Chapter 1272: Chapter 1277: Even Calling Me Mom Won’t Help

"Dragon Marrow Seed!"

Venerable Lianjing looked surprised: "You even have this ancient artifact thought to be extinct."

"I really underestimated you."

Still thinking of luring Jiang Fan to Young Emperor Mountain with resources.

As it turns out, he doesn’t need any of that.

Saying she wants to support Jiang Fan, in the end, she just helps him hone his foundation.

She no longer insists on Jiang Fan returning to Young Emperor Mountain.

But the care she should provide, she still will, feeling Jiang Fan’s Thunder Path, she said:

"It’s a pity that the Thunder Power on me was given to that little liar!"

"You continue to break through here, I’ll find him and get the Thunder Power back for you."

After spending five or six days together, Venerable Lianjing hadn’t discovered the truth, and Jiang Fan had already relaxed.

He lightly turned his eyes and said, "Lady Venerable, as they say, enemies are better resolved than kept."

"Can you tell me in detail how this person is so detestable?"

Rarely does Jiang Fan ask proactively, Venerable Lianjing thought for a moment and didn’t hide anything, explaining the situation in detail.

Jiang Fan asked, "Lady Venerable, are you angry that he spoiled your plans?"

Venerable Lianjing shook her head: "Partly, but not to the point of hating him."

"He opposed me to protect Venerate Wutong, to be honest, that part is rather admirable."

"With such little cultivation, he dared to block my sword with his body."

"What if the Great Sage’s Law failed?"

Jiang Fan was puzzled: "Then what are you mad at him for?"

Venerable Lianjing’s face turned slightly cold: "I’m mad at myself, for being totally fooled by a junior!"

"He lied to me saying he was some nephew of Venerate Wutong, and I believed him, even giving him all the Thunder Power on me."

"I feel like my intelligence was insulted by him!"

Recalling her test of Jiang Fan, whether he knew the news of the Heavenly Realm, Jiang Fan spoke so convincingly.

He even made her believe it completely.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

Jiang Fan rubbed his nose and said, "Well... I think, he did so out of necessity."

"As a junior with a Five Apertures Nascent Soul, he walked cautiously into the Forbidden Land as promised."

"Suddenly, a venerable as beautiful and powerful as you appeared, how could he not be scared?"

"To protect himself, he had no choice but to concoct a fake identity."

"In truth, he wasn’t malicious."

Venerable Lianjing was amused by him and tapped his forehead:

"Little thing, you really are glib-tongued!"

"I’m in my forties, and you insincerely praise me as beautiful."

"Those Demon Cultivators gossiping about you and the girl in the black dress weren’t wrong!"

Although she said this, much of the anger on her face dissipated.

No matter the age, hearing oneself called beautiful is never unwelcome.

"Fine, for your sake, I won’t trouble him."

"As long as he returns the Thunder Power."

Jiang Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, having defused a huge crisis for himself.

He clasped his hands and said, "Lady Venerable, your magnanimity will keep you youthful."

Venerable Lianjing couldn’t take Jiang Fan’s words and said, "Stop calling me ’sister,’ I’m old enough to be your mother."

"Save your flattery for sweet-talking those girls."

"I’m leaving now, to find him."

Jiang Fan hesitated a bit and asked, "Lady Venerable, do you know where he is?"

Venerable Lianjing huffed: "How hard can it be?"

"That little liar took my Thunder Power, even if he runs to the ends of the earth, he can’t escape!"

"Today, I’ll give him a lesson."

"Let him understand that a Venerable’s belongings are not easily taken!"

Jiang Fan felt a pang of dread.

He suddenly remembered True Word Venerable falling down from the Heavenly Realm.

Even across vast spaces, they could pinpoint him precisely.

And the reason was that True Word Venerable had given Jiang Fan a life-saving Lotus flower!

A cold sweat slid down Jiang Fan’s forehead.

He wanted to stop her but it was too late.

Venerable Lianjing closed her eyes slightly, beginning to perceive.

In the next moment.

She opened her eyes quickly and slowly looked at Jiang Fan.

Her eyes filled with doubt.

When she noticed the Mysterious Demon Liquid on Jiang Fan’s face.

The doubt turned into suspicion, then astonished realization, until a furious understanding dawned.

Finally, she laughed in extreme anger.

Her teeth were clenched tightly, making a grinding noise, and she uttered in a voice chilling:

"Haha! Hahaha!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"No wonder, no wonder!"

"No wonder the little liar praised the mover of the Connecting Sky Black Pillar as handsome, brilliant, graceful, highly skilled, and beloved!"

"No wonder you covered for the little liar, spoke well of him, and asked me to spare his life."

"So, you are the little liar!"

Crunch!

She clenched her fists, sparks shooting from her eyes.

"Fooling me once in the Forbidden Land wasn’t enough, apparently."

"Here you continue to deceive, tricking me into helping you stabilize your foundation, tricking me into finding Thunder Power for you, tricking me into forgiving you!"

"And I, like a fool, was fooled by you once again!"

"Jiang Fan!!!"

"I’ll kill you!!!"

Venerable Lianjing was so angry she trembled, frenzied, and screamed!

Jiang Fan swallowed hard and said urgently, "Lady Venerable, calm down!"

Hearing this, Venerable Lianjing grew even angrier!

It was Jiang Fan’s constant ’Lady Venerable’ that had allowed him to deceive her once more!

She couldn’t help but scream, "Even if you called me ’mother,’ it wouldn’t work!"

Jiang Fan quickly changed his approach: "Hey! Mother! It’s me, Jiang Fan!"

The word "mother" stopped Venerable Lianjing in her tracks.

Then she became even angrier and scolded, "You shameless scoundrel!"

"Die!"

Jiang Fan’s heart raced, and he shouted urgently, "Wait! I still have the Sage’s Engraving!"

"Dare to make a move, and we’ll perish together!"

He wasn’t bluffing.

The Heavenly Eye Sage had left a permanent engraving in Jiang Fan’s body.

He didn’t know what was engraved.

Or whether it could save his life.

But right now, it was his only bargaining chip.

The furious Venerable Lianjing finally calmed down a bit.

Indeed!

The rascal before her was no ordinary person.

He previously manifested the Sage’s Life-saving Law.

Who could say he didn’t have a second one?

Seeing her slightly calm down, Jiang Fan seized the opportunity and said, "Venerable Lianjing, I still stand by what I said."

"It’s better to resolve our grievances than to deepen them."

"If you’re still upset, I’ll return the Thunder Power to you."

"How about it?"

Is this really about the Thunder Power?

It’s about being deceived twice by this scoundrel!

Venerable Lianjing said coldly, "No deal!"

Jiang Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Then how about I compensate you with another Magical Treasure gifted by the Silver Apricot Tree?"

Hmm?

Venerable Lianjing was moved; had that dead tree given all its Merit to Jiang Fan?

"What is it?" she asked sternly.

Jiang Fan took out a piece of ice, which encased a heart-shaped copper lock.

Venerable Lianjing was greatly disappointed.

But she wouldn’t refuse what was given.

After all, it was a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, and if used by Venerate Wutong, it must be extraordinary!

Best to get it first and evaluate later!

Her gaze shifted, and she said:

"Fine, give it to me and our grievances will be resolved."
