Chapter 119 My Mother Has a Crush on Him?! A Trembling Spirit Beast

However, Shen Yun was cautious:

'There's no need to activate the Saint Realm aura. If a crisis arises later and the realm doesn't match, I'll have to cover it up. It's better to keep a low profile; it makes me appear more mysterious and powerful!'

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!!

The guards had already fired their arrows.

But they were shocked to discover.

The arrow, still halfway through its flight, suddenly turned back and attacked at an even faster speed!

"Oh no!!"

"An assassin!!!"

puff! ! !

Four arrows pierced the guard's head, drawing out a large amount of blood!

"How is this possible?!" The Ninth Princess's pupils shrank in shock.

These four commanders were sent by the royal family to protect her, and they all possessed the cultivation level of the Transcendent Realm!

They can't even escape now, they'll be killed on the spot?!

Unless there were powerful figures around who suppressed the four people's movements, they couldn't have died so easily!

Seeing Tu Miaoling staring in shock at her back, the Ninth Princess, feeling uneasy, suddenly turned around.

really!

A red-haired man was hovering in the air, looking down at her with indifferent eyes!

The man's appearance was almost otherworldly; he wore a black brocade robe, and his long, blood-red hair added to his already ethereal beauty. His attire, coupled with his otherworldly appearance, only amplified his eerie and chilling aura.

Coupled with the opponent's powerful aura, it gives off an unparalleled domineering presence!

'Damn it! Why didn't this good-for-nothing say he had a powerful backer sooner?!' The Ninth Princess, sweating profusely, quickly clasped her hands in a fist salute:

"The fault lies with this junior today. I will certainly come to apologize to the Lingtian Buddhist Dynasty's royal family in the future!"

The instant kill of four Transcendent Realm experts was something she couldn't possibly resist. She could only use the royal family's name to instill fear before making any further plans.

However, before she could finish speaking, she froze on the spot, and an extreme tearing sensation swept through her body, causing her to swell up!

"No! Ancestor, save me!!!"

The Ninth Princess screamed shrilly, and a dazzling divine soul mark flashed between her brows, illuminating the phantom of an old man in plain clothes.

The old man didn't act immediately because Shen Yun's appearance was too stunning, and his extraordinary aura clearly indicated he was a powerful figure!

"Fellow Daoist," the old man said in a deep voice, "Is this a true Daoist?"

"Why would you bully a junior like that...?!"

"Wordy."

*Smack!*

With a loud bang, the Ninth Princess's body instantly exploded into a bloody mist.

The illusory image of the Buddha Ancestor was also shattered and disappeared into the air.

Releasing them is out of the question; otherwise, how would Shen Yun gain favor with the group?

After doing all this, he finally looked at Tu Miaoling, who was sitting on the ground.

Unlike her dark-skinned younger brother, Tu Miaoling had a sickly white complexion. Perhaps due to excessive excitement, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked more energetic.

Her long red and white dress, adorned with bloodstains, gave her a first impression of being pure, gentle, and harmless.

'He's so strong!' Tu Miaoling looked at the man in front of her with great surprise and suspicion.

Although we don't know the strength of the Ninth Princess's ancestral mark, it can destroy the opponent with a wave of its hand, so it is definitely not an ordinary person!

Suddenly she remembered something and quickly took out the crystal pendant that was clipped to her chest.

Just moments before, after her pendant emitted a faint warmth, this mysterious powerful figure appeared:

'Could it be... that he's been sleeping inside my pendant all this time?!'

This storage pendant was left to her by her mother, who said it would protect her. She initially thought it was just a nice symbol, but who knew it would actually save her life in a crucial moment?!

Seeing Shen Yun approach, Tu Miaoling bowed with gratitude in her hands.

"I apologize for the inconvenience, but I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace!"

[Ding! The affinity of the bound character Tu Miaoling has increased to 65 points.]

'Surpassing the passing grade? Not bad…' Shen Yun, secretly satisfied, nodded slightly and smiled faintly:

"No need for formalities, consider this a return gift for borrowing your necklace to reside in."

Upon hearing this, Tu Miaoling quickly asked, "Senior...do you know my mother?"

But she had never heard her mother mention this.

Moreover, this red-haired man's appearance is absolutely stunning!

Having spent most of her time away from home, she had seen many handsome men, but compared to the one in front of her, he was clearly inferior!

If her mother knew her, she would at least mention it to her, so that she wouldn't be impolite.

'Could it be that my mother has a crush on him?!' The thought made Tu Miaoling feel embarrassed.

To be honest, given this senior's stunning looks and charisma, as well as his exceptional strength, it's not impossible!

But wouldn't that mean her father would be completely cuckolded?

Shen Yun had no idea this girl could think so much, and shook his head:

"I don't recognize it. Back then, I was just inside a spatial stone. It must have been crafted into this necklace over a long period of time."

"So that's how it is..." Tu Miaoling breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, her father wasn't cheated on.

Seeing that it was temporarily safe, Tu Miaoling waved and picked up the wheelchair that had fallen to the ground not far away.

Fortunately, the chair was made of black iron, which was sturdy enough that it did not break.

After using her spiritual energy to lift herself into a seat, she looked at Shen Yun with a reserved expression:

"So, senior, what are your plans for the future?"

For her own selfish reasons, she really wanted this powerful person to stay!

But such a person who has lived for countless years must have his own things to do.

Shen Yun looked at his illusory body and said helplessly:

"I have not yet recovered. If you mind, young friend, I will find another place..."

"Senior, you don't mind!" Tu Miaoling's eyes lit up, and she immediately spoke up.

But then he realized his intentions were quite obvious, so he quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute, his smile full of gratitude:

"Senior saved my life, which is already a great favor! You can stay as long as you wish, it is my good fortune!"

'Higher favorability ratings are so convenient...' Seeing this, Shen Yun didn't need to waste any more words and transformed into a stream of light, entering the necklace:

"Very well, since you and I are destined to meet, you may ask me any questions you may have about cultivation."

"It's done!" Tu Miaoling exclaimed with secret excitement, clutching the necklace tightly in her hand.

Having a powerful person by her side is an incredible opportunity for her!

If she could catch the eye of a senior, it would be like having an extra protector, making her path to immortality smoother.

"Phew!" With a sigh of relief, she pulled open the collar of her shirt and carefully slipped the necklace inside.

But looking at the crescent-shaped pendant embedded within, Tu Miaoling's lowered index finger paused slightly, and she bit her lip, a hint of shyness in her eyes.

'Wouldn't the senior have seen everything...?'

However, she thought again, "With such a powerful and handsome senior, what woman hasn't he met?"

After figuring it out, Tu Miaoling felt it was nothing.

After inserting the pendant, she maneuvered her wheelchair to the four corpses and removed their storage rings.

All four were Buddhist guards at the Transcendent Realm, which was a great gain for her.

"Squeak squeak squeak~!!"

Seeing the treasure-hunting rat trapped beneath the corpse, Tu Miaoling waved her hand, releasing a wisp of spiritual energy to retrieve the pet pouch and summon it into her hand, her gaze deep and unfathomable.

"The Miraculous Rat..."

These agile rats are extremely rare and possess an exceptionally keen ability to detect treasures.

'But if we leave it here and it gets taken away, it might expose our clan's secret treasure, the Soul Lamp...' Tu Miaoling subconsciously grabbed the Treasure Rat by the neck, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.

But then she smiled and, quite unusually, teased the spirit mouse:

"What a wonderful person! You've met a wise master!"

The predecessors in the necklace were unaware that the Tu Tian clan possessed the secret treasure, the Soul Lamp.

If she were to kill this treasure without any reason, people might think she lacked foresight and vision.

'It would be bad if it affected how my seniors viewed me...' With a gleeful smile, Tu Miaoling stuffed the trembling treasure rat into her bag and quickly drove away from this troublesome place.

She planned to spare the little mouse's life for now, and deal with it later when she found a suitable reason!
