Chapter 468: Chapter 468: The Doctor Told Me to Eat More Soft Meals

The disturbance caused by Shi Yaoguang and the man in black was not insignificant.

Quan Jinbei hadn’t yet reached Panlong Mountain when the discussions coming from all directions reached his ears.

Thunder during the daytime at Panlong Mountain was certainly peculiar.

As for what exactly was peculiar about it, people couldn’t figure it out for the time being.

However...

Whether they understood it or not didn’t matter.

Once Quan Jinbei determined Shi Yaoguang’s location, he didn’t delay any longer and swiftly moved in their direction.

He could vaguely hear the exclamations of the people nearby.

"Did you see that? Something seemed to fly past just now..."

"Whoosh—" Someone made a hand gesture, "It went by in a flash, what kind of thing moves so fast?"

"How come I didn’t see it? I must be seeing things."

"Eh, today this Panlong Mountain is really full of strange occurrences."

"Between the thunder in broad daylight and that whooshing sound, I really don’t know what’s going on..."

...

"Mere ants dare to challenge the authority of the Heavenly Dao... I will reduce you to ashes!"

When Quan Jinbei arrived, what he saw was Shi Yaoguang bound by light, with a longsword crackling with electricity slashing towards her.

Whether Shi Yaoguang could safely dodge the longsword’s attack, Quan Jinbei didn’t know.

He instinctively rushed out, standing in front of her.

Before making that move, he didn’t think it through at all.

Shi Yaoguang also didn’t expect him to suddenly appear.

Nor did she expect him to stand in front of her.

The man in black’s longsword was infused with the power of the Heavenly Dao’s origin.

He stood out like this, confronting it with his mortal body, was he tired of living?

For a moment, Shi Yaoguang even felt an urge to crack open his skull and see what he was thinking.

But she also knew, it wasn’t his fault.

His actions were for her sake.

Because of this, she could only try to bring him within her protective range in the blink of an eye.

Quan Jinbei, with Shi Yaoguang protected behind him, already had a plan in his mind.

So, just as the longsword was about to stab him, he condensed Rule Power with the back of his hand.

Countering the Heavenly Dao-originated longsword with Rule Power naturally posed no problem.

The man in black was recoiling from his own longsword’s backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a "puh".

He clutched his chest, his expression one of disbelief, "No, this can’t be possible!"

His failure lay in not foreseeing that Shi Yaoguang would give the Rule Power-containing Heart of the Glacier to someone else.

If it were him, he would never have just handed it over to someone else.

But Shi Yaoguang had done just that, giving away the Heart of the Glacier.

He hadn’t even recovered from his shock when Quan Jinbei, who had absorbed the Rule Power, emerged.

After finally obtaining the Heart of the Glacier and absorbing its contained energy, instead of making it his own, he foolishly ran out.

The Rule Power he had used for the counterattack was something that, once used up, was gone.

In other words, his earlier action was a complete waste.

No.

More precisely, he had exchanged the Rule Power for the man in black’s life.

Rule Power has always had a restraining relationship with the Heavenly Dao.

If things remain peaceful, it’s fine, but when Rule Power clearly opposes the Heavenly Dao, the latter is bound to be suppressed.

This was also why the man in black could be injured by Quan Jinbei.

Shi Yaoguang seized the opportunity of his injury to claim his life.

With just a flick of her fingers, she spared his little life.

"Damn it, you and I are irreconcilable enemies!"

Before the man in black completely dissipated, he roared unwillingly.

Shi Yaoguang, however, sneered, "Haven’t we been in opposing camps all along?"

After that, she ruthlessly collected the energy that formed after the man in black dissipated.

Having absorbed a portion of the Heavenly Dao’s energy, Shi Yaoguang wasn’t too happy.

Thinking of how it came at the cost of Quan Jinbei’s Rule Power, she felt heartache.

If she had a choice, she would rather not have the man in black’s energy and hope that Quan Jinbei would keep his Rule Power.

Between the two, the Rule Power was indeed somewhat more important.

Quan Jinbei seemed to grasp her thoughts, his eyes blazing as he looked at her with a very serious tone.

"As precious as the Rule Power is, it can never compare to your worth," he said.

Shi Yaoguang was deeply exasperated, "If I dare to challenge the man in black, I can surely ensure my own safety! Do you have any idea how hard it is to find Rule Power in this world? You’ve wasted it so carelessly, and now you won’t find a second portion!"

Quan Jinbei wasn’t concerned, "Compared with seeing you hurt, it’s fine if the Rule Power is spent."

He said this while also keeping an eye on Shi Yaoguang’s expression.

Seeing her almost murderous with rage, he coughed lightly and quickly made excuses for himself, "Ahem, haven’t I still retained a bit? It should be enough for healing."

"Hmph," Shi Yaoguang shot him a sidelong glance, "You just keep on acting, and when you’re out of Rule Power, let’s see what you can do!"

Quan Jinbei just smiled, "Isn’t that what I have you for, my dear wife? I believe you will definitely be able to protect me."

Shi Yaoguang snorted, "Wishful thinking."

Quan Jinbei spoke convincingly, "I became this fragile for your sake. If you don’t appreciate it, then there’s nothing I can do."

As he spoke, he lowered his gaze, revealing a look of despondency.

Shi Yaoguang covered her face, her tone full of disdain, "Stop making that pitiful face, I won’t sympathize with you."

"I don’t want your sympathy," he said, reaching out to take her hand and placing it over his heart, his eyes locked on her, "All I want is for my dear wife to cherish me."

"Pfft—", Shi Yaoguang almost choked on her saliva, "What did you say?"

Quan Jinbei, dead serious, "I’ve consulted with the doctor, who said I have a weak stomach and should eat more soft rice."

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

Quan Jinbei intertwined his fingers with hers, a smile curling up the corners of his lips, "I think the doctor makes sense, so you need to cooperate with me and follow the doctor’s orders."

Shi Yaoguang hummed softly and rolled her eyes, "In your dreams."

Despite her words, the hand held tightly by the man did not pull away.

Hand in hand, the two returned to Quan Mansion, which left the butler astounded.

Seeing the joyful expression on the face of the Third Master, he felt an urge to cover his eyes.

Tch.

A man in love.

Just unbearable to watch!

Quan Jinbei didn’t care what he thought, leading his wife by the hand upstairs.

On the third floor, Shi Yaoguang created a boundary to ensure that the energy would not dissipate before releasing the energy from the man in black’s dissipation.

She had no intention of absorbing this energy alone.

Originally, she had intended, even at the risk of seriously injuring herself, to keep the man in black alive.

That way, even if she was gravely injured, she could still use this energy to heal herself.

But Quan Jinbei’s intervention had resulted in the man in black’s life being spared, and the Rule Power now gone.

Without the Rule Power, she could only reluctantly make do with the energy from the Heavenly Dao.

Luckily, the Heavenly Dao was unaware of Shi Yaoguang’s disdain. If it had known, it might have risked destroying the world just to end her as well.
