Chapter 580 - 283: Chen Sheng, Are You Very Pleased With Yourself Now?

Chapter 580: Chapter 283: Chen Sheng, Are You Very Pleased With Yourself Now?

In the blink of an eye.

Half a day passed in an instant.

Inside the Golden Spring Cave Mansion, the exhausted and weakened Princess Consort Xiangyang suddenly raised her head, her eyes flying open. She broke free from Chen Sheng’s grasp, then quickly retreated several steps and spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

"COUGH!!!"

Yu Nanzhi felt like retching, sensing she had suffered a significant injury.

Her recent "negotiation" with Chen Sheng had shown her just how tenacious he was; she had been pushed to her absolute limit before managing to gain a slight upper hand.

It had forced him to give up a few things.

Of course, she had paid a price for it as well.

Although she had gained the upper hand in their negotiation after a long stalemate, relying on her sharp tongue...

...every time she recalled the recent scene, it filled her with shock and fury. Retching, she quickly took out some Spirit Water to rinse her mouth.

"Actually, the things I just gave you are comparable to Spirit Medicine. Your Highness has no need to take it so hard."

Lounging in the Spirit Pool, Chen Sheng lazily advised the exhausted yet utterly defiant Princess Consort Xiang.

This wasn’t just Chen Sheng spouting nonsense.

Every word he said was true.

His own Cultivation was exceptionally high. Moreover, he possessed the Dragon-Singing Celestial Cicada, a Dragon Yang Gu King. Under its constant, subtle influence, Chen Sheng was truly far from ordinary.

And at the thought of his recent negotiation with this Princess Consort Xiangyang, Chen Sheng felt a pleasant sensation spread through his entire body.

Although he had been narrowly bested after a half-day stalemate and forced to give some things up, Chen Sheng had parted with them willingly.

After all, it was a necessary step to achieve his goal.

Yu Nanzhi shot Chen Sheng a vicious glare, then whipped her head back around. She quickly began to circulate the True Essence in her body to heal her injuries.

Seeing that she remained silent, Chen Sheng grew a little more interested and curious:

"Princess Consort, who is stronger, Prince Xiang or I?"

Although Chen Sheng hadn’t fought a real, no-holds-barred battle with this Princess Consort Xiangyang, they could still be said to have clashed.

This was especially true when he saw the prominent name on the Princess Consort Xiangyang’s body.

It made Chen Sheng even more curious.

’What is that Prince Xiang like?’

It was a pity this Princess Consort had not let him have his way, being only willing to "spar" and engage in a battle of tongues. Otherwise, Chen Sheng would have loved to truly battle her.

To probe the depths of this exceptionally beautiful Princess Consort Xiangyang.

Yu Nanzhi clenched her fists and said coldly:

"Prince Xiang is ten times stronger than you!"

Hearing this, Chen Sheng sneered:

"Impossible."

"Ten times, even dozens of times!"

Yu Nanzhi repeated.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Chen Sheng didn’t believe a word of it.

Although he had heard this Prince Xiangyang was quite powerful, he knew that he, Mr. Chen, was no pushover. He practiced Dual Cultivation of Body and Spirit, and his strength was astonishing.

Moreover, he had since refined the Dragon-Singing Celestial Cicada, a Marvelous Insect of Heaven and Earth, making him even more extraordinary.

The abundance of his Yang Qi far exceeded the scope of the Profound Mastery realm.

This was a point that both Sun Yuzhi and Lan Yufei, who had clashed with Chen Sheng before, knew full well.

How could Prince Xiangyang possibly be ten or even dozens of times stronger than him?

During his clash with Princess Consort Xiangyang just now, he could clearly see that although she appeared calm from beginning to end, some of her moves and techniques were very unpracticed.

It was absolutely impossible for things to be as she claimed.

"Believe it or not."

Forcing her voice to remain calm and not wanting to waste any more time on the matter, Yu Nanzhi took a deep breath and said:

"I’ve already compromised and let you do what you wanted. Don’t you forget what you promised!"

For the sake of the Xiangyang Prince’s Mansion, for the sake of the Yu Clan.

She had agreed to Chen Sheng’s unreasonable demand for a "sparring session."

But it was all under duress.

Thus, even now, she still showed obvious resistance.

"What did I promise you?"

Chen Sheng looked at her, feigning surprise, and spoke.

Seeing Chen Sheng’s shameless denial, Yu Nanzhi was utterly incensed.

"Chen Sheng... you... you have no honor!"

’She never would have thought.’

’That Chen Sheng would actually go back on his word!’

’Although she hadn’t helped him open his acupoints, she had still paid a heavy price—she’d even coughed up essence blood for it! How could he... how could he be so devoid of honor?’

In that moment, Yu Nanzhi was overcome with rage and resentment.

"Princess Consort, calm your anger."

Chen Sheng held up a hand placatingly.

"I am genuinely curious, what did I promise you just now?"

He hadn’t promised a thing.

Even when this Princess Consort Xiangyang was "sparring" with him, he had been completely passive the entire time. At most, he had merely used some techniques to hold her head in place.

"Chen Sheng, you’re shameless!"

The Princess Consort Xiangyang flew into a rage.

It was true that Chen Sheng hadn’t verbally promised anything just now.

The problem was, he had implied it!

In fact, it was practically a blatant, undisguised hint.

If not for that, how could she possibly have compromised?

"You clearly promised me! That as long as I... I was willing... you would drop the matter in Chen County! And now you’re just going to deny it? Where is your honor? Where is your shame?!"

Yu Nanzhi glared at Chen Sheng, her arms trembling slightly.

This was partly because Chen Sheng had infuriated her, and partly due to the injuries left from their "clash."

Chen Sheng just smiled, offering no defense. He simply reached out to a nearby stone wall, plucked off a fist-sized stone as smooth as a mirror, and said:

"This is a Memory Stone. It has recorded your every word and action since you entered the cave mansion, Princess Consort. How about we review it together? If Mr. Chen promised you anything...

...I will certainly honor it and not go back on my word.

After all, as everyone knows, Mr. Chen is a man who keeps his promises."

"You... you... you used a Memory Stone!"
