Chapter 518: Chapter 512: Staunch Attitude [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets]_1

"You, you, you... how can you be so unreasonable?"

Siti’s face changed drastically, and she said, "You can’t be unreasonable like this."

Sha Chen chuckled. "You come uninvited and still expect me to reason with you? I guess you must have heard who I am before coming here and know what this place is."

"Since you know who I am and still dare to be so arrogant, you really don’t take me seriously. If that’s the case, don’t blame me for being impolite."

Siti’s expression changed slightly, her brow furrowed. Sha Chen’s tone was highly displeasing to her, but his strength was such that she did not dare to object.

Having lived for so many years, she knew that at Sha Chen’s level of strength, with mastery over Divine Powers that could counter hers, she was destined to be defeated.

Before coming here, she indeed had heard of this man, Sha Chen. Initially, she didn’t take it seriously; after all, a mere demoted general from the Heavenly Court was nothing to be concerned about. But as she heard more and more about Sha Chen’s legend, and later that he had become a Quasi-Saint and even defeated other Quasi-Saints, she began to take a little more notice. But, that was all.

Originally, she had wanted to come and play with Sha Chen, since such an interesting person was quite rare. But then the rumors spread that even the Tathagata Buddha couldn’t enter the Flowing Sand River, so naturally, she was even less likely to.

Her coming here this time felt as if a voice in the unseen had guided her. She hadn’t expected to actually make it in and was somewhat proud of herself. But to her surprise, Sha Chen was even more formidable than she had anticipated, an unexpected development.

Now, like a sheep entering the tiger’s den, she somewhat regretted coming. At this moment, she wanted to leave but also felt reluctant, for Innate Earth was exceedingly rare. Moreover, she felt that Sha Chen would not let her leave easily.

Sha Chen looked at Siti and said, "Now you have two choices: submit, or I’ll kill you."

Siti’s face was filled with discontent as she said, "You are really inconsiderate, so barbarically rude! And I, after all, am a great beauty."

Tianpeng also chimed in, "Yeah, Old Sha, this is too much. She’s a great beauty; you can’t treat her like that." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Sha Chen glanced at Tianpeng and said, "If you think it’s wrong, then you can leave the Flowing Sand River."

Tianpeng coughed. "Haha, Old Sha, I was just joking. You’re the master here, and I’m the deputy. Of course, I’ll listen to you."

Sha Chen paid no mind to his shamelessness. Dealing with someone as thick-skinned as Tianpeng required coldness. Otherwise, give him an inch and he’d take a mile, only causing trouble.

Siti, a woman who had lived countless years, might seem naive and pure, but to mistake her for an innocent ’white lotus’ was to court death. Having lived for so long and been chased by countless people, such a woman must be extremely cunning. While perhaps not the shrewdest person in the world, she was certainly in that league and could easily manipulate someone to their doom. Her usual carefree and harmless demeanor had always been her camouflage. It was also because she believed Tianpeng and Sha Chen posed no threat that she had shown this side of herself.

Now, knowing how formidable Sha Chen was, she readily accepted her weaker position and began to play the pity card. It was only because Sha Chen cared nothing for female beauty that he was immune to this ploy. Tianpeng, in contrast, despite having been scolded by her moments ago, was now actually trying to help her. One could imagine how much Siti had benefited in the past by virtue of her beauty and ’white lotus’ persona. If one really thought she was a simple and straightforward type, they truly wouldn’t know how they died.

Tianpeng clearly hadn’t anticipated this. He just found Siti attractive and felt the urge to protect her. Sha Chen, on the other hand, was much more composed, which was also why Siti felt somewhat intimidated and annoyed inside.

After much contemplation, still not wanting to leave the Innate Earth and knowing Sha Chen’s might, not wishing to make an enemy, she said, "How about we coexist peacefully? If you need, I can pick some leaves for you, but not too many, as it would harm my roots. It’s like a woman losing her hair; it can’t be reversed."

Tianpeng interjected, "That sounds good. If a woman loses her hair, she won’t be beautiful. Old Sha, you might as well agree with her."

Sha Chen glanced at him and said, "Shut your mouth."

Then, looking at Siti, he stated, "I’ve told you, you can only submit or be killed by me."

His tone was very firm, his attitude resolute.

Siti grew angry. "Who behaves like you do, leaving no room for discussion? If you act like this, I have no choice but to leave."

She made a show of preparing to leave. Tianpeng was instantly reluctant to let her go and tried every means to keep her. Siti also planned to use Tianpeng as a breakthrough, hoping he could influence Sha Chen’s decision.

But Sha Chen remained unmoved.

She could only genuinely make a move to leave, hoping Sha Chen would ask her to stay.

Sha Chen spoke up, asking, "You want to leave?"

Siti snorted. "If you refuse to be reasonable, then I have no choice but to leave."

In her heart, she was pleased because she sensed from Sha Chen’s words that he didn’t want her to leave.

Sha Chen, however, said, "Did I ever say you could leave? Now that you’re here, do you think you can still decide whether to stay or go?"

Siti’s expression changed drastically; Sha Chen’s words seemed ominous.

She grew angry and said, "Are you trying to forcibly keep me here!? Think carefully. If we really fight, you might not be my match."

"Besides, there are so many flowers and plants here, and it’s your territory. If we fight and they get damaged, you’ll surely be heartbroken."

She planned to use the Elixirs and Immortal Herbs here as leverage against Sha Chen, but he just laughed coldly, saying, "If they get damaged, so be it. I can assure you that you will die. When the time comes, I’ll burn your body for fertilizer, and they will grow even better."

As he spoke, his Xuanyuan Sword was aimed at Siti. At the same time, his other hand was already grasping the Mountain Splitting Axe, ready to swing at any moment.

Siti’s complexion drastically changed. Metal counters wood. She was afraid not only of fire but also of Sha Chen’s Divine weapons, which were predominantly metal and could truly harm her foundation. For this reason, she felt a chill.

Not only was Sha Chen’s strength formidable, but he also mastered spells that could restrain Siti and possessed Magical Tools capable of slaying her.

Damn it! He possessed every means to defeat her!

Sha Chen said, "You have two choices: submit or die."

Siti snorted. "I choose neither. You’re too bullying! Don’t think I really can’t beat you. There are two Elixirs there. If you try to harm me, I’ll consume them."

She once again threatened Sha Chen with the Undying Elixir and the Nine Nether Purple Orchid, hoping he would give in.

Tianpeng, by now, also kept silent. He too had noticed Siti’s unusual nature and naturally stood by Sha Chen’s side, becoming vigilant.

Sha Chen then said, "You can try."

Siti huffed coldly and turned to pick those two Elixirs. But before she could get close, the Wutong trees, Ignorance Willow trees, as well as Ginseng Fruit trees, Peach trees, and Osmanthus trees all grew branches frenetically, lashing out at her.

Siti’s face changed dramatically. She kept stepping back.

Sha Chen chuckled. "You’re so naive, thinking you’re the only one who can take human form?

"There are five Innate Spiritual Roots here, each uniquely blessed, their quality not beneath yours. They lag somewhat behind you only because you were born much earlier, and also because when Zhunti achieved Sainthood, he gifted you a portion.

"However, in my eyes, their usefulness surpasses yours."

Siti looked terrible. She hadn’t expected Sha Chen’s Innate Earth to be so formidable, protected by Spiritual Roots.

Although she could overpower these Spiritual Roots by going all out, as she had transformed and cultivated earlier, possessing far greater strength, taking this opportunity to seize the Elixirs and threaten Sha Chen was still impossible.

Just as she was lost in thought, the Xuanyuan Sword was already at her throat, and the Mountain Splitting Axe was placed at her waist. With just a bit of effort from Sha Chen, she could be bisected at the waist or beheaded.

The piercing chill of the blade made Siti extremely scared, causing her body to tremble and go limp.

"Don’t, don’t kill me! I was just joking before," Siti’s complexion turned pale as she began to submit, saying, "As long as you don’t kill me, I’ll be your woman from now on, do with me as you please."

Sha Chen chuckled. "I don’t like climbing trees; you miscalculated."

A heart free of women, the blade strikes with divine ease.
