not expecting Green Pearl to have such an intense reaction.

He didn’t intentionally deceive Green Pearl either time.

But, thinking of how Green Pearl had been targeted by Red Sleeves since childhood, suffered so greatly, and was later expelled from the village, forced to wander to the Black Sun Royal Court, under the control of the Black Sun King.

Her life had been full of gloom and misfortune.

Jiang Fan appeared like a ray of sunlight, making her feel warmth.

Yet every time she gathered courage to catch it, it would all turn to illusion and scattered away.

Time after time, finally leading her to despair.

Jiang Fan held her shoulder, softly said: ”I’m sorry for disappointing you.”

”But I am not...”

Green Pearl’s shoulder shook, shaking off Jiang Fan’s hand.

The last hint of hope in her eyes faded away, completely dim.

She took several steps back, lowered her head to wipe away her tears, her voice foreign: ”No need to apologize, you took this last resort to save me.”

”I should be the one thanking you instead.”

”I owe you two lives, one from the Heavenly Realm, one from today.”

”Now, I’ve paid them back to you.”

”We owe each other nothing...”

With that, she turned and charged toward a distant battle between the Heavenly Person Four Declines and the Four-star Giant King.

Jiang Fan’s expression changed.

Green Pearl, the Three Crowned Asura King, how could she join the battle of the Heavenly Person Four Declines?

This was suicide!

Red Sleeves rubbed her brow:

”You really don’t understand women at all, she wasn’t waiting for you to explain.”

”She was waiting for you to give her hope, even false hope, she would deceive herself into believing it.”

”Yet you let her lose the last bit of hope.”

After a pause, Red Sleeves showed a hint of guilt in her eyes:

”Although, you aren’t to blame.”

”Because she lacks love in her heart, she would be particularly concerned about anyone who treats her well.”

”And that’s my fault.”

Watching Green Pearl, lifeless, intent on dying, she leapt and attempted to rush over.

But, a terrifying force of Origin swept over.

Red Sleeves’ expression turned grim, decisively took out a bone fan, waved it to emit a large area of holy light to dissolve the Origin Power.

She was shaken back several steps, looking up to see Blood Moon King and Black Sun King standing together.

Blood Moon King, enraged, said: ”A mere Asura Clan, daring to ruin our plans?”

”Black Sun King, you handle this Asura, I’ll personally kill Jiang Fan!”

He couldn’t stand it anymore.

A mere Heavenly Person Decline novice Venerate, and two Five-star Giant Kings hadn’t killed him after all this time!

This was simply a disgrace!

Black Sun King was also full of shame, with killing intent rampant:

”No! Killing Jiang Fan is too easy for him!”

”I want him to live a fate worse than death!”

A star on his forehead shifted slightly, releasing a wisp of Green Pearl’s soul.

He grabbed it in his palm, face contorted with hostility: ”You damned couple!”

”I’ll kill Green Pearl first, make you regret, finally kill you!”

This time, he didn’t hesitate, decisively clenched it tightly.

Jiang Fan coldly laughed: ”Try killing her, Princess Zi Jiang won’t live either!”
