Volume 1: The Human World: Phoenix Rising in Fire Chapter 157: Yellow Springs as a Guide (4)
"Why are you helping me like this?" Although his acupoints were pressed, he was still able to speak.
Hua Xi lowered his head, suddenly smiled, and said in a cold voice: "Why are you asking so many questions?"
"What do you want from me?"
"You? A poor prince, what can I get from you?" She chuckled.
After a pause, he said in a trembling voice, "My body."
Hua Xi's heart trembled suddenly. He raised his weak hand, slowly slid it across his cheek, and gently wiped away the sweat on his face.
"You know what? You are so beautiful that many people covet you, but..."
Hua Xi paused and looked at him seriously with clear eyes.
"The only one who can really hurt you is yourself. If there is light in your heart, you will not be swallowed by darkness."
Long Qianyue looked at her in a daze, with a hint of pain flashing across his face.
If there is light in your heart, you will not be swallowed by darkness.
Is it really that easy?
After Hua Xi finished speaking, he untied his acupoints and quickly withdrew.
Walking to the window, she glanced at the red plum blossoms in the vase, paused, and said.
"The plum blossom is noble and pure, yet it struggles to grow out of the bitter cold. I hope that one day, Your Highness can be like the red plum blossom on the tall branch, looking down upon the world!"
She climbed out of the window and disappeared in an instant.
"Struggling out from the bitter cold...the cold plum blossom on the tall branches..." Long Qianyue murmured, and after a long while he smiled softly.

As soon as Hua Xi returned to Luofengju , he fell down, closed his eyes tiredly, and wanted to have a good sleep.
Xiao Guizi popped her head out, and seeing how tired she was, she waved her little fists and massaged her back vigorously.
Although he tried his best, for Hua Xi, it was still worse than an itch.
Small things are small things, this gap is really innate.
She closed her eyes, and the spiritual power took her into the world of pure jade.
The spiritual power in her body was almost drained away, so there was no longer the green mist that used to permeate the pure jade.
Hua Xi couldn't help but be surprised. He walked around and looked around. Suddenly, he saw large patches of golden lotus in one place.
She squatted down, reached out and touched one of the flowers, and the golden lotus immediately withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Hua Xi quickly pulled his hand back . She was so delicate, would she die if touched?
"Master?" she called out, but no one responded in the quiet Jingyu.
Where did the Jade God go?
He is trapped in the Pure Jade, so he shouldn't leave, right?
"Master? Master?" Hua Xi walked around, shouting as he walked.
After shouting for a long time, I finally heard his lazy response.
"You came."
She's been here for almost ten minutes!
"Master, where have you been?" Hua Xi was very curious.
"I'm resting." There was indeed a hint of laziness in his voice, as if he had just woken up.
Hua Xi thought that it was probably around two or three o'clock in the middle of the night. Since she came so late, he must have rested.
She felt a little guilty. If she had known he was resting, she should not have come in to disturb him.
"I'm sorry, I was delayed by something. I ran all over the West Market to collect enough herbs for three days."
She quickly took out the medicine bag from her body.
"You're amazing to be able to collect so much in one day." Jade God praised her.
Hua Xi smiled embarrassedly and said, of course, she is really good at cheating and deceiving people.
