Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 626 - 605: One More Update

Upon seeing this, Ju Nanyi couldn’t help but snort coldly. He was already struggling to protect himself, yet so many people were deployed to protect Zheng Nianru. It seemed they overestimated his strength considerably and were recklessly romantically involved.

In his previous life, there were no shortage of such people who touted themselves as true lovers, recklessly willing to give up their own lives, foolishly thinking that by doing so, Zheng Nianru would spare them a second glance.

Elder Su nodded and stepped forward "enthusiastically" to introduce them one by one.

"Princess Royal, these are disciples from the Ling generation of Ghoul Ravine, the pillars of our Ghoul Ravine." Elder Su was very enthusiastic, hoping that later on, the Princess Royal would not have any doubts about them.

The more Ju Nanyi heard this title, the more he found it grating and absurd, simply a joke.

"Disciples greet the Princess Royal." The disciples of Ghoul Ravine, naturally extended the respect they had for Young Master to Zheng Nianru, showing deep reverence, truly they worshipped Young Master, so naturally, they worshiped the woman Young Master held in high esteem.

"All right, all right, the Princess Royal is aware of your loyalty. Now is not the time to talk; let’s go—" Seeing Zheng Nianru nod, Elder Su quickly spoke up, fearing that Zheng Nianru would become annoyed and hurriedly prompted someone to lead the way.

Nanny Yun was somewhat dazed watching this group of vibrant youths; were these disciples from Ghoul Ravine? No, hadn’t she heard that those from Ghoul Ravine were half-human, half-ghost creatures?

"My lady, this way—" Ling Shan was momentarily dazzled by the young lady in the pinkish-purple robe by the torchlight, stunning and fairy-like. He quickly lowered his gaze, uncertain where to look, feeling awkward about how to position his hands. Was this really the Princess Royal, their future Madam Young Master?

Zheng Nianru, however, hadn’t noticed, mainly because it was too dark at night, and even though there were plenty of torches, she wasn’t in the mood to scrutinize these people.

Trouble?

This experience was not part of her previous life, but Zheng Nianru knew about the massacre of everyone at Qiandao Temple in her past life. Now, with no Qiandao Temple, it was very likely that Ghoul Ravine could be the next target, especially since Ju Nanyi was also there.

Zheng Nianru, lifting her own skirt, didn’t need Nian Xia’s support any longer; she could walk, especially when it came to fleeing, she would definitely not be a burden.

"My lady, be careful!" Elder Su immediately obsequiously blocked the reaching branches, mainly wondering why there was still no movement on that front; hadn’t they already made contact?

By this time, Ju Nanyi had been pushed to the back, coldly disdainful of Elder Su’s shameless sycophancy.

...

The black creature cautiously extended its tentacles, struggling to hold back just a bit longer. It sensed the young man’s reluctance and became anxious. Perhaps it was only when they connected that the young man would remember their past connection; it was also eager to let the young man know it had been contained for so long, but it had mastered one thing—controlling its diet.

The creature could assure that now, if it made a move, it definitely wouldn’t immediately faint the young man, just connecting was enough to prove it.

The youth didn’t want to make contact; wasn’t that the fear?

The black creature grew impatient.

It was no good; it could sense that someone was nearby. The events of the past had traumatized it; it didn’t want to be confined again. So, the creature stealthily extended its tentacles, seizing the moment the youth was speaking with an elder, moving with lightning speed toward the youth’s back.

The youth immediately noticed, and the next moment, he stopped, turned around, and looked coldly at the black creature.

The creature was stunned, the contact moment flooding the youth with feelings of astonishment, grievance, and confusion, a connection others couldn’t feel.

The youth remained cold, having already stated, no contact.

"Wuu wuu—" The black creature swayed in the night, bellowing loudly, like a woman being abandoned, why, why?

Elder Can stared blankly at the scene, the night dark as ink. He saw very clearly the black monster’s tentacles connecting with the Young Master, the Young Master...

This strange connection was something he had never seen but had heard of.

The Young Master...

However, something was not right, very not right, as the monster became increasingly unstable. If he understood correctly, if this thing had come for the Young Master, it shouldn’t be like this now.

Yin He just watched coldly. The previous anxiety and hesitation now seemed like giving up completely; after all this, what could he do?

Moreover, he was not too averse to that matter.

The young man thought of the woman’s face, and his eyes looking at the monster grew colder. What had happened could not be undone, so what could he do?

"Wuu wuu wuu—" The black monster suddenly erupted, instantly swirling towards the young man, wanting to drag the young man along in a catastrophic manner.

The young man frowned, seeking death...

Elder Can’s legs went weak, what happened? Even if it failed, he didn’t think it would reach this point, why were they suddenly fighting...

"Wasn’t it agreed? Wasn’t it agreed?" the black monster’s voice got louder with each word, audible only to the young man.

The young man remained still, standing at the center, silent and not responding to the monster.

"You are a traitor—" the monster roared, actions becoming more frenzied, no connection forming, what more was there to speak of, nothing, this traitor is just a traitor.

The young man’s body gained an aura of black smoke, hidden in the darkness, not obvious, but the monster felt it immediately and seemed to get proof of the young man’s betrayal, becoming even more reckless.

"Young, Young Master—" Elder Can was dumbfounded. This was not the time, why had they started fighting now, they should have waited until they reached the destination.

"Young Master, run—" Seeing that it wasn’t going well, Elder Can desperately tried to muscle his way in, but he couldn’t break through the monster’s barrier.

The young man frowned, not wanting to entangle with the other.

"Let go, and I’ll grant you freedom, you can find another." The young man spoke coldly.

"Freedom? You liar, you once said..." the monster roared loudly, almost deafening the young man.

"Silence, it has come to this already, we naturally cannot fulfill that promise, what else can we do, it’s no longer needed anyway..." The young man spoke impatiently, what could he do? He had thought that by saving Zheng Muyuan, he should have been able to rescue him. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

But such is fate...

"Have you found someone else?" the monster suddenly realized this possibility, yes, it must be, otherwise why would he do this?

The black monster paused, the Array Techniques it had not been able to penetrate for a long time still impenetrable, but it kept asking; wasn’t his only desire for all these years to break the seal and find him?

But now that hope was shattered.

"Young Master, run—" With quick reflexes, Elder Can grabbed Yin He, taking advantage of the black monster’s momentary distraction, quickly dragging Yin He into the darkness.
