Chapter 197: Chapter 127: Evil Karma as a Vow, Ping’an Town (Three-in-One)_3

Chen Kuang turned his head to look at Liu Qingcheng, raising an eyebrow and said, "Do you want to become stronger?"

Liu Qingcheng’s eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

At this moment, she didn’t seem like the cold and famous courtesan, but rather had the endearing bashfulness of a little girl discovering something new.

Chen Kuang said flatly, "Then first decide, do you want to be human, or a demon?"

Liu Qingcheng was taken aback, "Isn’t there no distinction between humans and demons in this world?"

Chen Kuang glanced at her, smiling, "I say it’s possible, but you can’t take it seriously."

Liu Qingcheng: "..."

She finally understood, this old monster just liked to play with people!

Liu Hua Kui had already automatically regarded Chen Kuang as an ancient monster who had lived for countless years, thinking it was quite normal for those who live long to have odd temperaments...

This question was indeed very crucial, perhaps this old monster was testing her stance, it had to be carefully considered before answering.

Liu Qingcheng cautiously said, "Can I think about it for a few more days before answering?"

Chen Kuang nodded profoundly and said, "You can."

In fact, he was just being intentionally mysterious.

Liu Qingcheng’s performance tonight was quite good, making him feel that perhaps he really could cultivate a spokesperson to communicate with others on his behalf, allowing him to remain hidden.

But as of now, he didn’t have a suitable cultivation technique to give away.

However, as the old saying goes, if you don’t have a gun or cannon, the enemy will build them for you.

What cultivation technique Liu Qingcheng could practice depended on the people who would come later...

Having received a definite answer, Liu Qingcheng felt elated, suppressing her emotions, and bowed to Chen Kuang to take her leave.

"Then the junior will not disturb the senior’s rest... Earlier, the junior was ignorant and offended the senior many times. I will prepare a substantial gift to apologize tomorrow, hoping the senior can forgive."

She gracefully bowed, and after her tone softened, she had a sense of irresistible charm.

Especially those two weighted straps around her neck, which swayed so much, they seemed about to snap.

Very well-mannered, as everyone knows, an apology means to reveal...

Chen Kuang interrupted his own thoughts, coughed twice, and said in a deep voice, "No need to apologize, I was merely looking for a place to rest, and the identity you arranged for me isn’t bad either."

Liu Qingcheng bowed again, slowly turned around, and left, closing the door respectfully.

To say the least, this courtesan, when not being proud, was indeed pleasing to the eye and well-mannered...

Chen Kuang sat back down on his bed.

"However, thinking back... why did I save those fifty thousand lives then?"

Chen Kuang frowned, the unsolved mystery that had been buried in his heart came to the surface again with recent thoughts, bringing more questions.

Especially since the status bar specifically pointed out that it was because he "gave some steamed buns to Lady Liang", leading to indirectly saving fifty thousand lives.

In other words, it was Chu Wen Ruo, as Lady Liang, who was the key.

He couldn’t make sense of this detail at that time, nor had he had time to think about it later.

Now, he was noticing more peculiarities.

If he hadn’t shared the buns at that time... Chu Wen Ruo actually had thoughts of seeking death.

If Chu Wen Ruo died, then Huo Hengxuan would surely have revealed his strength prematurely, but even during the final Saint’s battle, since the main battleground was not on the ground, it wouldn’t have caused the complete annihilation of fifty thousand Black Armor Army...

Therefore, with all the known external forces at that time, it was impossible for all fifty thousand of them to die.

"No... there’s one more."

Chen Kuang suddenly remembered an external force he thought was key at the time, but until the end, there was no movement.

At that time, he speculated that the invasion of the Liang Kingdom by the Zhou Kingdom had two purposes, one being the Elixir of Longevity, and the second... was the Ancient Great Demon suppressed under the Liang Kingdom.

The Elixir of Longevity was naturally on Chen Kuang, but that great demon seemed to have vanished into thin air, never showing itself despite the deadly battles above.

"If that mysterious Ancient Great Demon is added, then it might really be possible for fifty thousand Black Armor Army to perish on the spot..."

Chen Kuang thought it over, but couldn’t figure out how Chu Wen Ruo could influence that Ancient Great Demon.

But in his heart, he faintly knew that Chu Wen Ruo was not simple.

When he was in the cell, with "inhuman perception", he discovered a layer of soft white light on Chu Wen Ruo that never disappeared.

But he did not know what this white light represented.

"Perhaps Chu Wen Ruo is the key to waking up that great demon?"

Chen Kuang could only guess so.

He felt an inexplicable melancholy.

He didn’t know... how Chu Wen Ruo and the Little Princess were now?

After all, having been dependent on each other along the way, Chen Kuang did have some feelings for the mother and daughter.

There was no need to worry much about Shen Meinan, she was Shen Xingzhu’s sister, the second lady of the Shen Family, and if she ran away from home, at most she’d get scolded.

But Chu Wen Ruo and the Little Princess were different.

Though they should be inside the borders of the Yang Kingdom by now, they were still not completely out of danger.

Chen Kuang thought he might need a channel to gather information... the brothel was actually a very good choice.

Chen Kuang chuckled silently, having stumbled into such a convenient place in many aspects.

"Phew..."

Chen Kuang let out a breath, sat cross-legged, and continued to enhance the strength of his current body with the "Mud Golden Sculpting Technique."

He was confident he could make this body enter the Tower Ascension Realm by tomorrow.

Chen Kuang entered a meditative state.

At this moment, the two strands of black and white mist in his Divine Sense suddenly separated.

The black mist abruptly disappeared, its whereabouts unknown.

And now, Chen Kuang’s consciousness in the "In-Between" couldn’t help but feel ecstatic, leaping up from his meditative position with shock and joy in his eyes.
