Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

"What are you doing—!!"

Ning Zhexian was full of surprise and was about to struggle down when her vision blurred again. When she turned around again, she was already standing in front of Su Liang's back.

The two plump mounds beneath him were being held tightly by a pair of large hands, while the snow-capped peaks in front of him were pressing against his back.

This made Ning Zhexian's cheeks burn, which was quite uncomfortable.

She was about to reprimand Su Liang for his behavior,

"Don't move around recklessly. Even if you're trying to be brave, be careful to stay still."

That's enough.

"Especially given your current physical condition, you'll only delay our progress, so this is the most appropriate choice!"

The reasoned and well-founded analysis left Ning Zhexian speechless.

Just as Su Liang perceived her, in a sense, someone as meticulous as her should do the opposite.

If you're told you're no good, you'll become even more docile and obedient, because you're a person who prioritizes reason!

That's right, it would be even better if Su Liang's hands could be a little more obedient when he's speaking.

Just now, as if to emphasize his tone, he raised his hand and patted another snow-capped peak of Ning Zhexian.

Ning Zhexian, who was initially analyzing Su Liang's words, suddenly felt a strange sensation coming from below, as if an electric current was striking her body, and she became numb and weak in the blink of an eye.

In the end, let alone refute him, he could only lie limply on Su Liang's body in sorrow.

Her face was flushed, and the color spread all the way to her ears.

This is yet another humiliation!

How dare you treat me like this!?

After that, unable to move for the time being, Ning Zhexian had no choice but to be carried on Su Liang's back for the journey.

Compared to her previous stubbornness and inability to move easily, this method significantly increased her speed.

For Su Liang, who had recovered from his injuries, carrying such a graceful fairy on his back was almost effortless.

to the end.

Ning Zhexian had no choice but to accept it, but he still put on a final act of resistance.

"I've figured it out, you're the kind of person who loves to push your luck."

"We absolutely cannot give you any chance, otherwise you will definitely take advantage of us."

(Someone actually argued with Pineapple Bun about the protagonist's decisiveness in killing, saying it's not their way of thinking, so there's nothing to say. There was also someone who clicked on ten pages in the first chapter and wrote over a hundred comments; I thought the system had crashed.)

In short, it's the fifth day before the book goes live. I've been updating daily lately, and since I have a lot of drafts saved up, I'll post more. Please understand and bear with me; you'll be able to enjoy it to your heart's content on Friday night.

Chapter Ninety: Phoenix Blocks the Way, A Race Against Time

"Is there?"

Su Liang felt the fragrant warmth on his ear, paused for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

After her reminder, it seems that it really is true.

Looking back on his encounters with Jun Hongyan, it was precisely under the empress's indulgence that he went from initially treating her with respect to making a bold move before their parting.

The transformation process took less than half a month.

How did things suddenly turn out like this? Could it be that I'm inherently a wild person?

Thinking of this, another strange idea began to creep into Su Liang's mind.

"I wonder how this place compares to my own empress?"

Feeling the soft elasticity in his palm, he couldn't help but compare the two strong women with completely different styles.

I wonder what Ning Zhexian would think if he knew what he was thinking at this moment.

It seems they're going to die together!

Neither of them spoke for the rest of the journey; the atmosphere was silent, yet warm.

Su Liang carried Ning Zhexian on his back, walking slowly forward. Ning Zhexian let him carry her, her face casually nestled against his back.

Perhaps it's not so bad if this road has no end.

But both Ning Zhexian and Su Liang were well aware of what awaited them ahead.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

The calm before the storm is always exceptionally quiet.

As the safe zone of Yunmeng Daze drew closer, their breathing became heavier and heavier, and Su Liang's steps slowed down.

at last,

After crossing another patch of woodland, Su Liang did not continue forward.

Ning Zhexian also consciously jumped off Su Liang's back and looked up at the front.

"As expected... they still refuse to give up."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of phoenix eyes that had been waiting there for a long time coldly fell on Ning Zhexian and Su Liang.

A gust of wind made the desolation even more desolate.

Under the sun's rays, a dark shadow the size of a palm appeared in the distant sky.

After the dark figure appeared, a phoenix cry resounded across the wilderness.

At the same time, a powerful pressure arrived that rendered Su Liang and Ning Zhexian utterly powerless to resist.

However, they still looked up and gazed at the spot above.

The shadow gradually grew larger, and it grew larger very quickly.

From the moment Su Liang and Ning Zhexian looked at it until it was fully revealed, it only took a few fleeting moments. (Monthly membership group 694936135).

That was a phoenix from the forbidden area of ​​Yunmeng Great Swamp, and one of the most powerful divine beasts in the entire swamp.

When the phoenix appeared above the two of them, a wave of heat rolled in.

His unparalleled aura was so overwhelming that even the grass and trees in the wilderness dared not look him in the eye.

Su Liang was still staring in the direction of the phoenix, but his fists were clenched and his breathing was rapid.

Standing behind him, Ning Zhexian seemed to have anticipated everything that was about to happen, and showed no surprise whatsoever.

As for leaving now... not to mention now, even before, Su Liang couldn't take another step forward, because the phoenix's pressure was overwhelming him.

It already takes a tremendous amount of energy for him to maintain eye contact with the phoenix.

The phoenix narrowed its eyes slightly, its voice filled with majesty, as if it came from the heavens, or like the rolling tides of the sky, connecting heaven and earth.

"You can leave, but she must stay."

The phoenix's majestic voice resounded throughout heaven and earth.

The sound was deafening, and Su Liang and Ning Zhexian heard it very clearly, especially the latter.

Ning Zhexian was perfectly aware of the other party's purpose.

She stole the phoenix's rebirth feathers; her only target from beginning to end was her!

But Su Liang was unaware of this, nor did he care. He firmly gripped the Broken Army Spear in his hand and asked calmly,

"What's the reason?"

"To blaspheme a divine beast is an unforgivable sin!"

"And you, I sense a familiar aura emanating from you."

Phoenix did not explain what that aura was, but its gaze had already passed over Su Liang and landed on Ning Zhexian's location.

Even though Phoenix didn't explain it clearly, Su Liang had already guessed a thing or two.

The only familiar aura he possessed that could be felt by the strange beasts of the Yunmeng Great Swamp was a wisp of Yunze Earth Fire.

So, should we run away?

Su Liang felt the jade palm gradually loosen from his hand, and almost without hesitation, he grabbed it back.

A man's impulse often happens in an instant.

But as his famous saying goes, there are some things that you know are impossible but you still have to do!

Su Liang took two slow but firm steps forward, pointed to the sky with his sword, and said loudly.

What if I don't want to leave?

The phoenix floated above the wilderness. After Su Liang's words, she was forced to turn her gaze back to Su Liang, and the meaning in her eyes was very clear.

Immediately, Su Liang revealed all his trump cards without reservation.

In Chapter Two, with the blessing of gods and demons, the Eye of the Universe began searching for the phoenix's weaknesses. The Martial Slaying Array appeared beneath Su Liang's feet, followed by faint golden light floating around his body.

Su Liang, who was previously completely overwhelmed by the phoenix's pressure, now has the ability to barely resist it.

He straightened his body and looked at the phoenix, this time with a hint of confidence in his eyes.

However, the enemy standing opposite him was a phoenix in the forbidden zone of Yunmeng Great Swamp. How could it be intimidated by Su Liang's aura?

It raised its head and let out a phoenix cry in the sky, its sharp eyes completely locking onto Su Liang.

Its eyes were extremely confident. The boy in front of it was too weak. To think that it could hurt him was nothing short of a pipe dream.

Even the phoenix's eyes revealed a hint of provocation, as if indicating that Su Liang could come at will.

Let it test what this host, recognized by Yunze Earth Fire, really has!

The next moment, without hesitation, Su Liang swung the Broken Army Spear in his hand, condensed a surge of spiritual energy, and blasted it towards the location of the phoenix.

Behind the imposing spiritual energy was Su Liang's body, which never stopped moving.

The phoenix's gaze remained unchanged. It merely raised its head slightly, and with the sheer force emanating from its eyes, it tore the spiritual energy released by Su Liang to shreds.

But even after that spiritual energy, Su Liang, wielding the Broken Army Spear, continued his advance.

The phoenix showed no concern, casually raising its wings to give the human boy a small warning.

but!
