Chapter 192 - The Reversal Of Tides (2/2)
Lonemoon frowned. Now he was certain that Xuan Tong was no longer the female lead. Female leads would never be caught in such a miserable situation.
“Is there… really no other way?” No matter what, Xuan Tong was part of his sect, and as a nanny…. correction, as an elder he had a duty towards her.
Shu Jiang looked at Chu Xuan before answering hesitantly, “There… is a way!”
“What is it?”
“Has Young Emperor ever heard of the Luo Han stone?”
“…” What’s that?
“Luo Han Stone!” exclaimed Chu Xuan. “Are you talking about the stone belonging to Emperor Xin Han of Yi Shui continent?”
“That’s right!” Shu Jiang nodded his head. “It’s Emperor Xin Han’s divine artifact.” Since He Chuan’s emperor was here, perhaps they could borrow it from him. “It’s said that this stone is the coldest thing in the world, it can freeze the sea instantly. As it can counteract Fellow Immortal Xuan Tong’s fiery qi, we can use it to expel this qi from her body and then slowly restore her foundation.”
“Emperor Xin Han…” Lonemoon frowned. It seemed they were back to dealing with this asshole Xin Han. That fox demon had stolen the Spirit Convening Lamp to save him. Now they had to borrow the Luo Han Stone from him. How the tides have reversed!
“Thank you Exalted Immortal Shu.” Lonemoon saluted Shu Jiang.
“You’re welcome, Young Emperor.” Shu Jiang hurriedly returned the salute. After thinking a while, he added, “By the way, it is advisable not to move Fellow Immortal Xuan Tong. It’s best that you bring the stone back here. Time is short. If her fiery qi is not removed soon, it will be very difficult to restore her foundation.”
“Right, we’ll take note,” replied Lonemoon with a nod.
After leaving a few more instructions, Shu Jiang went back to check on Xuan Tong.
“Looks like we have to make a trip to see Xin Han. There’s no time to lose. Shen Ying, let’s go… Shen Ying? Shen Ying!” Lonemoon gave Shen Ying, who was still holding on to her fruit, a shake.
“Huh?” Startled, Shen Ying, dropped her fruit.
Yi Qing quickly passed her another fruit.
“What’s wrong with you?” Lonemoon looked at her in puzzlement. She had even forgotten to chew her fruit, this was a first! “Ever since Xuan Tong’s Heavenly Tribulation, you don’t seem to be yourself.”
“Master?” Yi Qing looked at Shen Ying with concern. “Your food intake seems to have decreased by about… one percent!”
“…” Do you need to be so accurate?
-_-|||
Lonemoon’s eyes widened as a thought came to him, “Have you… discovered some other problem?”
“Not exactly…” replied Shen Ying, cocking her head. After a while, she straightened up and looked earnestly at the two men. “Chef, Father Niu. Do you think…”
“Wait!” Lonemoon gestured for her to stop. “Don’t tell us now!”
“Huh?” Why?
Lonemoon replied gravely, “Every time you get serious, I will feel a BUFF epiphany coming on. We still need to rush to Yi Shui continent! Wait until I’m more prepared!”
Yi Qing: “…”
Chu Xuan: “…”
Shen Ying: “…” Son of a b*tch!
