Chapter 152: That Stupid Donkey, Could He Be the Chosen One?

A pale fist smashed toward Chen Ansheng’s face.

But before it could hit him, Zhong Li felt an instant loss of all her strength.

With her body going limp, she was pulled forward by the force of the punch and ended up collapsing onto Chen Ansheng.

“Wow, Senior Sister! You’re being serious!”

Feeling the delicate softness, Chen Ansheng instinctively reached out to embrace her.

Zhong Li could only hook her chin over Chen Ansheng’s shoulder, looking as though she wanted to cry but had no tears.

“I don’t know what sins I committed in my past life to end up in the hands of this stupid donkey. Sigh, I guess I have to accept my fate.”

Zhong Li sighed inwardly. Given the circumstances, resisting would only make things worse, so she thought, let it be, I’ll just go along with it!

With no burdens in her heart, Zhong Li suddenly felt extremely relaxed.

“Speaking of which, after so many years of hard training, I wonder what it’s like to have a Dao partner?”

When this thought emerged, Zhong Li involuntarily felt a tingle throughout her body, her face turned red and hot.

Sensing that alluring fragrance, Chen Ansheng couldn’t help but want to reach out and touch.

“If I go too far, will the Demoness fight me?”

Just as his hand moved a little higher, Chen Ansheng stopped.

He thought and then hesitated.

This feeling was rather peculiar.

It was different from being with Qing’er and Mu Wan and the other maids.

Who knew that at this moment of hesitation, Zhong Li regained most of her strength.

She shook her head, her long black hair swaying in front of Chen Ansheng.

“Damn it, how could I have that kind of thought? I can’t let this stupid donkey take advantage of me!”

With her strength back, Zhong Li immediately dispelled the idea of resignation.

She gathered her strength and bounced off Chen Ansheng.

“Hey…”

Chen Ansheng reached out to grab her but ended up catching nothing.

Zhong Li floated down three zhang away, her beautiful face slightly flushed. Whether from anger or something else, her breathing was uneven, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

“Grand Young Master Chen, are you comfortable now? Are you satisfied?”

After staring at each other for a moment, Zhong Li finally spoke bitterly.

“Hehe.” Chen Ansheng grinned, saying, “Senior Sister, when did you become so generous? Honestly, it’s very fragrant and I’m quite satisfied. But if you could be a little more generous…”

“Shut your mouth!” Zhong Li glared at him and said, “Look at your feet! If you’re not afraid of dying, keep causing trouble. I’m indifferent to it anyway.”

Chen Ansheng was taken aback and immediately looked at his feet.

The moment he did, he felt a chill run down his spine as he saw countless small blood veins crawling up to his ankles, wriggling incessantly.

Instinctively, Chen Ansheng wanted to summon his sword intent to cut those veins away.

It suddenly dawned on him that this was an Alien World, and without any immortal power within him, he naturally couldn’t use sword intent.

Helpless, he could only summon his immortal sword to slash at the continuously crawling blood veins.

But no matter how many he cut, new veins kept appearing, and in just a few breaths, those veins had already crawled up to his calves.

“How come you’re fine?”

Seeing more and more veins crawling up, Chen Ansheng raised his head and cast a desperate look at Zhong Li.

Zhong Li, however, crossed her arms and swayed her body proudly, “I had preparations before coming here. Who’s like you, so foolish you didn’t grasp the situation and dared to follow someone? It’s a miracle you haven’t been harmed, heaven must be blind.”

Chen Ansheng’s expression darkened, “Stop being sarcastic. You’re relying on your sect too.”

Zhong Li turned her face away and said, “Yes, I have my sect backing me. Didn’t some people say there’s an invincible Master behind them?”

Chen Ansheng awkwardly replied, “You should have a clear conscience. Back then, when your half-human half-ghost senior brother wanted to kill you, I was the one who braved the danger to stand up for you. I put myself at such risk just to save you, and you think I’m doing this for nothing!”

Zhong Li turned back, eyeing Chen Ansheng suspiciously, “Really? Don’t try to fool me with this. You’re just a stupid donkey, more afraid of death than anyone else. I’m not buying it!”

Chen Ansheng rolled his eyes at her, “Whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter; I know in my heart I did nothing wrong. Stop dragging this out and help me get these things off!”

Zhong Li narrowed her eyes, still contemplating whether that stupid donkey truly stood up for her against her senior brother back then.

“That stupid donkey is just talking nonsense. Zhong Li, how can you trust him?”

After pondering for a moment, a voice in her heart softly warned her.

Zhong Li huffed, then looked back at Chen Ansheng and said, “You’re really lackadaisical. Try to feel the aura here; is it really my turn to step in?”

Chen Ansheng frowned and began to sense seriously.

“Doesn’t it feel familiar?”

Moments later, Zhong Li spoke again.

Chen Ansheng’s expression relaxed as he realized: “This aura… is very similar to that black monster bird from the Alien World back then!”

Zhong Li clasped her hands together, “Thank heavens, the wooden-headed guy finally got it.

With Zhong Li’s sarcastic yet definitive answer, Chen Ansheng confirmed that this Alien World was indeed connected to the same source as the one that erupted at Ninefold Flower Mountain.

“And then? What does it matter if I know?”

However, Chen Ansheng still didn’t know what to do.

Zhong Li gave Chen Ansheng a thumbs up, saying, “Genius! Don’t you have the spirit liquid from this world? Take it out and use it!”

“Oh, right.”

Chen Ansheng suddenly reacted and quickly took out some spirit liquid.

The liquid dripped one drop at a time, floating in Chen Ansheng’s palm. With a thought, he transformed it into Alien Immortal Spiritual Energy and absorbed it into his body.

“It’s still useless! Look, it’s still crawling on me!”

Chen Ansheng shouted.

“Don’t yell!” Zhong Li snapped, then said, “You haven’t cultivated any energy yet, of course you can’t expel those veins. Relax, I’ll pass you the foundational technique.”

It turned out she wanted to use techniques to condense energy to resist those veins.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier? Who cares about your lousy technique!”

It’s just a technique, right?

I have my own!

As Chen Ansheng focused his thoughts, a technique called “Nine Aperture Opening Technique” appeared in his mind.

This technique was obtained from that metal plate; the last time Chen Ansheng was in the Alien World, he only grasped it slightly but hadn’t seriously cultivated it.

Now, with his spiritual power grown and comprehension greatly improved, and not lacking in spirit liquid, wasn’t it going to be a piece of cake to cultivate it?

He sat cross-legged and immersed himself in cultivation.

After about ten breaths, Zhong Li beside him was completely shocked.

“This stupid donkey, he actually entered the ‘Forget Myself’ state so quickly!”

The Forget Myself cultivation state was extremely rare; even with Zhong Li’s talent, she had only entered it three times over all those years.

“You stupid donkey, not only did you reach the True Immortal realm in just a few days, but even your cultivation aptitude has changed drastically. Could he really be the legendary Chosen One? No way, no way!”

Zhong Li stared at Chen Ansheng, and scenes from their first meeting flashed in her mind.

Back then, he was shy and socially anxious with poor aptitude. How long has it been, and now he seemed like a completely different person.

“Impossible! This guy hasn’t been possessed by some great being, has he?”

Zhong Li was unwilling to believe that Chen Ansheng could actually be the Chosen One, it was too absurd.
