Chapter 335
Almost Perfect
Xuan Ming scowled and bellowed in aggressive tone. She frantically swung her hands as the blue glow in her eyes dimmed down. “I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you, Boy!”
Qiao Xue, panting, was finally in control of her body again. The melancholic aura in the formation receded.
“Xuan Ming, what happened? Ah, you wouldn’t dare!” Ru Shou began shaking as Cheng Yan returned.
Zhu Rong went up in flames as he made one last ditch effort to try and keep Lie Shang in his grasp.New n0vel chapters are published on
Hou Tu still reigned over Xiang Nan. Cornered, he fronted with a chortle. “Xiang Nan’s sorrow isn’t so easy to resolve.”
Mu Yu’s eyes flew open. Seeing Qiao Xue’s face so close, he turned his head and noticed Xiang Nan. He wasn’t as close to Xiang Nan as he was to Qiao Xue, nor did he know much about Xiang Nan’s past. As such, he was at a dead end.
As the formation neared completion, the text imbued itself within the quintet’s bodies, suppressing the opposing energy inside them.
“Xiang Nan, snap out of it! Ignore those memories! It’s all in the past! You have us with you now!” yelled Cheng Yan, futilely.
Boom! The formation rumbled. The spiritual carvings shattered into speckles of light raining down into Vacant Spirit Grounds’ formation. By the same token, the five elements Xie Bulao refined returned to their rightful places. Ku Mu exited Nine Heavens Demon Sealing Formation. Feng Haochen opened his eyes.
Xie Bulao turned to his two allies. “Mr. Love God One and Two, can I kill him yet?”
“Hahaha, Nine Heavens Demon Sealing Formation didn’t seal me but sealed the kid’s consciousness, instead. I could drag him out, though. I’d love to see you butcher him,” taunted Hou Tu.
Sword Shadow Dust Gale always had a rationale and purpose behind his decisions. It wasn’t his disciples who knew him best but Xie Bulao.
There were no objections to Xie Bulao’s demand. Xiang Nan wouldn’t be bored, and Hou Tu had less chances wreaking havoc under Xie Bulao’s surveillance.
Everyone was curious what Xiang Nan’s past was, but they resisted the impulse to pry.
“Sorry, if I didn’t collapse under the pressure, I wouldn’t have caused you trouble,” expressed Qiao Xue.
“I knew this would happen; it’s not your fault,” stated Xiang Nan.
Vacant Spirit Grounds returned to a serene state. Everyone but Xiang Nan no longer needed to fret over losing control, yet nobody could find it in them to celebrate given Xiang Nan’s pickle.
With four spirit lords sealed, the elemental demons only had one leader if a war would break out.
Mu Yu avoided making eye contact with Qiao Xue on the way back. He constantly questioned why he impulsively kissed Qiao Xue when he was just trying to give her a shoulder. His feelings toward her were ambiguous, but he was aware he still liked Tian Ran. At the same time, he didn’t want to hurt Qiao Xue’s feelings. He was cognisant of the fact there would come a day he would have to make up his mind.
Upon returning, Qiao Xue went to Mu Yu’s room to confront him. In a soft voice, she broke the silence, opining, “Let’s pretend it ever happened. I am grateful you helped alleviate the pain. My mother passed away long ago. My father labelled me an unlucky existence. The woman you saw was my stepmother. She treated me very kindly. I wanted to protect her.”
Mu Yu bashfully smiled. “I won’t tell anyone what I saw. Still, I want to stress that there are lots of kind humans here.”
Qiao Xue looked into Mu Yu’s eyes. The awkwardness was gone. She laughed. “I know. I’m looking at one right now.”
“Hehe.”
