Chapter 766 (1/2)

However, Shangguan Xue’er and Fei’er could clearly feel that the Nucleus Core that Bing’er was about to solidify was most likely different from Zhou Weiqing’s Starcrux Saint Nucleus Core. This was because even though the aura that Bing’er radiated was filled with the energy ripples of the Saint Energy too, it did not have the kind of purity that Zhou Weiqing possessed. It was apparent that there was some Wind attribute energy ripple mixed in with her Saint Energy.

This was obviously because she did not possess any Saint Attribute in the first place. It was impossible to form a true Saint Nucleus Core without any Saint Attribute in the body.

However, this did not mean that Shangguan Bing’er was not powerful at all. The nourishment that Zhou Weiqing gave her was not in vain. When she was solidifying her Nucleus Core, her body was entirely filled with the Starcrux Saint Energy that Zhou Weiqing transfused into her body. Just that alone would make her Nucleus Core far superior to the other Heavenly King-tier powerhouses.

In truth, as far as Shangguan Bing’er was concerned, even if her Nucleus Core was not entirely made from pure Saint Energy, it was still beneficial to her as long as she could solidify the Nucleus Core successfully. This was because after her Nucleus Core was successfully formed, she would be able to devour the Atmospheric Energy on her own to replenish her energy during her cultivation. There would be no need for her to rely on Zhou Weiqing’s Saint Energy anymore for her cultivation.

In other words, even if her Saint Energy was not entirely pure, it was at least still part of the Saint Energy. She could also solidify it by filtering the energies from the outer world. To a certain extent, Bing’er’s Saint Nucleus Core was actually a sub-Saint Nucleus Core, and it was still far superior compared to the other ordinary Heavenly King-tier powerhouses.

Right at this moment, the space in front of the two girls suddenly distorted without any warning. Two huge hands appeared out of thin air and grabbed onto each of them.

Both Xue’er and Fei’er had already reached the Ninth Jewel Tier. Coupled with their originally mighty strength, they reacted almost instantly. Just as they were about to unleash their techniques to attack the offender, they suddenly realized that the space around them had abruptly collapsed. A powerful Spatial Energy bound them tightly, and it left them with no space to move at all.

Within seconds, a familiar figure stepped out of the distorted space and planted a heavy kiss on both of their red lips before he released the two women from the constraint. With a slide, that figure leaped a few meters away from them. Very quickly, the collapsed space immediately returned to its normal state.

At first, Xue’er and Fei’er were completely taken aback because they thought they had encountered a very strong enemy. The moment they finally caught a clear glimpse of the person, they were immediately filled with wrath. This thief who had just stolen their kisses was none other than that evil bastard — Zhou Weiqing.

Zhou Weiqing smiled cheekily at both girls as he asked, “Hi, ladies, why don’t you properly welcome your husband?”

Fei’er snorted coldly, “Who’s your wife? Stop being so full of yourself! Hmmph!”

Xue’er did not speak a word at all. Her face remained cold as usual.

Dejectedly, Zhou Weiqing came closer to them as he asked, “What are you two trying to do? Just tell me directly if there’s anything that you feel unhappy about. Don’t just keep it in your hearts. Yes, it’s all my fault! I was too occupied recently, to the point that I’ve been ignoring you all. I’m willing to accept any punishment from you two.”

Fei’er scoffed loudly, “Ignore us? You haven’t only been ignoring us for one or two days, you know. Ever since you’ve established that Peerless Battalion, I’ve worked my ass off helping you to take charge! And you? You keep disappearing whenever you like! Fine, I won’t hold you to that, but let me ask you, what the hell’s with the issue of this Little Witch? And what’s going on with that Heavenly Demon Sect? You better explain to us clearly. Otherwise, the three of us will return to the Heaven’s Expanse Palace once Little Sis is done with her breakthrough!”

When Zhou Weiqing saw how enraged Fei’er was, he stepped forward to give her a hug. However, she pushed him away roughly with all her might. Although Xue’er remained silent, a look of doubt could be seen in her eyes.

Zhou Weiqing scratched his head. “Please let me explain, alright? The story about Little Witch is like this…” Zhou Weiqing was indeed smart. He knew very well that sometimes white lies were good, but at times like this, it would be better to just tell the truth. Otherwise, he would lose the love of the girls.

At that moment, he sincerely retold the story about him and Little Witch. Of course, he deliberately emphasized how deeply in danger he was during that ordeal, and how he was not in his right mind when he slept with Little Witch. Other than that, he more or less told them the truth regarding the entire incident.

“… Well, as you know, I’m not really a good person. But for the sake of my cultivation, or you can even say, my life, she did sacrifice a girl’s most important thing for me. Not only that, Teacher was there as well during the whole process. So at the very least, I need to be responsible for the things I’ve done to her. This is all my fault. I’m to blame for not being able to find you all in time. Otherwise, there would’ve been no need for me to do that with Little Witch at all. That time, Teacher even told me that Lady Luck was on my side, and at least I got myself a good girl that day. Otherwise, he would have caught a sow to become my sacrifice.”

The moment they heard Zhou Weiqing’s last sentence, the two Shangguan sisters could not help but burst out in laughter. They just could not resist it when they imagined Zhou Weiqing being together with a sow. With just this laugh, the tense atmosphere between the three of them lifted almost immediately.
