Chapter 346: Chapter 348 Pathological Obsession


    A Holy Spirit of thirteen thousand years, just like an old hen used by a peasant woman to entertain guests, was neatly ughtered by Zhu Xuehen.


    Zhu Minng, standing by the side, nned to praise her a few words, but seeing Zhu Xuehen’s expressionless face, he knew that no matter how much he admired her, it would be meaningless; this was a basic operation for her.


    “It turns out Aunt Xuehen did not go far, thank goodness you arrived in time. Otherwise, the two of us would have had a lot of trouble,” Pu Shiming immediately ran out when he saw Zhu Xuehen suddenly appear.


    “Are you trying to endanger his life?” Zhu Xuehen turned around and questioned Pu Shiming.


    “How could I harbor such malicious intentions, I merely wanted to test young master Zhu’s strength. As you saw, I did not go far. If there were any risk to his life, I would have acted immediately,” Pu Shiming quickly exined and bowed to Zhu Minng to sincerely apologize.


    “Swoosh!!!”


    Suddenly, Zhu Xuehen drew her sword like a shadow, and the moment the Shadowless Sword appeared from its sheath, its Sword Qi was already thrusting directly towards Pu Shiming’s head.


    Pu Shiming stood there, only then showing a hint of realization on his face; by the time he thought to react, the sense of lethal suffocation had already surged over him like raging roaring waves!


    Strands of hair floated down from the temples of Pu Shiming, while at the same time, beads of cold sweat formed a line, sliding down the sides of his cheeks!


    The smile of apology from Pu Shiming had turned into extreme paleness, his entire person standing stiff as a sculpture, daring not to move an inch; his eyes were filled with fear, and a bit of disbelief!!!<div>


    Zhu Xuehen had drawn her sword against him…


    And it was only by a hair’s breadth that she did not chop off his head!


    After working together for so many years, she would draw her sword against him for such a trivial matter???


    The sword was back in its sheath; the whole process was as quick as the blink of an eye.


    Sword Removal Technique, Shadowless Sword.


    Although Zhu Minng was also capable of this swordsmanship, Zhu Xuehen’s speed in drawing and sheathing her sword was so astonishing that Zhu Minng couldn’t see her movements clearly, nor was hepletely sure that he could intercept the blow.


    “If there’s a next time, it won’t miss,” Zhu Xuehen said coldly.


    “No… There won’t be a next time,” replied Pu Shiming, stiff as a board, as if speaking slower might really leave him beheaded!


    Zhu Minng naturally didn’t think much of Pu Shiming and his sanctimonious attitude; this time, Pu Shiming took the initiative to travel with him, and Zhu Minng was somewhat prepared in his mind.


    Was it just a test, or was there an intent to harm him? It all depended on the power of the Stone Fairy and Ghost…


    The Stone Fairy and Ghost was thirteen thousand years old, obviously at the Peak Monarch Level.


    In Pu Shiming’s perception, Zhu Minng should be a low-level or middle-level Dragon Trainer. After the great contest of power, that was what most people in the Imperial City believed.


    The Tea-colored Ground, Runyu City, was after all remote, and news traveled sluggishly. Even if the incident with the Heavenly ughter Dragon spread, it wouldn’t have reached everyone’s ears so quickly.


    Moreso, not everyone would believe it, unless Zhu Minng disyed the power of the Heavenly ughter Dragon on arger stage.


    Apart from those forces in Runyu City who had already encountered it, not many knew that he possessed a Dragon King.


    Testing and persecuting are only a thin line apart, and Zhu Minng was now clear about Pu Shiming’s true intentions.


    “Auntie, sorry to have worried you. I think Pu Shiming also really just wanted to see my strength. After all, I am now a Dragon Trainer. As someone who once trampled everyone underfoot in the Imperial City as a genius, it’s only natural for Pu Shiming to be curious about my current Dragon Trainer’s Cultivation Base; there’s no need for Auntie to hold a grudge against him,” Zhu Minng said with a smile to Zhu Xuehen.


    “Don’t linger around this area,” said Zhu Xuehen.


    “Sure, Aunt Xuehen should be careful as well. Not everyone has a kind and straightforward heart like I, Zhu Minng, have. When dealing with others, we must keep our guard up,” Zhu Minng nodded and also left a word of caution.<div>


    Zhu Xuehen did not show any reaction.


    On the other hand, Pu Shiming’s eyes were already filled with anger.


    He admitted he was indeed infatuated with Zhu Xuehen and understood very well Zhu Xuehen’s indifferent attitude towards everyone, but only this Zhu Minng…


    It wasn’t that he was testing Zhu Minng’s strength at all.<div>


    He was clearly testing Zhu Xuehen, testing her level of concern for Zhu Minng.


    If she truly did not care at all, why would she, having clearly left, stille back worried?


    There really was a problem!


    He found it uneptable and even less tolerable.


    Working together for years, Pu Shiming had never seen any special emotional fluctuation in Zhu Xuehen, yet, when he tested Zhu Minng, her anger had poured forth unrestrained in that sword strike just now!


    Pu Shiming even believed that if he hadn’t had his distinguished identity, if it weren’t for Zhu Xuehen considering the reaction from the Purple Sect n and the Imperial City, she would have chopped off his head with a single sword strike just now!


    How merciless!!


    All those years of effort, Zhu Xuehen remained unmoved, still viewing him as an insignificant person.


    This made the jealousy and humiliation in Pu Shiming’s heart turn into an uncontroble me, almost scorching his cheeks!


    And under these circumstances, he still had to listen to Zhu Minng and Zhu Xuehen exchange those words of mutual concern, like two shameless lovers whispering sweet nothings.


    Zhu Minng, Zhu Minng, what are you, after all?!


    Nothing but a scoundrel who hides behind a woman, unting past affection, begging for protection!


    Pu Shiming, using all his might, suppressed the turmoil in his heart and turned to leave.<div>


    Zhu Minng watched his retreating figure, his gaze growing colder by the moment.


    The words he had just said to Zhu Xuehen were not actually intended to excuse Pu Shiming.


    They were merely to blindfold Pu Shiming, to make him think he was indeed very na?ve.


    Just losing a few strands of hair was enough?


    Zhu Minng was not a great sage who, after being yed and fooled, would offer no reprisal.


    “He’s possessed,” Zhu Minng said.


    “The Guangshan Purple Sect n was destroyed, and some of those inside were his rtives; it’s likely because of this extreme grief, Pu Shiming’s mind is also not right,” Zhu Xuehen said.


    “Aunt Xuehen, you really don’t understand worldly affairs one bit. Despite his efforts to disy that kind of humble and polite demeanor, the magnanimity and ease, I could feel his disgust and rejection towards me both times we met. It’s as if any man who can speak to Aunt Xuehen must be met with vignce. The twisted emotions of infatuation and jealousy he harbors are hypocritically stered on his face, not even the decorum of a noble family can mask it,” Zhu Minng said very bluntly.


    “Oh, that reason,” Zhu Xuehen fell into contemtion, knitting her brows, and after a moment, added, “I originally thought it was a covert struggle between the head of the Zhu Gate and the Pu Family.”


    For a moment, Zhu Minng didn’t know what to say.


    Good heavens.


    When Pu Shiming looked at Zhu Xuehen, his eyes were almost glowing green.


    Zhu Xuehen had worked with him for so many years and hadn’t noticed at all???<div>


    Truly worthy of being Zhu Xuehen.


    Is she really that ignorant of human rtionships and the affairs of the heart?
