Tuoba San was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses...
“Young Master, this is the palace of our clan's ancestor. The Blood Ant Clan is one of the twelve royal clans in the Void God Realm, so it's not too far from the Void God Temple. There's also the Starlight Clan, the only royal clan. The place closest to the temple belongs to them…”
It was clear that Xiaotian harbored some dissatisfaction with the Starlight Clan, though it wasn't very obvious...
"I guess the range of residence is determined by strength, right? As long as you can embark on the path to heaven, your Blood Ant clan could even live in a temple without any problem..."
Tuoba San understood what he was thinking; this could be considered a promise, but whether he could keep it depended on Xiaotian's subsequent performance...
Xiao Tian smiled slightly, wondering if this fool had understood the hidden meaning in his words...
However, Xiaotian's attitude towards Tuoba San became increasingly proactive. He led Tuoba San into the Blood Ants' territory, and it was only then that Tuoba San realized just how high Xiaotian's status was...
Throughout the entire journey, very few people came to inquire, and even then, only a handful were allowed to pass quickly…
Only after entering the actual residential area did Xiaotian point to a small courtyard and say...
"Young Master, Qiu Man lives here. From now on, it's up to you. I can't help you anymore. Also, according to our agreement, after you enter this courtyard, I will go to the Ancestor immediately to clear me of suspicion..."
Tuoba San nodded. This was something that had been agreed upon beforehand. Once he entered the courtyard, in order to protect Xiaotian, he would report him immediately and clear him of suspicion…
Before entering the courtyard, Tuoba San released a puppet that looked exactly like him, thus plugging the loophole that allowed Xiaotian to bring people in...
As a prodigy of the Blood Ant clan, it's perfectly normal for him to bring back a puppet...
Xiaotian didn't stand on ceremony. After the puppet recognized him as its master, he kept it by his side, and then watched as Tuoba San vanished into thin air...
The Shadow Demon's treasure is quite useful; its defense isn't great, but its stealth ability is absolutely unparalleled in the world…
To give Tuoba San more time, Xiaotian waited a while before turning to leave...
As Tuoba San approached the courtyard, he remained extremely cautious, fearing he might encounter an enemy he couldn't withstand...
As it turned out, his worries were unnecessary. This was already the core area where the Blood Ant Priests lived. Normally, no one would even approach this place. Only Tuoba San dared to challenge the authority of a priest...
Qiu Man sat cross-legged, stabilizing her strength at the first level of the Void Realm, when suddenly she opened her eyes and looked towards the distance not far ahead…
She stared for a long time but found nothing, which puzzled her, because she seemed to have sensed someone approaching her just now…
Tuoba San never expected that his cheap wife's strength had actually reached the first level of the Void Realm, and her senses had become much sharper, actually sensing his arrival...
However, this treasure of the Shadow Demon Clan is truly useful. Once he held his breath and stopped making any movements, even Qiu Man, who was at the first level of the Void Realm, couldn't see Tuoba San's presence with her naked eye...
But just then, Qiu Man felt a throbbing in her stomach, which made her immediately realize that her feeling wasn't an illusion; someone really was coming...
And she already knew who it was, but it was precisely because she knew that she found it hard to believe…
Noticing the change in Qiu Man's expression, Tuoba San realized he had been exposed...
So he simply showed himself, and when their eyes met, their breaths seemed to stop for a moment…
In Qiu Man's original plan, Tuoba San would never appear in her life again, and if the two met again, she would even regard him as an enemy...
But when Tuoba San risked his life to appear before her, the most vulnerable part of her heart was touched, and everything else seemed to become less important...
The most romantic thing in the world isn't romance or beautiful scenery, but having someone willing to risk everything for you...
Tuoba San also experienced new feelings. He had been forced to come here by me, but when he felt that blood connection, a sense of attachment and responsibility arose in his heart...
The two stared at each other for a long time before Tuoba San finally broke the silence and spoke.
"You've been wronged..."
Although it was only five short words, it gave Qiu Man an outlet for the fear and grievances that had been building up inside her for days, and tears welled up uncontrollably...
The moment he was captured by the Blood Ant Priest, he knew he was doomed. Because the child was the chosen one, she might never be free in this lifetime…
She would become an effective means of manipulating the chosen one of destiny, which even made her contemplate ending her life. However, because the child in her womb had not yet been born, she had no choice but to compromise...
Even though her strength had surpassed that of Tuoba San, at this moment, Tuoba San became her true pillar of support...
"You...it's good that you're here..."
Tuoba San didn't know much about relationships between men and women. He stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to do with his hands...
Seeing this, Qiu Man couldn't help but laugh...
Pfft…
Qiu Man's soft laughter shattered the barrier between the two of them...
For the first time, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat ambiguous. They were from two different realms, and anyone who witnessed such a scene would show an expression of disbelief...
Qiu Man couldn't bear to watch any longer. She threw herself into Tuoba San's arms, enjoying his unique masculine scent, which gave her an unprecedented sense of security...
"Qiuman, are you willing to leave with me?"
Tuoba San gently stroked Qiu Man's back, comforting her while also asking this typical straight-man question...
Qiu Man was speechless. Didn't she know that women don't like being asked questions?
While I understand it's out of respect, women still prefer someone a little more assertive...
"You should say: Qiuman, come with me, I'll take you away..."
Qiu Man raised her head and looked at him with affection in her eyes, which made Tuoba San somewhat confused. Wasn't this the same thing?
However, he still obediently said...
"Qiu Man, come with me, I'll take you away..."
Qiu Man nodded; although she didn't speak, her attitude spoke volumes…
boom…
Just then, a powerful aura soared into the sky, instantly enveloping the territory of the Blood Ant clan…
Tuoba San's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected the Blood Ant Priest to arrive so quickly, leaving him no time to escape...
His face was grim as he stared in the direction of the Void God Temple, pondering how to break the deadlock…
