In the past, Shen Youling's insight wouldn't have been keen enough to recognize Jiang Mulu wearing a mask. But that was then. Since becoming a Cultivator—even though she was still in the Qi Cultivation Stage and had yet to reach Foundation Establishnt—she was vastly different from an ordinary person. With her excellent mory, she retained a very deep impression of Jiang Mulu, whom she had only seen once and interacted with for a brief ti. Closing her eyes, she could vividly recall the defiant girl's image. When she compared that to the princess in the video…
She looks so similar! It has to be the sa person! It's a ninety-nine percent match! But that can't be right! How could Lin Tang's childhood friend possibly be a princess?! Forget that Lin Tang was only impersonating that Lin Family orphan, Lin Tianyang. Even if he really were Lin Tianyang, he wouldn't be qualified to grow up with our Central Earth Princess, would he? The Lin Family, despite its profound heritage, couldn't possibly have had ties to the Supre and the princess… The logic is simple. If Lin Tianyang's Lin Family had been connected to the Supre, they wouldn't have been annihilated so easily back then. Doesn't the Supre have his reputation to consider?! After thinking it over and over, I still think it must just be a resemblance. A coincidence. They can't be the sa person.
At that mont, the door clicked open. A mont later, she heard Lin Tang call out.
"Honey, are you asleep?"
"Not yet. You're back just in ti. Co take a look at this," Shen Youling said, a strange expression on her face.
"What is it?"
Lin Tang, who had already perceived the situation with his Divine Sense, feigned ignorance as he walked over, looking both bewildered and curious. When he saw the video clearly, he feigned surprise.
"Wow, is this our mysterious Central Earth Princess? I can't believe she's been revealed. Why is she wearing a mask, though? All secretive and hidden, how la!"
Like many other netizens, Lin Tang also put on a look of disappointnt.
"Really?" Shen Youling stared intently at his face, asking with feigned indifference, "Don't you think she looks familiar? Like you've seen her sowhere before?"
"Hm?" Lin Tang slid closer to sit beside her, draping an arm over her shoulder while carefully examining Her Highness in the video. "Doesn't ring a bell. Don't tell you know her?"
"I don't know her either," Shen Youling said, shaking her head. She couldn't find a single flaw in Lin Tang's words or actions.
I'm really overthinking things! she chided herself silently.
Just then, Jiang Mulu had finished her long speech. The summary was simple: she was sick. With the current overall level of dical science, her illness was incurable. She could die any day and had no hope of living a long life.
anwhile, Long Tianji, as the Martial Arts Battle God, could no longer be judged by ordinary standards. Not only was his strength extraordinary, allowing him to fly through the heavens and burrow into the earth, but his lifespan was also far longer than that of a normal person. He was guaranteed to live at least one hundred and fifty years, and it wouldn't be strange at all if he lived to be two hundred.
By this calculation, she was actually much "older" than him. She would die while he was still in the pri of his life. The accusation of an old man robbing the cradle simply didn't hold water.
Upon hearing this, the netizens fell silent, many showing expressions of heartache.
"My god! Our lovely and beautiful princess is suffering such a tragic fate? What kind of illness is it? Why is it so cruel?"
Others were simply shocked. So, practicing martial arts could lead to Transcendence and even significantly extend one's life! They had always thought that with the prevalence of modern weaponry, martial arts had long since withered away. The so-called martial arts masters were mostly frauds—after all, no matter how great your martial arts are, you still fear a kitchen knife! Unexpectedly, while countless people scoffed at martial arts, soone had been quietly cultivating, only to stun the world.
"Is it too late for us to start learning martial arts now?"
"We implore State Preceptor Long to co forward and teach us true martial arts!"
"I think I'm a once-in-a-century martial arts prodigy; I just never had the chance to get into it… If only State Preceptor Long would accept as his disciple!"
For a ti, the thought of learning martial arts sparked in many people's minds. They wanted to extend their lives, gain power, and better protect themselves in the great calamity to co.
As for Long Tianji's relationship with the princess, many netizens gradually ca to accept it. That's right! If Long Tianji could live to be two hundred, then even if the princess weren't sick and lived to be a hundred, she would be gray-haired and old while State Preceptor Long was still in his pri. This led so to start gossiping again, debating whether Long Tianji would still love the princess then. They were worried he might love her and leave her.
Back at Lin Tang's ho, Shen Youling was also quite emotional after hearing Jiang Mulu's words. It was unexpected that soone of such noble birth could have such inescapable sorrows. She beca even more convinced that the princess could not be Lin Tang's childhood friend.
Even a War God-level Martial Artist has a greatly limited lifespan. Cultivators like are the truly impressive ones; once our cultivation is high enough, we are guaranteed centuries of freedom and bliss… The thought flashed through Shen Youling's mind, carrying a sense of superiority, but she also sighed internally. In a few decades, Lin Tang will be a frail old man while I'll still be young. How will we face each other then? But I'm thinking too far ahead. Who can say what the future holds? I could even be killed in this Underworld invasion…
She shook her head, dispelling the stray thoughts. Just as she was about to get up, Lin Tang's hands began to wander.
"What are you doing?" Shen Youling was speechless. Why is this guy so frivolous? We agreed he could only perform the rites of husband and wife with when he needed Dual Cultivation for a breakthrough. He used to stick to that agreent, but now he's getting more and more brazen!
Just as Shen Youling was about to protest sternly, Lin Tang whispered hotly against her earlobe, "Hehe, honey, I have good news. I'm about to have another breakthrough, so I was hoping you could help out."
