Chapter 1390 1390: Zi Mei Awakens
"I see."
Su Chen heard this and finally understood.
Actually, Zhou Ying also found it strange that Su Chen could get here, but on second thought, since he was able to kill two Condensation Pill Realm people with cultivation not even at Kaiyuan Late Stage, it was normal for him to have some means!
At this moment, Su Chen smiled, then extended a hand:
"I guess we know each other now, my name is Su Chen."
Zhou Ying saw Su Chen's extended hand and was a little surprised, then somewhat shyly extended her slender hand, and grasped Su Chen's large hand.
Su Chen didn't think much of it and released it after a light grip, saying:
"Let's continue our search and see if there's anything to find!"
"Okay."
Zhou Ying also nodded, and the two of them stood up and walked forward, observing as they went.
Meanwhile, they chatted casually, not minding whatever they talked about.
"This place is strange, kid!"
Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in Su Chen's mind.
"Zi Mei! You're back!"
Su Chen was immediately delighted upon hearing the voice and blurted out.
"What did you say?"
Zhou Ying almost got startled by Su Chen's sudden exclamation and curiously asked.
"Oh, it's nothing, just lost in thought a bit deeply."
Su Chen grinned awkwardly, and naturally, he wouldn't mention Zi Mei's existence to anyone!
Not to this girl he just met, and not even to the women back in the manor.
Firstly, nobody would believe it if he said it, instead, they would think he's crazy; Secondly, Zi Mei had instructed not to let anyone know of her existence!
Since Zi Mei said so, he obviously wouldn't tell others, after all, he found Zi Mei quite endearing, as if there was some mysterious connection between them!
However, one thing that had been bothering him was that ever since Zi Mei taught him the "Wind Shadow Step", she seemed to have gone silent!
Su Chen had called for her several times, but there was no response!
Unexpectedly, Zi Mei suddenly spoke up again at this time!
"What do you mean by back?"
At this moment, Zi Mei sounded displeased as she retorted:
"Do you think I'm dead?"
"Sorry, sorry!"
Even though Su Chen found Zi Mei endearing, he didn't dare to offend her and quickly joked in his mind:
"I mean you're finally awake!"
Su Chen could communicate with Zi Mei in his mind without uttering a word and without any hindrance!
"Hmm."
Hearing Su Chen's words, Zi Mei's tone slightly improved and she let out a soft "hmm".
"By the way, Zi Mei, why were you asleep for so long before?"
Su Chen curiously inquired mentally.
"Alright, let's not talk about that now, this place is somewhat special!"
Zi Mei pondered and said.
Actually, her Divine Soul is very weak right now, and it wasn't until here that she sensed something, suddenly awakening from her slumber!
Of course, her Divine Soul Mental Power, even severely weakened, is incomparable to her peak, but it's still beyond what Su Chen currently can match!
Especially since Su Chen hasn't cultivated any Consciousness Sea Mental Power yet!
"What's so strange?"
Su Chen realized it was unusual for there to be a water tunnel beneath this underground palace pool, but he didn't sense anything particularly odd!
Still, he trusted Zi Mei greatly; she wouldn't say such things without reason.
"I can't say for sure, just follow my guidance for now."
Zi Mei's voice rang out again in Su Chen's mind.
"Alright."
Su Chen, of course, had no objections.
He then followed Zi Mei's guidance, moving through the cave, with Zhou Ying closely following behind.
"Su Chen, where are you headed to?"
Zhou Ying saw Su Chen no longer searching slowly but walking straight ahead and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Just follow me."
Su Chen smiled and said.
"Oh."
Zhou Ying, not knowing what's going on, could only follow Su Chen closely.
In a short while, Su Chen and Zhou Ying had passed through a dozen or so interconnected caverns, arriving at the entrance of another cave.
Unlike before, the entrance was covered by a layer of azure light, like a door.
Although it was a light cluster, it was completely different from the light cluster he encountered when getting the Thousand Hand Seal, this one seemed composed of some special energy!
"Zi Mei, what's this about?"
Su Chen looked at the azure light and asked.
"Not sure, it should be some kind of barrier or restriction."
Zi Mei pondered and said:
"Try going in and see."
"Could it be dangerous?"
Su Chen asked hesitantly.
Though generally brave, he's not fearless!
After all, Su Chen hadn't gotten reckless enough to think he could handle everything, especially unknowns!
Of course, usually, curiosity often surpasses any hesitation within!
"It shouldn't be. Generally, this type of situation doesn't pose danger, mostly it's restrictive!"
Zi Mei said, based on her experience:
"Of course, sometimes forcefully breaking through restrictions can result in backlash!"
"So, try first, and if it doesn't work, retreat quickly."
With these words from Zi Mei, Su Chen felt much more at ease!
Even if Zi Mei said it was dangerous, he couldn't just stand still, let alone since Zi Mei said it's usually just restrictive, it encouraged him to try!
"Zhou Ying, wait here for a moment, I'll check if there's danger. If not, you can come in."
Su Chen turned and smiled at Zhou Ying.
Hearing this, Zhou Ying felt a touch of emotion rising inside!
She knew Su Chen was leaving the danger to himself and giving her a way out.
Though Su Chen didn't think much of it, it was just a natural choice for him.
If there is danger, one person is enough. Why involve two people?
Besides, he couldn't possibly have Zhou Ying, a girl, risk her life, could he?!
Such a thing, Su Chen would not do, otherwise, he wouldn't be much of a man!
In the worst case, if there is danger, it's easier for him to escape alone!
If Zhou Ying came along, he would have to look out for her, which would complicate things!
"Be careful,"
Zhou Ying couldn't help but express some worry.
"Don't worry, it'll be okay!"
Su Chen reassured her with a confident look and smile.
"You sneaky kid, can't leave out any chance to flirt, can you!"
Just then, Zi Mei's teasing voice echoed in his mind.
"Am I as bad as you say?"
Su Chen responded, feeling exasperated.
"What do you think?"
Zi Mei replied with a mischievous tone...
(ps: More to come tonight!)
