Chapter 1623: Take and Give

Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi had experienced countless joys, pains, and life-or-death experiences. They had a very deep relationship that had long surpassed friendship.

But there was someone between them, so they restricted themselves. They seemed to be close and yet so far.

Seeing Mu Lingxis beautiful figure, how could Zhang Ruochen not have any reaction as a regular man?

But he wasnt a horny man and had a strong will. He quickly pushed down the devilish fire in his gut.

In the pool, after Mu Lingxi met eyes with Zhang Ruochen, she hurriedly covered her bosom with her pale arms. She looked very embarrassed. Her snow-white face instantly reddened and the flush spread to her neck.

The underground atmosphere became strange.

Zhang Ruochen averted his eyes and coughed dryly. Actually, I just arrived.

If any other man burst in, he would probably get his eyes gouged out even if he wasnt killed.

But Mu Lingxi couldnt gather any hatred. Instead, she didnt know what to do. Her face grew even more red and beautiful.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen turn around, Mu Lingxi finally let out a relieved breath. She patted the water surface and flew out of the pool like a fairy.

She extended a slender hand and quickly picked up the clothing on the side. She put it on, covering her delicate and enticing frame.

Mu Lingxi stared at Zhang Ruochens back and bit her red lip. Resentment colored her pretty eyes on purpose. Arent there two Female Saints guarding outside? How did you come in without a sound?

Even though she was annoyed, she wasnt actually angry.

Instead, Zhang Ruochen was a bit awkward. After all, their relationship was still at an ambiguous stage. They werent a true couple.

The two Female Saints guarding the door followed Zhang Ruochen into the underground space.

Right now, they stood at the edge of the tunnel and stared at Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi. They were shocked and almost fossilizedunmoving.

Lord Ruochen actually spied on the body of the pure Saintess?

They realized that theyd discovered an incredible secret and felt guilty. If theyd known, they wouldnt have followed in.

Knowing something they shouldnt know meant death.

Fearing that Zhang Ruochen would kill them, they knelt onto the ground and lowered their heads. We didnt see anything, they said with trembling voices. Priest, please forgive us

Zhang Ruochens headache intensified. Eyes turning cold, he said, Do not let a third person know what just happened, or else Ill destroy you two.

Yes, the two female Saints said, terrified.

Mu Lingxi had an extraordinary status now and this pertained to her reputation. Zhang Ruochen naturally had to be careful about this.

Go out now! he uttered. He also used Spiritual Power to intimidate them, leaving the mark of fear in their hearts.

Faces pale, the two female Saints hurriedly retreated from the underground space and closed the stone door.

This problem was both big and small. If it wasnt taken care of correctly, it could cause great trouble for Mu Lingxi.

But this was Zhang Ruochens fault. If hed been patient and had the two female Saints report to Mu Lingxi first, it might not have happened.

Zhang Ruochen turned around and trained his eyes on Mu Lingxi. He was about to apologize, but when he saw Mu Lingxis anticipating eyes, he swallowed his words.

He knew that Mu Lingxi wasnt waiting for an apology.

She stood across from Zhang Ruochen. Her exquisite egg-shaped face was breathlessly beautiful. Her body was completely wet and only covered with one layer of long white silk. Water droplets rolled on her skin, glistening.

Mu Lingxis bright eyes stared at Zhang Ruochen and the anticipation in them grew stronger.

She knew what Zhang Ruochen was hesitating and worrying about, so she was very anxious.

After a long silence, Zhang Ruochen finally got rid of his distracting thoughts. Eyes growing determined, he walked straight to Mu Lingxi. He took her cold hands and pressed them to his heart. Lingxi, are you willing to be my companion?

In terms of feelings, Zhang Ruochen had been holding back ever since he met Mu Lingxi. In the beginning, it was because he couldnt move on from Empress Chi Yao. Then, it was because of Huang Yanchen.

Zhang Ruochens relationship history was full of hardship.

After those two relationships, he even started sealing up his emotions.

This was why Mu Lingxi didnt expect Zhang Ruochen to be so direct. Naturally, she was shocked.

But her hands were pressed to Zhang Ruochens heart and her eyes touched Zhang Ruochens unwavering gaze. She gradually calmed down. She could feel that Zhang Ruochen was very serious and her heart started beating rapidly.

Mu Lingxi had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. After it came, it felt unreal, as if she was dreaming.

Zhang Ruochen waited for a long time without getting a reply. Furrowing his brows slightly, he said, I made this decision after thinking carefully. From now on, I will do my best to protect you. I wont let anyone hurt you. If

Mu Lingxi felt like shed gone mute. She couldnt say a single word, but she felt anxious. She nodded forcefully like a chick pecking at corn, afraid that Zhang Ruochen would say something like, If youre unwilling, then pretend I didnt say anything.

After all, it was very difficult to make Zhang Ruochen express his feelings voluntarily. Who knew when it would happen again?

Zhang Ruochen smiled and reached out his other hand. He grasped Mu Lingxis willowy waist and hugged her tightly.

Hearing that Zhang Ruochen had come out of isolation, Ling Feiyu immediately came to the Euphoria Underground Palace to discuss matters with him.

But when she reached the stone door, she stopped. She stared at the tightly shut door and stood there quietly. She didnt take another step.

With her strong cultivation, a door wouldnt be able to block her eyes or ears unless there was a formation. Naturally, she heard and saw everything that was happening.

The next moment, the door opened. Zhang Ruochen walked out, holding Mu Lingxis arm.

I sensed Palace Lord Lings aura earlier, he said to the two female Saints kneeling on the ground. Did she come?

Yes, one answered. Palace Lord Ling indeed came, but she stood outside quietly for 15 minutes and then left.

Mu Lingxi didnt know that Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu had seven lives together. She must have come for you. Shes reached a bottleneck recently and wants to leave the Moon Goddess Dojo to challenge herself and have a breakthrough. But she seems to have something she wants to discuss with you, so she waited until you came out of isolation.

Zhang Ruochen had already fused the memories of the seventh world. In that world, he and Ling Feiyu had deep interactions. Not only did they have feelings for each other, theyd also married and had their own children and grandchildren.

It was only a life spent in the scroll world, but the memories and feelings were very real. He couldnt ignore them.

Ling Feiyu didnt express it because she didnt know that Zhang Ruochen had already fused the memories of that life.

Zhang Ruochen didnt express it because he hadnt found the suitable time.

Zhang Ruochen immediately ran out of the Euphoria Underground Palace, but he ran into Blackie at the exit and almost crashed into it.

Blackie hurriedly stopped him. I saw Ling Feiyu earlier. She wanted me to give you a letter.

Zhang Ruochen took it. Where is she? he asked impatiently.

She left. She just entered the space transfer formation and said shes going out for a challenge. Honestly, why is this woman so impatient? She obviously knew that you already came out, so why couldnt she tell you personally? Why did she write a letter? I dont get it Hey, whered you go?

While Blackie was rambling, Zhang Ruochen had already disappeared from its sight.

He went through the space transfer formation and arrived at a rainforest in the Truth Heavenly Domain.

The space transfer formation in this forest connected with the one in the Moon Goddess Dojo. If Ling Feiyu left with the space transfer formation, then she must come here first.

Zhang Ruochen flashed to the top of the nearest mountain and looked around for a trace of Ling Feiyu.

He also released his Spiritual Power to check surrounding areas.

Unfortunately, it was to no avail.

Zhang Ruochen knew why Ling Feiyu had left so quickly. He was worried that she would be sad, so he wanted to make things clear.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ruochen uttered sound waves. I know youre hiding nearby and can hear my voice. I want to tell you that Ive fused the memories of the seventh world and I hope we can have a nice chat. I have two bottles of pills that can help a Saint King break through a bottleneck. It can help you. Please come out, alright?

His sound waves traveled thousands of miles, layer after layer, and shocked a flock of crows in the forest.

But Ling Feiyu didnt appear.

Instead, cultivators hundreds of miles away heard Zhang Ruochens voice and hurried over.

I hope youll only hide from me for a while instead of a lifetime.

Zhang Ruochen heaved a sigh and destroyed the space transfer formation before the other cultivators arrived. He had no choice but to leave.

Thats strange. I heard a cultivators voice earlier. How did it suddenly disappear?

That mans voice is so strong. He must be a Saint King. Lets not look for trouble and leave quickly.

After those cultivators left, Ling Feiyu walked out of a ravine. She held the Glass Heaven Cover. It was this weapon that helped fool Zhang Ruochens Heavenly Eyes and Spiritual Power.

She gazed into the distance at the mountaintop where Zhang Ruochen had been. With a bitterly sad expression, she murmured, Since someone is able to mend your pain, then Ill choose to leave. We both search for unlimited strength and shouldnt be affected by coincidental fate. Rather than struggling to help each other in despair, let us forget it all. Zhang Ruochen, youre on your own in the Truth Heavenly Domain battlefield from now on.

Absoluteness filled Ling Feiyus eyes. She walked out of the ravine and into the distance.

The Truth Heavenly Domains environment was amazing and the Way of Truth was one of the nine ancient ways, but so what?

The universe was boundless.

This wasnt the only path that led to the pinnacle.

The Truth Heavenly Palace didnt exist before the Heaven World was created, but werent there still top figures?

Thinking of this, Ling Feiyu didnt have anything holding her back anymore. She walked out of the Truth Heavenly Domain with more and more determined steps.

The moment she left, her mindset changed and she suddenly broke through the bottleneck that had been frustrating her. The Rules of Saintly Way multiplied within her and her cultivation shot up.
