C102 (1/2)
Unknowingly, Jiu Mu Li was also immersed in cultivation, the star power was channeled into her body and absorbed by her, causing her to feel unprecedented satisfaction.
The sixth Star River's Star Soul had indeed given her a great surprise, but she felt an unprecedented joy in her training. Although she was still lacking a lot in terms of advancement, the improvement in her strength still made her happy.
Not long after, the meridians in her body began to swell and ache. She knew that she had reached her limits and needed to polish them properly. Thus, she couldn't help but open her eyes.
But very quickly, she was stunned, because she did not see Qin Zheng's figure. Even the nearby bonfire had been completely extinguished, and their surroundings were pitch black.
”Where did he go?”
Jiu Mu Li frowned, in this pitch black environment, the surroundings were completely empty. Only she felt that it was a bit creepy.
This kind of feeling where she was the only one left in this world made her feel very flustered. The dark surroundings made her even more afraid.
”Why is he getting more and more cowardly?”
She cursed under her breath, but there was nothing she could do.
Qin Zheng acted mysteriously. Since he did not say anything, she wanted to know, so there was nothing he could do. He just ignored him, and felt extremely unwell in the dark.
”small lamp, I'm afraid of the dark, why don't you have a chat with me?”
Jiu Mu Li looked at the glazed palace lamp and transmitted a thought over.
”Ding ding ding.”
The glazed palace lamp broke free from her palm and circled around her, finally stopping in front of her, laughing at her cowardice.
”It's not that I'm timid, it's just that this world is too bizarre.”
Jiu Mu Li was speechless. In her previous life, she would not have been afraid, but in this Sea of Nine Serenities, danger was everywhere. How could she be at ease?
The glazed palace lamp did not mock her this time, but instead intimately rubbed the dagger on her shoulder against her face.
”You're still the best. You're much better than that lousy lotus seed.”
Jiu Mu Li smiled.
”What's wrong with me, what's wrong with me …”
Just as Jiu Mu Li was thinking this, with a movement between her brows, the dissatisfied thoughts of the lotus seed gushed into her mind like floodwaters, and kept on repeating, showing extreme dissatisfaction.
Jiu Mu Li was dumbstruck, and quickly comforted.
With small lamp by her side, the fear in her heart slowly dissipated, and she simply lit a new bonfire.
After an unknown period of time, just as Jiu Mu Li was bored out of his mind, a figure approached from afar, and instantly landed on the beach.
”He's back.”
When Jiu Mu Li realized that the person who came was Qin Zheng, he was extremely happy. At least Qin Zheng did not abandon her and just stayed by her side.
Seeing Qin Zheng approaching, Jiu Mu Li felt a sense of security.
”Where did you go?” she asked subconsciously.
Qin Zheng did not speak, and slowly walked in front of her, with a complicated look in his eyes.
”What's going on? Is my entire body drenched?”
Jiu Mu Li frowned slightly. She discovered that Qin Zheng's clothes were completely drenched, and there were even drops of water constantly dripping.
”Nothing.”
Qin Zheng said indifferently, the Spirit Qi on his body surged, and very quickly, the water on his clothes evaporated in an instant, and his entire being became refreshed again.
Jiu Mu Li opened his mouth, but felt that the other party had some secret matter to attend to, so he did not ask him any questions in the end.
”Look at this …”
Qin Zheng said, he extended his hand out in front of Jiu Mu Li, and opened his palm.
”Buzz!”
A warm ray of light suddenly emerged from his palm. It was as if a bright light had suddenly illuminated the entire beach.
Jiu Mu Li subconsciously closed his eyes, and only opened them after a long time, and looked at the object in Qin Zheng's palm with a face full of shock!
”That's right!”
Jiu Mu Li was truly shocked, because a small bead was lying on his palm.
The bead was smooth and round, giving off a dazzling, milky white glow. However, it was not dazzling, and at a glance, one could tell that it was not an ordinary object.
Luminous pearls?
Jiu Mu Li wanted to ask, but he felt that it wasn't the case. Although the Night Pearl was also bright, it was definitely not as dazzling as the one before, nor was it so beautiful.
”You were looking for this just now?”
Jiu Mu Li was a little dumbstruck, although the bead looked precious, it did not seem to have any other use. For such a thing, going down to the ocean would not be a good idea.
Qin Zheng's actions had always been beyond her expectations, so she was not surprised.
”Isn't it beautiful?”
Qin Zheng's mouth twitched, he suddenly pulled out a strand of hair and tied the bead together to form a necklace.
He looked at Jiu Mu Li with satisfaction for a moment, then said: ”This is the brightest pearl in the sea, here, give it to you.”
As he said that, his eyes were filled with thick flames and an indescribable emotion. He earnestly placed the pearl on Jiu Mu Li's neck.
The pearl was hidden in the depths of the ocean, and he had spent quite a bit of energy to get it. It was the best gift he had ever found.
Jiu Mu Li was stunned, she was unable to react for a moment, the pearl was already hanging around her neck, and she could feel a cold sensation.
”This is!”
She suddenly woke up from her stupor. Sensing Qin Zheng's serious expression and the trace of gentleness in his originally ice-cold eyes, she suddenly panicked in her heart.
A love token?
She suddenly realised what Qin Zheng's actions meant and understood what he meant. It was just that she was not willing to accept it now, as she did not like Qin Zheng at all.
”No, I can't take it.”
