Chapter 1681: Chapter 1719: Giant Reinforcements

"I don’t want to see him again."

The True Word Venerable’s face returned to its usual coldness, with no trace of father-daughter affection for the Xingyuan Venerable in her eyes.

Perhaps feeling her tone towards Jiang Fan was too heavy, her voice softened:

"I know what you want to say, that someone with his heart for the world wouldn’t abandon his own family, surely it’s a misunderstanding."

"I thought so too, and even questioned him face to face."

"But, his answer was just like what was spread outside."

"I did not wrong him."

Jiang Fan frowned.

How could this be? Is there something hidden?

The True Word Venerable gently shook her head, with a trace of softness in her eyes:

"Don’t dwell on the matter between Xingyuan Venerable and me anymore, I’ve already let it go over the years."

"I have no family in this world."

"Only you count as half."

Jiang Fan’s heart stirred slightly, looking at the True Word Venerable in surprise.

The meaning of those words is...

The True Word Venerable, embarrassed, looked away, and said, "Thank you for risking to find me under the Fire Well."

"After the war, marry me."

"I’ll marry you."

Jiang Fan’s eyes opened wide, little by little.

He never expected the True Word Venerable to say such things.

A slight blush appeared on the True Word Venerable’s cheeks, but she calmly said:

"Although there is no romantic feeling between us, you are my first man, and I am willing to follow you."

Unable to tell lies, every declarative sentence she spoke was what she truly felt.

But after speaking, receiving no response for a moment, she turned her head to see Jiang Fan standing there, dazed.

Embarrassed, she stomped her foot: "Give me an answer!"

She had already shown her feelings, but Jiang Fan left her hanging without responding, making her extremely awkward.

Jiang Fan snapped back, naturally wrapped his arm around her waist.

The True Word Venerable twisted symbolically, but Jiang Fan hugged her tighter, pulling her completely into his embrace.

His broad chest tightly enveloped her slender body.

Feeling his scorching breath on her face and the heat of his chest, she said unnaturally, "Are you mute? Speak up!"

Jiang Fan, smiling, said: "Who could refuse a beautiful wife?"

"If we survive the war, I’ll marry you."

Upon receiving a definite answer, the True Word Venerable’s worried heart finally calmed down.

She was really afraid Jiang Fan would outright refuse, leaving her with no place to turn.

"Consider yourself smart, dare to refuse and see what happens!" The True Word Venerable lightly punched his chest.

Jiang Fan chuckled: "Oh? What if I refuse?"

The True Word Venerable took out a large pair of scissors without a second thought: "Did you forget about this?"

Jiang Fan was speechless with laughter.

How could he forget, it was with these scissors that the True Word Venerable chased him from the Taicang State all the way to the Hunyuan State?

Unexpectedly, through a twist of fate, their entangled relationship turned into a good one.

Ultimately, they ended up together by a strange twist of events.

He involuntarily recalled that wild and romantic night, the warmth and fragrance in his arms now made his gaze slowly heat up.

The True Word Venerable noticed Jiang Fan’s change, her face turned red too, and she struggled lightly: "Let me go, there are many people here..."

"Mm... mm... mm..."

Her red lips were sealed, she symbolically resisted a few times, found she couldn’t resist, so she simply closed her eyes, lying in Jiang Fan’s embrace, letting him be.

Jiang Fan’s hand also took the opportunity to climb onto True White.

Just as he was about to grip tightly.

Clang clang clang—

The Evil Sword on his back vibrated intensely.

The outline of the markings on it became much clearer.

Startled by the sudden sound, True Word awoke and quickly freed herself from Jiang Fan’s embrace.

She wiped her slightly numb mouth, blushing, and said: "So annoying."

Jiang Fan turned angrily, took the Evil Sword off, and threw it on the ground, stomping on it twice:

"Annoying thing!"

The True Word Venerable, puzzled, asked: "Why did your sword move on its own?"

Jiang Fan replied dismissively: "Can’t stand me being happy."

"Because you agreed to be with me, it got upset."

The True Word Venerable was surprised: "Such a strange Artifact Spirit?"

"Then, if I live with you in the future, won’t it be even angrier?"

It seemed like hearing this, the Evil Sword vibrated even more intensely.

Jiang Fan’s eyes showed amazement.

Even when he broke through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, the Artifact Spirit wasn’t this agitated.

Now a little affection with True Word got it so angry.

If he really married her, wouldn’t it be angry enough to evolve the Evil Sword into a Quasi-Realm Artifact on the spot?

He suddenly became a bit expectant.

Calculating the time, less than one and half two-hours remain until the end of the Ancient Hunt.

There’s no movement above the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

The Giant’s reinforcements probably couldn’t arrive in time.

The end of the war is near.

He once promised Yue Mingzhu that if he was still alive after the war, he would marry her.

Now he promised True Word as well.

At that time, let’s marry both of them together!

Whoosh—

Suddenly, the Lecherous Sage’s small head popped out from the Jade Paper Heavenly Book.

Jiang Fan gave her a sidelong glance: "Were you spying?"

But the Lecherous Sage’s expression was uncharacteristically serious, looking around the world and said: "The aura of Hunyuan State has changed."

Hmm?

Jiang Fan’s heart skipped a beat, looking towards the Great Wine Sacrifice and others, he just noticed they were suddenly serious.

It seemed they sensed something, solemnly staring at the sky above the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

Seated cross-legged on the ground, with closed eyes, the Six Sun Giant Emperor slowly opened his eyes.

He smirked coldly: "It seems, time is on our side."

"One and half two-hours is enough to smash you!"

A wild aura in Hunyuan State’s heaven and earth quickly thickened.

Previously, when the three armies descended on Hunyuan State, it wasn’t this thick.

Evidently, an unprecedented number of giants had arrived!

Red Sleeves looked puzzled: "How can this be?"

"The area above the Heavenly State corresponds to the central tribe, from there to here indeed takes half a day for the army to march."

"Why this much earlier?"

As someone from the Southern Heavenly Realm, he was familiar with the distances between the tribes.

Judging the speed of marching, it shouldn’t be that far off.

"Unless..." Red Sleeves’ gaze moved slowly from above the Connecting Sky Black Pillar towards the Qintian Bureau’s direction!

Jiang Fan realized something as well, his face extremely grave.

If the Ancient Giant’s army had any way to reach faster.

There was only one possibility!

Utilizing the State-level Teleportation Array of a certain state!

However, Jiang Fan couldn’t understand this.

Even if at this time there are no Divinity Transformation Realm overseers in each state, Nascent Soul Realm ones are still present.

Especially the Qintian Bureau, which has powerful Sky Watchers guarding it.

If the Ancient Giants overtook the State-level Teleportation Array, the Qintian Bureau would surely send someone to notify them in Hunyuan State.

But, up till now, no Qintian Bureau from any state reported anything unusual.

At this moment.

The Great Wine Sacrifice and others sensed something, all looking towards the Qintian Bureau’s direction.

Among them, the Compassionate Sage looked surprised, as if a thought crossed his mind, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

It seemed the source of the aura had been pinpointed.

It was indeed the Qintian Bureau!

The Ancient Giants used the State-level Teleportation Array of some state to arrive early on the battlefield!

Jiang Fan soared into the sky suddenly, his expression grave:

"After all, it can’t be avoided!"
