Chapter 1455: Chapter 1484: Ling Shu Is Poisonous
They looked at each other without words.
Ling Shu extended her slender, snow-white arms, hooking them around Jiang Fan’s neck.
Jiang Fan lowered his head.
Their lips intertwined, merging together.
Ling Shu was originally reserved and shy, Jiang Fan was usually cautious and calm.
Yet, one had returned from death, understanding the pain of separation between life and death.
The other knew his time was near, no longer hesitating or wavering.
Thus, they were surprisingly proactive, passionately embracing and kissing each other.
Ling Shu was very passionate.
She had been sealed away, and the last thing she thought of was the image of Jiang Fan, remembering his promise to give her what she wanted upon his return.
She thought everything would become a regret.
Unexpectedly, upon awakening again and opening her eyes, she still saw Jiang Fan.
It felt too much like a dream, one she was afraid to wake from, so she clung on desperately.
And Jiang Fan wanted to give everything of himself in his remaining time to this girl who had left a scar in his heart.
Suddenly.
Jiang Fan felt a slight prick on his lips.
At first, he didn’t mind it, thinking Ling Shu might be unskilled, causing her teeth to bite.
Gradually, the sense of pain deepened, making him realize something was wrong. He quickly pulled away, surprised, and said:
"You bit me?"
Awakening from the delightful experience, Ling Shu opened her crystal-like eyes slightly, her face flushed.
She lowered her head, not daring to look into Jiang Fan’s eyes, burying her head in his chest, and murmured softly:
"What are you saying?"
She was too immersed to even enjoy it fully, how could she bite Jiang Fan?
Tss!
The pain grew even stronger, and Jiang Fan finally realized something was amiss.
Casually, he condensed a mirror in front of him using spiritual energy.
Upon seeing his reflection, his eyes widened in astonishment.
His lips had turned black and were swelling continuously. Within this short time, his two lips had swollen into plump pods.
"What... what’s happening?"
Jiang Fan exclaimed in shock.
As his lips swelled, the words he spoke came out with a buzzing sound.
Only then did Ling Shu realize something was wrong. When she looked up, she covered her red lips in shock:
"Brother, what happened to your lips?"
She reached out to touch them.
Unexpectedly, her hand seemed like it was poisonous.
With just a touch, his swollen pod-like lips immediately ballooned up like a balloon.
In the blink of an eye, they looked like two churros.
Jiang Fan looked at Ling Shu in shock, quickly letting her go and keeping his distance.
Even the Golden Scale Venerate noticed their abnormality and swiftly approached.
Upon noticing Jiang Fan’s lips, even with his stoic demeanor from experiencing the Heavenly Human Five Declines, his mouth twitched, and he nearly burst out laughing.
Liu Li, rushing over as well, was far less restrained.
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha, serves you right for sneaking around!"
Witnessing their mutual embrace, how could Liu Li not have seen it?
She felt sour inside but simply didn’t want to disturb their tender moment.
Little did she expect, after just a brief kiss, Jiang Fan would suffer retribution.
Jiang Fan’s face turned dark as the power of thunder and lightning flowed around his lips.
Waves of black mist were evaporated, and only then did his lips gradually return to normal.
Jiang Fan stared at the black mist, his eyes growing serious.
Even the Golden Scale Venerate couldn’t laugh anymore, frowning slightly: "Alien Power?"
Within the black mist was indeed the alien power from the black mysterious ice!
This meant that the alien power had invaded Ling Shu’s body.
He quickly examined Ling Shu, and after a moment, his brow furrowed even deeper.
"She has a large amount of alien power in her body."
"But it seems to have assimilated with her body, not harming her personally."
He couldn’t tell if this was good or bad.
The origin of the alien power was very mysterious.
It was extremely rare in Central Earth, and the fusion of alien power was unheard of.
Upon learning that the alien power did not harm Ling Shu, Jiang Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Then he became puzzled: "Why can Ling Shu merge with the alien power, but Liu Li cannot?"
"Logically, Liu Li, as your daughter, Golden Scale Venerate, is a True Spirit descendant."
"Ling Shu is just an ordinary member of the Demon Race."
Even if the alien power wanted to recognize a master, shouldn’t it choose Liu Li?"
Ling Shu looked at her own hands and said, "Alien power?"
She fell into recollection and after a moment, uncertainly said:
"When I was sealed, it felt like I heard a vague voice."
"It seemed to come from that crystal mine."
Hmm?
Now, it wasn’t just Jiang Fan, even the Golden Scale Venerate was startled.
"Could that crystal mine have some awareness?"
"What did it say?"
Ling Shu was increasingly unsure and said, "It said four words."
"Something like... Tai Xu Shen Shu..."
The Golden Scale Venerate furrowed his brows tightly. What is Tai Xu Shen Shu?
He had never heard of it.
After pondering for a while, he said, "In any case, this should be considered a creation for you."
"You can try to absorb more alien power and embark on a path of cultivation like an Outer Heaven creature."
Ling Shu worriedly asked, "But will there be any problems with this?"
Jiang Fan walked over, embracing her comfortingly, "Give it a try."
"Perhaps you can forge a unique martial path."
With Ling Shu’s aptitude and background, she could never travel as far as Liu Li.
Her potential for Divinity Transformation in this lifetime was uncertain.
Now, being able to absorb alien power from beyond the world was a path worth trying.
Of course.
The most important thing was that he understood what Ling Shu meant by "Tai Xu Shen Shu."
The reason everyone couldn’t understand it>
was that Ling Shu had only comprehended the pronunciation.
The voice was likely speaking of... the Void Divine Tree!
Perhaps, because of the life-and-death bond between Ling Shu and Jiang Fan, Ling Shu had a trace of the aura or imprint of the Void Divine Tree.
This was detected by the consciousness of the crystal mine.
And so, it integrated the alien power into Ling Shu’s body.
Whether that consciousness was benevolent or not was unclear, but it had no malice.
Otherwise, it could merely watch Ling Shu be frozen to death rather than unnecessarily integrating alien power.
This was why Jiang Fan encouraged Ling Shu to cultivate the alien power.
Hearing Jiang Fan speak so, Ling Shu’s doubts dissipated; she smiled sweetly: "Okay, I’ll do as Brother says."
She wanted to reach out and embrace Jiang Fan but was afraid the alien power would poison him.
Unconsciously, she pouted: "Does this mean I can’t touch Brother in the future?"
If even simple contact was impossible, could she not become Brother Jiang Fan’s bride?
For a moment, her willow-leaf eyebrows knitted tightly together.
This alien power was truly troublesome!
Jiang Fan smiled gently and said, "You just can’t control the alien power yet. Once you’ve practiced to a certain level, you’ll be able to control it freely and no longer accidentally harm others."
Currently, Ling Shu was like a mortal who had gained a Nascent Soul’s power.
Before digesting this power, it would naturally cause harm to those around.
Hearing this, Ling Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly said:
"Brother, should we return to Taicang State now?"
Hearing this, Liu Li couldn’t help but panic.
If the two went back, wouldn’t they soon be sharing a bed and having a little Jiang Fan?
Why should they?
She stomped her foot, grabbing Ling Shu’s arm and said, "You’re not allowed to go. Stay with me in the Demon Continent."
Ling Shu gave her a sidelong glance: "You take good care of Spiritual Snake Mountain as the princess."
"I’m going back with Brother."
Golden Scale Venerate pondered for a moment, then said, "Jiang Fan, let Ling Shu stay."
"It’s best to have a protector while she cultivates the alien power."
Jiang Fan had experience with the dangers of alien power.
A careless touch before had nearly driven him mad.
Only a Supreme like the Golden Scale Venerate could suppress the alien power.
If something went wrong during Ling Shu’s cultivation, Jiang Fan alone couldn’t manage it.
After a brief contemplation, he said, "Alright."
Then he turned to comfort the anxious Ling Shu:
"I’ll stay with you for a few days before I leave."
"Be good."
However, just as his voice fell.
A detached voice, bearing the might of the heavens, descended from the skies.
"There’s no need for you to leave."
"Practitioner of the Void Flow Thunder Force!"
