Chapter 1384: Setting Off Again (1/2)

Jians.h.i.+ was much more reserved compared to Ruyan’s unrestrained personality. She contained her excitement and bowed towards Li Qiye: “Young n.o.ble, this is the greatest kindness you have given to our Void Imperfection Schools. We will never forget and hope that we shall be able to repay you one day.”

While looking at her elegant and mature expression, Li Qiye smiled and joked: “Don’t worry about repaying me. The future is too distant, who can say what will happen? But if you insist, follow your sister’s footsteps and give me a kiss. I don’t mind being taken advantage of again.”

Her face turned red despite knowing it was an obvious joke. She didn’t know how to properly respond.

“Oh? Young n.o.ble, I didn’t expect a peerless character like you to have some improper thoughts about someone else’s wife.” Ruyan cheerfully quipped before giving implicative glances at the two.

“There will always be some interesting things in life.” Li Qiye didn’t mind the comment and laughed as well.

Ruyan happily grinned: “Sister, what are you afraid of? You want to marry him anyway, so why be hesitant about a kiss? If he actually becomes emperor one day, it will be you taking advantage of him. Not just anyone in this world is qualified to kiss an Immortal Emperor.”

Li Qiye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this bold girl. She was a demoness who dared to speak her mind, a strong person who could love and hate and be true to her desires.

Jians.h.i.+’s face blushed even more after being teased like this. She looked just like the sunset on the horizon. Despite her always elegant and graceful bearing, she couldn’t help but lower her head at this moment.

However, she mustered courage out of nowhere and seemed to have discarded her inner inhibitions. With a rosy countenance and moist lips exuding her sweet orchid scent, she gave him a kiss on the lips.

Though this kiss didn’t last long, she felt a shock run through her body while her heart thumped violently. Li Qiye didn’t expect the dignified Jians.h.i.+ to actually kiss him.

He smiled and didn’t think too much of it. This was just an ordinary event to him, like water flowing downstream. It wasn’t enough to leave any ripples in his dao heart.

“Look, the beginning of everything is difficult, but it will be much easier later on. Perhaps this will be the start of a good marriage.” Ruyan chuckled in response: “Sister, just make up your mind and seduce him to leave behind an imperial bloodline.”

This directness embarra.s.sed Jians.h.i.+ completely as her face became even hotter.

“Stop fanning the flames.” Li Qiye pinched Ruyan’s nose and shook his head.

Jians.h.i.+ was still a schoolmaster, so she quickly dispelled her bashful state to regain her graceful bearing.

Li Qiye smiled at the two of them and said: “Okay, the two of you can take a look around. I’ll leave the bones.h.i.+p to you.”

Jians.h.i.+ found this surprising: “Where will you go?”

His eyes turned towards the distance: “I want to go check out the forbidden zone. There’s something I want there.”

This was his real purpose in visiting the Bonesea. It wasn’t for any treasure, it was solely for this item. After so many years, he finally understood its mysteries and uses.

“The forbidden zone!” Both the girls were shaken. This was a place no one dared to enter outside of Immortal Emperors!

Many brilliant geniuses have tried to do so. Some G.o.dkings who considered themselves to be invincible also entered. Alas, few could come out alive. Even those who escaped successfully had indelible wounds.

“Do you really want to go there? I heard the injuries gained in the forbidden zone are impossible to cure.” Jians.h.i.+ became quite worried.

It was too terrifying of a location. Even the mighty Zhentian wouldn’t easily tread into that area. He had the ambition to become emperor, so he would still be confident about coming out alive. However, an indelible wound was a real worry. This was something that could shake his dao heart.

For a cultivator, having an affected dao heart was the most serious of taboos. It would affect one for a lifetime, and their cultivation might be stuck in the same place forever as well.

Of course, they were confident in Li Qiye’s strength. Alas, no one could truly be confident in escaping the forbidden zone unscathed.

He smiled and replied: “It’s okay, it’s just the forbidden zone. It’s still not the most terrifying place just yet. There are worse locations in this h.e.l.lhole.”

After seeing that he had made up his mind, Ruyan and Jians.h.i.+ didn’t try to persuade him anymore.
