Aiding My Queen With My System - Chapter 35

Chapter 35 The Martial Emperor’s Skeleton Revived?!

He had thought that he and Ji Rui had been secretive enough about their movements and should not have been discovered by the Waidai He couple. He only understood now, would it have been the Profound Mystery Bead that had exposed their tracks?

What a strange story.

He was still wondering about the method Weidai He had used to prevent Ji Rui from discovering that they were trailing behind.

Now that he thought about it, the couple would have been using the Profound Mystery Bead to view everything that was happening so that they could make their entrance when everything was done and dusted. The couple then happened to appear during the moment the flood dragon threw out the saber and decided to take the chance to snatch the treasure…

Was it really worth it to use the Profound Mystery Bead to exchange for such an anxious and arrogant ordinary person with no cultivation?

Chu Feng could not understand it, but since he had already obtained the Profound Mystery Bead, he might as well fulfill his promise and return Yan Bang to Weidai He.

Weidai He quickly used her spiritual power to push away the seawater beside Yan Bang and pulled him back to her side.

Upon sensing the hand on his waist, Yan Bang felt even more ashamed.

He had clearly promised Weidai He that he could definitely take good care of himself and also restrain Chu Feng to buy time for her.

Who knew…

Shamefaced, he took Weidai He’s hand and buried his blushing face into her shoulder.

“He’er, I’m sorry I was captured by that guy as soon as we faced each other.”

Yan Bang’s heart tightened again and again but in the end, he did not reveal the fact that Chu Feng was actually a warrior. Chu Feng’s warning when grabbing his throat just now still echoed in his ears.

What were his thoughts at the time?

If Chu Feng really accidentally strangled him to death, would He’er find another lover?

After all, a warrior’s life was so long and he was just an old friend in that long life. If He’er happened to bump into other talented men, she would completely forget about him…

Just thinking about that made Yan Bang feel suffocated.

Therefore, he had admitted defeat without much struggle, with the sole hope that Chu Feng would spare his life.

Seeing that Yan Bang was in a daze, Weidai He asked nervously, “Are you injured?”

“No.”

He sounded bitter. Other than the bruises on his neck, there were no other injuries.

“He’er, will you blame me for being useless?”

Weidai He examined his entire body to make sure there were no other injuries before she relaxed.

“I don’t care about the outcome. All I ask is that you survive safely.”

Her voice was firm, making Yan Bang feel less worried.

The Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon kept spewing out black gas from its nostrils. It was obvious that it was getting impatient.

“Now that you have the treasure, it’s time to give me that pearl.”

Chu Feng’s eyes were clouded and he did not move.

Just as the Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon thought that he was about to go back on his word, Ji Rui said, “Now that we have the Profound Mystery Bead, the Water Repelling Pearl is useless to us, so there’s no harm in giving it away.”

With her Martial Sage cultivation, Ji Rui did not need the Water Repelling Pearl to move freely under the sea pressure. The Water Repelling Pearl was originally prepared for Chu Feng.

He listened to her and threw the Water Repelling Pearl in his hand in the direction of the Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon.

The Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon opened its mouth wide and held the Water Repelling Pearl lightly in its mouth. After obtaining the pearl, there was a great improvement in its mood.

It had been jittery the entire time, worried that Chu Feng would make use of the fact that it was still trapped to mislead it and cheat it of a treasure.

After Chu Feng threw out the Water Repelling Pearl, he immediately said, “I’ve already fulfilled my promise. It’s time for you to give me the other treasure!”

The Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon readily did as it was asked. It wrapped its long tail around the white jade gourd and threw it towards Chu Feng in the distance.

Chu Feng immediately caught it steadily.

He did not know if it was his imagination, but he felt that there was something strange about the white jade gourd.

It did not feel like a piece of jade in his hand, but it had the weight of something metallic. Yan Bang’s eyes lit up. He called out to Chu Feng, who was about to put the gourd away, “Brother Chu Feng, I’ve never seen such a treasure. Why don’t you open it and let all of us see what the senior Martial Emperor has up his sleeve?”

Although he did not say it out loud, everyone knew that it was very likely that the gourd contained Heaven and Earth Origin Energy.

Unfortunately, the two of them had failed. Otherwise, this white jade gourd would not have landed in Chu Feng’s hands.

Chu Feng even had two treasures to protect himself. They had no chance of winning even if they tried again and could only eye the gourd that he was holding.

Ji Rui also said curiously, “Let’s see what’s inside.”

They have gone through so much to obtain the gourd. They need to know whether the gourd contained Heaven and Earth Origin Energy

Chu Feng frowned secretly. These people seemed to be very interested in his white jade gourd?

Aye, I’ll have to show it to my wife sooner or later.

He grasped the stopper of the jade gourd and pulled it out. With a soft pop, the gourd was opened.

Before they could figure things out, a strange smoke came out of the gourd.

It did not dissipate in the water and the few of them did not know what it was. The green smoke floated towards the skeleton in the cave.

In an instant, the green smoke was sucked clean by the jade skeleton!

Chu Feng rubbed his eyes. If he was not mistaken, the cracks on the bones seemed to be slowly healing and it actually looked a little alive…

As the green smoke slowly flowed towards the skeleton, there seemed to be spiritual energy circulating among the bones. In fact, this fluctuation was getting stronger and stronger.

A huge vortex was created in the surrounding seawater. Even the Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon, which was weighed down by the heavy chains, could not avoid being swept into it.

The jade skeleton sat at the center of the vortex as a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation that sent a chill down everyone’s spine suddenly descended.

Ji Rui’s expression changed. If she did not guess wrongly, this was the powerful aura of a Martial Emperor!

Chu Feng also realized that the spiritual energy fluctuation in front of him was exactly the same as the one emitted by Ji Zheng that day. Before he could react, Ji Rui had already grabbed his hand and retreated.

On the other side, Weidai He also hurriedly activated her spiritual power and quickly retreated with Yan Bang, getting away from the vortex at the bottom of the sea.

The skeleton in the cave had stood up on its own. Its empty and dark eye sockets had long lost their eyeballs, but when its gaze landed on the four of them, it was so real and intense that it seemed almost corporeal.

It seemed that… the cracks on the skeleton had completely recovered.

In an instant, the restored jade skeleton disappeared from their view.

Chu Feng’s right eyelid was twitching non-stop. He subconsciously held his breath and waited for the next appearance of the skeleton.

In the time it took to take a breath, the terrifying skeleton appeared in front of him with its empty, dark eye sockets facing him.

Following the sudden appearance of the skeleton, it reached out to grab Ji Rui. It was so fast that it was impossible for them to react.
