Chapter 1138 (2/2)
Long Chen and the others looked at each other with shock . So Hua s.h.i.+yu had actually had such a curious experience . It was no wonder she would suddenly believe Long Chen when he mentioned she would have three setbacks in her life .
Long Chen shook his head . “Didn’t I just tell you that fortune-telling is nonsense? Even if he was some expert from some Heavenly Fate Island, at most he is able to see through a few small things . But the future is always indistinct and in flux . Who would possibly be able to see it clearly? Even if it was fated that you would only live to twenty-three, just by telling you this, he added a new layer of karma . You know what this karma is . From the day you heard you would only live to twenty-three, your fate change . Who would believe such nonsense?”
Long Chen naturally scoffed at such things . Anyone with real skill wouldn’t randomly say something like that as it would fundamentally cause karma . By reading a person’s fortune for them, they had changed their fate . Wasn’t that precisely going against the fate the heavens had prescribed for them? How was that any different from asking the heavens to smite them?
“Long Chen, I’m begging you . I just want to know this . I can be at peace if you can help me,” begged Hua s.h.i.+yu .
Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, and Zhao Ziyan all looked at the always unyielding Hua s.h.i.+yu . Seeing her begging like this, they didn’t know what emotion they were supposed to feel .
No one wasn’t afraid of death . Everyone had their own dreams . Everyone had their brothers, sisters, and parents .
“Long Chen, you can’t care so much about those things now . We’re all cultivators, and we don’t have the same misgivings as the people of the secular world . Please help sister s.h.i.+yu read her bones . ” Tang Wan-er pushed Long Chen toward Hua s.h.i.+yu . At the same time, two of her fingers lightly pressed against his back .
Long Chen knew that she was warning him not to mess around . No matter what he read, he couldn’t tell that cruel truth .
He swore inside . She truly overestimated him . He was purely messing around, but now… just what was he supposed to do?
Who would have thought things would progress to this point? If he once more did what he did before, then that would be inhumane .
And yet, not touching her was not an option either . Long Chen had an urge to slap himself in the face . If he touched, he was a beast . If he didn’t, he was worse than a beast . Just what had he done to himself?
Hua s.h.i.+yu actually began to take off her outer clothes . Her snow-white skin revealed itself to him . She was irresistibly beautiful, but Long Chen didn’t know where he was supposed to put his hands .
Was he supposed to hold her arms from below or from above? His head buzzed and his sweat dripped down from it . He hadn’t been nervous when fighting against Han Zhenyu, but now his body was rigid .
“Hurry up!” Tang Wan-er saw that Long Chen simply had his hands extended, but didn’t dare to actually place his palms on Hua s.h.i.+yu’s arms, so she urged him on . She thought he was just embarra.s.sed . But now wasn’t the time for him to be embarra.s.sed .
Hua s.h.i.+yu clearly had a great deal of faith in what that Heavenly Fate Island expert had said . She was filled with antic.i.p.ation and was restless . She clearly didn’t want to die yet . Now was not the time to care about trivialities .
Long Chen clenched his teeth and placed his hands on Hua s.h.i.+yu’s arms . He had decided that he had to continue acting . In any case, all he had to say was that the expert had been full of c.r.a.p .
But Long Chen didn’t want to continue, because this wasn’t just taking a little advantage . If he still had such thoughts at such a time, he would look down upon himself .
In order to make his act more believable, he began to secretly circulate the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . He closed his eyes, and a soft light appeared on his palms .
That was Long Chen’s spiritual yuan . He used his spiritual yuan to feel Hua s.h.i.+yu’s bones . This way, it wouldn’t go too far .
As Long Chen’s hands went over Hua s.h.i.+yu’s arms, she trembled . A strange feeling came from those large hands that made her red and breathe faster .
But when Long Chen’s hands reached Hua s.h.i.+yu’s shoulders, he suddenly frowned . His hands slowly moved toward Hua s.h.i.+yu’s chest .
“Ahh!” Hua s.h.i.+yu suddenly let out a startled cry . Not only her, but Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, and Zhao Ziyan also cried out .
When Long Chen’s hands pressed against Hua s.h.i.+yu’s ample chest, black qi began to pour out of her chest, forming a black figure in the air in front of her .
A pained expression appeared on Hua s.h.i.+yu’s face . It was like her heart had been pulled out, and she was as pale as paper .
“Sorcery?”
Long Chen opened his eyes . A bright light shone in them .
