Chapter 6: Lightning Fire and the Godly Heartwood
Zi Shang’s hot breath caressed Ye Jiuge’s earlobe, delicate as jade. Immediately, it became as red as the red plum flowers that bloom in the snow. His eyes darkened; he could not help but lick it once.
Ye Jiuge felt her goosebumps rise. Without any reservations, she pushed Zi Shang’s head away and said coldly, “Tell me, what do you really want? Otherwise, I will never cultivate these techniques!”
Although the techniques were excellent, she was afraid that she could not pay the price for them. Zi Shang did not seem like someone who was generous. Already, it was odd that he had saved her. Now, he wanted to help her become stronger. If he told her that he did not have any hidden intentions, she would not believe him.
“If you don’t cultivate using these techniques, you will die!”
Zi Shang smiled lazily. His expression implied that it was up to her. The slender tip of his tail was still coiled around her small waist.
“Alright, I will practice them!”
Ye Jiuge gritted her teeth as she slapped the flirtatious tip of his tail away.
She was well aware of her body’s condition. On the surface, it appeared that she had completely healed from her wounds, but inside, her body was riddled with problems. She could die at any moment!
Her grandfather was the family member closest to her. She could not die before completing her investigation into his whereabouts.
