Chapter 745 If you take down the woman with double pupils, won't you instantly become a supreme

"The grass on Tang San's grave is almost two meters tall now. Stop making fun of him all the time. You should spend that time studying alchemy and refining more high-quality pills for us in the future."

Zhu Chen rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan, his tone tinged with helplessness.

Xiao Yan chuckled, scratched his head, and said, "Big brother, I'm just trying to improve. You can't rush things like alchemy. Besides, the quality of my pills is already quite high, okay? Look how much my third brother enjoys them, don't you think?"

Zhu Chen shook his head, no longer wanting to dwell on the topic.

His gaze returned to the woman in the black robe.

The woman with double pupils seemed to notice his gaze as well, and turned her head slightly to meet his eyes for a moment through her veil.

Then, she reached out and gently lifted a corner of the veil, revealing a familiar, pretty face.

She really is a woman with double pupils.

Zhu Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing an innocent-looking smile.

The woman with double pupils closed her veil, flashed out from the crowd, and arrived in front of Zhu Chen in a few steps.

Her steps were light, as if she were walking on clouds, and she was surrounded by a faint ethereal aura that made people afraid to look directly at her.

The surrounding cult leaders all turned to look, and some recognized her, exclaiming in low voices, "That's... the woman with double pupils? The legendary one?"

"Why is she here? Is she also here for the Immortal Ancient Ruins?"

"Does she know Zhu Chen?"

The murmurs resumed, but no one dared to step forward and disturb them.

The woman with double pupils stood in front of Zhu Chen, looking at him calmly, her eyes filled with a complex emotion.

Zhu Chen spoke first, smiling as he asked, "Why have you been hiding in the crowd and not coming out to acknowledge me? Don't you consider me a friend?"

The woman with double pupils remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "It's not that I don't want to, but that I dare not. The karma between us is already too deep. If we continue to entangle ourselves, we will likely sink deeper and deeper. On the path of cultivation, the most taboo thing is to be entangled in karma. I shouldn't have come to see you again, but..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

Zhu Chen couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this: "If you didn't want to get involved, why are you taking the initiative to greet me now? Isn't that a contradiction?"

The woman with double pupils looked at him, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes: "Some things have already happened, and thus cause and effect have been created. Even if I want to hide, I cannot escape them. Rather than running away, it is better to go with the flow and follow the way of heaven, which is the essence of cultivation."

Zhu Chen nodded, stopped teasing, and asked seriously, "Now that you've returned to the Upper Realm, what are your plans? A great calamity is approaching, and neither of us can remain uninvolved."

The woman with double pupils sighed softly, gazing into the distance: "A great calamity is approaching. With my current cultivation level, I am far from being able to protect myself during that calamity. After this Immortal Ancient Secret Realm ends, I will return to seclusion to attempt to break through to the Supreme Realm, the pinnacle of the Human Path. If I succeed, perhaps there will still be some hope; if not... then I can only leave it to fate!"

Zhu Chen frankly said, "With your talent, reaching the Supreme Realm shouldn't be a problem. However, the scale of the Great Tribulation far exceeds our imagination. Your strength alone is ultimately limited."

The woman with double pupils pondered for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject, looking at Zhu Chen and asking, "Zhu Chen, I have a request."

Zhu Chen's gaze sharpened slightly: "You said..."

The woman with double pupils said, "Shi Yi is now my disciple. He settled his grudges with Shi Hao in the lower realm. Now he has come to the upper realm to pursue a higher path. I am unable to take care of him during my seclusion. I hope you can give him some guidance in cultivation. This child has extremely high talent, but he is arrogant and prone to extremes. With your guidance, I will feel more at ease."

Zhu Chen shrugged and said, "Shi Yi is a top-tier fighter among the younger generation of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have nurtured him properly. Besides, he is now your disciple, so I naturally won't stand idly by. You can go into seclusion with peace of mind and leave Shi Yi's affairs to me."

A hint of gratitude flashed in the woman's eyes: "Thank you..."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Seeing this, Zhu Chen quickly called out to her, "Wait."

The woman with double pupils paused, turned around, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Zhu Chen looked into her eyes and said earnestly, "If you still haven't reached the Supreme Realm when the great calamity comes, don't be afraid. I can protect you."

The woman with double pupils narrowed her pupils slightly, a look of disbelief flashing in her eyes.

She had lived for countless years, seen countless geniuses, and heard countless vows of eternal love, but no one had ever said such words to her.

In this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, everyone only cares about their own life and death. Who would be willing to protect others?

Even if it exists, it's only superficial.

If faced with a life-or-death crisis, who wouldn't think of themselves first?

"you……"

The woman with double pupils opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Zhu Chen smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not confessing my feelings to you. I just think you're a friend worth having. Isn't it normal for friends to protect each other?"

The woman with double pupils remained silent for a long time before finally nodding slightly, saying nothing more, and turning to leave.

The woman with double pupils gradually disappeared into the crowd.

But Zhu Chen knew that his words must have stirred up a storm in the other person's heart.

When flirting with a cold and aloof woman, sometimes you can't be too direct. Start by being friends, and then slowly trick her into bed. That's the right way to do it!

"Big brother..."

At this moment, Xiao Yan leaned closer and asked with a wink, "Are you interested in her? Otherwise, why would you say something like that? 'I can protect you'... Tsk tsk, those words almost moved me to tears."

Zhu Chen slapped him irritably: "Stop talking nonsense. I just think that someone like the Double-Pupiled Woman shouldn't perish in the great calamity. I should help her if I can."

"I understand, I understand, I understand everything..."

Xiao Yan chuckled and didn't press the matter further.

Yang Qi looked in the direction the woman with double pupils had left and said, "Brother Zhu, this person has a profound aura. He is probably only one step away from the so-called Supreme Realm. If you can break through, he will definitely become a great help to you."

Zhu Chen smiled and said, "That's why I'm helping her. A great calamity is approaching, and having more friends means having more chances of survival..."

Xiao Yan interjected, "Brother, I actually think you should just go for it. Don't you have that 'Many Children, Many Blessings' system? If you win her over, you'll immediately gain all of her cultivation. That's a win-win situation. Besides, that woman with double pupils isn't bad-looking either. I don't believe you don't have that idea..."

"Shut up!"

Zhu Chen turned around and glared at him fiercely: "Some things are better left unsaid. Why are you saying them out loud?"

Xiao Yan laughed heartily: "I understand, I understand..."

Zhu Chen: "You don't know anything!"

Yang Qi: ? ? ?
