Chapter 357 (2/2)

“Don’t resist.”

When Ling Xi’s palms were touching Mu Chen’s, she spoke out in a soft voice. In the next instant, a wave of boundless Spiritual Energy erupted from her palms. Conveniently flowing through Mu Chen’s palms, it entered his meridians, before unexpectedly making contact with Mu Chen’s Spiritual Energy.

Mu Chen was instantly shocked, since this was an extremely dangerous thing to do. The Spiritual Energy produced from various forms of cultivations were all different. Once they made contact with one another, intense repulsion would erupt from them, causing extremely serious damage towards both parties.

However, just as Mu Chen was hesitating to break the contact off, the two Spiritual Energies came into contact. In the next instant, something that caused Mu Chen’s heart and mind to tremble started to happen…

As the two Spiritual Energies made contact, the repulsion that he had imagined did not appear. Instead, the two Spiritual Energies had actually started to fuse together.

As the fused Spiritual Energy surged within Mu Chen’s body, he discovered, with a shock, that the heavy injuries that he had suffered earlier were actually starting to recover at an astonishing speed.

After a short span of less than ten minutes, the injuries within Mu Chen’s body were completely healed… the rate of recovery caused Mu Chen to turn dumbfounded by the sight before him. Even with his small accomplishment to his Thunder God Physique, he would need to rest and recuperate for at least an entire day to recover from the injuries that he had previously suffered.

In shock, Mu Chen raised his head, and looked in disbelief towards the Ling Xi in front of him. At this moment, the bafflement within his heart was getting increasingly thicker. Why would this happen?

Only when all the injuries on Mu Chen’s body had completely recovered did the fused Spiritual Energy start to slowly dissociate, bit by bit. After that, the wave of Spiritual Energy travelled through his meridians, before reentering Ling Xi’s body.

As the Spiritual Energy returned to Ling Xi’s body, her delicate figure faintly shivered, before a faint reddish hue surfaced on her skin. Withdrawing her jade-like hands, her long eyelashes started to faintly flutter.

“How could it do that?” Unable to hold it back, Mu Chen asked aloud. After his Spiritual Energy had fused with Ling Xi’s Spiritual Energy, why would it possess such strong regenerative power?

In a soft voice, Ling Xi replied, “It’s because I’ve previously cultivated the Great Pagoda Art…”

A faint shudder went through Mu Chen’s heart and mind as he thought, Ling Xi has actually cultivated the Great Pagoda Art? From the looks of it now, those words that she had previously said were definitely true.

However, could it be that people that have cultivated the Great Pagoda Art would be able to fuse their Spiritual Energies? This should be impossible! Even considering both parties had cultivated the same kind of Spiritual Art, the Spiritual Energy cultivated by everyone would have differences present within. Thus, they wouldn’t be able to achieve such a perfect degree of fusion.

However, why would they be able to fuse their Spiritual Energies to such a degree?

After thinking for a long time, he was still unable to get the slightest clue about it, and could only give up in helplessness. The bodies of the two of them seemed to be hiding some secrets, and these secrets should have ties to Mu Chen’s mother.

Raising his head, Mu Chen gazed towards the figure of the lady within the painting that made people feel calm and peaceful, before gently sighing in his heart. Mother, exactly what is this all about…?

“Let it be, don’t get frustrated over this. All secrets will be revealed at one point. Although my memories have been tampered by someone, following the increase of my strength, I’ll one day be able to retrieve all of my memories back. At that time, I’ll be able to know exactly what had happened to me in the past.” Seeing Mu Chen frowning and pondering in deep thought, Ling Xi consoled him in a soft voice.

Mu Chen nodded his head, before feeling slightly unnatural. In the past few periods of time, he had already gotten used to Ling Xi’s cold and detached treatment towards him. However, with the sudden gentleness, he truly wasn’t used to it.

“In addition, the Great Pagoda Art isn’t as simple as you think. That black pagoda isn’t as weak as you imagined. The only thing resulting in that is due to you still being unable to touch on that marvelous point.”

Ling Xi started her warning, “Also, its best to reveal the black pagoda as little as possible. Although I’ve lost quite a lot of my memories, I’m able to feel that this thing would lure some very dangerous things if it’s exposed. Therefore, if it’s been discovered…you might end up with a lot of trouble.”

Mu Chen pulled his head back. The consideration and care shown by Ling Xi truly made him feel slightly terrified.

“Okay.”

However, at this moment, he could only nodded his head.

“Let’s go. Let’s head out of here first.” Looking once again at the painting on the wall, Ling Xi spoke out.

Hearing her instructions, Mu Chen nodded his head. Looking fondly at the blurry figure of the lady within the painting, he truly wished to take that painting away. However, it was obviously something that was extremely important to Ling Xi. Therefore, it would not be good for him to hog everything for himself.

“Mother, I’ve promised Dad that I’ll definitely find you.”

Looking towards the figure of the lady once again, Mu Chen took a deep breath of air, before turning and leaving the bamboo house.

As the two left the bamboo house, the atmosphere around them turned silent. In a short span of less than half a day, they had suffered an extremely huge emotional impact. From being originally having not the slightest bit of relationship, to a relationship so deep it was even binding…

Although they didn’t talk about it, when their Spiritual Energies had perfectly fused, the two of them already knew that their relationship wasn’t that simple after all.

“Ling Xi…Elder Ling Xi.”

Mu Chen finally broke the silence, before saying her name with some unnaturalness.

“Just call me Ling Xi.” Ling Xi replied after a moment of hesitation.

Hearing her words, Mu Chen also faintly hesitated. Nodding his head, his said, “I’ll come back tomorrow.”

Ling Xi nodded her small head.

Looking at the current situation, Mu Chen didn’t continue talking anymore. Just as he had turned around to leave, something went into his mind as he raised his head. He looked towards the northern position of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. There, in the middle of a giant hall, a scarlet red pillar of light suddenly rushed towards the sky. At the same time, an ear-piercing and urgent bell rang out, resounding across the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Such an urgent bell ring caused Mu Chen to gawk. Casting his gaze towards the direction of the sounds origin, it seemed to be the location of the Missions Hall. Exactly what had happened?
