Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Saving You Feng_1

Having identified the cause, Dugu Zixi released his grip and said gravely to him, "You’re not poisoned! It’s the bead within your body that is wreaking havoc. It’s constantly draining the life force from you. If this continues, in less than three years, you’ll be dead!"

In less than three years, you’ll be dead!

Hearing Dugu Zixi’s last two sentences, You Feng felt as though he had been struck by a sledgehammer, instantly feeling a piercing pain wrapping around his heart.

What he had tirelessly pursued was immortality, the ascension to the Fairy Realm.

Yet now, Dugu Zixi tells him if he doesn’t cure his ailment, he has only three years to live—how ridiculous, how ironic.

You Feng looked at Dugu Zixi, asking in a deep voice, "Then what should I do? How can my illness be cured?"

When he spoke those words, his throat felt dry, his voice husky.

Dugu Zixi replied indifferently, "Simply remove the bead from within your body, continue your cultivation, and slowly you should recover."

You Feng instantly gazed at Dugu Zixi, a glint of suspicion flashing in his eyes, "This bead, I risked my life to obtain it, must it really be removed?"

Dugu Zixi let out a proud and cold laugh, "I’m merely suggesting. Whether you remove it or not is up to you! Zixi and I have no desire for your useless trinket!"

Useless trinket!!!

You Feng instantly felt a stab in his heart!

What he treasured and fought desperately for, is just a ’useless trinket’ in the eyes of others!!!

You Feng felt his current mood was utterly terrible.

This Dugu Zixi was truly detestable!

Shen Tianxing watched the older and younger man facing off here and also felt some headache.

She didn’t want the atmosphere to stay this tense, so she earnestly said to You Feng, "Xiaofeng, regardless of how important that bead is to you, we would not covet what is yours. If we were greedy people, we wouldn’t need to pour the money we earn into charity in large sums."

"Fairy King Zixi is an incredibly great being, and he holds a very high and irreplaceable position in my heart. I hope you can trust him too!"

Hearing Shen Tianxing say this as well, You Feng then firmly said to Dugu Zixi, "I choose to trust you! Go ahead, do it!"

Dugu Zixi gave him a faint glance, making sure he had no other thoughts, before finally saying to You Feng, "I’m about to press your sleeping acupoint, sending you deep into sleep. Then I’ll extract the bead from the sea of your consciousness. Don’t worry, the removed bead will still be returned to you."

You Feng nodded, "I understand, go ahead!"

Having said this, he closed his eyes, presenting himself as if he were ready to be at Dugu Zixi’s mercy.

Seeing him like this, Dugu Zixi finally found him a bit more agreeable.

He reached out and sealed You Feng’s sleep acupoint, sending him into a deep sleep, then stealthily sent his Divine Sense into You Feng’s sea of consciousness, approaching the white bead.

The white bead seemed to possess intelligence. As soon as it sensed Dugu Zixi’s Divine Sense approaching and felt the danger, it quickly fled deeper into You Feng’s sea of consciousness.

Dugu Zixi would not let it escape so easily. With a net woven from his Divine Sense, he rapidly enveloped the white bead, severing its connection with You Feng in one stroke.

Finally, he extracted it from You Feng’s sea of consciousness and it obediently landed in Dugu Zixi’s hand.

The Chaos Spiritual Pearl indeed had become sentient.

Upon sensing that Dugu Zixi had severed its absorption of You Feng’s life force, it was filled with reluctance and resentment.

Even while controlled by Dugu Zixi, it continuously sent him complaints, "Why did you have to take me out? Why? Why?"

After awakening You Feng, Dugu Zixi coldly said to it, "You and You Feng had agreed to an equal contract, but you chose the path of evil cultivators by absorbing You Feng’s life force to enhance your own cultivation. This is an act that is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. I stripped you away from You Feng’s sea of consciousness both to save You Feng and to save you! Otherwise, the moment You Feng died would have also been the moment of your demise. Instead of being grateful to me, you actually have the audacity to resent me, do you believe that I, as a Fairy King, could not annihilate you with a single move?"

The Chaos Spiritual Pearl was scolded so fiercely by Dugu Zixi that it was left speechless.

You Feng also gave Dugu Zixi a grateful look upon hearing his words.

You Feng’s feelings towards the Chaos Spiritual Pearl were very complicated.

He had expended great effort, not shying away from bloody battles across the land and even ended up in the Mortal World, just to acquire this Chaos Spiritual Pearl.

But he could never have anticipated that the Chaos Spiritual Pearl would bring him not ascension to immortality, but almost his destruction.

If it were not for encountering Shen Tianxing and Dugu Zixi, in a few years, he would have been devoured by the Chaos Spiritual Pearl without ever realizing it, walking the path towards doom.

The mere thought of this possibility filled You Feng with the urge to destroy the Chaos Spiritual Pearl.

Looking at Dugu Zixi, his eyes also filled with complexity, with admiration, envy, and a trace of jealousy, but ultimately, all emotions settled back into calmness.

You Feng said to Dugu Zixi, "Fairy King, I cannot control this Chaos Spiritual Pearl, and now I present it to you, as recompense for saving my life."

Dugu Zixi, however, shook his head and said indifferently, "I’ve said it before, we will not take your Chaos Spiritual Pearl, and my stance remains unchanged now."

Not knowing what to say, You Feng heard this and was at a loss for words.

Dugu Zixi then explained to him, "This Chaos Spiritual Pearl of yours is indeed a treasure, but since it has been gravely injured, it barely retains any energy. It must find a master, absorbing the master’s life force and energy to recover its own cultivation. If its energy is insufficient, its powers cannot be manifested."

Having said this, Dugu Zixi spoke to the Chaos Spiritual Pearl in the palm of his hand, "Little pearl, hurry up and return the life force and energy you absorbed from You Feng, then I will find you a nurturing treasure land where you can slowly recover your cultivation."

The Chaos Spiritual Pearl, unwilling to spit out the hard-earned life force and energy it had absorbed, pretended not to hear Dugu Zixi’s words.

Dugu Zixi’s eyes narrowed as he sternly exclaimed, "Little pearl, you’d better be obedient. Otherwise, once I take action, you will no longer have any good days ahead."

Feeling the strong threat in Dugu Zixi’s words, the Chaos Spiritual Pearl angrily twitched a few times in protest.

But eventually, it obediently returned the life force and energy it had taken from You Feng back to him.

As You Feng felt his life force and energy returning, he quickly engaged his Cultivation Method to absorb it back into his body and stabilize his cultivation.

In Shen Tianxing’s astonished gaze, You Feng gradually reverted from a child of four or five years old back to his original form.

A very delicate and incredibly handsome man appeared before her.
