SWNOVELXO Chapter 518: You Must Be Coveting My Body
Chapter 518: You Must Be Coveting My Body
When Shangguan Qiong saw Lin Fengmian suddenly go limp and press heavily on her without moving, she thought he was joking.
“You idiot, why are you pretending to be dead?”
Shangguan Qiong pushed him in annoyance, but when he didn’t respond, she slapped him a few times, only to realize that he was truly unresponsive.
Panicking, she shoved Lin Fengmian off her and noticed that while he was still breathing and his heart was beating, there was no trace of his soul.
“Hey, you jerk, what are you doing?”
Shangguan Qiong couldn’t help but feel a moment of panic, her mind going blank.
Had that woman from earlier cast some kind of curse on him?
Was this the legendary “Dying on a Woman’s Belly”?
It sounded funny, but don’t die on my belly!
Soon, she remembered the incident on the airship and calmed herself down.
“Lin Fengmian, stop pretending to be dead. If you go on like this, I’ll get really angry!”
“Stand up! If you want to do it, just do it already. Get up!”
“You jerk, you start a fire and then pretend to be dead? At least get up and finish what you started!”
“Ugh, just die already!”
Naked and on the verge of tears, Shangguan Qiong couldn’t believe how much of a scoundrel he was.
He lit the fire and then ran away, even pretending to be dead. Wasn’t he afraid of scaring someone to death?
In the mysterious space.
Lin Fengmian emerged from the river excitedly, overjoyed to see Luo Xue standing on the riverbank.
“Luo Xue, you finally replied! I was so worried about you.”
He sprinted toward Luo Xue, planning to hug her and maybe take advantage of the situation to get a little closer.
But Luo Xue pointed her sword, Zhen Yuan, at him and said coldly, “You demon, stop right there!”
Lin Fengmian was stunned and froze. “Luo Xue, what’s wrong? I’m not a demon. I’m Lin Fengmian!”
He couldn’t understand why, after returning once, he was being treated like this now.
Had he traveled back to the wrong time?
Had he gone back to the time when he first met Luo Xue?
Luo Xue’s expression was calm, but she coldly snorted. “My master said that you are a demon who is trying to trick me!”
Lin Fengmian was stunned. “What? How do I look like a demon?”
“Every part of you does. You must be coveting my body and trying to possess me!” Luo Xue said icily.
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but laugh. “I do desire your body, but not in that way!”
What would I do with possessing you? I just want to enjoy your beauty!
Hearing his blunt words, Luo Xue’s face turned red and she glared at him.
Ten years apart, and he’s still so shameless!
Lin Fengmian carefully pushed aside the tip of her sword, grinning cheekily.
“If I’m a demon, I’m probably just a lecherous demon.”
Luo Xue couldn’t hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
“Hmph, you’re proud of being a lustful demon?”
Her laughter was like the melting of ice, illuminating the dark, silent space.
Lin Fengmian also laughed and teased, “What else? I can’t really be a heart demon, can I?”
Luo Xue enveloped Zhen Yuan and smiled sweetly. “All right, I’ll stop teasing you. Lin Fengmian, you’re still alive!”
Lin Fengmian nodded. “I couldn’t bear to die without saving you.”
Luo Xue rolled her eyes. “Smooth talker.”
Lin Fengmian looked at Luo Xue with concern. “Luo Xue, why didn’t you show up for so long? You scared me.”
Luo Xue pouted and looked annoyed. “I told my master about the time traveling, but she didn’t believe me.”
“She even thought I was crazy and locked me in the Cloud Return Pavilion. She took away Zhen Yuan and the Twin Fish Pendant.”
Although it sounded sad, seeing Luo Xue acting like a little girl and imagining the scene, Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Luo Xue had been locked up for ten years, and seeing this heartless guy laughing at her, she couldn’t help but feel angry.
“You’re still laughing! It’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you, my master wouldn’t have thought that I liked…”
“Liked what?” Lin Fengmian asked curiously.
Luo Xue’s face turned red, and she quickly covered herself up. “Nothing!”
Lin Fengmian smiled. “I’m a bit tied up right now, but the next time I have some free time, I’ll come over and prove it for you.”
Luo Xue rolled her eyes, teasing him. “Aren’t you afraid that my master will kill you as a demon?”
“Well, to be honest, I am a little afraid!”
Lin Fengmian grinned. “But Luo Xue, doesn’t this count as meeting your parents?”
“Get lost!”
Luo Xue blushed and snapped, “Do you believe I’ll strike you?”
“I believe it! I believe it!”
Lin Fengmian raised his hands in surrender. “Spare me, Fairy Luo Xue!”
Luo Xue didn’t bother to argue with him. She circled around Lin Fengmian and examined him closely.
“No missing arms or legs. It seems you’ve successfully replaced Jun Wuxie, but your cultivation level is rising too slowly!”
Lin Fengmian frowned. “My cultivation is slow? I’ve already reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!”
It had only been ten days, and he had made so much progress. How could she say that it was slow?
If Shangguan Qiong heard this, she would cry!
This was the result of her “Daily Contributions” and “Springs of Gratitude”!
Luo Xue repeatedly shook her head. “It’s been ten years, and you’ve only reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm? I thought you’d be at least at the Nascent Soul Realm by now!”
Lin Fengmian was stunned, wondering if he had misheard.
Ten years?
Even though the saying goes, “One day away from Luo Xue feels like three years,” that’s just a metaphor! Don’t make it real!
He grabbed Luo Xue’s shoulders, his expression serious and filled with an indescribable panic.
Luo Xue was startled and almost pushed him away, thinking that he was about to kiss her.
What should I do?
As she was internally debating, Lin Fengmian asked in a grave tone, “Luo Xue, I need to ask you something. This isn’t a joke. Answer me seriously!”
Luo Xue quickly nodded, her cheeks flushing and her heart racing.
What is he going to ask? Is he going to confess his feelings?
What should I do?
Lin Fengmian asked solemnly, “What’s the date today in your time?”
Luo Xue was taken aback, struggling to process the question, but soon her expression turned serious.
The first time he asked her this question, they discovered that they were a thousand years apart.
The more ordinary their conversations, the bigger the problem.
Even when Lin Fengmian asked her when she would kill the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign, she hadn’t been this nervous.
“It’s November 23rd, 3510 in the Tianyuan Calendar.”
Lin Fengmian’s heart sank, and he looked at her with a complex expression.
His gaze seemed to contain a thousand words, but none could be spoken, making Luo Xue feel uneasy.
“Lin Fengmian, don’t scare me. Why do you look like we’re saying goodbye forever?”
Lin Fengmian took a deep breath. “Luo Xue, in my time, it’s the 23rd of November, 3510 in the Tianyuan Calendar.”
Luo Xue was stunned for a moment before muttering, “Only thirteen days have passed for you? The timelines aren’t synchronized?”
She had always thought that their timelines moved at the same speed.
But ten years had passed for her, while only thirteen days had passed for him.
Lin Fengmian steadied himself and asked, “Luo Xue, first tell me what’s been happening on your side.”
Luo Xue nodded and sat by the riverbank, recounting her experiences over the past decade.
But since she had been confined to the Cloud Return Pavilion, there wasn’t much to tell.
Lin Fengmian also summarized his own situation briefly.
His thirteen days had been far more eventful than Luo Xue’s ten years.
