Chapter 24 - Unable to Repay, Only Able to Offer Myself!

Besides, Hua Mengying was in such a state, how could a normal man possibly refuse?

Compared to this matter, slacking off could be put on the back burner.

"Having lost the Yin-Yang Divine Water, the male and female leads have completely lost their chance to rise in the early stages, and it will be even more difficult for them to rise in the future!"

"However, both of them are people of destiny, and perhaps they will have other opportunities, but these have nothing to do with me."

Fang Chen didn't care about Xiao Yunting.

How he ended up was none of his concern.

"But this Hua Mengying, I need to consider her later."

Fang Chen thought to himself.

As far as he knew, Hua Mengying's situation in the original storyline was extremely difficult.

Although she was the Saintess of the Moonlit Palace, her actions and style clashed with the Moonlit Palace, leading to an unfavorable attitude from the high-ranking members within.

Ordinary disciples naturally respected her, but the higher-ups of the Moonlit Palace didn't like her. In fact, she wasn't even originally supposed to be the Saintess.

The reason she became the Saintess was because Hua Mengying's Master was a very unrestrained old enchantress, who forced Hua Mengying into the position for her own purposes.

This old enchantress had no good intentions in making Hua Mengying the Saintess.

It wasn't out of any sense of master-disciple affection, but because Hua Mengying had value to her.

Even the fact that Hua Mengying was able to remain pure within the Moonlit Palace was related to this old enchantress.

In a place like the Moonlit Palace, it was impossible to become a Saintess without undergoing dual cultivation.

The reason Hua Mengying's Master did so was to prepare her to be given to a powerful individual, to gain his favor.

It could be said that Hua Mengying had been a pawn of her Master from the very beginning.

In the original novel, Xiao Yunting's ability to win Hua Mengying's heart came from a few sources. One was the severity of the injuries Hua Mengying suffered from Fang Chen. The other was Xiao Yunting playing the role of a hero.

For Hua Mengying, who was in despair at the time, Xiao Yunting's appearance was like a prince charming arriving.

Since Fang Chen had such a relationship with Hua Mengying, he naturally wouldn't sit idly by.

At the same time, a loud boom resounded.

Hua Mengying's cultivation also ended, her aura suddenly soaring, directly breaking through to the Emperor Realm.

"The Holy Son is really amazing, you've tormented me so badly!"

Hua Mengying lay in Fang Chen's arms, her tone gentle.

"My reputation is ruined because of you. How are you going to compensate me?"

Fang Chen asked with a smile.

"I can't repay you with anything else, so I can only offer myself!"

"I guess I'll have to stay by Young Master's side for the rest of my life, working like a cow or a horse to repay you."

Hua Mengying said with a smile.

"Alright, then I can only reluctantly accept. From now on, you'll stay by my side, and I guarantee you'll have the best of everything."

"Are you willing?"

Fang Chen said very generously.

Hua Mengying was naturally agreeable; she couldn't be happier to be by Fang Chen's side.

"I do."

Hua Mengying said shyly.

Previously, she could only fantasize about such a thing. Now that she had the opportunity, she naturally wanted to stay by Fang Chen's side for the rest of her life.

However, she was, after all, the Saintess of Moonlit Palace, and some things weren't up to her.

Fang Chen seemed to see Hua Mengying's worry and said with a smile, "It's best if your Moonlit Palace is willing, but even if they're not, they'll have to be!"

"And that old hag… you probably know better than I do what she's thinking. If you go back, it'll probably be difficult to get out again."

In the original novel, Hua Mengying had long realized that her Master was using her.

She had no choice, unable to leave Moonlit Palace, so she could only maneuver.

"Won't this cause Moonlit Palace to go to war with your Yuntian Holy Land?"

Hua Mengying asked, her face full of worry.

If she did this, it would definitely cause conflict between Moonlit Palace and Yuntian Holy Land.

"I ask you, does Moonlit Palace dare?"

"Your Master isn't someone to be trifled with. She wouldn't do something so pointless."

Fang Chen said calmly.

Although Moonlit Palace was also a top-tier power, it couldn't compare to a major power like Yuntian Holy Land.

"But will your Yuntian Holy Land accept me?"

Hua Mengying still looked a little worried.

She naturally wanted to stay by Fang Chen's side, but the premise was to not cause him any trouble.

After all, she was the Saintess of the Moonlit Palace, and everyone in the world knew the Moonlit Palace's way of doing things.

Although she was still pure, who would believe it?

If she stayed with the Holy Son, Fang Chen, it would definitely bring him trouble, which was what Hua Mengying didn't want to see.

"Why do you think our Holy Land wouldn't accept you?"

"I'm telling you, you're questioning the authority of this Holy Son!"

Fang Chen looked at Hua Mengying and said very seriously.

He was the Yuntian Holy Land's only hope in tens of thousands of years.

His status in the Holy Land was naturally high, not comparable to that of ordinary Holy Sons.

Hua Mengying felt that she had been overthinking.

Fang Chen's status in the Yuntian Holy Land could be said to be second only to one, above everyone else!

"Doesn't Holy Son worry about Lady Lin getting jealous by doing this?"

Hua Mengying laughed.

"What's there to be jealous about? She's secretly hoping that I draw a clear line with her."

Fang Chen looked displeased.

Demon Race, Snake Clan, within the Holy Land.

In a giant pavilion, countless lamps were placed, their strange flames illuminating the entire building.

These lamps were also known as Life Lanterns!

They were made from a very special type of natural treasure.

As long as life essence was infused into them, one could know the life characteristics of the Life Lantern's owner.

The more vigorous the Life Lantern, the stronger the life essence of its owner; conversely, the weaker it was.

Once a Life Lantern extinguished, it meant that its owner had fallen.

Many major powers used Life Lanterns to observe the life essence of important disciples.

If these important disciples encountered an accident, these major powers would know immediately.

In the Life Lantern Pavilion of the Demon Race Snake Clan, these Life Lanterns were arranged in tiers.

The fewer the Life Lanterns on the higher tiers, the higher the status of the owners within the Demon Race Snake Clan.

Suddenly, without any warning, the topmost Life Lantern extinguished. It went out immediately.

Because it happened so quickly, the disciple on duty in the Life Lantern Pavilion didn't notice it immediately.

After a moment, the disciple realized that the topmost Life Lantern had gone out.

Upon discovering this, the disciple's body trembled. He nudged the disciple beside him and said nervously: "Is that Life Lantern... the Holy Son's?"

"Which one?"

The other disciple looked over instinctively. When he saw that Life Lantern extinguished, he was immediately alarmed.

"The Holy Son's Life Lantern has been extinguished, which means the Holy Son has fallen!"

"Who has the audacity to kill the Holy Son?"

The two disciples immediately panicked. The Holy Son's fall was a huge event.

"Something's happened, something terrible!"

"We need to report this to the elders immediately!"

The two disciples hurried out of the Life Lantern Pavilion.
