Chapter 488 Fluttering Hear (1/2)

Starlight burst out of Wu Ding's burly body and he was embodied within the high-speed light. His mana stirred within him and his facial expression was starting to get twisted.

The Flying Stars Incantation did not operate according to his will. The operating speed of his mana was nearing his limit, and Shen Lian was paying close attention to Wu Ding's condition.

Fortunately, the martial exercise had spirituality and co-existed with its master. It stopped right before the breaking point.

After a while, the starlight shrouding Wu Ding faded away. It was only then did the Flying Stars Incantation stopped operating.

Shen Lian gave a wave with his hand, a gust of chilly air current seeped into Wu Ding's major acupoints. Eventually, the air current congregated within his body and coursed through his meridians, soothing out the hidden damages dealt by the operation of the Flying Stars Incantation earlier.

Wu Ding took a few deep breaths and restricted the mana in his body to his Qihai. He gestured respectfully to Shen Lian, ”Thank you, prince.”

Shen Lian smiled and replied, ”Why don't you follow me to the Dynasty School?”

Lei Jing pointed at Wu Ding, ”Come and lead the horse.”

Wu Ding was taken aback, but he proceeded to lead the horse. Shen Lian however, refused, ”You are an old acquaintance of mine, there is no need for this.”

Lei Jing puffed her cheeks and continued to lead the horse. Despite her intelligence, she was still a teenage girl. She instructed Wu Ding as part of her effort to calm her heart that still fluttered from witnessing Shen Lian's punch earlier.

Shen Lian's punch had cut off the Xia Canal and sent the heart of a teenage girl beating intensely. So it seemed that this young teacher had such strong power, power that was comparable to her grandfather's.

When she was a child, she followed her grandfather - the clan leader of Youhu, Lei Hong to hunt outside of town. A thousand-foot-hill blocked his way, which he had then shattered into ashes with just a single punch.

Although, Lei Jing was unaware that Shen Lian's punch derived its force from the world, while her grandfather's punch was a manifestation of his own capabilities. Both were significantly different methods of cultivation and were hence difficult to be compared with each other.

When they first met, Lei Jing saw Shen Lian as a good-looking young man who came to the manor to ask for a favor. His black tiger piqued her interest. Before coming to the school, she was surprised to find out that he was connected to Guan Longzi and had taken in disciples together.

Due to this previous encounter, she defied her father's order and chose Shen Lian as her teacher without hesitation. Shen Lian played better than the best musician in the palace, and she knew that he was a prince from a small and remote nation in Xirong.

She was becoming more and more curious. However, Shen Lian's impartiality towards her did not sit well with her ego. She was not fond of him. This was why she offered her analysis when Guan Longzi requested for Shen Lian's help, just so that Shen Lian would take her seriously and hold her in higher regards.

Lei Jing could tell that Shen Lian did see her in a different light. However, that was not enough because Shen Lian was not surprised yet.

Now, every ounce of her pride was shattered by Shen Lian's punch earlier.

As she was guiding the horse, she stood at a close distance to Shen Lian. Previously, she noticed his fresh scent. However, her current state of mind was different.

After all, she was only sixteen years old.

Of course, someone of Shen Lian's caliber would have noticed Lei Jing's miniscule transition. The transition was beneficial to Shen Lian. At least he knew that this proud young girl would be more obedient when he taught her later.

However, Shen Lian wondered how she would feel if she were to find out that she will be expecting a younger sister as Shen Lian had made her father consume the river water from Zimu River.

Of course, if the Prefect Grand Usher, Lei Nuo found out about the function of the river water from Zimu River, he would probably be dying to skin Shen Lian alive regardless of the scheming and calculating person that he was. In fact, it might even involve a life and death struggle.

Shen Lian who rode on the white horse queried suddenly, ”Do you think a man could give birth to a child?”

Wu Ding seemed confused. Lei Jing stared at Shen Lian, she thought that he would look good as a female with his gentle features.

”Weirdo,” Lei Jing replied.

Shen Lian was shocked. Too bad that he could not tell Lei Jing about her father. Shen Lian raised his head and tried his best to suppress his laughter.
