Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1357: Chapter 1370: Spoiling My Wife

The True Word Venerable kept retreating continuously, as if a ferocious beast were approaching.

"Why are you here again?"

"I told you not to come back to me."

Jiang Fan stood outside the secret chamber and said, "I’m just here to say goodbye."

"The Bodhisattva is coming to transcend me; perhaps this is our last time..."

Before he finished speaking.

The stone door immediately opened.

The True Word Venerable’s face showed a trace of urgency: "Are you just going to let him transcend you?"

But then, she realized Jiang Fan didn’t look anxious at all.

Instead, he said with a half-smile, "You’re really worried about me being transcended."

Only then did the True Word Venerable realize that Jiang Fan had purposely provoked her into opening the door.

Embarrassed and angry, she raised her hand to close the stone door, scolding, "You troublemaker, better cut off your desires soon!"

But before the stone door closed, Jiang Fan slipped inside.

His large hand mischievously wrapped around her soft slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.

The True Word Venerable was instantly enveloped in a searing heat.

Her body turned weak and limp, unable to muster any strength.

"Let go of me!" She struggled symbolically twice, then yielded.

Jiang Fan lifted her chin slightly: "Your father was right, you disdain me verbally, but your body is very honest."

The True Word Venerable lightly hit him: "You’re mocking me again!"

"Had I known earlier, I should have learned from other forces and closed off your Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s transmission array as well."

Jiang Fan smiled silently, simply holding the beauty in his arms.

The experiences between him, the True Word Venerable, and the Fairy Yun Shang were somewhat similar.

The difference was that after uniting with Yun Shang, she was as gentle as water.

The True Word Venerable still had a bit of resistance, like a kitten unwilling to be tamed, occasionally using her little claws to scratch him.

"Hey, are you really not worried about the Bodhisattva transcending you?"

"After I received the notification from the White Horse Temple, I sweated a bit for you."

"I’ve been in the Taicang State for so many years, never seen the Bodhisattva leave the White Horse Temple."

"He’s absolutely serious about transcending you!"

Jiang Fan got serious and said, "Do you have confidence in dealing with him?"

He came to find the True Word Venerable, one of the purposes was to discuss dealing with the Bodhisattva’s transcendence.

In the Taicang State, the venerable he trusted most was undoubtedly True Word.

But the True Word Venerable shook her head: "No confidence."

"Back when we ascended to the Heavenly Realm together, he suffered the least injuries, so it’s hard to say what his current strength is."

"But undoubtedly higher than mine and Venerate Xinnie’s."

Jiang Fan slightly nodded.

Previously, a single Buddha’s name from the Bodhisattva left Venerate Xinnie in a state of trance for several breaths.

If it were a direct battle, Venerate Xinnie might have long been dead.

So, the Bodhisattva’s strength is definitely above True Word and Xinnie.

"No matter, if you can stall him for a while, that’s enough."

"As a Venerate of Taicang State, even if you can’t defeat him, he won’t do much to you."

Unexpectedly.

The True Word Venerable’s eyes showed complexity: "I’m afraid I cannot help you."

Oh? The True Word Venerable won’t help him?

Could it be, emotions are not in place?

Jiang Fan chuckled and said, "Let’s talk about it in bed."

The True Word Venerable was momentarily stunned before understanding Jiang Fan’s implication, angrily lifting her foot to stomp on Jiang Fan’s foot, blushing:

"Filthy rascal!"

Shooting a fierce glance at Jiang Fan, she explained the reason: "It’s not that I don’t want to help you, I can’t help!"

"I once promised the Bodhisattva to help him with a matter."

"If I dare to shelter you, he will undoubtedly demand I fulfill my promise, telling me not to meddle, perhaps even requiring me to help capture you."

Jiang Fan frowned deeply.

Confused, he asked, "How did you come to owe such a huge favor?"

An unlimited promise is very burdensome.

Especially for a venerable like the True Word Venerable, who must honor promises, it’s deadly.

If the Bodhisattva asks the True Word Venerable to do something with a nine-deaths-and-one-life chance, whether she does it or not, it’s death.

The True Word Venerable sighed lightly: "What else could it be?"

"I never ask for help in my life, but for Chen Jing, I broke that rule and sought the Bodhisattva’s assistance."

She leaned her forehead on Jiang Fan’s shoulder, feeling tired:

"Chen Jing had once failed in his attempt to become a Divinity Transformation and, in his eagerness to recover, several times fell into a state of loss of mind, being completely unable to cultivate further."

"So, I asked the Bodhisattva to seal his past cultivation memories, making him mistakenly believe it was his first time cultivating."

"That’s how he got back on track."

Jiang Fan suddenly realized.

No wonder that, during dealings with Chen Jing, he couldn’t sense that Chen Jing had the mentality of second-time cultivation.

The True Word Venerable continued: "Later, when he discovered me and you in a misunderstanding on the bed, he was greatly shocked."

"The sealed memories thus unraveled, making him remember the past, and also recall his desires for me, eventually escalating to the current situation."

Jiang Fan fully understood then.

No wonder Chen Jing’s personality changed so drastically, and his cultivation soared in a short time.

It turns out he recovered his past memories.

He gently patted the True Word Venerable’s back, kissing her forehead:

"You sacrificed so much for him, yet he didn’t understand."

"What a hardship for you."

Agreeing to an unrestricted promise to the Bodhisattva was essentially risking her life to reopen a cultivation path for Chen Jing.

Unfortunately, he didn’t cherish it.

The True Word Venerable, for the first time, opened her heart to someone, her heart softened.

Her body followed, softly leaning in Jiang Fan’s embrace, no longer resisting:

"It’s all in the past, it’s not important anymore."

"The current issue is what will you do?"

"Apart from the Great Wine Sacrifice, there’s no one who can protect you from the Bodhisattva’s hands."

"However, the Great Wine Sacrifice follows each state’s law strictly, favoring no one."

"The Bodhisattva wanting to transcend someone is not something prohibited by the Qintian Bureau."

"Therefore, he can’t help you either."

Jiang Fan deeply agreed.

The most typical was the Great Wine Sacrifice of the Great Wilderness State, that wine drunkard.

To balance the Six Great Demon Venerables, she didn’t directly intervene.

Instead, she let the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree control them.

Thus.

The Great Wine Sacrifice also couldn’t help.

And Jiang Wuya, at this moment, was nowhere to be found.

Green Pearl wasn’t suitable to bring along either.

He could only face the Bodhisattva’s transcendence alone.

The True Word Venerable said: "Why don’t you hide in the Outer State for a while?"

Jiang Fan said: "What’s the point of escaping to the Outer State? Can I never return to Taicang State?"

The Bodhisattva is a person from this state, he can completely stay at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, waiting for Jiang Fan to return.

The True Word Venerable lightly furrowed her brows: "Then what can be done?"

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered slightly: "Don’t worry, I have a retreat I can take."

He released the True Word Venerable, taking out a fist-sized crystal filled with holy aura.

It was the Saint Crystal capable of reversing an Ancient Giant.

He cut off a small piece and handed it to the True Word Venerable: "Later, if you encounter the Giant King, try embedding this into him."

"If he’s one of the Asura Clan transformed, it’ll reverse him back to an Asura."

"That way, you might be able to turn danger into safety."

The True Word Venerable was unbelievably delighted.

She had seen Jiang Fan use this object to transform a Three Crowned Asura King back from the state of a Giant King.

Faced with such a transformed Giant King, thanks to this item, she’d have an extra hope of surviving in a dead-end.

"Thank you, Jiang Fan!" The True Word Venerable joyfully accepted it.

Jiang Fan smiled slightly.

This was the second reason he sought out the True Word Venerable.

The True Word Venerable was already his woman, facing the most ferocious Giant King.

Of course, he couldn’t be stingy.

Suddenly, he noticed a Spirit Pond inside the room.

There were nine fish radiating Spirit Light from their bodies inside.

Jiang Fan paused and murmured, "These fish look strangely familiar."
