Chapter 1171
The princess walked straight into the chariot, not treating herself as an outsider at all. Outside the chariot, Zi Chen couldn't help but frown.
The surrounding Earth Origin Realm cultivators were also startled by the princess's sudden change. Immediately, a trace of worry appeared on their faces.
Entering Zi Chen's chariot, the princess wasn't a match for Zi Chen. If something bad happened, they wouldn't be able to answer to the royal family.
In the air, the Emptiness Realm Origin Realm cultivator looked at Zi Chen and said, "An old friend of mine gave me the sword stele before he returned to the Demon Race. He said you would definitely come back to get it."
Looking up at the Emptiness Realm Origin Realm cultivator, Zi Chen said, "I knew you were extraordinary, but I didn't expect you to be an Emptiness Realm cultivator."
Zi Chen had seen this man many times. He had always followed the princess. Zi Chen guessed that he was an Earth Origin Realm cultivator, but he didn't expect him to be an Emptiness Realm cultivator.
"Emptiness Realm."
Hearing this, the middle-aged demon suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Zi Chen, the Demon Race is stronger than you think."
Zi Chen looked at him in confusion.
The middle-aged demon smiled and pointed at Zi Chen. As the finger landed, Zi Chen suddenly felt a mysterious force on his body. He couldn't move at all.
At the same time, the dazzling lightning tribulation above his head actually disappeared.
At this moment, Zi Chen couldn't move at all. He was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
His expression changed as he looked at the middle-aged demon in shock.
The middle-aged demon smiled and said, "Don't worry. I didn't attack you before, so I won't attack you now."
Zi Chen regained his freedom of movement. He glanced at the middle-aged demon and walked into the chariot. Then, his indifferent voice sounded, "Let's go."
The old bull glanced at the middle-aged demon with fear. Then, he flew into the air and pulled the chariot back to the human territory.
"Sir, why didn't you take this chance to kill Zi Chen?" After Zi Chen left, an Earth Origin Realm cultivator asked respectfully.
The middle-aged demon glanced at him and said indifferently, "If Zi Chen was so easy to kill, he wouldn't be alive now."
"Then what do we do now? The Princess is in the carriage. If Zi Chen attacks the Princess halfway …"
"Don't worry, he doesn't have the guts."
The middle-aged devil stared at the direction where the chariot had disappeared and murmured, "In just a short thousand years, he actually grew to such a level. Such potential is simply terrifying. In the future, he will definitely be a great enemy of our devil race. However, I don't understand why they didn't kill him."
…
Within the carriage, the princess who had wanted to kill Zi Chen a moment ago was now sitting side by side with Zi Chen as if they were friends.
That was where Su Mengyao used to be, very close to Zi Chen. In the not-so-spacious carriage, the unique fragrance of the princess wafted in the air.
Zi Chen was making tea. His movements were natural and casual. It was impossible to tell that a battle had just taken place. Moreover, his state of mind was calm. He was not affected by the strange fragrance in the carriage.
The princess looked at Zi Chen who was concentrating on making tea and said, "It seems that you've had a good life in the past thousand years."
Zi Chen did not immediately respond. When the tea was ready, he poured two cups and handed one to the princess. Only then did he say, "The true Way of Tea is in the mortal world. This is my greatest gain in the past thousand years."
Within the carriage, the fragrance of tea filled the air. Zi Chen was deeply intoxicated by it. He was like a tea addict. Even the princess, who did not understand the Way of Tea, felt her heart calm down after smelling the tea.
With her eyesight, she could naturally see that this was just a cup of tea without any effect. However, it was able to calm her heart. Her eyes immediately flashed with a strange light.
Zi Chen continued, "In our eyes, this is just an ordinary tea. However, in the eyes of mortals, this is the world's top tea. I found this in a small country. This tea can only be harvested once every five years. Furthermore, only the most tender part is needed. After being fried, it can be said to be of the highest quality …"
Hearing Zi Chen talk about the Way of Tea, the princess frowned slightly. This tea made her feel comfortable, but she did not want to listen to this.
The princess went straight to the point and asked, "You've been in the mortal world for a thousand years to find the law. Since you've reappeared, you must have gained a lot. What kind of law did you comprehend?"
Zi Chen shook his head and said, "The Way of Tea is broad and profound. If you delve deeper, you will find that it is as vast as the ocean. It is not inferior to cultivation at all. In fact, you can also taste the law by tasting tea."
"You can also taste the law by tasting tea."
The princess was already dissatisfied with Zi Chen's irrelevant answer. Hearing this, she mocked, "According to what you said, all tea masters will be in the Earth Prime in the future."
In the face of the princess' mockery, Zi Chen said seriously, "If they truly comprehend the law of the Way of Tea, once they cultivate, it will be very normal for them to enter the Earth Prime."
"Deliberately mystifying. Don't tell me you've been comprehending the Way of Tea for a thousand years. Although I don't understand, I can feel that the power you used before has nothing to do with the law of the Way of Tea." The princess asked curiously, "Tell me, what kind of law did you comprehend?"
Zi Chen shook his head again and said, "There are no laws."
Zi Chen was telling the truth, but the princess did not believe him at all. Zi Chen picked up the teapot and poured tea into the cup. At the same time, he said, "This tea is produced in a very special place. The water used for irrigation is from a five-thousand-meter-tall mountain peak. It is produced from the dewdrops between the branches and leaves of the ancient trees in the clouds …"
Looking at the calm and natural Zi Chen, the princess could clearly feel the change in him. At this moment, Zi Chen's heart was very calm and his realm was very high. She was unhappy and did not want him to be calm, so she asked, "Zi Chen, do you like me?"
"Pfft."
Zi Chen immediately spat out the tea he had just drunk. His calm heart was immediately disturbed, and the tea sprayed everywhere.
"What? What did you say?" Zi Chen ignored his embarrassment and turned to look at the princess.
"I said, do you like me? How about we get married?" The princess looked at Zi Chen expectantly, but there was a hint of ridicule in her eyes.
Zi Chen had almost no flaws, but that didn't mean that he didn't have weaknesses. Zi Chen had quite a few weaknesses, but there were only two that were truly fatal: his women and his friends.
This was publicly known, but also confidential. At this moment, the princess had only asked Zi Chen one question, and Zi Chen had such an intense reaction. It was clear that this was the truth.
"After I get married to you, it will be equivalent to the Demon Race and the Wuji Sect joining forces. This is a strong alliance. When the time comes, we will help you deal with whoever you want to deal with," the princess said again.
Zi Chen calmed himself down and said seriously, "Humans and demons are irreconcilable enemies. Naturally, it's impossible for me to be with you. Although you're a woman, I've killed many women along the way. I don't mind killing you when the time is right. Of course, I also know that you've always wanted to kill me, or rather, you wish for me to die."
Zi Chen stared into the princess' eyes. "Your heart is very big and very poisonous. It can be said that you are the most poisonous woman I have ever seen in the world. In the Holy Burial Ground, you schemed against us with benefits and almost killed everyone."
Bringing up the past again, the princess looked innocent and wronged. "Why do you suspect me? I am also a victim."
"Whether you are a victim or not, you know best in your heart. You also know that there is no possibility of reconciliation between us. As for marriage, it is even more impossible."
"Even if we don't get married, we can still be friends. We are not enemies with humans. We are already friends. I can be friends with them, so why can't I be friends with you?" The princess looked at Zi Chen with a bitter and pitiful expression.
"You don't have to act in front of me. They are them, and I am me. I can not attack other Demons, but it does not mean that I will tolerate your existence. If you really want to be friends, then take the Demon Race back to the Demon World. When the time comes, if you want to be friends, I will personally go to the Demon World to be friends with you," Zi Chen said with a cold smile.
The princess was angered by Zi Chen's harsh words. She snorted and said, "Who do you think you are? I'm a princess with countless friends. If you want to be friends with me, why don't you see if you're qualified?"
When Zi Chen heard this, he shook his head and laughed, "Friends? Do you know what it means to be a friend? If I kill you now, not counting your family, how many of your friends do you think will stand out to take revenge for you?"
The princess frowned, but she was speechless.
Zi Chen continued, "I don't dare to say anything else, but if I really die here, at least a few dozen people will seek justice for me regardless of their lives."
Women and friends, or brothers, were Zi Chen's weaknesses, but it was also Zi Chen's advantage.
The conversation between the two along the way was destined to be unpleasant, because the two of them were very scheming people. They belonged to two different forces, and every word they spoke was filled with calculation and intrigue.
Every time the princess was unhappy, she would snort coldly. "Hmph, don't be so smug. Your Wuji Sect has been in the limelight too much this time. Many forces are afraid of you. Plus, a thousand years have passed, and Longhu's breakthrough has become a fuse. Maybe you will be attacked by many forces like a thousand years ago."
"We've been in the limelight too much."
Zi Chen sneered. "That's just what some short-sighted people think. Right now, I'm looking at another world. That's our true goal. As for the Martial Heaven Continent, the conflicts here are nothing."
Zi Chen's reply startled the princess. She asked, "So you're saying that you'll leave after your breakthrough? Then what about the Wuji Sect? Aren't you afraid of the Wuji Sect being destroyed?"
Zi Chen said, "I've already left the Wuji Sect for a thousand years. The battle has been going on for a thousand years. Doesn't the Wuji Sect still exist?"
"That's because of your disciples and your beast army. But once you leave, those powerful existences of the Wuji Sect will follow you. The Wuji Sect will definitely be finished."
"Even if I leave, I still have disciples. If my disciples leave, they will also have disciples. The Wuji Sect is not a family, but a sect. One disciple after another will appear. We aren't the only ones in this world. There are many people. Back then, there was Zi Chen, Zhang Haotian, the devil ape … Now, there's Sun Ling 'er, Chen Feng, and the lightning spirit. Then in a thousand years, there will naturally be other experts who can turn the tide …"
Each time the two sides conversed, the princess was infuriated.
