Chapter 1171: Jadeite City (2)

Feeling the growth of her source of life, Shen Yanxiao felt comfortable in both body and mind. The source of life that had just sprouted had unknowingly grown into a small sapling. On the thin branches, the tender green leaves looked exceptionally adorable.

Shen Yanxiao immersed herself in her spiritual world and sighed as she looked at the slowly growing source of life. Xiu was standing behind the source of life. He was dressed in white, had a pair of golden eyes and long black hair. Under the green glow of the source of life, he was so handsome that it was shocking.

“The growth of your source of life is faster than I expected. If nothing goes wrong, you should be able to break the second seal before you enter the advanced training camp in seven days.” Xiu raised his slender fingers and caressed the small green leaf.

It was only a slight touch, but Shen Yanxiao felt a series of waves deep down, as if that little sapling was her.

“So soon? In that case, won’t I be able to undo the seal soon?” Shen Yanxiao suppressed her internal fluctuations and focused her attention on ‘serious business’.

Xiu shook his head.

“Have you forgotten that when you were still a human, the speed of unlocking your seals would slow down the further you go? The first four layers of the seal are relatively weaker. After the fifth layer is the key. How long you take to undo the last three layers is the key to when you can return to the Brilliance Continent.”

Shen Yanxiao blinked and felt depressed.

She was still wondering if she could shorten the time of her return to half a year.

“Then I’ll continue with my training.” Shen Yanxiao shrugged her shoulders and washed away the depressed feeling.

An imperceptible smile flashed past Xiu’s eyes and his slender figure transformed into a streak of light as he suddenly appeared before Shen Yanxiao.

The handsome face in front of her made Shen Yanxiao’s heartbeat stop for a moment.

“When you do things to the extreme, it will usually have the opposite effect. Only with proper rest can the source of life achieve the greatest growth.” Xiu could tell that the little girl was eager to grow.

“Erm…” Shen Yanxiao looked up at Xiu’s sharp jaw. It was clearly an emotionless warning, but it somehow warmed her heart.

Thinking back to those days when Xiu trained her like a Spartan, he now actually told her not to be so anxious?

‘Is it going to rain? Or… is Lord Xiu unwell?’

Shen Yanxiao subconsciously forgot that she and Xiu were only in their soul state. Instinctively, she raised her hand and touched Xiu’s forehead.

The empty feeling under her fingertips made Shen Yanxiao feel a sense of loss.

Xiu looked at Shen Yanxiao’s raised hand in doubt before a trace of amus.e.m.e.nt surfaced in his golden eyes.

Shen Yanxiao’s movements stiffened and she quietly retracted her claws.

“It’s nothing… I’ll go out and stroll around…” Shen Yanxiao blushed and immediately dispersed.

She sat in the room depressingly and despised her brain for the hundredth time.

Why couldn’t her mind stop spinning the moment she saw Xiu?

She wanted to measure the temperature of a soul? Was she an idiot?

Would a soul fall sick?

Oh!

That was definitely not something she did!

Shen Yanxiao immediately stood up and decided to forget her previous actions. She wanted to take a stroll around Jadeite City.

Yue Xi once said that the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe was in Jadeite City, then…

Could her parents be here?

Thinking of that, Shen Yanxiao could not help but feel excited.
