âShut up!â If you continue to go on, you will feel even colder, have you got any idea how hard I am working to hold him back? âShen Ying already has a Dao partner, donât even think about it!â
âShe already has a Dao partner!â Zuo Shuming was shocked, a hint of regret flashed across his face, but heâd only seen her a few times, so there wasnât too much disappointment. Sighing, he said, âSomeone who is worthy of Miss Shen, I guess he must be extremely outstanding.â
ââŠâ Not only is he outstanding, he can even cut you down with a sword! The kind he holds against your neck.
Chef listen to me and put the sword away. Shen Ying was still sleeping in the room, if she was disturbed and woken up, Gui Yi Sect will be wiped out!
Yi Qingâs expression turned colder. A while later, he then slowly lowered the sword in his hand, the invisible sword array in the air was also retracted as he glared at the little b*tch opposite again. Sneering coldly, he turned and walked deeper into the room, the icy air around him was blasting, even the door was slammed open and shocked Zuo Shuming.
âHuh? The wind is rising?â
Lonemoon: ââŠâ No, someone is about to go crazy! Chef be gentler, Shen Ying might not be up yet!
Yet Yi Qing stomped angrily into the room, heading in the direction of the bed and suddenly bent down to hug a certain person who was sitting at the head of the bed, munching on a fruit. He buried his head into her hair, his entire being radiating an aura of grievance.
Shen Ying who was suddenly hugged: ââŠâ
Whatâs the matter? Lost to Father Niu in an argument?
How many months of food allowance was deducted that he looked so aggrieved?
$_$
âââââââ
Ever since being driven away by Zuo Shuming last time, Shu Yi never came again. Sheâd probably given up on the route of tormenting both his body and heart and turned to focus on just physical tormenting. Lonemoon released his divine perception for a sense and found that sheâd indeed been in training in isolation all these time. In just a few daysâ time, sheâd already perfected Foundation Establishment and was about to enter core formation.
He calculated carefully, her core formation would happen soon. On the contrary, thereâd been no change Zuo Shumingâs cultivation ever since he entered Foundation Establishment. Though heâd been working hard with the sword in recent days and was so very diligent in learning the sword dharma, his cultivation just wouldnât grow. Although his speed wasnât considered slow for a triple spirit root, he was slightly less now, compared to the invader.
âCould it be that that scale of Scoopâs is really so special?â Lonemoon frowned, slightly confused.
âNo matter how weak Scoop is, heâs still a Celestial Emperor!â Yi Qing said in a low voice. âA scale that fell off his true form is naturally special to the Lower realm.â Whatâs more, that was a heart-protecting scale.
âBut no matter how special it was, itâs just a piece of scale.â Lonemoon still couldnât figure it out. âAnd it has fallen off for so many years, it would already be wonderful if it could be made into an immortal artifact, since when did it become beneficial to cultivation too?â
Yi Qing shook his head. âIâm not sure either.â
âWhy donât we get a piece from Scoop and study it.â Lonemoon suggested.
Shen Ying: ââŠâ
Yi Qing: ââŠâ
Are you a devil?
âItâs set then!â Each time he heard the broadcasting station of that invader boasting about how good and how great and how wonderful the effect of that scale was, it made him displeased! Wasnât it just Scoopâs scale? Did she think they didnât have one too?
Hence he brought out the communicating jade token, at the thought that this was the lower realm, he added an array formation on it then sent a trace of immortal qi in. The next second, Scoopâs image appeared before them.
âYoung Lord Lonemoon!â Scoopâs voice sounded, coupled with some excitement. âHave you found my heart-protecting scale!â
âWell, we didâŠâ
âReally! Iâm so thankful, especially thankful to Exalted Goddess! I finallyâŠâ
âBut we cannot get it back for now.â Lonemoonâs tune changed.
âAh? Ah!â Scoopâs smile froze, what did that mean?
âThe situation is a little complicated, I cannot explain it fully to you in a few words. We need to know exactly whatâs special about your scale in the lower realm. So we decidedâŠâ Lonemoon coughed and said in all seriousness, âTo get you to pull out another piece for us to study!â
âWhat did you say? Pull⊠pull out another piece?â Its eyes were round and wide as it shot to its feet.
âYes, this is Shen Yingâs idea!â Lonemoon suddenly reached out and pulled Shen Ying over to face Scoopâs image.
Shen Ying: ââŠâ Son of a b*tch!
ââŠâ Scoop was instantly stumped, he instinctively shivered and instantly shrunk back, his entire face twisted into a miserable look, like he was about to break out in tears. âSu⊠sure Exalted Goddess; no⊠no problem Exalted Goddess!â
âOh yes!â Lonemoon then added, âItâll be best if itâs a scale from your chest!â
ââŠâ Are you a devil?
(; ÌàŒàș¶ĐàŒàș¶`)
Scoopâs expression became even wretched, turning back into its true form, it stretched out a claw with tears pooling. Gritting its teeth, it pulled out a heart-shaped scale from its chest. âWill this do?â
âHmmâŠâ Lonemoon looked at the scale. âIs this piece smaller than the previous one, why donât youâŠâ
âYoung Lord Lonemoon, I really cannot pull out anymore!â Scoop said slowly, emphasizing each word, any more and itâll become a pink monster!
âAlright!â Lonemoon then nodded reluctantly. Turning, he nudged Chef. âOpen a door and bring the scale over.â
Chef looked at him complicated before waving his hand and opening a small realm gate that led right to Scoopâs hand.
In the next moment, a piece of scale that still had remnants of a bloody red on its edges appeared on the table.
âYoung Lord Lonemoon, Exalted Goddess, remember to bring my scales back, a total of two pieces! Donât miss out any.â Scoop repeatedly instructed with worry.
Scoop: ââŠâ Thatâs what you said the previous time too!
But Lonemoon directly retracted the jade token and cut off the image. Then he went forth and examined the piece of scale in detail.
âThereâs⊠nothing different!â It just looks cleaner than average scales, evident that Scoop had been taking good care of it.
Yi Qing also went forward and pressed a hand on that scale, sensing carefully, his eyes suddenly widened. âHuh!â
âWhatâs wrong?â Lonemoon asked, âWhat did you sense?â
Chef frowned before answering, âImmortal Qi!â
âOf course! Scoop is a Celestial Emperor in any case, this scale came from its true form, it would be odd if there werenât any Immortal Qi.â
âItâs normal for it to contain Immortal Qi!â Chef glanced at him and went on slowly, âBut donât you think⊠thereâs a little too much Immortal Qi on this?â
âWhat do you mean?â Lonemoon frowned and directly picked up the scale on the table, sending a trace of spirit qi into it. He was shocked at once. âWow! Indeed a little too much, but these immortal qi probably wouldnât last for long!â That heart-protecting scale in Shu Yiâs hands had fallen off Scoop for more than 3000 years, not to mention the time difference between the immortal realm and mortal realm. âUnless the Immortal Qi has been stored in it the whole time!â
His words fell, struck with a sudden thought, he turned abruptly towards Chef. âDamn it, no way!â
