CapĂtulo 1511: Chapter 1546: A Lump
Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
When Jiang Fan returned,
he found the Pavilion Master and some disciples setting up three ancient array plates.
Jiang Fan remembered that these were top-grade defense treasures given by a few Venerables from the Great Wilderness State during their last âvisitâ.
Each array plate could block an attack from a Divinity Transformation Venerable.
If the Giant King were to attack the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, these array plates could temporarily withstand their attacks three times.
But, if it truly came to that point, it would imply that Taicang State had already suffered a great defeat and was powerless to stop the Ancient Giants from destroying various sects.
At that time, it would undoubtedly be a precarious situation.
Letâs hope these array plates are never needed.
âMaster? Youâre back?â
Xia Chaoge, who was assisting the Pavilion Master, seemed to sense something and looked over, her calm eyes immediately filled with joy.
She dropped what she was doing and quickly approached, standing charmingly in front of Jiang Fan.
In a pear blossom-colored embroidered cloud long dress, she outlined a graceful and beautiful figure.
Her black hair was like a waterfall, and her crystal eyes shone like jewels.
A faint fragrance wafted in with the breeze.
Jiang Fan looked at her with mixed feelings.
This girl, calm as still water, who only smiled brightly like peach blossoms when she saw him, was actually from the Alien Race.
How did she come from the Heavenly Realm to Central Earth?
And why did she come?
What purpose was she hiding with her dual identity?
For a moment, Xia Chaoge seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him.
âMaster? Whatâs wrong?â
âWere you injured?â Xia Chaoge noticed Jiang Fanâs unusual expression, her smile fading as she became worried.
Even when she was injured, she wouldnât frown.
But when Jiang Fan was hurt, she couldnât stay calm.
Jiang Fan pulled himself out of his thoughts, looking at her concerned face, he recalled various moments with Xia Chaoge.
He eventually sighed inwardly:
âNever mind, who she is or what purpose she has doesnât matter.â
âI just need to know sheâs Xia Chaoge, the one who has silently cared for me all along.â
Shaking his head, Jiang Fan smiled and said, âItâs nothing, this trip was very smooth.â
Xia Chaoge didnât believe him, frowning, âThen why were you staring at me just now?â
Jiang Fan chuckled, âItâs been a long time since Iâve seen you, canât I look at you a little longer?â
Ah?
Xia Chaoge blushed, hurriedly looking around, her face tinged with red.
This was the first time Jiang Fan had said something so intimate to her.
It made her quite embarrassed.
And made her heart flutter like a deer running wild, her mind wandering, secretly guessing the deeper meaning in Jiang Fanâs words.
Jiang Fan took out the Earth Tooth Sword, handing it to her, saying:
âThis is a top-grade Spirit Sword given to me by my adoptive mother, the Earth Tooth Sword.â
âIâm lending it to you for self-defense.â
The Dayan Sword Array at Great Success needs six top-grade Spirit Swords.
Currently, there are only five, and the Earth Tooth Sword and Evil Sword are unused, so itâs better to give them to Xia Chaoge to use in battle against the Ancient Giants.
Xia Chaoge was taken aback, his adoptive motherâs gift to Jiang Fan?
It should be given to future daughters-in-law like Fairy Yun Shang or Liu Qingxian instead, right?
Why give it to her?
Xia Chaogeâs face reddened further, her eyes staring at the Earth Tooth Sword in front of her, hesitant to take it.
Jiang Fan wondered: âWhy is she blushing from borrowing a sword?â
âDid I say something ambiguous?â
He tried to probe, âChaoge, if you donât want this sword, I can give you something else.â
He pretended to take it back.
Xia Chaoge quickly snatched it, looking away, her face flushed, not daring to meet Jiang Fanâs eyes.
She stammered, âI want it, of course I want it.â
âThank you, Master.â
âI-Iâll go help the Pavilion Master with the array plates now.â
With that, she ran off as if fleeing.
Leaving Jiang Fan scratching his head.
âHaha, she dares to accept a top-grade Spirit Sword.â
âIf Xu Youran finds out, sheâd be scared to return it.â
Liu Qingxian, watching the scene, shot Jiang Fan a side-eye.
Jiang Fan couldnât help but chuckle.
He knew exactly what Liu Qingxian was hinting at.
Back at the foot of Boundary Mountain, when he distributed the Bodhi Seeds among everyone.
Xu Youran suddenly appeared, scaring Xia Chaoge into sheepishly returning the Bodhi Seeds.
As Liu Qingxian approached, Jiang Fan didnât hesitate either.
He took out the Green Frost Sword.
As an inheritor of the mysterious elderly Sword Dao master, Liu Qingxian also needed a good sword.
He only needed Tingxue, the Purple Sword, and the Evil Sword to form the Dayan Sword Array and kill enemies.
âThis oneâs for you.â
Liu Qingxian accepted it in one swoop, then grinned, âThis is more like it!â
âIf you give it to your disciple but not to me, Iâd definitely tell Xu Youran!â
Jiang Fan chuckled, knowing only Liu Qingxian would talk to him so straightforwardly.
He looked at the beauty in a purple dress and silently hugged her waist, softly saying:
âTake care of yourself on the battlefield.â
Liu Qingxianâs smile faded, her heart growing heavy.
In this battle, anyone could fall.
She might, or Jiang Fan might.
âYou too, Fan.â Liu Qingxian reached out to embrace him, savoring the last warmth before the catastrophe.
Sensing the emotions of parting, Jiang Fan felt something in his heart, lowered his head, and kissed her red lips.
But.
Some things simply have no sense of timing.
Jiang Fanâs pants leg was tugged by something.
Looking down, he saw a Spirit Beast in baby form, with whiskers and covered in green scales.
Who else but Rebellious Guy?
It rubbed its hands, speaking in a childish voice, âBig brother, can you spare me some treasures too?â
It turned out Rebellious Guy had been watching from afar, enticed by Jiang Fanâs continual giveaway of treasures.
So it came over to ask for some as well.
His pleasant moment interrupted, Jiang Fan lost his temper and kicked it away!
âStop hanging around with Liang Feiyan!â
Rebellious Guy rolled away a few times, looking bewildered:
âWhatâs wrong with Brother Liang?â
Jiang Fan snorted disdainfully, growing more and more displeased with Rebellious Guy.
Suddenly, he remembered there was something that needed someone to handle, so he had a thought and took out three oval eggs.
They turned out to be the eggs of the Shadow Black Snake.
If hatched, they could yield a venom lethal to the Ancient Giants.
However, hatching such a venomous snake wasnât without its dangers.
He wouldnât trust anyone else with it.
Rebellious Guy was the right fit.
This little trickster full of rebellion, he wouldnât care even if it died from the poison.
With a glint in his eye, Jiang Fan cleared his throat, âRebellious Guy, I have an important mission for you.â
âThese are the eggs of three Divine Beasts. Once successfully hatched, they will breed a lethal weapon against the Ancient Giants.â
âThis task, I wouldnât trust to anyone else.â
âAfter careful consideration, only someone as capable as you fits the bill.â
Rebellious Guy was stunned.
Was he dreaming? Jiang Fan was actually praising him?
And saying he was capable?
This made Rebellious Guy puff up his chest, thinking he truly stood tall today!
But, looking at these so-called Divine Beast eggs, Rebellious Guyâs whiskered lip twitched, suspicious:
âThese are snake eggs, right?â
âWonât the hatched snakes bite me?â
Jiang Fanâs face stiffened for a moment; he almost forgot that Rebellious Guy was a True Spirit.
Its sensitivity to the Demon Race was sharp.
Jiang Fan maintained his composure and said, âThis venom is only harmful to Ancient Giants.â
âItâs not very toxic to other creatures.â
âIf bitten, it would just cause a bump.â
After speaking.
Jiang Fan silently added in his mind: âA bump that grows on the top of a hill.â
