Chapter 587: Chapter 169: Who’s Crazier? Receiving a Body Tempering Holy Medicine

The Ghost Bone Elder was locked in place, with no chance of escape.

"No—!"

A scream filled with despair and indignation.

The giant scythe within the black smoke swung upward!

RUMBLE!

The very sky changed color as the clouds churned violently!

Amidst the rampant Sword Qi, the colossal sword instantly shattered the Scythe of Death. It then crashed down, cleaving a massive canyon into the earth!

The black smoke that concealed the Ghost Bone Elder was also completely annihilated, reduced to drifting ash!

As the last wisp of Demonic Qi vanished, clarity returned to the world.

"Turned to dust!"

Wang Yiyi flicked her fair wrist, catching the returning spear in a reverse grip.

With a low HUM, the glow from the spear’s shaft subsided.

She gazed at the dust scattering on the wind, her brow furrowed with a confusion that lingered even in victory.

’Even though it was just a clone, we still destroyed an object that housed the Ghost Bone Elder’s Divine Sense.’

’That alone is enough to severely damage that old fiend’s Primordial Energy and put him in a world of hurt.’

She gave her spear a casual flourish, then rested its tip on the ground. Her gaze shifted to Chu Fan, who was busy dusting off his clothes, and her eyes filled with bewilderment.

"But I still don’t get it. This kid... he only worked with Baili Bing of Medicine King Valley to destroy one of the Ghost Bone Elder’s Demon Puppets. Why would that make the old man come charging out of Qing Province City like a rabid dog, hell-bent on revenge no matter the cost?"

It was like a great dragon being bitten by an ant.

And then traveling a thousand leagues just to annihilate the entire anthill. It was both demeaning and illogical.

Chu Fan heard her but remained expressionless, merely flicking a bit of dust from his sleeve. ’I don’t get it either,’ he thought, ’but I can’t let them know that.’ He could only maintain an air of profound inscrutability.

Seeing that he wasn’t going to answer, Wang Yiyi turned her head to look at Princess Zhaohua nearby.

Princess Zhaohua sheathed her sword, as impassive as an ice sculpture. She too was expressionless.

A corner of Wang Yiyi’s mouth twitched. Her eyes darted over to Li Qingcang.

However, the man hailed as the prodigy of the Sword Dao among Qing Province’s younger generation had already turned to leave, leaving behind nothing but a proud, otherworldly silhouette.

"Aargh!"

Wang Yiyi finally snapped. She grabbed at her elegant hair in frustration, completely losing the dignified air of a Noble Family’s daughter. "Is there not one normal person among you?! Hanging around with a bunch of mutes like you, I’m going to sprout a Heart Demon sooner or later!"

Immediately, her nimble eyes swiveled, and her gaze fell upon Chu Fan once more. "Hey, you, little Demon Suppression Guard..."

Chu Fan raised his eyes. "I’m not little. Not in the slightest."

Wang Yiyi sized him up from head to toe, then suddenly dropped a bombshell. "Your Realm might be low, but your methods are quite remarkable. You’re... somewhat interesting."

"So? How about it? Ever consider marrying into my Wang Family?"

"..." Chu Fan stumbled, his knees going so weak he almost knelt on the spot.

’I’d thought that among all these prodigies, Wang Yiyi, with her forthright personality, was the only normal one.’

’Turns out, she’s the craziest of them all!’

’Asking a guy to marry into her family the first time they meet...’

’How ridiculous!’

"Miss Wang, you must be joking..."

Chu Fan’s mouth twitched as he prepared to politely decline.

"What are you staring at me for?!"

Wang Yiyi burst out laughing. "Don’t get your hopes up! I’m not talking about myself, but one of my cousins!"

Her laughter subsided. Her expression suddenly hardened, and she stood proudly in the wind, spear in one hand, her entire demeanor changing in an instant.

At that moment, Chu Fan saw a familiar, cringeworthy glint in her eyes—the look of someone with delusions of grandeur.

He then heard her declare, "The man for me, Wang Yiyi, must be a figure of astonishing talent, unparalleled in this world!"

"He could defeat the Northern Domain Sword Venerable without even drawing his blade."

"He could command the winds of change without ever raising his voice!"

She looked up at the sky, her eyes glazed over as if lost in a dream. "He must have eyes that pierce through all falsehood, eyes that contain entire galaxies."

"When he is still, he is as tranquil as a placid well, yet his gaze alone can command the might of a thousand thunderbolts!"

"More importantly, he must have a heart that has sailed a thousand seas yet remains untouched by the world’s dust. His body might be in an Asura Scene, but his heart must reside in Baiyu City..."

"Only such a man is worthy of the spear I wield!"

"..." Chu Fan watched Wang Yiyi in silence. ’Yep,’ he thought, ’definitely the craziest one of the bunch...’

’Any normal person, even if they had such thoughts, would never just blurt them all out.’

’There’s definitely something wrong with this world...’

’The higher the Cultivation, the crazier the person.’

From Xiao Ziye at the Demon Suppression Bureau to the prodigies standing before him now, the number of strange people he’d encountered was only growing.

Chu Fan opened his mouth, intending to say something to break the awkward silence.

SWISH!

Leaving a Residual Image hanging in the air, Wang Yiyi had already vanished.

Softly she departed, just as softly as she had arrived.

She didn’t flick her sleeves, nor did she take a single cloud.

Chu Fan shook his head and turned to look at the spot where Princess Zhaohua had been standing.

It was empty...

Only blades of grass swayed gently in the breeze.

Princess Zhaohua, too, had left at some unknown moment.

"They certainly don’t linger..."

Chu Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He was just about to turn and call for Qin Fang and Zhao Qingyan to leave.

But the moment he turned, his body jolted, and his heart nearly leaped into his throat!

There stood Princess Zhaohua, clad in robes as white as snow and radiating a frigid air. She hadn’t left at all. At some unknown point, she had silently appeared less than two feet behind him!

Her cold, clear eyes were fixed silently upon him.

She had no discernible aura, like a phantom.

"Commandery Princess, you’ll give someone a heart attack appearing like that..."

Chu Fan suppressed the terror rising in his chest as cold sweat beaded on his back.

It had been a long time since he’d been frightened like this.

If it had been anyone else, he would have just slapped them across the face.

Chu Fan took a deep breath, forced himself to remain composed, and bowed respectfully in greeting.

Then, with his head lowered, he took a step to the side, intending to walk around the troublesome princess.

WHOOSH!

A fragrant breeze wafted by.

Princess Zhaohua hadn’t seemed to move at all, yet like a phantom, she was once again perfectly blocking his path.

Chu Fan was forced to a halt and looked up in resignation.

"The last time we met in Lingyou Valley, I struck you with my sword."

Princess Zhaohua’s voice was chilly and crisp, like pearls dropping onto a jade platter.

’She recognizes me... Did she memorize my aura?’

Chu Fan blinked.

’He had never practiced a Technique for concealing his aura.’

’It would be perfectly normal for an expert of her caliber to remember his aura.’
