Chapter 483
Chapter 483 Soul Seed
Once Shui Wuhen brought Long Chen and Meng Qi to the first monastery, she gave Long Chen a few warnings before leaving .
Meng Qi’s soul root had been destroyed . That was something even she had no way to fix, as Shui Wuhen was not a soul cultivator . Seeing that Long Chen seemed to have many things to do, she let Long Chen decide what he wanted to do about this .
When Long Chen arrived in front of everyone, carrying Meng Qi on his back, they all clenched their teeth . Meng Qi, who had been like an immortal fairy, had now been tormented into her current state . Despite the fact that she was a young woman, the Wind Spirit Pavilion had not held back at all in terms of viciousness .
Long Chen set up a residence for Meng Qi, and Tang Wan-er also came to help . Once they were set up, she deliberately left to give the two of them time to be alone .
“Long Chen, I’m already a cripple . Will you not want me anymore?” Meng Qi leaned against Long Chen, hugging him closely .
“Do you think that’s possible? You’re my fiancée, and I’ll look after you for a lifetime . ” Long Chen was filled with tenderness as he embraced her soft waist .
Meng Qi smiled, her smile like a flower blossoming, her eyes filled with happiness . She caressed Long Chen’s cheek . “Do you really not hate me even a bit for what I did to you in the Phoenix Cry Empire?”
She was referring to how she had gone to withdraw from their marriage agreement . Meng Qi had always been brooding about that matter .
Even just saying that, Meng Qi began to cry . Perhaps it was due to losing her cultivation base, but Meng Qi’s heart had become even weaker now, and her emotions affected her more than usual .
“Fang-er already explained to me that you were helpless about that . You had no choice,” said Long Chen .
“That’s not entirely true . At the beginning, I really did feel a bit of aversion towards this marriage agreement . I’d never seen you before, and I really didn’t want to marry a stranger .
“But then when I joined the Wind Spirit Pavilion, when they learned I had a fiancé, they actually wanted to kill you . At that time, I felt you were completely innocent and didn’t want you to be implicated . So before they did anything, I took the initiative to find you .
“However, then when I saw how difficult your circ.u.mstances were in the Phoenix Cry capital, I really didn’t know how I was supposed to say anything .
“In the end, on Sunset Mountain, I finally heartlessly withdrew from our marriage agreement . But instead of hating me, you actually looked after me, consoling me . Long Chen, why are you such a fool? I hurt you, but you treat me so well . ” Meng Qi tightly clung to Long Chen, bursting into tears .
Long Chen also tightly held her, involuntarily feeling a bit proud . Back then, he really had been too brilliant . He had managed to capture Meng Qi’s heart .
When Long Chen did things, he always relied on his feelings . Back when he had first seen Meng Qi, he had felt that Meng Qi was an extremely kindhearted woman, and so his methods back then really had been effective .
Holding this beautiful woman in his arms, Long Chen was filled with emotion . He didn’t feel that his methods had been vile . If you loved a person, then you should love them with your entire being, and you should be willing to do anything for them . Who cared about a bit of infamy?
“You don’t need to be worried Meng Qi . Although your soul root was destroyed, that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no way for you to cultivate,” consoled Long Chen, rubbing her back .
Meng Qi straightened her body, looking at Long Chen . “You want me to walk the ordinary cultivation path?”
Long Chen shook his head . “Of course not . Your body isn’t suited to any other cultivation path other than soul cultivation . Even if you tried, your accomplishments would be extremely limited . What I was talking about was to help you rebuild a soul root, reactivating your Spiritual Strength, and then you can continue being a grand Beast Tamer . ”
“But that’s impossible . ”
“There’s nothing in this world that’s impossible . Close your eyes . ” Long Chen touched his forehead to Meng Qi’s forehead .
His Spiritual Strength gently circulated and entered her mind-sea . The two of their Spiritual Strengths connected .
Within Meng Qi’s mind-sea, the ball of core source qi in her body had already scattered . It had been personally destroyed by the Wind Spirit Pavilion master .
Once this source qi was destroyed, her mind-sea was like a human that had lost consciousness . She lost control over her Spiritual Strength .
As Long Chen poured in his Spiritual Strength, their minds connected, and through his Spiritual Strength, Meng Qi was able to glance into Long Chen’s mind-sea .
“You… your mind-sea, how is it so enormous?!” Meng Qi couldn’t help being astonished .
For ordinary soul cultivators, their mind-seas would not be greater than three hundred meters wide at the Bone Forging realm . Six hundred meters would mark them as a genius .
Meng Qi was exceptionally talented, and her mind-sea was three thousand meters wide . That was even larger than geniuses like Feng Xiao-zi and Feng Xiaoyun, whose mind-seas had been vastly improved with greater resources than her .
It was precisely because the Wind Spirit Pavilion master had taken note of Meng Qi’s talent that he had kept her alive .
But Meng Qi was astonished to find that Long Chen’s mind-sea truly was like an ocean and practically boundless . It had to be measured in the hundreds of miles . In comparison, her own mind-sea was truly too minute .
“You saw it?” Long Chen smiled slightly . “Your body is too weak right now . But once you recover, I will use my Spiritual Strength to condense a new soul seed for you . Once the soul seed is planted in your mind-sea, it will become your new soul root . At that time, you’ll quickly recover, and furthermore, you’re reach an even higher level than before . ”
In truth, Long Chen’s mind-sea had been around the same size as Meng Qi’s originally . But after merging with the primal chaos bead, his mind-sea had explosively grown, and even Long Chen didn’t know what was going on .
“But that would cause immense damage to your soul . ” Meng Qi shook her head .
To use your own Spiritual Strength to condense a soul seed for someone else would come at an immense cost, and there was even danger that your soul root’s quality would permanently decline .
“You’re my woman . I can do anything for you, so you don’t need to decline . Don’t worry, I have a method that will ensure I don’t suffer any harm,” said Long Chen .
Currently, Long Chen had reached an even deeper understanding of the primal chaos bead . With the primal chaos bead, his body, spiritual qi, and soul energy were all being nourished .
That was different from ordinary cultivation . The energy the primal chaos bead offered him could transform into any energy he needed, and was capable of benefiting his mind, qi, and soul . So Long Chen didn’t need to worry about his soul degrading .
“Long Chen…” Meng Qi looked at Long Chen with tenderness . Long Chen looked back at her .
The two of them slowly approached . Their lips touched . Both of them shook, as if a bolt of lightning was coursing through their bodies . A tender and blessed feeling filled their hearts .
After some unknown time, the two of them finally parted . Meng Qi was deeply asleep, and her mouth still held a happy smile, beautiful beyond compare .
Long Chen slowly rested Meng Qi on the couch and gently covered her with a blanket . He also placed a pillow under her head for her to sleep comfortably .
Seeing that sweet face as it slept, Long Chen was filled with tenderness . Meng Qi really had suffered in the past few days .
Thinking of the Wind Spirit Pavilion, killing intent surged within Long Chen’s eyes . For them to treat a kindhearted woman like this, they really were not even human .
“Don’t let me find a chance, or I’ll exterminate all of you brutes…”
Meng Qi’s outer injuries were now healed . But her body had been weakened greatly in the past few days, and she would need to rest .
Those days, she had always been filled with terror and nervousness . Now that she relaxed, she slept deeply . She should be recovered by the time she woke up .
Long Chen quietly left her room . As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Tang Wan-er standing by the entrance, looking at him oddly .
“Do you not know how to be embarra.s.sed?” After saying that, Tang Wan-er blushed, obviously having guessed what Long Chen had done inside .
She had only just finished speaking when an arm wrapped around her waist . She was just about to make a sound, but she didn’t .
Long Chen was firmly kissing her, all the way until she felt like she was about to faint . Only when she began to beat on his chest did let go .
“Alright, this way no one needs to be embarra.s.sed,” laughed Long Chen .
“Shameless scoundrel . ”
Tang Wan-er was as red as an apple, both embarra.s.sed and angry . Seeing Long Chen smiling at her, she had an urge to dig a hole and bury herself .
“I’m ignoring you . I’ll look after sister Meng Qi . ” Tang Wan-er couldn’t bear Long Chen’s teasing gaze and quickly went into Meng Qi’s room, locking the door firmly .
“Everyone’s adults, so there’s no need to be so shy . You should learn from me . Look, I’m not embarra.s.sed at all!” teased Long Chen .
The door to the room opened a crack and Tang Wan-er revealed half her face, clenching her teeth . “You rotten scoundrel, your skin is thicker than a city’s wall . Just wait, I’ll definitely report that you bullied me to sister Meng Qi . ”
“Alright, then I’ll just say some person was feeling jealous, and unable to bear seeing me kiss others, they forced me to kiss her as well .
“As a result, perhaps the angle and strength had some flaws, and dissatisfied with my technique, she went to someone else to complain . Hey, hey, let’s not fight!”
Long Chen ran away . Thinking of how Tang Wan-er had seemed just like a tigress furiously glaring at him, he laughed .
At the same time, he couldn’t help feeling emotional . This is what life should be . Accompanying his brothers to drink everyday, along with teasing some beautiful woman . He wouldn’t trade such days even for the chance to become a G.o.d .
Unfortunately, times like these were too rare . He had so much trouble around him . Although Shui Wuhen had said the Pill Tower didn’t have an aboveboard reason to target him, what about targeting him in secret?
Furthermore, he had killed a disciple from the so-called Heaven Splitting Divine Sect . He had no idea whether that matter would reach their ears .
Furthermore, he had also caused the Corrupt path to suffer heavy losses . Their army had almost been entirely annihilated this time . He had no idea what kind of award they were planning on bestowing him .
Thinking of these things, Long Chen had a huge headache . Right now, he urgently needed to increase his strength .
But first, he had a certain matter that he had to do no matter what . He went straight towards where Zheng Wenlong was staying .
