Death Grip
"Ah, Senior Sister, what happened?" Xing Chen suddenly came to his senses and looked at Xueqing.
"Junior Brother, what were you just thinking?" After a moment of contemplation, Xueqing asked.
"Uh, I was thinking about how to escape from here and safely return outside," Xing Chen replied, slightly stunned.
"There’s no way out unless Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother can come here. Otherwise, even if others arrive, they won't be able to save us," Xueqing sighed, as if she had already lost hope of escaping Lianyao Tower.
"Hate Emperor, do you have any practical solutions? Is there any other way to absorb the medicinal power of the Void Divine Fruit?" Xing Chen inquired.
"I really don’t know of any other methods. You can only cultivate the Yin Yang Classic together with your Senior Sister," Hate Emperor shrugged.
"Damn it, I'd rather die here," Xing Chen said angrily.
His resistance to this matter was not because Xueqing was unattractive; on the contrary, Xueqing was undoubtedly a rare beauty. However, Xing Chen felt very uncomfortable getting close to other women, which is why he refused Hate Emperor's suggestion without hesitation.
"Child, you need to think clearly. Although you are not afraid of death, your beloved is still waiting for you to save her. Once you die, she won't survive a year later either. Can you bear to watch her die like that?" Hate Emperor spoke slowly.
"Enough! Stop it!" Suddenly, Xing Chen let out a loud shout. This time he shouted directly, startling Xueqing and making her wonder why Xing Chen was acting this way.
"Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xing Chen suddenly scream in madness, Xueqing thought something had happened and her expression turned tense.
"It's nothing. Senior Sister, is the Void Divine Fruit still with you?" After a long silence, Xing Chen lowered his head and looked at Xueqing.
"Yes, it's still with me. Why?" Xueqing nodded and then looked at Xing Chen with confusion.
At that time, although Demon Dragon had captured Xueqing, he did not take anything from her, so the Void Divine Fruit remained with Xueqing.
"We can only escape thanks to this Void Divine Fruit," Xing Chen said through gritted teeth, his gaze towards Xueqing slightly wavering.
"Void Divine Fruit? Junior Brother, you don't mean to absorb the power of the Void Divine Fruit, do you? That's impossible. Even a strong expert at the Peak of Fate Observation Realm would need to use various medicines to absorb the Void Divine Fruit. With your strength, it's impossible for you to absorb it," Xueqing replied.
"Senior Sister, if we want to get out, are you willing to pay a price?" Xing Chen asked, his eyes fixed intently on Xueqing.
For Meng Xiner, he had to find a way out, no matter what it took. If Xueqing could agree to his method, that would be best; if not...
"A price? What kind of price?" Xueqing frowned slightly, instinctively sensing something ominous. Her gaze towards Xing Chen also changed.
"Senior Sister, to be honest, there is a way to absorb the Void Divine Fruit, but it requires your cooperation. Only together can we absorb all the power within the Void Divine Fruit," Xing Chen said after a moment of contemplation. He had not hidden anything from Xueqing, as there was no need to do so.
"Junior Brother, I don't understand what you mean by 'together'," Xueqing said with a slight furrow in her brow.
"I have a Cultivation Method here called the Yin Yang Classic. As long as we cultivate this method simultaneously, we can absorb the power of the Void Divine Fruit," Xing Chen explained, a slight wave of energy emanating from his soul and entering Xueqing's mind.
"Junior Brother, is this your plan?" After briefly scanning through the Yin Yang Classic, Xueqing's delicate face changed slightly.
"That's right, Senior Sister. No matter what, I must get out. I have my reasons for needing to leave," Xing Chen nodded and bit his lip tightly.
"I know what you're thinking. You want me to cultivate the Yin Yang Classic with you. That's not impossible, but are you sure you want to take responsibility for me?" Xueqing fixed her gaze on Xing Chen, her expression appearing quite indifferent.
"Senior Sister, I don't want to deceive you. I have someone I like..." After a long silence, Xing Chen finally spoke up, acknowledging his feelings for Meng Xiner. As he uttered those words, the cold aura that constantly emanated from him dissipated significantly.
"I see. If I don't agree, will you resort to force?" A hint of a smile appeared on Xueqing's face as she looked at Xing Chen.
"I don't want to force you, Senior Sister, but if it comes down to it, I won't rule out using that method," Xing Chen replied as he gazed at Xueqing.
"Junior Brother, although we have not spent much time together, I can see that you are talented, a truly gifted person. Your future achievements will definitely exceed everyone's imagination. However, I am not someone to be toyed with. If you are willing to take responsibility for me, then it would not be impossible for us to cultivate the Yin Yang Classic together and absorb the medicinal power of the Void Divine Fruit. But for now, I must decline your request." Xueqing's face still bore a smile, but there was a hint of vigilance in her expression.
"Hate Emperor, is there really no other way?" Xing Chen gritted his teeth and asked again. If possible, he did not want to resort to this method, but the key was that there was no other option available.
"There is no other way; this is the only method. Young man, do not be indecisive and hesitant. Make your decision quickly! If those Demon Dragon people recover from their injuries before you do, then you will be doomed," Hate Emperor said.
"Senior Sister, I'm sorry; you can blame me!" Xing Chen slightly closed his eyes and then suddenly opened them wide, raising his head to look at Xueqing.
"Junior Brother, you better think twice before acting; otherwise, you will bring disaster upon yourself. You are currently heavily injured and may not even be my match," Xueqing warned as she watched Xing Chen cautiously. At the same time, a light blue vortex slowly emerged from her palm.
"What if I am willing to take responsibility for you?" After hesitating for a moment, Xing Chen suddenly spoke up. He really could not bring himself to force such a thing; if he did that, regardless of how others viewed him, he would look down on himself.
"What did you say?" Upon hearing Xing Chen's words, Xueqing was taken aback. She had been prepared to confront him and did not expect him to say something like this.
"I am willing to take responsibility for you. However, I must remind you of one thing: I might die in a year. Are you still sure you want to cultivate the Yin Yang Classic with me?" Xing Chen's gaze was also fixed on Xueqing.
"As long as you are willing to take responsibility for me, I can cultivate the Yin Yang Classic with you forever. As for your potential death in a year, I believe that won't happen because I will protect you well," Xueqing said with a beautiful smile once again.
"I'm not joking with you. In a year, I will attack the Underworld Palace. Regardless of my strength at that time, I will go. Therefore, I might only have this one year left to live. I hope you can think it through," Xing Chen said with his eyes closed.
"That's fine; as long as you take responsibility for me within this year, and besides, you might not necessarily die after a year," Xueqing pondered for a moment before replying.
"No matter what happens, I want to thank you for making such a great sacrifice. I, Xing Chen, have always kept my word. If I take responsibility for you, I will definitely do so; please don't worry about that," Xing Chen took a deep breath and calmed his emotions. At this moment, whenever he thought of Meng Xiner, his heart would ache intensely. But he had no other choice now; if he did not do this, he would die here, and Meng Xiner would also perish as a result. Therefore, he had to find a way out.
"I trust you. Moreover, I'm only asking you to take responsibility for me; it doesn't mean that you can't interact with other women. So there's no need for concern on that front," Xueqing said slowly.
"Senior Sister, let's begin cultivating the Yin Yang Classic! Please take out the Void Divine Fruit as well," Xing Chen stepped forward a few paces and said.
"Are you planning to cultivate here?" Xueqing glanced around at the desolate mountains and wilderness.
"I was careless, Senior Sister, please wait a moment." Xing Chen said, slightly turning his palm, and the Hate Demon Sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Although his current strength was less than one percent of its peak, he still had more than enough ability to condense the Hate Demon Sword.
Swish, swish, swish!
Holding the Hate Demon Sword, Xing Chen approached a mountainside. In just a few breaths, he opened a cave in the mountainside. At the same time, Xueqing walked over and smiled lightly at Xing Chen, saying, "Junior Brother, you look to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. When we start cultivating later, don't be shy!"
"Senior Sister, can we begin now?" Xing Chen replied calmly.
"Yes, this is the Void Divine Fruit. What should we do?" Xueqing nodded, her expression becoming serious. At the same time, a white fruit appeared in her hand. The fruit looked misty and ethereal, giving off an illusionary feeling.
"In the Yin Yang Classic, all things bear yin and embrace yang. The earth has both yin and yang energies, which are the strongest forces in the world. When they combine, they can produce unimaginable power..." Xing Chen sat cross-legged opposite Xueqing and began to speak slowly.
At that moment, the Void Divine Fruit began to float slowly, hovering above them. Xueqing, sitting cross-legged across from Xing Chen, also emitted subtle energies that continuously radiated from her body.
The Yin Yang Classic is an exceptionally powerful Cultivation Method created by the Ancient Times' Yin Yang Sovereign as a dual cultivation technique. The Hate Emperor paid a considerable price to obtain this Cultivation Method.
