Chapter 727 (1/2)

“If these can’t be solid evidence, even Palace Master Dongfang have gone to set up the ward during the fight against the Dreadfiend Sea Naga. You, who have fused with the Blackfiend Dragon, had become a key force in the battles. Other things can be faked but you can’t feign the Blackfiend Dragon Armor Set – an eleven-piece legendary armor set! On the Boundless Mainland, there’s only one Heavenly Expanse Infinitum which can compare to it. That Palace Master Dongfang didn’t have it on him, but you did. Is this still insufficient to prove your identity? I think, Meng Xing isn’t your real name either. I may have lied to you, but I’m really Zhou Weiqing. The truth is that both of us happen to be liars… so, it’s now fair game, alright?”

Listening to Zhou Weiqing’s analysis, Meng Xing turned her head to look. She did not deny his words but only looked at him with a serious demeanor.

“Can you tell me, at that time, why did you choose to save us? Those exaggerated abilities of yours, could they really stop the Dreadfiend Sea Naga?”

Zhou Weiqing stared at her with slight stubbornness, and said bitterly, “Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”

“Of course I’d like to know the truth,” Meng Xing said.

Zhou Weiqing chuckled, and said, “You tell me your true name, and I’ll tell you.”

Meng Xing was in a daze. She bit her lips gently, and said softly, “I’m Dongfang Hanyue.”

“Dongfang Hanyue? That’s a good name. It matches you.” Zhou Weiqing complimented.

Dongfang Hanyue said, “It’s your turn.”

‘I don’t know,” Zhou Weiqing clarified

Dongfang Hanyue stared at him in shock, “Is this the answer you’re giving me?”

Zhou Weiqing said, “This is my honest answer. I don’t know why I chose to save you guys either. To me, the most advantageous situation would be for both your people and the Dreadfiend Sea Naga to suffer from injuries. In times of danger, to use the Spatial Transportation Stone, that’ll be my greatest chance. I’m seventy percent confident that I’m able to escape once I’ve retrieved the Spatial Transportation Stone. You can regard me as a fool then. However, I won’t regret it.”

Upon registering the four words “I don’t regret it” uttered by Zhou Weiqing, the sternness and fury in Dongfang Hanyue’s eyes had melted. She stared at him, stupefied.

“I’ll go and get something to eat,” Zhou Weiqing stood and walked toward the seaside. He needed to calm himself down as well. Thus, it was a situation which required him to make his second choice. Furthermore, it could very well be his last chance too.

He was eighty percent sure that the Spatial Transportation Stone was with Dongfang Hanyue. ‘She’s the true ruler of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace!’ he thought. On the abandoned island, she was so weak. Without hurting her, he would also be able to snatch the Spatial Transportation Stone from her so that he could return with Bing’er, and his mission here would come to an end.

However, could he really make such a decision? If he could, he would not have told Meng Xing so much.

Reaching the seaside and allowing his feet to be immersed in the seawater, Zhou Weiqing expanded his senses. However, he discovered that in the vast ocean, he could not detect any life.

“F*ck! I can’t even have some seafood to stabilize my emotions. Where’s your sense of humanity?” Zhou Weiqing shouted at the sea with fury.

Retreating a few steps, he squatted down on the beach helplessly and drew circles on the sand with his hands, “Little Fatty Zhou, you coward! Please be soft-hearted… Please be soft-hearted…”

The circles had been drawn to a mess, but the helplessness still lingered on his face. For him to bully a gravely injured girl, more so a girl who treated him quite well, he could not do it — he simply could not! If the Mysterious Heavenly Palace treated him badly, and Dongfang Hanyue treated him just as badly, he would have made his move long ago. However, he still remembered clearly that when danger struck. she did not forget to protect him despite the odds they were in, even with the risk of her being injured.

Standing up abruptly, Zhou Weiqing walked toward Dongfang Hanyue with big steps.

Noticing his aggressiveness, Dongfang Hanyue’s pretty face turned a shade paler. She subconsciously hugged her chest and her petite body retreated a few steps on the beach.

Zhou Weiqing stopped directly in front of her.

Dongfang Hanyue, like a kitten in shock, “What, what do you want?”

Zhou Weiqing lowered his head menacingly, and said, “Hand over the Spatial Transportation Stone.”

Dongfang Hanyue’s eyes glinted with stubbornness, “No. Kill me if you want to.”
