Chapter 788 (1/2)

The Elven Queen frowned and said, “It’s just like the connection I have with the Ancient Tree of Life. With this connection, we can say that there’s a magical resonance in the Life Energy between us. In a certain way, we’re like a single entity. It allows us to feel the spiritual waves between us within a certain distance.”

Zhou Weiqing was relieved to hear that the connection was only within a certain distance. It was fine as long as they could not sense each other at any time or anywhere. Otherwise, that would be rather awkward. The Elven Queen then proceeded to say, “Our lives are merged into one across time, space, and any form. That being said, unless both of us die at the same time or the shared Life Energy between us is drained, neither one of us will die.”

Because they were connected by spirit, Zhou Weiqing knew very well that the Elven Queen was not kidding. His mouth was wide open in surprise as he looked at her exquisite and flawless face. Was it a good or bad thing to be sharing lives, and to be spiritually connected to the Elven Queen? On the surface, it was clearly a great thing. The Elf Tribe originally possessed strong and powerful Life Energy. The abundant Life Energy was a basic guarantee of their survival. Sharing lives with the Elven Queen who was a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse would mean that it would be difficult for Zhou Weiqing to die even if he wanted to.

From another perspective, this relationship was akin to something that tied Zhou Weiqing with the Elf Tribe. With that, he would be duty bound and should a crisis befall the Elf Tribe, he would have to do everything in his power to rescue them with no question asked. Otherwise, if the Elven Queen’s Life Energy was drained from the enemy’s attack, Zhou Weiqing’s Life Energy would be drained as well. Although the possibility of something like this happening was unlikely, it would be almost fatal if it did happen.

Since Zhou Weiqing was thinking that, the Elven Queen naturally had the same thoughts as well. Her expression became extremely complicated as she looked at Zhou Weiqing. She had never thought that she would have such a complicated relationship with a human in her life. A while later, Zhou Weiqing finally recovered from the shock and mumbled as he looked at the Elven Queen, “Could it be possible that this happened because you were absorbing my Saint Energy while I was absorbing your Life Energy during the energy exchange?”

The Elven Queen looked at Zhou Weiqing and frowned, “It seems like you’re averse to this?”

“Ah… No, it’s not that.” Zhou Weiqing explained immediately, “Its just too shocking. Your Majesty, what ability did you use to rescue me? How did you weaken yourself so much? To be honest, there shouldn’t be any problem with my recovery with my Saint Energy.”

The Elven Queen’s expression dimmed when she heard him say that. She let go of Zhou Weiqing’s hands that were hugging her and pushed him away gently. “I’m sorry, I really didn’t know that you did that to save my child. I’m really sorry. I didn’t intend to hurt you.”

Although the matter had passed, and the both of them were safe, the Elven Queen was filled with guilt. Zhou Weiqing was almost killed by her slap that carried her full force behind it due to her rage. In the end, he only did that to save her daughter. Nobody would be able to accept such a mistake without feeling any guilt.

Zhou Weiqing smiled in a carefree manner and said, “I figured you’d definitely attack me out of anger when I released Saint Energy into your daughter’s body. I was 80% confident that your attack would at the most injure me badly and it won’t be fatal. My skin’s so thick.”

The Elven Queen was stunned because she could feel what Zhou Weiqing was feeling. She realized immediately that he really did not mind. Such open-mindedness impressed her, and she said softly, “Since you figured that I might attack you, why didn’t you hint me before you made a move?”

Zhou Weiqing said helplessly, “I can’t do that! At that moment, that person was extremely panicked. Moreover, he’s a Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse. He would’ve noticed the slightest changes in our expressions. Your beloved daughter that was in his hands was too weak. I couldn’t take the risk so I had to personally take the hit. If I could deceive you, I could definitely deceive that person. However, you should really thank me for your child. The Saint Energy that I inserted into her body is even purer than the one that I used to rescue you. It took almost all of my Saint Energy otherwise I wouldn’t be hurt so bad if I had the Saint Energy to protect myself.”

“Thank you.” The Elven Queen said softly. She was not sure of the reason but she did not dare to look Zhou Weiqing in the eyes.
