Chapter 1090: A Lot of Progress

Looking at the two beautiful spirit stones, Xia Xibei was silent for a moment, then she reached out to pick up the smaller one.

When the spirit stone was in her hand, she felt both a cold and warm sensation, two contradictory feelings in the spirit stone.

She took a deep breath, “Look out for me.”

“Okay,” Qiao Yanjue nodded and sat quietly to the side.

Xia Xibei took a deep breath, then began to mobilize the power within herself, and the spirit stone began to glow.

Qiao Yanjue stared nervously from the side, not daring to blink.

He was afraid that Xia Xibei would have the same problem he had last night.

However, Xia Xibei’s situation was much better than his, and she did not react so intensely.

Xia Xibei’s absorption rate was also fast, and the color of the spirit stone was changing rapidly.

Half an hour pa.s.sed, and the size of the spirit stone was now very small.

When it was small enough, the color of the stone began to change from the previous green to transparent.

By the time Xia Xibei woke up, the spirit stone in her hand had already broken into crumbs.

Xia Xibei looked at the crumbs in her hand with astonishment.

“Oh my!” she couldn’t help but exclaim. “This is too fast!”

Her previous speed of absorbing spirit stones wasn’t this fast.

Moreover, her strength had increased a lot from before!

Her strength hadn’t changed much since a few months ago, so today’s improvement was huge!

Why?

Xia Xibei thought about it for a while and quickly figured out why.

Before this, her power had almost been emptied.

That was why the speed of absorption was so fast this time!

The reason why her power was emptied…

She glanced at Qiao Yanjue next to her.

Under her gaze, Qiao Yanjue instantly straightened his back and his expression was austere.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Xia Xibei shook her head with a complicated expression.

However, Qiao Yanjue stared at the spirit stone crumbs in her hand and asked, “Has your body changed?”

“There is progress,” Xia Xibei replied. “A lot of progress.”

“More progress than before?” Qiao Yanjue asked.

“Yes.”

Qiao Yanjue stared at Xia Xibei, making her uncomfortable.

“Why are you looking at me?”

Qiao Yanjue suddenly smiled, “I know why you’ve made such great progress.”

“Why?”

Xia Xibei looked at him, then had an ominous feeling.

Sure enough, the next second, Qiao Yanjue smiled, “Because of me.”

Looking at his smug expression, she felt her palm itch for a slap.

“Don’t you look at me like that!”

Qiao Yanjue looked innocent, “Isn’t it?”

He was gleeful.

“I think it’s because I consumed all your strength! That’s why you have so much room for improvement!”

The corners of Xia Xibei’s mouth twitched.

Although he had guessed right, how come she felt he deserved her scorn?!

Xia Xibei felt sad.

The cold and arrogant Master Jue of the past had become a completely different person!

Give her back her Master Jue!

“What are you thinking about?” Qiao Yanjue pounced again. “Thinking about me, right?”

Xia Xibei wanted to hit someone!

The two of them fooled around for a while, then slowly relaxed.

Looking at the last spirit stone, Xia Xibei thought for a while, “You do it. Let’s see your final strength.”

Qiao Yanjue nodded and took the largest spirit stone with a gloomy expression.

“Absorb it the way I taught you before.”

“Ok,” Qiao Yanjue nodded. He sat cross-legged on the bed, then began to absorb the spirit energy.

When everything calmed down, Xia Xibei looked conflicted once again.
