My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1465

Nash came to the mountain seeking treasure. He could take everything else, but the Thousand Illusion Array Disk had to be returned to the Cricton family.

Nash could not help but laugh at Tatiana's pitiful appearance. “Silly girl, it belongs to your ancestors. Of course, I won't take it,” he said, with eyes filled with affection.

Tatiana felt her heart melt. She tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Nash's neck, and kissed him. After the brief kiss, Nash playfully slapped her on the backside and said, “Alright, let’s go ahead and take a look inside!”

Nodding, Tatiana turned and walked toward the thatched cottage. Just as she stepped into the yard, she was thrown back by a massive force. Nash's pupils shrank as he quickly stepped forward to catch her. The force even made him stagger back several steps before he was able to steady himself.

Rubbing her chest, Tatiana said, “That's strange. I looked over the place with my Net-Breaking Eye just now and saw nothing!”

Nash looked up at the sky, only to see the clouds shaped in an array. “There's a Mountain Shield Array here. It’s an extraordinarily advanced divinity-level pattern!”

Creating arrays with clouds was likely a skill beyond even a grandmaster of arrays. Tatiana saw the pattern in the sky and nodded in realization. With Nash looking on in surprise, she returned her gaze to the front of the yard. She bit her finger and flung a mist of blood into the yard.

The air twisted in the courtyard. Tatiana stepped forward and entered. This time, however, she was not thrown back. When Tatiana entered the house completely, Nash finally relaxed. He sat cross-legged on a stone table outside the courtyard and waited for her.

Just as he sat down, a roar echoed through the skies, and the gold core inside him burst into brilliance. Power immediately filled his body. The restrictions were lifted, and his cultivation was restored.

Three minutes later, Tatiana emerged from the thatched hut carrying a snake-skin bag. There was a bright smile on her face. "Nash, sorry to keep you waiting!"

Nash was speechless. Tatiana approached the stone table and tossed the snake-skin bag into Nash’s lap. “Here, these are for you!”
