Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 190: Heavenly Level
In the morning, Zhang Yu slowly opened his eyes then circulated his gaze around looking for Xuan Yin's whereabouts.
Surprisingly Xuan Yin was not there which instantly made Zhang Yu slowly frown.
"Where did he go?" muttered. When Zhang Yu started to stand up, he only realized the energy in his body was turbulent erratically. Without saying much Zhang Yu immediately took a cross-legged sitting position then quickly processed that power energy into the resources of his body.
Just when Zhang Yu closed his eyes and focused on absorbing that energy, Xuan Yin entered the cave while drying his hair.
He didn't go carelessly. He went to the lake to clean himself up.
"May he still cultivate?" Xuan Yin watched Zhang Yu. He was able to figure out Zhang Yu's situation since it was also in a similar condition earlier.
Need to underline. Aside from the male side, the moon goddess's body owner also benefited after making contact. Although the pain was indeed real and it even felt like there was a knife splitting his stomach from behind, but compared to the subsequent increase Xuan Yin thought the pain was actually still within reasonable limits.
Now his cultivation was at the one-star senior level. Increased considerably compared to before that which was still at the master level. Of course Xuan Yin was very pleased with this improvement as it made him stronger and more deserving of a match with Zhang Yu.
"Maybe I will wait for him outside," Xuan Yin murmured.
No one knew when Zhang Yu's cultivation time would end. So Xuan Yin decided to go out as well as guard this cave from the attacks of spiritual beasts.
However, the flower valley itself was inhabited only by low-level spiritual beasts. If anyone was strong enough, it was only up to level three that was equivalent to a master level cultivator. So there shouldn't be any spiritual beasts approaching out of fear of the force pressure emanating from Zhang Yu's body.
The morning changes day and the day changes night. In this time Zhang Yu continued to experience an increase. From the level of a one star saint rising to a two star, three star, four star and even now he was at the one star heavenly level.
A miracle like this if told for sure he would be called crazy. The reason was, everyone was trying desperately to increase strength but Zhang Yu had increased so much in just one night.
Even in this stage the power energy in his body was still radiating as if it could not be depleted. It's really incredible. It was none other than the power of the blood core of the moon goddess body.
Next morning.
Xuan Yin outside the cave was still waiting for Zhang Yu to come out. Occasionally glanced inward but ended up just sitting while leaning against the pine tree while heating up the grilled meat.
"Why is he so comfortable in there. Doesn't he want to go home? Everyone must be looking for her." Xuan Yin remembered last night leaving secretly. Not telling anyone because it wasn't even in the plan.
Just as Xuan Yin was still busy grilling the meat to fill his stomach, the tree branch he was grasping suddenly disappeared.
Uh...
When he tried to look for it, Zhang Yu was already sitting next to him carrying a tree branch as well as his grilled meat.
"Is it still sick?" ask Zhang Yu.
Xuan Yin smiled then shook his head. "No. It hasn't even been felt since last night."
"What's more important is that my cultivation level has increased significantly" he added.
Zhang Yu looked at his eyes, then chuckled softly. "If so I can do it more often, right?"
"No problem. It's not like I did it just because I wanted power. I did it because it was you."
Xuan Yin's face grew increasingly red upon hearing Zhang Yu's remark. He turned his face and then snorted softly.
"Basic bawdy!"
Zhang Yu did not say anything. He thrust out the cooked grilled meat to Xuan Yin. They ate together, sitting under a pine tree while enjoying the morning atmosphere in the flower valley.
"When I was a kid, I always asked if I could live happily. Considering I had to use the prince's identity, I thought the happiness I expected never came." Xuan Yin raised his face, gradually starting to lean his head against Zhang Yu's shoulder.
Zhang Yu who was aware of Xuan Yin's mood immediately clenched him while stroking his head.
"Who would have thought I'd met you here. In the valley of flowers."
"Although there was a misunderstanding and a lot of opposition from both of us, but somehow it made me keep thinking about you. Until we meet at the academy and then get trapped in the underground altar that is in the Zhen Yang Realm." Xuan Yin suddenly became excited when telling her about the Zhen Yang Realm.
Perhaps it was because it was the first time he was in a relationship with Zhang Yu. Which has made their relationship grow so far.
"What about you? Do you feel the same way?" xuan Yin asked suddenly. He seemed to be hoping that Zhang Yu would share his story.
Zhang Yu was silent. He recalled how he had first met Xuan Yin and was perverted for peeking at her.
That was a pretty memorable first time. Moreover, after that Zhang Yu found out that Xuan Yin was the seventh prince and he had a hidden identity. Intense encounters and interactions slowly create a path for her feelings.
"Nothing," Zhang Yu lied which made Xuan Yin pursed her lips in disappointment.
"Let's go back to the clan. Worried that your brothers think you've returned to the palace and taken the party away from the city." Zhang Yu got up to his feet while pulling Xuan Yin's hand.
Although Xuan Yin was still upset, but he thought what Zhang Yu said made sense. He immediately stood up and followed Zhang Yu back.
On the way Xuan Yin continued to pay attention to Zhang Yu's face. She looked at him fixedly as she was curious about his current level of strength.
"Before he was at the level of a one-star saint. Is he already at the heavenly level?" murmured Xuan Yin slowly.
Who would have thought that Zhang Yu heard his mutter. But instead of answering, he just laughed.
"Yin'er, it looks like the Imperial carriage party is still in the Zhang Clan's residence," Zhang Yu said as he pointed at the row of imperial-symbol chariots that were near the entrance gate of the clan's residence.
Xuan Yin immediately tied her hair and changed her appearance. He asked Zhang Yu to enter first before he entered so that no one would be suspicious.
Zhang Yu agreed. But right at this moment a voice shocked them.
"It turns out you're both here,"
