Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1153: Chapter 1153: Intellectual Beauty

Jiang Fan glanced downward.

The pit beneath the blue circular ring was unfathomably deep.

No one knew where the Four Crowned Asura King was hiding.

Without a word, under the gaze of many Giant Kings, he leapt into the blue ring.

Green Pearl, sensing the movement, knelt down on the ground.

A mist rose in her crystal eyes as she murmured:

"I’m sorry, Wang Chongxiao."

"Forgive me."

The wind whooshed past Jiang Fan’s ears.

After falling for some distance, he looked up, finding that he could no longer see the Ancient Giants, and then abruptly stopped.

He quickly took off his clothes and rubbed all the Hell Abyss Crystal fragments from his body.

"These are Hell Abyss Crystals."

"Using them on oneself, even the simpleton of a landowner wouldn’t dare squander them like this!"

Yet.

Looking at the handfuls of powder rubbed off from his body, he thought of compressing them into crystal and consuming them.

He couldn’t help but frown deeply.

"Wouldn’t that be kind of disgusting?"

But then he figured it out.

"These are meant for the Asura Clan to consume."

"I wouldn’t eat them myself!"

Immediately, he took out the Mountain River Tripod and threw all the powder inside.

Upon activation, a large amount of black smoke suddenly billowed from the tripod.

The powder quickly condensed.

Not long after.

Ten glowing black Crystal Stones lay quietly inside the tripod.

They were complete Hell Abyss Crystals.

Divine Objects capable of enhancing the realm of an Asura King.

He didn’t believe that the Four Crowned Asura King wouldn’t be tempted by them.

After securing the Hell Abyss Crystals, he continued descending while searching for the person.

To avoid being accidentally attacked.

He softly called out:

"Fairy, I am from Central Earth, brought here by Ancient Giants to harm you."

"We are on the same side!"

No sooner had he finished speaking.

A faint, cool voice came from below.

"Who says we’re on the same side?"

Jiang Fan looked down, spotting a faint light in the dark abyss.

He cautiously flew towards the light source.

Upon getting closer, he found a beauty radiating a soft glow over her entire body.

Wearing a black, gold-threaded full-sleeve long dress, her hair lightly flowing down.

Her profile was pristine, with a high nose bridge, and she wore a pair of glasses with golden frames and crystal lenses.

She was sitting on a chair at the moment, holding a book peacefully reading.

A sense of intellectual maturity washed over him.

She looked identical to Green Pearl.

Yet, it was impossible to associate the two together.

The difference between these twin sisters was enormous!

Jiang Fan quickly approached and saluted:

"Junior from Central Earth, Wang Chongxiao, greets Senior."

"I wonder how Senior should be addressed."

The intellectual beauty continued reading without looking at Jiang Fan, and said lightly:

"Names are all fake; why would I tell you?"

Huh?

Jiang Fan was quietly astonished.

How did the person before him know he used a false name?

He replied awkwardly, "Senior, this is my real name."

The intellectual beauty gently closed the book.

Slowly turned around.

She crossed her slender legs, her gaze calm and deep, said:

"The Ancient Giants threw you, a Four Apertures Nascent Soul, down here for a reason."

"I suspect something on you could be fatal to me."

"But you refuse to succumb to fate and want to resist, thus warning me not to accidentally kill you."

"You are cautious, and someone as cautious as you likely wouldn’t reveal their real name casually."

Jiang Fan was momentarily stunned.

This woman is terrifying!

With a little information, she saw through the Ancient Giants’ conspiracy.

Suddenly, he thought Green Pearl playing along with her sister.

It’s like a child facing an adult!

Her plan with applying Hell Abyss Crystal must seem as childish as a game to the sister.

Anger her?

Impossible!

He became serious and said, "Alright, I am Liang Feiyan."

"May I know how to address Senior?"

The lady in the black dress looked at him indifferently, and said, "You and my sister seem so close. Didn’t she tell you?"

Hiss!

Jiang Fan’s pupils shrank, and he said, "How did Senior know I am acquainted with your sister?"

He was truly surprised.

The lady in the black dress spoke calmly, "It’s simple, you weren’t surprised when you saw me."

"My sister would never casually mention her relationship with me to others."

"Nor would she easily inform people that we look alike."

"If you were not surprised by my appearance, it means you were prepared."

"Hence, you are a close friend of my sister."

Hiss!

Jiang Fan took another breath.

This woman’s mind was somewhat frightening.

He guarded himself secretly and said:

"Yes, I have some connections with your sister Green Pearl."

"This time, I came specifically to find you."

"Specifically?"

The lady in the black dress, with abyss-like crystal eyes, gazed at Jiang Fan:

"Are you planning to say that being thrown down by Ancient Giants was part of your plan?"

Jiang Fan replied calmly, "Except for the appearance of the Five-star Giant King, the rest is quite close."

Oh?

The lady in black finally regarded Jiang Fan seriously.

She faintly felt that Jiang Fan didn’t appear as simple as he seemed.

"You are looking for me to deal with the Five-star Giant King, so Central Earth can catch its breath?"

After a brief thought, she spoke out Jiang Fan’s intention.

Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Talking to you is quite easy."

"Indeed, our Taicang State currently lacks the capacity to handle the Five-star Giant King."

"If he descends, even if the Divinity Transformation Venerables in Taicang State combined forces, they might not be his match."

"Thus, someone strong is needed to hold him off."

The lady in black placed her finger on the book.

After briefly considering, she shook her head slightly, rejecting this transaction.

"I am not his match unless I reach the level of a Five Crowned Asura King."

She felt she might have overestimated Jiang Fan.

If she had the ability to confront the Five-star Giant King, she wouldn’t be hiding in this temporary refuge.

She could simply fight her way out.

However, Jiang Fan’s next words made her crystal eyes shrink.

"Then I will help you become the Five Crowned Asura King!"

A Hell Abyss Crystal appeared in Jiang Fan’s palm.

Swoosh.

The lady in black stood up and said, "A complete Hell Abyss Crystal?"

"You..."

She wanted to ask where it came from.

But such a question would lead to no answer, even if there were, it would be a misleading answer.

Therefore, she swallowed back the words.

She stared at the Hell Abyss Crystal, her eyes unable to move away, clearly moved.

"Aren’t you afraid that once I obtain the Hell Abyss Crystal, I won’t recognize you?"

Jiang Fan tossed the Hell Abyss Crystal to her and said:

"We have plenty of Hell Abyss Crystals in Central Earth Realm."

"If our cooperation goes well, there will be more for you later."

"If not, consider this one as a goodwill gesture."

The lady in black caught it unexpectedly.

This was a Hell Abyss Crystal, a dream artifact for the Asura Clan.

At their first meeting, he directly gave it to her?

She adjusted her glasses, her eyes deep, and said:

"Since Mr. Liang shows such sincerity, there’s no reason to refuse a mutually beneficial matter."

"But after all, you and I are engaging in cross-border cooperation, and holding off the Five-star Giant King is not a matter of just a day or two."

"It spans the entire wartime, with its duration possibly measured in months or years."

"We must establish a bond of mutual trust."

"Otherwise, our cooperation could easily break in the middle."

That’s indeed correct.

Jiang Fan nodded and said, "What high opinion does Senior have?"

The lady in black simply said:

"Across history, nothing has proven more effective and swift than marriage alliances."

Marriage alliance?

Jiang Fan looked at the lady in black and then at himself.

Could it be the two of them?
