Chapter 340 - It’s You I Want (1/2)
9th grade spiritual weapon Anchoring Soul Bead. It was an astonishing treasure for soul defense never seen before in Tianyu. It was unique. A defensive treasure everyone was willing to die for.
When Radiant Stage and above experts fought, the emphasis shifted towards the soul. And with the Anchoring Soul Bead, one’s soul was safe and sound.
It even had the miraculous ability to simulate one’s essence when their soul was gravely damaged.
With Xue Ningxiang’s essence stolen for three days, she had collapsed. It was the strength of her soul that waned, unable to support her consciousness. In fact, her soul had yet to fully scatter back then.
If she had the Anchoring Soul Bead then, her life would’ve been saved.
And with the help of some medicine, she would regain her essence to connect with her soul and regain her consciousness. This was the only way to recover.
Looking at her sleeping face, it was clear that she was saved in the nick of time.
Zhuo Fan was overjoyed, “Edifice Lord Chu, than-“
“Call me Qingcheng!” Glaring at him, Chu Qingcheng snapped, but then her eyes bloomed with joy, “Now you can no longer be depressed.”
Flushing, Zhuo Fan scratched his pale face awkwardly and switched topics, “Uh, right, where did you get the 9th grade spiritual weapon, Anchoring Soul Bead? Was Drifting Flowers Edifices hiding it?”
“Of course. We may not be the strongest of the houses, but our treasury has filled over the last thousand of years. Is it that strange? Did you think we only had Bodhi Root?”
Chu Qingcheng held her head high like a proud lady. The powerful image left even Zhuo Fan speechless.
But Zhuo Fan was unable to see the sorrow hidden in her eyes.
Gasping, Zhuo Fan said, “Now we just have to find some ingredients to heal her mind and Ning’er will wake up!”
“Do you know where to find them?” Chu Qingcheng smiled.
Zhuo Fan shook his head and shrugged, but his mind was set, “No, but with Ning’er’s soul affixed, we have the time to look for them. I will even search outside Tianyu’s borders if I have to!”
Chu Qingcheng looked at the sleeping Xue Ningxiang with envy.
[He will do anything for her. But what will he do for me?]
Chu Qingcheng said, “Zhuo Fan, what were you trying to say?”
“Uh, I want to thank you…” Zhuo Fan looked at her oddly.
Chu Qingcheng smiled, “That’s it? How are you going to thank me?”
“Uh, how do you want me to…” Zhuo Fan scratched his white hair clueless.
Chu Qingcheng grinned, “First… close your eyes.”
[Eh?]
Zhuo Fan looked at her oddly, but then he saw the glare in her eyes and closed them on the spot.
[What’s she planning?]
Chu Qingcheng drew near Zhuo Fan and pecked his cheek.
Shivering, Zhuo Fan was about to open his eyes but only heard Chu Qingcheng’s soft voice in his ear, “Don’t look!”
Zhuo Fan snapped his eyes tighter than before.
With a graceful smile, Chu Qingcheng rested her head on his shoulder and whispered, “Hold me.”
Zhuo Fan’s heart thumped, freezing for a moment, but he did embrace her lovely body in the end.
Held close to his chest, Chu Qingcheng’s soft and peaceful voice came, “I want to go back to the time we spent in the run-down house in Drifting Flowers City, just the two of us. Zhuo Fan, you are not allowed to think about other girls at this moment, even Ning’er!”
Zhuo Fan shuddered, and bobbed his head without realizing.
Thus, the two held each other with closed eyes, as their mind drifted to those peaceful days.
After a long time, Chu Qingcheng opened her eyes and flicked his forehead with a smile, “Now you can open them.”
Zhuo Fan showed a pair of dazed eyes. Upon seeing the perfect beauty in front of him, his heart felt lost. He didn’t want to wake up as his hands still held her delicate waist for a long time.
Boring holes into him with her eyes, Chu Qingcheng giggled, “What’s wrong? Are you regretting it now? Too late. That’s the last time. From now on we are mere associates. Later you will stay with Ning’er and I’ll lead Drifting Flowers Edifices. We will never cross paths again, lest we be led astray.”
