Chapter 383: Indispensable
“Only children make choices. Adults will choose to eat body strengthening tablets…”
Victor sighed softly and pinched his brows.
If there was anything that gave Victor the greatest headache, it was the current situation.
Although Lian Hua looked weak, once she was fixed on something, it would be difficult to change it. If she asked Victor to choose between her and Nalan Lengling, she was probably dead serious.
“Lian Hua, do I have to choose one or the other?”
“Yes, you have to choose one.”
“Alright, then I choose you. I admit that I have a good impression of Nalan Lengling. I have already said the reason. She is an out-and-out beauty. Since ancient times, heroes can not overcome beauty. But if you insist on me choosing one or the other, I will choose you.”
“Really… Really?”
“Yes, really. If I have to give up on you, I’d rather be looked down upon by others and become a heartless man.”
“Victor… That’s not what I meant.”
“Forget it, I understand. So you don’t have to say anything anymore. Lian Hua, the reason why I agreed to your request was because I didn’t want to make you sad.
“But, have you ever thought that if one day you meet Ye Lingxuan and she uses the same excuse to force me to choose between you and her, what would I do then?”
“I… I just…”
“Even you yourself think that you can’t compare to Ye Lingxuan. You think that she came first, but you’re doing this now. Of course, I won’t be angry. But this time, if I give up on Nalan Lengling, the next time, when Ye Lingxuan forces me to make a choice, I have no reason not to give up on you.”
As soon as he said this, Lian Hua felt a sharp pain in her chest. She shook her head in a panic, tears welling up in her eyes.
Victor felt a little sorry for her when he saw this scene. He walked forward and pulled Lian Hua into his embrace. He comforted her, “I didn’t mean that.”
“You clearly meant that! You’re going to leave me behind!”
“I didn’t. How could I bear to leave a beauty like you behind? I just want to tell you that if Ye Lingxuan can accept you, why can’t you accept Nalan Lengling?”
As soon as he said it, Victor felt like he was a big lover, a player, and it made him feel a little disgusted.
However, there was nothing he could do. Nalan Lengling was already moved, and Victor did not dislike her at all. Between the two of them, there was no way to cut ties. Unless Victor could be ruthless enough to cut ties with Nalan Lengling, these words would have been said sooner or later.
‘d.a.m.n it… I’ve gotten used to it as I’ve read many novels in the post. How could they say it so shamelessly? Was I not meant to have many partners?’
Victor thought so and patted Lian Hua’s back gently. He comforted her, “I know that some words have already been said, so we can’t pretend that it hasn’t happened. But like I said, both of you are equally important. How can I bear to cut ties with anyone?”
“But… but you said that you only approached her to take revenge on the Fire Sect…”
“At that time… Okay, I did say that.”
Victor scratched his head awkwardly and continued, “Then what should we do now? I definitely can’t just leave things behind. You heard what Nalan Lengling said to me. It’s obviously impossible to cut ties like that. Why don’t you give me some advice?”
“In your dreams! Victor, I’m warning you! Don’t ever flirt with another woman again! Wei Zihan, Nalan Xinxin, Lin Yiya, Nalan Lengling, how many people have you affected along the way?!”
“I didn’t… Okay, Nalan Lengling is one of them, but I’m really not interested in anyone else!”
“I don’t care! There can’t be another woman! Nalan Lengling… is my bottom line!”
“Okay, I promise you.”
This time, Victor did not hide anything. He looked straight into Lian Hua’s eyes with a clear conscience.
To be honest, Victor also thought that he was a little promiscuous. He had already met two women before he even came to the Central Plains. If he went to the Southern, Western, or even the Northern Plains, wouldn’t Victor be able to gather a reinforcement company?
Hmm… It didn’t seem that bad?
Cough cough…
“I promise you that I won’t disturb other women in the future.”
“Deal?”
“Deal.”
“That’s more like it…”
Lian Hua burst into laughter, but in the end, she blew up a big snot bubble.
“Tsk tsk, so disgusting.”
“You’re the one who’s disgusting! How can you say that I’m disgusting!”
“It’s such a big snot bubble, isn’t it disgusting?”
“Even if it’s disgusting, you can’t say it out loud, right? I’m a pure woman, don’t I care about my reputation?!”
“Fine, fine, fine. If you’re not disgusting, you’re the most beautiful woman in the world, alright?”
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other without saying anything. Then, they laughed at the same time.
“Actually, I’m not against you flirting around everywhere. I just feel very uncomfortable. Now that I’ve said it out loud, I feel much better!”
“If that’s the case, then can i…”
“Absolutely not!”
“Alright then.”
Victor pursed his lips and immediately held Lian Hua’s soft hand. He said, “For the next three days, I’ll stay in the Small World to cultivate. I’ll leave the Turtle Breath Pills to you.”
Three days was an extremely limited time. Victor could not waste his time on such meaningless things. He had to leave it to Lian Hua.
After confirming that everything was ready, Victor left in a flash and returned to the Soaring Serpent and the others.
“Young master, you’re back.”
“Yes, get ready. We’ll start right away.”
“Yes, young master.”
Soaring Serpent nodded upon hearing this. It took out the spirit of the mountain and handed it to Victor. The three of them then formed a spell formation that encompa.s.sed victor.
“Young master, please use your aura to guide the spirit of the mountain.”
“Okay…”
Victor wasted no words. He sat cross-legged in the formation and wrapped the spirit of the mountain with his aura, trying to refine it.
Naturally, he failed the first time. This was also within Victor’s expectations.
The spirit of the mountain violently shook away Victor’s aura. It was very resistant to merging with Victor.
After all, it was a mountain treasure. It was understandable for it to be a little arrogant. Victor was not in a hurry.
However, after failing the first part 20 to 30 times in a row, Victor could not help but get angry.
“Soaring Serpent, the spirit of the mountain has repeatedly rejected my aura. Is there any way to solve this?”
“I’m sorry, young master. There is no other way to solve this first part. Why don’t you try a few more times?”
“Trying a few times is a small obstacle…”
Having said that, Victor had no other way. He obediently separated a thread of qi and touched the spirit of the mountain.
The difference was that this time, Victor’s qi was mixed with some anger.
Unexpectedly, he succeeded.
Perhaps out of fear, the spirit of the mountain quickly accepted Victor’s qi and was guided by it.
“I’ve succeeded. What should I do next?”
“Young master, next, you need to fuse your golden core with the spirit of the mountain. The golden core is the focus and the spirit of the mountain is support. When you use your golden core, you will activate the spirit of the mountain.”
