A Woman’s Heart Is Under The Sea

(~˘▾˘)~~(˘▾˘~)

================

Jiang Lanzhi coldly snorted and flew out alone, swiftly breaking in with a swoosh.

She also noticed that this Heavenly Demon Nest was repelling Void Refining cultivators, indicating that the strength of this nest was currently unable to refine Void Refining cultivators.

Xiao Fan followed closely behind, sticking to her every step. With his Soul Formation Late Stage cultivation, he also entered.

This just confirmed her thoughts that the strength of the Heavenly Demon Nest was only at the Soul Formation Late Stage.

With her Nascent Soul cultivation, it might be difficult to fight against a Soul Formation Late Stage cultivator, but it wouldn't be a problem to contend with or even defeat them.

Although she didn't really like this guy, his strength was unquestionable.

A battle between cultivators of the same level was definitely invincible.

With the two of them working together, their chances of killing the nest were even greater.

Xiao Fan spoke, "Lanzhi, it's very dangerous inside. I'll protect you."

As he spoke, he shielded Jiang Lanzhi in front of him, acting as her rear guard.

When she heard his words, Jiang Lanzhi felt that this guy still had a bit of conscience,

But his actions made her furious. This guy only knows how to talk nonsense. Clearly, he's using me as a pathfinder, yet he says he'll protect me.

She had never seen such shamelessness!

Feeling the fluctuation of Jiang Lanzhi's emotions, Xiao Fan felt secretly delighted. You're too easy to manipulate, hehehe...

After entering the nest, the two of them were attacked by various strange Anomaly creatures, which would suddenly grow out from the fleshy walls on the ground.

Or from above, or from the walls on the left and right, they would suddenly attack without warning.

Jiang Lanzhi had considerable strength and easily dealt with these small fry.

Xiao Fan, on the other hand, remained stable as her rear guard, unmoving, preventing enemies from attacking from behind.

Jiang Lanzhi was slightly annoyed. This guy was clearly just slacking off at the back, not doing anything.

Forget it, I still need to win his support. I'll endure it for now.

Xiao Fan didn't pay any attention to her. He had his own plan.

The Divine Demon Body began to stir.

Especially the demonic nature, it almost wanted to occupy Xiao Fan's body. It kept begging, wanting to come out and devour the demonic energy here.

To it, the demonic energy of the Beiming Demon Cave and this Heavenly Demon Nest were both great nourishment.

Xiao Fan coldly snorted, scaring the demonic nature into shrinking back obediently.

Quietly, he cut a wound on his index finger and squeezed out a drop of blood, all of which was demonic blood, stripped of its divinity.

The demonic nature emanating from it made the Heavenly Demon Nest tremble, but at the same time, it was extremely eager to devour this drop of demonic blood.

Xiao Fan's Divine Demon could clearly sense the tremors of the Heavenly Demon's nest. It wanted to make a move and seize it, but it was extremely wary of the pressure from the demonic blood.

Even their attacks against the two of them were much weaker.

Xiao Fan sneered in his heart, 'Do you want it?'

Here you go!

Immediately, he directly dropped the drop of blood onto the fleshy wall beneath his feet, and the demonic blood began to seep in. The entire nest became jubilant.

In the next moment, the momentum of the Heavenly Demon's nest suddenly changed, becoming even more ferocious and violent, with a strong killing intent.

A drop of demonic blood caused it to undergo a transformation, demonstrating the power of the Divine Demon Body.

The change in the nest made Jiang Lanzhi's expression serious.

"It's undergoing a transformation, this is bad!"

Xiao Fan's expression also changed slightly as he asked, "What's happening?"

"The situation is not right, this nest has changed. It's probably reached the point of transformation and has just started to transform completely. Its strength will definitely increase."

"We need to act quickly, rush in, and strip the demonic core inside. Only then can we stop it."

Xiao Fan then 'worriedly' said, "This is too dangerous, let's go back and send someone else down."

Jiang Lanzhi refused to leave. She really needed this demonic core. She had a method to refine the demonic core, which could greatly enhance her body's recovery ability.

"No, I can't leave."

They were now not far from the demonic core, and they would be able to obtain it soon. She didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Xiao Fan timely stepped forward, holding Jiang Lanzhi's hand and protecting her behind him without saying a word.

He smiled and said, "Since you want to leave, then I'll accompany you for a while."

"You lead the way for the first half, and I'll protect you for the rest."

Jiang Lanzhi wanted to say something, but when she saw his determined face and his majestic figure, thousands of words turned into silence in her heart.

She just softly murmured, "Mm," and then stood quietly behind him.

Almost involuntarily, she moved closer to Xiao Fan, feeling his warm breath. Her jade-like hand slowly grabbed onto the corner of his clothes.

Xiao Fan turned his head, revealing a graceful smile on his face, the look of someone in complete control.

He showed off a little, but his expression was incredibly serious, with sweat even forming on his forehead.

He could only unleash 1% of his strength each time.

The difficulty of controlling the strength was much higher than the difficulty of killing these Heavenly Demons. Not only that, he also had to occasionally let two small Heavenly Demons slip through, consuming Jiang Lanzhi's stamina.

He had to appear very difficult, but couldn't be defeated too early, otherwise, they wouldn't reach the demonic core.

He was extremely cautious, afraid that with one careless move, he would punch through the nest.

This feeling is like using an excavator's bucket to open a bottle cap, accidentally breaking the bottle, with an extremely high level of difficulty!

Jiang Lanzhi lent a hand, but she was the one doing most of the work in the first half. Although she still had some energy left, her body was already exhausted, and she could only deal with the miscellaneous fish that Xiao Fan missed.

After the transformation, the strength of the Heavenly Demon nest greatly increased.

Jiang Lanzhi was just able to handle one enemy with ease, but now she had to give it her all and even engage in a fierce battle in order to kill it.

Looking at the strong and resolute figure in front of her, as well as the difficulty and seriousness he displayed, Jiang Lanzhi's calm heart was stirred once again.

Did he anticipate this, anticipate that there would be unexpected changes, which is why he conserved his energy in the first half?

But he understood my needs, so he pretended to use me as a shield.

In order to prevent me from feeling guilty and be able to accept his protection with a clear conscience.

After all, he knows that I have hostility towards him and understands that I won't accept his goodwill.

Thinking of this, everything seems to make sense.

He doesn't lack women, even if he is forced into a marriage, he won't have much patience for me, especially when I still have a cold face towards him, it's even more impossible to win his favor.

Although he behaves like a rascal, it seems like he is always considering me.

In such a vast Supreme Profundities Sacred Land, can't they find a few talented disciples to deal with the Heavenly Demon nest?

He is doing this to work for Supreme Profundities Sacred Land, to accept the support of Supreme Profundities Sacred Land!

Otherwise, with her being just a Nascent Soul little fish, how could it catch the attention of Supreme Profundities Sacred Land?

Thinking of this, her long-sealed heart began to tremble. What have you experienced that caused such a drastic change in your temperament...?

In Xiao Fan's mind, the voice of the system rang out.

[Ding, Jiang Lanzhi's favorability towards you has increased, progress in the strategy: 12%.]

No surprises, it's normal for me to work so hard to gain some favorability, right?

But what followed was that the system's voice kept echoing, making Xiao Fan feel that something was not right.

[Ding, Jiang Lanzhi's favorability towards you has increased, progress in the strategy: 15%.]

[Ding, Jiang Lanzhi's favorability towards you has increased, progress in the strategy: 20%.]

[Ding, Jiang Lanzhi's favorability towards you has increased, progress in the strategy: 26%.]

Xiao Fan was puzzled. How did her favorability increase so easily?

What he didn't know was that women have a strong ability to imagine things.

As long as she likes you, there's no need for you to deceive her, she will deceive herself!

Jiang Lanzhi commanded Xiao Fan from behind, directing him towards the direction of the demon core.

"Go left, at the next intersection, take the right path."

Although her tone was not very gentle, that cold and indifferent tone disappeared.

Xiao Fan felt proud in his heart. It wasn't in vain that I acted so hard.

In the end, the two arrived at the center of the nest and saw a purple crystal, shaped like an olive, suspended there quietly.

Around the crystal, there were three illusory monsters, obviously Void Refining stage Heavenly Demons that had undergone transformation.

"How about we retreat?" Looking at the exhausted Xiao Fan, Jiang Lanzhi spoke up.

She didn't want Xiao Fan to be in danger.

"Huh?"

Xiao Fan was taken aback. No, the performance is about to end, and you want me to retreat?

No way!!

He said affectionately,

"Although we have completed the engagement, I haven't given you an engagement gift yet. Let this demon core be the token of my love for you."

He was covered in Heavenly Demon blood, looking dirty, but a loving smile appeared on his face as he tightly held Jiang Lanzhi's hand.

Their eyes met.

Jiang Lanzhi was momentarily stunned, her beautiful eyes filled with a moving gaze. He...

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Fan aimed at her rosy and tender lips, lightly touched them, and then pulled away.

Jiang Lanzhi's delicate eyebrows trembled slightly, and she touched her red lips with a dazed expression, feeling a flutter in her heart.

"Wait for me."

Xiao Fan smiled and let go of her hand, turning around and leaving.

But Jiang Lanzhi took the initiative to hold onto him.

Wanting to speak softly and weakly, but years of ruthlessness made her tone of speech a bit awkward.

"You... ah- if there's danger, run away. Don't risk your life. You must stay alive."

As if her face had turned slightly red, she immediately found a way to save face.

"Of course, don't think too much. I'm not worried about you, I'm just afraid that Aunt will be sad."

"Hmph!"

After saying that, she quickly let go of Xiao Fan's hand, afraid of revealing her true intentions.

[Ding, Jiang Lanzhi's favorability towards you has increased, progress in the strategy: 49%.]

[Ding, Jiang Lanzhi's favorability towards you has increased, progress in the strategy: 60%.]

This soaring favorability made Xiao Fan see the hope of Jiang Lanzhi warming his bed.

You can't escape from my grasp!
