The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 493 - 285 Persuade_2

Seeing that both of them were eating sparingly, White Tiger simply took over the plate and, with a few flicks, shoveled all the food into his stomach. Indeed, his eating can be classified as beast-like; within less than 15 minutes, he had completely wiped the dishes clean like a whirlwind. Luckily, his handsome appearance transformed his rough eating manner into a display of boldness.

After the meal, he even patted his stomach and sighed, "It’s not enough." After all, it had been ten thousand years since he had last eaten. And with his true appetite, even if Ning Xiaoxian had ten times more food on hand, it would still not be enough to fill his stomach.

He was naturally fond of water, and originally entered this forest to seek a stream to splash around in, but then he encountered Ning Xiaoxian. Now, having finished eating, he was thinking about taking a comfortable bath, so he left the God Demon Prison, intentionally or unintentionally clearing the lower space for those two.

Ning Xiaoxian bowed her head to tidy up the bowls and chopsticks, not even giving Changtian a glance as she turned to leave. He then whispered, "Girl, are you angry?"

"No!" She answered very quickly.

"But do you feel wronged?"

As soon as he said that, her eyes immediately reddened and her nose also felt a bit sour. She inwardly cursed herself, having learned the Guiding Technique and followed the path of Body Cultivation - both of which are said to control every muscle, every nerve - but she had no control over her tear glands at all. The tears would come whenever they wanted, without her permission.

She had no idea where her kung fu had gone.

Just as she was about to reply "No" again, Changtian preempted her, saying, "There are things I’d like to tell you personally, don’t let that White Tiger distort them."

His earnest expression on his face made him sound so convincing. Changtian’s ability to sweet-talk had gotten slicker over time. The tears that hadn’t fallen from her eyes mysteriously vanished, and although she felt sweet inside, she stubbornly said, "Speak if you wish, I don’t want to listen." Yet her steps involuntarily paused.

Who knew that Changtian would let out a sigh of resignation, "Alright then." And then he really fell silent, no longer speaking.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

This soulless man really stopped talking! She was so angry that she tore off the Demon Eye from her chest, using it as a secret weapon, and turned to throw it. In her furious state, the force added to the Demon Eye was substantial, capable of making holes even in the ordinary stone walls, but Changtian did not reach out to catch it, allowing it to hit his chest.

He seemed to grunt softly in pain, reaching to hold his chest.

Ning Xiaoxian was startled, her hands tense as she hurriedly asked, "Are you alright?" She involuntarily took a step forward, only then remembering that this guy in front of her was a giant demon who was unaffected by water or fire, impervious to blades or spears; even if she stabbed him with a Tusk, he would be fine!

Sure enough, in the next second, she saw Changtian raising his handsome face, struggling to hold back a smile, showing no sign of pain whatsoever.

"Soulless!" She blushed with irritation, stomping her foot and turned towards the teleportation portal.

"Cough, cough." He quickly coughed, "Granny, come here, you’ve won. Whatever you want to hear, I’ll tell."

The moment he spoke, her pace indeed slowed down and eventually, stopped. She turned around somewhat incredulously and asked, "Really?"

"Really!"

It must be said, Changtian with a stern face was quite persuasive, so after thinking it over, she decided to believe him and slowly moved closer.

"Let’s start from Azure Dragon, how did you manage to kill Azure Dragon?"

His expression shifted upon hearing this, "Do you really want to hear this?"

"Yes." She wanted to know, but his expression was somewhat odd; had she touched a sore spot? She quickly changed her statement, "Well, if it’s inconvenient, never mind."

"It’s not inconvenient." Although he said that, he followed it up with a sigh. "After a fierce battle, Azure Dragon’s Divine Soul was damaged, falling into a coma. Even his inner core had shattered. However, his Life Force was too strong, no matter what methods others used, they couldn’t kill him. So I..."

He spoke hesitantly, which was very rare for him.

Changtian whispered, "So I transformed into my True Body and swallowed him." Seeing her slightly open mouth, obviously shocked, "After that, I secluded myself for over a thousand years before completely assimilating the essence of Azure Dragon. The Power of Growth from Yimu among the Seven Stars of the East was finally fully mine."

Good heavens, he had actually swallowed a whole dragon! Ning Xiaoxian took quite a while to close her mouth, unsure what to say next. Changtian’s refined and elegant appearance was too deceiving; she continually forgot that it was just his external façade, his True Body still being that of a cold-blooded creature.

But then again, he was a giant demon, and devouring opponents was surely an instinct in his bloodline. Besides, his True Body was a giant snake, and it is in the nature of snakes to swallow their prey whole. Azure Dragon’s remaining Power of Growth, pitted against the digestive power of a giant snake, had finally lost.

Perhaps she contemplated too long; she suddenly felt a cool touch on her face, but it was Changtian raising his hand to gently stroke her cheek.

"Are you scared?" he whispered gently.

She heard the concern in his voice. He was afraid she felt repelled by him.

"Not scared." She rubbed her face against his fingers, looking very much like a coquettish kitty, which made him feel a warmth, "It’s still you. If you hadn’t eaten him, you wouldn’t have survived. Thanks to your Yimu Power, otherwise during these long thirty thousand years, you wouldn’t have waited for me."

Hadn’t he always been waiting for her? Changtian smiled, a faint joy in his eyes, as he leaned down to kiss her hair.

"Remember how you used Divine Power to show me the process of a fish transforming into a dragon?" She watched him nod, then continued, "All creatures yearn to transform into dragons, yet White Tiger just said you specifically don’t want to transform into a dragon, why?" (To be continued.
