Chapter 201 : Chapter 201 : Star Fruit Tree Appears (Fourth Update)
The room was pitch-black and offered no visibility, but the darkness gave Su Mingyue a sense of security. She took off her priest’s robe.
At this moment, Su Mingyue faintly heard a gulping sound coming from the opposite side, as if someone was drinking water.
“Lin Zhen, what are you doing?
“Ah… I’m not doing anything. Ming Yue, where are you? I can’t see anything.”
“Mmm, wait for me a bit, I’ll be ready soon.”
After a while, Lin Zhen changed into a white, loose-fitting nightgown made of soft material.
Lin Zhen lay there, and this time Su Mingyue snuggled up to him. She rested her head on Lin Zhen’s chest, who wrapped his arm around her and asked softly, “Yue’er, what about my reward?”
Su Mingyue hesitated a bit: “How about letting you kiss me?”
“Alright.” Lin Zhen slowly leaned in closer.
Su Mingyue nervously gripped Lin Zhen’s clothes, her body trembling slightly. She could feel Lin Zhen’s breath on her face, and she closed her eyes slowly, not daring to look into his eyes.
With a soft murmur like a kitten, Lin Zhen took several deep breaths and, with great resolve, let go of her hand.
He knew that what he had done now was the limit of what Su Mingyue could accept. If he pushed any further, she would definitely refuse.
Although Lin Zhen might have been able to deceive her, he didn’t want to do that.
Lin Zhen suddenly thought of something: “Yue’er, what level has your spiritual power reached?”
“Late Golden Stage.”
“Oh, when do you think you’ll reach the Dark Gold Stage?”
“If everything goes smoothly, maybe in three or four months.” Su Mingyue raised her head, her lips slightly swollen, not understanding why Lin Zhen asked.
Lin Zhen secretly nodded, and as expected, Su Mingyue was a genius. Even without consuming spiritual power fruit, her spiritual power was almost on par with his.
However, once she reached the Dark Gold Stage, she might harbor the thought of strangling him.
“Have you advanced to War God?” Su Mingyue asked Lin Zhen.
“Yeah, I have advanced, and I see that you have, too.”
“Yes, I was already on the verge when I left the Sky Dome. When I arrived here,
I immediately broke through, and now I am in the early third stage.” Su Mingyue adjusted her body and found a more comfortable position in Lin
Zhen’s arms.
Lin Zhen began to tell Su Mingyue about the battle situation in the Sky Dome, and finally mentioned that Yue Zhenhua was still outside, waiting for him to come out.
Su Mingyue nodded: “When day breaks, I’ll go with you.”
Although both of them had been rejected by the Star Fruit Tree, Lin Zhen didn’t want to leave immediately, and Su Mingyue didn’t seem to have the intention to leave either.
Flnally, Su Mingyue picked up the star-gazing mirror, looking somewhat unhappy.
“Lin Zhen, do you think there’s a way to fix it? I’ve had it since I was a child, and I would look at the stars with it when I’m bored. Besides, it’s also important for the God’s Grace Cathedral. If master finds out, he will be very upset. I… I don’t even dare to go back anymore.”
Lin Zhen took the star-gazing mirror from Su Mingyue’s hand. It was a high-grade auxiliary star artifact, incredibly precious and rare. Repairing it was not entirely impossible, but extremely difficult.
To fix a high-grade celestial device, one must first have a Star Realm Expert, with inherent star power and a thorough grasp of the repair method.
Lin Zhen understood the method of repair. In his previous life in the stars, he had spent countless bored years reading books and materials about the forging and repairing star artifacts. He even hoped to become a master of star artifact forging. His theoretical knowledge was already in place, but in his previous life, he had no chance to realize it.
However, after coming back to life, there were no opportunities or materials for forging and repairing star artifacts on Earth, and everyone knew nothing about it. Lin Zhen had no place to apply his knowledge.
The repair of this star-gazing mirror required not only a Star Realm Expert and professional knowledge but also an essential element – Star Energy Transfer!
It involved transferring the star power from other devices of the same grade into the damaged one. One transfer would restore one layer of energy, while the transferred device would be ruined.
After transferring ten times, the damaged device could be restored.
In simple terms, it would take ten high-grade star artifacts to restore one high-grade star artifact. If it were not for the particularly valuable artifact, this would be a losing business, and generally, star artifacts would not be worth it.
However, in Lin Zhen’s opinion, the star- gazing mirror was worth it.
But where could he find ten high-grade star artifacts? Lin Zhen had no idea.
Seeing the helpless look in the girl’s eyes, Lin Zhen held the star-gazing mirror in his palm. “Yue’er, rest assured, I will definitely fix this star artifact.”
“Really? Can it really be repaired?” Su Mingyue’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“It definitely can. I promise.”
Su Mingyue nodded: “I believe in your promise.”
Lin Zhen was a little embarrassed. Once Su Mingyue advanced her spiritual power to the Dark Gold Stage and discovered the Dark Gold Rank Spiritual Mind Master’s night vision ability, would she still trust his promise?
The two whispered and laughed softly from time to time. A night had quietly passed.
Lin Zhen, who had only slept for an hour, woke up at daybreak. He looked at Ming Yue curled up in his arms and couldn’t help but kiss her. Su Mingyue opened her eyes.
“We should go.”
“Yeah, staying near this Star Fruit Tree’s repelling force is too uncomfortable.”
After tidying their clothes, Lin Zhen took back his liquid metal. Su Mingyue glanced at their little hideout with some reluctance. “I may never come back here again, but I’ll always remember this place. It’s peaceful and comforting to be here.”
“Hehe, let’s go, Yue’er. The place isn’t that important. What’s important are the
people. When you feel down, you can think of me more often.”
“Okay, when I think of you, I feel at ease too.”
“That’s right. From now on, you will always have me, no matter what. I am your family, and you are no longer a homeless person. Wherever your heart is at peace, that is your hometown.”
Su Mingyue laughed, and suddenly stepped onto the shield, flying up into the sky. She looked back and smiled, “You just wanted to say you’re my family. So what are you to me?”
“Of course I am your ….”
“I don’t want to hear it now. Catch up with me first!” Su Mingyue turned around and sped away in a flash.
Lin Zhen’s liquid metal also transformed into a shield. Although his absolute speed was faster than Su Mingyue’s, he wouldn’t leave her behind. The two of them raced out of the Star Fruit Tree’s vicinity side by side.
As the tree shadows whizzed by, they arrived at Lake Heart Tree within an hour.
“The platform is up ahead, Yue Zhenhua is still waiting there. We may have to fight.”
Su Mingyue nodded, showing no fear. Her tenderness would only be revealed in front of Lin Zhen. Most of the time, she was a martial artist and a determined and focused one.
Side by side, the two flew from Lake Heart Tree toward the platform.
One day and one night had passed, and at this moment, there were still many people on the platform. Most of them had not left, and Yue Zhenhua had been sitting there all the time, sending people to carry away Yue Feng’s body only. He vowed to avenge Yue Feng.
Guo MO was getting anxious, as the Great Divine Sect Ye Lanshan had been sent to fetch had not appeared yet for some unknown reason.
Seeing Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue rushing over, someone reminded them,
“Master, Lin Zhen is coming out.”
Yue Zhenhua opened his bloodshot eyes, stood up vigorously, and said, “It’s about time! Feng’er, watch your father avenge you!”
