Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Chapter 24 Qianyi

The days spent guarding the spirit stone mine were very leisurely, so leisurely that Han Li could often go out to collect the essence of low-level demonic beasts to refine puppets.

This guy is quite interested in puppetry. Although he's not obsessed with it, it's no wonder he can get along with the creator of the "Great Evolution Technique"—the Great Evolution Divine Lord.

Meanwhile, Chen Liang was refining a large amount of baleful energy, which made his cultivation progress by leaps and bounds.

Meanwhile, they secretly repaired the ancient teleportation array, preparing an escape route for themselves.

As for Chen Qiaoqian, after struggling with the decision for nearly a month, she invited Chen Liang out to a distant field of flowers to have a heart-to-heart talk.

Actually, what she was struggling with wasn't complicated. It was simply that the story of Chen Liang's creation of the powerful magic weapon, the Golden Mantis Scissors, had recently been quietly circulating among the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Huangfeng Valley.

Upon learning of this, the head of the Chen family, who had originally intended to marry Chen Qiaoqian to a young master from a prominent family in Tianque Fort to exchange for family benefits through marriage, immediately changed his mind and instead encouraged Chen Qiaoqian to associate more with Chen Liang.

Previously, when the head of the Chen family learned that his daughter was getting close to Chen Liang, a cultivator with five spiritual roots, he reprimanded Chen Qiaoqian.

As for Chen Qiaoqian, who had always been interested in Chen Liang, she was worried about her family's insistence that she get closer to the young master from the Tianque Fortress. Now that Chen Liang's outstanding qualities had finally changed her family's mind, Chen Qiaoqian was naturally happy.

However, when she thought about the many women surrounding Chen Liang, Chen Qiaoqian was torn about whether or not to confess her feelings to him.

Now, Chen Qiaoqian has finally made up her mind, which led to the scene of the two of them strolling through the sea of ​​white flowers.

Without turning her head, Chen Qiaoqian, fiddling with her fingers, asked, "Senior brother, what kind of person am I in your eyes?"

Chen Liang reached out and brushed aside the white orchid beside him, saying, "Then it depends on you, Junior Sister, whether you want to hear the truth or a lie."

Chen Qiaoqian: "Then, of course, it's the truth."

Chen Liang: "Junior sister, you're a bit silly and naive, easily fooled by men's sweet talk. Other than that, you're pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaoqian immediately relaxed and turned around angrily, saying, "Senior brother, you're being too petty. You still remember what happened between me and that guy surnamed Lu."

Chen Liang laughed and said, "But when it comes to you, Junior Sister, that's the only thing that left a deep impression on me."

Chen Qiaoqian blushed with anger, let out a soft snort, and quickly walked away to sulk.

Chen Liang, inhaling the rich fragrance of the flowers around him, quietly waited for his junior sister to truly open her heart.

A moment later, Chen Qiaoqian spoke in a low voice: "Senior brother, do you know? Before I was even born, my grandfather—the only Core Formation cultivator in the Chen family—had already passed away."

After that, in order to revive the family, my father married my mother and had me and my brother.

From the time I was old enough to understand, my father always taught me to dedicate everything to the revival of the family.

Later, without even knowing Lu Yunfeng's character, he made me sign a marriage contract with that bastard Lu Yunfeng.

After Lu Yunfeng's true nature was exposed and he was killed by his senior brother, he instructed me to get closer to a young master from a prominent family in Tianque Fort, making his intention to arrange a marriage obvious.

Until recently, when you, Senior Brother, forged the Golden Mantis Scissors, a treasure of immense value, my father, the head of the Chen family, urged me to get closer to you.

Senior brother, would you marry someone like me?

Chen Liang then said in a cryptic tone, "That depends on you, Junior Sister, whether you want to live for yourself or for your family."

Chen Qiaoqian's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. This was a question she had been pondering lately, but she had never found an answer.

So she couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, if I want to live for myself, what should I do?"

Chen Liang: "Then come with me to another world, and I'll marry you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaoqian turned around, both surprised and delighted, and asked, "Another world, what do you mean by that, Senior Brother?"

Chen Liang couldn't help but look at a stone cave not far away, which was the entrance to the ancient teleportation array.

Coincidentally, the wasteland spirit stone mine area has few lush and vibrant places, but the flower sea that Chen Qiaoqian chose happens to be the lush and vibrant place where the entrance to the ancient teleportation array cave is located.

So he pointed there and said, "Junior sister, if I told you that the cave entrance leads to an ancient teleportation array, and that the other world that ancient teleportation array leads to is a world teeming with demonic beasts, so numerous that they are impossible to kill, and even capable of launching attacks and plundering other cities and territories, would you believe me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaoqian couldn't help but look towards the entrance of the stone cave.

However, she quickly turned her gaze back to Chen Liang and asked, "So, Senior Brother, you plan to use that ancient teleportation array to take me to another world?"

Chen Liang: "Yes, the resources of demonic beasts over there are incredibly abundant, making it a paradise for rogue cultivators. And since we have temporarily left Huangfeng Valley, we are no different from rogue cultivators, so it's a good time for us to go and explore."

Chen Qiaoqian: "But didn't Senior Brother say that the monsters there might even launch a counter-attack and seize territory? Wouldn't it be extremely dangerous for us to go there?"

Chen Liang smiled upon hearing this, and then gave Chen Qiaoqian a detailed explanation of the situation in the Chaotic Star Sea, where islands dominated, humans dominated the inner star sea, and demonic beasts dominated the outer star sea.

Just listening to it, Chen Qiaoqian couldn't help but feel a longing for the Chaotic Star Sea as well.

Only when Chen Liang fell silent did Chen Qiaoqian come to her senses.

Then, Chen Qiaoqian decisively said, "Senior brother, take me with you. I am willing to leave with you, and I will never regret it until death."

And so, Chen Liang gained another fiancée. Afterwards, Chen Liang took Chen Qiaoqian to see the ancient teleportation array and gave her the remaining set of Blood Jade Soft Armor.

Furthermore, Chen Liang also planned to craft a set of useful magical treasures for Chen Qiaoqian, including the Yin-Yang Pendant for concealment and escape, a Core Formation-level robe made from Core Formation-level spiritual materials such as Blood Jade Spider Silk, a set of Red Thread Escape Needles, a small Golden Mantis Scissors, and a Yellow Silk Umbrella.

Unlike Mo Fengwu and the others, Chen Liang did not yet understand Chen Qiaoqian's preferences, so this set of rare treasures was custom-made for Chen Qiaoqian after consulting her.

When Chen Liang learned that Chen Qiaoqian liked scissor-type magical artifacts, he immediately thought of the remaining small materials of the Golden-Winged Demon Mantis.

Anyone who has seen a praying mantis knows that its forelimbs can actually be divided into two parts: the largest and sharpest long limbs, and the shorter, still sharp, short limbs.

The long forelimbs of the Golden-Winged Demon Mantis have been refined into Golden Mantis Scissors by Chen Liang, and are now being used by the jubilant Li Huayuan to wreak havoc.

The short forelimbs of the Golden-winged Demon Mantis, along with some remaining leg shells, could be used to craft a small pair of Golden Mantis Scissors, so Chen Liang arranged for Chen Qiaoqian to use them.

As for the yellow silk umbrella, this kind of ritual implement is a common ritual implement woven from a kind of spiritual silkworm silk with dual earth and metal attributes and a fine gold frame.

However, if Chen Liang adds some gold essence to Chen Qiaoqian's yellow umbrella and upgrades its restrictions by one grade, he can obtain a rare treasure, the Yellow Umbrella.
