333: Immortal?

“In the past, I saved Liu Ruyan of the Liu family. She gave me a jade pendant and said that holding it would allow the Liu family to do one thing for me with all their might. Now, I’ve come to fulfill that promise.”

Chu Mo looked directly at Liu Ruyan, proactively stating his purpose.

However, Liu Ruyan hadn't said a word the entire time, her gaze even somewhat dazed.

“Chu Han, my young friend...”

“Hmm?!” Chu Mo shot a sharp glance at him. We’re on the same level, who are you calling a young friend?

“Fellow Daoist Chu, Fellow Daoist Chu.” The Liu family head quickly corrected himself and explained the reason, “My aunt is in this dazed state because she exhausted everything and damaged her Primordial Spirit. However, Princess Nanfeng has already informed me about the promise my aunt made.

Since Fellow Daoist Chu has come with the jade pendant, you must have something you need my Liu family to do! Rest assured, as long as you propose it, my Liu family will do its utmost to accomplish it for you.”

As soon as his voice fell.

A familiar voice came from outside the room.

“Chu Han! Chu Han! You’re in the Imperial Capital, why didn’t you come to find me? Did you forget about me?!”

Chu Mo suddenly looked at the Liu family head. Good fellow, he actually revealed my whereabouts.

Noticing Chu Mo’s murderous gaze, the Liu family head gave an awkward smile: “Princess Nanfeng often talks about Fellow Daoist Chu Han, so I took the liberty of telling her that you were here.”

Took the liberty, what a good ‘took the liberty’!

Enough said, this Liu family is courting death!

“Originally, I came to the Liu family to target Princess Nanfeng, but now it seems the Liu family and Princess Nanfeng have an unusually close relationship. Even if I say Princess Nanfeng was possessed by an Outer Realm Demonic Devil, it probably won’t have any significant effect. Forget it, I’ll plan for the long term,” Chu Mo mused inwardly.

The plan was disrupted, but not completely ruined.

“Brother Chu Han, you came to the Imperial Capital alone, why didn’t you come to find me? Did you forget about me?” Princess Nanfeng immediately hugged Chu Mo’s arm with no sense of boundaries.

Lü Yang: ??? Am I not human?

At this moment, facing the overly dramatic Princess Nanfeng, Chu Mo really wanted to land a deliberate, powerful punch.

However, compared to the Rising Sun Holy Land, the Great Xia Dynasty could be said to have profound foundations, including not only combat power but also various treasure grounds and Opportunities.

If used well.

Perhaps, he could Undergo Tribulation and achieve Immortal Ascension in this realm.

Suppressing the urge to act, Chu Mo played along.

“Princess Nanfeng, you should also know about my affairs at the Rising Sun Holy Land. In that battle, although I destroyed the Rising Sun Holy Land, the Grand Elder, Holy Lord, and Saint of the Rising Sun Holy Land escaped.

The Grand Elder and Holy Lord of the Rising Sun Holy Land are not to be feared, but the un-grown Saint, Lü Fan, possesses an Exquisite Immortal Bone and extraordinary Aptitude. After the Grand Elder of the Holy Land dies, the Immortal Artifact of the Rising Sun Holy Land will also fall into his hands.

If the Princess gets too close to me, I fear Lü Fan will harm you.”

These words weren't particularly eloquent, but they carried a hint of tenderness.

Relationships require a gradual progression.

One cannot suddenly make a 180-degree turn in attitude; such a change would be obvious to even a fool.

Therefore.

Acting is a profound art.

Beside him, Lü Yang listened, dumbfounded. Is this Chu Ge?

If he didn't know the full situation, he would genuinely believe that Chu Mo had fallen for Princess Nanfeng.

“Three thousand Great Daos, could Brother Chu be proving his Dao through acting?” Lü Yang muttered to himself.

[Chu Han Favorability: -9999+]

Didn't increase at all?

Is it still like this because the System is updating?

Princess Nanfeng was puzzled, but Chu Mo’s attitude towards her now made her somewhat unable to grasp his intentions.

This clearly showed some Favorability.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be thinking of her.

So, the System was wrong.

However, she couldn't appear too eager. These Children of Destiny love the thrill of conquest, especially Transmigrated Children of Destiny, who always dream of wielding power over the world and being surrounded by beauties.

Appropriately increasing the difficulty of pursuit while giving a visible glimmer of hope—this was the correct approach.

Princess Nanfeng stomped her foot, twisted her body, hugged her two rounded assets with both hands, and said coquettishly, “Chu Han, do you not consider me a good friend? Between us, do you need to worry about such things?

Besides, don't forget, I am the most beloved Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on me will face the Great Xia Dynasty’s thunderous retaliation.”

After saying this, she began to ponder the Saint of the Rising Sun Holy Land that Chu Mo mentioned.

To escape from the hands of a Heaven's Chosen with Imperial Luck, he was either a side character destined to be redeemed or the final major villain.

And judging by their current relationship, it was absolutely a fight to the death, so the situation was already clear.

Lü Fan was the final villain.

“As long as Luck reaches a certain level, the Favorability System will acknowledge it. As the final villain, Lü Fan should also be acknowledged by the System, so if I max out Lü Fan’s Favorability, the rewards I get shouldn’t be low.” Princess Nanfeng’s idea was simple: max out both Chu Mo’s and Lü Fan’s Favorability.

This way, she would not only receive extremely high rewards but also gain the adoration of both the righteous and villainous bigwigs.

At that time, the drama of an Immortal Venerable and a Demonic Venerable falling in love with the same person would unfold.

“This is amazing!” Princess Nanfeng once again immersed herself in her fantasies.

Behind Princess Nanfeng, Chu Mo’s eyes flickered.

“Perhaps, it’s better to just kill her. Opportunities can be found later, and even if the Great Xia Dynasty issues a bounty, there are other Imperial Dynasties to hide in. But leaving such a menace alive, I fear I won’t have peace in the future.”

At this moment, what Princess Nanfeng didn’t notice was that the virtual Favorability panel in front of her had turned blood red.

Favorability -999.

Favorability -999.

Scarlet red notifications kept popping up.

Chu Mo’s killing intent was vast and pure.

Boom!

Just as Chu Mo was about to act and eliminate Princess Nanfeng, a portal appeared in the sky.

A myriad of colorful lights, various auspicious phenomena unfolded.

A golden staircase extended downwards from above, reaching directly to the Great Xia Imperial Palace.

Immediately after.

An immense pressure appeared, rumbling and shaking, terrifying to the extreme, making even Souls tremble.

Chu Mo felt as if he was carrying a massive mountain, threatening to bend his spine and force him to his knees.

Lü Yang was in the same situation. To prevent himself from kneeling, a long sword appeared in his hand, propped against the ground.

But that pressure was truly too terrifying.

It pressed him down towards the ground.

“Is it... an Immortal?!” Black runes surged around Chu Mo, converging into a flame emblem on his chest, unnoticed by anyone.

Lü Yang, on the other hand, suddenly felt his body lighten, and he gradually straightened his back.

The people of the Liu family, however, were not so lucky; every single one of them was pressed to their knees.

Even the Liu family head, a Peak Undergoing Tribulation cultivator, was no exception.

Immortal and mortal, separated by a chasm.

Beyond human ability to cross.

Lü Yang walked to Chu Mo’s side and whispered, “Brother Chu, what is that figure on the golden staircase...”

“An Immortal!”
