Chapter 61: Helping Her Through
"Boom!" Suddenly, the green lotus in midair emitted violent energy fluctuations. Clearly, Ling Qingzhu had encountered a problem. Xiao Tian looked over and saw that her previously pale skin was now flushed with a faint red. Powerful pure Yin energy was surging uncontrollably from her body, causing ripples in the light shield formed by the green lotus.
Realizing something was wrong, Ling Qingzhu's eyes filled with cold determination as she tried to suppress the rampant pure Yin energy. However, her cultivation was only at the Creation stage, far weaker than the Nirvana Heart, which contained the lifetime essence of a Nirvana stage expert.
In just a few breaths, Ling Qingzhu was completely enveloped by the pure Yin energy. Although this energy was highly beneficial, its excessive amount threatened to burn her alive if not properly neutralized.
"Despicable fiend!" Ling Qingzhu stood up abruptly, her face icy as she struck the stone coffin with her palm.
"Boom!" In an instant, the entire stone coffin and the skeleton inside were reduced to powder by her attack. She then turned her gaze to Xiao Tian, asking coldly, "Did you know the Nirvana Heart had problems?"
"I only saw the small writing inside just now," Xiao Tian replied, then asked, "Didn't you read what was written inside?"
"Young Master Xiao!" Ling Qingzhu's expression shifted as the pure Yin energy within her grew stronger. She looked at Xiao Tian, her initially cold voice turning soft, "Would you lend me your Yang energy? I promise to repay you handsomely."
"That's not proper. I, Xiao Tian, am not that kind of person," Xiao Tian said, shaking his head.
"Crack!" Ling Qingzhu clenched her fists in frustration. Did he think she was a loose woman? She took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I have other means. It won't require that."
"Miss Qingzhu, nothing in this world comes without a cost," Xiao Tian said calmly. "You want my Yang energy without offering anything in return? That's impossible."
"Rest assured, I will compensate you," Ling Qingzhu insisted.
Xiao Tian looked at her with a playful smile, "I'm not interested in other compensations. But if you personally compensate me, I might agree."
"Impudent!" Ling Qingzhu's eyes turned icy as she waved her hand. The green lotus at her feet shot out beams of green light, forming chains that aimed to bind Xiao Tian.
"If you won't cooperate, I'll take it by force," she declared.
"You think I'm afraid of you?" Xiao Tian summoned the Tianlin Ancient Halberd to his hand and engaged in battle with her.
"Clang! Clang!" Their cultivation levels were similar, so neither gained an advantage in the short term. Just as Ling Qingzhu prepared to unleash a powerful martial technique, a teasing voice echoed.
"Why are you two fighting? This isn't the scene I want to see!"
A phantom figure emerged from the broken stone coffin.
"Who are you?" Ling Qingzhu demanded.
"Why so fierce?" The phantom figure looked at the shattered stone coffin and the bone powder. "You destroyed my coffin and remains, and you still ask who I am?"
"Despicable fiend, using such vile methods!" Ling Qingzhu gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with rage.
"Who told you to swallow the Nirvana Heart without reading my message?" the phantom figure retorted. "Besides, the union of Yin and Yang is natural. There's nothing despicable about it."
"Enough nonsense! I can handle this myself," Ling Qingzhu snapped.
"You can't defeat this young man," the phantom figure said. "I designed this challenge to bring you two together, not to harm anyone."
He winked at Xiao Tian, "Young man, you're in luck. Treat her well in the future."
Hearing this, Xiao Tian perked up. He was just as eager for the opportunity.
"What are you doing?" Ling Qingzhu's voice grew colder.
"Helping you two become a perfect match," the phantom figure said, smiling. With a flick of his finger, the pure Yin energy in Ling Qingzhu's body erupted fully, freezing her energy.
"Buzz! Buzz!" Although Ling Qingzhu couldn't move, the green lotus at her feet protected her. The phantom figure pointed again, separating her from the lotus.
"Swoosh!" With a third point, two pink light clusters flew out, entering Xiao Tian and Ling Qingzhu's bodies. Both immediately felt their bodies heat up.
"You shameless old ghost!" Ling Qingzhu cursed through gritted teeth.
"Who told you to ignore my warning and destroy my remains?" the phantom figure replied. He then looked at Xiao Tian, "Young man, you received the Tianlin Ancient Halberd and showed me respect. Today, I give you a gift."
A light beam shot from his finger into Xiao Tian's mind. With that, the phantom figure vanished completely.
Xiao Tian used his soul power to inspect the stone symbol and the black ring. Then he looked at Ling Qingzhu. Her delicate body trembled as she approached him, her previously clear eyes now clouded with mist. She was enveloped in pure Yin energy, while Xiao Tian was surrounded by pure Yang energy. It was as if a freezing person had found a warm fire and couldn't resist moving closer.
Her slender arms wrapped around Xiao Tian's neck, her soft body clinging to him like a water snake. Her fragrance filled Xiao Tian's senses.
"Xiao Tian, if you dare touch me, I will kill you," Ling Qingzhu whispered, her voice cold but tinged with emotion. She had transformed from an untouchable fairy into a seductive enchantress.
Xiao Tian couldn't resist any longer. With a wave of his hand, he closed the bronze door. He reached out, tearing away Ling Qingzhu's veil, revealing her stunning face.
Xiao Tian felt his breath catch. Swallowing hard, he leaned in to kiss her. Her lips were soft, cool, and moist, making him lose himself in the sensation.
As they kissed, beams of light formed an opaque shield around them, enveloping them completely.
