“The Earth Continent of the World of Near Celestials?”

Xiao Ru looked at Xu Que with a confused expression.

“Isn’t it so?”

Xu Que was nervous; in fact, his heart skipped a beat and was soon panicky. Did I hear it wrong before? Or is it that this place is also called Earth Continent, but it’s not the Earth Continent of the World of Near Celestials?

But the next moment, Xiao Ru nodded her head and said, “I didn’t say it’s not!” This is the Earth Continent of the World of Near Celestials, just that...how could you ask such a silly question? Oh no, Second Miss, come out and see this man. He has become stupid after your attack. You might need to be responsible for him all your life!”

As soon as Xiao Ru’s voice ended, another door squeaked opened, and a tall woman came out with a startled expression, “What’s going on?”

Then she saw Xu Que standing in the same spot, with a silly and joyous face, he was mumbling continuously, “Earth Continent, Earth Continent, it’s really Earth Continent!”

“Look, Second Miss, he seems to have really lost his mind after your hit. Just now, he asked if this is the Earth Continent of the World of Near Celestials!” Xiao Ru ran up to the tall woman and explained with great care.

When the tall woman listened and took a look at Xu Que again, she couldn’t help but feel a little panicked. She could guarantee that it was just an unplanned hit, and she really had no intention of hurting him. But who knew that the young man who was in his Half-Celestial Stage was so weak that he was instantly knocked out into an unconscious state. In the light of the current situation, what if he had really lost his sanity because of her? It’s impossible to really take him back and take care of him for a lifetime, right?

“This...this fellow cultivator, you...are you all right?” Finally, the tall woman probed Xu Que as she held out her palm and waved it gently in front of him.

However, Xu Que had already collected himself. Just now, he had experienced a mental journey from hope to despair, then from despair to surprise, then from surprise to despair, and finally rekindled his hope; he was overexcited in a short span and couldn’t help being overjoyed like a silly person.

Originally, he planned to resume his proud and cold demeanor, but when he heard the girl informing the Second Miss that she might need to be responsible for him for a lifetime, Xu Que immediately maintained his silly and happy look.

Be responsible for a lifetime, oh, such a great good thing, this fool is willing!

Immediately, Xu Que, with a silly smile, looked at the tall woman and said, “Heh, heh, sister, I want sweets. Sister, am I cute?”

“Yike, he’s so crude and disgusting!” Xiao Ru was frightened and had goosebumps all over instantly. With disgust on her face she said, “Second Miss, don’t bother asking, he has become silly after you beat him!”

“This...” The tall woman was all the more worried, full of distress, and ultimately all her worries came out in a sigh, “Alas, I can’t imagine that we are so low in luck. We have gone for several trips these few years, and we’ve not only failed to find an Equipment Forging Grandmaster, but also heavily injured an innocent person!”

“Second Miss, don’t say that. It’s not entirely your fault. Who asked him to pretend to be a Mountain Deity when he was so weak!” Xiao Ru immediately comforted her.

Now Xu Que was unhappy to hear that.

You can say that I’m silly or handsome, but you can’t say that I’m weak! Your Act-Tough Saint has killed someone in the Initial Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage, although it was a pseudo Earth Celestial Stage. How dare you two girls comment that I’m weak over here?

This is unbearable!

“Humph!”

Suddenly, Xu Que sneered, and he changed his expression. His previous silly demeanor vanished; it was as if he was a different person. He was annoyed and said, “Have you two had enough? Could you stop saying that I’m weak. Believe it or not, I can kill you both with one hand?”

“Uh?” Xiao Ru and the tall woman were startled by Xu Que’s drastic change. Instantly, they took a step back and put on their guard against Xu Que.

Xu Que was too lazy to put on an act again. He stared at them and said, “What are you looking at? Yes, I just lied to you, including before when I was knocked unconscious. I only have one question for you two, is my acting good?”

“You...pretended?” The tall woman was severely suspicious of him and expressed her doubts.

She could feel that Xu Que was really knocked unconscious by her. On the contrary, whether that dude had pretended to be silly or not, she couldn’t be sure!

“Yes, it was all a pretense!” Xu Que was stubborn and reluctant to admit that he was knocked out by the woman. After all, it was too much of a disgrace!

“Okay, then tell me, what did we talk about when we brought you here?” Just then, Xiao Ru asked tactfully.

Xu Que was tongue-tied. How the hell would I know what you were talking about?

But soon, after thinking about how worried the two women were earlier, he said, “What else could you two talk about? You two were worrying about what to do after knocking me out?”

“Ah! My God, Second Miss, he’s right. He really pretended to faint!” Xiao Ru exclaimed.

But the tall woman felt that something was amiss. Out of trust in her intuition, she looked at Xu Que and asked, “We had talked about other matters too. Is there anything else?”

“Others?”

Xu Que didn’t waste time in thinking before he gave his reply. He sneered and said, “What else could you talk about besides discussing my handsome looks? It’s all right. I’m used to it. You don’t have to feel embarrassed!”

“Uh...”

The tall woman and Xiao Ru’s expressions stiffened. “We didn’t!”

However, they already guessed that Xu Que really fainted just now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t need to blabber nonsense now. When he said that they were worried about his injury, it was possibly just his guesses! But Xu Que had exerted such a great effort in covering up his lies; they didn’t feel like exposing him.

The tall woman regained her cool and said lightly, “Fellow cultivator, since you look fine, let us send you away!”

“Good! But before I leave, I want to ask another question. Have you heard of Jade Lake?” Xu Que blinked his eyes.

Previously, he was sure that the Jade Lake wasn’t in the Xuanhuang Continent, so there were only two possibilities: Earth Continent and Heaven Continent. If the Earth Continent hadn’t heard of the Jade Lake, it would surely be in the Heaven Continent!

At that moment, he had hoped that the Jade Lake was in the Earth Continent, because it meant that he didn’t have to waste more time looking for ways to go to the Heaven Continent. He could find Jiang Hongyan and the rest quickly!

However, the confused expressions on the tall woman and Xiao Ru let Xu Que guess the correct answer.

“Sorry, fellow cultivator, we haven’t heard of Jade Lake after being in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm for so many years! The Earth Continent is too vast, maybe you should go to some other Celestial Realms to inquire about it!” The tall woman shook her head and said.

“Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm? And there are other Celestial Realms? This...isn’t the Earth Continent? What has it got to do with the Celestial Realms?” Xu Que was startled.

“Fellow cultivator, are you not from Earth Continent?” the tall woman exclaimed.

“I am, but I was beaten up by you a moment ago and I’m having a little amnesia now!” Xu Que replied as a matter of fact.

The tall woman was speechless. Just now, he denied that he was knocked unconscious. And now he claimed that he had amnesia from her attack. He had a silver tongue!

Just then, she was certain that she had a very intuitive and deep impression of Xu Que—he was undoubtedly a very shameless dude!
