Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1873: Chapter 1915: Putting on the Necklace Personally

After understanding everything, Jiang Fan thought of Ye Banxia, this fellow suspected to be an Outer Heaven Demon.

She’s quite similar to Xia Chaoge, probably also a seeker arranged by some world with a wide net.

As for Xia Chaoge, Jiang Fan certainly wouldn’t harm her.

Such a wonderful disciple, he would fear she’d melt even if he kept her in his mouth; how could he bear to harm her?

But Ye Banxia, he needed to think about how to properly deal with this woman.

At this moment, Xia Chaoge knelt upright, her mind filled with despair, self-mockingly saying:

"Chaoge is a liar; I’ve deceived uncle so much, and uncle can’t tolerate me anymore."

"Given our uncle-discipleship, Chaoge wants to ask you for one last thing."

Jiang Fan smiled gently: "Speak."

Xia Chaoge was overwhelmed with sorrow, tears sliding down her cheeks, saying bitterly:

"Can you ask someone else to deal with me?"

"It doesn’t matter who in Central Earth kills me."

"Except if you do it, uncle; it would hurt."

Jiang Fan said faintly: "No!"

"I will do it personally!"

He spoke, then stood up and approached Xia Chaoge.

Xia Chaoge’s body trembled slightly, as if a sharp blade were stirring in her heart, causing her pain that made it hard to breathe.

"Uncle..."

She murmured, closing her eyes, folding her hands at her chest, tears pouring down, saying:

"Disciple Xia Chaoge is willing to accept punishment."

"May uncle live the rest of his life in peace."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Well, go peacefully."

Xia Chaoge’s body trembled lightly; she was destined to die by the hand of the one she cared about most.

An inexplicable sadness caused her body to tremble uncontrollably.

Until a pair of strong arms embraced her from behind, lifting her from the ground.

And then took her out of the secret chamber.

"Quickly, go and cultivate in peace; don’t let your mind wander."

As the arms released her, Xia Chaoge sat on the ground with a thud.

She blinked at her tear-filled eyes, a face full of confusion.

Being told to go peacefully, did it mean to go back and cultivate peacefully?

She turned her head and asked: "Uncle, you... you’re not killing me?"

Jiang Fan stood at the secret chamber door, a smile on his face: "Why would I kill you?"

"You haven’t harmed Central Earth and you care for your uncle so much; if I killed you, heavens would strike me dead."

Xia Chaoge’s mind went blank, dazedly asked: "Then... why didn’t uncle say earlier?"

Jiang Fan smiled: "If I didn’t scare you, how would you honestly confess each problem one by one?"

Huh?

Xia Chaoge suddenly sprang up, confirming Jiang Fan genuinely didn’t intend to kill her, nor did he have a worse impression of her, her dim crystal eyes suddenly gleamed like stars.

The dark world reemerged colorful and vibrant.

She felt as if she had suddenly soared from a choking abyss into the sky, feeling unprecedented ease and joy.

"That’s great, so great!" Although Xia Chaoge often remained calm and composed, at this moment she couldn’t help but spin in place.

The blue long skirt fluttered in the wind, her black hair gently waved, looking like a blue butterfly dancing.

Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Alright, go back and cultivate; I need to close my retreat too."

Xia Chaoge just then came to her senses.

Feeling the cracked and stinging skin on her face from crying, she couldn’t help but feel resentful.

Her mouth slightly pouting, glaring at Jiang Fan in annoyance:

"I cried till I was scared, you didn’t feel sorry for me, just kept watching my joke!"

It was the first time Jiang Fan saw Xia Chaoge in such a resentful appearance, he couldn’t help but laugh.

All along, he thought she was just a girl either quiet or smiling at him.

Turns out she also had an angry side.

Xia Chaoge got even angrier, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

She truly felt at that time that the sky had fallen, the world had collapsed, and uncle still managed to laugh!

She rushed up, clenched her pink fist, and punched him in the chest: "You bad uncle!"

"I’ll never want to care about you again!"

"I hate you the most!"

Jiang Fan’s Divinity Transformation body, not afraid of a Nascent Soul Realm punch, said: "Punch as you like, once you’re done, quickly go and cultivate."

This nonchalant attitude made Xia Chaoge bite her red lip slightly, feeling angry yet helpless against him.

Suddenly, she recalled the Divine Blessing Necklace Jiang Fan had brought back from the Ancient Wilderness Hunting Ground, feeling a thought of revenge against Jiang Fan.

She took out the necklace, her eyes bright: "Uncle, do you know what this necklace is for?"

Jiang Fan recognized it at once as something scavenged from Yun Wanxiao’s storage device, since it was an Angel Clan item, naturally given to Xia Chaoge.

As for the necklace’s purpose, wasn’t it just to enhance some Angel Power?

He had researched it; apart from that, there seemed to be no special effect.

Jiang Fan said: "An accessory to wear, why?"

Xia Chaoge gazed at Jiang Fan, slightly biting her red lip, decisively saying:

"Nothing really."

"I want uncle to personally put it on me, as your compensation to me, no problem, right?"

What could be the problem?

Without thinking twice, Jiang Fan took the necklace and put it on Xia Chaoge’s neck, securing it, said:

"Alright then, you look quite pretty wearing it."

Xia Chaoge turned her back to him, saying nothing.

Jiang Fan turned her around, surprised to find Xia Chaoge’s face flushed with redness, her crystal eyes shyly filled with moisture, her fingers tightly intertwining together.

Her heart was pounding wildly.

She appeared exceedingly nervous.

"What’s wrong with you?" Jiang Fan asked, confused.

Xia Chaoge’s lips trembled: "Nothing... nothing... Chaoge will leave first!"

Inside, Xia Chaoge thought: "Foolish uncle!"

"When you someday realize that Divine Blessing Necklace is for proposing, I’ll see if you want to find a crack to hide in!"

"Humph, an uncle proposing to a disciple, no matter how thick-skinned you are, you should be ashamed to the point of being too embarrassed to show your face, right?"

"For bullying me, for bullying me!"

"Though... would it not become true pretend during?"

Jiang Fan felt speechlessly puzzled, why did it seem he still didn’t understand Xia Chaoge even after interrogating her?

Shaking his head, he went back to the secret chamber and suddenly discovered Xia Chaoge’s Jade Pendant had fallen to the ground, quickly picked it up.

Unexpectedly, the moment his palm touched it.

The Jade Pendant actually emitted a green glow.

At this time, Xia Chaoge also noticed the missing jade pendant and returned.

"Oh, uncle, why does it glow when you hold the jade pendant?" Xia Chaoge felt a bit puzzled.

She had worn it for so many years, and it had never glowed.

Jiang Fan frowned, returning the Jade Pendant to Xia Chaoge, yet when she held it, it truly returned to normal.

But when Jiang Fan took it back, it started glowing again.

"Could uncle have something on him that triggers a reaction?" Xia Chaoge asked.

Jiang Fan’s expression became solemn, quickly returning the Jade Pendant to him, heartbeat slightly accelerating.

Could this Jade Pendant possibly sense the Void Ancient Tree?

He said nonchalantly: "I have many magical treasures; maybe one of them shares the energy source."

Xia Chaoge also thought so; Jiang Fan’s magical treasures seemed countless indeed.

She shrugged it off, saying: "That’s all, disciple takes leave."

She wore the Jade Pendant, then left the secret chamber.

Feeling in high spirits as she returned to her own secret chamber, suddenly she stopped sharply, sensing something out on the horizon in particular.

A tranquil face gleamed with a touch of surprise, but when she turned to look back at Jiang Fan’s secret chamber, it was filled with complexity.
