Chapter 757: Princely Heir, Why Don’t You Believe Me?
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Then, Wu Ling seemed to feel that she was experiencing an illusion, rubbing her eyes in disbelief before looking forward again.The figure of the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir in front of her did not vanish.
Instead, it became more solid, incredibly real.
“Princely… Princely Heir…!?”
Wu Ling murmured subconsciously to herself—a quiet voice only she could hear.
...
Before she could say anything else, Wu Ling covered her red lips with both hands, her bright eyes staring straight at Cheng Guang, tears welling up like silk threads.
“Hush…”
Cheng Guang raised a finger to his lips, stepped forward, and appeared in front of Wu Ling, gently touching her red lips.
Wu Ling stared blankly at Cheng Guang in front of her, feeling the real touch upon her lips.
Wu Ling, no matter how much she couldn’t believe that the person in front of her was the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, had to accept it now.
After looking at Cheng Guang, Wu Ling suddenly remembered something and hurriedly glanced around, only to find that neither Empress Dowager Li nor Empress Wang showed any reaction to Cheng Guang’s appearance.
This was not normal.
If the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir appeared, despite their usual indifference, Empress Dowager Li and Empress Wang would at least turn their heads to take a look.
But now, there was no reaction at all.
As if…
As if they couldn’t see Cheng Guang at all.
“Princely Heir… what is this…?”
Wu Ling looked at Cheng Guang with confusion filling her heart.
Cheng Guang just watched the puzzled look on Wu Ling’s face, guessed what she was thinking, and chuckled, shaking his head, then explained, “I am here in my Primordial Spirit form to see you.”
“It’s not my physical body, only you can see me.”
Upon hearing Cheng Guang’s words, Wu Ling’s bright eyes widened even more in shock.
She examined Cheng Guang as he now appeared to her.
Wu Ling found that Cheng Guang, in his current state, showed no significant difference from how she had seen him on regular days.
Had Cheng Guang not informed Wu Ling that he was not present in his Primordial Spirit form, she would have been none the wiser.
She would have thought Cheng Guang was joking.
After all, whose Primordial Spirit could manifest so solidly, as real as a living person, and give such a genuine sensation.
Incredible!
Wu Ling gazed at Cheng Guang for a good while before finally reacting, “Princely Heir, has your cultivation broken through again?”
Cheng Guang shook his head, “Not yet. I’ve just broken through to Sky-Man; it’s not that easy to make another breakthrough. It’s just that my cultivation has improved a bit.”
Wu Ling nodded slightly, “That makes sense.”
After saying this, Wu Ling fell silent for a while.
She felt somewhat emo now.
She thought she was somewhat of a failure.
Compared with Cheng Guang, her own cultivation talent was nothing.
How could normal people break through to Sky-Man so quickly?
And the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, Cheng Guang, had not only suddenly made the breakthrough but had also managed to advance further in the Celestial Realm in such a short time.
Now, with just his Primordial Spirit, he could fool her.
Wu Ling thought that maybe after some time, with her level of cultivation, she would soon not even be able to see Cheng Guang’s back.
Wu Ling watched Cheng Guang with complex emotions for a good while before suddenly remembering something and quickly asked, “Princely Heir, how did you come here?”
Cheng Guang spread his hands and said with a carefree smile, “I just walked over here.”
“This place is dangerous. Even if the Princely Heir has cultivated to Sky-Man, it’s not necessarily safe.”
Wu Ling’s face was tense, her voice serious as she said, “Princely Heir, you should leave now, while they haven’t discovered you. Get away from here quickly.”
“Otherwise, once those Sect Sky-Men discover you, Princely Heir, you won’t be able to leave.”
As Wu Ling spoke, she couldn’t help but stand up, ready to push Cheng Guang away from this place.
However.
The moment Wu Ling’s hand touched Cheng Guang, it passed through him as if through air, directly through his body.
Wu Ling wasn’t surprised by this.
After all, she knew that the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir in front of her was the Primordial Spirit.
If Cheng Guang didn’t want her to be able to touch him, she would never be able to touch him.
Wu Ling looked helplessly at Cheng Guang, “Princely Heir, please believe me. Leave quickly, otherwise…”
Cheng Guang shook his head, “I don’t need to leave.”
Wu Ling had not finished speaking when she heard Cheng Guang say this. Surprised, she almost bit her tongue.
“How…”
“How come you don’t need to leave?”
Wu Ling was a bit angry; even though she was usually not easily angered, hearing Cheng Guang say such young-ox-unafraid-of-the-tiger words made her unable to restrain herself.
“Princely Heir, why don’t you believe me?”
“Your current cultivation has reached Sky-Man, which is quite remarkable already. But when you came to the Imperial Palace, you must have noticed that there are many Sky-Men here.”
“The Sky-Men from Heaven Mountain Palace, Long Sword Sect, Monkey Sect, and Turtle Defense Sect are all inside the Imperial Palace.”
“If they discover you, Princely Heir, I fear you will be imprisoned here as well, to blackmail the Duke of the State.”
Wu Ling’s beautiful eyes showed deep concern as she gazed at Cheng Guang, “Princely Heir, please go now. If not for yourself, then for the well-being of the Duke of the State.”
Cheng Guang, faced with Wu Ling’s worry, did not feel much tension; instead, his face still wore a faint smile, and he even found the mood to tease Wu Ling.
