After a moment of reflection, Chen Moxuan made his way down from the Arena.
Everyone below looked at him with a burning intensity. Regardless of whether they had previously held him in high regard or underestimated him, their gazes now were filled with friendliness. The crowd instinctively parted, allowing him to move forward.
With a blank expression, Chen Moxuan stepped through the throng. However, as he passed by Wu Shanshan, she took a deep breath and stepped in front of him.
"Stop right there," she said.
In that moment, her eyes conveyed a mix of nervous excitement, shyness, and a hint of confusion. It was hard to imagine that she could possess such a complex array of emotions at once.
Chen Moxuan sensed that Wu Shanshan meant him no harm.
"Is there something you need?" he replied coolly, his gaze indifferent.
"I-I-I..." Wu Shanshan stammered, unable to articulate her thoughts due to her nervousness.
This prompted laughter from those around them, making her feel even more embarrassed. Two faint blushes appeared on her cheeks, enhancing her beauty.
"Just say what you need to say; if there's nothing, I'll be on my way," Chen Moxuan said, his tone dismissive.
At that moment, Wu Shanshan resembled an infatuated girl. While he acknowledged that she was quite beautiful and had a charming demeanor—far from the typical neighborhood girl—he felt no desire to linger. To him, beauty was merely a fleeting indulgence.
He might pause to appreciate it for a moment but would never allow it to distract him from his true goal: reaching the pinnacle of strength.
Spurred on by his indifference, Wu Shanshan finally cast aside all her reservations and shouted boldly, "I want to take you home! I want to kiss you and have your babies!"
"Ugh."
At his words, the crowd erupted into chaos, with some people even letting out strange cries. Most of these cries came from men, while a few women looked enviously at Wu Shanshan, wondering why they hadn’t thought of such a method.
"Are you sick? If you are, go see a doctor!"
Chen Moxuan glanced at Wu Shanshan in surprise; he hadn’t expected her to say something like that. It truly caught him off guard. However, he merely shot her a quick look before moving forward, ignoring her completely.
The onlookers were astonished that Chen Moxuan rejected her so decisively. After all, a beautiful woman was making advances toward him. His ability to make such a quick decision and remain unmoved was indeed impressive; no wonder he had defeated Yang Zhentian—his resolve was terrifyingly strong!
Wu Shanshan couldn’t believe that after mustering the courage to say something so bold, Chen Moxuan thought she was just rambling nonsense. She felt infuriated!
"Chen Moxuan, stop right there! You have to come home with me!"
But it seemed as if Chen Moxuan didn’t hear her at all and continued walking away.
"Fine! Chen Moxuan, you’re forcing my hand."
At her boiling point, Wu Shanshan pulled out a jade talisman from her pocket. This talisman looked extraordinary; it was intricately carved with a rough outline of the entire Heartless Valley and shimmered with a translucent glow, radiating an enchanting light.
Those with knowledge immediately gasped in shock.
"It’s the Heartless Talisman! I can’t believe she has the Heartless Talisman!"
"Isn’t it said that only the valley can produce the Heartless Talisman? How could she possibly possess one? Could she be the daughter of the valley?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? The valley has always been single! How could she possibly be its daughter?"
However, the fact that she could produce the Heartless Talisman indicated that she must have a very close relationship with the valley!
"Can’t the valley have a daughter in secret? Although I’ve never seen the true face of the valley, it must be incredibly beautiful. She’s also quite lovely herself. It wouldn’t be strange at all if she were the valley’s daughter!"
"The Heartless Talisman! I can’t believe after all these years, I’m seeing the Heartless Talisman again. How nostalgic!"
Among the crowd, an Elder in Black observed the Heartless Talisman. His eyes instantly sparkled with intensity, and a powerful aura emanated from him before he quickly reined it in.
I heard that the Heartless Talisman can make a wish come true within a certain range. I wonder if it's true!
If it is, then I've witnessed the power of the Heartless Talisman once, and it was truly remarkable—words became reality, and dreams were fulfilled! As long as one is within Heartless Valley, the power of the Heartless Talisman is undeniably immense!
I can't help but wonder what kind of wish this young beauty will make with the Heartless Talisman. I believe it must be related to Chen Moxuan. Surely she wouldn't wish to marry him and have children, would she?
But then again, who knows? Chen Moxuan's resolve is indeed strong; he managed to refuse such an alluring invitation from a beauty so decisively. If it were me, I would have already fallen for her charms!
This is why you cannot challenge a strong person; you can only stand by and chatter away!
As Chen Moxuan listened to the discussions around him about the Heartless Talisman being able to grant a wish, he paused and turned to look at Wu Shanshan. In her hand, he saw a jade talisman radiating a shimmering light.
The ability to turn words into reality and fulfill dreams must be directly related to the Rules Spirit of Heartless Valley, which allows for such power. This piqued his curiosity.
"Wu Shanshan, I genuinely have feelings for you. If you come back to my residence with me now, I would be willing to have a child with you, and I could also have the valley appoint you as a new elder."
"I'm sorry," she replied earnestly. "Though you are sincere, I do not have feelings for you and will not kiss you. No one can force me, Chen Moxuan!"
Chen Moxuan's expression was serious as he spoke clearly and deliberately. Wu Shanshan sensed the firmness in his tone and understood that he was being genuine.
"Well then, don’t blame me for using the Heartless Talisman on you," she said defiantly.
With that, she began to chant incantations. Once she finished, the invisible talisman in her hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
Then, the Heartless Talisman flickered and appeared above Chen Moxuan's head, enveloping him in its radiant glow.
Chen Moxuan immediately felt a powerful will entering his mind, attempting to alter his thoughts. His own will clashed against this invading force in an instant.
The will that entered his mind was but a single strand yet incredibly strong—cold and ruthless, as if it sought to freeze his own resolve.
However, Chen Moxuan's will had been tempered through countless trials and was also quite formidable. Although it may not match the icy ruthlessness of this invading force, his mind was on familiar ground.
Though resisting was difficult, he managed to hold onto a piece of his territory.
