Chapter 977: Shameless (1/2)

This scene was simply too embarrassing. For a moment, Qianye couldn’t decide if he should pretend not to hear.

Seeing Qianye immobile, Li Kuanglan added, “I can’t make this movement.”

Her calm voice gave Qianye a modicum of relief. He understood Li Kuanglan’s injuries more than anyone else—that movement was likely to affect several fractured bones, not to mention the pain. Qianye might even have to reconnect some bones, at that point, and that would be even more awkward.

As such, Qianye reached out...

After Qianye had finished helping her, the two of them sat down face to face. “Where’s my sword?”

“I haven’t seen it, perhaps it fell somewhere else.”

Li Kuanglan frowned ever so slightly. “That sword is fairly special, it’ll be best if we can find it. Are we close to where I landed?”

Qianye shook his head. “We’d best not, at least not now. I can sense a certain danger near that place, that’s why I moved you here.”

Li Kuanglan nodded. “If even you feel threatened, I might not be able to handle it even after I’m healed, that is unless we cooperate.”

“Let’s discuss that after you’re better.”

Li Kuanglan nodded. “Tell me about this place, it feels extremely strange. There’s nothing to explain this kind of gravity.”

Qianye narrated some of his findings and the experiences from the night. Naturally, he skipped over the treatment process, but he had to summarize how they had gotten through the cold night as it was of great importance.

Li Kuanglan said after some thought, “That means if we can’t find anything to hunt today, we might not get through the night?”

Qianye nodded honestly.

Li Kuanglan said, “Give me an hour.”

“Okay, I’ll watch over you.”

Li Kuanglan closed her eyes and concentrated on channeling a mysterious art. Within moments, a wisp of lingering sword energy emerged above her head. Threads of cold aura then emerged from her body, condensing into needles of ice that stretched out from her body surface. Her aura began to climb at an abnormally swift rate, proving just how strong her secret art was.

But all of a sudden, her face became flushed and her body trembled. She let out a soft groan as her aura fell into chaos. Qianye arrived behind her in one step, prepared to help at a moment’s notice.

Li Kuanglan pointed upward and fired a stream of cold energy from her fingertips which then poured back down on her like icy rain. She trembled from the chill, but the blush on her face had receded somewhat. She glared back at Qianye and said through clenched teeth, “It’s all your fault!”

Qianye was puzzled. He had no idea how her lack of concentration was related to him, and it would seem she had no intention of explaining things to him, either. Due to this minor setback, it took a bit longer before she finally finished her cultivation.

She let out a whistle as she retracted the cold energy around her and stood up. “I’m fine now, let’s go hunting! Uh…”

For a moment, she had forgotten about the holes in the armor. Her body was in a tense state as she had to stay upright against the strong gravity. In the end, the wide movement caused her chest to pop out again.

Li Kuanglan’s blushed red as she pushed the annoyance back inside. She then glared fiercely at Qianye, saying, “Don’t you have any clothes for me?”

“Ah, yes I do!” Only then did he come to, quickly removing the armor on his body and passing it to Li Kuanglan. Fortunately, the two of them weren’t too different in body structure. Qianye’s armor was a bit big on Li Kuanglan, but it wouldn’t affect her movements.

Li Kuanglan glanced at Qianye, who was now clad in internal armor, and respired heavily for a moment.

“No,” Qianye replied honestly.

Li Kuanglan was helpless. She actually knew how precious spatial equipment was and that no one would fill it with multiple armor sets. There was probably no space even if they wanted to.

All she could do was take a step back and ask, “Do you have a sword? Give me one.”

Qianye produced East Peak out of habit, but after some thought, he put it back and passed Li Kuanglan a half-meter-long vampiric blade.

The latter rolled her eyes, saying unceremoniously, “Why won’t you give me that sword from just now? Are you implying I don’t know how to wield a sword by giving me this lousy little thing?”

Qianye explained patiently, “This dagger’s level is quite high, just use it in the meanwhile. That sword just now is my usual weapon, it really isn’t suitable for you.”

“Not suited for me? Ha! Now that’s funny. This young master has been practicing the sword for many years, this is the first time I’ve heard of a sword I can’t wield. Give it to me!” Seeing Qianye unmoved, she simply reached out to grab Qianye’s necklace.
