Chapter 40 Nangong Nayue
Chapter 40 Nangong Nayue
What?
The body of the True Ancestor?
The last of the mission privileges was a surprise, even down to the exact time.
This is quite a huge benefit. In this world, the power of the True Ancestor is absolutely top-tier, and he can actually obtain the body of the True Ancestor for nothing.
What exactly is inside his brain that can grant him this ability?
But isn't he a god?
Are the two compatible?
Could the body of a true ancestor be more powerful than the body of a god?
Does he still need to obtain the body of the True Ancestor?
[The True Ancestor's body is merely power, and it originally belonged to you.]
"What?" Shi Chen exclaimed in surprise.
What do you mean by "it was originally his"?
Unfortunately, his questions remained unanswered; the entity in his mind ignored him and fell silent.
"Hey kid, what are you talking about?" Nangong Nayue asked again.
Shi Chen suppressed his doubts, looked at Nangong Nayue, and shook his head: "It's nothing."
"Really? That's not important. I'm asking you, why did you suddenly appear here...!"
Nangong Nayue was speaking when her delicate face suddenly turned serious, and she stared intently at the time.
Shi Chen naturally understood why she was acting this way. At this moment, his privilege manifested, and an unusual aura emanated from his body.
He could clearly feel changes in his body, making him stronger and more vibrant.
"This aura is... a vampire? An old generation? No, a true ancestor?! But how is that possible!" Nangong Nayue muttered to herself, staring at Shichen with suspicion and uncertainty.
Without any hesitation, a purple triangular magic circle appeared behind her, and then several chains shot out from the magic circle, attacking Shichen.
"Wait! Wait!"
Shi Chen never expected that Nangong Nayue would directly use the Chains of Discipline on him, even though he wasn't a heinous criminal.
He instinctively scrambled to avoid the first two chains that came at him, but there were more than two chains; two more came, coiling around him like long snakes.
This time, there was no escaping it; he was easily bound by the chains.
However, something miraculous happened. The moment the chains, glowing with purple light, touched him, they seemed to lose their vitality, the purple light dissipated, and they slid to the ground.
"What?" Nangong Nayue exclaimed in disbelief.
"Wait! Wait! Nazuki-chan, I'm not a bad person!" Toki quickly waved his hands to explain.
"You know me?" Nangong Nayue frowned, but did not attack him again.
"Uh... cough cough, who doesn't know the Witch of the Gap?" Shichen hurriedly made up an excuse.
"Really? Then why do you call me Nagatsuki-chan? Are we that close?" Nagatsuki continued her interrogation.
"Sorry, it's just a personal habit, mainly because you're so petite..."
"You said I'm petite?" Nangong Nayue said coldly, her eyes turning unfriendly.
"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm a 22-year-old adult woman. Are you even an adult yet? Wait, you're a vampire..."
"Twenty-two years old? That's definitely younger than me," Shi Chen laughed.
"Hmph!" Nangong Nayue crossed her arms and snorted coldly in displeasure.
"Um...can you come down and talk?" Shichen asked tentatively.
"Why should I come down?" Nangong Nayue asked in return.
"It's mainly from my angle..." Shi Chen reminded him hesitantly.
"Angle?" Nangong Nayue looked at herself in confusion, following his gaze from bottom to top, and she was wearing a Gothic Lolita dress.
"You bastard!" Nangong Nayue glared at Shichen and landed.
"Don't misunderstand, I didn't see anything, I just said that on purpose," Shi Chen explained.
From his perspective, he indeed saw nothing. Nangong Nayue's skirt was above her ankles, so unless Shichen was in line with her, it would be impossible for him to see her.
"Of course I know!" Nangong Nayue retorted loudly, sounding annoyed.
"Hehe~" Shi Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing familiar faces, familiar voices, even though we were complete strangers before, a feeling of warmth welled up in my heart, and it was truly satisfying.
Although Nangong Nayue felt no affection for him whatsoever, she directly attacked him.
However, the timing wasn't unacceptable, since he had a very high level of affection for her from the very beginning.
"What are you grinning about?" Nangong Nayue looked at him with disdain. Despite his short stature, he exuded a certain majesty.
"I'm asking you, how did you get here?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Shi Chen blinked, confused.
"Stop pretending. I know you used your spatial abilities to get here. I sensed you the moment you suddenly appeared."
"Oh, this..."
Shi Chen now understood why Nangong Nayue had suddenly appeared in front of him; he had indeed been absent from this space.
In that case, his treatment in this world is no different from before; he is still the first to come into contact with the fragments of divinity.
But it's actually Nangong Nayue! She can be both mature and cute, and she's even legal...
"Is it a familiar with spatial power? What are you doing in the Demon Realm Special Zone?" Nangong Nayue had no idea what Shichen was thinking and continued the interrogation.
"A familiar? No, I don't have that kind of power." Shichen shook his head in denial.
"Don't deny it, I can't hide the vampire scent on you."
"But I'm not a vampire," Shi Chen said, spreading his hands.
His divine body is compatible with the body of the True Ancestor, possessing the power of a vampire, but he is not a vampire.
"..." Nangong Nayue remained silent.
She did sense the power of a vampire in Shi Chen, but he was definitely not a vampire, which was illogical, yet he was right in front of her, making it hard for her not to believe it.
Moreover, he possessed the aura of a True Ancestor, yet he couldn't sense any magic power, and her chains of discipline had no effect on him.
The sudden arrival of such a being on Itogami Island made her uneasy.
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. Just pretend... just pretend I wandered in here by mistake, okay?"
Shi Chen tried to gain Nangong Nayue's trust, but she was no novice.
"Bad people never admit they are bad."
"Then are you a bad person?" Shi Chen immediately retorted.
"...I'm not a good person. Don't you know who I am? I'm a witch," Nangong Nayue replied calmly.
"So what if she's a witch? I don't care. As long as she's cute," Shichen said nonchalantly.
"?" Nangong Nayue looked at him, puzzled.
It looks like she was being teased?
This is the first time in my life.
What's wrong with this guy?
If the chains of discipline hadn't been ineffective, she would have simply tied him up and taken him away.
However, we cannot yet determine the other party's intentions, and it is not appropriate to provoke conflict if the methods are ineffective.
"...What exactly are you here for?"
"I really wandered in here by mistake," Shi Chen cried out, accusing himself of wrongdoing.
"Really? Then you'd better leave now, I won't stop you." Nangong Nayue didn't believe it at all.
"I can't go back."
"What do you mean?"
"You can think of me as someone who was transported here and lost my powers, and now I'm just an ordinary person with some skills."
"...Do you think I'm an idiot? An ordinary person wouldn't possess the aura of a True Ancestor, would they? What's your connection to the War King's domain?"
"It has absolutely nothing to do with it."
Nangong Nayue looked at him calmly; it was clear she didn't believe him.
"I'm telling the truth!" Shi Chen raised his hand and swore.
"So what exactly do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything. If possible, could you take me in?"
"Me? Take you in? Do you really think I'm stupid?" Nangong Nayue couldn't help but laugh.
"But you're worried about me here, aren't you?"
"......where u from?"
"Hmm...a great Eastern power?"
"Why are you asking me? Are you from China? Are there True Ancestors in China? Are you still lying to me? Could it be that you are the Fourth True Ancestor?" Nangong Nayue suddenly asked.
"You know about the Fourth True Ancestor? She has already appeared?" Shi Chen asked hurriedly.
This shouldn't be the case. It doesn't seem to match the timeline he just determined. At Nangong Nayue's current age, shouldn't the Fourth True Ancestor still be asleep?
"Her? You know the Fourth True Ancestor?" Nangong Nayue grasped the key point and asked in return.
"almost."
"What's your relationship with her?"
"I don't know him yet."
"..." Nangong Nayue glared at him unhappily. This guy was full of lies.
"Don't be angry. Tell me first, how do you know about the Fourth Ancestor?"
"The Night Elder of Flamelight... Isn't it normal to have heard of him?"
"So, the Fourth True Ancestor hasn't appeared yet?" Shi Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"What? You mean the Fourth True Ancestor is about to appear?"
"Yes." Shi Chen nodded; there was nothing to hide.
"..."
Nangong Nayue paused for a moment, then immediately questioned coldly, "Then what is your purpose? To help the Fourth True Ancestor be resurrected?"
If the person in front of me might be a True Ancestor and helps revive the Fourth True Ancestor, then that would be troublesome, as her chains of discipline are still ineffective against him.
Shi Chen laughed sheepishly and said, "Help the Fourth True Ancestor revive? No interest. I just want to settle down here."
