Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 388 The Power of Language
"Pfft!"
Shen Jian Shu sprayed a mouthful of tea three meters away. This kid's ideas were too outrageous! Utterly unforgivable!
However, when Shen Jian Shu turned his head and saw Qiao Yu's serious expression, he knew that Qiao Yu wasn't joking… This guy could probably really do it.
Shen Jian Shu couldn't understand. He'd lived an honest life, finally about to retire, and he'd ended up with such an odd student. He was afraid his reputation was ruined…
After counseling Qiao Yu, Shen Jian Shu learned from Qiao Yu that Yang Xiangdi and the others should be at Ma Fei's house.
However, when the two arrived, the Ma family's villa was empty. There wasn't a single person inside, and the place where Ma Benwei's body had been lying was just a deep pit.
Qiao Yu tried to contact Ma Fei and the others. Zhao Ziyue didn't reply, and Ma Fei was even more extreme, directly blacklisting him!
Qiao Yu had a faint, uneasy feeling in his heart. Fortunately, he managed to contact Yang Xiangdi.
After meeting Yang Xiangdi, Qiao Yu finally understood the whole story, and he cursed inwardly.
But he didn't know how to explain it to Ma Fei. Although Ma Benwei died from the Poison King's poison, Ma Benwei wouldn't have died if Qiao Yu hadn't beaten him so badly.
Then again, if Ma Benwei hadn't tried to capture Qiao Yu, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly.
If you really wanted to figure it out, the whole thing was a muddled mess.
After Qiao Yu told Yang Xiangdi and Shen Jian Shu the truth, the two looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"If you really can't contact Ma Fei, then let's go back to Kyoto first. This kind of misunderstanding can only be resolved later," Shen Jian Shu said, shaking his head.
"Yeah, Yu-ge, Zhao Ziyue is with Ma Fei. Just wait for his emotions to stabilize... He probably doesn't want to see you right now."
Yang Xiangdi smiled wryly and handed the Toulong Sword (Penetrating Dragon Sword) to Qiao Yu.
Looking at the Toulong Sword, Qiao Yu was silent. This was the first B-grade equipment he had obtained in the Reverse World.
"Whether he wants to see me or not, I will definitely bring Ma Fei back!" Qiao Yu took the Toulong Sword from Yang Xiangdi's hand, his eyes full of determination.
Whether Ma Fei resented him or hated him, he at least had to let Ma Fei know the truth.
Before leaving, Shen Jian Shu sent a large number of undead creatures to search Sucheng, but in the end, they still couldn't find Ma Fei and Zhao Ziyue.
Helpless, the three could only set off back to Kyoto.
Fang Biao and the other two, who had left first, had already arrived at Kyoto University with Ji Pingyang, who was unconscious.
As soon as they landed, the Wuzu Bird (Footless Bird) crashed to the ground, shattering into bone fragments all over the place.
The moment they arrived, Mo Qingchou instantly opened her eyes.
"Three Saint-level?!" A hint of apprehension flashed in Mo Qingchou's eyes. When did Saint-level become so common?
Mo Qingchou prepared for battle, silently appearing behind Fang Biao.
If the other party harbored malicious intent, then she was fully confident in taking one of them down first!
Then, when she saw the charcoal-like figure lying on the ground, Mo Qingchou was directly stunned.
"Who?!"
Fang Biao turned his head sharply. He only noticed Mo Qingchou behind him the moment her emotions fluctuated.
Fang Biao broke out in a cold sweat. Kyoto University was actually hiding such a terrifying existence?
Today, Mo Qingchou was wearing a dormitory aunt's uniform and hadn't put on any makeup. She looked very different from the mature woman she had been that day, so it was no wonder that Fang Biao didn't recognize her.
"Who did this?"
Mo Qingchou's tone was as cold as an iceberg, making it hard to imagine how much killing intent was hidden in her heart.
"Um, Madam, don't get excited! It's more important to save Principal Ji first. Qiongqi, hurry up and get the thing out!" Fang Biao urged the man with the eagle on his shoulder.
Then, Qiongqi quickly took out a very delicate scale.
"Eternal Balance?! You're from the Reverse World Official?" Mo Qingchou instantly recognized the scale.
"Phew! It'll be easier if you know it's the Eternal Balance!"
Fang Biao breathed a sigh of relief, then took the Eternal Balance from Qiongqi's hand and gently placed it on the ground.
Then, he lifted Ji Pingyang's remaining left hand and placed it on one side of the Eternal Balance.
"Um, Madam…" Fang Biao didn't know what to call Mo Qingchou, and he didn't dare to ask because Mo Qingchou looked extremely scary at the moment. "The rule of the Eternal Balance is equivalent exchange. If you want to save Principal Ji…"
"No need for nonsense, I'll do it!"
Mo Qingchou directly interrupted Fang Biao, unhesitatingly pressing her hand on the other side of the Eternal Balance.
Fang Biao was also taken aback by Mo Qingchou's attitude. He took a deep breath and said slowly.
"You have to think clearly. Principal Ji's injuries are extremely serious right now! The consequences of equivalent exchange… you might die! Even if you don't die, your lifespan will be greatly reduced, because a person's life force is limited!"
"What nonsense? Hurry up and save him! If you keep yapping, I'll kill you first!" Mo Qingchou's eyes flashed fiercely.
Fang Biao wisely shut his mouth and then channeled his power into it.
The golden magic patterns instantly lit up, exceptionally dazzling.
Mo Qingchou clearly felt her life force slowly draining away, flowing in the direction of Ji Pingyang on the opposite side.
Mo Qingchou looked at Ji Pingyang's closed eyes and revealed a gratified smile, murmuring in a low voice.
"Ji Pingyang, perhaps using my life to save you can be considered a kind of relief for me. My love for you is no less than my sister's!"
But the next moment, Mo Qingchou's smile froze on her face.
Because that extremely rich life energy was not absorbed into Ji Pingyang's body, but flowed back into Mo Qingchou's body.
"What's going on?!" Mo Qingchou stared at Fang Biao, as if she wanted to devour him.
"This… I understand!" Fang Biao slapped his thigh. "The Eternal Balance requires both parties to be willing to exchange. The current situation… is that Principal Ji doesn't want to absorb your life force."
Mo Qingchou's eyebrows furrowed together.
He's injured like this and he can still reject her? Very well, worthy of the man she, Mo Qingchou, has set her sights on.
"You continue to operate the Eternal Balance, I'll take care of this!"
Mo Qingchou slowly crouched down next to Ji Pingyang, reaching out a hand to gently stroke Ji Pingyang's severely burned face.
"Pingyang, I understand. You don't want to have any connection with me, and you don't want to owe me anything, which is why you don't want to use my life force to heal, right?"
"But have you thought about it? After my sister left, you're the only person I care about in this world. If you die too, then I, Mo Qingchou, will be all alone in this world."
The more Mo Qingchou spoke, the more sorrowful she became, but the next moment, her tone suddenly changed, becoming somewhat sinister.
"But since you insist on seeking death, then I respect your choice. After you die, I'll cremate you and dig my sister out of her grave, then mix your ashes together and carry them with me."
"Whenever I miss you both, I'll take a little of your ashes and brew tea, so I can taste the sweetness of your love. You shouldn't mind, right?"
As soon as Mo Qingchou finished speaking, Fang Biao witnessed a modern medical miracle!
Ji Pingyang, whose body was charred on one side and who only had a breath left to cling to life, actually sat up suddenly!
Fang Biao was so shocked that his mouth widened, the amplitude of his mouth wide enough to fit an egg.
Is this… the power of words?
