Chapter 1497 1497: Luring

　　On the one hand, everyone stepped inside the maze of death from the White Tiger Clan, while on the other hand, there was a group of three which came out of a portal in a different part of the world. 

The Demon Princess arrived in the land of the Black Tortoise Clan, appearing far away from the main city. 

As the main city had more defenses, it was hard to teleport there without being caught. On the other hand, this place was comparatively easier, even though it was also going to alert the guards. 

”Let’s get going. We need to go as far away from this place as possible for now, before the guards arrive.” The woman informed Long Chen as she started rising in the air. 

”Wait!” Long Chen called out, stopping her. 

The woman stopped and glanced back at Long Chen. “What? Do you want to die here?”

”Why would I want that? What I’m saying is that we don’t need to run.” Long Chen smiled. 

”Why not? Do you want us to be caught? Either you come with me, or I’ll kill you, extract your memories and go alone. You decide!’

’This girl… She certainly has a nice temper. But she doesn’t know that the real Long Chen isn’t here. If she finds out before I tell her, she’s going to kill me. But I also can’t let her live in her illusion and delay my main mission. I need to handle this with care.’ 

Long Chen looked up at the woman. “As soon as I stepped on this land, I received a new batch of memories…” Long Chen answered. “The memories of that guy. That’s why I’m saying we don’t need to run.”

”What memories?” The woman frowned. 

”Apparently, he isn’t here. He is in the White Tiger Realm now,” Long Chen answered. 

”You!!! Why didn’t you tell me before? We came here for no reason! We can’t even go back before time! You wasted my time!” The woman was so enraged that her aura was pushing down on Long Chen. 

Long Chen struggled really hard to stay standing just because he didn’t want to fall to his knees before the lady he wanted for himself. 

”My lady, it’s not my fault! As we aren’t the same person, the memories aren’t shared instantly. I only share a soul fragment with him, so I get his memories late! I just got them as I came here. It’s not just you who didn’t know, but I didn’t know either. However, you don’t need to worry about anything. Maybe that’s for the good as well!” Long Chen exclaimed. 

”For the good? What do you mean?” The lady asked, frowning. “How is this for the good? Literally, so much of my time is wasted because of you!”

”My lady, you don’t realize how important this is for us. Now that the real guy isn’t here, I can pretend to be him! He is the guest of the Black Tortoise Clan. If I pretend to be him and make up a story, they’ll treat us like guests as well. Moreover, that man’s family is there. If we can win them over, we would have an easier time catching him!” he further added. 

”Moreover, I don’t believe this will cost us too much time. So what if we can’t go back the way we came here? Once we are the guests of the Black Tortoise Clan, we can use their resources to go to the White Tiger Realm behind the real guy! With their support, the blame won’t come on the Demons either!”

”Moreover, this way, we can also win the support of the Black Tortoise Clan, heir to the Demons. If I took the real one’s place, I could turn the game of the Heavenly Emperor upside down! Instead of the real Long Chen turning them toward the Heaven, we can turn them in your direction! As I said, this is an advantage which we are really lucky to receive!”

The more Long Chen talked, the more he succeeded in convincing the Demon Princess. The plan was certainly not bad. This could really help them. But she still had some doubts. 

”Why would they believe whatever you say? The Black Tortoise heir can’t be that stupid to believe anything. Won’t he know where real Long Chen went? He would catch you in an instant!”

”No, actually, he can’t!” Long Chen smiled. “There has been an accident. He lost the real Long Chen in an ancient temple in another realm, and now he can’t go there. Even he doesn’t know that the real Long Chen is in the White Tiger Realm, weakened and trapped there.”

”I just need to make up a story about how I escaped that temple which led me to a place where I met you. And you being a kind lady, helped me return here. Zhu Chang won’t find out even in his dreams!”

The Demon Princess lost herself in thoughts as she frowned. Ultimately, she decided to go with the plan. Even though it was risky, but the advantages of succeeding were also too much. Moreover, so far, she hadn’t committed any wrongs by coming here. 

If she lets herself get arrested right here and doesn’t do anything, the Black Tortoise Clan wasn’t going to treat her as an enemy. She could just say she was here to bring someone who claimed to be from this place. She was ultimately free of responsibility even if she was caught. 

She could see the benefits and rarely any flaws for her. It was certainly not a bad plan. 

”If this plan works, we will heavily reward you when we go back,” She said calmly. 

”What rewards?” Long Chen inquired. 

”Rewards that will make you very happy. Treasures that are so precious that humans will happily die for them!” The woman answered. 

”What if I don’t want the treasures?” Long Chen asked. “What if I want something else?”

”What else could you want? As long as we can afford it, you’ll get it! And there are rarely things we can’t afford. You’ll get whatever you desire!” The Princess promised. 

”I’ll get whatever I want? That’s good to know.” Long Chen smiled. So far, all that was left was to impress the lady even more and win her heart then the world was going to belong to him!

Just as the Demon Princess had expected, the God Beast Clan guards noticed someone infiltrating. It had only been a few seconds, and the Demon Princess could see some people flying towards them, each having a powerful aura. 

Seeing them arrive, Long Chen hastily swallowed a black pill.
