Chapter 108: Guest (2)

A clear breeze blew gently across the small building near the lake. Outside, jade-green waves lapped up against its walls.

Su Chen sat in a pavilion near the lake. Gu Qingluo’s dainty hands held a jade teapot as she poured out tea, which gave the scene a certain taste.

Before, when he and Gu Qingluo met, it would always be furtively, in the forest behind the mountain. They would either spar or take baths, or they would secretly discuss matters related to the Spirit Burying Terrace. It wasn’t until today that he finally had an opportunity to observe Gu Qingluo from a different perspective.

In the end, she was still an important young miss from a large clan. Every move she made exuded a certain kind of nobility.

As he watched her current appearance, then thought about Gu Qingluo’s free, unfettered, and adorable behavior around himself, Su Chen felt that truly, every beautiful woman from the heavens had a side that others did not know about.

He was lucky. Because he was blind, Gu Qingluo did not have any defenses around him, and had revealed herself completely to him. Because of this, he had also become her good friend.

For anyone else, become Gu Qinluo’s close companion would not be easy.

“Right, you still haven’t told me; how did you catch Lin Yemao?” Gu Qingluo asked as she poured out more tea. “Lin Yemao used the Gu Clan’s bloodline medicine, and his strength should have increased greatly. Capturing him couldn’t have been easy, right?”

“I am not clear about his true strength, but I didn’t use too much energy to capture him.” Su Chen described the process of his battle with Lin Yemao to Gu Qingluo.

Upon hearing Su Chen had only used a metal-eating bug and Iron Cliff to successfully launch a sneak-attack on Lin Yemao, Gu Qingluo couldn’t help but laughing.

Miss Gu’s laugh was warm, sweet, and beautiful. She never revealed her teeth when smiling, and she was usually pure and quiet. She had quite a name for herself in the Lin Clan. Common people didn’t even dare think of getting a pleasant expression from her. Even the Heaven’s Chosens of the Lin Clan all spoke very carefully in front of her.

This was her first time laughing in this kind of way.

Lin Yuehan and Lin Shouye, who were stuck watching from afar, both felt dumbfounded.

Su Chen didn’t know how precious this laughter was. He continued to converse with Gu Qingluo.

Gu Qingluo said, “So you just kept him locked up for that many days? And you didn’t find it boring?”

Su Chen replied, “Why would it be boring? I captured him because he had some use to me.”

“What use?”

“Analyzing the Soaring Serpent Bloodline.”

“Analyzing the Soaring Serpent Bloodline?” Gu Qingluo’s eyes opened wide out of shock.

“Yes!” Su Chen nodded his head with surety.

He had not intended on hiding this matter from Gu Qingluo, and there was no need to.

Humans had never stopped analyzing bloodlines. This world was not for the complacent. Rather, people were always searching for ways to advance. However, the study of science was mostly for one’s own use, to allow one to become stronger.

Right after the Arcana Kingdom fell into ruin, mankind had taken up the mantle of analyzing bloodlines.

Humanity had grand dreams- they wanted to accomplish all that the Arcana race had and more. Yet in the end they were unable to even recreate what the Arcana Race had achieved- they did not obtain any more powerful Origin Energy, and they were not even able to reconstruct the Bloodline Extraction Instrument.

Even so, the human race continued to strive. They had never given up on their pursuit of bloodlines and Origin Energy power.

Thus, Su Chen had no need to deny it.

“What do you want to do?” Gu Qingluo asked.

“I just wanted to see whether or not I could find a substitute that would allow me to do what you can do, even without the Soaring Serpent Bloodline.

“So did you suceed?” Gu Qingluo asked with a smile.

Su Chen shook his head.

While he didn’t need to hide his motives, he absolutely needed to conceal the results.

If the Gu Clan were to discover that Su Chen had really invented an Origin Substance Medicine that could raise the effectiveness of using the Snaking Mist Steps without a bloodline, there would definitely be turmoil.

Even if it was just a small increase.

Gu Qingluo covered her mouth and laughed. “Now you know how wild your imagination is, right? Bloodline powers is the best method for circulating Origin Energy that my clan’s founder left behind. How could you surpass it so easily?”

Once again, Lin Yuehan and Lin Shouye were dazed when they saw this from afar.

In such a short period of time, she had laughed twice.

Did Su Chen have some kind of secret technique that could charm Second Miss to this point?
