Free Web NovelChapter 225: Chapter 178: I Miss You So Much, and You Must Remember to Miss Me Too
He frowned, his expression especially serious.
"If his identity leaks, do you think there will still be a place for you in the Empire? If you insist on being with him, how will the rest of the world see you?"
Jiang Yunnuan: "..."
She didn’t care in the slightest what the world thought of her.
But having no place in the Empire... that was a significant threat. After all, her main quest was inextricably linked to the Empire.
’But why was this guy telling her all this? Was it a warning, or a threat?’
"Trust me, revealing my identity will bring you nothing but regret!"
Yan Chen narrowed his eyes, his gaze icily fixed on him.
’He had no intention of making an enemy of the Human Clan, no desire to stir up trouble. He had only come here to be with her. So why did people always have to come looking for trouble?’
’They’d better not push him. Otherwise, not even he knew what he might do.’
Hearing this, Feng Qianyan let out a cold, arrogant laugh. "Is that so? I’d love to see just how I’ll come to regret it."
’Threatening him?’
’Hah. The person who could actually threaten him hadn’t been born yet.’
Seeing the sheer hostility between them, Jiang Yunnuan felt a massive headache coming on. ’Suddenly, she thought it might be better to just let them fight it out.’
’Maybe if they got it out of their systems, all this nonsense would stop.’
"Admiral Feng, as long as you don’t reveal Yan Chen’s identity, no one else will know. I hope you can remain silent on this matter."
"I’m not saying this to guilt-trip you. I’m genuinely concerned about the stability of the Empire."
"Just imagine: if the public learned there was an Ultimate Venerable Peak Mutant within the Empire, what do you think their first reaction would be?"
"Panic, undoubtedly. With billions thrown into a panic, how could the Empire maintain order? And without order, how can there be stability?"
"As the commander of the Ninth Legion, is that the kind of Empire you want to see?"
"Besides, you need evidence for everything. Do you have any proof of Yan Chen’s identity? If you can’t produce any, people won’t necessarily believe you."
"In fact, it’s more likely to put *you* in the eye of the storm."
After listening to her appeal to both reason and emotion, Feng Qianyan laughed, as if mocking her naivety.
’Evidence?’
’Hah. Of course he had it.’
’Sky City possessed a great treasure, the Zhaoyuan Divine Mirror, which could reveal the beast form of any Beastman.’
’All he had to do was shine the Zhaoyuan Divine Mirror on that Mutant Creature, and its true form would be exposed with nowhere to hide.’
’It was just that, for now, he didn’t want to take things that far.’
"Hah. It seems you’re quite worried about his identity being exposed. If that’s the case, why insist on staying with him and creating such a liability for yourself? Wouldn’t it be better to undergo Contract Termination?"
Jiang Yunnuan: "..."
’This guy... he was so insistent on her and Yan Chen terminating their contract. Wasn’t he being a little too nosy?’
’What did it have to do with him whether they ended the contract or not?’
"You’re so annoying. What happens between her and me is none of your business! When did it become your place to interfere?"
Feng Qianyan’s constant meddling, trying to get them to terminate their contract and separate, was starting to get on Yan Chen’s last nerve.
He frowned, his handsome, refined face darkening with a thick cloud of fury.
The words had barely left his mouth when, unable to tolerate it any longer, he waved his hand.
A massive bolt of black energy swept out, blotting out the sky as it hurtled toward Feng Qianyan. Seeing this, Feng Qianyan’s eyes glinted, and the corner of his mouth curved into a triumphant smirk.
He then shot backward as raging flames instantly erupted around him.
With a wave of his arm, a torrent of flames danced forward to meet the bolt of black energy.
"Little Ah Nuan, stand back. I’m going to teach that obnoxious pest a lesson."
Yan Chen instructed in a low voice. The moment he finished speaking, his figure flickered and shot toward Feng Qianyan.
By the time Jiang Yunnuan could react, they were already clashing in mid-air.
Their fists and feet flew, each blow carrying immense Energy. Flames and black energy collided violently, their movements too fast for the naked eye to follow.
BOOM...
The sound of exploding Energy was incessant. Jiang Yunnuan craned her neck to watch them, feeling utterly exasperated.
’Why did they have to start fighting again, out of nowhere?’
’No telling how long this was going to last.’
After a few minutes, she grew bored. Remembering what happened last time, she wasn’t the least bit worried about Yan Chen losing. So, she opened her Light Brain, planning to use the opportunity to contact Fu Yuan.
Normally, Yan Chen was by her side 24/7, leaving her no chance to even chat with Fu Yuan. This was a golden opportunity.
As soon as she entered the chat interface, she saw a flood of unread messages, all from Fu Yuan.
She opened them to find text messages, photos, and videos.
"Nuannuan, I’ve arrived safely. Just wanted to let you know. Also, I miss you so much. Make sure you miss me, too."
"I know I promised to take you treasure hunting last time, but something unexpected came up and we had to call it off. I haven’t forgotten, though."
"Look, these are all treasures I found for you. When I come back, I’ll bring them all to you."
Embedded in the message was a video showing a collection of natural, multicolored gemstones of all shapes, along with countless pearls of various sizes and colors.
In addition, there were countless rare and precious ores, as well as innumerable Sea Clan Inner Cores.
"This is just what I found in half a day. I’ll definitely have more by the time I see you again."
"Nuannuan, there’s a treasure grotto in this part of the sea. I don’t know who hid their treasures here, but unfortunately, it’s protected by a seal that I can’t break just yet." freёwebnovel.com
"The moment I can break the seal, everything inside will be yours."
"Nuannuan, I’ve discovered a Secret Realm and might need to go into seclusion for two days. When I come out, I hope I’ll have a reply from you."
"Even just a single word would be enough, just so I know you saw my messages..."
That was the last message. After it was a high-definition selfie.
The man in the photo had the upper body of a human and the tail of a fish. He was leaning against a beautiful rock, a gentle, charming smile on his lips. His long, ink-blue hair flowed over his chest and back, trailing all the way to the ground.
His top was open, revealing his full, well-defined chest and abs. His chest was adorned with a scattering of iridescent scales and pearls, and his fingers were formed into a hand gesture for "I love you."
’This guy... transforming like that and deliberately picking this angle for the photo... is he trying to seduce me on purpose?’
Jiang Yunnuan instantly forgot all his previous messages. Her mind was completely filled by the stunning creature before her eyes, and she was practically drooling. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
’Ugh, if I’d known he was this good at seduction, I should have made him give me a live performance a few days ago.’
’What’s the use of trying to seduce me now?’
’I can’t see it in person, much less touch it.’
She silently saved the photo, then sent him a message.
"Focus on your seclusion and don’t worry. Everything’s fine on my end. I miss you a lot, too. I can’t wait for you to come back soon."
