Chapter 256 (2/2)

Xiang Shaoyun accepted the armor with no hesitation. ”Thank you, big sister. I won't disappoint you.”

”Ok. Focus on healing up for now. If you can come back with the soul raising stone, there will be more rewards waiting from your big sister, alright?” said Hua Cheng with a mischievous tone.

One ought to say that when Hua Cheng was not behaving like a haughty Empress, she looked like an ordinary girl-next-door. Hua Cheng immediately vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a faint lingering fragrance.

Xiang Shaoyun emptied his mind and started focusing on healing up. He also refined a large amount of spirit crystals in his astral cosmos sea. At the same time, the star congregation jade remained active, causing a thick clump of astral energy to twirl around him at all times. The numerous sources of energy helped him both heal faster and grow in strength.

One day and one night pa.s.sed quickly. Xiang Shaoyun was already about 60 or 70 percent healed, and his cultivation level had increased to mid eighth-stage Transformation Realm. Anyone else who had cleared a few limit rooms in succession would definitely be able to force a lot of their potential out and break through into the next level.

But Xiang Shaoyun was different from others. He had a nine-star physique. The amount of astral energy he required for breakthrough was far greater for him than for any other cultivator. It was already an exceedingly outstanding accomplishment for someone with his physique to actually grow in only half a month since his last breakthrough.

While Xiang Shaoyun was absorbing the purple qi from the first rays of sun, he was notified by Li Yaxuan's messenger to gather at the outer pavilion. After packing up, he left to meet them. Along his way, many people saluted and greeted him respectfully, their eyes filled with respect. There were also a number of smitten girls who were staring at him in admiration, and the braver ones among them were even confessing their love to Xiang Shaoyun.

”Xiang Shaoyun, you are so handsome! I think I have fallen in love with you!” said a chubby girl as she bashfully played with the corner of her s.h.i.+rt. Even Xiang Shaoyun felt shy upon hearing the confession.

”Oh...uhm...” He was completely speechless.

Yes, this girl was kind of short, and had a lot of pimples on her face, but she wasn't too heavy. She was definitely not heavier than 120 kilos. At most, she would be about 100 kilos in weight. No matter what, she was still a brave and adorable young lady. It would be rather cruel to reject her, right? But he really couldn't bring himself to say yes to her confession.

Right that instant, a slim silhouette appeared and pointed at the chubby girl before shouting, ”An ugly fatty like you dares to confess to Xiang Shaoyun? Scram! He is mine!”

This girl...is too straightforward, right? thought Xiang Shaoyun to himself before adding, But I like her!

But when the slim silhouette turned and smiled at him, he felt like crying.

”Xiang Shaoyun, I really like you!” said the slim girl while winking her eyes.

Xiang Shaoyun felt like vomiting. Yes, the girl was slim, but she was completely flat. And her face...she looked manlier than a man, and she even had a tiny clump of beard on her chin!

”You darned tomboy! You have frightened Xiang Shaoyun with your looks! p.i.s.s off! He is mine!” shouted the chubby girl while rolling up her sleeves, looking like she was preparing for a brawl.

”Do you think I'm scared of you? Come, fight me 300 rounds if you have the guts! Xiang Shaoyun will belong to the victor!” said the tomboy.

”Bring it on! You think I'm scared?”
