Chapter 707 The Reason for Being Caught
"Relax, after all, she is a girl, it always pays to be extra careful, right? Who knows if you're not a big bad wolf?" The girl patted Su Chen's shoulder to comfort him.
Su Chen's face twitched.
In the end, Su Chen helplessly accepted the condition.
Protect the Netherworld Empress for a month.
Actually, even if the Netherworld Empress didn't ask him, he would still do it.
After all, he was thinking of setting up a formidable enemy for Heavenly.
"By the way, since you're so powerful, how did Heavenly manage to capture you?" Su Chen looked at the Netherworld Empress with some confusion.
"I was betrayed, which let Heavenly know my secret. Heavenly captured me right after I finished Nirvana last time and sealed me inside an iron statue," the girl's face showed a hint of anger.
The last Nirvana was a year away from this Nirvana.
That is to say, the girl has been trapped in the iron statue for a year!
"Why didn't they just kill you?" Su Chen wondered.
The Netherworld Empress, just after Nirvana, obviously couldn't even handle ordinary people.
Even ordinary people could kill her.
"I don't know either, maybe they wanted to know the secret of my immortality," said the Netherworld Empress.
Su Chen thought so too.
If it were him, having captured the Netherworld Empress, he would definitely want to know how she achieved Rejuvenation.
"Alas, if I could choose, I'd rather not have this ability!" the Netherworld Empress sighed.
Indeed, living over a hundred years, always looking like a child, only having a few days in a year looking like an adult, and moreover being a fool.
That kind of pain, if not experienced personally, is unimaginable.
"So how exactly did you become like this?" Su Chen asked.
"What, trying to pry out my secret?" The girl squinted her big eyes at Su Chen.
"C'mon, who cares, I don't want to turn into a child," Su Chen curled his lip.
"Indeed, if they knew the cost of Rejuvenation, they probably wouldn't want it either, right?"
"Why not tell them then, maybe they'll release you."
"You think I'm a fool? If I told them, they'd definitely not release me, they'd kill me instead."
"Looks like you're not foolish!"
They chatted for a long while.
Su Chen sort of understood that the Netherworld Empress ended up this way because she practiced an ancient Cultivation Technique.
However, that technique was incomplete, only having Eighth Layer.
The very crucial Ninth Layer was severely missing.
According to the description of the Cultivation Technique, once practiced to the highest Ninth Layer, one could stay young forever.
The Netherworld Empress, unable to resist the temptation, practiced the incomplete Ninth Layer.
Then, due to Deviation, she ended up this way.
That is to say, it was the incomplete Cultivation Technique combined with Deviation that created the miracle of Rejuvenation.
It's not replicable.
Even if someone else tried, by undergoing Deviation again, it's very likely they'd die, not achieve her ability of Rejuvenation.
"Daring to imprison me for a year, once I recover, I'll definitely turn Heavenly upside down!" A hint of uncontrollable anger crossed the girl's face.
Thinking about it, anyone else in her shoes,
trapped in an iron statue for a year, would probably be angry too.
The more the Netherworld Empress hated Heavenly, the happier Su Chen became.
Let it be a big commotion.
Better to uproot Heavenly entirely.
If the girl's Combat Power reached its peak, she might actually be able to do it.
He initially wondered, who had the capability to capture the Netherworld Empress and even hammered the Dragon-locking Nails into her body.
Turns out it was taking advantage of the Netherworld Empress experiencing a decline in power after Nirvana.
But one should not underestimate Heavenly.
The more Su Chen understood about Heavenly, the more he realized it wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Just as Su Chen was pondering what to do next, he suddenly noticed the girl staring at him with a burning gaze.
The look on her face was almost like she wanted to devour him.
Holy crap!
"Hey, what do you want to do? I'm not interested in little girls!" Su Chen swallowed nervously.
After all, his values and outlook on life were still proper.
Normally, he wouldn't have any thoughts about a little girl.
"Beast!" The girl cursed fiercely upon hearing this.
Su Chen immediately got a headache, it was obviously you who were looking at me that way, okay?
"I'm just hungry and want to eat," the girl pouted.
"Ah, want to eat? You should have said so earlier, I'll have the kitchen prepare something for you," Su Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid the girl was tempting him.
What if he couldn't control himself?
"No, I want to eat..." The girl licked her lips.
Seeing this made Su Chen's skin crawl.
"Don't even think about it!" When Su Chen knew what the Netherworld Empress wanted to eat, he sternly refused.
No joke.
Just yesterday, in order to save the Netherworld Empress, she sucked who knows how much blood from him.
And she still wanted to drink.
Is blood free or what?
"Just one bite, just one bite, okay!" The girl began to act coquettishly.
"Not even a drop, let alone a bite!" Su Chen remained unmoved.
"How about this, when I grow up, I'll be your girlfriend! You can do whatever you want then!" the Netherworld Empress tempted.
Su Chen, however, rolled his eyes.
You think I'm foolish? When you grow up, aren't you the one who will do whatever she wants?
"I can satisfy you with meals, but I can't give you a drop of my blood," Su Chen suddenly realized the Netherworld Empress's real purpose in insisting he protects her.
"Stingy, fine then, I want ten roast chickens!" the Netherworld Empress pouted, feeling victorious.
"Holy crap, can you even eat that much?"
"I haven't finished yet, besides ten roast chickens, I also want three kilos of beef, and ten large bowls of rice..."
Su Chen angrily got the Netherworld Empress ten roast chickens, three kilos of beef, ten large bowls of rice.
However, right in front of Su Chen.
The Netherworld Empress ate all of it clean.
She even showed a face of wanting more.
"Are you a pig?" Su Chen's face twitched.
"Do pigs eat as much as me?" The Netherworld Empress blinked her adorable big eyes.
"No..."
Su Chen was utterly defeated.
Damn, food here is way more expensive than outside, even a manager can't stand this kind of waste.
Fortunately, Sofia's area was also under Su Chen's control now.
That is, he now had the resources of two zones to utilize.
Hmm, it's also time to go check it out.
