Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

Even an A-level expert couldn't break through the crystal wall?!

This scene left everyone both happy and helpless.

The reason for the joy is that the sacred crystals sealed within the crystal walls must possess extremely abundant energy.

Unfortunately, getting it out isn't easy!

The last hope was placed on that girl with the single ponytail.

Nightfall, S-rank.

People quickly made way for them.

Tianye arrived in front of the crystal wall and took a deep breath.

A sword strike was unleashed!

Oh!

A sharp, piercing roar.

A crack visible to the naked eye appeared on the crystal wall!

"It's a success!"

"As expected of an S-class wallbreaker!"

"With the Saint Quartz inside, we won't need to come back to the surface for a long time!"

People's faces lit up with joy, and Lan Jing'er's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Wait, the crystal wall hasn't completely cracked!"

"Look! The crack is being repaired! The power emanating from the Holy Crystal has healed it!"

Soon, the crack that Tianye had created was completely healed.

"How could this happen..."

Lan Jing'er murmured incoherently.

"I apologize, Your Grace. I used up too much power just now and was unable to completely break through the crystal wall."

Tianye's words instantly plunged people's spirits from the clouds to the bottom!

If even she couldn't break through it, then who could?

"Are we just going to stand by and watch ourselves fail to obtain the Saint Quartz?"

"Wait, don't we have another powerful expert here?!"

All eyes turned to Chen Nian, hoping he would lend a hand.

"Hello there."

An A-level man approached Chen Nian and said, "Could you do me a favor? Crystal Domain will reward you handsomely."

He gives the impression that he wants to ask Chen Nian for help, but because Chen Nian is an outsider, he can't completely put aside his pride, so it doesn't sound very sincere.

"Can."

Chen Nian smiled and said, "However, your Holy Maiden will have to come and invite me in person."

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing these arrogant words, the A-level man recalled the scene of the saintess giving him a kiss, and anger surged into his heart instantly.

"How dare you order around a saintess like that!"

Just a moment ago they were pleading humbly, and now they're shouting angrily. They really change their tune quickly.

Chen Nian retorted, "Then what are you doing standing here? You don't actually think... you're qualified to ask me to do this, do you?"

"you?!"

Even a dignified A-level wall-breaker is a one-in-a-million existence in the Crystal Domain, which has millions of people.

I'm used to being treated with utmost respect, but today I never expected to be belittled to the point of being worthless by an outsider!

He was furious, but knowing he was no match for them, he could only retreat in anger.

"Your Holiness, why don't you go and talk to him yourself? It seems he's only giving you face..." someone advised.

"No, what if he asks the saintess to do those things again!"

"But these holy crystals are incredibly precious. Bringing them back would be a great contribution to all of us, so we absolutely cannot give them up."

People even started arguing about it, with both sides holding their own opinions and debating endlessly.

"Alright, shut up, all of you!"

The people around fell silent instantly, watching Lan Jing'er walk towards the stranger, their hearts instinctively leaping into their throats.

This time, Lan Jing'er walked straight up to Chen Nian and didn't speak from several meters away.

What happened...?

I feel like my resistance to him has decreased a lot?

Could it be because he overheard me recounting my childhood?

Even Lan Jing'er herself didn't know that Chen Nian's identity had changed from "outsider" to "confidant," and the distance between them had been reduced to a great extent.

She took a deep breath, looked up and met Chen Nian's gaze, the crystal scales between her brows shimmering with a beautiful luster.

"We're determined to get the Saint Quartz. Tell me, what do you want in exchange for your help?"

Although she forced herself to remain calm on the surface, she was inwardly quite uneasy. What if this guy made that kind of shameful request again...?

However, Chen Nian made no demands this time.

He just doesn't play by the rules.

"Since the Holy Maiden has spoken, I naturally have to help." Chen Nian stepped forward with a smile.

"you....."

Lan Jing'er was both surprised and delighted.

How can it not be surprising when a notorious scumbag suddenly transforms into a warm and caring man?

At this moment, Lan Jing'er's resistance to Chen Nian decreased again, and even the disgust she felt from being forced to kiss him earlier lessened considerably.

Chen Nian arrived in front of the crystal wall.

Everyone stared intently at him, eager to see how he would break through the crystal barrier.

"Tsk, I don't know what he's trying to prove! Trying to win the Holy Maiden's favor with such tricks is laughable."

Several A-level wall-breaking individuals scoffed at Chen Nian.

"Wait a minute, he doesn't even bring any weapons, yet he thinks he can break through this crystal wall?"

"That arrogant fool probably hasn't experienced the sheer solidity of the crystal walls firsthand, ha!"

Several of them were eager for Chen Nian to embarrass himself in front of the Holy Maiden, for only in this way could their ridiculous and ugly hearts find some solace.

Black energy continuously gathers in the center of Chen Nian's palm.

The Word of Power: "Origin of Annihilation of the World!"

This power of words possesses extreme destructive power over all inanimate objects.

"go!"

Black energy spreads up the crystal wall.

Immediately afterwards, the crystal wall began to melt away at a speed visible to the naked eye!

It's getting thinner and thinner, and more and more transparent.

at last.....

A huge hole appeared before people's eyes.

Everyone was stunned.

"This...this is impossible!"

"He broke through the crystal barrier that even Tianye couldn't break through so easily..."

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the crowd erupted in cheers.

"Wow, it's really open!"

"That's awesome, bro..."

"Haha, what a rich, crystalline glow!"

"Thank goodness he's here, we're rich now! Let's go, let's go in and collect Saint Quartz."

The miners filed in with their tools, their faces beaming with excitement. The mining team was known for its merit-based rewards, and they were sure to make a fortune when they returned!

Humans are inherently self-interested beings; everyone benefits, and everyone feels grateful and admiring towards Chen Nian.

The anger he felt from just now, when he had scummed the saintess, had almost completely vanished!

Apart from those few A-level Breakers who treated the Holy Maiden as their own possession, they were now both angry and anxious.

Because they discovered that the saintess's gaze towards that outsider was also filled with gentleness and gratitude, and there was no trace of her disgust for men.

"Thank you!"

Lan Jing'er thanked Chen Nian.

This time, she thanked me in a very natural tone, and she didn't stand too far away.

Compared to the initial sense of distance, this time they appeared much closer and more approachable.

"It seems the Holy Maiden has made great progress," Chen Nian said with a smile.

"What progress?" The saintess tilted her head innocently.

"Not long ago, they wanted to keep a distance from me like the Chu-Han border, but now we can talk at a normal distance. That's good."

"snort!"

Lan Jing'er gritted her teeth and glared at Chen Nian, her expression carrying a hint of girlish shyness.

She sneered inwardly, "Don't expect me to give you a kind look again!"
