Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (201-400)

382- Inquiring Immortals Spiritual Core

Qing Zhu’s eyes were red with anger as he glared at Xiao Linfeng. “Whenever I see you, even killing you would be too light a punishment. When you see me in the future, take a detour and go around me. Don’t appear in my sight!”

Liu Mengchen didn’t know what to say. In this matter, he was the one who had the least right to speak.

Xiao Linfeng, however, stopped pretending and put his foot down. His knife-shaped eyebrows pinched together as he frowned at Qing Zhu, “Has this elder brother offended you before?”

Qing Zhu glared at him scathingly, “Who are you taking advantage of?”   

Xiao Linfeng cocked his head and stared at Qing Zhu with a pair of slightly slanting phoenix eyes, trying to please him, “You misunderstood me. I swear I didn’t mean to take advantage of you at all. I can even call you ‘elder brother’, even though you look much younger than me. I wouldn’t want to be blamed for calling you old, right?”

Qing Zhu rolled his eyes. He knew about this Xiao Linfeng before but had only heard his name. He never knew this guy was such a character.

Liu Mengchen’s face was not looking very good. He hadn’t expected Xiao Linfeng to come over and dare to flirt with Qing Zhu, making Liu Mengchen feel strange. It felt like a territory of his was being invaded.

Thus Liu Mengchen came over and interrupted the two men’s war of words. He said to Xiao Linfeng, “Linfeng, why are you here?”

Xiao Fengfeng replied, “I haven’t seen my friend for several years. I miss you so much that I went to the Liu family to look for you. I just didn’t expect your brother to say that you went to the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest with a group of people. I came here looking for you. Haha, it’s destiny that we met in this place.”

Qing Zhu laughed coldly, “Take your time chatting. I’ll leave first.”

With that, Qing Zhu left the room with a swing of his sleeves. Liu Mengchen followed closely behind him. After they left the room, Liu Mengchen said nervously, “Zhu’er, he’s a good friend of mine. It’s just like this between me and him, that’s all.”

“You don’t have to explain anything to me.” Qing Zhu airily replied, “I’m no longer the idiot who was tricked into falling in love by a few words. The person you worked so hard to please is now in front of you, and I’m of little value to you now. Just like this, you go your own way, and I go on my own single wooden plank. That’s it.”

“Zhu’er.” Liu Mengchen took hold of Qing Zhu’s wrist and urgently said, “I admit that I deceived you in those days, and it was my fault. But now I regretted it and I shouldn’t have done so. If only I told you everything…”

“But you won’t.” Qing Zhu stared at Liu Mengchen coldly, “You know that the most important thing for an Inquiring Immortals spiritual grass is its spiritual core. Even if you tell me everything and discuss with me, I will never easily give it — a spiritual core worth half my lifespan — to your old lover. Liu Mengchen, besides loving you, what else do I owe you?”

Liu Mengchen seemed to have been struck by lightning. His body was stiff. His lips trembled slightly and his face was pale. Obviously, he was thinking of how he had treated Qing Zhu at the beginning.

Qing Zhu shook off Liu Mengchen’s hand, then turned and strode away.   

Liu Mengchen stood in place for a while, looking at his empty hand. He couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable inside.

“It turns out that the spiritual core of an Inquiring Immortals spiritual grass that you found for me back then was obtained from that little thing.” Xiao Linfeng’s expression was slightly complicated as he stood behind Liu Mengchen. He looked at Qing Zhu’s disappearing figure and touched his own abdomen.
