Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Seven – Screw Live and Die Together (2/2)
Two figures appeared like ghosts nearby.
“It’s you!” Zuo Mo’s gaze focused and he was shocked inside.
In the night, Ceng Lian’er’s exquisite and beautiful features looked more mysterious. Her black opal like eyes held an indescribable light. There was also a woman standing next to her. Looking at her attire, it should be Ceng Lian’er’s maid.
She stopped at a distance of five zhang from Zuo Mo.
“You are going to Nether Spring Jie?” the serene voice drifted over with the wind.
Zuo Mo who had not lowered his guard suddenly focused his gaze. He asked in a deep voice, “How do you know?”
“This is Shattered Stone Jie.” Ceng Lian’er did not pay attention to Zuo Mo’s wariness.
Zuo Mo understood. Most likely, his search for Reverse Shadow Spirit Silkgrass had caught Ceng Yi’s attention. This outrageously beautiful woman in front of him gave him a great sense of danger. Even though a part of his breakthrough was owed to this person, and the other’s silver shen power had been one of the main causes of his breakthrough.
But he could not get the measure of this woman’s power or intentions.
“I cultivate moon shen power.” Ceng Lian’er’s seductive face became slightly dazed. She raised her face, and the moon above her head brightened slightly. A ray of moonlight fell on her face, illuminating her delicate features.
The long eyelashes, the warm lips, the flawless face, under the illumination of the moon, it seemed to shake the soul.
“Moon shen power?” Zuo Mo finally understood why the other’s shen power would have power resonance with his shen power.
“I will go with you to Nether Spring Jie,” Ceng Lian’er said serenely.
“You’ll go with me to Nether Spring Jie?” Zuo Mo heard this and stopped for a long time before he reacted. He felt it was humorous. “Haha, what are you saying? You are going with me to Nether Spring JIe? Haha.”
“Yes,” Ceng Lian’er looked at Zuo Mo with her calm eyes.
Zuo Mo heard the determination in the other’s voice and his humor receded. He frowned. “This joke isn’t funny, I’m not familiar with you.”
Ceng Lian’er’s voice was extremely pleasing to hear. “Because you cultivate sun shen power, and I cultivate moon shen power.”
“Don’t understand.” Zuo Mo shook his head.
“If we cultivate together, our shen power will grow even more quickly,” Ceng Lian’er explained.
Zuo Mo finally understood. “You mean power resonance?”
“It is also called paired cultivation,” Ceng Lian’er said lightly, “it is very beneficial to you.”
Zuo Mo was not persuaded. “I do not need it.”
“Because of your right hand?” A hint of mirth rose in Ceng Lian’er’s pupils.
However, Zuo Mo did not find it funny. His heart shook. The other’s familiarity with his secrets surpassed his expectations… to even know about the whirlpool of shen power in his hand.
This woman … …
“I do not have any malicious intentions. The whirlpool in your right hand is growing, and you can only absorb a small amount. When it reaches a certain level, you will lose control of it.”
She stared at Zuo Mo and said, “Paired cultivation can solve this problem.”
Zuo Mo spread his hands. “Why should I believe you?”
“Because when your shen power awakened me, it left an imprint on my body. If you die, I cannot live,” Ceng Lian’er said as though it was nothing. “If I die, your shen power will also crumble.”
“Ha! You are a good liar!” Zuo Mo laughed coldly.
“The paired cultivation… when it began it decided our fate. If I channel shen power, you will be able to feel it.” As she spoke, the moonlight around Ceng Lian’er brightened.
Zuo Mo’s expression changed drastically. His shen power was moving against his will!
“This is the power resonance you speak of. If you channel shen power, my shen power would also resonate.” Ceng Lian’ers words burrowed into Zuo Mo’s ear.
Damn it!
“I think that it is much safer to follow you, so that I do not die mysteriously one day without knowing the cause.”
Ceng Lian’er didn’t look at Zuo Mo as she slowly walked to his side. She sat down, and her maid knelt down next to her. In a blink, a little wooden table appeared, an exquisite tea set, a small stove, and she started to boil tea.
Sea of consciousness.
Zuo Mo urgently asked Pu Yao and Wei, “This woman is truthful?”
The one that explained was Wei. “It is true, the paired cultivators in the ancient era usually lived and died together!”
“Screw live and die together!” Zuo Mo swore with a terrible expression.
“Actually, this isn’t a bad thing … …” Before Wei finished, Zuo Mo angrily turned and left the sea of consciousness.
“Moon shen power?” Pu Yao was thoughtful.
Translator Ramblings: I really want a prequel with Pu Yao and Wei. They have such interesting lives. Is Pu Yao from one of the major clans, which I don’t think he is, or was he a “commoner” that was seriously talented and made his own way up to become a sky yao and essentially the battle general of the yaomo? What was Wei’s clan like? How many masters did he go through with the gravestone?
Also, the chapter title is a nice pun. It can be interpreted two ways. One is ‘screw “live and die together” and the other would be “screw, live and die together.”
