218: All martial arts novels are lies

“I know, I know, but I still need to explain it to you.” Chen Xuan said with a smile.

“Then young hero, please speak, I am listening.” Huang Rong frowned her beautiful brows.

“Actually, it’s like this…” Chen Xuan roughly explained the whole story, but the more he spoke, the more surprised Huang Rong became.

“You mean… I am a fictional character from a storybook, and I’m already dead?” Huang Rong looked disbelieving.

“I didn’t say that, parallel world, do you understand parallel world! It’s just that in my timeline, you don’t exist!” Chen Xuan quickly said.

After all, strictly speaking, Bi Xiao is also a character from the Investiture of the Gods, but now he can summon her, and Bi Xiao’s Soul is still approaching, which already explains most of the problem.

“Parallel world?”

Chen Xuan was helpless and could only explain again.

However, fortunately, Huang Rong was very intelligent, known as the female Zhuge, and Chen Xuan only explained it once, and she completely understood the concept of the Parallel Universe.

“So, I was summoned by you?”

“Uh, you could say that, and it’s not just you; Guo Jing and the others have also come over, but they are not with me.”

“Alright, I understand. Since you have explained it clearly to me, young hero, I will take my leave.” Huang Rong cupped her hands and prepared to depart.

“Uh, this is my Grotto-Heaven. Besides me and my family, there are no other people. No matter where you go, you won’t meet anyone.”

“Alright, young hero, I have already heard your so-called explanation, please don't stop me anymore.” Huang Rong frowned.

One’s perspective determines how one perceives the world. Even Huang Rong, after hearing what Chen Xuan said, was 120% unconvinced.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan could only shake his head helplessly.

If he had more time, he would just put Huang Rong in the Secret Realm and leave her alone, but now, Huang Rong was his person, so it was better to quickly let her Cultivate.

“You, what are you going to do?”

Looking at Chen Xuan approaching step by step, Huang Rong retreated a few steps. She didn't have her Dog-Beating Staff with her, and facing a strong enemy, she felt a bit helpless.

“Nothing, just making you believe me.”

Chen Xuan stepped forward, wrapped an arm around the beautiful woman's slender waist, and directly ascended into the air.

“Ah!!!!”

Huang Rong had never seen such a scene. She was afraid that Chen Xuan wouldn't hold her tightly, so she couldn't help but tightly embrace Chen Xuan.

At an altitude of 500 meters.

“How about it? Do you believe me now?”

“You, how did you do that? Are you an immortal?”

“I am not a god.” Chen Xuan paused: “But to you, I am your god.” He tightened his embrace around the person in his arms and said with a mischievous smile.

Afterward, he ignored Huang Rong’s objections and, amidst her exclamations, directly began to soar through the sky.

“Look, that’s my home over there, and only there is there any sign of human habitation. The rest of the places, besides some Yao Beasts, don’t even have a single person!”

“Alright, alright, I believe you, young hero, put me down!” Huang Rong lightly patted Chen Xuan.

Seeing that she believed him, Chen Xuan did not intend to stay in the air and was about to land. However, he seemed to recall that in a certain comprehensive martial arts novel, a protagonist had used the suspension bridge effect to capture Huang Rong, and he also wanted to give it a try.

“Ah?! What, what are you going to do?”

Chen Xuan directly picked up Huang Rong horizontally and plunged downwards from the sky. As expected, this scared Huang Rong pale. She couldn't help but tightly embrace Chen Xuan and then closed her eyes.

However, the fall she imagined did not happen. Instead, Chen Xuan landed steadily on the ground.

“You!!!” Huang Rong gnashed her teeth in anger. This guy was too wicked!

“Isn’t this getting down quickly? Otherwise, I can’t just throw you down, can I?”

Huang Rong glared at Chen Xuan angrily, then turned her head away, no longer paying attention to Chen Xuan.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan secretly cursed the unreliable suspension bridge effect and could only take a step forward, saying softly, “Alright, alright, I apologize to you. This time it was indeed my fault, and it won’t happen again.”

However, what Chen Xuan didn't know was that Huang Rong's heart was far from calm at this moment.

Especially when she first saw Chen Xuan, she already had an inexplicable good feeling. Now, with this, it made her put on a stern face to disguise herself.

Seeing that Huang Rong still ignored him, Chen Xuan didn't care. As long as she didn't refuse, it meant she had accepted his apology.

“Want to see my home?”

“No need, I don’t want to find unnecessary trouble.”

“Alright, alright, then I’ll take you to another place. I believe you’ll like it there.” Chen Xuan said, wrapping his arm around Huang Rong’s waist again and taking her into the air.

“Hey!!!” Huang Rong exclaimed, but she didn’t struggle, allowing Chen Xuan to carry her into the sky.

She could feel that Chen Xuan had no ill intentions. Now that she couldn't do anything, she would just let him be.

However, just as she was immersed in the novelty of flying in the air, Chen Xuan suddenly stopped and arrived at the peak of a mountain.

“What, is this the place you mentioned?” Huang Rong asked in confusion.

“No, this is just one of them. We’re going there now.” Chen Xuan smiled mysteriously, then picked up Huang Rong again and flew towards another mountain peak.

Huang Rong only felt a blur before her eyes, and the next moment, she arrived at the peak of another mountain.

The scenery here was completely different from before. A sea of flowers swayed in the breeze, and there was a clear lake nearby, with a bamboo forest by the lake.

“Do you like it here?” Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

“Hmm, I like it very much.” Huang Rong nodded slightly. It was her first time seeing such a scenery, which made her unconsciously relax.

Then Chen Xuan waved his hand, and a bamboo house appeared in the bamboo forest, which surprised Huang Rong greatly.

Chen Xuan led Huang Rong into the bamboo forest and arrived in front of the bamboo house.

The bamboo house was not large, but it was quiet and elegant. Although the furnishings inside were simple, they were very exquisite.

“This is?”

“That’s right, you’ll be living here from now on.” Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

Huang Rong was startled and looked at Chen Xuan in confusion: “What do you mean? Are you going to imprison me?”

“That’s not it. I summoned you out, and now you don’t have much self-preservation ability, so it’s better to stay here for now.”

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll sneak away when you’re not paying attention?”

“Didn’t I say? This Grotto-Heaven is mine, you can’t escape.” Chen Xuan smiled faintly: “If you don’t believe me, you can try.”

Seeing Chen Xuan’s confident demeanor, Huang Rong immediately felt a sense of frustration.

In the face of absolute strength, all cleverness was useless. She felt as if she had been completely controlled by Chen Xuan, and no matter how she resisted, she seemed unable to escape Chen Xuan’s grasp.

It seemed like she was just a… concubine he kept outside!
