Don't Think You Can Do Whatever You Want Just Because You're Good-Looking

A shrill, ear-piercing, and massive sound suddenly exploded within the quiet cave dwelling!

The volume was absurd; not only was it ear-splitting, but it also carried a magical oscillation that acted directly upon the soul.

This was the highest-level enemy alert system that Lu Changsheng had specifically engineered at the core of his Three Thousand Layer Array, using several Amplification Array Disks and Oscillation Array Patterns.

This alarm would only trigger if the outer layers of the array were continuously destroyed for more than one hundred layers.

"Holy crap!"

Stunned by the terrifying alarm, Lu Changsheng jolted like a frog hit by electricity, launching himself off the White Jade Cloud Bed and into mid-air.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! That dead loach has come knocking!"

Before Lu Changsheng had even fully opened his eyes, he was already letting out a blood-curdling shriek.

He tumbled down from the air in a panic, and before he could even steady himself upon landing, he slammed into a nearby stone pillar, seeing stars.

But he couldn't care less about the pain.

His heart hammered wildly in his chest, as if it were about to leap right out of his throat.

"The alarm went off! One hundred layers! One hundred layers of the outer array have been broken!"

Lu Changsheng's face was filled with terror and disbelief.

This was his newly upgraded Three Thousand Layer Array!

Although those outer one hundred layers were meant to be a nuisance and lacked high attack power, the interlocking chain traps were so complex that even an ordinary Primordial Unity Golden Immortal would have to spend hundreds of years grinding through them.

How much time had even passed?

He had only just finished picking up merit from two mountains in his dream, and already one hundred layers of his array had been shattered?!

"Could the Dragon Clan army have surrounded my mountain?"

Lu Changsheng scrambled to the control hub in the center of the cave and slapped his hand onto the massive white jade platform.

"Water Mirror Technique, activate!"

He channeled his magic power with trembling hands.

Above the white jade platform, ripples of water shimmered, and the scene outside gradually became clear in mid-air.

Lu Changsheng widened his eyes, staring fixedly at the water mirror.

He had braced himself to see a sky full of aquatic troops or a Dragon Clan elder bombarding his mountain with countless magical treasures.

However.

In the water mirror, there were no thousands of troops or horses.

There were no hideous or terrifying Primordial Land beasts either.

There was only a woman.

A woman dressed in a cyan flowing-cloud dress, possessing an ethereal temperament and peerless beauty.

She stood quietly at the edge of the array's ruins, her hands emitting a soft and sacred azure light, unhurriedly melting away the Poison Mist Array before her.

There was not a trace of aggression; she was so elegant that it was a sight to behold.

Yet, seeing this, Lu Changsheng felt the blood in his entire body freeze.

His pupils contracted violently, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably, producing a "clack-clack-clack" sound.

Beauty?

In the face of life and death, in the eyes of someone who lived by the philosophy of "staying low," beauty was worth less than a lump of mud!

Lu Changsheng didn't even bother to admire Nuwa's breathtaking appearance; his eyes were locked onto the layer of Creation Azure Light swirling around her hands.

It was the terrifying Dao aura of someone who treated his pride-and-joy array as nothing, someone to whom even the surrounding laws of heaven and earth seemed to submit.

"A Primordial Unity Golden Immortal... No! This is definitely not an ordinary Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!"

Lu Changsheng felt his bladder swelling with dread.

"This woman's aura is ten thousand times more terrifying than that dead Qilin and that dead loach combined!"

"That sacred pressure, as if she could create all things and strip away all things... this is a top-tier Innate Divine Being!"

In Lu Changsheng's mind, a multi-million-word history of Primordial Land vendettas instantly flashed before his eyes.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!"

He paced frantically in front of the console, his hands constantly clawing at the feathers on his head, ripping out several golden bird feathers in his distress.

"I knew it! I knew that killing in the Primordial Land would have no good ending!"

"You beat the small one, and the old one comes! This must be some elder or relative of that Mystic Immortal Old Earth Dragon!"

"That Old Earth Dragon carried the essence of earth, and this woman carries the vitality of creation; they are clearly in cahoots! Perhaps this woman is the owner of this ley line, and that Old Earth Dragon was just her pet!"

"Not only did I strike her pet dead with heavenly lightning, but I also dug out her Earth Dragon Pearl to use as an array core, and I even forcibly requisitioned her ley line!"

The more Lu Changsheng thought about it, the more he felt his deduction was flawless.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt he was doomed today.

No wonder she dismantled my arrays so easily! She's enjoying the pleasure of tormenting her enemy!

She's planning to peel back my turtle shell layer by layer, then skin me alive and pull out my tendons to avenge her pet!

Watching through the water mirror, Nuwa tapped her fingertip lightly once more.

The 101st layer, the Thick Earth Defense Array, which was touted to withstand a full-force strike from a True Immortal, melted away silently like snow meeting a scorching sun, leaving behind a gaping hole.

"My arrays! My money!"

Lu Changsheng watched the scattered remnants of the array disks, now devoid of spiritual energy, and tears of heartbreak nearly fell from his eyes.

Those were all his belongings, painstakingly dug out from the mud and repaired bit by bit!

This woman wasn't dismantling arrays; she was dismantling his life!

"I can't let her keep dismantling them like this!"

Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth, a flash of desperation-driven madness crossing his eyes.

"Although the outer arrays aren't worth much, at the rate she's going, she'll reach my core defense circle in a few thousand years at most."

"If she discovers the Earth Dragon Pearl and the Half Beast Horn by then, she'll definitely fly into a rage and wipe me and this mountain off the face of the earth!"

"I have to stop her!"

As the Primordial Land's number one miser of the path of cowardice, Lu Changsheng knew exactly how much he was worth.

Going out to fight was absolutely out of the question.

He would never go out to fight, not in this lifetime.

To deal with a top-tier powerhouse of this caliber, his only weapon—and the trump card he least wanted to use—was that one move.

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He walked to the edge of the control console and found the array hub he had named the Sound Transmission Megaphone.

"I don't know what level of mighty figure you are, but as long as you're still roaming the Primordial Land, you have to follow the rules of the Heavenly Dao!"

Lu Changsheng cranked the power of the Sound Transmission Megaphone to the maximum.

He pressed his hands onto the white jade platform and leaned close to the Sound Transmission Array Eye.

"Thief outside! Stop! Stop right there, damn it! Don't dismantle any more!"

The massive sound wave, like a materialized tsunami, erupted from within the three thousand layers of arrays of the Nameless Low Mountain.

The sound was ridiculously loud; it was not only deafening but even stirred the surrounding spiritual energy for a hundred miles, sweeping the withered branches and fallen leaves on the ground into mid-air.

Outside the ruins of the arrays.

Nuwa, who had been holding a slender jade finger and preparing to leisurely dissolve the 102nd layer, the Chain Earth Spike Array, paused slightly as her fingertip was shaken by the sudden, earth-shattering roar.

The Creation Azure Light lingering at her fingertip rippled imperceptibly due to the crude sound wave.

Nuwa was stunned.

In those eyes of hers, which seemed capable of perceiving all things in heaven and earth and always carried a touch of tranquility and indifference, a trace of bewilderment flashed for the first time in history.

Thief?

Damn it?
