After slapping the little princess, Chen Nan felt refreshed and exhilarated, finally getting rid of his pent-up anger. On the stands of Shenfeng Academy, the vice-principal's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment. While others might not know the little princess's identity, he certainly did; he never expected Chen Nan to be so audacious.
In the northwest corner of the square, Dongfang Fenghuang was equally astonished, her mouth agape. After spending many days together and observing various clues, she had already guessed the little princess's identity. She hurriedly rode her divine eagle and soared into the sky.
At the same time, a flash of colorful light appeared on a tall grandstand, and a stunningly beautiful woman in white, standing on a jade lotus platform, slowly flew into the sky, like a celestial being.
Countless people in the square exclaimed in surprise, and many young people were in a daze as if a fairy had descended to earth.
The jade lotus platform beneath the white-clad woman's feet was a meter in diameter. Its petals were crystal clear and dazzling, layered upon each other, radiating a five-colored light. A misty haze swirled around it like ethereal fairy energy. The peerless beauty stood atop the jade lotus platform, her unparalleled face adorned with a faint smile. Her snow-white skin, like solidified cream and fine jade, shimmered with a subtle glow. Her robes fluttered, her long hair flew—the white-clad woman truly seemed like a celestial being descended to earth.
"So beautiful, like a fairy!"
"She's a nun!"
"Her name is Meng Ke'er, the most outstanding successor of the ancient sacred Tantai School..."
"He truly is a descendant of the ancient sacred land; that jade lotus platform is the most precious treasure of the Tantai Sect!"
"My God, how can there be such a beautiful woman in the world!"
...
The square was mostly filled with young people. As soon as Meng Ke'er took to the air, the crowd erupted in excitement.
A giant golden eagle pierced the sky, arriving before Chen Nan first. Dongfang Fenghuang, dressed in purple, possessed a graceful and exquisitely beautiful figure, almost perfect. Her peerless face was covered in frost as she coldly stared at Chen Nan. Since learning Chen Nan's true identity and understanding his true strength, Dongfang Fenghuang knew that her "great revenge" was difficult to avenge immediately, and she never sought trouble with him again.
Due to a series of major events that have occurred recently, the rumors about her and Chen Nan within the Divine Wind Academy have gradually faded and been forgotten. If things were still like before, Dongfang Fenghuang would not be as composed as she is now.
"You scoundrel Chen Nan, get out of here! Today is the official start of the Four Great Academies' Youth Power Competition. What kind of behavior is this, acting so recklessly in the sky!" Although she already knew Chen Nan's true identity, Dongfang Fenghuang still called him a scoundrel because she harbored resentment.
"Ah, Phoenix Sister, save me! Kick this scoundrel, this big jerk off the stage... Ouch..." The little princess had just cried out when Chen Nan slapped her pert bottom again.
At this moment, Meng Ke'er, standing on a jade lotus flower, had already arrived and hovered in the air. The Taoist treasure, the jade lotus platform, was crystal clear and dazzling, truly like the nine-tiered lotus platform of an immortal. Meng Ke'er stood on it, her eyes gleaming with wisdom, a slight smile on her face, appearing intelligent and confident.
Her unparalleled beauty astonished both the Eastern Phoenix and the little princess. They were already renowned for their captivating beauty, yet they still felt immense pressure in her presence. As for the magician, he was completely mesmerized, his eyes glued to the stunning beauty on the jade lotus, his mouth practically watering.
Meng Ke'er possessed the beauty and spirit of heaven and earth, radiating a spiritual aura. When Chen Nan saw her, he was reminded of Tantai Xuan, the mysterious woman from ten thousand years ago who combined beauty and wisdom. An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart, and he chuckled coldly.
Meng Ke'er nodded to Dongfang Fenghuang, then smiled and asked Chen Nan, "Brother Chen, why did you fight in the air?"
The little princess rolled her big eyes and cried out, "Sister, save me! This big pervert has designs on me!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Nan slapped her hard and said, "If you're willing, I can grant your wish and make it live up to its name."
Seeing that Chen Nan didn't react to her question, Meng Ke'er frowned slightly, but still smiled and said, "Brother Chen, could you please let go of this little sister?"
"Why should I listen to you?" Chen Nan retorted directly.
Upon first learning her identity, Chen Nan harbored a wicked thought. He knew the Tantai Ancient Holy Land held immense prestige on the continent, and its disciples were highly respected. He wanted to destroy the ancient holy land founded by Tantai Xuan, and to achieve this, he would first target its members. Meng Ke'er was the most outstanding successor of the Tantai Sect in its current era; if he wanted to deal with this incomparably beautiful and peerless woman, then he should…
Chen Nan felt incredibly wicked, having such devilish thoughts. In truth, ever since the battle in Kaiyuan City of Jin, his temperament had begun to slowly change. The Chen Nan who was hailed as the number one among his peers ten thousand years ago seemed to have returned, and his previously decadent figure seemed to be fading away.
The four years when Chen Nan's power was destroyed ten thousand years ago were colorless and colorless. Yu Xin's departure caused him to completely break down, and he was almost a cripple in spirit. Even after being resurrected from the Tomb of the Gods, he was still extremely decadent.
In this life, amidst the hustle and bustle, Chen Nan's heart is filled with profound loneliness and sorrow, as if everything around him is nothing but an illusion, destined to vanish like fireworks at any moment. His seemingly foolish behavior is merely an attempt to forget those distant memories and his lonely self…
The Eastern Phoenix, the Little Witch, the Eldest Princess, Nalan Ruoshui—each a peerless beauty—had crossed paths with him, yet none could evoke the emotions he once felt. Scenes of dazzling splendor seemed like a distant memory. What was the meaning of his own existence? Why had he awakened after ten thousand years? Had he gone mad, or had the world gone mad? The seemingly carefree Chen Nan concealed his inner world...
His decadent life began with the heartbreaking separation outside the Valley of a Hundred Flowers ten thousand years ago and ended with his longing and reminiscence in the ancient immortal ruins ten thousand years later. The thoughts and feelings he had during those three days deeply touched his soul, and some of the dried-up emotions deep within him began to slowly revive.
Later, during the great battle in the capital of Jin, he reversed his Xuan Gong. The reversed Xuan Gong was almost demonic and devilish, seemingly able to completely unleash a person's latent dark nature, which caused another shock to his inner world.
The trip to the State of Jin brought about a tremendous change in Chen Nan's inner world; he felt that his former "self" had been revived.
