Chapter 861: Skin-Deep Intimacy Between Two! Zhao Luoran's Heart Stirs!

Zhao Luoran clearly hadn't expected this at all at this moment.

Xu Chen had actually pretended to be more ruthless than her.

She had merely vomited blood.

But Xu Chen had directly fainted.

It left her utterly stunned.

But at this moment, she couldn't just do nothing.

She could only save Xu Chen.

So she gave Xu Chen a Pill to eat.

Shortly after, Xu Chen woke up.

He pretended to sigh and said:

"To tell you the truth, miss, what I cultivate is the Undying Dao.

This kind of Imperial Dao, you must have heard of it, right?"

Zhao Luoran's pupils contracted slightly.

Undying Dao.

The legendary number one Imperial Dao?

This guy was actually this powerful?

Xu Chen continued to lie, saying:

"The Undying Dao is indeed powerful—even if one falls, one can revive instantly.

But each use consumes a massive amount of lifespan.

This is the price; it isn't unconditional.

Just now, to help heal your wounds, I burned a hundred years of my lifespan.

Although it wasn't fully healed, I feel it was still useful."

Zhao Luoran was stunned the moment she heard this.

The Undying Dao actually required this kind of price?

She asked curiously, "Then have you recovered now?"

Xu Chen said:

"Lifespan can't be restored, but vital energy can be recovered—though I'll be weak for a few days.

Of course it's fine; even if I'm weak, I won't perish.

Miss, I've noticed you have hidden wounds inside your body.

These hidden wounds I might be able to help cure, but it will take time."

Zhao Luoran was shocked once again.

Xu Chen could even sense this.

She sensed her own hidden wounds once more.

She discovered that, without realizing it, some of them had already recovered.

She clicked her tongue.

Her hidden wounds were caused by the backlash of the Heavenly Secret Jade Pendant.

Even the Wood Spirit Imperial Dao couldn't resolve this kind of backlash force.

She hadn't expected that Xu Chen's Undying Dao could actually repair some of it.

Although it was only some.

But she saw hope.

Zhao Luoran said, somewhat in disbelief, "Really?"

Xu Chen nodded: "Really, though it might hurt a bit."

Zhao Luoran said: "Pain is nothing; the key is being able to cure me."

At this moment, she already believed Xu Chen.

After all, her hidden wounds really had improved a little.

Xu Chen's eyes looked clear and bright.

He didn't look like some kind of swindler.

This gave her the feeling that Xu Chen was someone who could be trusted.

Xu Chen nodded and said:

"Good, you saved me, so I'll save you too.

Don't worry, I will spare no effort to save you.

I swear upon the Heavenly Dao—otherwise, may my body perish and my Dao fall."

"Buzz!"

At that moment, the Heavenly Dao sent down power, enveloping Xu Chen.

This meant that if Xu Chen didn't give his all,

then when the time came, Xu Chen would perish.

Even the Undying Dao probably couldn't save him.

At that moment, Zhao Luoran was stunned once again.

She had only been putting on a show with Xu Chen.

And Xu Chen had actually sworn upon the Heavenly Dao for real?

This guy is way too stupid.

Xu Chen, however, was unmoved inside.

Saving Zhao Luoran is very simple.

His Undying Dao contains the power of endless renewal.

It is capable of restoring everything about the body.

With Zhao Luoran's injuries, the power of the Undying Dao alone can heal them.

Then return the body to its original state.

Very simple, it can be done in an instant.

He doesn't even need to use any tricks.

He can take care of everything.

So this Heavenly Dao Oath holds no threat to him whatsoever.

His aim is to make Zhao Luoran feel moved and trust him.

Threatening and coercing are low-class methods.

Making the other party feel moved and trust you is the high-class method.

Xu Chen prefers the latter.

Because if the latter succeeds.

What Xu Chen can gain will absolutely not be limited to the Emperor's Dao alone.

There will also be plenty of information, martial arts, Secret Techniques, and the like.

This is the difference between high-class methods and low-class methods.

And there's no risk at all.

After all, threatening and coercing can backfire at any time.

Because he also doesn't know what methods Zhao Luoran has.

Therefore he's not in a hurry.

Boil the frog in warm water, after all.

Things have to be done slowly.

He also has to slowly put on an act.

For example, spitting a mouthful of blood every now and then during healing.

"Puh!"

Having thought this through, Xu Chen.

Soon continued healing Zhao Luoran's injuries.

He kept spitting blood.

His injuries also looked increasingly severe.

His complexion also grew uglier and uglier.

His condition also grew weaker and weaker.

But he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Even with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, he still did not give up.
