Chapter 313 - Departure (2)

“See for yourself if you don’t believe me. And he didn’t come back alone.” Qing Jue pointed outside.

Old Man and Lin Liang looked in the direction Qing Jue was pointing. Their expressions changed immediately. W-what did this mean? Did Old Zao become a hostage?

“Qing Jue, let me out to take a look,” Lin Liang said to Qing Jue after some thought.

“No need.” As Qing Jue spoke, he had already moved Old Zao into the bracelet from outside.

“Damn old thing, what did you do!” As soon as Old Man saw Old Zao, he chased after him and started fighting him.

“Ah! It’s not my fault. Ahhh… They insisted on following me. I’m wronged,” Old Zao cried out while hiding everywhere.

“Brat Lin, save me!” Old Zao pleaded with Lin Liang for help.

But Lin Liang turned his head to the side and pretended not to hear him.

“What are you doing?” A dignified voice interrupted them all of a sudden.

“Ah! Old Leng, save me! This old man is crazy!” Old Zao ran to Leng Qingtian and hid behind him.

“You two old men are hundreds of years old. Why are you still acting like children?” Leng Qingtian said helplessly. As soon as he emerged from seclusion, he saw one old man chasing the other around. Fortunately, there were few people here now. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous if the younger generation saw them!

“Ask him about the good deed he did!” Old Man said angrily.

“What did you do again?” Leng Qingtian looked at Old Zao in puzzlement.

“What do you mean again? I didn’t do anything!” Old Zao pouted aggrievedly.

Leng Qingtian turned his eyes to Old Man with a questioning gaze.

“You’ll know when you look outside,” Old Man reminded.

“Uh, what happened?” Leng Qingtian looked out of the bracelet and was shocked. There were at least a thousand dragons in human form and beast form outside.

“It’s all his fault,” Old Man said.

“What do they want?” Leng Qingtian asked unpleasantly, frowning.

“I don’t know either. They said they wanted to see the lass and insisted on following me back. Ahhh… I had no choice!” Old Zao was so aggrieved that he was about to cry.

“Hmph! You still have the cheek to say that. If you didn’t go to Dragon Island, would they have followed you back?” Old Man roared furiously.

“You went to Dragon Island?” Leng Qingtian glared at him.

“Yes, I went for a tour,” Old Zao said quietly.

“In that case, we’ll leave these big fellows to you,” Leng Qingtian said disloyally.

“Boohoo… Lass, come out of seclusion quickly!” Old Zao prayed with tears in his eyes.

At this moment, Leng Ruoxue, who was in seclusion in the purple bamboo house, was a critical point in her cultivation. The heaven and earth spiritual energy in her body was approaching a saturated state after she had absorbed it over this period of time. It was just that there were no signs of a breakthrough. But she had already vaguely felt that she was on the threshold of advancement these two days, so she had been sprinting with all her might…

Beside her, Freak had long completed his cultivation, so he had been guarding by her side and didn’t even take half a step away from her.

“Xue’er, you can do it!” Freak murmured to himself while staring at Leng Ruoxue without blinking.

Leng Ruoxue, who was sprinting at full speed, gathered her immense spiritual power. After compression, her spiritual power condensed into a spiritual power thread thinner than a strand of hair. She controlled this thread and circulated it around the meridians in her body for 36 cycles. Then she directed this thin thread to attack the barrier that had become very fragile…

Under the crazy bombardment of the thin thread, the barrier shattered with a bang, and Leng Ruoxue’s Heaven Defying Art finally entered the fourth level.

The Heaven Defying Art broke through the third level and consumed all of Leng Ruoxue’s spiritual power. So her body began to absorb heaven and earth spiritual energy crazily like a bottomless pit again…

After replenishing almost 30% of her spiritual power, Leng Ruoxue slowly opened her eyes. Freak’s incomparably handsome face instantly appeared in front of her.

“Xue’er, you’ve finally broken through,” Freak said happily with an incomparably enchanting smile on his lips.

“Damn Freak, you scared me!” Leng Ruoxue pretended to be angry.

“Hehe, Xue’er, I missed you so much.” Freak hugged Leng Ruoxue’s slender waist tightly and laid his head on her shoulder coquettishly.

“Silly Freak, haven’t we been together all this time!” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. Freak had refused to enter seclusion alone, so the two of them stayed in the purple bamboo house.

“How can it be the same? Although you were so close, I couldn’t hug or kiss you. Boohoo…” Freak said pitifully as tears welled up in his bright black eyes.

“Alright, stop pretending to be pitiful. I’ll make it up to you in the future,” Leng Ruoxue coaxed.

“I have to continue waiting?” Freak pouted with some dissatisfaction.

“Oh yes, Freak, how long have we been in seclusion?”

“Almost four months.” Freak calculated the time.

“It’s been so long? Freak, let’s head out first!” Leng Ruoxue said.

“Okay.” Freak knew that he couldn’t force Xue’er too much, or his compensation would run away.

When Leng Ruoxue and Freak walked out of the purple bamboo house, Qing Jue was already waiting for her outside.

“Big Sister, congratulations on breaking through again,” Qing Jue said happily. Hehe, I can unlock another seal. More importantly, I will have more land!

“Qing Jue, were you guarding outside because you want me to unlock the seal quickly?” Leng Ruoxue asked in realization.

“Yes.” Qing Jue nodded vigorously and looked at Leng Ruoxue expectantly.

“Qing Jue, you haven’t told me what ability you obtained after unlocking the seal last time!” Leng Ruoxue brought up the old score. Hmph! I haven’t forgotten this matter at all!

“Hehe, Big Sister, the ability I obtained previously was mainly for defense. When you’re fighting, I can transform into your armor,” Qing Jue explained.
