Chapter 169
Chapter 169: Master, You Are Truly Powerful!
As Jiang Wan Sheng’s voice echoed, countless eyes turned towards the two of them, some filled with shock, others with disbelief.
Immortal rank magic artifact?
Don’t like it?
Hang it on the bedpost as decoration???
Is it too late to please Young Master Jiang now?!
“That’s not quite the case,” Shi Zi Chu said, tapping the glazed lampshade lightly with her fingers. “Can I dispose of it however I wish?”
Just as Jiang Wan Sheng was about to agree, something crossed his mind, and he quickly added, “No using it to curry favor with others! Apart from that, do whatever you want with it.”
Shi Zi Chu nodded.
This magic artifact wasn’t an offensive or defensive type. If one had to classify it, it would belong to the auxiliary category, as it only had the ability to predict. To her, it was utterly useless.
She picked up the palace lantern, her voice soft and melodious as she asked, “Shall I dismantle it then?”
“Go ahead,” Jiang Wan Sheng answered briskly, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Shi Zi Chu wasn’t one to waste things, though. She tossed the palace lantern into her snake bracelet.
The octagonal palace lantern vanished, and Chu Zhi Rou’s gaze shifted, landing on Jiang Wan Sheng’s face.
The orange-red light from the fire softened the sharp lines of Jiang Wan Sheng’s features. His gaze towards Shi Zi Chu was gentle and focused, as if she were the center of his world.
She could easily replace Shi Zi Chu in Xu Zhou Ye’s and the others’ hearts, and perhaps she could take Shi Zi Chu’s place in Jiang Wan Sheng’s heart as well!
Chu Zhi Rou lowered her eyelids, sitting quietly beside Chu Zhi Sheng.
Though Lin Qing Yu was fortunate to survive, getting close to Jiang Wan Sheng was undoubtedly difficult, but not impossible!
…
The next day.
Perhaps because the blood moon eels near Green Sward had been significantly reduced, no spirit beasts attacked during the night.
The sky was still dim as dawn broke, with the mist thick and heavy.
Meng Xi Yu and Yan Zhou Bai exchanged a few words, then went off to instruct their disciples.
Shi Zi Chu stood off to one side, wrapped in her cloak, her neck tucked in, listening. The furry collar of her cloak hid most of her face.
Jiang Wan Sheng, bold and daring, cupped Shi Zi Chu’s cheeks in his hands, kneading them gently.
“Sheng Sheng,” Shi Zi Chu’s soft voice rang out.
It was one thing when he did this when they were children, but why did he still enjoy doing it now?
Her face wasn’t dough to be kneaded.
Jiang Wan Sheng looked innocent. “You can’t blame me for this.”
Qing Qing had been exquisite as a child, a delightful sight, but now her features were more refined and sharp, not as cute as before.
It was rare to see her with such a childlike look again, and naturally, he wanted to pinch her cheeks!
Shi Zi Chu gave him a sidelong glance and then moved away, distancing herself from him.
Jiang Wan Sheng smiled and followed.
At that moment, Meng Xi Yu arrived.
“We need to go to the middle zone today to find a place to settle,” Meng Xi Yu said, his cold gaze flicking briefly towards Jiang Wan Sheng.
Then, his gaze shifted back to Shi Zi Chu, as if offering a kind reminder. “Young Master Jiang didn’t return last night. I’m afraid Jiang Clan Elder might have something to say.”
Jiang Wan Sheng chuckled lightly. “Sect Master Meng, are you worried about me? Then let Qing Qing come back with me. That way, there’s no need to worry about the second elder causing trouble for me.”
Seeing the two of them sparring with words, Shi Zi Chu turned to Liang Wei Sheng at her side and said, “Wei Sheng, let’s go.”
Tease?
They were in the Blue Rain Marsh right now, and she had no interest in their quarrel. She would follow when they had finished arguing or fighting.
Liang Wei Sheng quickly hurried to catch up.
Fu Qi Xiu glanced at the two prideful youths, then mentally tagged Shi Zi Chu as a “beautiful disaster.”
Chu Zhi Rou, who had been discussing things with Chu Zhi Sheng, walked over.
Seeing the tension between the two, her gentle and pleasant voice rang out, “Sect Master, Young Master Jiang, Senior Sister seems to be walking away.”
Meng Xi Yu and Jiang Wan Sheng both sneered in unison, then turned and chased after Shi Zi Chu.
Knowing Shi Zi Chu’s temper, Jiang Wan Sheng quietly followed, not daring to make a fuss. Slightly frustrated, he could only rub the star gem in his hand to vent his feelings.
Meng Xi Yu looked at Jiang Wan Sheng in surprise.
With his wild, unpredictable nature, it was hard to believe he would act so tame and obedient now.
“There’s movement ahead,” Shi Zi Chu said, removing her cloak and storing it in her snake bracelet. “I’ll go take a look.”
“Be careful,” Jiang Wan Sheng instinctively reminded.
Once Shi Zi Chu’s figure disappeared into the mist, Chu Zhi Rou walked up behind, her eyes filled with concern.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her.
“White jade fish,” Meng Xi Yu turned to Jiang Wan Sheng. “White jade fish are pack spirit beasts. If you kill one, the rest will come.”
The implication was clear—those white jade fish were a mess Jiang Wan Sheng had caused.
“Just Nascent Soul stage,” Jiang Wan Sheng flicked a glance at Meng Xi Yu, his voice cool and indifferent. “It’s perfect for Qing Qing to practice on.”
“Is that so?” Meng Xi Yu’s voice turned cold.
On Liang Wei Sheng’s shoulder, Qing Yu suddenly expanded, soaring into the air. Its flapping wings created a whirlwind, dispersing much of the mist.
As the fog cleared, the glowing red eyes of the white jade fish appeared.
Chu Zhi Rou jumped in fright.
Meng Xi Yu coldly spoke, “Why are you standing there doing nothing?”
Liang Wei Sheng, accompanied by Qing Yu, charged forward.
Facing the mid-to-late Golden Core stage white jade fish, Chu Zhi Rou didn’t appear as helpless as before.
Jiang Wan Sheng had no intention of stepping in.
Meng Xi Yu kept an eye on Liang Wei Sheng’s situation, occasionally offering brief reminders.
Fu Qi Xiu stood to the side, arms crossed, looking completely indifferent.
Meanwhile, Shi Zi Chu was using the white jade fish to practice.
Delicate white silk threads poured from her fingertips, their sharp edges cutting into the scales of the white jade fish.
What seemed like a shallow cut suddenly erupted with blood, and the injured fish was sliced in half, its tail thrashing and splashing mud everywhere.
Shi Zi Chu blinked, her expression innocent and confused.
From her spatial storage ring, Xue Gu jumped onto a withered branch, watching her master. With a sweet and soft voice, it cautiously advised, “Master, you really should practice more on controlling and using soul force.”
“…” Shi Zi Chu looked down at the soul force silk threads in her hands, her voice full of confusion. “I’ve been cultivating according to the technique, though.”
Xue Gu: …
So, is it possible that the issue lies in the fact that your soul force is just too powerful, Master?
Sitting on the withered branch, Xue Gu couldn’t help but exclaim, “No wonder Master finds Silent Nourishment so easy. I could tell your soul force was strong, so I recommended Silent Nourishment to you. But I didn’t realize it was this strong! It’s… monstrous!”
“Is it really that hard?” Shi Zi Chu flicked her fingers, and the faint white silk threads transformed into a beautiful, transparent blue.
God rank techniques… are there any that are simple?!
Especially ones related to soul force!
Xue Gu choked for a moment before asking, “Master, just how powerful is your soul force?”
“Condensed.”
!
Xue Gu’s claws slipped, and it tumbled straight into the mud.
Shi Zi Chu’s aqua blue silken threads wove into a satin fabric that caught Xue Gu mid-fall.
Flailing, Xue Gu slid down the threads and landed in front of Shi Zi Chu.
With its belly rubbed, Xue Gu marveled, “Master, you are truly amazing!”
Her soul force was so powerful it could solidify the soul into a tangible form. If Master used soul force in battle, her strength would be comparable to that of someone crossing the tribulation!
Too bad, Master’s physical body couldn’t bear such a powerful soul force.
Shi Zi Chu smirked.
Of course, she was powerful.
“Master, I’ll find you a body tempering technique!” With that, Xue Gu dashed back into the spatial storage ring.
Shi Zi Chu was left speechless, her emotions a mix of amusement and helplessness.
