Chapter 2477 - Leaving

Chapter 2477 Leaving
Whoosh!
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ke’Er vanished. When she reappeared, she was already standing by Duan Ling Tian’s side. She moved her delicate hands and held onto Duan Ling Tian’s arm as she hugged him, looking extremely happy.
The onlookers who had personally witnessed Ke’er effortlessly killing the two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials found it hard to accept her change in behavior. She was behaving so meekly in front of a man. They shifted their attention to Duan Ling Tian. He had become the focus of everyone’s attention due to his wife, Ke’er.

Duan Ling Tian…


Duan Ling Tian is already freakishly strong, how’s it possible that the beauty by his side is so strong as well?


His woman is obviously stronger than him. I wonder what he has to offer that a peerless beauty like her chose to be with him.


This lady is most likely a Celestial from a Devata Realm. Otherwise, it’s impossible for her to be so strong!


Could she be the reason why Duan Ling Tian possesses strength comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial despite being an Eminent Celestial?


That’s possible.

The onlookers could not help but discuss among themselves. The younger men were filled with jealousy, envy, and resentment when they looked at Duan Ling Tian.

Ke’er…
Duan Ling Tian knew Ke’er was still the same person he knew even though her strength had improved tremendously.

Brother Tian.
Ke’er leaned on Duan Ling Tian’s shoulder. When she looked at Duan Ling Tian, her eyes were filled with so much love as though he was the only one in her world.
The onlookers had a hard time believing this was the same person who had killed two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials earlier.

Ke’er, are you hiding something from me?
Duan Ling Tian asked gently as he patted Ke’er’s head as though no one was present. He had a strong feeling it was not easy for Ke’er to obtain this level of strength. It was likely not as simple as she had made it out to be.
Ke’er stiffened slightly when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s question. In the end, she revealed the truth to Duan Ling Tian since she could not bring herself to lie to him.

Burning the soul…
Although Ke’er had spoken about it lightly, Duan Ling Tian felt his heart ache. He knew how painful it was to burn one’s soul. He hugged her tightly when he found out about the grueling process of her obtaining her strength. He asked in a trembling voice,
Why are you so silly? What if something happens to you? What’s going to happen to Si Ling and me at that time?


Brother Tian, it’s not dangerous… I’m not so foolish as to give up on you and Si Ling just to increase my strength. The pain was bearable so I…

Duan Ling Tian interrupted Ke’er before she finished speaking.
No! Y-you… Why didn’t you tell me? I would never allow you to do it if I had known!


I-I just want to be stronger so I can help you. I don’t want to be useless, and I don’t want to be a damsel in distress who has to be saved,
Ke’er said softly in response to Duan Ling Tian’s domineering words.

Don’t say that! You’re not useless! We won’t have Si Ling without you. Moreover, I won’t be here today if it’s not because of you. I only pursue strength to protect you and our family,
Duan Ling Tian said, slightly agitated. He was slightly angry when he heard Ke’er words that were filled with self-doubts.

Brother Tian, I-I was wrong…
Although Ke’er was stronger than Duan Ling Tian, she still acted like a delicate young girl in front of Duan Ling Tian. Upon hearing the slight anger in his voice, she instantly became anxious.

Silly girl…
Looking at how meek Ke’er was, Duan Ling Tian’s anger faded away. Moreover, she had done this for his sake. If it were not for Ke’er, let alone Feng Tian Wu, Han Xue Nai, and the others, even he would have died today. He tightened his hold on her as though he wished to be one with her so they could stay together forever.
Silly, silly girl…


Brother Tian…
Ke’er returned Duan Ling Tian’s hug.
At this moment, the loving couple displayed their affections for each other as though there was no one present on the scene. Nobody dared to make a sound. They only watched silently, afraid of disturbing the couple. Who knew if the couple would kill them if they were displeased?
Some members from the Kraken Python Sect and Power Saint Sect were looking at the affectionate couple with hate-filled eyes. Even then, none of them dared to make a move. They would only be seeking deaths if they made a move. After all, that woman had effortlessly killed two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials!
No one noticed Gan Ru Yan who was standing at the distance. At this moment, her eyes flashed with jealousy as she looked at her sister, Ke’er. In the past, she had only felt envious of her sister. However, after being reproached by Duan Ling Tian when they came out from the location of the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, twisted jealousy began to raise its head in her heart. She thought to herself, unresigned, ‘We have the same parents, and we’re twins. Why is her life so much better than mine? Why is our fate so different?’ Although she was extremely jealous now, she was not driven to do anything extreme. As it was, she did not even dare to show her jealousy in front of others.
After some time, Han Xue Nai finally spoke up,
Brother Ling Tian, Sister Ke’er, it’s… We’re still here… More importantly, can I have Sister Ke’er back now, Brother Ling Tian?

As soon as Han Xue Nai spoke, Ke’er who was blissfully unaware earlier, turned red. Then, she shyly extricated herself from Duan Ling Tian’s arms.
Duan Ling Tian felt slightly unwilling to let Ke’er out of his arms. He said teasingly,
Xue Nai, you want to ask Ke’er about the method she used to rapidly increase her strength, right?
He knew he had gotten too caught up in the moment earlier and had unconsciously put on a show for everyone to watch.
Han Xue Nai laughed in embarrassment when Duan Ling Tian exposed her thoughts.
Ke’er felt embarrassed when she sensed the looks from Feng Tian Wu, Mu Yi Yi, and Gan Ru Yan. She quickly left Duan Ling Tian’s side and moved to Han Xue Nai. Since Duan Ling Tian treated Han Xue Nai like his younger sister, she also treated her the same way. She could not help but blush. She did not care about the onlookers’ opinion, but these were people she knew.
Duan Ling Tian who was also feeling discomfited by everyone’s stare quickly said,
Alright, we should leave now.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian and his companions left. People from Kun Mang Sect and Power Saint Sect heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this. After all, they were worried Duan Ling Tian would kill them for their ancestors’ actions. However, it seemed like they were overthinking.
‘I can’t believe I saw a cultivator who’s stronger than a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone! Based on her strength, she has to be a true Celestial. Moreover, she’s probably a Golden Celestial,’ a knowledgeable Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial thought to himself.
