chapter 28

In the original book, Yin Xuezhuo had never been to Linshuang City, so he had never noticed the abnormal spiritual veins located here.

Did she accidentally alter the direction of the plot and activated a hidden side story?

Yin Xuezhuo should be looking for the Black Ice Scales. Ji Yan noticed that Yin Xuezhuo was acting very abnormal at the moment.

He was flying faster and faster, so fast that Ji Yan was slowly losing her grip on him. She was slowly slipping down and just at the last second, Yin Xuezhuo wrapped his arm around her waist with great force as she pulled her back up.

The thick black nails on his fingers were getting longer and longer. The veins on his ghostly pale hands were bulging, and his veins were slowly turning black.

Ji Yan: Oh my god! Is he blackening right now?

Ji Yan was so terrified that she didn’t dare to move. Yin Xuezhuo’s grip around Ji Yan’s waist was slowly getting tighter and tighter. She wanted to struggle, but she was too scared, so she stayed very still. Her waist turned numb from his force. He looked like he was so angry that he wanted to hurt himself through her.

Ji Yan gasped in pain as she tried to suck in her belly. The hands around her waist were using so much force that tears burst out uncontrollably from her eyes.

Droplets of tears slid down her small face pitifully, and it immediately soaked Yin Xuezhuo’s clothes wet.

He paused slightly as if he was finally aware of what he had done. The pressure around her waist suddenly loosened. He held Ji Yan by her collar, lifted her up, and made sure they were facing face to face.

Ji Yan was crying so pitifully.

She was crying until her eyes were swollen red like rabbits. Ji Yan gasped for breath as her lips trembled in pain.

Yin Xuezhuo was startled by her tears for a moment before a soft chuckle escaped from his mouth. He was genuinely laughing at her.

He was simply amused by her reaction.

“Are you that afraid of pain?” Yin Xuezhuo shook her gently as she trembled like a frightened little hamster, “You’re afraid of pain and you’re also timid. You don’t have a spiritual root either. Why are you so useless?”

Ji Yan: ??? F**k you! Even if I’m not useful, I’m not a toy for you to torture around just because you’re moody!

She wished she could blast the man’s head open with a bomb.

He was so f**king insane.

Yin Xuezhuo released her again and wrapped his arm around her waist.

This time, he was holding her gently instead of using excessive force like before. Ji Yan’s tensed body relaxed as she clutched onto his clothing tightly. She muttered with grievances, “My waist must be swollen black and blue.”

Yin Xuezhuo didn’t even glance at her. He ignored her and continued to fly forward.

This time his flying speed was normal.

Yin Xuezhuo flew all the way there and quickly reached the area surrounding the spiritual vein. However, he did not descend to the ground to check out the spiritual vein.

The so-called spiritual vein looked more like a deep meteorite hole in Ji Yan’s eyes.

There were numerous lights swirling inside the meteorite hole. It was a beautiful sight as the spiritual power gathered around the spiritual vein formed into a swirling tornado as it rushed forth into the sky.

The moment Yin Xuezhuo approached the spiritual vein, his long dark hair was swept up by the wind, revealing his frigid expression underneath the moonlight. The moon was blocked by some dark clouds, so everything was dark. The wind suddenly surged forth from below. Ji Yan’s eardrums were agitated by the loud howling sound of the wind. She watched as the biting cold wind formed by Yin Xuezhuo swayed forth with such force as it destroyed everything around it.

The spiritual vein below seemed to have recognized Yin Xuezhuo as it began to vibrate.

Ji Yan noticed that it was more difficult for her to breathe.

Yin Xuezhuo lifted his hand and created a protective bubble around her. Yin Xuezhuo carried her as he flew downwards. His body rubbed against the solid air rapidly, creating a low screeching sound.

He wanted to get closed to the spiritual vein.

Just as he was about to touch the spiritual vein, an invisible barrier prevented him from getting any closer.
