Chapter 664: Chapter 666: This is Lin Zhen’s Little Tree (Third Update)
Lin Zhen’s days of suffering and seduction didn’t last long.
He knew that this situation was only temporary because it happened so suddenly, and once they reached a safe place, the relationship between the two might change again.
However, he still hoped to end this state sooner because if it continued, neither of them could withstand it for long.
It was probably three or four days later that an opportunity arose.
The Spatial Turbulence was a dangerous place, but also a wondrous one.
There was no distance in time and space here; it might exist forever, or in the next second, you might be in an unknown world.
This time, thanks to Ning Qingxuan, who tried to avoid embarrassment by focusing on other things, she saw a black dot wandering towards them when Lin Zhen released his Star Power!
As a Longevity Warrior, she could clearly feel the Spatial Power contained within!
It was a Spatial Fragment!
If they got close to this Spatial Fragment, they might end up in a different place, but wherever they went, it would be better than being in this boundless Spatial Rift.
“Go there!”
With Ning Qingxuan’s reminder, Lin Zhen’s eyes lit up, and the two of them began to use their remaining Star Power to move forward through the Space Storm.
Fame does not come without effort. When they were almost exhausted from the journey, they finally reached the side of the black dot.
They both leaped with all their might, and the next thing they knew, they were in another space!
Their surroundings were changing, and the next second, they both fell to the ground.
Lin Zhen raised his head and looked around.
This was not a very large space, with a diameter of about a few hundred meters, and at the center of this space was a small hill.
Atop the hill, there seemed to be a light source, preventing the space from being too dark.
Ning Qingxuan finally got some relief and moved away from Lin Zhen as if avoiding a plague. She stood up and swept the entire space with her powerful Spiritual Power.
“This is a broken space. I don’t know where it belongs. There are only the two of us as living beings.”
Lin Zhen, who had already passed his Weak Period from taking the Divine Power Pills, stood up and looked around for a while: “That’s not necessarily true. Plants also count as life forms.”
Ning Qingxuan’s gaze fell on Lin Zhen, as her eyes revealed a hint of complexity.
“Crown Princess, we are both in distress now, like two grasshoppers on the same string. Are you still determined to kill me?”
Ning Qingxuan didn’t let Lin Zhen off with his words; she slowly put her palm on her sword: “You tell me first, who are you? Are you Lin Zhen or Hua Hua Taisui?”
Lin Zhen knew that if he fought Ning Qingxuan in this space, he would definitely not be her opponent. So he didn’t resist and just stood there calmly: “I have wanted to tell you this for a long time, but you never gave me the opportunity. I am Lin Zhen, not Hua Hua Taisui.”
“You’re lying! Lin Zhen is your Avatar, and your real body is Hua Hua Taisui, right?”
Lin Zhen quickly shook his head: “Absolutely not. In fact, Hua Hua Taisui is already dead. His body was turned into my Avatar. Crown Princess, I know Hua Hua Taisui has done some unforgivable things, but you can’t hold me responsible for that. In a way, I have helped you avenge yourself.”
“You killed Hua Hua Taisui?” Ning Qingxuan hesitated for a moment, not expecting this outcome.
“Of course. You are a Longevity Warrior, with vast powers. You can carefully sense who is the Avatar and who is the real body between us. ”
So saying, Lin Zhen brought out Hua Hua Taisui’s Avatar and stood side by side with it.
After removing his thoughts completely from Hua Hua Taisui’s Avatar, Hua Hua Taisui, who lost his soul, became a wooden stake, standing there blankly and motionless.
Ning Qingxuan’s Spiritual Power swept over and immediately distinguished between the real and the fake.
Lin Zhen quickly put away his Avatar, worrying that Ning Qingxuan would impulsively slaughter the Avatar, which would cost him a great helper and a source of Star Power.
Without the Avatar, Lin Zhen wouldn’t stand a chance against Ning Qingxuan.
Ning Qingxuan stood for a while, and Lin Zhen felt that her killing intent had diminished. His heart became a little more at ease
“Even if you’re not Hua Hua Taisui, you…in the bathhouse… ”
Lin Zhen hurriedly explained: “Crown Princess, you can’t entirely blame me for that, can you? You didn’t give me a chance, and you just started yelling and fighting as soon as you saw me. Isn’t it unfair to only allow you to attack me and not allow me to fight back? Killing people in a martial arts fight is very common; my methods couldn’t be considered too excessive.”
Upon hearing Lin Zhen’s rebuttal, Ning Qingxuan realized her actions were somewhat impulsive.
She’s not an unreasonable person, and besides, Lin Zhen had saved her once before.
Letting go of her sword, Ning Qingxuan said to Lin Zhen: “You killed Hua Hua Taisui and saved me once, but you also humiliated me twice. Let’s consider our debts and grievances settled. From now on, we shall have no further contact!”
With that, Ning Qingxuan turned and walked away, heading straight for the top of the hill.
Lin Zhen shrugged his shoulders. He could see that Ning Qingxuan was still somewhat angry with him, but as long as she didn’t call for his death, at least he would be safe.
Lin Zhen looked around and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Seeing the radiant light on the mountaintop, Lin Zhen tidied up his somewhat messy clothes and followed the Crown Princess to the top of the mountain.
The surrounding space was shrouded in a misty haze, with only a bit of brightness at the top of the mountain.
Atop the mountain, a tree grew.
The tree was not very big, about five or six meters tall, but it had already reached the top of the space and could not grow any further, with a thickness less than one person.
It could also be said that it wasn’t as thick as Lin Zhen, but it was definitely thicker than Ning Qingxuan.
As the two stood beneath the tree, they looked up at its top, where the bright light was coming from.
The tree was densely covered with brilliant flowers.
Above those flowers, egg-sized Star Crystals with a dazzling glow floated slightly. Amidst the darkness, they appeared so beautiful that they seemed almost unreal.
“Wow! What kind of flowers are these? They’re so beautiful!”
Ning Qingxuan’s first concern was, surprisingly, the flowers, which left Lin Zhen somewhat speechless.
However, her attention soon shifted to the Star Crystals.
With her stunning face close to the Star Crystals, Ning Qingxuan carefully observed them for a while, then slowly said, “Born from the essence of heaven and earth, nourished by the spiritual qi of space, these star-like fruits possess extraordinary power.”
Lin Zhen arrived beneath the tree, pulled down a slightly curved branch, and looked closely.
Star Crystals were not new to Lin Zhen, as his Star Fruit Tree was covered with them.
However, the growth of those Star Crystals was limited, and they could only produce fruits that Constant Star Period Martial Artists could absorb. They were of no use to Lin Zhen, who had reached the Domain King level.
But the Star Crystals on this little tree were different. The ones densely packed here had stronger energy.
Within the smallest Star Crystals, there was Star Power comparable to that of Star System Stage Juyuan Powder!
These were for Star System Period Martial Artists to consume.
Some of the medium-sized ones contained Star Domain Stage Juyuan Powder’s Star Power, which could be used by Domain King level Martial Artists.
Even some larger ones held Star Realm Stage Juyuan Powder’s Star Power, suitable for World Kings to consume.
Aside from those three types, there were some large Star Crystals that held power that Lin Zhen had never seen before, which were for Longevity Warriors to consume!
Furthermore, some exceptionally large Star Crystals contained astonishing Star Power that even caught Lin Zhen off guard.
“These are true treasures. Each Star Crystal has the effect of an elixir, and these Star Crystals have absolutely no side effects. Consuming them is even more convenient than using elixirs. I can’t even imagine how much this tree’s Star Crystals are worth.”
Seeing the tree full of fruits, Lin Zhen’s heart was moved. He could not let this tree remain here. He needed to give it a better environment and move it to the Dark Star Space.
With this thing, he wouldn’t have to worry about not having elixirs in the future.
Thinking this, Lin Zhen stepped forward, wanting to pick a Star Crystal and see for himself.
However, at that moment, Ning Qingxuan suddenly stood in front of Lin Zhen: “What are you doing?”
“I want to pick a Star Crystal!” said Lin Zhen.
“That’s not allowed. I saw these things first. First come, first served. You should understand that rule, right? Have you asked for my permission as the owner?”
In Lin Zhen’s impression, Ning Qingxuan was a beautiful, yet rather stern and somewhat rigid woman. However, at this moment, he saw a hint of mischief in her beautiful eyes.
Ning Qingxuan was still angry at Lin Zhen because he had taken advantage of her. Although Lin Zhen had saved her, she couldn’t bring herself to attack him. Nevertheless, in this small space with just the two of them, her girlish nature was somewhat unleashed, and she wanted to give Lin Zhen a hard time to vent her anger.
Seeing this side of Ning Qingxuan, a hint of a smile appeared on Lin Zhen’s face. This version of the Crown Princess seemed much more lively.
However, Lin Zhen didn’t intend to let her get what she wanted easily and asked, “Crown Princess, are you sure that these things belong to whoever sees them first?”
“Yes, first come, first served. These are mine!” said Ning Qingxuan happily.
“Then, Crown Princess, please take a closer look. This tree is mine. You’d better not stand in my shade.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Ning Qingxuan looked back in confusion, following Lin Zhen’s pointing direction.
With one glance, she immediately wore an expression as if she’d seen a ghost.
She was a Longevity Warrior and a strong one at that. She had enough confidence to know that Lin Zhen couldn’t possibly pull any tricks under her watch.
Yet, on the trunk of that little tree, there was a line of somewhat blurred but still legible handwriting.
“Lin Zhen’s Little Tree!”
