Chapter 1532 Guilty Pleasure

Chapter 1532 Guilty Pleasure

When Jojo saw Ryu suddenly appear before her, she was at a loss for words. In truth, she didn't think about this man too often in the last several years, but that was mostly because she was dealing with her own difficult issues-clearly. However, that wasn't to say that she didn't think about him at all. At the very least, she recognized him immediately, and that only made her all the more stunned.

Ryu grinned, clutching the chains that held her down. "You-what are you-?!"

Ryu grunted and the chain bowed and flexed. With [Earth Gate], he could choose one aspect of himself to progress a great deal. In the past, this used to be done by a measurement of years. For example, back in Sacrum, he could force a progression of a hundred years or so when he first unlocked this ability. But as he progressed, he gained the ability to instantly improve thousands of years, or trillions during his final battle with the Martial Gods.

However, now, it was no longer like that. After his mutation, it wasn't a matter of years, but he seemed to be able to take an entire step up in Realm. As such, though his current strength was at the Peak of the False Sky God Realm-at a Seventh Heaven standard-if he used [Earth Gate] to increase his pure physical strength, he could reach the True Sky God Realm.

BANG. The chains finally couldn't handle it any longer and snapped under his pressure, causing Jojo's eyes to widen like saucers. What the hell had she just seen? She had to be seeing things, none of this was real. That was right, she was still dreaming... somehow, even though it had been months since the last time she slept...

It just didn't make any sense for Ryu to be so strong, he had no business being able to display that kind of...

She was hauled over his shoulder. "Alright, be obedient."

Jojo was stunned. When had she ever been treated like this?

"You-Put me down!"

Ryu patted her butt so hard that her thick armor cracked. "Spout any more foolishness and I'll expose that flat chest of yours."

Jojo froze.

Ryu erupted into a fit of laughter. "I mean, seriously. What were you thinking? If you really got married one day and your husband noticed what you've been hiding all this time, he'd return to sender."

Jojo's surprise immediately turned to rage.

"How dare you say that to me?!" She beat at his back with her fists, hoping to at least draw blood. But what chance did a World Sea Realm expert have of harming Ryu's body? In fact, he felt it was a subpar massage because it couldn't get deep enough. Even so, he only laughed harder.

"Okay, okay. I apologize, my little flat-chested princess. Let me be your knight in shining armor and take you out here."

Suddenly, Ryu changed her position in his arms and picked her up like a true princess. Then, he shot through the roof.

Jojo's eyes bulged again. She thought that Ryu had a method of escape, that he was ready and prepared to help her out of here, and though she hated him, she was hoping that this was true as well.

But was he just trying to get her killed?!

All of the disciples in the surroundings looked over, only to find their Goddess being swept off her feet by another man. Jojo's face was slightly red from all the rage and yelling she had just been doing, and now her expression was completely stunned. Unfortunately, without the context, she just looked like a young maiden in love.

"Since when could the likes of the Raging Inferno Sect or Litaor steal my, Ryu Tatsuya's, woman?"

Ryu's laughter echoed with a boom as Jojo's home collapsed. What no one seemed to notice until it was too late was that the home fell with such perfection that it looked like it had been detonated. And right then, beneath this oddly perfect detonation, a hidden formation sparkled to life.

Several powerful auras swept forward all at once.

'Looks like I've overstayed my welcome,' Ryu chuckled to himself.

In these last several weeks, he had visited Jojo many times. The problem of escape had always remained as such: a problem. He needed a method to get out of here swiftly, far enough that it was impossible for them to lock onto him in a short time.

It seemed like a simple case of throwing Jojo into the Golden Moon World and making out like a bandit, but how could things be that easy?

Even at his fastest speed, it would take him hours to make it out of the Sect's territory. In that time, the elders of the Sect could choose to do a great many things.

For one, they could exchange more Qi Stones, or God Crystals, rather, to raise the formation of the outer ring to the same level as the core regions. If that happened, it would take even more stamina for Ryu to remain hidden and he might be exposed before he left. Once even a Transcendent Sky God managed to secure onto him, it would pretty much be over.

He wouldn't be fast enough to escape such an existence, and they'd also be able to break into the void to target him directly.

And this was just the simplest thing they could do.

Ryu's best bet to survive was to create a large scale formation that could teleport him out of the Sect in an instant, but where would he hide such a thing?

It would need to be close to Jojo's home, but since a high level Sky God was constantly sweeping their senses over here, how could he hide such a thing from their eyes?

So Ryu had to take a different approach.

Every time he came, he built the formation in pieces, displacing its sections into a three dimensional structure that wouldn't become a proper two dimensional formation until Jojo's abode collapsed.

It was quite genius, if he did say so himself. And it most definitely wasn't Hope's idea. Definitely not.

The best part about this method, though, was that with the high-level materials Jojo's house was formed of, much of the resources needed were literally built in. It couldn't have been more perfect.

Ryu quickly descended as the formation took root, and by the time the first powerful aura came over the horizon.

BOOM.

Ryu, the house and Jojo vanished just as the Sky God crashed down, his gaze burning with fury.

"Get the Formation Masters here, NOW!" He bellowed. "I want to know where this formation went immediately! And I also want to know why such a large-scale formation wasn't observed in the first place!"

The man was the very same Omniscient Sky God. He had originally not planned to move as it was beneath him, but he felt that whoever could come to cause trouble here couldn't possibly be so foolish. So he made a move.

The good news was that he was correct.

The bad news was that it didn't matter that he had come.

...

Ryu and Jojo appeared in the depths of the forest and Ryu went back to hauling her over his shoulder. He had only said those words to piss off the Sects, he had no intention of actually taking Jojo as his woman.

This woman had the same problem as Selheira. Actually, that was a bit unfair, given that Selheira actually seemed to like him.

The problem was the entitled brat issue. Just look at her, she was a World Sea Realm expert but she was still kicking and screaming like he couldn't snap her out of existence with a finger. She was lucky that she was still useful for some things.

Ryu put her down. "Alright, take all that annoying armor off. If we're going to go on a date, I'm going to need you to look the part."

Jojo's eyeballs practically bulged out of their sockets.

"Who do you consider you're-"

"No."

Ryu's playfulness vanished. "Who do YOU consider you're talking to?"

The pressure of a Sky God descended from all sides and Jojo felt her knees turn weak. She almost directly collapsed, but the defiance in her eyes didn't change as she grit her teeth.

"If you want to kill me, then kill me! Do you consider I'm afraid of you?!"

Ryu's pressure vanished and he chuckled.

He had seen this woman withstand the pressure of her Sect and not shed a single tear. Even now, she was defiant.

Maybe he was being unfair by calling her a brat. If it wasn't for the fact she liked to pretend to have towering breasts, she might be quite similar to Ryu. The difference, though, of course, was that Ryu didn't have such insecurities.

Ryu raised his fingers up and with a snap, Jojo's armor shattered to pieces.

She screeched, covering her body.

"What are you screaming about, woman? You're wearing a full body suit."

Watching Jojo covering her chest when she was clearly covered up left Ryu without words. How could this woman be so confident and yet unconfident at the same time? She needed to be studied.

"Just rape me and get it over with," Jojo growled, standing in a half stance between wanting to cover her chest and not wanting to appear so fragile.

"Who wants to rape such a flat chested woman?" Ryu snorted. "Here, put this on. Go change. And obviously, don't be stupid enough to try and run from me."

Ryu threw a dress at Jojo.

"What is this for?" Jojo looked at the dress with disgust.

"Didn't you hear me, we're going on a date."

Jojo grit her teeth, but seemed to realize she didn't have a choice and went off to do as she was told.

Watching her walk away in that skin-tight bodysuit, Ryu shook his head.

Jojo wasn't truly flat-chested, they were just a bit small. But there was nothing small at all about that hips and that swaying...

Ryu refocused himself. This was all a necessity, he nodded to himself. This wasn't for his own guilty pleasure at all.
