Chapter 424: Chapter 430 Shocking the world! (first update)
Seeing Yang Zhen’s unruly behavior, Hua Youyue was both annoyed and amused, her smile blooming even brighter on her face as she gazed quietly at the cascading waterfall, slowly becoming entranced.
Yang Zhen turned his head to look at Hua Youyue and was instantly stunned by her intoxicating charm, his expression clearly moved.
The first time he saw Hua Youyue slowly descending the stairs of Changyue Tower, a peculiar sensation stirred within Yang Zhen’s heart. The innate tranquility Hua Youyue possessed was increasingly soothing to him now.
Especially at this moment, Hua Youyue exuded softness and warmth like water and jade, her elegant aura even more prominent against the backdrop of the violent cascades.
Yang Zhen looked on, completely astounded and silently amazed.
Good heavens, how could such a beautiful woman exist in this world?
The beauty of Hua Youyue transcended mere physical appearance and temperament, it was the kind that struck the core of one’s soul, a sort of divine purity that emanated from her every movement, growing more and more transcendent by the day.
Seemingly feeling Yang Zhen’s gaze, Hua Youyue’s long lashes fluttered slightly, her brows low with shy humility, yet a subtle hint of satisfaction lingered at the corners of her lips. She turned her head to glance at Yang Zhen, her voice a soft whisper, “Haven’t had enough yet?”
“Could never have enough, not even in ten thousand years!”
Yang Zhen responded subconsciously, recalling a cliched phrase from the Blue Planet..
Interesting souls are one in a million.
A soul like this young maiden was a once-in-ten-thousand-year find.
That kind of feeling when a single glance stirs both hearts, that was infatuation.
Hua Youyue gave a faint smile, looking up at the sky as she suddenly asked, “What do you think is up there?”
Yang Zhen also looked at the sky, not wanting to speak of planets and the universe, he instead said, “Up there, there is the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Heavenly River, South Heaven Gate, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who tore a hole in the universe…”
Hua Youyue turned her head to stare at Yang Zhen, a look of astonishment on her face. Her bright eyes shimmering with surprise, she said, “It must be a splendid world. Most likely, however, nothing exists there. Even if it did, it would only be an endless cosmos.”
Yang Zhen broke out laughing, “If it doesn’t exist, then we create it!”
It wasn’t easy to find something the young maiden liked, but the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was a world of legends while the monkey-like Great Sage was a hero in the hearts of every boy on the Blue Planet, impossible to replicate.
At that moment, both their hearts stirred simultaneously, exchanged a glance, though Yang Zhen’s gaze flickered somewhat.
Hua Youyue lightly laughed, took hold of Yang Zhen’s hand and said, “Your path transcends the mundane. If you desire to do it, then do it!”
Not far behind them, a ragged cat and a pesky chicken muttered under their breath. Especially that unreliable damned cat, hiding his face behind a leaf, copying the call of an owl, cooing persistently. It was annoying to listen to.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly fixing on something inside the waterfall as he sternly shouted, “Who goes there?”
Hua Youyue’s eyes flashed sharp rays of light as she quickly turned her head. She suddenly felt a wave of warmth wash over her creamy face, a fleeting sensation that struck at her heartstrings.
This indescribable feeling sent a jolt through Hua Youyue’s body. Before she could react, she saw Yang Zhen chuckling weirdly as he exaggeratedly swung his arms, running towards the ragged cat and the pesky chicken.
Hua Youyue stared, her lips pressed tightly to suppress her laughter, her rosy cheeks flushed, unable to calm down for a long time.
Yang Zhen was practically overjoyed, the young maiden’s face was as fragrant as a perfectly ripe red apple, he had to use all his self-control not to take a bite.
Biting was of course out of the question. Should he have actually done it, wouldn’t the reputation the Sao Saint had built up over a lifetime be ruined?
At most, I would put a stamp, imprinting my Divine Soul Imprint of Sao Saint in the process.
The cheap cat and the slutty chicken were stunned. They glanced at each other, twisting their heads simultaneously. One sneaked a peek from under its wing, and the other, who was more shameless, almost buried his head next to his tail.
Yang Zhen approached the cheap cat and the slutty chicken, slapped each of them, and said angrily, “Damn it, next time you come, could you tell the right time? My hard-worked atmosphere that Sao Saint and I managed to create has just set in, and you…never mind, why did you come to me?”
The cheap cat chuckled eerily and sneakily glanced at Hua Youyue, who had disappeared. Whispering to Yang Zhen, he said, “We both toiled and moiled, while you were here gallivanting with girls under the moon. Damn, it’s not fair, I’m demanding a raise!”
“A raise my ass!” Yang Zhen glared, saying, “I asked you to get some information and all you return is our exposed secrets. I haven’t deducted your pay yet, and you’re asking for a raise?”
“Exactly!” The slutty chicken looked down on the cheap cat in agreement, firmly standing on the leader’s side.
The cheap cat got furious, pointing at his nose, saying, “Watch it, boy, remember that a unique kylin is working for you, the only auspicious beast in the world. What else are you not satisfied with?”
“Never seen a kylin that’s such a sissy!” Yang Zhen scoffed, turned his head, and asked the slutty chicken, “Have you ever seen one?”
“No!”
“Beat it, the slutty chicken’s opinion doesn’t matter!” The cheap cat was utterly defeated, his eyes rolling, said, “Boy, guess what we’ve found out?”
“What?” Yang Zhen, curious, leaned towards the cheap cat, asking, “Is there any useful news this time?”
The cheap cat held his head high with a triumphant expression, “Of course! Damn, we did the right thing sneaking off. Separation Star Sect somehow acquired thousand-year-old Iron Star Wood and created a sensational flying device from it. It even has a flamboyant name.”
“What’s it called?” Yang Zhen sniffed, wondering what useful flying device this bunch of natives could have created.
“What was it again?” The cheap cat scratched his ears, trying to remember.
“Tyrant…” The slutty chicken suggested from the sidelines.
“Aha, I remember now. It’s called Tyrant Sky! Now isn’t that assertive?”
“What the hell?”
Yang Zhen almost popped his eyes.
“God damn it, Tyrant Sky! Is Separation Star Sect trying to defy the heavens?”
The cheap cat cackled, saying, “Of course, they wouldn’t dare to defy the heavens unless they have a death wish. But it’s a bit too assertive, even for them to claim that Spiritual Studies Palace and Ink Pool Peak, the two sects, would hang their heads in shame. And we have yet to reveal our flying device. If…Nevermind. There’s no point boasting. Boy, what does our flying device look like?”
“I haven’t decided yet. Why do you ask?” Yang Zhen glared at the cheap cat. This rascal was even more eager than he was, always fantasizing about stunning everyone with an impressive flying device, so that everyone could witness its mightiness.
What Yang Zhen couldn’t stand the most was that the cheap cat, while craving all the excitement, didn’t know a thing about casting devices. It kept fantasizing and to convince Yang Zhen to produce one, it willingly offered its secret stash. It scared the wits out of him.
Throughout their journey, Yang Zhen gathered countless precious materials. Yet compared to the cheap cat, what he had was trifling. Even then, Yang Zhen suspected that this bastard hadn’t given out everything and still held some reserves.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the cheap cat cackled loudly, its hands on its waist, looking utterly majestic, “My name is already thought of. Whoever this Tyrant Sky is, he’s nothing compared to the name I came up with.”
Yang Zhen had a bad feeling coming on. Confused, he asked, “What’s it called?”
“Day Penetrates Sky!” The cheap cat said delightedly.
“Get lost….just get lost right now!”
