Chapter 2689: A World of Difference in Treatment_1

The remaining ferocious beasts widened their eyes in shock, "This... this is spatial power? We combined our forces and couldn't destroy it, yet our Lord could actually pass directly through the barrier constructed by a God!"

"It's no surprise that our Lord has become so powerful, so much so that even the strongest Ultimate Douluo among humans might not be a match for Him!"

"Tsk, this spatial energy is only one aspect of our Lord's abilities, His strength must be even more formidable. At least, even our leader..."

Di Tian's golden pupils turned cold as he glanced at them, "Hm?"

Without any hesitation, these beasts hurriedly changed their tune...

"How could we say that, although our Lord's strength has improved rapidly, our leader is still our leader, and is definitely second to none!"

"Exactly, exactly, our survival until now is all thanks to our leader, You are irreplaceable in our hearts!"

"I... I take back what I said..."

But who knew, Di Tian was not angered and replied, "No, it's as you said, our Lord's strength has indeed surpassed mine. Though we've never fought directly, but I can clearly discern it!"

Bi Ji showed a skeptical expression, "Di Tian, that's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it? It's true that our Lord is very powerful, but you have reached seven to eight hundred thousand..."

However, when she caught sight of Di Tian's utterly serious gaze, she still forcibly swallowed her words...

Di Tian, he was serious!

Our Lord's strength had unknowingly reached such a level...

Yet, Di Tian added again, "Although that's the case, if our Lord wishes to break through to become a God, He will definitely be hindered by those fellows in the Divine Realm, it's going to be fraught with difficulties..."

The avatar of the Dragon God that had fled to the Lower Realm would certainly not allow its return to the Divine Realm!

Bi Ji couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed... this is also a trial that we, as ferocious beasts, must overcome!"

In principle, Di Tian already had the qualifications to break through to God Rank, but he had been unable to make any further progress!

This was precisely the intention of the Gods in the Divine Realm!

So, they still held grave concerns about whether Gu Yuena could break through this limitation...

However, they quickly shook these worries off and cast them to the back of their minds, "Forget it, it's useless to think about such things now, perhaps our Lord has already thought of a way to deal with it!"

...

Court Etiquette Academy!

After giving Xu Sheng a quick tour of the surroundings, Tang San returned to the original place!

They happened upon Xue Qinghe and others engaged in conversation...

Xu Sheng asked out of curiosity, "Crown Prince, have you and Tang Xuanzhu been waiting here this whole time?"

He had thought that "Xue Qinghe" might have some matters to discuss with Tang Yuehua, but unexpectedly, they were awaiting their return...

Tang Yuehua merely chuckled lightly and did not speak...

Meanwhile, Xue Qinghe glanced sideways at Xue Ke beside him and explained, "Yes, that's right, Xu Sheng, this is my sister, Xue Ke. She specifically asked to meet you!"

Xu Sheng had already noticed Xue Ke, and his tone softened slightly, "I see, Princess Xue Ke, my apologies for having kept you waiting!"

Tang San was momentarily taken aback, then, after a slight bow, he echoed, "Tang San pays his respects to Princess Xue Ke!"

Xue Ke's gaze was fixed on Xu Sheng, her face slightly flushed...

She stammered, "You're... you're excused."

Although she said that, she completely ignored Tang San!

Tang San's face turned sour as he thought to himself, "Isn't this just like Brother Sheng, winning Princess Xue Ke's heart with just his exceptional appearance."

In comparison, he who seemingly had no notable strengths, seemed quite invisible!

But perhaps that was for the best, at least he wouldn't draw trouble for being too conspicuous!

He could feel that many students from the Court Etiquette Academy were casting envious glances at Xu Sheng...

Xu Sheng then continued, "I've often heard the Crown Prince mention Princess Xue Ke, but I never imagined you'd be even cuter than I thought."

As soon as he said this, Tang Yuehua's pupils suddenly contracted...

"Has... has this kid lost his mind? Before, I thought he had the demeanor of a great family, but now, meeting for the first time, he actually used the word 'cute' to describe Xue Ke. Isn't he afraid of offending the royal household?"

Her estimation of Xu Sheng suddenly dropped quite a bit...

However, the expected scene of reprimand did not occur...

Being treated so tenderly made Xue Ke's cheeks grow even hotter, she said in a low voice, "Xu... Xu Sheng, I... I've also heard my brother mention you, so... so..."

Before she could finish speaking, she adopted an extremely awkward posture, clutching Xue Qinghe's sleeve tightly with her right hand...

Xue Qinghe coughed lightly and explained, "Xue Ke is somewhat reserved, Xu Sheng, don't mind her!"

Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Of course, it is my honor to converse with Princess Xue Ke!"

Tang Yuehua silently pursed her lips, seemingly surprised that this could earn Xue Ke's favor...

But she soon came to terms with it, after all, she had also heard that Princess Xue Ke seemed interested only in handsome noble scions...

The ugly ones, she wouldn't even spare a glance, much like...

Her gaze shifted to Tang San standing next to Xu Sheng, who hadn't said a word...

Noticing the gaze cast at him, Tang San thought it was a hint for himself...

He immediately puffed out his chest, lifted his head, and said earnestly, "Princess Xue Ke, it's also my honor to meet you!"

After speaking, he extended his right hand...

However, Xue Ke turned to look at Xue Qinghe, and with a bit of anticipation, she said, "Brother, may I borrow Xu Sheng for a moment? I... I would like to have a word with him alone."

Xue Qinghe smiled faintly, "Of course there's no ques..."

In an instant, Xue Qinghe felt a surge of displeasure rising in his heart, urging him not to agree...

Seeming to sense something, Xue Ke's voice grew weaker, "Brother, do you perhaps have something very important to do next?"

Xue Qinghe came back to his senses and waved his hand, "No... nothing of the sort, Xu Sheng, I'll trouble you to accompany Xue Ke for a while, no problem, right?"

Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "No problem, I will take good care of Princess Xue Ke!"

With affirmation, Xue Qinghe then said to Tang Yuehua, "Well, Chief Tang Xuanzhu, let's go."

Faced with his words, Tang Yuehua naturally couldn't refuse, "Yes, Crown Prince!"

Meanwhile, Xue Ke also gathered her courage to look directly at Xu Sheng, murmuring softly, "Xu... Xu Sheng, it's a bit noisy here, shall we... shall we go somewhere else?"

"Certainly, as Princess Xue Ke wishes!"

The four of them left one after another, leaving only Tang San behind with his outstretched right hand, standing there like a clown...

He awkwardly retracted his hand, pretending as if nothing had happened...

But the noble scions around, who were watching the scene unfold, started to mock him mercilessly...

"Hahaha, that guy even wanted to shake hands with Princess Xue Ke, in his dreams!"

"Such a pauper appearing before Princess Xue Ke is an insult to her eyes!"

"I really don't know why he has the face to stay here, if he knows what shame is, he should just scram!"
