Chapter 1492: Can Eat and Sleep

Unsolvable Substitute Marriage: Jiang Fan and Xu Yining

"If there's a discrepancy in your inscriptions..."Jiang Fan raised the divine wood in his hand and said calmly,"If there's a difference of one character, each of you gets one strike.""Ten characters, ten strikes.""As for more, I can't guarantee you'll survive the beating."

Tian Ge's pupils contracted sharply.She didn't dare endure even half a strike more, so she hastily said,"What I wrote is absolutely true, not a single character is wrong.""If there's a mistake, it's that woman!""You can't punish me too!"

Jiang Fan ignored her and tossed the paper and pen to Hua Xin.Comparing two copies of the "Book of Invoking Saints" was merely one way to verify its authenticity.Monitoring Hua Xin's thoughts was also a method to check its truthfulness.Only by using both methods could the authenticity of the inscription be confirmed.

Hua Xin gripped the pen, secretly gritting her teeth. "This bastard, it's harder to trick him than to climb to heaven!"She didn't know what Tian Ge had written.Therefore, she didn't dare to write a false version rashly.Otherwise, if the two versions differed, she herself would also be beaten.After much thought, she reluctantly had no choice but to honestly transcribe the true "Book of Invoking Saints."

Jiang Fan compared the contents of the two versions and found them identical, finally putting his mind at ease.The matter of the bronze inscription was now completely resolved.He silently memorized the content, then burned it.

"Consider yourselves honest."Jiang Fan casually tossed a few Yin-energy radishes onto the ground in front of Tian Ge's feet."Take these."

Tian Ge looked, and a deep craving surged from within her soul. "Are these spiritual objects from the Underworld?"No Asura from the Heavenly Realm could resist something from their homeland.Especially since Tian Ge had been weak for so long and desperately needed nourishment from Yin energy.

Hua Xin saw this and immediately became displeased. "Don't give them to her!""The Dark Asura race doesn't deserve them!"She glared at Tian Ge, anger in her eyes.It was just like their first meeting.

Jiang Fan said calmly, "Your grievances from the Underworld have nothing to do with me.""She gave me the 'Book of Invoking Saints' I wanted, so giving her a few Yin-energy spiritual objects is nothing.""As for you..."His eyes slowly narrowed.

If Hua Xin had handed over the "Book of Invoking Saints" earlier, Jiang Fan wouldn't have unknowingly killed the Underworld Beasts.As a result, he had the sacrificial inscription and vessels, but lacked the blood of the Underworld Beasts.This woman had always been wary of him.Moreover, her background was complicated, and her origins were a mystery.Jiang Fan would die soon; if Hua Xin gained freedom then, would she become a hidden danger to the Central Plains?

Hua Xin keenly sensed a faint killing intent in Jiang Fan's heart, and her heart jolted.She quickly lowered her gaze and said submissively, "I... I have other uses."

Jiang Fan silently activated the Soul-Binding Lock, and chains wrapped around Hua Xin's residual soul.Unidentifiable emotions flickered in his eyes as he calmly asked, "Such as?"

Cold sweat streamed down Hua Xin's forehead, and she stammered, "For example... for example, I can eat and sleep."Her greatest reliance in not fearing Jiang Fan had been the bronze inscription.Now, Jiang Fan had already obtained it through other means.What value did she have left?

Suddenly, an idea struck her. "I... I can help you ward off disaster!""That Asura Saint Son, isn't he still hunting you?"

He had almost forgotten about the Asura Saint Son.The Bloodthirsty Asura lineage of that Asura Saint Son was clearly at odds with Hua Xin's lineage.With Hua Xin present, she could still block a calamity at a critical moment.Thus, Jiang Fan pondered, "Alright, you can remain in the Soul Crystal.""Before that, you'd better think about what other value you might have.""If the threat of the Asura Saint Son is resolved one day, you might just..."He drew a finger across his neck, not bothering to hide his threat.

Hua Xin secretly gritted her teeth. "Bastard! Do you really think I've been eating those Yin-energy vegetables for nothing all this time?""I'll give you a surprise soon."A glimmer of anticipation flickered in her eyes.

Just as Jiang Fan was about to put away the Soul Crystal, he suddenly caught this piece of information through the Ancient Mind-Illuminating Mirror.He couldn't help but be surprised.It was unexpected.It turned out that Yin-energy vegetables had another great use for Hua Xin.Had she recovered lost memories? Or was she cultivating some Underworld technique?Or was she preparing another method?No wonder she had such an exceptionally strong demand for Yin-energy vegetables.He had inadvertently discovered a small secret of Hua Xin's.

Turning his gaze, he took all the Yin-energy vegetables out of the Soul Crystal.He then tossed them with a backhand to Tian Ge.

"Ah! What are you doing?" Hua Xin asked in surprise.Jiang Fan said, "I don't have enough Yin-energy vegetables. Let's give her yours.""Don't be so stingy. I'll give you fresher ones."

Really?Hua Xin was skeptical and a little suspicious in her heart. Had Jiang Fan noticed what she was secretly planning?It shouldn't be, she had concealed it so well.After a moment, she said, "Alright, but you must make it up to me.""Otherwise, my weak residual soul will die."Weak?Jiang Fan used to think so, but now he had to question it.

Releasing the Soul-Binding Lock, Jiang Fan threw her into the Soul Crystal.After a final glance at Tian Ge, he prepared to turn and leave.

"Wait." Tian Ge gathered the pile of Yin-energy vegetables in front of her and said coldly,"You'd better stay away from that woman."

Jiang Fan stroked his chin and asked, "Do you know who she is?"Tian Ge shook her head. "No, I'm from the Heavenly Realm. How would I know someone from the Underworld?""However, I can sense that she must have been a formidable figure in her lifetime.""Her demise, with her body destroyed and soul fragmented, must have involved tremendous karma.""Be careful not to get entangled."

A formidable figure?Coming from the mouth of a Dark Asura princess, Hua Xin's former identity rose another level in Jiang Fan's estimation."Thanks."Jiang Fan waved without looking back and left with his hands behind his back.

Tian Ge watched Jiang Fan leave, her gaze still cold. She muttered to herself,"No need to thank me.""I just don't want to owe you a favor. That way, it'll be easier to kill you once I'm free!"Looking at the Yin-energy vegetables before her, her eyes shone brighter than ever.

Meanwhile, Jiang Fan.He stepped out of the dungeon.As he walked, he murmured, "My visit to White Horse Temple is over.""It's time to visit the Myriad Tribulations Holy Temple."

Suddenly, he noticed a faint chill permeating the air.At the same time, Hua Xin, inside the Soul Crystal, narrowed her eyes and warned,"Be careful, a Divine Transformation Venerable is here."

Perhaps eager to demonstrate her value, Hua Xin actively assisted Jiang Fan.A Divine Transformation Venerable?And cultivating the path of ice?Does Taicang Great State have such a Divine Transformation Venerable?Regardless, he should probably avoid them.

He placed two fingers to his lips and silently uttered, "Selfless Purifying Dust Art."The next moment, he vanished from his spot.This was a good opportunity to test if the second perfected level of the "Selfless Purifying Dust Art" truly worked as described.To be able to block the senses of a Divine Transformation Venerable.
