Chapter 426 Manipulating Desire
Chapter 426 Manipulating Desire
"Well... I should feel better after resting for a while!"
Shen Xu looked at Guan Bi with helpless eyes; he was truly panicked.
He never imagined that his breakthrough to the Qi Sea Realm would attract tribulation lightning; he simply thought it was ordinary heavenly lightning.
"I really wish you'd be paralyzed for a while," Guan Bi said helplessly, then moved a stool over and sat down beside his bed.
"Guanbi, what are you doing?"
"What else can we do? We can't just leave you paralyzed in bed. Miss is waiting for us to go eat!"
After Guan Bi finished speaking, he placed his hands on Guan Bi's legs, and the power of lightning covered Guan Bi's legs, helping to sort out the lightning that broke through the barrier within Guan Bi's legs.
Under Guan Bi's guidance, the purple lightning gradually became gentle and continued to penetrate into the bones of his legs.
Shen Xu stared blankly at Guan Bi's earnest and focused face. He realized that he had never looked at Guan Bi so intently before.
Her face was fair and radiant, shimmering with a crystal-clear luster. Her neck was slender and graceful, her long eyelashes trembled, and her purple eyes reflected lightning. She was flawless and pure, which made him unable to look away.
After a while, Guan Bi reached out and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.
Although she already knew that the lightning Shen Xu used only had a trace of the essence of the Purple Heaven Barrier-Breaking Divine Lightning, she was still a little nervous when she personally experienced its domineering power.
"I don't know how this guy dared to use such dangerous lightning to temper his body." Thinking of this, Guan Bi couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Just as she was about to warn Shen Xu again, she suddenly noticed that Shen Xu's gaze was a little strange; she had never felt this way from Shen Xu before.
It looked like a bloodthirsty beast, its golden-red eyes filled with greed.
Guan Bi immediately got up and moved away from Shen Xu, then asked somewhat nervously, "Shen Xu, what's wrong?"
Shen Xu seemed not to hear her words, and slowly stood up, step by step approaching her.
Guan Bi couldn't help but swallow, her heart racing involuntarily. She then retreated step by step in a panic until she hit the wooden wall behind her and had to stop.
Her heart was in a panic, and in the end, she could only clench her fists, close her eyes, and force herself not to look at Shen Xu.
At that moment, Shen Xu came to her side, placed his hand on her waist, and gently pulled her into his long-lost warm embrace.
As Shen Xu's face drew closer and closer to hers, Guan Bi felt like she was suffocating. Her face flushed crimson, and the sensation of Shen Xu's breath on her face made her body tremble involuntarily.
Clenching her teeth, Guan Bi forced herself not to groan, her arms unconsciously tightening around Shen Xu.
"Ah~" Shen Xu couldn't help but cry out in pain. His consciousness cleared for a moment, and when he realized the situation before him, he immediately triggered the crystal in his soul.
At that moment, Guan Bi's mind was blank. She only felt Shen Xu's forehead light up. He immediately relaxed his arms and fell asleep in her arms.
Seeing this, Guan Bi took a deep breath, and her rapid breathing gradually calmed down, but her heart was still beating very violently, showing no signs of abating.
Feeling the warmth in her arms, Guan Bi gradually came to her senses. She shouldn't have used the Purple Cloud Breaking Lightning to temper Shen Xu's bones.
Although the lightning under her control would not cause any harm to Shen Xu, its illusionary attributes did not disappear.
"Does this mean you have desires for me?" Guan Bi chuckled and poked Shen Xu's cheek before gently placing him back on the bed.
Sitting next to Shen Xu, Guan Bi examined Shen Xu's body and found that his current state was very similar to when he went to the Feather Clan Temple.
In addition, seeing the familiar light on Shen Xu's forehead, she guessed that Shen Xu must have gone to the Feather Clan Temple again.
"Are you afraid of taking responsibility for me?" Leaning gently against Shen Xu, Guan Bi brought her face close to his, carefully observing every detail of his face.
Looking at Shen Xu's lips, Guan Bi swallowed hard. "Shen Xu, don't blame me. Miss Xiao Yi did it first, and you owe me this." Then she closed her eyes and gently pressed her red lips to Shen Xu's lips.
After a long while, Guan Bi gently opened her eyes, "But after this, it seems you owe me even more!"
After resting outside the wooden house for a while, Guanbi gradually calmed down and returned to Bailu's side.
"What happened to Shen Xu? Why were you gone for so long?" Bai Lu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"He practiced the Nine Steps of Lightning with the tribulation lightning, but the hallucinogenic aura contained within it caused him to forget the time, and his legs became paralyzed and unable to move."
"How incredibly foolish! Is he alright?" Bai Lu asked with some concern.
"Yes! I have already expelled the excess heavenly lightning from his body, but it seems that he went to the Feather Clan Temple to avoid the influence of the hallucinations. His current situation is exactly the same as when he went to the Feather Clan Temple."
"How is it possible that he can freely enter and leave the Feather Clan's Holy Temple!"
"Based on the current situation, that is indeed the case."
"It seems Shen Xu has a big secret. Aunt Lan said she wants to see him, but I don't know when he will be back."
"It shouldn't be too long, after all, he's just trying to avoid the effects of hallucinations."
"That's all we can hope for."
After Shen Xu successfully entered the Spirit Realm through the crystal, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "That was terrifying."
Of course, he was referring to the tribulation lightning.
It was able to affect his mind without him even realizing it. At first, he just wanted to master the Lightning Flash as quickly as possible, but the tribulation lightning distorted his perception of time.
The second time was because he thought Guan Bi was beautiful, and Jie Lei actually let his desire control his body.
But he can't deny it. If he hadn't really had those thoughts in his heart, Jie Lei wouldn't have been able to use his desires to manipulate him into doing that kind of thing to Guan Bi.
He didn't know how to face Guanbi when he got back, or how to explain things to her.
Fortunately, he never did anything particularly outrageous. From now on, he should just stick to using ordinary lightning to temper his bones!
"It seems that after activating the crystal in the real world, I will come here." Looking at the familiar ruins in front of him, Shen Xu thought to himself.
"But we can only come here, and we can't go to other places?" Shen Xu couldn't help but wonder.
He knew that the Spirit Realm was definitely more than what he saw in front of him, so he stepped forward to explore in another direction.
After some time, Shen Xu returned to his starting point and found that the area he was in was surrounded by a barrier, and he had no way to go to the world outside the barrier.
