Qin Chen glanced at Domain Lord Lianchi, not expecting such a good deal to come with a buy-one-get-one-free offer.
He then casually looked at Domain Lord Zhuohuo and said, "Then let's set off quickly. We'll find two more later, that should be enough, and it’ll prevent any leaks of information that could ruin Lord 's grand plan!"
Domain Lord Zhuohuo kept smiling apologetically on the side.
"Let's go!"
Qin Chen broke through the void at incredible speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Fang Mu Ling and the others immediately followed.
Domain Lords Zhuohuo and Lianchi quickly caught up as well.
"Lord Zhuohuo, are these guys really reliable?" Domain Lord Lianchi whispered to Zhuohuo while following behind.
"They should be... no problem," Zhuohuo replied thoughtfully, having found no cause for concern.
Many things simply cannot be disguised.
Whether it was Qin Chen's demeanor or the aura around Mo Nianli and Fang Mu Ling, these were definitely not masks that ordinary powerful beings could put on. Zhuohuo was confident that even if a peak domain lord suppressed him, they still couldn’t fake such an aura.
As for the path masters...
At that level, would they even need to pretend in front of someone like him?
Still, Domain Lord Lianchi was somewhat uneasy. As a woman, she was far more sensitive than Zhuohuo and felt something strange about this, though she couldn’t quite pinpoint what.
"Lord Zhuohuo, how about I quietly test them out? If something goes wrong, you can back me up," Lianchi suggested through subtle sound transmission.
Zhuohuo hesitated, knowing that Qin Chen and the others were not the type to be trifled with. If they noticed her intentions to probe, she might suffer a backlash.
But it might be worth it.
After consideration, Zhuohuo said, "Alright, just don’t go too far."
"Don’t worry, Lord Zhuohuo. Lianchi knows her limits," Lianchi replied, then changed her expression to one of alluring charm. She flew forward a bit and said flatteringly, "My Lord, may I—"
"Flirty fox, stay away from us!"
Before Lianchi could finish, Mo Nianli snorted coldly, looking disdainfully at her with utter disgust.
"I..." Lianchi suddenly felt like she was constipated or choking mid-bite, stuck with nowhere to go.
A "flirty fox"?
She was a mighty Lianchi dragon, outstanding in aura and exquisite in appearance, with countless hearts stirred by her before. To be insulted as a flirty fox was unprecedented.
Zhuohuo’s face stiffened as well. Even when disciplining others, one must consider the master. Lianchi was his subordinate, and being insulted like this made him lose face too.
But strangely, this reassured Zhuohuo. If Qin Chen really meant harm, he would want them closer, not scold Lianchi from afar.
"Hey, Nianli, how can you speak to Lord Lianchi like that?" Fang Mu Ling shook his head. "Even if she has ulterior motives, she will still serve Lord in the future. She’s a colleague; show some courtesy."
Turning to Lianchi, Fang Mu Ling continued, "What do you want? If you’re trying to seduce Lord , I advise you to give up. He’s not interested in ordinary beauties."
Lianchi was speechless.
She forced a smile and said, "My Lords, I only heard from Lord Zhuohuo that you are from Lord ’s command. Lord commands the spirit saint lineage, rumored to hold endless vitality, complementing Lord of the Path of Destruction’s destructive power perfectly—a harmony of yin and yang. Since we inherit from the Path of Destruction, we have long been curious about the spirit saint power of Lord and would like to perceive it, to broaden our horizons."
"And my spirit saint power is something you can easily perceive?" Mo Nianli scoffed.
Lianchi’s face turned awkward.
Suddenly, Qin Chen laughed, "Nianli, wanting the horse to run without feeding it grass isn’t the way to do things."
He then looked at Lianchi and Zhuohuo. "You want to sense the spirit saint power, but you’re also trying to test whether we really come from under Lord ’s command, right?"
Zhuohuo’s expression stiffened and he quickly waved his hand, "This is—"
