Qin Nan smacked his lips as he watched it from the side.
He never thought this Elder Sun, a Martial Monarch Realm authority, would have so many different ways of torturing someone. In just a few breaths' time, the middle-aged man and Huo Dun were uttering deathly cries and screams. They had completely put their dignity aside and begged for mercy.
"Princess, this is for you." Qin Nan took out a jar and handed it over.
The wine was called the Misery Ocean Brew, which he had acquired from the auction at Linran City specifically for the Princess.
"Wow." Princess Miao Miao's face was full of joy. She immediately received the jar with care. Knowing that her reaction was too extreme, she let out a cough and said with a harrumph, "Not bad, knowing to bring the Princess a gift, considering I've always treated you well."
Elder Sun let out a wry smile in his heart.
He could easily tell that it was only a jar of the Misery Ocean Brew.
He recalled that when the Princess had returned to the Lost Herb Garden, the Young Masters of several ancient tribes and the great authorities came visiting with extremely rare wines. However, the Princess never cast a straight glance at them, let alone being so surprised like now.
"Take this Seven Slaughter Talisman."
Princess Miao Miao suddenly blinked and took out a talisman.
Qin Nan was startled, who spoke while shaking his head, "Princess, I can't take the talisman..."
"Oh, it's fine..." Princess Miao Miao rolled her eyes and said, "If you don't want it, I'll be taking everything inside your Sumeru Ring..."
Hearing this, Qin Nan immediately took two steps backward with an alert expression.
He clearly knew the Princess' personality. She was extremely fond of treasure. She would take every piece of treasure she stumbled into regardless of its value.
He had experienced it first-hand back at the Mystic Spirit Sect.
"What is your reaction implying?" Princess Miao Miao snapped, "I don't care, you have to take this Seven Slaughter Talisman. Of course, it's not given to you for free. You will have to obey my orders when we're in the Upper Arcana."
"You're going to the Upper Arcana with me? No, no way." Qin Nan shook his head.
He would be in grave danger going against the South-Heaven Sacred Ground. Qin Nan did not mind it, but he did not want to drag the Princess into it.
Besides, if the Princess stayed with the people of the Lost Herb Garden, it would be easier for her to find more loot.
"Princess..."
Elder Sun was trying to say something, but hesitated when he saw the Princess' gaze.
"If I say I'm going, I will go. Don't you forget, you're mine now."
Princess Miao Miao harrumphed coldly with a hint of begrudging.
Did this Qin Nan forget that she had already slept with him at the Desolated Battleground?
"Err...fine."
Qin Nan burst into a bitter laugh. He pondered for a moment before nodding his head.
He was familiar with the Princess' character. Whenever she made up her mind, no one would be able to change it.
"That sounds more like it."
Princess Miao Miao's expression changed instantly. Her grim look was replaced by a blossoming smile, which made the surroundings look brighter and more beautiful.
Meanwhile, three formidable auras appeared in the air out of nowhere.
The group raised their heads and saw a blue giant sword flying toward the white entrance at a shocking pace.
On the giant sword, two formidable monarch auras were thoroughly displayed.
On top of that, there were over twenty peak Martial Progenitor Realm auras too.
The giant sword was followed by a huge seven-colored lotus and a pitch-black vessel. Both were emitting monarch auras and over ten peak Martial Progenitor Realm auras.
"The Three Great Factions are here!"
Elder Sun's eyes flickered.
The giant sword, the lotus, and the black vessel represented the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, the Jade-Lake Sacred Ground, and the Martial Principle Sect respectively.
"The South-Heaven Sacred Ground, huh?"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with a hint of murderous intent.
"Cultivator Qin Nan, I hope you understand that no matter what is going to happen in the Upper Arcana, I don't wish to see the Princess hurt. Otherwise..."
Elder Sun glanced at Qin Nan and transmitted his voice. The imperious gaze penetrated right into Qin Nan's soul.
"Elder Sun, don't worry. Even with my life at stake, I would not let anyone harm the Princess."
Qin Nan said with a firm expression.
Elder Sun nodded slightly hearing Qin Nan's response. Even though Qin Nan had yet to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, thus he had no use to the Lost Herb Garden, he did admire the attitude he showed.
"Qin Nan Nan, let's go."
The Princess urged with excitement.
She could not remember when the last time she had gone on an adventure with Qin Nan was.
"Got it."
Qin Nan nodded. With a kick, their figures turned into two rays of light and entered the white entrance after activating the Seven Slaughter Talismans.
"Sigh, let it be. As long as the Princess is happy now, since she won't be the same anymore when the time comes..."
Elder Sun let out a sigh while watching the two figures disappearing into the distance.
He realized that he was feeling quite down, thus he continued to torture Huo Dun and his crew using different methods.
Time gradually passed. A few moments later...
Following two ‘whooshes’, Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao landed at an unfamiliar place.
The moment they landed, Qin Nan quickly scanned the surroundings with his left eye of the Divine God of Battle.
The Upper Arcana was completely different from the Lower Arcana. The vast land had gone through endless battles, leaving countless marks and ravines. Even until now, the aura of the battles still lingered in the air.
This was a real battleground.
"Qin Nan, I found this map at the Lost Herb Garden. It has a marking on it. We might find some Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits there."
Princess Miao Miao waved her hand and took out a piece of an ancient map with a complacent expression.
"Mm, let's check it out."
Qin Nan transformed into his own appearance. The two proceeded to the location marked on the map.
However, little did Qin Nan know that the Heavenly Fortune Mountain Range of the half-God region...
"Phew...phew… Big Sister, aren't we there yet?"
The two hounds said while panting heavily.
They had been hastening on their journey for two days straight without resting. They could feel themselves dying from the fatigue.
"We're here. Look."
Skeleton Xiao Hong halted in her tracks.
The two hounds and the Heavenly Fortune Mouse raised their heads. They could see a giant white door on the peak of the mountain nearby.
"Huh, doesn't this door look somewhat familiar?"
The two hounds were puzzled.
"Squeak."
The Heavenly Fortune Mouse nodded in agreement.
The flames in Skeleton Xiao Hong's eyes flickered upon hearing this.
If she wasn’t mistaken, they might be able to enter that place from here...
