Chapter 1345: Chapter 1358: Heart’s Knot
Jiang Fan, feeling somewhat guilty under her glare, said:
"You’re trying to skin me alive, so am I wrong to fight back?"
Green Pearl angrily replied, "Yes, yes, you’re not wrong, I’m the one at fault, is that okay?"
She formed her five fingers into a claw and fiercely grabbed at Jiang Fan!
The overwhelming Yin Qi Demon Claw quickly enveloped Jiang Fan.
The Demoness and True Word Venerable’s expressions slightly changed, launching an attack from behind her again.
Green Pearl had no choice but to retract her hand, deciding to defeat the two women first.
Despite being injured, she still exploded with crushing combat power, causing the Demoness and True Word Venerable to retreat step by step.
Even though True Word Venerable used a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, and the Demoness used all her strength.
But Green Pearl’s strength was like an insurmountable mountain, oppressing them to the point where they couldn’t breathe.
The Demoness whispered, "Did this little girl swallow gunpowder? This isn’t stealing a man; this is risking her life."
True Word Venerable suppressed the metallic taste in her throat, unable to speak of her bitterness.
For some reason, when Green Pearl attacked her, it was noticeably harsher than against the Demoness.
The look in her eyes was also clearly more hostile toward the True Word Venerable than towards the Demoness.
This left True Word Venerable confused.
And Jiang Fan could see that the Demoness and True Word Venerable were about to be overwhelmed.
Not daring to hesitate, he said, "You two, suppress her as best as you can!"
The two women glanced at Venerate Xinnie and immediately understood that Jiang Fan was about to unleash a kill strike capable of taking down a Venerate!
Without delay, they forced themselves to endure Green Pearl’s enormous onslaught, simultaneously unleashing the power of their Spiritual Artifacts.
Two waves of fire once again besieged Green Pearl.
The combined attack of the two Venerables, along with the strike from Jiang Fan capable of slaying a Venerate.
Green Pearl is sure to be severely wounded!
Clang!
Jiang Fan seized the opportunity, and three top-grade Spirit Swords were unsheathed in unison.
Green Pearl, realizing that Jiang Fan still intended to attack her, became completely furious.
"You’re still coming at me!"
She shouted, her eyes spinning with two mysterious ripples.
It was her bloodline talent!
Deleting memory!
The ripples swept out, and the Demoness and True Word Venerable suddenly felt a blank in their minds.
It was as if something was pressing down on their memories.
Both were dazed, standing in place, even forgetting why they were there at that moment.
Their attacks lost their support and dissipated one after another.
Green Pearl broke free from the clutches of the black and red fire waves, glaring at Jiang Fan with a frosty face.
She let out a voice as cold as ice.
"Jiang Fan! I won’t let you off!"
Jiang Fan’s heart skipped a beat.
He had underestimated the strength of a Two-crown Asura King; the gap between two crowns and one is not something that can be bridged by sheer numbers.
Looking at the approaching Green Pearl, he said awkwardly, "Green Pearl, will you listen to me make excuses one more time?"
Green Pearl was even angrier: "Do you think I can be fooled by you again?"
"You lying fraud!"
Swoosh.
Green Pearl instantly teleported over, grasping the three top-grade spirit swords, which hadn’t yet formed a Divine Rainbow, in her hand.
Her face was less than a foot away from Jiang Fan, so close they could hear each other’s breathing.
"You should pay the price!"
She raised her hand, ready to slap down hard.
Jiang Fan’s heart pounded crazily, but he remained relatively calm.
Because he still had the Sage’s Engraving, Green Pearl’s slap would render her in a state of self-loss,
and that would be his chance to escape.
However, the imagined scene of her slapping him did not occur.
Just as her slap was about to reach his chest, Green Pearl suddenly withdrew her force, finally landing a light pat instead.
Her face remained icy, but her eyes carried a touch of mist, and her voice quivered with a slight tremor:
"You’re the one who deceived me, making me gnash my teeth in hatred!"
"And the one who moved me by using your body to shield me from the Sun Chasing Asura King is also you!"
"Jiang Fan, which is the real you?"
"Why do you make me both hate and... unable to forget you?"
"Why?"
Jiang Fan was dumbfounded.
It turned out Green Pearl still remembered when Jiang Fan sheltered her from the Ari Shura King transformed into the Three Star Giant King.
She had always held a grudge about it.
He sighed lightly and said, "Both are true."
"Deceiving you is true; you and I are enemies, I needed to save my life."
"Saving you is also true; you’re not bad, I didn’t want to see you die."
"Is this answer enough?"
Upon hearing the first sentence, Green Pearl angrily raised her hand again.
But after hearing the second, she slowly lowered it.
In the end, she silently retracted it.
It was as if she had unraveled a knot in her heart, tears sliding down as she choked back tears:
"Do you know what I was thinking when you risked your life to protect me?"
"I was thinking, if you came back alive from Red Sleeves, what harm would it do to become your real wife?"
"You’re the first person to risk their life for me, yet I erased your memories and used you. How guilty do you think I feel about this?"
Jiang Fan tried to reach out to wipe away her tears.
Green Pearl nudged his hand away, biting her red lips slightly: "But I didn’t expect it wasn’t me deceiving you."
"It was you who were deceiving me all along!"
"Do you know how angry I was when I learned the truth? I was so furious I felt like my lungs were going to explode; do you know what that’s like?"
At this point, she couldn’t help but laugh herself.
But she thought she shouldn’t laugh and forced herself to look angry.
For a moment, she looked both angry and amusing.
Jiang Fan cleared his throat and said, "Then it’s still not too late for you to become my real wife now."
Green Pearl truly laughed in anger, clenched her fists, and said: "In your dreams!"
"You tricked me like a fool and still want me to be your real wife?"
"You’ve already missed the moment when I was most moved! You’ll regret it for the rest of your life!"
"You’ll never get me again!"
"Hmph!"
She placed her hands on her hips and arrogantly raised her little chin, like a proud little peacock, snorted coquettishly.
Jiang Fan was helplessly amused.
He wanted to give Green Pearl a piece of his mind, as he wasn’t lacking in women.
But clearing up the misunderstanding with difficulty, how could he provoke this little tigress again?
"Then you should quickly return to the Heavenly Realm."
"With all this commotion, if the Great Wine Sacrifice catches up, it’ll be hard for you to leave."
Hearing Jiang Fan’s concern, Green Pearl’s resentment lessened.
But she still rolled her eyes: "No need for your fake concern, I have my own discretion!"
She turned her head to look at Venerate Xinnie, who was barely alive, gasping for air.
Her face turned cold: "Are you Venerate Xinnie?"
"I’ve heard you can move the Connecting Sky Black Pillar?"
The Demoness and True Word Venerable gradually freed themselves from the influence of the bloodline talent and regained their memories.
Upon hearing this.
The two women’s eyes flickered and they glanced quietly at Jiang Fan.
The main figure was right there.
But they didn’t utter a word.
Instead, they looked at Venerate Xinnie, feeling a sense of tension.
It seemed Green Pearl’s real target was to kill the mover of the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.
If Venerate Xinnie exposed Jiang Fan, would Green Pearl let him off?
If she did, she herself wouldn’t be able to report back.
Jiang Fan’s expression tightened too.
Venerate Xinnie must resent him for bringing him to this point, right?
If he spoke the truth, then Jiang Fan and Green Pearl might also be forced into outright conflict.
It’s a situation he really didn’t want to see.
