Wasn't the spiritual energy in the Lake Eye supposed to be extremely stable and safe?
How could someone die?
Cultivating … could actually kill someone?
"Dead? How is that possible? "
Princess Fei-er was also shocked.
She had been thinking about how she could defeat this unreliable fellow in a bet, but who could have thought that the other party would die just like that …
"Let me take a look!"
Leaping into the Lake Eye, she touched it, and her face immediately paled.
The fellow who was still gleefully absorbing five Spirit Cleansing Incense eight hours ago was now as stiff as a rock, and his breathing and heartbeat had already stopped.
He … was really dead!
Even though she didn't have the slightest goodwill toward this fellow … she was still the other party's maid, and she hadn't redeemed her freedom yet. How could he die just like that?
What will happen to me if you die?
Will I be unable to resolve my identity as a maid for the rest of my life?
Princess Fei-er's body swayed weakly, and her face paled. "Could he have absorbed too much spiritual energy in order to defeat me … that's why he ended up like this?"
Since the other party hadn't left the Lake Eye all this while, naturally, it wasn't due to the rampaging of the lake water. The only possibility was that he had absorbed too much spiritual energy in order to defeat her, resulting in a malfunction in his body.
"That's possible!"
Luo Qiqi nodded grimly. "If he really died from absorbing too much spiritual energy, it's very likely that he's faked his death!"
As a talented apothecary, she knew a thing or two about saving lives. Even though she couldn't match up to physicians, she wasn't lacking either.
"Faked his death?" Princess Fei-er was taken aback.
"Un. If one absorbs too much spiritual energy, one's meridians will be filled up, resulting in a lack of blood circulation, resulting in death from asphyxiation! It's said that this is only a faked death, not a true death. As long as one deals with it appropriately, one can be saved … I once read in a book that Zhang Shi was still fine a moment ago, but he ended up in such a state. That might be the case! "
Luo Qiqi said.
"Since he's faked his death … is there any way to save him?" Princess Fei-er asked.
Frowning, Luo Qiqi pondered for a moment before replying, "It seems like … someone has to swiftly absorb the spiritual energy from his body!"
"Swiftly absorb it?" Princess Fei-er was perplexed.
"Normally, the absorption of spiritual energy from one's palm is too slow, and it could easily lead to a discrepancy in the flow of spiritual energy between the two. If that happens, one's meridians could be ruptured. Even if one were to be saved, one would be no different from a cripple! We have to absorb it in the fastest way possible … "
At this point, Luo Qiqi blushed. "In other words … mouth to mouth!"
"Mouth?"
Princess Fei-er's face twitched.
Palm to palm, Zhang Xuan could absorb the spiritual energy in the other party's body. However, the speed at which the other party absorbed spiritual energy wasn't too fast. Once a portion of the spiritual energy was absorbed, it would cause the other party's meridians to collapse. If such a situation were to occur, not to mention not being able to save the other party, even if it were to succeed, it would be equivalent to crippling the other party.
However, there was a difference between men and women. Absorbing spiritual energy mouth-to-mouth …
With a reddened face, Princess Fei-er said, "He's your teacher, hurry up and save him!"
"Me?"
Luo Qiqi hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head vigorously, "The etiquette between a teacher and a student is more important than anything else. This … is too intimate, I can't do it … On the other hand, didn't you say that you wanted to defeat him in a bet? If he really dies, you might have to carry the title of a maidservant for the rest of your life, never to rise again … "
"This …" Princess Fei-er's face paled.
What the other party said was exactly what she was most conflicted about.
Now that she had lost the bet, she would have to carry the title of the other party's maid. If that fellow were to die here, she wouldn't be able to explain herself!
Others might even think that she didn't want to admit defeat, which was why she chose to kill him. If that was the case, she wouldn't be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
What in the world was this!
It was just a bet, but she ended up having to take responsibility for the other party's life. The more she thought about it, the more stifled she felt.
Seeing her good friend's hesitation, Luo Qiqi hurriedly said, "If you want to save him, hurry up. The longer you delay, the lower the chances of saving him!"
With a conflicted look on her face, Princess Fei-er hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying, "Alright, I'll save him!"
Ever since she was born, she had been pampered by others, and she had never suffered such a huge loss before. Not only did that fellow beat her in a bet, he even kicked her until her bottom was swollen, leaving her unable to walk properly.
While she was furious, she also wanted to win back the other party in an upright manner!
And if he were to really die, how could she win?
It would be impossible for her to win at all!
Besides, if she wanted to save him, she would just have to save him.
Gritting her teeth, she drove her zhenqi and planted a kiss on the other party's lips.
"What are you doing?"
Upon seeing this sight, Zhang Xuan's vision darkened, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
His soul was too powerful at the moment, and the spiritual energy in the Cleansing Lake was running low. In order to prevent others from noticing him, he had to travel underwater, so he wasn't aware of the situation above. As soon as he left the water and was about to return to his body, he saw the Sixth Princess hugging him, wanting to kiss him. He nearly died of fright.
This Sixth Princess seemed to be quite normal on the surface, but for her to kiss him just because of a disagreement, she was way too unreliable!
Stifled, Zhang Xuan was just about to reach out to pull her away when he heard an anxious voice calling out.
"Sixth Princess!"
Xing Yuan walked over with widened strides.
At this moment, Xing Yuan's heart was on the verge of collapsing.
The Sixth Princess whom he had spent countless years trying to get close to was actually kissing a fellow whom he had just met a few days ago and nearly angered her to death. Did she have to be so crazy?
"Ah? Xing Yuan, you're here! This is great! "
Seeing the fellow rushing over, Princess Fei-er's face reddened. But at the same time, she heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly beckoned, "Hurry up and save him!"
"Save him?" Xing Yuan was taken aback.
"That's right, there's no time to explain it now. If you want to save him … you'll have to absorb the spiritual energy in his body through our mouths. Hurry up, or else we won't make it in time …" Princess Fei-er said anxiously.
"Mouth to mouth?" Xing Yuan's body staggered. "Me and him?"
In the lake, Zhang Xuan's vision also darkened.
Even though I value my upbringing and don't wish to get involved with unrelated women … what the heck is kissing a man?
If I were to be kissed by him, even if I don't die of disgust …
"That's right. Hurry up, or else we won't make it in time!" Princess Fei-er nodded.
"I …" Zhang Xuan was on the verge of spurting blood, and Xing Yuan was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Seeing the conflicted look on Xing Yuan's face, Princess Fei-er said, "If you won't do it, I will!"
"Let me do it …" Xing Yuan gritted his teeth.
Even if he had to sacrifice his moral integrity, he couldn't allow the goddess of his heart to suffer!
He leaped into the Lake Eye as well and carried Zhang Xuan's body up. Then, he extended his stubbled mouth toward Zhang Xuan's.
"The heck!" Zhang Xuan was on the verge of tears.
"This won't do. I have to return to my physical body, or else my first kiss will be gone …" At this moment, he couldn't be bothered with the disgust anymore. His soul immediately dived into his physical body.
As long as his soul returned to his physical body, he would be able to wake up and resolve the awkwardness before him.
"Hmm?"
As soon as his soul came into contact with his glabella, Zhang Xuan froze.
His soul had grown too much during this cultivation, far exceeding the capacity of his physical body. He was actually unable to enter it!
In other words, his soul was too big, and his physical body was too small. It was impossible for him to enter it in a short period of time!
But … that fool was about to kiss him!
"Forget it …"
Seeing that the other party's lips were about to come into contact with his, Zhang Xuan couldn't hold himself back any longer. Gathering his soul energy, he sent a kick over.
His soul was formless and intangible. If he didn't want others to see him, it was impossible for him to do so. However, if he wanted to fight, he could manifest his physical body.
Peng!
Not expecting someone to make a move on him, before Xing Yuan could even react, he was kicked in the face. With a scream of agony, he fell into the lake!
"Ah, save me …"
Xing Yuan screamed in agony.
He thought that he would be reduced to a puddle of liquid just like the Spirit intermediate-tier weapon from before, but after shouting for a while, he realized that nothing was amiss, and his face turned crimson.
Since the spiritual energy in the Cleansing Lake had been sucked dry, it had lost its frenzy and corrosive properties. Putting aside Xing Yuan, even an ordinary cultivator wouldn't be able to harm him.
It could be said that the current Cleansing Lake was no different from an ordinary lake.
"What are you trying to do?" Princess Fei-er's face darkened.
She thought that this fellow would be able to save Zhang Shi soon, but before he could do so, he had already leaped backward and screamed in agony. What was he trying to do?
What was he up to?
Even though it was impossible to see or touch a soul attack, as 5-star master teachers, they should be able to tell that something was amiss if they were to take a closer look. However, their attention was currently focused on saving Zhang Shi, so none of them noticed anything amiss.
Without waiting for the other party's explanation, Princess Fei-er waved her hands and bellowed furiously, "If you don't want to save him, then forget it. What are you trying to do?"
Clearly, this fellow was unwilling to save Zhang shi at all. So be it if you don't want to save him, but why are you wasting our time?
"I …" Xing Yuan's tears flowed down his cheeks, and he nearly burst into tears.
Can't you tell that there's a huge footprint on my face …
After berating Xing Yuan, Princess Fei-er couldn't be bothered with him anymore. Her lips curled up as she kissed Zhang Xuan once more.
"Sixth Princess, Xing Yuan gongzi, Luo Qiqi xiaojie, what are you doing …"
Before they could even come into contact, another astonished voice sounded. Lifting their heads, they saw Emperor Ye Wentian standing right before them.
Ye Wentian was also dumbfounded. He was intending to get the Sixth Princess and the others out of the Lake Eye as soon as he arrived, but upon seeing this sight, he couldn't help but feel awkward.
At the same time, he couldn't help but think … Youngsters these days are getting more and more open! To act like this in the middle of the day …
Upon seeing Ye Wentian, Princess Fei-er heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "You're here. Zhang Shi seems to have encountered a problem in his cultivation. Hurry up and take a look!"
The other party was a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan pinnacle expert, as well as the emperor of an empire. Be it in terms of eye of discernment or knowledge, he was far superior to Luo Qiqi. Perhaps, he might be able to save Zhang shi without using his mouth.
"A problem?" Ye Wentian was taken aback. He had thought that the two of them were going to do something, but it turned out that something had happened.
Upon realizing this, Ye Wentian's eyebrows shot up.
Zhang shi was an existence who could possibly become a combat master in the future, and more importantly, Pavilion Master Mo of Hongyuan Empire was protecting him. If something were to happen to him, he could very well lose his position as emperor …
Leaping into the Lake Eye, Ye Wentian rushed up to Zhang Xuan, and after taking a look, his eyebrows shot up.
Noticing the grim expression on Ye Wentian's face, Princess Fei-er asked, "How is it?"
"It seems like …"
Ye Wentian widened his eyes in disbelief. "His soul has left his body!"
(Sweat, the one I posted previously was just to see if there were any ladies among my readers. Who would have thought that … there were many of them, and they were all rotten! In less than a day, nearly three hundred of them wanted to be together with Ye Wentian and sweep across the world. The heck, what does this have to do with me? Laoya is an upright man, and Zhang Xuan is an upright man as well. How could they possibly do such a despicable thing? You must be joking! [Just imagine Laoya standing in the wind with his hands behind his back, his head tilted at a forty-five degree angle, and his robes fluttering in the wind. How dashing! I really can't imagine it. If one could have one's boyfriend or husband wear a picture of Old Bi and assume the same pose, it would surely save one three days' worth of food!] (Cough cough, I hope for two recommendation votes and monthly votes on Monday.)
