Plop!
Plop!
"Damn it, the Zhou family is so unreliable. What kind of crappy place did they teleport us to?"
"Da Huang, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Hey, this water is warm? Feels so nice."
Hmm...
After saying this, Da Huang suddenly felt something was off. He glanced at Chen Chang'an and noticed his expression was equally priceless.
Oh no!
A sense of dread washed over Da Huang. He silently submerged himself in the water, leaving only his eyes exposed as he scanned the surroundings.
This was a hot spring. And currently, both in and around the spring, dozens of stunningly beautiful women were glaring at Chen Chang'an with fury in their eyes.
Holy crap!
This...
This is intense!
"Uh..."
"Heh, this is awkward."
"How about... you all put your clothes on first before we talk?" Chen Chang'an scratched his nose sheepishly.
"Pervert!"
"Shameless bastard!"
"Close your eyes!"
Gotta say, the Ancient Immortal Realm lives up to its name. The women here are all drop-dead gorgeous!
Looking around, not a single one of these dozens of women was even slightly plain. This was way too exciting!
But damn, they dressed fast. In the blink of an eye, they were fully clothed.
"Tch!"
Da Huang sighed in disappointment from the water. Too quick—didn’t get to see anything properly.
"Kill him!"
"Da Huang, stop gawking and run!"
Chen Chang'an never expected that his first real stop in the Ancient Immortal Realm would be a women's bathing pool.
And now, dozens of powerful female cultivators were radiating murderous intent toward him!
"Damn, it's been ages since I’ve been in a situation like this."
"When was the last time we got chased like this?" Da Huang asked excitedly as they ran.
"How the hell should I remember?"
"Stop yapping. If they catch you, they’ll turn you into stew," Chen Chang'an snapped.
"Trying to run?"
"Dream on!"
"Form the array!"
A cold voice rang out. A breathtakingly beautiful woman in a flowing pink dress descended from above, blocking Chen Chang'an’s path.
Under her command, the pursuers swiftly formed a formation.
Within moments, a powerful barrier trapped Chen Chang'an and Da Huang inside.
"Eldest Senior Sister, it’s him! He barged into our bathing pool!"
"This lecher has no shame! We can’t let him go!"
"Eldest Senior Sister, you must avenge us!"
This woman was their Eldest Senior Sister. Her presence seemed to rally the group, and they all rushed to her, pouring out their grievances.
The Eldest Senior Sister’s icy gaze fixed on Chen Chang'an. "This is the back mountain of our Huan Hua Immortal Sect. How did you get here?"
Huan Hua Immortal Sect?
That name... sounded vaguely familiar.
"Huan Hua Pavilion? Isn’t that a brothel?" Da Huang blurted out.
The moment those words left his mouth, Chen Chang'an could practically see flames erupting from the women’s eyes.
"Shut up, you idiot!"
"Ahem, fair ladies, please don’t take offense."
"My dog and I just ascended from the lower realm. This was purely an accident—we didn’t mean to land here."
"As for what he just said... well, there was a brothel with that name in the lower realm."
"But I swear, we’re not insulting you."
"Absolutely not," Chen Chang'an explained hastily.
Fresh ascenders? And they just happened to drop into their secluded back mountain?
The Eldest Senior Sister frowned, scrutinizing Chen Chang'an and Da Huang. Judging by their cultivation levels, they did fit the profile of recent ascenders.
But that didn’t necessarily mean they were telling the truth.
"Regardless of your reasons, trespassing into our Huan Hua Immortal Sect and peeping at our disciples bathing is an undeniable fact," the Eldest Senior Sister said coldly.
"Right, right."
"Totally undeniable."
"I won’t deny it. I saw, but it really was an accident."
"Uh..."
Mid-sentence, Chen Chang'an suddenly glared at Da Huang in outrage. "Why the hell are you grabbing my leg?"
"Bro, I’m scared you’ll run."
"This barrier can’t hold you, but it can hold me!"
"If you run, they’ll turn me into stew!"
"You gotta stay with me."
Da Huang was genuinely terrified. This wasn’t the Tai Xuan Realm anymore—in the Ancient Immortal Realm, it had to be more cautious.
Besides, aside from Mu Yunyao, no one knew Chen Chang'an better than Da Huang.
Barriers and formations meant nothing to Chen Chang'an. Knowing him, he’d distract everyone with words one second and bolt the next.
If Da Huang didn’t hold onto him, it’d be left behind.
"Am I the kind of guy who abandons his brothers?" Chen Chang'an fumed.
"Yeah. You are," Da Huang nodded solemnly.
Pfft!
One of the younger disciples couldn’t hold back a laugh but quickly lowered her head, suppressing her amusement.
"It said the barrier can’t hold you?"
"It’s joking! Just joking."
"Oh? Doesn’t look like it. It’s clinging to you like its life depends on it."
Chen Chang'an had indeed planned to escape, but with Da Huang latched onto him, he was stuck. He couldn’t just leave it behind.
"Da Huang, let go."
"We’ve been through life and death together for millennia. Do you really think I’d abandon you here to face this alone?"
"I won’t leave." Chen Chang'an looked at Da Huang with utmost sincerity.
Touched by his earnest expression, Da Huang hesitated, recalling all their shared experiences. Had Chen Chang'an ever truly abandoned it before?
"I knew you were—"
"Da Huang, I’m out. I’ll burn paper money for you next year."
"CHEN CHANG'AN, YOU SON OF A—"
The moment Da Huang loosened its grip, Chen Chang'an slipped through the barrier and vanished.
Da Huang’s eyes burned with fury. This bastard was ditching it right after arriving in the Ancient Immortal Realm?
The bond was broken!
No love left!
It had been betrayed!
Meanwhile, the Eldest Senior Sister and the others were stunned. They never imagined the barrier would fail to contain Chen Chang'an.
Even more shocking—the barrier remained intact, yet he escaped?
How?!
And what kind of shameless person just deserts their companion like that?
Their gazes turned sympathetic as they looked at Da Huang. This was a prime example of why choosing the right partner mattered.
"After him!"
"What about the dog?"
"Forget it. It’s just a dog. Let it go. The real culprit is that bastard Chen Chang'an!"
"Yes!"
