Chapter 266 - Looking Deeply into Each Other’s Eyes

Lan Xinyu kept ranting as she disappeared further and further down the road with Baili Han. Once she knew they couldn’t see her, Ling Chuxi came out from where she was hiding around a corner and watched the disappearing backs of the two people she was spying on as she chuckled and turned around to walk to Fu Chengyu’s residence.

When she returned to the residence, Fu Chengyu and Ling Yichen were both in. Seeing Ling Chuxi return, the both of them were surprised and happy at the same time.

“Chuxi, could it be that you have broken through to the Great Fulfilment already? And experienced Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body?” asked Fu Chengyu as he looked at Ling Chuxi in astonishment.

“Yes,” answered Ling Chuxi with a nod. “And I died nine times out of ten as they say.” Indeed, this time she had almost died undergoing Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body. If it were not for Huangfu Qingjue appearing in time, she would not be standing here now. It was only now that Ling Chuxi could properly see through to Fu Chengyu’s cultivation level. He was at Battle Qi Level 9 Pinnacle stage! No wonder he could so easily kill off the Level 6 monster beast—the slate beast. Previously, there was too big of a gap between her cultivation and Fu Chengyu’s, which was why she was not able to decipher Fu Chengyu’s cultivation level. But now, she could.

Hearing Ling Chuxi’s reply, Fu Chengyu and Ling Yichen didn’t even need to think twice to know how dangerous the situation she encountered was.

“Are you all right, though?” asked Ling Yichen worriedly as he rushed to examine Ling Chuxi from head to toe, anxiously checking and confirming that Ling Chuxi really was fine. He felt relieved upon finding no injuries and oddities on her person.

“I’m fine, really,” said Ling Chuxi as she gently shook her head. Looking at Ling Yichen’s eyes that were full of worry, Ling Chuxi felt a warmth in her heart. Since coming to this world alone till now where she had people she worried about, and people who worried about her, it had been such a journey and she felt really good about how things were now.

“It’s good that you are fine. However, Chuxi, you were actually able to break through so quickly to the Great Fulfilment and experience Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body,” said Fu Chengyu in a tone full or surprise as he spoke up from the side. He had never thought that Ling Chuxi would actually be promoted so quickly in her cultivation.

“Actually, it was a real adventure…” began Ling Chuxi as she smiled awkwardly. She sat down and drank some hot tea before she started to tell Fu Chengyu and Ling Yichen what happened in earnest. After the two of them heard her story, they secretly clicked their tongues.

“You are also really too impulsive. You had not even clarified what those two monster beasts were fighting about, yet you went ahead and snatched it for yourself. It’s a good thing you are fine,” admonished Ling Yichen somewhat accusingly upon hearing how dangerous Ling Chuxi’s situation was.

“Uh huh… In the future I won’t be so impulsive anymore,” replied Ling Chuxi as she smiled awkwardly, feeling somewhat guilty.

Fu Chengyu and Ling Yichen talked to Ling Chuxi for a bit more before Ling Chuxi took a look around. “Where is Zhuoyi? Is he not around?”

“He went out with the fifth princess. The two of them have registered to participate in the competition,” said Ling Yichen.

Ling Chuxi touched her chin as she secretly thought to herself in her heart. It seems as though there would be an upcoming show starring these two delightful frenemies—the fifth princess and Xia Zhuoyi.

Just at this moment, a person came running in from outside. It was Lan Xinyu!

“Ling Chuxi, I’m going to kill you! Are you even human? How could you actually break through to the Great Fulfilment and successfully undergo Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body just like that?! How are the rest of us humans even supposed to live?!” snapped Lan Xinyu as she entered. She was just about ready to choke Ling Chuxi.

“Oh, have you sent off your darling peach blossom already?” teased Ling Chuxi as she raised her brows.

“Huh? What peach blossom?” asked Lan Xinyu, stunned. She did not know what Ling Chuxi was talking about.

“Baili Han. The two of you were looking deeply into each other’s eyes just now. I saw it very clearly. I didn’t know that you could suddenly be so warm-hearted as to even lead the way for others like that. Tsk, tsk, tsk…” clucked Ling Chuxi as she sighed.

Lan Xinyu regained her senses as she blushed. “What nonsense are you talking about? All I did was show him the way. It’s not like I’d lose anything by doing so.”
