When Senior Winter Snow's hoarse voice resounded in the horizon, an uproar broke out and everyone couldn't help looking in Luo Li's direction with envious gazes.
No one expected that the Battle Emperor of the West Heaven Temple would personally issue a decree to confer Luo Li as the Holy Maiden of the West Heaven Temple. That position held an extraordinary position in the West Heaven Temple that was only inferior to the Battle Emperor. Even Elders like Senior Winter Snow would have to be respectful to her.
But while everyone was feeling envious, Luo Tianshen's face turned unsightly. Everyone knew that the Battle Emperor of the West Heaven Temple had a harem of three thousand beauties. Furthermore, the cultivation technique that he cultivated was called the Great Emperor's Internal Scripture, which allowed him to dual cultivate. Thus, the Battle Emperor was also a peerless figure.
In the past, Luo Tianshen had vaguely heard some news that the West Heaven Temple was interested in Luo Li. Back then, Luo Li's fame wasn't too prominent, but as she grew more outstanding and her reputation spread out, she probably entered the eyes of the West Heaven Temple.
Now that Luo Li had cultivated the Luo Shen Celestial Body, it was only a matter of time before she attracted the attention of the West Heaven Temple. But what caught Luo Tianshen by surprise was that they actually came so quickly.
In the West Heaven Continent and the other continents in the West Heaven Temple's territory, there were many beauties that dreamed of obtaining the favor of the Battle Emperor. After all, the Battle Emperor's strength and elegance could make many women infatuated.
None of the three thousand beauties in the Battle Emperor's harem were forced, they were all captivated by the Battle Emperor's charm.
However, Luo Tianshen knew that his granddaughter wasn't one of them …
With her pride, aside from the person she admired, even the Battle Emperor wouldn't fall for her.
Thus, she wasn't interested in anyone.
Hence, Luo Li probably wouldn't agree to become the Saintess of Battle Temple, whom others couldn't get even if they begged for it.
How could the Battle Emperor's decree be so easily rejected?
That was the ruler of the West Heaven Continent!
That was a Heavenly Supreme whose name resounded throughout the Great Thousand World!
While Luo Tianshen bitterly smiled, Mu Chen knitted his brows. Although he didn't know much about the West Heaven Battle Emperor, he could tell from Luo Tianshen's expression that the West Heaven Battle Emperor wasn't an ordinary person.
He vaguely guessed something.
"Haha, congratulations, Saintess. From today onwards, you're the West Heaven Temple's Saintess."
Senior Winter smiled and raised the golden scroll in his hand towards Luo Li. "Please accept the Battle Decree."
However, his actions did not receive any response. Luo Li lifted her pretty face, revealing a pair of glass-like eyes.
He stared at Winter Snow for a long time and said word by word, "I refuse."
When Luo Li's calm voice rang out, the entire world instantly fell silent. Countless people widened their eyes and looked at Luo Li in disbelief.
She actually refused the decree of the ruler of the West Heaven Continent?!
That was the decree of a Sky Supreme!
When Xue Lingzi, who was initially frightened by Senior Winter's words, heard Luo Li's words, his eyes flickered with joy in the depths of his eyes.
He would never have thought that this Luo Li.
How could he be so daring!
Senior Winter Snow was briefly stunned. He knitted his brows and said in a deep voice, "This is the Battle Emperor's decree.
Are you sure about the consequences of refusing? "
Facing Senior Winter's words, even Luo Li felt a great pressure. But in the end, she raised her head with pride and a lustre flashed in the depths of her eyes.
While Luo Li was bearing that kind of pressure alone.
A figure appeared beside her and disregarded the astonished gazes that filled the sky as he stretched out his hand and tightly held onto her slender and ice-cold hand.
It was naturally Mu Chen who held onto Luo Li's hand. He looked at Luo Li and the latter looked at him with a smile.
Rustle.
Their actions had caused a commotion in this region. At this moment, everyone finally understood that Mu Chen and Luo Li were a couple.
And Luo Li had clearly rejected the Holy Maiden's position because of Mu Chen.
Holding onto Luo Li's hand, Mu Chen raised his head and looked at Senior Winter Snow without any expression. "Since when does the Holy Maiden of the West Heaven Temple have to be forced?"
"Brat, there are some words that can't be spoken so casually!"
Senior Winter Snow's voice was solemn as a shocking Spiritual Energy pressure burst out from his body. At this moment, the heavens and earth had turned into a cold current that swept towards Mu Chen.
But when the cold current enveloped over, Datura appeared before Mu Chen with a dark lustre enveloping her body that was akin to a black hole that devoured the cold current.
She indifferently looked at Senior Winter Snow and ridiculed, "I can't even speak a word?
Is the West Heaven Temple so overbearing? "
Although the West Heaven Battle Emperor was a Heavenly Sovereign, she had followed the Heavenly Emperor for years and had seen many Heavenly Sovereigns. So she naturally wasn't afraid of the West Heaven Temple.
Senior Winter Snow's face turned dark as he stared at Datura. "It looks like you're intending to go against our West Heaven Temple?"
"So what if I am?" Datura wasn't afraid as she sneered with her head raised.
"Impudent!"
Senior Winter Snow was finally enraged as he hollered. In the next moment, he waved his hand and an ice star flew out. The temperature in this region was instantly sucked into that star and even the atmosphere had started to freeze.
"Buzz!"
The ice star had turned into a cold current and expanded. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a boundless ice star that descended from the sky and slammed towards Datura.
The might of that attack could truly destroy the heavens and earth.
"Hmph!"
Datura coldly snorted before she opened her mouth and a streak of light shot out, forming into a pyramid. It was the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid that Mu Chen had given her back then.
Whoosh!
The Starlight Demon Suppression Pagoda shook as it emitted countless rays of starlight. Those rays of starlight whistled out like a river of stars, covering the sky as they bombarded the ice crystal star, forcefully blasting it apart, turning it into ice crystals that drifted down from the sky.
Senior Winter Snow let out a muffled groan as he took a few steps back. His expression was extremely unsightly. Clearly, he had suffered quite a bit in this round of collision.
"Good, good!"
Senior Winter Snow's eyes widened with rage as he took a deep breath and respectfully held onto the golden scroll with both of his hands before biting his tongue and spurting a mouthful of blood essence onto the scroll.
Buzz!
Buzz! Along with the blood essence, the golden scroll burst out with a golden lustre that emanated a terrifying aura. It was an aura that stood above the heavens and earth, as if it was the ruler of this region.
Under that terrifying aura, anyone beneath the Earth Sovereign Realm had practically knelt down on the spot. It was so much so that they couldn't even raise their heads as their bodies trembled.
That's because they knew what that aura represented … In the entire West Heaven Continent, there was only one person that possessed that aura.
It was the ruler of the West Heaven Temple, the legendary West Heaven Battle Emperor!
Mandala's face turned grave at this moment. This scroll should be able to attract the Battle Emperor's spiritual image, but even if it's just a spiritual image, it still made her feel pressured.
Mu Chen could feel Luo Li's grip on his little hand tightening at this moment.
"Don't be afraid." Mu Chen gently said.
Turning her head over, Luo Li was a little shocked to discover that although Mu Chen's gaze was grave, there wasn't the slightest bit of panic. However, shortly after, she bitterly smiled and said in a serious tone, "If there's an opportunity, you can leave first."
"What about you?"
Luo Li lightly smiled. "In any case, I won't be the so-called Holy Maiden."
Looking at her smile, Mu Chen could see that she would rather die than become the Holy Maiden, since she was so prideful that she would use her life to pay for it.
"Luo Li …"
Staring at Luo Li, Mu Chen gently said, "Do you still remember what I said to you back then?"
"I said that I won't let anyone take you away from me the next time."
He stared at her glass-like eyes and said word by word, "Including the West Heaven Battle Emperor."
The West Heaven Battle Emperor might be powerful, but he wasn't without a way to restrain him.
Luo Li was stunned. She clearly had no idea why Mu Chen was so confident. However, she understood Mu Chen too well, and she knew that he wouldn't put up a strong front for no reason. Since he said that, then he must be confident.
This caused her tensed heart to finally relax a little.
"Looks like you've experienced a lot over the years."
Said Luo Li with a faint smile. Her elegant smile caused Mu Chen's eyes to light up. He had an uncontrollable urge to pull her into his embrace.
But in the end, he still endured it. He raised his head and squinted his eyes at the golden scroll. The golden light spread and a golden silhouette slowly appeared.
"Greetings, Emperor."
Senior Winter Snow looked at the golden silhouette that exuded a domineering aura and immediately knelt down and spoke respectfully.
The golden silhouette stood in the sky with his hands behind his back. He had dazzling golden hair and a handsome face. His deep eyes contained a powerful charm that made it hard for others to forget him.
However, the majestic aura that seemed to be above the heavens and earth that radiated from his body was the most attractive aspect of him.
Countless experts trembled under the pressure.
When the golden silhouette appeared, he looked at Luo Li and a majestic voice rumbled between the heavens and earth.
"Luo Li, are you really going to refuse?"
