"This time, can I watch over you while you heal Chu Feng before I go in?"
"I won't run away anyway."
When Eggy raised her head to ask, there was even a hint of pleading in her voice.
She was almost never polite to anyone, yet at this moment she seemed so courteous.
But she truly wanted to stay with Chu Feng for as long as possible.
Of course, if she could see Chu Feng safe and sound before she left, she would feel much more at ease.
"Very well."
A voice echoed through the place, and then a beam of light descended from above, enveloping Chu Feng.
The light was extraordinary — visible to the naked eye as it entered Chu Feng's body.
Immediately after, Chu Feng's cultivation actually manifested.
His barrier technique was still First-rank True Dragon.
But his martial cultivation had plummeted to Fifth-rank Half God, and his aura was extremely unstable. That feeling clearly indicated it was still continuing to decline.
However, the power of the Blood of the King quickly surfaced, covering Chu Feng's entire body. Under the wondrous power of the Blood of the King, the Heavenly Thunder Bloodline was healed, and Chu Feng's cultivation began to recover.
In the end, his cultivation was First-rank True God, First-rank True Dragon.
"Fully healed?" Eggy asked joyfully.
The voice in the place did not answer, but instead urged: "It is time for you to go in."
But Eggy was unwilling to rise. Instead, she looked toward Chu Feng's chest.
"Black Iron Piece, are you there?" Eggy asked.
"How dare you address This King in such a manner?" The Shura Sword immediately replied in displeasure.
"Then what should I call you? Little brat?" Eggy asked.
"Little brat? You're the little brat! This King is far older than you," the Shura Sword retorted.
But Eggy had her reasons for calling it that.
Despite the Shura Sword constantly referring to itself as "This King," its voice was ambiguous — neither distinctly male nor female — and quite childish, truly sounding like a child speaking.
Though its tone was fierce, in the end it was still a child's voice.
"Then what should I call you?" Eggy asked.
"You little wench, stop playing dumb with This King. Don't you already know This King's identity? Naturally, you should call me Lord Shura Sword," the Shura Sword said.
"Fine, Shura Sword. Then can you tell me — how exactly did Chu Feng rescue Little Fish?" Eggy asked.
Hearing this, the Shura Sword felt a twinge of something unpleasant in its heart.
It knew something of that person's methods.
In truth, it was not certain whether Chu Feng could endure that person's trial.
If Chu Feng failed, on the surface Eggy would be sealed away for a hundred thousand years, but in reality she would be taken back to the Shura Realm for cultivation.
If Eggy went back...
In truth, it would also be difficult for it to remain with Chu Feng.
If it had to go back, it could accept that.
At most, it simply thought Chu Feng was a decent fellow.
But as for any real emotional bond — one could say there was none.
However, the bond between Eggy and Chu Feng — the Shura Sword had seen it all with perfect clarity.
On top of that, there were certain things unknown to others that the Shura Sword had heard whispers of.
So it felt a certain sympathy for Eggy.
That person had deliberately guided Jie Ranqing to capture Eggy and seal her inside Chu Feng's body. From the very beginning, they had even bound the two of them together with a bond, all to cultivate the feelings between Eggy and Chu Feng.
Now the two of them had truly developed feelings for each other.
And that bond surpassed all others.
Yet now, this person had to pull a stunt like this, insisting on testing Chu Feng.
If Chu Feng failed the trial, they would be forcibly separated.
Though it knew that when that person acted, there was inevitably a deeper purpose behind it...
For Eggy, who had been kept in the dark all along, it was far too cruel.
It was just like being a chess piece, manipulated all the same.
"I can tell you."
