Chapter 1612 - 823: Seven Heavenly Treasures
...
Facing Yin Che’s inquiry, the girl’s complexion and gaze didn’t shift, as if she hadn’t heard him at all. But after a moment, she still answered Yun Che’s question. She moved her pink and soft lips, murmuring a cold word: Jasmine.
Jasmine? Yun Che smiled, gazing with sincere admiration: Jasmine is lovely and petite, with a rich fragrance and flawless white. This name really suits you.
"Flawless white?" The girl’s complexion slowly faded, her lips slightly curled and tilted, forming a cold angle. At that moment, a cool breeze blew by, causing her scarlet hair to flutter in the air. A jade-colored leaf drifted with the wind and was caught by the girl: "I am Jasmine, dyed red with blood!"
As the girl relaxed her grip, the previously whole leaf now became a pile of tiny fragments, drifting away with the wind.
Yin Che’s heart experienced a coldness it had never known before, freezing to the core.
These tiny fragments scattered with the wind, and as some flew towards the girl’s body, a sinister and terrifying scene appeared before Yin Che. When these fragments touched the girl’s body, they didn’t actually attach to her but passed straight through and scattered behind her.
What is this? Don’t tell me, this girl’s body is actually ethereal?
No! If she is ethereal, then how could she pick up a short knife or just grab that falling leaf? Can she touch things at will, but not be touched by others? A Half-Etheric Body?
Your question, this Princess has answered. Now it’s time to answer this Princess’s question. Jasmine’s black gemstone-like eyes stared straight into Yun Che’s. However, the impeccable, captivating gaze was like a sharp knife, piercing deep into his heart and soul: "Where in the world did you obtain the Sky Poison Pearl!"
My master passed it on to me. But he has already died, and I also don’t know where he acquired the Sky Poison Pearl. Faced with this girl’s diamond-like clear gaze, he was scared, not daring to lie even half a sentence. So he simply answered with the truth. Because in this situation, the truth might be of no value to her anyway.
The girl stared into his eyes for a full three seconds, then finally showed some fluctuation. She spoke clearly in a cold tone that shouldn’t belong to a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl: "Sky Poison Pearl, ranked fifth among the Seven Heavenly Treasures, with unlimited internal space, able to resist all poisons and refine all ingredients. When it appeared thirteen hundred years ago, the whole world was in turmoil to obtain it, and then it disappeared without a trace. I never expected it to actually be deeply embedded into someone’s veins! Even merged with your body! How ridiculous. I don’t know if the Sky Poison Pearl has lost its spirit, or if its Spirit has gone completely insane!"
Seven Heavenly Treasures. Ranked fifth?
The girl’s forehead suddenly sank like the waning moon, a wave of icy murder intent solidified and encaged Yun Che’s body: if the Sky Poison Pearl could even fuse with garbage like you, there’s no reason it shouldn’t merge with this Princess!
Hiss!
A cold wind blew towards Yue Che, violently crashing his back against the trunk behind him, without even a chance to react. The girl’s murderously intense, captivating face was now only a foot away, her left hand tightly gripping his throat,
"You..." Yun Che opened his eyes wide, his face quickly turning hideous under the strangling suffocation.
"I’m giving you two choices...." The girl’s absolutely stunning features now filled with a terrifying light, each word of her gentle voice sending chills down his spine: "Your first choice, obediently hand over the Sky Poison Pearl to this Princess. The other is, this Princess will take the Sky Poison Pearl from your corpse after I take your life!"
Even though the girl’s hand was undoubtedly as soft as jade, it stiffened his throat, leaving him unable to move, wretched in pain. However, there wasn’t even a trace of fear or panic on his face; instead, he blandly spoke in his weak and hoarse voice: "I’d choose the second option, go ahead and kill me now."
The girl widened her adorable eyes, then coldly laughed: "Do you think I *wouldn’t dare?
As she spoke, her fingers suddenly tightened. Five terrifying trickles of blood instantly appeared on Yun Che’s neck, his complexion growing even more painfully grim. But he raised his lips, grinning with a ghastly pale face: "If you truly want me dead." Just now... despite the risk of poison backlash, you didn’t even save me!
Jasmine:
Yun Che stared into her eyes, continuing to contort his face: "You’ve been struck by a strange poison, but this poison not only affects your body, it poisons your soul! That night, your body already dissipated in front of me, leaving only a soul tormented by this severe poison. The body you have now is no more than a semi-physical body spawned from the blood you forcefully drew from me the day before, while also drawing power from the Sky Poison Pearl that fused with me! This means, my life is your life too! If you die, it wouldn’t affect me at all. But if I die, you’d die with me instantly!"
