Chapter 663: Chapter 665: Inside the Spatial Turbulence

Spatial Turbulence raged around them, but Lin Zhen wasn’t too afraid.

The so-called Spatial Turbulence was a combination of all energy elements and the dark energy in the universe, which could inflict lethal damage to almost every life with its high-speed impact.

But Lin Zhen wasn’t afraid because he had cultivated all elemental energy long ago.

Moreover, Lin Zhen had cultivated each of the elemental energies to the extreme point, comprehending the power of the atom.

It was precisely because of this that the elemental energy couldn’t cause lethal damage to Lin Zhen. Only the impact carried by the Dark Energy made him somewhat painful, requiring a shield for protection.

This shield needed to be made up of all elemental energies to ensure it wouldn’t be broken within the Spatial Turbulence, but it required a significant amount of Star Power to sustain it.

However, Ning Qingxuan, who was nearby, didn’t have such abilities. Although she was a Longevity Realm Martial Artist, she couldn’t cultivate all the energy elements. The onslaught of Spatial Turbulence made Ning Qingxuan painfully resistant.

Both of them had lost control of their bodies, traversing the boundless Spatial Turbulence. The only thing they could hold on to was each other.

Lin Zhen’s tall body embraced Ning Qingxuan. At this point, he couldn’t easily let her go. Although this woman wanted to kill him, her character was still somewhat admirable to Lin Zhen.

He released the energy elements from his body, combined them with his Spiritual Power, and formed a protective shield to block the Spatial Turbulence as much as possible.

Although the powerful impact still made him uncomfortable, at least both of them didn’t have to die.

After the initial panic, Ning Qingxuan noticed Lin Zhen’s actions.

Her small white jade hands pressed against Lin Zhen’s chest. Lin Zhen’s firm chest made her feel suffocated, and more so, it was the emotional chaos within her. She couldn’t accept that they were embracing each other when just moments ago they had been mortal enemies.

Lin Zhen saw Ning Qingxuan trying to break free and shouted in her ear, “Crown Princess, this is a crucial moment for our lives! I lack Star Power, so you better release yours to prevent my shield from breaking. Otherwise, when my power is exhausted, I’ll die too. And you won’t last even a minute without me!”

“I’d rather die than be with you!” Ning Qingxuan struggled with a flushed face.

“Enough! Great achievements come from overcoming small obstacles. You managed to advance to the Longevity Realm at such a young age. How much effort did your sect, family, and friends put in for this? Should it just be given up on so easily? Stupid!”

Ning Qingxuan was taken aback, her struggling movements somewhat halted.

“I know you want to kill me, but you can do it after we reach a safe place. Do you really want to die together with me? Is it just because I kissed you once? Whether it’s one kiss or ten, if you keep struggling like this, I’ll…”

Lin Zhen puckered his lips, quickly approaching Ning Qingxuan’s red lips.

Ning Qingxuan exclaimed in surprise. Given the situation, her Star Power was almost exhausted, and her physical strength was no match for Lin Zhen, making it impossible for her to avoid his advances.

Frightened, she shut her eyes tightly, pursed her lips, and forcefully turned her head away.

But Lin Zhen’s lips didn’t land on her as he only wanted Ning Qingxuan to cooperate a little.

After a while with no movement, Ning Qingxuan slowly opened her eyes, only to see Lin Zhen’s forehead covered in sweat. To maintain the defense, Lin Zhen had to continuously consume Star Power without time for recovery. He wouldn’t be able to hold it for very long.

Her determination to kill Lin Zhen finally wavered a little.

Though the man before her was somewhat annoying, he didn’t seem to be inherently evil.

Of course, this didn’t mean Ning Qingxuan could forgive Lin Zhen’s actions. Rather, it was an urgent situation, and now the two were relying on each other for survival. Neither could survive without the other.

“Stop staring. Maintaining my shield requires Star Power. You should release your Star Power into it, allowing me to rest for a while, as I’m too weak right now.”

Ning Qingxuan didn’t say anything, but her Star Power was quietly released, injecting new strength into Lin Zhen’s protective shield.

With Ning Qingxuan’s support, Lin Zhen finally didn’t have to endure such pressure, gaining a rare opportunity to breathe.

But once he stopped, he realized just how enchanting the soft body in his arms was.

The slender waist his arm encircled seemed to be less than a handful, while her chest filled with soft elasticity pressed against his own, making him somewhat restless.

Plus the pure and gentle face before him, Lin Zhen couldn’t help but silently admit she was a peerless beauty.

No wonder the Crown Prince still pursued Ning Qingxuan despite what had happened. Among all the women Lin Zhen had ever seen, she was the only one comparable to Little Phoenix.

After a while, it seemed that Ning Qingxuan sensed Lin Zhen’s burning gaze. Her face flushed, and she glared at Lin Zhen before attempting to put some distance between them.

But in their embrace, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t separate them.

Lin Zhen felt that it was somewhat inappropriate and slowly closed his eyes without looking at her, focusing on recovering his strength.

A few minutes later, the soft body in his arms began to heat up, and Lin Zhen knew she was reaching her limit.

Opening his eyes, he saw Ning Qingxuan drenched in sweat, her face pale.

“You take a break; I’ll take over!”

Lin Zhen replenished the Star Power, allowing Ning Qingxuan to rest.

With her still struggling to maintain distance from him even in her exhausted state, Lin Zhen decided to press her against his chest, “Just lean here honestly for a while. I’m not taking advantage of you. If you don’t recover well, and I can’t hold on any longer, we’ll both end up dead.”

At this point, Ning Qingxuan seemed to have somewhat come to terms with the situation. She closed her eyes and leaned her head on Lin Zhen’s chest, a position that was indeed more conducive to recovery.

However, from Lin Zhen’s perspective, the slightly transparent red earlobe revealed that its owner’s inner turmoil was far from calm.

Lin Zhen knew she was embarrassed, so he didn’t say anything but silently released his Star Power to resist the invasion of the Spatial Turbulence.

It was fortunate that Ning Qingxuan was with him; otherwise, Lin Zhen would not have been able to survive here once his Star Power was exhausted.

As a Longevity Realm Martial Artist, Ning Qingxuan wasn’t as weak as Lin Zhen, and her recovery speed was even faster than his. After about ten minutes, she took over the task of supporting the protective shield.

In this way, the two of them took turns supporting the shield, and their cooperation became increasingly tacit.

Since they were in such a situation, Ning Qingxuan had no choice but to accept the temporary comfort of leaning on Lin Zhen’s embrace, albeit reluctantly.

However, over time, the initial tension between them gradually dissipated…

*********

Inside the carriage pulled by the Divine eagle, it was as if a thunderstorm was about to erupt.

People were all anxiously watching the Crown Prince. As People of Nan Liang, everyone knew how deeply the Crown Prince loved the Crown Princess.

Counting their ages, the Crown Prince was two thousand years older than the Crown Princess.

Initially, the Crown Prince had been diligently cultivating, receiving the Emperor’s focused nurturing, and finally breaking through to the Longevity Realm at the age of two thousand.

In his heart, the Crown Prince had planned to consider marriage only after reaching the Longevity Realm.

At the beginning, there was a girl who was betrothed to the Crown Prince from a young age. He married her when he entered the Longevity realm.

That girl was originally planned to become the queen by the old emperor.

However, just after the Crown Prince advanced to the Longevity Realm, he went out for a stroll and met Ning Qingxuan, who was still a little girl back then.

At such a young age, she had unparalleled talent and was already showing signs of breathtaking beauty. Quite bafflingly, she captured the heart of the Crown Prince.

From that day on, Crown Prince Liang Zhihuan announced that he would definitely marry Ning Qingxuan in the future and reserved the position of queen for her forever.

However, the Qingye Sect, which wanted to train Ning Qingxuan, poured cold water on the Crown Prince’s plan, saying that she wouldn’t marry anyone before entering the Longevity Realm.

But Liang Zhihuan told the Qingye Sect that he was willing to wait. As Longevity Experts, they had plenty of time. He would wait for Ning Qingxuan to grow up and advance to the Longevity Realm, then they could spend their lives together.

That’s how their engagement was decided.

After that, the Crown Prince did well. Besides the girl with whom he had been betrothed, he married no other women.

That concubine was also unfortunate. She only had one child with the Crown Prince after being married for several hundred years. After giving birth to the child, she died, leaving Liang Chen as their only son.

It was essentially Ning Qingxuan who raised Liang Chen.

However, after Ning Qingxuan reached the Longevity Realm and before she married the Crown Prince, the Hua Hua Taisui incident occurred.

This incident could be considered a scandal. The entire Nan Liang knew about the Crown Princess – her beauty surpassing even flowers.

Because of this, the Crown Prince made a decision.

He would wait again until most of the people who knew about the incident died, and after he had dealt with Hua Hua Taisui, then, he would finally hold their wedding.

Ning Qingxuan was indifferent to this decision and agreed to it.

This series of events showed the Crown Prince’s love for the Crown Princess, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen?

Although the Crown Princess had been photographed bathing before, she was still wearing some clothes, revealing only her figure and nothing else. However, this time was different – she was actually being held in someone’s arms!

The Crown Princess, whom the Crown Prince regarded as a forbidden treasure and didn’t allow other men to glance at her, was tightly held by another man. Although the incident happened abruptly, it was something the Crown Prince couldn’t bear!

Moreover, Liang Zhihuan had no way to deal with it right now, as the Crown Princess had entered the Spatial Turbulence with someone else, leaving him with nowhere to look for her.

The carriage was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, and the Crown Prince seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

Everyone in their hearts hoped that the Crown Prince wouldn’t lose his temper rashly since the Crown Princess was in such a precarious situation.

Liang Chen took a few deep breaths, “Find out who that man is! Try to connect to his Dimensional Universe. Someone had once predicted the Crown Princess’s fortune, and she has the face of great wealth and nobility. She definitely won’t fall halfway.”

Saying this, he turned to everyone present, “Today’s events must be kept secret. I don’t want to hear any gossip outside. Otherwise, even if I have to mobilize an entire nation, I won’t let the person who spread the rumors live!”

Everyone nodded their heads, thinking this would be for the best.

The Crown Prince looked at the new system once more, his tone cold enough to freeze water, “Get this thing out of my sight! I never want to see it again!”
