Chapter 230: A Farewell Kiss with Fu Xue

Fu Xue's favorability is at 100%, already meeting one of the binding conditions.

Currently, binding is still not possible.

One reason is that Lu Xun's cultivation hasn't yet broken through to the Six Realms.

Even without breaking through, Lu Xun still has a way to attempt binding.

That is, by relying on his own true ability to defeat three Six Realms cultivators, the system would then judge Lu Xun's strength as being at the Six Realms level.

But this is also difficult.

Lu Xun's immortal martial cultivation is still low; even if he exceeds the limit, it's hard to overcome a Six Realms cultivator when separated by two major realms.

His magical cultivation has reached the peak of the Five Realms, but unfortunately, magical power doesn't exceed the standard by much.

So, we can only wait until his magical cultivation breaks through to the Six Realms.

After breaking through to the Six Realms, there is still another difficulty in binding.

That is, both parties need intimate contact, at least a kiss, so that there is a medium or medium between them for the system to complete the binding smoothly.

From Ran Bing's perspective, it seems that kissing first is also feasible.

Lu Xun inexplicably feels that this requirement might be more of a ritualistic demand.

Otherwise, with favorability already at 100%, why can't they bind?

In short,

this damned ritualistic feeling.

Fu Xue is so aloof, and moreover she is Lu Xun's mentor; wanting to kiss her is no easy task.

Actually, if it weren't for Babala only being able to take one person away, Lu Xun's best choice would be to agree to let Fu Xue stay; then, after his magical cultivation breaks through, binding would be easy for Lu Xun.

With both of them in a life-and-death crisis, feelings can easily warm up, and Lu Xun can find an opportunity.

Now this is also fine.

Fu Xue staying would ultimately bring too many variables; she might become Lu Xun's weakness, exploited by the Ancient God.

"Lu brother, this is all the dark energy on my body, and there are also some sixth-grade spirit talismans inside; you take them all."

Protector Chen handed Lu Xun a storage bag.

Although he is a Six Realms cultivator, he addresses Lu Xun as brother.

Even if Lu Xun is extraordinarily talented, under normal circumstances he wouldn't be qualified to address him that way.

Evidently, Lu Xun's offer to stay in exchange for their departure earned Protector Chen's respect.

"Little brother, take this dark energy."

A Six Realms Immortal Cultivator likewise gave Lu Xun a storage bag.

"Lu brother, this is my..."

"And me."

Five Realms cultivators likewise each produced dark energy, handing it all over to Lu Xun.

After learning of Lu Xun's decision, these Five Realms cultivators each felt considerable admiration for him.

Such a mighty Ancient God, so powerful that Heavenly Dao itself closed the entrance to this Spirit Realm, yet Lu Xun chooses to stay, securing their departure.

How could they not admire him?

They cannot imagine how Lu Xun could possibly return.

Such an Ancient God—probably even the strongest beings on Lan Xing now can do nothing against it.

By staying, Lu Xun might never be able to leave.

Out of respect, these cultivators held nothing back, giving Lu Xun all the dark energy they carried, as well as any spirit talismans and other life-saving trump cards.

Their lives were given by Lu Xun; these trump cards, though precious, are precisely meant for saving lives.

"Thank you."

Lu Xun did not refuse and accepted them.

Although Babala still has a way, no one knows whether they can escape from under the Ancient God's nose.

Dark energy is naturally better in greater amounts.

"Little friend, I give you the Chasing Moon Sword; I hope it helps you."

Master Ge likewise handed Lu Xun a long sword.

"Thank you, senior."

Lu Xun took it, swinging it in his hand to make two sword flourishes.

The sword's quality is not bad; it is probably an eighth-grade long sword. Although not as sharp as a damaged holy weapon, it possesses complete sword techniques, and the flow of true qi is even smoother.

"Little friend, return soon; I'll be waiting for you in Celestial Mechanism City to share a drink."

Master Ge patted Lu Xun's shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation for Lu Xun.

"I will, senior."

Lu Xun promised.

"Who still has a Heavenly Dao Talisman?"

Fu Xue looked at the crowd.

"I still have one."

A Six Realms Immortal Cultivator said.

He is the Protector of Clear Void Academy, surnamed Yu, with cultivation at the mid-stage of Six Realms.

"Good."

Seeing that the Six Realms Immortal Cultivator still had a Heavenly Dao Talisman, Fu Xue took out her own Heavenly Dao Talisman, together with a large amount of dark energy, placed them into a storage bag, and handed it all to Lu Xun.

"Inside are also three eighth-grade spirit talismans—one for attack, one for defense, one for escape—and the Star Sea Vessel is also in there. After tomorrow, the Heavenly Dao Talisman will probably no longer be usable; if you wish to use a Heavenly Dao Talisman to return to Lan Xing, you must first leave this Spirit Realm..."

Fu Xue said via voice transmission.

"Okay, teacher."

Lu Xun took it.

"Friend, hurry up, the master's patience is limited."

At this moment, the god slave reminded.

"Everyone, you may go."

Lu Xun waved at everyone.

"Little brother, take care."

The Six Realms Immortal Cultivator, after speaking, activated the Heavenly Dao talisman.

The ten-thousand-meter-long miniature rainbow bridge reappeared, extending into the distance.

"Lu brother, you must come back."

"Little friend, wait for you to come back and drink~"

Everyone bid farewell to Lu Xun and stepped onto the miniature rainbow bridge.

This time,

The Ancient God did not stop again.

"Teacher, after returning, don't tell Chu Youqing and Murong Wan about this; just say I'm in seclusion cultivating in a secret realm, let them cultivate well..."

"Please help me give this storage bag to them."

While the others were boarding the bridge, Lu Xun, however, began to instruct Fu Xue on some matters.

He feared that Chu Youqing and the others would worry if they found out.

"Okay."

Fu Xue agreed.

The others had already stepped onto the miniature rainbow bridge.

"Survive."

Fu Xue's cold eyes deeply gazed at Lu Xun, "I will find a way to save you!"

After speaking, she turned around, preparing to step onto the rainbow bridge to leave.

"Teacher, wait."

Lu Xun suddenly called out to stop her.

Fu Xue's footsteps paused, then she slowly turned around.

Her cold eyes, like autumn water, gazed over, but at the moment they met Lu Xun's gaze, they slightly froze.

Only Lu Xun stood there, his brow filled with an unprecedented seriousness, his eyes unusually deep, reflecting the starlight across the sky, flashing with a heart-pounding light.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down several times, his thin lips opened and closed a few times then pressed tight.

Finally, as if he had made some decision, he took a deep breath: "Teacher, may I have a farewell kiss?"

This sentence was like a stone dropped into a calm lake.

Fu Xue's pupils suddenly contracted, her long eyelashes lightly trembled.

She instinctively stepped back half a step; on her usually cold and composed face, a noticeable fluctuation appeared for the first time.

In those eyes that were always calm, the shock spread like ripples.

Fu Xue probably never imagined that Lu Xun would have such a request.

Lu Xun also had no choice; he spoke with gritted teeth.

Although Babila said she could take him away, the precondition was to stay away from the Ancient God.

If Lu Xun truly could help the Ancient God escape its predicament, how could the Ancient God not keep a close watch on Lu Xun?

If Lu Xun cannot help the Ancient God escape its predicament, then the problem is even greater.

The Ancient God is very likely not to keep Lu Xun.

You were toyed with by a mosquito; you might as well slap it to death to vent your anger.

So, Lu Xun is also unsure when he himself will be able to escape.

Only then can he think of ways to increase his strength.

Since the affection level has reached 100%, Lu Xun's best choice is naturally to first fulfill the prerequisite for the binding.

Thus, as long as his cultivation breaks through, he can naturally bind Fu Xue.

Kissing Fu Xue itself is already difficult.

Not taking advantage of this moment to make a request will make it even harder to find an opportunity later.

Fu Xue's side,

After her surprise, her cheeks visibly flushed crimson, spreading from the ears down to the neck.

If it were before, if Lu Xun dared to make such a frivolous request, Fu Xue would have already been angry.

But now, she not only did not get angry right away, she also subconsciously avoided, not daring to look at Lu Xun.

"Teacher, I was presumptuous..."

Seeing Fu Xue remain silent for a long time, the light in Lu Xun's eyes gradually dimmed; he forced a smile: "Time is short, you should leave quickly."

"Okay."

The two words, light as a mosquito's whisper, yet made Lu Xun feel as if struck by lightning.

He disbelievingly raised his head, only to see Fu Xue had already closed her eyes, her dense eyelashes casting fine shadows on her face.

She clenched the corner of her garment, her knuckles turning white; her whole body stiffened like a statue, even her breathing became cautious.

She agreed!!

Thank you, teacher.

Lu Xun cautiously approached and kissed Fu Xue's cool lips.

Mmm~

Fu Xue's body tensed, the protective true qi she had deliberately suppressed almost burst forth.

She probably didn't expect Lu Xun to kiss her lips.

Her lips were softer than imagined, with a faint fragrance.

Lu Xun did it for the binding, didn't dare to linger, but still kissed her for a full minute before pulling away.

If the time were short, he worried it wouldn't be enough.

Perhaps due to the great shock, after being kissed by Lu Xun for so long, Fu Xue had no objection at all.

She stood there like a wooden puppet.

One minute later, Lu Xun left Fu Xue.

The mini rainbow bridge lasts at most three minutes; time is almost up.

At this moment, Fu Xue still stood where she was, as if stiffened by the kiss.

Teacher, time is almost up!

Lu Xun hurriedly reminded her.

Mm!

Fu Xue finally reacted.

Take care.

Even though her face had flushed to her neck, Fu Xue didn't forget to give Lu Xun a word of advice.

She guessed that the kiss just now was meant as comfort for Lu Xun before the parting.

From Fu Xue's perspective, this parting might truly be a farewell of life and death.

Perhaps that's why she agreed to Lu Xun's excessive request.

Of course, without a basis of affection, if it were someone else, she could not have agreed.

After giving her advice, Fu Xue took a deep breath and stepped onto the rainbow bridge.

Rosy light appeared, enveloping her and rushing toward the distance.

One minute later, the rosy light carried Fu Xue to the end of the mini rainbow bridge, then directly entered the passage back to Lan Xing.

A few seconds later, the mini rainbow bridge turned into countless points of light and vanished.

As if it had never existed.

Everyone left.

Only Lu Xun remained.

And there was Barbara in his pocket space.

Lu Xun turned around here and looked at the ancient god the size of a planet.
