CHAPTER 251: CHAPTER 238: ETERNAL FLOWER

On the ground.

The powder from All-Worlds Communication is scattered everywhere.

Atop Ling Tian Peak, all is quiet.

Shi Nian looks on expressionlessly.

She doesn’t believe a single word of Lu Zhuoyan’s nonsense.

She is communicating with Xiao Tong.

"Host! I’ve found the problem!" Xiao Tong’s voice is urgent: "Lu Zhuoyan’s soul body, he was born incomplete! It seems to be just a part severed from someone else, and thrown into his body. But that person must be very powerful, otherwise, an incomplete soul body couldn’t possibly be this strong! I’ve discovered that there’s a faint connection between Lu Zhuoyan’s soul body and a certain place in the Upper Realm. His soul body is being constantly pulled, and seems about to be yanked back to the Upper Realm at any moment. Once it returns to the Upper Realm, it’s mostly likely to merge with the soul body. After the merge, there will certainly be a dominant and a subordinate part, and in this world, there may no longer be Lu Zhuoyan."

Shi Nian’s pupils suddenly constrict.

His soul body is incomplete.

Tangled with the Upper Realm.

For some reason.

Shi Nian suddenly recalls those eyes from Mei City that spied on her from the Upper Realm!

That presence’s gaze, capable of piercing through two worlds, placed in the Immortal World, would certainly also be an explosive existence.

It is precisely because she dreaded such a presence that she thought of not hurrying to the Immortal World.

She understands now.

Why in the book, even though Ling Tian Peak has such a mysterious and enigmatic little uncle, he never appeared in the plot, even allowing one tragedy after another to happen.

Looking at the timeline!

By the time Ling Tian Peak’s tragedies had unfolded one by one, Lu Zhuoyan would have long been forcefully taken back to the Immortal World for the merge.

At this very moment.

She finally understands the great terror hidden within Lu Zhuoyan, what exactly it is!

But!

What can she do?

What can she do?

Shi Nian’s hands clench tightly into fists.

Never has she felt as helpless as she does now.

These days.

Lu Zhuoyan has done everything he possibly could to help her.

But when he himself is in danger, he hasn’t uttered a single word about it.

He even talked about leaving for good under the pretense that he had avenged and repaid his debts.

Where is he leaving to?

He’s simply not coming back!

"Xiao Tong, is there any way to stop all of this from happening?" Shi Nian asks, her voice rough.

Xiao Tong is silent for a while, then says: "Host, that person’s strength is too great, we are no match for him at this time."

"Xiao Tong, please." Shi Nian’s voice even carries a hint of begging.

Xiao Tong becomes even more silent.

Ever since binding herself to Shi Nian, she has always carried herself with a mix of nonchalance and mediocrity, constantly frustrating to the point of exasperation.

Back then, Xiao Tong had secretly thought, "Hmph, with her head in the clouds like this, she ought to encounter an insurmountable issue and regret her own powerlessness!"

But now.

This kind of situation has truly arisen.

Yet Xiao Tong finds no joy in it.

For the first time...

She sees such a helpless expression on Shi Nian’s face.

Xiao Tong sighs and says: "Host, stopping it is definitely impossible. But I just checked the System Mall, and there seems to be one item that might be of use."

In front of Shi Nian, the only object appears.

It is a brilliantly colored flower of unparalleled beauty, named Eternal Flower.

The flower, aside from being beautiful, does not seem to possess any other special features.

But its price stands at the astonishing amount of a million top-grade Crystal Stones.

"This flower can protect a soul from perishing for ten years. Host, you can’t afford a whole flower, but Lu Zhuoyan’s soul body isn’t whole either. I estimate that if you spend ten thousand top-grade Crystal Stones to purchase one of the Eternal Flower’s petals, you can maintain Lu Zhuoyan’s soul vitality for ten years. Even that existence will not be able to completely erase his Spiritual Sense."

Ten thousand top-grade Crystal Stones.

Expensive? Very expensive.

Worth it? Very worth it.

"Buy it." Shi Nian says without hesitation.

She feels somewhat relieved now, grateful that she hadn’t immediately spent the Spirit Stones she obtained.

Otherwise, whether it was the tribulation of the eldest senior sister or the current crisis facing Lu Zhuoyan, she would have had no means to resolve it.

Top-grade Crystal Stones!

She still needed to work hard to get more.

The petals of the Eternal Flower silently appeared in Shi Nian’s storied space.

Only then did Shi Nian finally take a long sigh of relief.

No matter what, she had managed to secure another ten years.

In the past, she thought about dawdling and delaying her visit to the Immortal World.

Now, her thoughts had changed.

Within these ten years, not only did she have to reach the Immortal World, but she also had to grow strong enough to rescue her Junior Uncle.

All of a sudden, time had become extraordinarily urgent.

"Then, I shall take my leave first." Lu Zhuoyan said with a smile, taking out a Thousand-mile Transfer Talisman.

"Junior Uncle." Shi Nian suddenly spoke.

Lu Zhuoyan didn’t dare to turn around, simply saying, "Shi Nian, happy birthday. And, take care of Little Yellow along with me, will you?"

With a wave of his hand.

A small yellow chick fell onto the ground, it seemed to realize something too, constantly speaking to Lu Zhuoyan.

Lu Zhuoyan stroked its head: "Stay with your brother."

Little Yellow was eager to jump back into his arms.

But Lu Zhuoyan had already used the Thousand-mile Transfer Talisman without any hesitation.

And then.

His figure completely vanished on the spot.

"Lu Zhuoyan, you this..." Ling Tian Sword Master was so anxious he wanted to stamp his feet, but at this moment, he could no longer capture Lu Zhuoyan’s presence.

Shi Nian walked over, picked up the helpless Little Yellow, and said gently, "Don’t worry, there will be a day when we meet again. Stay here and be good, I’m going to attend to some matters with your brother."

Shi Nian glanced at the bald fellow.

The bald fellow nodded his head.

Just now, Shi Nian gave it a set of coordinates.

The bald fellow instantly activated a skill, and Shi Nian also disappeared on the spot in an instant.

The reason Shi Nian left right after letting Lu Zhuoyan go was, of course, because she had long ago locked onto Lu Zhuoyan’s position with a smile.

With the Divine Artifact of teleportation, the bald fellow, in her hand, Junior Uncle can’t run away!

A grassland.

The bright moon hung high, the stars twinkled.

Probably because the grassland was so vast, the stars in the sky also seemed especially sparse.

Lu Zhuoyan wobbled a few times and couldn’t stabilize himself, so he simply lay down with the momentum.

At this moment, he.

Was already at the end of his tether.

But that’s okay.

The starry sky tonight is beautiful.

Lu Zhuoyan just quietly watched like this, then waited for the final moment to arrive.

The next moment.

A flash of light passed by.

Lu Zhuoyan tilted his head and saw Shi Nian standing in front of him, holding a chicken.

"Junior Uncle, did you really think you could escape from the palm of my hand?"

Shi Nian gave out a wicked smile, seemingly quite greasy.

Lu Zhuoyan: "..."

For some reason, a smile crept up the corners of his lips involuntarily.

"Indeed, I can’t escape."

Shi Nian naturally sat down beside him: "Of course you can’t."

Lu Zhuoyan glanced at her: "Actually, you shouldn’t have come."

His solitary and quiet departure was the best outcome for everyone.

Shi Nian laughed: "If I hadn’t come, I would have regretted it."

Suddenly, she grabbed Lu Zhuoyan’s hand.

Lu Zhuoyan was startled for a moment.

The next instant. His expression changed slightly.

In the palm of Shi Nian’s hand, there was something hidden.

Through this action, that thing turned into a cool sensation and had already entered his body.

Lu Zhuoyan felt his soul body stabilize a bit at that moment.

He couldn’t help but look at Shi Nian.

What is this?
