Chapter 1828: Jing Tengâs Original Body
âDonât worry, that brat is even more clever and quick-witted than a ghost. Heâll be fine,â Yan Xuehen said. Despite that, she was also a bit nervous.
âBut that Ghost King is just too strong! Besides, there seem to be many monsters hiding in this great tomb, making it incredibly dangerousâ¦â Chu Chuyan said worriedly.
âDonât worry. Itâs not as if he hasnât encountered even stronger beings before,â Yun Jianyue said. It wasnât only to console Chu Chuyan, but also her own disciple.
Yan Xuehen couldn't help but sigh in relief when she heard Yun Jianyue speak up too, thinking, Looks like my judgment wasnât wrong.
âExactly, and with the help of Miss Jing who is so familiar with this great tomb, it should be okay,â Pei Mianman added.
The women all became quieter when Jing Teng was mentioned. Then, they flocked around Qiu Honglei again and asked her questions.
âIs that Miss Jing really a vine fiend?â
âIsnât she just a bit too close to Immortal Ruler Baopu? It doesnât seem as if she was enlightened in passing by him!â
âAlso, doesnât she know a bit too much about this tomb? Sheâs not like some random vine fiend at all.â
â¦
The more they discussed things with each other, the more they felt that there was something wrong, and yet they couldn't really come to a conclusion. In the end, they could only try to find out about how she and Zu An had met in the first place. They all stared at Qiu Honglei, because she was the one who had spent the most time with Jing Teng in this world.
When she saw all the other women look at her as if she were a little good-for-nothing, Qiu Honglei felt quite sullen too.
I donât know eitherâ¦
Jing Teng and Zu An clearly hadnât exchanged many words along the way, and the two of them had behaved quite normally; even calling them friends would have been a stretch. Why had they suddenly become lovers?
âEither way, thereâs nothing to do now but to wait, so tell us a bit about everything youâve experienced along the way. Letâs join hands and try to see if there were any parts that you might have overlooked,â Pei Mianman said with a smile.
âHow senseless,â Yan Xuehen said, stepping away to one side as if she didnât want to join in such gossip.
The other women were full of admiration.
As expected of Sect Master Yan! Sheâs like a goddess of ice, standing aloof from the rest of the world.
But how could they know that Yan Xuehenâs ears were perked up and she was secretly listening to everything they did?
Meanwhile, Qiu Honglei was feeling helpless and irritated.
This big-boobed girl really is treating me as trash!
However, she was also curious about how those two had ended up together, so she could only recount everything they had gone through after she and Zu An arrived in this world.
â¦
The women were all perplexed after listening to her account. The two really had acted completely normally! Why had their relationship suddenly reached the level of sweethearts?
A weak voice asked just then, âCould it be that something happened in that ghost manor? Big sister Qiu and big brother Zu were together the entire time, so thereâs no way he would do anything in front of you. That was the only period where the two of you were separated, and Miss Jing wasnât near you at the time either.â
The other womenâs eyes immediately brightened and they concurred, âThat is the most likely case.â They all looked at Xie Daoyun and added, âWe didnât expect Miss Xie to be so bright. No wonder you were able to comprehend the most profound runes after joining the academyâs rear mountain.â
Xie Daoyun blushed and replied, âBig sisters are also really smart; itâs just that itâs harder to see these things while being caught up in the situation.â
The womenâs moods finally improved a bit. Otherwise, they were all proud of their aptitudes and highly intelligent, so losing to a younger woman here would look a bit bad.
Wait, itâs one thing if we canât see the situation since weâre all part of this mess, but what is going on with Sect Master Yun?
Yan Xuehen hadnât joined in from the start, so no one had thought about her too much, but Yun Jianyue had been enthusiastically helping them discuss the situation.
When she saw their suspicious looks, Yun Jianyue was a bit alarmed. However, she had experienced all sorts of crazy situations and immediately asked, âDo you think that Jing Teng is seducing that brat Zu An?â
âI donât think so,â Chu Chuyan said with a frown. Even though they hadnât spent that much time together, that Miss Jing seemed quite icy and arrogant.
âWhy not? That Jing womanâs body is full of strangeness, and that brat Zu An is so perverted. The two of them might just be doing something thatâs letting all of you down,â Yun Jianyue said with a smile, as if she wished for the whole world to be cast into chaos.
â¦
Achoo!
Zu An, who was on the lowest floor, sneezed. Jing Teng was curled up in his arms like a rabbit, her entire body gentle and delicate. She asked, âBig brother Zu, is it cold for you?â
Zu An gently caressed her skin that was heating up like a boiled egg, replying, âYour body is so warm; how could I be cold?â
âYouâre so annoying. Big brother Zu is so badâ¦â Jing Teng protested playfully.
She normally sounded more like a strong and powerful older sister, but now, her voice was as sweet as a young maidenâs. For Zu An, it was as if he were a soldier on the battlefield roused once more by the sound of war drums. He immediately launched another assault.
âMmmâ¦â Jing Teng groaned with a frown. Her body shook intensely, and tears flickered at the corners of her eyes.
âIâve caused you pain. Iâm sorryâ¦â Zu An quickly apologized. In that instant, he was caught off guard.
Jing Teng giggled when she saw his nervousness, replying, âIt did hurt in the beginning, but later onâ¦â She trailed off, her face a bit red. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gently said, âI never imagined that becoming a person would bring so much bliss.â
Zu An was startled. How could he possibly still hold himself back?
â¦
After an unknown amount of time had passed, the two of them were completely wrapped around each other. Zu An was startled to sense a trace of spiritual light coming out of Jing Tengâs body.
Just then, a notification sound from the Keyboard System played in Zu Anâs mind.
Baopu Sutra detected. Would you like to integrate this skill?
A keyboard image appeared before Zu Anâs eyes. The F6 key flickered, and the trace of light floated above it. He could see that it was in the shape of a book.
Zu An didnât immediately integrate the skill; instead, he looked at Jing Teng and asked, âWhat just happened?â
âThatâs the true Baopu Sutra, of course,â Jing Teng said, her face completely red. She was as meek as a kitten.
âWhy was it with you, and why are you giving it to me?â Zu An asked. Even though he already knew what kind of thing it was, he was still incredibly shocked.
âI was really close to Immortal Ruler Baopu, and he couldn't find a successor in time and was about to leave. That was why he asked me to entrust this item to someone,â Jing Teng began. âAs for why I gave it to youâ¦â she continued with a sigh. Her eyes were full of emotions as she continued, âIâve even given myself to you, so what canât I give you?â
Zu An couldn't help but pull her close, asking, âArenât you worried that I might have approached you with ulterior motives?â
âI was really upset that Zang Ao tricked me in the past, but if Iâve been fooled by youâ¦â Jing Teng began as she sat up, letting her black hair fall down. She looked calmly at him, then said with a sweet smile, âI would still accept it willingly.â
Zu An felt something stir powerfully within him. He hugged her and kissed her again.
Jing Teng cried out in alarm and hurriedly begged him, âBig brother Zu, I really canât take any moreâ¦â
Zu An let her go with a smile, saying, âIâm not someone who doesnât know whatâs important.â
Jing Tengâs face was red from ear to ear. She thought, This guy looks like a refined and gentle scholar on the outside, but heâs actually like a freaking camel!
Zu An cried out in surprise, âI canât sense the pressure anymore!â
He had felt as if he were about to be crushed, but now, even a long time after they kissed, he couldn't feel that terrifying pressure anymore.
âSilly big brother, didnât I already tell you that as long as your aura harmonized with mine, you wouldnât be in danger?â Jing Teng replied, her finger gently brushing past his cheek. Her expression was a mix of joy and unwillingness to part.
Zu An held her wonderful body close to him while helping her move her beautiful hair, which was damp with sweat, behind her ears. He asked, âCan you tell me what is going on now?â
Jing Teng sighed and replied, âDoes big brother Zu still remember why you brought me here to the great tomb?â
âTo search for your original body, right?â Zu An answered, looking around. He wanted to see what her original body was.
Either way, heâd already had experience with fiends, foxes, snakes, and all sorts of other creatures. As long as Jing Tengâs original body wasnât too ridiculous, he wouldnât be that frightened at all.
However, he suddenly recalled the monsters he had encountered along the way. They really were all ugly and disgusting things. His expression stiffened.
No, Jing Teng is so pretty. Sheâs definitely not a disgusting monster like that.
Jing Teng suddenly smiled and said, âBig brother Zu must be worried that my original body is an ugly and disgusting monster, right?â
Zu Anâs face heated up. He lowered his head and kissed her, saying, âDonât worry. Since weâre already together, I can accept it no matter what your original form is like.â
âReally? What if its entire body is covered in eyes like that floor, or thereâs slime covering its entire bodyâ¦â Jing Teng began, causing Zu Anâs face to pale a bit as he listened to her. She watched his expression closely. When she saw that, her body rocked back and forth with laughter. She then said, âAlright, alright, I wonât mess with you anymore. That is my original body.â
Then, she pointed at a certain place. Zu An followed her finger and looked in that direction. He was stunned to see that apart from a sky full of stars, there was nothing else.
When she saw his confused look, Jing Teng moved closer into his embrace and said, âOver there. Follow that direction.â
Zu An finally saw what she was pointing at under her lead. There was a talisman at the very center of the constellations, and it had a deep crack in it. His expression changed as he asked, âThat talisman is your original body?â
