Chapter 1305
Chapter 1305
Zi Chen needed to familiarize himself with his current combat power as his strength broke through again and again and his realm rose again and again.
At the same time, he needed to lay a solid foundation for this realm.
He did not return immediately but decided to train in the Hengduan Mountain Range.
Now, as long as he did not encounter a king-level beast, he would not be in danger.
The death of the Gale Eagle and the fall of several powerhouses gave Zi Chen a new understanding of this world.
He had a good impression of this world, and after meeting Wang Jun and the others, he had a good impression of this world.
Later on, Man Shi and the others were also very cute. Even Wu Xie, whom he originally hated, found that he did not have a bad heart after interacting with him.
To put it bluntly, this world was not much different from the Tianwu Continent. It was just that there were more cultivators and powerhouses.
Here, he could also make friends.
Zi Chen began to train. Although it was called training, it was actually to find a beast to fight and familiarize himself with his current strength.
Three days later, Zi Chen found a battlefield. It looked like it had been left behind recently.
There was a small interlude on this battlefield. When returning, Zhou Chong, who was extremely unconvinced, was preparing to do something.
It just so happened that his family's Domain was here.
However, the people they were about to intercept were from Hunter's Castle. This time, Hunter's Castle miscalculated and was very worried about Zi Chen's group. Not only did they send many realms, but they also mobilized several Domain Realm experts.
When the two sides met, although they did not fight, one could imagine what the situation would be like.
In this world, other than a colossus like the city army, who could do anything to Hunter's Castle?
Hunter's Castle's Domain Realm experts only made a symbolic attack. The Zhou family immediately retreated, not daring to cross the line again.
Shangguan Hong and the others did not continue to wait for Zi Chen. Instead, they chose to speed back to Huping City. They needed to see Zi Chen's life card with their own eyes.
On the flying boat, Shangguan Mingxing appeared. He was the head of the Shangguan family, a true Domain Realm expert.
Seeing his attitude towards Shang Guan Hong, the others finally knew her identity and were a little surprised.
Shangguan Hong was unhappy. No matter how Shangguan Mingxing asked, she did not speak. It was as if she was acting spoiled and sulking.
Shangguan Mingxing had no choice but to ask the others.
Dong Qing's body was once again shrouded in a black robe. It seemed that he was not easy to get along with. Moreover, he was very reclusive as he stood far away.
As for Wu Xie, although he had deliberately restrained himself in front of the Shangguan Family Head, he was still very evil and made people feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he went to look for Man Shi, who looked simple and honest, and the latter did not disappoint him. He told him everything that had happened along the way.
Not only did he not hide anything, he even told her that Shangguan Yin Hong wanted Zi Chen to become a member of the Shangguan family.
"What? You've seen my ancestor?" Shangguan Mingxing's expression changed.
Man Shi nodded and said, "Yes, he has been watching us all the way, testing us."
"Where are my ancestors?" Shangguan Mingxing asked nervously.
"Dead," Man Shi said.
"What? Dead? How did he die?"
Man Shi added a few more things that he didn't say just now.
"What? There are alien races in the universe?" Shangguan Mingxing's expression changed again.
Then, he realized that he seemed to have found the wrong person. Man Shi did look simple and honest, but he also seemed to be very silly. He said whatever came to his mind without any logic at all. Often, his words did not convey his meaning.
Fortunately, after a long conversation, he finally understood everything.
Dead. What surprised him was that everyone was dead.
And all of this was because of a person called Zi Chen.
He had heard of this person before, but did not care. Today, however, he had to pay attention to Zi Chen. Of course, it was not because of his battle prowess and wisdom, but because he actually had designs on his daughter.
"This brat dares to have designs on Hong 'er." Shangguan Mingxing frowned.
When Man Shi heard this, he shook his head and explained, "Senior, it's not like that. It was your ancestor who wanted Zi Chen to enter the Shangguan family. He was the one who said it first, and …"
As he spoke, Man Shi glanced at Shangguan Hong. There were some things that he didn't say.
Shangguan Mingxing was so angry that he was amused. He thought to himself, 'You're really stupid. Do you want me to say that my daughter wants to throw herself at Zi Chen?'
When they returned, a Domain expert personally steered the flying boat, so it was very fast.
When they arrived outside Huping City, they found that there were already people waiting there. Apart from Lord Wu, almost all the higher-ups were there.
"How is it? How is Zi Chen?" Shangguan Hong asked Ling Xing anxiously as soon as they got off the boat.
Ling Xing smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. Zi Chen's life plate is still there. It proves that he's still alive."
"Really?" Shangguan Hong was pleasantly surprised.
On the other side, the other three people also looked over.
"Of course. Do you think I would lie to you?" Ling Xing smiled.
Shangguan Hong was still a little worried and immediately ran into the city. Obviously, he wanted to check it out personally.
The other three people also heaved a sigh of relief. Wu Xie sighed and said, "This guy is really lucky."
A chilling gaze shot over from the side. Dong Qing glanced at Wu Xie before also heading into the city.
"Why? I didn't say anything wrong," Wu Xie muttered.
"You didn't say anything wrong. Zi Chen is really lucky," Man Shi said as he scratched his head.
Ling Xing and the others had come mainly because of the alien race. Soon, they returned to the castle for a meeting.
The alien race was a matter of great importance, so they had to investigate it thoroughly.
On the other side, Shangguan Hong heaved a huge sigh of relief when she saw that Zi Chen's life plate was indeed very bright.
Then, she realized that she seemed to have been too worried about Zi Chen's life.
However, when she thought about it carefully, she realized that it was Zi Chen who had saved her. Shouldn't she be worried about Zi Chen?
Shangguan Hong left the Hunter's Castle absent-mindedly and walked back to her home.
As for the other three people, they stayed in the Hunter's Castle. They still needed someone to report this matter in detail.
Shang Guan Hong had just arrived at the door when a beautiful young woman came out and hugged Shang Guan Hong in her arms.
"Hong 'er, it's great that you're fine." The beautiful young woman was so happy that she cried.
"Mother, I'm fine," Shangguan Hong said softly.
Shangguan Hong chatted with her mother all the way back to the hall. She didn't stay long and returned to her room.
The attentive mother naturally noticed that her daughter was a little absent-minded.
However, she didn't ask directly and waited for Shangguan Mingxing to come back.
After the discussion, Shangguan Mingxing was stopped by the beautiful young woman as soon as he came back. She asked her daughter what happened.
"It's nothing serious. This time, it was scary but not dangerous. Moreover, the harvest is not small." Shangguan Mingxing said happily.
"Impossible. Then why is your daughter so absent-minded?" The beautiful young woman asked.
"This …" Shangguan Mingxing was stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Shangguan Mingxing thought carefully. Then, he used a reasonable way to explain the name Zi Chen and the meaning of this name.
"So it's because you have a sweetheart. No wonder you're absent-minded. Zi Chen, how is this child? What do you know about him?"
Shangguan Mingxing shook his head and said, "Zi Chen came to Huping City less than two years ago. I don't know much about him. However, he is now a senior hunter in the Hunter's Castle. Just like Hong 'er, the first time they met was in our shop. At that time …"
Obviously, Shangguan Mingxing had come prepared. He told the story of how Zi Chen and Shangguan Hong got to know each other. Except for a few details, he got almost everything right.
"In that case, Zi Chen is not bad. Even our ancestor agreed to let him come to our house," the beautiful young woman said.
Shangguan Mingxing glared at the beautiful young woman and said, "You're just a woman. You haven't even seen him, yet you're saying he's not bad. What's there to be proud of?"
Shangguan Mingxing clearly did not want to talk about this matter anymore.
After returning to her room, Shangguan Hong lay on her bed. She was unable to fall asleep for a long time. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Zi Chen.
She thought about everything that had happened between the two of them, especially Zi Chen's calmness when she first met him. A smile gradually appeared on her face.
After an unknown period of time, she actually fell asleep sweetly. The smile on her face did not fade.
In the following period of time, Shangguan Hong's expression was like the weather in summer. She was sometimes excited, sometimes nervous, sometimes smiling, and sometimes sad.
Moreover, she would go to the Hunter's Castle every day. She needed to personally see if Zi Chen's life tablet was still intact.
The beautiful young woman saw all of this. She was worried that something had happened to her daughter.
Finally, one day, she specifically went to Shangguan Hong to talk about this.
"Is Zi Chen alright?" This was the first thing the beautiful young woman said.
Shangguan Hong was stunned. However, when she saw her mother's gentle gaze, she actually did not know what to do.
"Did something happen to him?" the beautiful young woman asked again.
Shangguan Hong quickly shook her head and said nervously, "No, he's fine."
"Then what are you worried about? What are you afraid of?"
"I'm not worried or scared. It's just that … it's just that …" Shangguan Hong was a little incoherent.
"You're just very nervous, right?" the beautiful young woman asked.
Shangguan Hong nodded. She was indeed very nervous about Zi Chen.
"Since you're nervous about him, you must like him. Don't you have his message? Why don't you send him a message?"
"I like him? How is that possible?" Shangguan Hong was a little stunned.
"Silly girl, if this is not liking him, then what is?" The beautiful young woman patted Shangguan Hong's head.
Shangguan Hong lowered her head and did not speak.
"Since you're worried about him, then send him a message. Let him know that you're worried about him."
"But, where he is, the message can't be received at all." Shangguan Hong said.
"You can try. How do you know if you don't try? Besides, what if he's at a place where the message can reach?" The beautiful young woman encouraged.
Shangguan Hong nodded and then took out the message.
She had talked to Zi Chen many times. Each time, the conversation was very natural. However, this time, she felt very nervous. It was as if the message weighed thousands of kilograms.
"Are you okay?" Finally, she gathered her courage and sent the first message. She immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
