202 Connection II (1/2)
He and Jasmine met under the bright glow of the full moon and once again, a white energy emerged from the Tear of Chang Xi. The tendrils wrapped around Jasmine gently and buzzed with excitement.
”Baby! Jasmine! You've already reached the 2nd stage in a month. You're so talented, just like mommy!” Zhiyue Lingdan praised, ”How was the Legacy of Moonlight? Do you have any questions? If you work at it, you'll soon break through to the Spirit King Realm in no time at all!”
”Mom…”
”Baby, you're still so skinny. Did you eat anything the last month? Is that trashy sect you joined feeding you enough?”
”Mom… I'm fine.”
The spirit was about to go into another rant but Chen Wentian couldn't stand it anymore.
”Ahem!” He coughed loudly.
”And just who are you?” She turned on him, ”You dare cough at me? A peasant like you? Do you know…”
”Mom!” Jasmine cut in, ”He's the sect master that I mentioned.”
”Oh.”
The spirit tendrils moved off Jasmine and spun around his body before pulling back.
”You're quite young for a Spirit Lord, how did you manage that?” Zhiyue Lingdan asked.
”I am the youngest immortal in history so naturally, I have to keep my secrets secret.”
”Pfft… youngest? I don't know. There are plenty that have broken through pretty quickly. Perhaps not as young as you but pretty close.”
”I can assure you.”
She laughed mockingly, ”What gives you that confidence? A human with an overinflated ego…”
Chen Wentian was beyond annoyed and showed his true power. Blue flames erupted his body and blazed with unbearable intensity. Even Jasmine was forced back slightly by the pressure.
”I can assure you.” He said again, ”My ego is just the right size.”
Zhiyue Lingdan didn't speak for a long time. It seemed she was thinking of something. Finally, the white tendrils emerged again and stopped in front of Chen Wentian's face.
”You… where did you get that power? You're just a simple human, how did you steal the power of the divine dragon?” Her voice was grave and deathly serious.
