Chapter 1146: Something to remember me by (1/2)
Han Yunxi was a little concerned about the child in her womb, too. She clutched the Moye sword with both hands as she looked questioningly at Long Feiye. This was a risk! She’d let him decide.
Long Feiye’s brows were tightly knitted as he looked into the distance. There, the heavily wounded Bai Yanqing had been trussed up like a zongzi by Gu Qishao. Multipl vines were currently flying into the air.
He abruptly decided by placing his hand over Han Yunxi’s. “I’ll help you via dual cultivation.”
Dual cultivation?
He wants to do that while I’m quelling the Moye sword spirit?
This…
“Excellent idea!” Gu Beiyue was delighted. He could finally back off and watch from a distance.
“Just listen to me,” Long Feiye murmured. He held onto Han Yunxi from behind and placed both hands over hers on the sword. Like their previous sessions, dual cultivation began with the heart, so they quietly began to sense each other’s existence and breathing. Unlike other times, Han Yunxi was using Phoenix energy instead of Celestial Mountain’s Nirvana Heart energy. As thick waves of it circled around the Moye sword, it was soon supplemented by Long Feiye’s Lustbite energy. The two forces seem alive as they intertwined with each other like a pair of lovers.
The strong Moye spirit seemed affected by the two energies as it slowly calmed down. Soon enough, Long Feiye released Han Yunxi and the Moye sword gave a jolt. As Long Feiye moved to touch her again, Han Yunxi muttered, “It’s fine, I can do it!”
Only then did Long Feiye stop worrying. He took out his Ganjiang sword and flipped next to Han Yunxi. Gesturing with a gaze, he saw her nod in return and attacked. Han Yunxi was now split between quelling the Moye sword spirit and dealing with Long Feiye.
It was much harder than the past, but she could still wield her new sword. With two hands, she blocked Long Feiye’s blow with a clang. Although both swords were strong, Moye was quick to waver beneath the strike like a submissive subject!
Thrilled, Han Yunxi released one hand and began to make sweeping slashes at Long Feiye, who returned the blows. It seemed like they were fighting, but it was also akin to a dance. They varied between attacking and parrying while Gu Beiyue watched with a warm smile form the sidelines. Seeing the princess like this confirmed that she had gotten past the worst of it to quell her sword spirit. Technically speaking, it was probably His Highness’s Ganjiang sword’s help that did it, or else it might not have succeeded. If His Highness ever wanted to use the Moye sword in the future, it’d be a simple affair.
Of course, the reverse wasn’t true for the princess and the Ganjiang sword. Even if she cultivated to the full extent of her Phoenix energy, she’d still be a far cry from His Highness’s strength. Still, Gu Beiyue knew that the princess was the only person in the world capable of quelling His Highness.
While Gu Beiyue was lost in thought, Gu Qishao suddenly shouted at him, “Gu Beiyue, throw me some rations, I’m so hungry!”
Gu Beiyue looked over and couldn’t help laughing out loud. Gu Qishao was carrying the tied-up Bai Yanqing on his back. He’d even gagged the man’s mouth with vines, leaving nothing to see but his eyes. Gu Beiyue had no qualms bringing over Gu Qishao’s bamboo basket.
Thrilled at the sight of food, Gu Qishao sat down with his back to the dueling couple, leaving Bai Yanqing with a full view of Long Feiye and Han Yunxi’s sword dance. He could tell the two were on the final, most crucial stage of their dual cultivation and only felt stifled at the sight. His heart was going to explode! Yet he couldn’t say a word, much less move to stop them.
Gu Qishao had given him an excellent view to witness it all!
Gu Qishao was rather reluctant to eat any of the food, but he’d used a lot of blood to nurture his vines and need nutrients to avoid fainting from hunger. Since the supplies were reserved for Poison lass, he only ate a bit. He couldn’t resist making conversation with Bai Yanqing either.
“Old thing, are you hungry? It’s pretty miserable to starve but not be able to die.”
“Old thing, why are you so useless? You spent all that effort to stop Poison lass’s dual cultivation, but she’s dual cultivating right in front of you now. Why aren’t you stopping them? Go on, hurry up!”
“Aye...Old thing, do you have any motivation after ending up like this? Is it interesting? Isn’t it better to die? Oh right, I forgot you can’t die.”
“Old thing, I’m really afraid of pain, you know? Are you? I’ve always wondered if our skin is really so immaculate? Will it recover from any kind of injury?” As Gu Qishao prattled on, he grew serious. “This old man can’t heal as fast as you. Hey, if I castrate you, will you recover?”
Bai Yanqing’s body shuddered at the words as he broke out in cold sweat.
Gu Qishao laughed out loud. “Tsk tsk tsk, I’m a genius!” He’d forgotten that it was a certain woman who’d brought up castration first.
Bai Yanqing was both physically and mentally attacked! He forgot all about Long Feiye and Han Yunxi as he fearfully dreaded the types of humiliation awaiting him after their dual cultivation was done!
At last, he was afraid!
At last...he wished for death!
If...if Long Feiye completes his cultivation with the Lustbite energy, he should just kill me with one sword!
