Chapter 387 (2/2)

A smear of confusion immediately flashed within Luo Li’s beautiful eyes. In the end, extending her slim and slender jade-like arms, she embraced Mu Chen’s neck, giving in to Mu Chen for the picking.

After enjoying this little bit of warmth from her, Mu Chen was unwilling to relinquish it that quickly. Quietly slipping his hand within the young girl’s dress, he took a grab at that perky lump of warm jade fat within his palm.

“Mu Chen! Mu Chen!”

However, just as Mu Chen’s loins had started raging with intense fire, hurried cries rang out from below the building.

The cries immediately broke the fiery and intoxicating atmosphere, with Luo Li being the first to snap out of it. That absolutely beautiful and calm face of hers instantly turned scorching hot. Hastily shoving Mu Chen away, she stood up and arranged her dress. Filled with resentment, her beautiful eyes stared at Mu Chen as she thought, This fellow truly is such a bad guy.

Seeing her glare at him, Mu Chen gave a dry laugh, before looking down at Zhou Ling below him. Gnashing his teeth unhappily, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Luckily this fellow knew the rules, and never rushed up to the building. If he saw the scene of Luo Li being as soft as water just now, Mu Chen could guarantee that fellow’s extermination.

“Su’er brought an Elder to find you…” Spotting the unhappy expression hanging on Mu Chen’s face, Zhou Ling could only reply in the most straightforward and innocent manner.

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen instantly gawked. Elder? Look’s like it’s Elder Sister Ling Xi. Why did she come here for?

“Is that your Elder Sister Ling Xi?” Luo Li’s charming face gradually recovered to normalcy. Moving closer to him, her beautiful eyes shot a look at Mu Chen, while an indescribable expression appeared within.

Feeling embarrassed, Mu Chen nodded his head.

“Let’s go take a look. In any case, she’s already here,” said Luo Li with a faint smile.

Making a bitter laugh, Mu Chen held her hand, before shooting out of the building, descending towards the public square in the Freshman region. Within the centre of the public square, the familiar beautiful figure of Ling Xi was currently standing there.

In the surroundings of the public square, the crowds of the Goddess Luo Association were sneaking peeks as whispering sounds rang out.

“She’s really an Elder of our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy? Is that possible? How can she be that young?!”

“I’ve heard that she’s a Spiritual Array Grandmaster, possessing extremely terrifying strength.”

“Her age seems to not be that much older than us…can she be like Elder Zhu Tian?”

“I don’t think so, the feeling’s different…”

“Why’s she finding Big Brother Mu Chen? Could it be…hehe…”

“Are you seeking your death? If Big Sis hear’s that, won’t she chop you up!?”

“……”

Upon hearing those whispers ringing within the public square, Mu Chen could only shake his head in helplessness. With a move, he appeared before Ling Xi and Su’er as he asked with a smile, “Elder Sister Ling Xi, is there something wrong, for you to suddenly come to the Freshman region?”

Raising her charming eyes, Ling Xi shot a look towards Mu Chen, before taking a look at Luo Li, who was standing beside him. Gently nodding her head, her eyebrows started to slightly knit up as she spoke out, “Why didn’t you head to my place to cultivate?”

With a smile, Mu Chen replied, “Elder Sister Ling Xi. Let me handle my cultivate from this point onwards. I’m truly grateful for your help during the past half-month.”

Ling Xi’s eyebrows knitted more tightly as she asked, “If you rely on yourself, it’ll be extremely difficult to break through to Heavenly Completion Stage within the next half-month. Why do you reject my offer? If you’re afraid of me suffering a loss, you truly don’t need to. My cultivation is just stopping for only a month.”

Giving a slow shake of his head, Mu Chen replied with a soft voice, “Elder Sister Ling Xi, the only thing I’m doing is believing in myself.”

Startled, Ling Xi looked towards Mu Chen. At this moment, the youth’s eyes were sparkling with brightness, brimming with genuine self-confidence. Compared to the day when he had come to find her, this was clearly an entirely different expression.

“Elder Sister Ling Xi, I’m really grateful for your help. I know…that you helping me is really due to your relationship with my mum. You’re only wishing to divert the feelings of gratitude to my mum towards me…”

Ling Xi had a cold and detached personality, and took deep precautions to isolate herself from others. Mu Chen wasn’t being narcissistic when he said those words, since he knew about the true reason for her actions. If not for her relationship with his mum, the current Ling Xi might still be treating him with the icy and cold manner she had done during their first encounter; what’s more, using such a method of self-hurt herself to help him.

Mu Chen continued speaking with earnesty, “However, don’t spoil me too much, Elder Sister Ling Xi. I believe that if my mum knew that I had used such a method to gain strength, she might be extremely disappointed in me.”

“Furthermore…”

Flinging his mouth aside, Mu Chen said in helplessness, “I also really don’t want to see your weak appearance. That look isn’t beautiful.”

As Ling Xi gawked, she appeared startled as she looked towards the handsome youth in front of her. The latter’s smile was as radiant as the sun, causing even her cold and frosted-over heart to faintly tremble.

After remaining silent for a long time, a gentle smile finally appeared on her face. This smile caused quite a few students to fixedly stare at her. Compared to Luo Li, Ling Xi clearly had a graceful bearing that was unique to her.

Slowly walking up, her jade-like hand extended out, touching Mu Chen’s face. Within her eyes, genuine feelings of love and pampering radiated out, before she spoke out with a sigh, “You really are Aunt Jing’s child. Those previous words might be due to Aunt Jing, however…”

A smile crept on her face as she continue, “Your Elder Sister really likes the current you.”

Immediately, an embarrassed expression appeared on Mu Chen’s face.

“Okay. I won’t force you. I believe that you’re able to succeed. However, it’s best that you come to my place to cultivate. I’ll try my best to help you, but I’ll not use that method again.”

This time, Mu Chen didn’t continue rejecting her help, then smiled as he nodded his head.

…

As this incident took place within the Freshman region, Dean Tai Cang and the five Heavenly Seated Elders were sitting within a large hall in the central region of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. In front of them was a glowing Spiritual Energy screen, with the scene happening within the Freshman region displayed on it.
