Chapter 490 Flower of the Other Shore (2/2)

Lei Jing protested playfully and dragged her last note, ”Tea...cher.”

Shen Lian smiled in his heart; so it seemed that women everywhere were flirtatious. This was probably their innate talent.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

He spoke with a serious tone, ”Disciple.” After speaking in a serious manner, he did not speak further.

Noticing how unbreachable he was, Lei Jing spoke, ”You wouldn't let me lose in the battle three months from now right? I am ready for my first lesson now.”

Shen Lian replied, ”Alright, here we go.”

Lei Jing seemed surprised. She did not expect Shen Lian to grant her request so easily. Actually, it was not that Xiahou and Youhu did not have any exceptional occult techniques. However, these occult techniques were too cruel and lacked aesthetic values. In spite of the power of his techniques, Shen Lian was always elegant and graceful while using those techniques. Even though she appreciated manliness in a man, she was attracted to Shen Lian - a graceful man who attained an advanced state of cultivation.

With Shen Lian as her role model, she was assured that she would not look too vulgar after going through the cultivation process.

Of course, it was her intention to increase the time she spent with Shen Lian too.

As she was thinking, she opened her perfume pouch. A small box flew out of it and landed right on her fair hands. The box was made out of ten-thousand-year-old ebony, something that would elicit the envy of any Qi cultivator who set eyes on it. Ebony was resistant to water and fire, and it was tough. It was difficult to estimate its power when it was used to manufacture flying needles and flying swords. Even with the strongest of body, it would be difficult to resist the attack of the instrument.

Yet, the ebony was turned into a box for treasured belongings. Lei Jing looked at Shen Lian, ”Eh, since I am taking you as my teacher, it is right and proper for me to present you with a gift. Ten over years ago, this Flower of the Other Shore bloomed on the shore of blood-red Asura sea. This is extremely rare. A monk from Da Jue Temple secured it and gave it to my uncle. My uncle passed it on to me as my birthday gift. Now, this shall be my gift to you.”

She opened the box, revealing a flower that was red as the fire inside. The fire had a stem but not leaves. It rested within the box quietly.

Shen Lian found himself faced with extreme hunger as he looked at the Flower of the Other Shore that was red as fire. He desperately wanted to give the Flower of the Other Shore a bite.

This was a feeling stemming from the soul and not something that he could eliminate.

Shen Lian suppressed his instinct and accepted the box casually. He closed the box.

He remained calm and at ease, battling his impulses at the same time. Lei Jing did not notice anything.

Shen Lian whispered, ”Aren't you afraid that your father would find out about this?”

He had seen enough to know that he should remain cautious where the desire to ingest the Flower of the Other Shore manifested itself. After all, even if he would be able to attain the state of Taiyi immediately after ingesting the Flower of the Other Shore, he would still think thrice before doing so.

When dealing with power that was not within one's control, one should remain extremely cautious. Unless absolutely necessary, Shen Lian would not look out for these strange encounters.

Lei Jing spoke, ”I get to decide what I want to do with my property. Moreover, my mother is the master of the house.”

If Prefect Grand Usher Lei Nuo were here now, he would probably wish that he had never given birth to his daughter. Shen Lian smiled, ”It seems like Prefect Grand Usher led quite a pitiable life.”

Lei Jing thought about how her father coaxed her mother usually and laughed, ”My father called this his little boudoir pleasure.”

Judging from Lei Jing's emotions, Shen Lian decided that the Flower of the Other Shore had nothing to do with Prefect Grand Usher Lei Nuo. Moreover, his premonition did not go off because of the Flower of the Other Shore. It seemed like there was something more behind the Flower of the Other Shore and this was unlikely to be some part of a malicious plot against him.

He did not want to seem overly enthusiastic about the Flower of the Other Shore in front of Lei Jing. He spoke, ”I shall accept the gift. Let's begin our first lesson now.”

Lei Jing nodded and was curious about the content of Shen Lian's lesson. However, she fell into a deep slumber after hearing Shen Lian speak.
