Chapter 667: Chapter 669: Crown Princess’s Breakthrough Fails
Ning Qingxuan only thought Lin Zhen was bragging when she heard his words, and she was unable to grasp his deeper intentions. She aggressively attacked him with her longsword.
Lin Zhen decided not to let Ning Qingxuan succeed within ten seconds. He wielded his spear and defended himself as immovable like a mountain, and the two engaged rapidly like lightning.
Without using the Star Power Transfer and not consuming Divine Power Pills, Lin Zhen realized just how wide the gap between him and Ning Qingxuan was.
Her longsword knocked away Lin Zhen’s shattering spear with its first strike, and the second strike hit him directly in the waist.
In two moves, Lin Zhen was defeated, and not even one second had passed.
Ning Qingxuan fell flat on his back, her mood, which had been sowhat depressed these days, was completely released. She laughed heartily, “Oh dear! Weren’t you very powerful? You couldn’t handle it in just two moves…”
Lin Zhen lay on the ground with a headache, didn’t this Crown Princess know how provocative her words were to a man?
No, he had to hold out for three moves!
Like a spring, he bounced off the ground and the two engaged once again.
A Sword Light swept past in front of his eyes, and then he got a kick in the stomach. Lin Zhen was once again repelled.
Still just two moves!
Lin Zhen was extrely frustrated, while his 2.8 million Star Power couldn’t compare to Ning Qingxuan’s, couldn’t he hold out for three moves?
Let’s go again!
Within the shattered space, there was no concept of ti. Lin Zhen didn’t know how long they had been fighting. He was in a dire state, barely defending himself against Ning Qingxuan’s two sword strikes before stumbling from a hit!
“Phew! I’m so tired!”
Lin Zhen lay on the ground, his spear thrown to one side, panting heavily. This practice was a lot more exhausting than the actual battle.
However, he had made a little breakthrough. He could now hold out for three moves.
Ning Qingxuan was clearly also very tired. She sat next to Lin Zhen, and casually said, “Lin Zhen, I’m hungry.”
After saying this, she froze for a mont. When had she beco so comfortable around Lin Zhen?
“Alright, you eat so of this first, and then I’ll prepare so food for you.”
Lin Zhen stood up after taking a deep breath. He first went to the depression between the two small hills and directly lifted his hand. The gravity absorbed a large amount of soil into the Dark Star Space.
A hole one ter deep and five ters in diater was ford on the ground. Lin Zhen brought out a lot of fine sand from the Dark Star Space and completely filled the hole. Then, he created a pool by extracting a lot of water from the Void Mountain Spirit Spring from the Dark Star Space.
After thinking for a mont, he rummaged around in his Space Ring and brought out two large stones. He ignited them with Elixir Fire, turning them red-hot, and then buried them at the bottom of the pool.
The heat from below raised the pool’s temperature to that of a warm spring.
After setting this up, Lin Zhen prepared so toiletries and placed them by the pool. Then he called out to Ning Qingxuan, “Crown Princess, you go take a bath first. I’ve prepared a hot spring for you over there.”
Ning Qingxuan was fiddling with her hair at the mont, fretting over the harsh natural environnt here, which was a torture to a clean-loving girl. She never expected that Lin Zhen would have a hot spring prepared.
With a sense of curiosity, she went over to check it out, and Ning Qingxuan instantly fell in love with this little hot spring.
However, she was sowhat wary of Lin Zhen, still haunted by the fear of being live-stread in the bath by Hua Hua Taisui in the past.
Lin Zhen understood Ning Qingxuan’s feelings. Without waiting for her to react, he imdiately turned and left to prepare food under the nearby tree.
Ning Qingxuan, hesitating and suffering from upheaval on the inside, looked up. From Lin Zhen’s angle, he presumably couldn’t see her. A man was nearby, just ten ters away. Was she really supposed to undress and bathe here?
As an engaged woman and future queen, this seed inappropriate.
But then again, considering they would probably have to stay here for a long, long ti, should she abstain from bathing because of this? That would be even more unrealistic.
In the end, her love for cleanliness won out. Ning Qingxuan kept vigilant of Lin Zhen’s spirit, then gently shed her clothes, revealing her beautiful body that glowed like white jade, and slowly entered the hot spring.
Underneath another tree, Lin Zhen was humming so unknown song. Hearing him sing was rather pleasant. Ning Qingxuan slowly relaxed, closing her eyes slightly. It was a sowhat warm mont.
Lin Zhen never thought of peeping. Completely not wanting to look would be lying, but Ning Qingxuan was a Longevity Warrior, and her spiritual power was stronger than his own. Lin Zhen decisively chose not to degrade himself, as their peaceful coexistence was already a favorable situation, and he did not wish to disrupt it.
Today, Lin Zhen was preparing hot pot. His Space Ring contained a plethora of ingredients, and the diverse array of edible plants in the Dark Star Space added to his supplies. Now that marine creatures have started to appear within the ocean inside the space, he sent the giant peng bird to get so seafood. Coupled with the Spirit Spring Elixir Fire and a few Golden Pills dissolved in the water, the hot pot was incredibly delicious.
By the ti the hot pot was ready, Ning Qingxuan had finished her bath.
Dressed in a new soft, baby-blue cotton robe, Crown Princess’s hair was still dripping wet. As she moved, a floral scent wafted around her, giving off an ethereal aura.
“Please take a seat, my lady master, and have a taste of your disciple’s cooking skills.”
Ning Qingxuan was training Lin Zhen, naturally, she could be considered his master. Hearing Lin Zhen’s words, she gave him a little smile and then sat down.
As a Crown Princess, Ning Qingxuan had tasted many fine dishes, but none of them tasted as good as Lin Zhen’s cooking.
They ate a joyous al. Afterward, Lin Zhen said to Ning Qingxuan, “Crown Princess, you can rest under the tree here, I’m going to bathe over there.”
Ning Qingxuan nodded, she wouldn’t be able to return to where Lin Zhen was bathing.
The bright light in the sky gradually dimd. The light sphere Lin Zhen made had an automatic dimming and brightening effect, simulating day and night.
After a while, Lin Zhen returned. Instead of resting, he picked so Domain King-level Star Crystals and began cultivating under the tree.
“Crown Princess, I was joking before. The Star Crystals on this tree, if there’s sothing you need, feel free to pick and absorb at will.”
Ning Qingxuan didn’t refuse, she too was a Martial Artist and needed cultivation.
She smiled and said, “Well, you’re quite generous.”
Lin Zhen chuckled. “Crown Princess, you underestimate . We might be stuck together here forever. What do I have to skimp on with you? Anything you want, I can give it to you without batting an eye.”
His words caused Ning Qingxuan to pause, and she had a complex expression rembering how Lin Zhen had harassed her before but also saved her.
After a while, she broke the silence, “Lin Zhen, we can’t stay here forever.”
“Of course I want to leave too, but the question is, how do we leave?”
Ning Qingxuan thought for a mont, “I need to break through. If I successfully break through, I can forge a path through the Spatial Turbulence and return to the Original World.”
“Oh! How much ti do you need for the breakthrough? What are your odds?” Ning Qingxuan was already a Longevity Warrior, however, reaching the next realm might be challenging.
“Maybe a one in three chance, should take about a month.”
“And if you fail?”
If I fail… it is a secret thod breakthrough. My master told not to attempt it lightly. Failure will have so side effects, but I must try… I cannot stay here forever.”
“Then I wish you success.”
Lin Zhen had a rough idea of Ning Qingxuan’s thoughts. Although it was inappropriate for them to be together, she was desperate to get back to the Original World, despite her low chances of success.
However, Lin Zhen could not stop her from trying. It wasn’t his place to make decisions for Ning Qingxuan.
Ning Qingxuan’s temporary apprenticeship lasted only a day. the next day, she started making preparations for breakthrough and began to cultivate in earnest.
Lin Zhen was no idler either. After hearing so news about the City of Divine Punishnt from Ning Qingxuan, he also started to cultivate diligently.
There were many talented individuals in the vast universe, even now, Lin Zhen dared not claim invincibility at the Domain King realm, let alone among King Realm level fighters. He had a long way ahead.
Now Lin Zhen was at the Fourth Level of the King Domain. The dicinal properties of the Elixir he consud had not completely vanished and he couldn’t continue to take more Elixir.
However, he could use Star Crystals. There were quite a number of them here. Although not enough to sustain his cultivation to the peak of the Domain King realm, they would suffice for him to advance by two to three levels.
If Ning Qingxuan did succeed, he would transplant the little tree into the Dark Star Space. If she failed, with so Elixirs, Lin Zhen could at least advance to Seventh-level Domain King within two years.
As for leaving the space, Lin Zhen had so ideas too. But for now, everything depended on Ning Qingxuan’s success. If she failed, Lin Zhen had to prepare to take things into his own hands.
Each day was spent cultivating. The two picked and absorbed the Domain King Realm and Longevity Realm Star Crystals from the tree. Lin Zhen quickly advanced towards the Fifth-level Domain King realm.
Ning Qingxuan’s aura also grew stronger, signaling that her breakthrough was near.
Till an entire month later.
After absorbing five more Star Crystals, Lin Zhen reached the peak of the Fourth Level King Domain. He was confident that he would reach the Fifth-level Domain King within half a month’s ti.
anwhile, Ning Qingxuan, who had been cultivating under the tree continuously, started to emit powerful Star Energy. Starlight flashed constantly on her. Her breakthrough was imminent!
This was Lin Zhen’s first ti seeing a Longevity Warrior’s breakthrough, and the intense pressure made it hard for him to breathe.
However, Lin Zhen noticed that Ning Qingxuan’s montum seed to falter.
A secret thod breakthrough required everything to flow naturally. Ning Qingxuan’s current state was not ideal. Her eagerness to leave resulted in her potential downfall.
The breakthrough process lasted for an hour. At the critical point, Ning Qingxuan’s Star Energy was interrupted!
There was only a weak call, and then, Ning Qingxuan, who had looked godlike before, collapsed softly.
Lin Zhen, who had been prepared for this eventuality, rushed to her side, lifting the now unconscious Crown Princess in his arms.
She felt light, and Lin Zhen could not sense any Star Energy on her.
Failing the secret thod breakthrough, Ning Qingxuan seed to have lost all her power!
