Chapter 256 - 241: Humming Smile as Red Robes Fade 2
Xie Lian instantly grabbed hold of him, demanding in alarm, "San Lang?! What's going on?"
Hua Cheng was still considerably at ease and replied, "It's nothing. I've just overdone it a little."
Xie Lian was dumbfounded, "...Why didn't you tell me this sooner, how can this be nothing??"
It's the spiritual powers, it was all those spiritual powers!
When Hua Cheng transferred spiritual power to Xie Lian, it had always been as if it was an infinite source, endlessly all for his taking, smiling cheerfully like it was never a burden. But, it wasn't like his own spiritual power was a mountain of sand carried in by the rolling waves, so how could it actually be infinite and endless?
This couldn't be blamed on Hua Cheng for not saying anything sooner at all, but on Xie Lian himself who hadn't realized this sooner. Xie Lian was both panicking and feeling remorseful, "I'll return it to you."
He cupped Hua Cheng's face and kissed. Feng Xin and Mu Qing had originally planned on coming over, but when they saw this scene, they instantly pulled back dozens of feet away, keeping their distance, letting the two of them do what they needed themselves.
The cursed shackles were removed, so he desperately tried to transfer all the spiritual power he could muster to Hua Cheng, hoping he'd recover soon. But, after kissing him for a good while, when he let go, the sleeves of Hua Cheng's red robes and that pair of silver vambraces were still translucent, half transparent even!
Xie Lian was shaken for a long while, fear overtaking his mind, and he subconsciously reached for Hua Cheng's face, cupping it ready to kiss again when Hua Cheng, swift with his hands, cradled his instead and gave him a small peck, smiling, "Although I'm happy gege is so forward, but there's still no need to give me any spiritual powers anymore. But, if gege isn't just lending spiritual powers and just simply wanted to kiss me, I don't mind at all. In fact, the more the better, I welcome it with open arms."
"..."
Xie Lian gripped him tightly, on the brink of falling apart, "What's going on?"
