Di Ting also laughed.
Seriously.
Neither it nor Qing Long had expected Chen Nan to master the Xuan Wu Transformation so easily.
He was truly the chosen one!
His comprehension was simply incredible!
“Perhaps, their decision this time was the right one!” Xuan Wu murmured, then opened its mouth and spat out a yellow droplet of water.
The droplet flew directly towards Chen Nan.
Though it was only a single drop of water.
Chen Nan saw surging floods within it.
He saw boiling rivers.
He saw endless oceans.
It also gave him a suffocating feeling.
Without further thought.
He opened his mouth and swallowed the yellow droplet.
In an instant.
He felt an unparalleled power surge within him.
Like a rushing river.
It forcibly widened his meridians.
Intense pain swept through Chen Nan’s soul.
But he was oblivious.
The reason was simple.
It was because he had mastered the Xuan Wu Transformation.
The Xuan Wu Transformation became the foremost defensive technique in the three realms, not because of its simplicity as people imagined.
It wasn't that Xuan Wu's shell was exceptionally hard.
Rather, it was that it burned its vital essence to ward off attacks.
Yes.
There was no absolute strongest defense in this world.
There was only the silent sacrifice of Xuan Wu burning its vital essence.
“With my current strength, I am nowhere near capable of controlling all water laws.”
Chen Nan knew his limits.
He immediately employed spatial laws to contain the water laws within his sea of consciousness.
However.
While he couldn't control all water laws.
He could control one-tenth of them.
This would allow him to counter the fire laws within his body.
He would no longer fear being backlashed by the fire laws.
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye.
When Chen Nan opened his eyes.
Xuan Wu was already nowhere to be found.
Not only that.
Qing Long was also gone.
Only Di Ting was waiting for him.
“Fourth Brother has left this realm,” Di Ting said. “As for Big Brother… he said he went to chase girls!”
“I just don’t understand.”
“The Divine Dragon, once the head of the Four Divine Beasts.”
“How did he also become so lecherous?”
“And also.”
“How can a dragon go chase girls?”
Hearing this.
The joy of having just obtained the water laws vanished instantly.
Chen Nan’s face turned sallow, anger burning in his eyes: “What did Qing Long go to do? Chase girls?”
Di Ting grunted, “Yes, is there a problem?”
Seeing Chen Nan’s furious expression, Di Ting’s face turned serious, his tone stern: “Chen Nan, although you are the hope chosen by those ancient saints, you must understand one thing.”
“You bear the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the three realms and rebuilding the Heavenly Court.”
“And!”
“My brother Long made so many contributions to the three realms.”
“Finally, there’s a moment of peace.”
“What’s wrong with him relaxing by chasing girls?”
“Can’t you let him enjoy himself a bit?”
“Go to hell!” Chen Nan roared. “He used my body to chase girls!”
Di Ting gasped. “Brother Long is that adventurous?”
Chen Nan’s teeth ached with rage.
He forcibly suppressed the urge to eat the dog.
He could not forgive Qing Long for using his body to chase girls.
Couldn’t he have just used his body to show off in the mortal world?
Why did he have to chase girls?
If he chased girls… who would he be counted for?
“Alright, alright, we’ve been out for several days, it’s time to return to Guangling Prefecture!” Di Ting changed the subject. Seeing Chen Nan’s unhappiness, he comforted him, “Even if Brother Long used your body to chase girls in the mortal world, it’s no big deal.”
“With Brother Long’s taste, he must have gone for a beauty.”
“When you get back, you’ll have a ready-made one!”
“Having a ready-made girl to warm your bed, isn’t that what you’ve always dreamed of?”
“Damn it!” Chen Nan grew angrier the more he listened. “Get down, I’ll ride you back.” Saying this, he directly mounted Di Ting.
Di Ting didn’t get angry. It leaped into the air and flew towards the shore. It looked back at Chen Nan and said, “I have a question.”
“If Brother Long used your body to get involved with a girl, and somehow made her pregnant, who would be the father of the child?”
“Hey, don’t hit my dog head.”
“If you keep this up, don’t blame me for turning on you.”
“If you say another word, I’ll turn on you!” Chen Nan exuded a powerful aura of ferocity.
Qing Long was simply too much of a scoundrel!
It made him unable to let go of this.
If it was just talking and falling in love with a girl, that would be one thing.
But if they truly had a passionate affair.
He really didn’t know how he would handle the aftermath when he returned.
“No.”
“We must find a way to enter Fengdu City as soon as possible.”
“Quickly enter the eighteen layers of hell to return the Human Realm and Beast Realm to Empress Houtu.”
“I need to return to the mortal world as soon as possible.”
“Otherwise, that Qing Long fellow will cause me a lot of trouble.”
Upon reaching the shore.
Chen Nan saw Bai Yu waiting there.
Bai Yu had been staying here during this time.
Not out of concern for Chen Nan.
She just thought that if he really died, she could at least help him collect his corpse…
Di Ting said, “Miss Bai, come, come, ride me. I’ll take you both back to Guangling Prefecture.”
“No need, I can fly back myself,” Bai Yu replied coldly.
She didn’t want to ride Di Ting together with Chen Nan.
“Miss Bai, this is the Gonggong Sword, here, return it to its rightful owner!”
Chen Nan took out the Gonggong Sword and handed it to Bai Yu.
It was just a magical artifact.
Not to mention that he didn’t fancy it.
Even if he genuinely liked it.
He wouldn’t snatch it away from someone.
After all, this Gonggong Sword was found by Bai Yu.
In the evening.
Chen Nan, Bai Yu, and Di Ting, two humans and one demon, returned to Guangling Prefecture.
Having been away for many days.
Guangling Prefecture had already entered winter.
Especially after a heavy rain yesterday, the temperature in Guangling Prefecture had dropped to below zero.
Sharp, transparent icicles had formed under many eaves.
He first went to the Demon Suppression Department.
After confirming that there had been no cases during this period, he returned home.
“I wonder how the Lu sisters have been living during this time.”
“Without my presence, their nights must have been agonizing, right?”
Chen Nan thought of the snake demon sisters.
Indeed.
After not seeing them for so long, he actually missed sleeping with them.
Even if they did nothing.
He could relax.
“It’s really a bit cold!” Seeing a place selling liquor on the street, Chen Nan’s lips curled up, smiling, “Let’s go buy a few catties of liquor to warm ourselves up when we get home.”
Di Ting gave him a sideways glance. “Are you sure you want to drink to warm yourself up?”
“I don’t even bother to expose your lie.”
“You clearly want to get yourself drunk, use the courage from alcohol to take down the Lu sisters!”
Chen Nan gently stroked Di Ting’s dog head and said earnestly, “As the saying goes, seeing through but not saying it keeps friendship alive. You are really asking for a beating like this!”
“And also.”
“I am working hard for the rise of the three realms, not hesitating to cross Yin and Yang to enter the underworld.”
“Am I not allowed to relax a bit?”
