280: Chapter 280 What's so delicious? It smells amazing!

Mice?

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xue Lianyue couldn't help but feel a look of shock on her pretty face.

That was a dignified expert of the Martial Emperor Realm.

Yet in Jiang Chen's mouth, they had been reduced to the level of a mouse.

If anyone else had said this, Xue Lianyue would only think they were bragging, but if it was Jiang Chen...

"These mice are naturally no match for Lord Jiang,"

Xue Lianyue said very seriously.

The atmosphere in the room became slightly subtle.

Xue Lianyue had just rushed all the way here without a single pause.

Coupled with the high temperature in the entire forest before the rain,

even an expert of the Earth Martial Realm couldn't help but break into a slight sweat at this time.

For a moment, a faint fragrance wafted through the air.

Jiang Chen's nose twitched.

"Hmm? Did Lord Xue bring something delicious? Why does it smell so good?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"Fragrant?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xue Lianyue immediately looked around blankly; she hadn't brought anything with her.

She had been in such a hurry coming and going; how could she have had time to bring food?

When she heard the fragrance Jiang Chen mentioned,

Xue Lianyue suddenly remembered.

It was the scent of her own body.

Her younger sister had mentioned that whenever her body came into contact with water, it would emit a faint fragrance.

Therefore, Xue Lianyue always tried her best to keep her body dry.

After all, in certain important occasions, such a fragrance would be too conspicuous.

Xue Lianyue's cheeks instantly turned slightly red.

"Lord Jiang misunderstands... this fragrance isn't food... it's from my..."

Xue Lianyue said with her head lowered.

"Lord Xue, I haven't misunderstood."

"What I'm talking about... is you."

Jiang Chen walked slowly to Xue Lianyue's side.

Compared to her younger sister Xue Lianxing, Xue Lianyue had a fuller figure, and because she practiced Formations, she appeared more intellectual, soft, and fragrant.

"Ah...? Lord Jiang..."

Feeling Jiang Chen's approach, Xue Lianyue's heart fluttered wildly.

In Xue Lianyue's eyes, Jiang Chen was already an omnipotent existence, someone she needed to look up to. Even if he required her to offer herself, she would not hesitate. However, as a member of the Vermilion Bird Imperial Guard, this matter would require the consent of Your Majesty.

"Lord Jiang... this... Your Majesty must not know about this..."

Xue Lianyue bit her red lip lightly with her pearly teeth.

At this moment, what she was thinking about was not refusing Jiang Chen, but how to hide it from Your Majesty.

This was truly a crime of great disrespect toward Your Majesty.

"Alright."

Jiang Chen's simple word directly shattered all of Xue Lianyue's defenses.

Or rather, Xue Lianyue had never really set up any defenses against Jiang Chen.

If she had, she wouldn't have been able to say such things in the first place.

Perhaps, after Jiang Chen was finished enjoying himself, she would go to Your Majesty and take the initiative to accept her punishment.

The fine rain fell densely.

It beat against the tent, making a pitter-patter sound.

Two days later.

Jiang Chen entered the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave once more and cleared out the demons within.

However, the enemy killing value he obtained weren't very many.

Obviously, it would be difficult to continue gaining enemy killing value here; he would need a higher-level demon cave.

Or perhaps go and slay some Demon Royalty.

Of course, such things were only a matter of time for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen simply saved the remaining enemy killing value for next time.

Currently, Jiang Chen's combat power was already extremely formidable, so he didn't need to fear much.

But unexpected situations were bound to occur.

Jiang Chen intended to keep the remaining two martial arts scrolls as a trump card, so if he encountered a difficult situation, he would have a hope of breaking through using a martial arts scroll.

During these past few days,

Xue Lianyue had transformed from an innocent maiden into a very sensible, devoted woman.

Because Xue Lianyue didn't know what would happen once she told Your Majesty about her situation, she was currently doing her utmost to serve Jiang Chen.

It had to be said that a Formation Master's comprehension was indeed very strong.

In just a few short days, she had already learned all the moves Jiang Chen knew, and had even researched a few of her own that left Jiang Chen lingering for more.

He hadn't expected that the seemingly quiet and gentle Xue Lianyue

would possess such a wild side once awakened.

"Ding... obtained 5,000,000 cultivation points."

When Jiang Chen completely sealed that Heaven-Grade Demon Cave,

the System rewarded him with another five million cultivation points.

This brought Jiang Chen's Spiritual Cultivation to the level of the Middle Stage of the first level of the Martial King Realm.

To Breakthrough to the second level of the Martial King Realm, he would need a full twenty million cultivation points.

How many demons would he have to kill?

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Cultivating was truly hard work.

"It's about time. Lianyue, let's return to the palace."
