Dashing Student-Chapter 1359: Forcing the Marriage Proposal
Above the azure sea, a figure sits quietly on a flying boat, cultivating.
Suddenly, a giant golden eagle, with wings spanning ten zhang, fixes its sharp gaze on the cultivator aboard the flying boat.
To demon beasts, cultivators are the finest blood food.
The golden eagle screeches, shaking its wings as it descends with howling winds, halting abruptly halfway down.
A sharp dagger pierces through its head as if slicing through tofu, causing the massive body to plummet straight down.
The cultivator on the flying boat opens his eyes, picks up the Blood Gourd at his waist, and absorbs the demon beast’s corpse into it.
This person is none other than Chen Nan, who snuck away from Immortal Dome Island.
Knowing Master Canglan was prepared to disregard the rules, he realized he had to leave, or he’d perish at Master Canglan’s hands if he stayed.
Thus, he seemingly rented a cave dwelling but actually used "Erosion Sun" to create an avatar, while his true self merged into the shadows to escape the dwelling.
Since Master Canglan was constantly monitoring the aura within the cave dwelling, he didn’t notice and Chen Nan managed to escape Immortal Dome Island.
Upon leaving, he used the Instant Teleportation Talisman, lest Master Canglan discover it was an avatar and pursue him.
"Luckily, I acted decisively, otherwise I’d have died at Master Canglan’s hands," Chen Nan thought to himself, relieved.
After leaving, news from Immortal Dome Island spread that Master Canglan had suddenly attacked in fury, smashing a cave dwelling and reportedly killing all the cultivators inside.
Hearing this news, Chen Nan admired his decision even more, grateful that when he headed to the Demon Sect, he had allowed Deng Yunhe and the others to leave the Righteous Alliance and found Ning Yu was under Liu Hanyue’s protection.
Otherwise, they would have been killed by Master Canglan before he returned.
Currently, he’s on his way to Luoyue Island, intending to take Zhong Ling and others from the island to prevent Master Canglan from venting his anger on them, making Zhong Ling easily traceable.
Nearing Luoyue Island, Chen Nan spreads his Divine Sense, covering the whole island.
Since cultivating the All Heaven Star Fighting Great Method, his Divine Soul has grown even stronger.
But upon discovering Zhong Ling and the others, Chen Nan’s face darkens, because they are facing unwelcome visitors.
"Zhong Ling, you know my feelings, as long as you become my dao companion, I promise to treat you well!"
A young man stands before Zhong Ling, flanked by several Golden Core Realm experts, all stronger than Golden Core Realm Fifth Level, formidable.
Gao Xue, Li Songnian, and others stand furiously behind Zhong Ling, each eager to kill the young man before them.
"But you already have a dao companion!" Zhong Ling shouts angrily.
The young man shrugs nonchalantly: "So what? You could be my concubine, I’ll treat you well too."
"Who wants to be your concubine? Get lost!"
Even Zhong Ling’s timid temperament flares with anger.
An old man beside the young man steps forward, sneering at Zhong Ling’s group: "Island Master Zhong, think carefully. If you disagree, we become enemies."
"Then, you will have to agree, otherwise your loved ones will suffer too."
The tone is unmistakably threatening.
The young master laughs smugly: "Zhong Ling, just agree. I truly fancy you."
His lewd demeanor repulses Zhong Ling, desperately seeking a better solution. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Behind her, Gao Xue shouts in rage: "If you’re so capable, come on!"
"Fine, you said it!"
The young master’s Golden Core Realm middle-stage subordinates step forward, releasing a sudden pressure that drastically changes Gao Xue and others’ expressions.
Their cultivation is merely at the Third Layer of Golden Core Realm; they’d surely lose if fighting.
As tension mounts, a voice suddenly echoes from the sky, clear in everyone’s ears.
"Who dares suggest my disciple be a concubine?!"
Immediately, an overwhelming, dignified aura descends, as if a higher being appears, bringing immense pressure, forcing the young master and his guards to kneel.
This is Dragon Might!
Tears of joy flow from Zhong Ling as she waves to the sky: "Master!"
The young master is bewildered, having never heard of Zhong Ling having a master, could it be a powerful figure?
"Young master, don’t worry. It’s merely a Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer cultivator, weaker than us," the old man says, gritting his teeth.
Yet he can’t explain the grand aura from Chen Nan that causes their hearts to tremble as though encountering a natural enemy.
Chen Nan disregards the young master’s group, descending directly in front of Zhong Ling, smiling broadly.
"Master!"
Zhong Ling, like a child, buries her grievance in Chen Nan’s embrace, crying, while Gao Xue and others now wear looks of delight.
Their backing has returned.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
From behind Zhong Ling comes a shriek; Chen Nan gazes over to see Shi Zhongsheng excitedly running over.
When he previously left, he entrusted Shi Zhongsheng to Zhong Ling’s side, now seeing he’s faring well, having gained weight.
As they rejoice in their reunion, the old man beside the young master slowly stands despite the tremendous Dragon Might.
He grits his teeth and says: "Sir, we are Golden Light Island cultivators, and this is the son of our Golden Light Island’s island master."
"Our young master likes Miss Zhong Ling and proposes marriage. What is the meaning of your actions?"
Chen Nan turns to them, lips curling in scorn: "Propose marriage? What are you to dare marry my disciple? Are you worthy?"
The old man’s face instantly fills with anger: "Sir, you’re too arrogant. Our island master’s fame spreads far, with a cultivation of Seventh Level of Golden Core Realm as a great cultivator."
Chen Nan laughs aloud: "Boasting that cultivation to threaten others? It’s... too weak!"
He’s been on the frontline for long, encountering either Golden Core Realm Great Perfection or Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, yet a Seventh Layer Golden Core Realm cultivator dares threaten him.
Back at the Demon Sect, he lost count of how many such demon cultivators he killed.
"First, you insulted our young master, now insult our island master. Whoever you are, you’re doomed!"
The old man, initially worried about Chen Nan’s formidable aura, doesn’t want to bow before him now.
Chen Nan sneers, unleashing a colossal killing intent.
"I’ve just returned, might as well practice on you!"
