Chapter 508: Chapter 503: Ears are the Reverse Scale
Su Jing’s expression was cold, but her voice trembled slightly, “Thunder Beast…”
Just as Baili An was about to ask what a Thunder Beast was, a great force surged around him. Su Jing swung her arm, apparently preparing to fling him across.
Baili An frowned secretly, unwilling to comply.
Just now, she had used the Divine Weapon, Emotion Slayer, to forcefully split open a thunderbolt, and her body had already sustained severe damage. With this fling, she might not have enough strength left to even protect herself.
Baili An imdiately reached back to grasp Su Jing’s wrist, intending to hold her firmly.
However, Su Jing seed to have anticipated this. She vibrated her arm with Qi Force, shaking his hand away.
Baili An was already in the posture of being thrown out, his entire body horizontal in mid-air.
In the instant he was about to be flung away, he felt sowhat angry at her unreasonableness.
It was truly annoying.
Baili An prepared to mimic her earlier rude act of grabbing him by the back of the neck, but instead, he reached in the wrong direction and knocked down the veil from her head.
In a mont of desperation, Baili An didn’t think much. He just felt like he grabbed sothing extrely handy.
In the midst of thunder roars, Su Jing seed to emit a strange low moan, the hand that grabbed him trembled violently, and then suddenly loosened its grip.
Seeing that she finally cald down, Baili An breathed a sigh of relief and joyfully carried Su Jing, executing the Seven Ashes Steps and Divine Flash Technique with incredible speed. They zipped through the crack in the thunderbolt, fleeing out.
For the first half of the journey, it was Su Jing who led him rapidly darting through the Thunder Sea.
Now, it had changed to him carrying Su Jing as they crossed the sea.
With the wind whistling past, Su Jing’s cool and distant voice ca through, “Have you grabbed enough?”
Her voice seed to tremble slightly with anger.
Baili An was startled, turning back to look, his heart seized with fear, nearly jumping out of his throat.
Good heavens, he had inadvertently grabbed a pair of rabbit ears on Miss Jing’s head!
No wonder they felt so soft and comfortable to touch.
He knew, Su Jing’s Reverse Scales were few, and these rabbit ears were one of them.
She disliked having such a pair of ears and also disliked exposing them to others.
Not only had Baili An seen them, but he had also dragged a decent young lady behind him like pulling a radish.
No woman likes such an ungraceful posture.
Baili An swallowed hard and apologized, quickly letting go of her ears and instead embracing her waist, then stepped ten ters across.
Su Jing, who didn’t mind her waist being touched but wouldn’t allow her ears to be ssed with, touched her pinched rabbit ears, bit her thin lips, and looked at him with a mixed expression of resentnt and annoyance, “You learned the Divine Flash Technique and didn’t ntion it earlier?”
Baili An felt sowhat helpless, “I wanted to say it, but did you ladies give a chance to speak?”
“Who’s your lady,” Su Jing coldly glanced to the side, clearly unhappy.
“Alright, alright, Miss Su Jing.” Baili An lowered his head and glanced at her right hand, which was bleeding profusely. It seed she wouldn’t be able to wield a sword anyti soon.
Recalling the life-or-death mont just before, it wasn’t that she had abandoned him, the ‘burden,’ but had instead tried to push him out of danger, warming his heart.
“Does your hand hurt?”
As Su Jing was trying to conceal those rabbit ears into her dark hair, she calmly dropped her arms.
She snorted coldly, her ears erect, and said quietly, “Yes, it hurts a lot.”
Baili An looked puzzled.
If it hurts, it hurts, why the cold snort?
Moreover, in Baili An’s opinion, won Sword Immortals like her, usually proud and solitary, are generally very strong and spirited.
Despite severe injuries, they remain unflinched, showing no sign of fragility, and their words are as hard as stone, their faces tight with pain, insisting they feel nothing even if their fingers cramp.
How co her reaction was different?
She had all the traits of a proud and cold Sword Immortal, her calm deanor showed no trace of pain, yet verbally, she admitted pain more straightforwardly than anyone else…
“What are you staring at?” Su Jing said softly.
Baili An withdrew his gaze and laughed awkwardly, “Nothing, I was just thinking that Miss Su Jing… um, you’re quite a sincere person.”
Su Jing averted her head, her eyes and brows cold, “Being hurt naturally pains. I dislike those fools who obviously suffer excruciatingly but claim they’re fine, covering their festering wounds, unwilling to show them to others. Such lying and stubborn behavior is pointless.”
Barely, Baili An felt like she was insinuating sothing.
“Well, it’s also true, the child who whines gets the sweet.” At this mont, other than agreeing, what else could Baili An say?
Su Jing’s gaze suddenly beca deep and sorrowful, “Whining? Who are you talking about?”
Baili An truly couldn’t handle her way of thinking and surrendered, “, it’s . I’m whining, okay? I’m really scared of you.”
During their conversation, the thunder above in the sky was gradually about to dissipate, because they were also about to cross the sea.
Baili An was about to take the final step when sothing suddenly breached the sea. The person in his arms suddenly tensed up as if sothing massive was dragging her tightly.
Su Jing’s gaze turned sharply cold, and in an instant, she was unable to muster her strength, feeling an intense strangle on her lower leg.
Everything happened so abruptly that Baili An, who had been focused on dodging the lightning above, hadn’t noticed the danger lurking beneath the sea.
Both were suspended in mid-air with no fulcrum, forcibly being dragged into the sea.
Su Jing did not scream, but calmly slapped Baili An away, not waiting for him to catch up, the vines that burst from the sea dragged her down fiercely.
Baili An stood behind the path leading to the Mortal World; he couldn’t even clearly see what kind of expression Su Jing had when she fell into the sea as she had already disappeared on the surface.
He stood frozen.
At that mont, a hand suddenly patted him on the back of his head, “What are you daydreaming about? If you want to save soone, don’t hesitate!”
Unexpectedly, Yin Baishuang, who had already crossed the ten-mile Thunder Sea, hadn’t left but had been standing nearby waiting for them.
“That’s the vine of the sea demon. It fears neither water nor fire, nor lightning. The only way to deal with it is the edge of the Divine Weapon.”
Her expression was incredibly serious as she dropped those words and leaped into the sea without hesitation.
Her delicate, solitary figure was utterly beautiful.
Both her Emotion Slayer and Su Jing’s Divine Weapon were indeed Divine Weapons.
But both she and Su Jing were well aware that the world under the sea was far more terrifying and mysterious than the dangers above.
Yet she didn’t falter or hesitate, went alone to rescue the woman she had hated for two hundred years.
Watching her dive into the sea, Baili An thought that if Yin Baishuang hadn’t experienced that painful loss of a beloved one, she would probably be a gentle and ticulous person, as clean and fresh as the new rain.
Because, such a woman, worn by the years beyond recognition, still made people feel she was very good, very good; it was hard to imagine what her youth must have been like.
Baili An did not have a Divine Weapon, but he followed Yin Baishuang into that mysterious sea.
Since the journey involved three people, how could it be right unless all three left together, whole and unhard.
It was neither about gratitude nor resentnt, neither about love nor hatred.
Sotis, to kill or to save was just a matter of thought.
