Chapter 320 - You Are Jing Hong!
Chapter 320 You Are Jing Hong!
Hua Qingwu’s soul was getting thinner and thinner, and if it were not for Emperor Ao’s secret techniques, it would have dispersed.
“What the hell is going on?” Chu Xun was full of sorrow and panic. If her soul dissipated, Hua Qingwu would never be able to wake up again.
Emperor Ao was also puzzled. Logically, it shouldn’t be difficult for the soul to merge into Hua Qingwu’s body since it was her own soul. Emperor Ao didn’t understand why she rejected the soul.
“Little Wu, relax. Don’t resist it. I’ll help you wake up.” Chu Xun shouted at Hua Qingwu in panic, though he knew that she couldn’t hear him.
At this moment, the purple-haired woman stood up and walked up to the ice coffin. Looking at the sleeping Hua Qingwu inside, she softly said, “Although I don’t know what had happened, let’s talk about it after you wake up. Accept your soul. If you don’t wake up, he will live in guilt for the rest of his life. You don’t want to see him sad, do you?”
It was so strange that both Emperor Ao’s secret techniques and Chu Xun words didn’t work, but the purple-haired woman’s words worked. On hearing those words, Hua Qingwu didn’t reject her soul any more, and started to merge with it.
Chu Xun and Emperor Ao both heaved a sigh of relief.
After a long time, Hua Qingwu’s soul finally merged into her body successfully.
However, she still did not wake up; she needed Soul-Curing Flower as the Yang guiding herbs to wake up.
Nevertheless, she was intact right now.
Emperor Ao left.
Leaning on the ice coffin, Chu Xun spoke to Hua Qingwu softly.
The purple-haired woman was sitting on the top of a mountain, with her dress folded and her head down. She sometimes cast a look toward Chu Xun and Hua Qingwu, and no one knows what she was thinking.
...
...
Chu Xun came to the top of the mountain and looked at the purple-haired woman. He had a lot of questions.
“Why would Little Wu listen to you?” This was what confused Chu Xun the most. The two women had never met before.
The purple-haired woman remained silent for a long while before she said, “I don’t know.”
The words made Chu Xun angry. He hated others knowing nothing about his questions and telling him that they didn’t know. Facing uncertain things made him feel very frustrated.
“I’ve never seen her before, but the moment I saw her, she gave me a familiar feeling. It made me feel like I was the one that was lying inside,” the purple-haired woman said leisurely, with a note of panic in her voice.
“What?” Chu Xun was shocked. “Do you look the same?”
“Are they twins? The twins always have a strong sense of attraction towards each other.” Chu Xun wondered to himself.
The purple-haired woman shook her head and said, “Not at all.”
Chu Xun then realized that he had thought too much. The purple-haired woman came from the world of cultivation, while Hua Qingwu was a pure earth person. It was impossible that they were twins.
“At that moment, I felt like she was me, and I was her. I could feel her helplessness and despair in the ice coffin, and I could feel that she misses and loves you,” the purple-haired woman said.
Chu Xun subconsciously clenched his fists. “I’ll try my best to bring Little Wu back to life in the rest of my life.”
“Don’t let her down. Otherwise, I won’t let you off,” the purple-haired woman said.
Chu Xun fell silent. He no longer wanted to swear, and he knew only faith would never change.
“Let’s go find Emperor Ao. He must know what’s going on,” Chu Xun said.
The purple-haired woman was stunned for a moment and then nodded. She was confused as well.
The two of them found Emperor Ao.
“You know what’s going on, don’t you?” Chu Xun came straight to the point.
Emperor Ao was fishing by the stream at the moment. He had nothing to do, so he just spent his life in cakes and ale, relaxing and fishing.
Upon hearing Chu Xun’s question, he didn’t even turn his head. With a smile around the corner of his lips, he said, “You’ll understand once you ask her to take off her veil.”
Chu Xun looked at the purple-haired woman.
The purple-haired woman’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
After a moment of silence, the purple-haired woman slowly reached out her hand and took off the veil on her face.
As she took off the veil, her purple hair became shiny silver.
Chu Xun was not surprised by this scene, because when he saw her for the first time, she was silver-haired. She made her hair purple deliberately to disguise herself.
However, when the veil was completely removed, Chu Xun felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His eyes widened, and his body went stiff. He could not even utter a complete sentence.
Her silver hair gave off a faint glow. Her eyes bright, her teeth white, her skin was as fair as snow. She had a delicate nose and cherry-like lips, so stunning and beautiful.
Even Emperor Ao couldn’t help but glance at the purple-haired woman several times. Then, he turned his head and continued fishing. He mumbled, “This kid is so lucky that the people all over the world would envy him.”
As for Chu Xun, he was completely shocked and his body was trembling. This face had appeared in his dream countless times, and this woman had been with him for a thousand years.
“Jing Hong!”
Chu Xun muttered and couldn’t keep his composure. He stepped forward and wanted to hold the woman that was on his mind day and night in his arms.
Bang!
The purple-haired woman knocked him away with a beam of white light.
“Jing Hong, I’m Chu Xun.” Chu Xun couldn’t care about anything else at the moment. He got up and shouted excitedly. He was so excited that he couldn’t control himself.
The purple-haired woman, who was now silver-haired, looked at Chu Xun calmly and asked, “Are you saying that I’m Jing Hong?”
“Yes, you’re Jing Hong.” Chu Xun said with absolute certainty.
“But I don’t remember you.”
Chu Xun was stunned for a moment. He believed what she said. If she still remembered him, she would have recognized him.
“How could things be like this?” Chu Xun looked at Emperor Ao.
Emperor Ao replied leisurely, “Don’t ask me. It’s your business. After Little Wu wakes up, everything will come to light.”
“Jing Hong, think about it again. Do you remember the people in the Lovesickness Tear? It’s you and me,” Chu Xun said hurriedly.
Jing Hong tried very hard to recall, but she couldn’t remember any scene of she and Chu Xun being together. She shook her head lightly.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Chu Xun comforted her and said, “Old Ao has told us that when Little Wu wakes up, you’ll understand.”
Bang!
Chu Xun was sent flying backward, high and far away.
“Annoying brat, if you want to be beaten up, just tell me and I’ll help you,” Emperor Ao said. “Old Ao” wasn’t a nice address.
...
In the following days, the famous Chu the Devil completely became a follower of Jing Hong.
“Can you stop following me?” Jing Hong said impatiently because now wherever she went, Chu Xun would follow behind her.
“Well, you can just focus on your own stuff.” Chu Xun didn’t care about her cold attitude. At the very least, she had accepted the name “Jing Hong”.
Back when they were in the other world, Jing Hong had always followed behind him. Now, the situation changed. Maybe this was the so-called causality.
“Jing Hong, do you remember the Thunder Unicorn that we’ve tamed. I was wondering how strong it became.”
“I don’t remember.”
“Then, do you remember the ancient medicine garden we broke into together? At that time, it was a narrow escape.”
“I don’t remember.”
“Then, do you remember the 99-step Path of Immortality that I’ve walked? I destroyed the path in the end.”
“I don’t remember.”
“Then do you remember the battle between me and Immortal Emperor Cang Ming? That battle was recorded in the annals of history.”
“I don’t remember.”
“Then do you...”
“I don’t remember.”
“Then what do you remember?”
“I remember telling you to stay away from me.”
“... ”
Chu Xun now became nagging, talking all the way behind Jing Hong. At last, Jing Hong couldn’t tolerate it, and she beat him hard, which made him escape helter-skelter.
Jing Hong once more sat on the top of a single hill, her silver hair covering her beautiful face. No one knew what she was thinking.
Chu Xun didn’t disturb her anymore. He walked to Emperor Ao and sat beside him. He picked up a stone and threw it into the water, causing the fish that was about to take the bait to flee.
Emperor Ao put away his fishing rod and squinted at Chu Xun from the corner of his eyes, asking, “Annoying brat, are you itching to be beaten up?”
“I have something to ask you.” Chu Xun suddenly became serious. He told him about the big golden spider that he had seen and Celestial Tortoise.
Emperor Ao’s face also became solemn. He sighed softly and said, “The speed of the earth’s variation is beyond my expectations.”
“Is there something you’re hiding from me?” Chu Xun asked. He always felt that it wasn’t a good thing for the earth to be awakened so quickly.
“Brat, knowing too much isn’t anything good for you. Hurry up and practice,” Emperor Ao didn’t answer Chu Xun’s question.
“Brat, remember, as the earth wakes up, it will attract all kinds of greedy people. Only when you become strong can you guard the people and things you want to protect.”
The two of them chatted for a while, but Emperor Ao didn’t say much. He just told Chu Xun to practice harder and then pointed out his shortcomings in cultivation.
“What do you plan to do next?” Emperor Ao asked.
Chu Xun replied, “I want to go to the Sanctuary of Tetrachy and borrow the Tetrarchy Cauldron, to make pills once more.”
His cultivation improved very quickly, but Yan Chong and others were too slow in making progress.
Chu Xun told Emperor Ao that the Subterranean Devils Clan was suppressed under the Tetrarchy Cauldron.
Hearing this, Emperor Ao was greatly shocked. He muttered. “Even the Subterranean Devils Clan has been alerted. It seems that other clans are about to appear as well.”
Emperor Ao told Chu Xun that in the ancient times, there were hundreds of clans on the earth, including the fiends, the genie clan, the demon race, and the feather clan, all of which were very strong, and they would show up one after another in the future.
“Be careful,” Emperor Ao reminded Chu Xun and continued, “let me know immediately if you’re in danger.”
Chu Xun nodded, stood up, and bid farewell to Emperor Ao. He was preparing to return to the Fire Dragon Palace. However, to his surprise, Jing Hong didn’t want to go with him; instead, she wanted to stay there.
“It’s good to leave her alone now,” said Emperor Ao.
Chu Xun nodded and left alone after saying some words to Jing Hong. He had never expected that Jing Hong would actually come to earth, and that she was safe and sound now. This was the only thing that made him happy after Hua Qingwu fell asleep.
...
On the martial arena of the Fire Dragon Palace, Lei Bao and Lord of Healing were in a fierce battle.
Sizzle!
A streak of lightning struck Lord of Healing and sent him flying. His body began twitching, and smoke rose from his head.
“You son of a b*tch.”
Lord of Healing was quite rich. He held the sword, which was the secret treasure Chu Xun gave him, in one hand, while holding a medicinal pestle that looked like a crystal pestle in the other hand.
“Lei Bao, do you really think that I can’t defeat you?” Lord of Healing rushed forward and brandished his long sword. The sword radiance was shining brightly.
Lei Bao held a huge mace that was surrounded by lightning in his hand. He crashed the sword radiance with an overwhelming blow. The medicinal pestle slipped out of Lord of Healing’s hand and hit Lei Bao on the belly, sending him flying backward.
“Should we try to persuade them to stop?” Yan Wushuang asked in confusion for he was new to there.
“No, over the past half a month, this kind of battle took place every day.” Yan Chong moved a table to there and made a pot of good tea, watching the battle with enjoyment.
“Why?” Yan Wushuang was puzzled, because he thought that the two people on the arena were not exchanging moves but fighting to death.
Yan Chong pointed at Winsome Widow, who stood beside the arena and looked worried, and said in a mocking tone, “They are jealous of each other.”
“Uh!” Yan Wushuang showed a strange expression. It turned out that these two men were fighting because of a woman.
“Don’t worry. They will be fine,” Yan Chong added.
Yan Wushuang followed suit and began to watch the battle with enjoyment. He enjoyed the tea, and would give his comment on the shortcomings of the two fighting men’s moves from time to time.
