I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos

Chapter 135: Crossing The Celestial Mountain Range

Empress, why do you look like this Su Zhan was a bit surprised when she approached. He smiled and said, "Empress, I thought you were busy with state affairs and wouldn't come."

"A pile of miscellaneous matters, what's to be busy about that?" The Empress pouted, standing in front of Su Zhan. She had rehearsed many times what she wanted to say, but now she couldn't get the words out.

For a moment, the two faced each other, not knowing what to say. The atmosphere became a bit awkward.

"Cough, Empress, thank you for seeing me off. If there's nothing else to say, then"

"Wait!"

Seeing Su Zhan about to turn and leave, the Empress spoke, "How long will you be away from the eastern region?"

"I don't know, it might take a long time!"

The Empress slightly turned her head, gazing at the boundless Celestial Mountain Range, with a touch of yearning, "I heard that beyond eastern region is an incredibly vast world. If I break through to the Fish-Dragon Realm, I might also choose to venture out."

"I've replicated a copy of the map of the safe route from Chen Jue and left it at Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect. When the day comes, you can go there and get a copy."

"Thank you, Lord Su. However, that day might take a long time, and even if I leave eastern region, I might not be able to meet you again."

Speaking softly, the Empress took a deep breath and opened her arms, her face slightly blushing, "Years may pass, or we may never meet again. If Lord Su doesn't mind, could we embrace each other in farewell?"

"This" Su Zhan hesitated.

The Sect Master said that the Empress had never even held hands with a man, so how could she ask for this now? Moreover, wouldn't this damage her reputation? It didn't seem appropriate.

While he was still hesitating, the Empress had already leaned in.

Feeling the soft and fragrant body of the Empress pressed closely against him, Su Zhan was momentarily dazed.

Then, he felt the Empress's cheek against his cheek, and her red lips gently touched his ear, whispering in a voice as delicate as a feather's caress: "Before I came, I had already decided to throw caution to the wind, even if it meant losing face or embarrassing myself. In any case, Lord Su, you can't refuse."

Su Zhan placed his hands on the Empress's waist, feeling a bit speechless. After being forcibly kissed, now he was being forcibly embraced?

Fate was indeed quite cruel (benevolent)!

Sighing inwardly, Su Zhan magnanimously said, "It's okay, Empress. Even if you do something more excessive to me now, I will silently endure it."

"You!" The Empress blushed, releasing Su Zhan all at once.

Su Zhan was somewhat surprised.

He thought the Empress would increase her efforts, but now she seemed no different from a shy girl who had never been in a relationship.

With his arms now empty, Su Zhan felt a hint of regret.

"I've done what I wanted to do. Now, I wish Lord Su all the best, and I will often think of you." Taking a step back, the blush on the Empress's face gradually faded, and she returned to her extremely aloof demeanor, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Mmm, I won't forget you either, Empress." Su Zhan nodded, just about to turn around, when he heard the Empress's somewhat reluctant voice from behind.

"When we meet again, I will have already given up everything related to Flower Moon Kingdom. At that time, please don't call me Empress anymore." The Empress spoke softly, "I have a name, it's Ye Qingyu."

"Alright."

Su Zhan replied, without looking back, and headed towards the vast Celestial Mountain Range.

One day later.

Su Zhan swiftly moved through the Celestial Mountain Range according to the map, already traversing more than half of it.

"It's strange. After crossing the central line of the Celestial Mountain Range, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually became denser. The spiritual energy here should be nearly twice as abundant as in the general areas of eastern region!" After continuous high-speed travel for a day, Su Zhan was feeling a bit tired. He slowed down and sensed the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, his eyes filled with curiosity.

During this day, following the map given by Chen Jue, he encountered quite a few demonic beasts, but the strongest one was just a first-level transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, easily defeated with a single punch.

The journey was smooth and unimpeded.

As he continued forward for some distance and left the core dangerous area of the Celestial Mountain Range, where he no longer had to worry about attracting a large number of powerful demonic beasts and birds, he could fly in the air and accelerate to leave the Celestial Mountain Range.

After leaving the Celestial Mountain Range, resting for a day to restore himself to the best condition, he would head to the Sole Sword Sect.

As for the location of the Sole Sword Sect, according to what Chen Jue had said, it was such a large sect that it should be easy to inquire about its whereabouts from other people, right? With this thought in mind, Su Zhan continued on his way.

Another half day passed.

He opened the map and checked it. He was now at the edge of the Celestial Mountain Range, basically having safely traversed through it.

Relieved, Su Zhan put away the map. He was about to release the Divine Wind Boat to leave this mountainous area and find a town to rest for a while when suddenly, he heard a cry for help.

It sounded like the voice of a little girl.

Soon after, there was also the roar of a demonic beast.

Su Zhan's gaze sharpened, and with a flick of his feet, the Wind God Boots glowed brightly as he instantly disappeared from his original position. In no time, he arrived several miles away, within a bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest was in a mess, with bamboo shoots lying all over the place, some already turned into fragments. Ahead, a little girl was wielding a long sword, fighting against a ferocious beast that looked like a tiger. She was struggling to defend herself while shouting for help.

Seeing the critical situation, Su Zhan pointed his index finger, and a fine sword qi shot out from his fingertip, instantly arriving and slashing the ferocious beast.

"Boom!"

The next moment, without any warning, the body of the ferocious beast split in half from the waist and fell to the ground with a loud crash.
