Chapter 597: Chapter 87 I Can’t Bear to Part with You!

Therefore, a sly smile appeared on the corner of Quan Shaoqing’s mouth as he asked Gu Xiaoxi, "Have your Inner Strength and Spiritual Energy recovered?"

"They have recovered! Not only have they recovered, but I also feel like this injury has turned into a blessing in disguise. You know, my progress on the second volume of the Cultivation Technique was slow, only at twenty percent, but when I woke up this time, I had reached seventy percent. With just a little more effort, I can achieve Great Perfection in the second volume," Gu Xiaoxi declared with pride in her voice.

This was a significant gain after her injury, so how could she not be happy.

Quan Shaoqing’s lips curled up, and looking at her increasingly radiant face under the sunlight, he leaned down to kiss her forehead and gently stroked her head, "Then bestow upon me a bit of divine light. Let me also bathe in your sacred radiance!"

"Hahaha..." Gu Xiaoxi felt that Quan Shaoqing had become more and more articulate, his words incredibly sweet.

She was so happy!

Thus, she rose into the air like a fairy, looking down at Quan Shaoqing from high above, and said earnestly, "Seeing how much you admire me, I shall impart to you a bit of divine light, so that you too may bask in Divine Power."

With that, she sprinkled a snow-white glow from the palm of her hand, directing it towards Quan Shaoqing’s body.

The large swaths of light that fell onto him made Quan Shaoqing feel the ripped wounds on his skin greedily absorbing it, as new flesh began to grow. The wounds that had been wrapped in bandages and were bleeding started to heal.

He felt as if countless ants were crawling on his wounds, gradually, the wounds vanished, and even that tingling sensation disappeared.

His entire being instantly felt rejuvenated.

Standing on the lawn, the flowers at his feet, touched by her Spiritual Energy, blossomed in an instant.

When the breeze blew, the grass bent over, and Hua Luo danced around him.

He looked up, gazing at her.

For a moment, he was completely transfixed.

The sunlight shone from behind her as she hovered in mid-air, her light blue dress making her look like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world.

Her face was delicate, her smile radiant, and with the sun behind her, the green grass and red flowers of the earth lost their color in comparison.

Her palms sprinkled Spiritual Energy, her body as light as a swallow. Was she not a fairy who had fallen to the mortal world?

In a daze, he felt that a very long time ago, he had seen a similar scene.

She was dressed in a water-blue fairy dress, bringing auspicious omens wherever she went.

Surrounded by Immortal qi, she had looked down on him from high above just like this.

"Lan Xi!"

When he inexplicably blurted out these two names, both of them were stunned.

Gu Xiaoxi also experienced a moment of trance.

It seemed that in some distant past, the same thing had happened.

He wore a bright yellow robe, noble and handsome, as beautiful as jade, and moved with elegance and grace.

He stood in a garden lush with green grass, looking to the horizon and calling her name.

She knew that he was her lover.

But at that moment, she couldn’t recall his name.

The image flashed...

It was as if they both had the same dream.

Suddenly, the dream was over...

Quan Shaoqing was even more puzzled, unable to understand whether that moment was reality or just his own illusion.

"Come down!" he said suddenly, his expression serious.

Gu Xiaoxi looked around and felt that she might have been dreaming too.

She landed beside him with a beaming smile and said, "Didn’t you ask me to give you some divine light?"

"That was too much. I just needed a little. You should keep your strength to protect yourself. That way, I can be more at ease when I’m not with you," Quan Shaoqing said, taking her into his arms tightly.

For some reason! Because of that unreachable scene just now, he suddenly felt fearful of losing her.

It was as if she could fly away from his side at any moment.

When he cried out "Lan Xi" a moment ago, his heart overflowed with sadness.

What kind of feeling was that?

If I must describe it, it’s like she was right in front of me, yet it felt as if she was as far away as the sky.

I wanted to grasp her hand, but no matter what, I couldn’t reach her apparition.

Quan Shaoqing suddenly felt a heartache.

It was as if a knife was stirring in his chest, causing him to shudder uncontrollably.

Gu Xiaoxi sensed his abnormality and quickly asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

"It’s nothing! I just kind of don’t want to part with you," Quan Shaoqing said hoarsely, his voice the result of him trying to stay calm and suppress his voice.

He was afraid that she would see, so he hugged her even tighter.

As if he was afraid she would leave, he wanted to blend her whole being into his blood, to become one with him.

Gu Xiaoxi leaned on his shoulder, feeling his unease, and then hugged him back to comfort him, "We’ve gotten used to being together for short periods and apart for long ones. Why have you suddenly become as clingy as Lingling?"

"..." It took a while for Quan Shaoqing’s pale face to recover. And that heart-wrenching pain also gradually eased a lot.

Afterwards, without even discussing it with her, he directly carried Gu Xiaoxi to Yatang City.

Outside the temporary base of Yatang City.

Quan Shaoqing let go of Gu Xiaoxi and said, "We’re here, you go in!"

Gu Xiaoxi looked up at Quan Shaoqing’s odd complexion and asked, "What happened to you just now? I felt so strange!"

"It might have been my hallucination. Xiao Xi, take good care of yourself. I need to go back!" Quan Shaoqing said as he touched her soft hair and gave instructions.

Gu Xiaoxi looked behind her where the doors were; Jing Rui was already walking towards her.

Without thinking, she tiptoed and gently kissed his lips, then straightened the collar he had wrinkled,"Go back! I will protect myself well. Because I have you and Lingling."

With that, she stepped back and then ran away quickly.

He stood there, took a deep breath, hands in his pockets, watching her swaying skirt hem with an indulgent smile.

I don’t ask for the next life, just this one!

Just let us be together, safe and sound, for a lifetime. That’s enough.

...

Gu Xiaoxi was brought into the International Alliance’s temporary base in Yatang City by Jing Rui.

"Coming here, have you noticed anything unusual?" Jing Rui asked as they walked.

Gu Xiaoxi was puzzled, "I’ve just arrived, didn’t pay much attention. But from the street at the entrance, it was clearly desolate. Hardly five people were walking on the street."

You should know that the temporary base of the International Alliance is located on the most bustling Financial Street.

The surrounding lands are worth their weight in gold; trading buildings are rented out at sky-high prices.

At this time, there wasn’t a single person on the street.

"So, you should know how severe the rat problem in Yatang City is," Jing Rui said. At the same time, she led Gu Xiaoxi quickly into the elevator.

The elevator soon stopped on the twentieth floor; she led her out of the elevator, heading straight for the conference room.

In the conference room, nine people sat.

Apart from Yun Xiao, Jing Haoran, Tang Yisheng, and Che Junqing, there were also Willy, Danmai, Jason, Kang Wei, and Mei Lin.

Willy and Danmai were from Southern State Country.

Jason was from Da State.

Kang Di was from Da State.

Mei Lin was from Xuan State.

These were all people who had fought to the end with them in the previous big battles.

They were also the ones who survived when faced with desperate situations.
