Chapter 324: 324
The next day .
The fiery-red sun seemed to slowly rise from the surface of the reservoir . As its rays shined down, the mist covering the reservoir seemed to retreat slightly .
Dong! Dong!
The loud sound of a bell rang across the area, echoing in every corner of the Genesis reservoir .
The entire reservoir seemed to come alive the instant it was heard, as countless glowing figures rose into the air and began leaving the reservoir .
Ten days had passed . The disciples that had entered the Genesis reservoir to search for Dragon Genesis Essence were naturally itching to leave and enjoy the effects of the Genesis Marrow Baptism .
After all, their ten days of hard work was all for this moment .
In the stone pavilion, Zhou Yuan’s eyes slowly cracked open, only to be greeted by the sight of two beautiful figures lying on the left and right side of the table in front of him . Their fine black hair hung from their heads, the outline of their enchanting curves made visible by their clothes .
Both of their faces were like warm jade, and currently appeared slightly flushed due to drinking too much . The usual coldness and indifference was no longer present, making them appear extremely adorable .
However, while Zhou Yuan was watching them with interest, Li Qingchan’s eyes suddenly opened . The dazed look in the depths of her eyes lasted for several breaths, before she abruptly sat up straight, iciness returning to her eyes as she glared at Zhou Yuan .
“Haha, you’re awake?” Zhou Yuan chuckled . “You were actually quite cute earlier . ”
The pretty face that had just regained its frosty look immediately blushed as Li Qingchan sent a vicious glare at Zhou Yuan . “If you dare to speak of what happened last night, I’ll kill you!”
Zhou Yuan smiled helplessly . She was acting as if they had done something unspeakable last night .
Li Qingchan regained control of her feelings as she also sent a vicious glare at Yaoyao . The former had no idea what kind of spell the latter had put her under, the slightest provocation would make her lose her usual cool, and become hell bent on finding out who was better .
Spending the entire night drinking was something incomprehensible to the Li Qingchan of the past .
In comparison, Zhou Yuan felt like he understood . It was mainly because both girls were proud and cold, possessed both beauty and presence that far exceeded the ordinary, and also rather strong-willed and competitive .
Thus, neither party was willing to show any weakness in front of the other, and Yaoyao had made use of this to achieve the desired effect whenever she provoked Li Qingchan .
“You guys can leave the Genesis reservoir first . ” Li Qingchan rose to her feet, frowning when she realised she stank of alcohol, thoughts of taking a bath immediately rising within her .
Just as she was about to leave, she took another look at Zhou Yuan, the iciness in her eyes no longer present as she said, “It’s mostly thanks to you this time . ”
She was naturally referring to the Dragon Genesis Essence crystal she had obtained . Without Zhou Yuan’s help, both she and Kong Sheng would have returned empty handed .
“We merely made use of each other . Without senior sister Li, I would not have obtained this Genesis Dragon Essence crystal either . ” Zhou Yuan smiled .
Li Qingchan knew that Zhou Yuan was just being polite . After all, he would also have been able to hunt that thousand feet aquatic beast by borrowing Yaoyao’s power .
The initial bias she had against him due to their initial misunderstanding had already faded substantially over the past few days . If she were to be honest, she could feel that Zhou Yuan was indeed different from the rest .
“You should not undervalue yourself . You’re clearly only a gold sash disciple, but you’ve managed to reach the eight dragon blessing on your first time entering the Genesis reservoir . No one in this generation of the Cangxuan Sect has even done so . ”
Li Qingchan looked towards Zhou Yuan, her red lips parting slightly as she continued, “At the very least, even Chu Qing only had the chance to reach the eight dragon blessing after becoming a Chosen . In this aspect, you’ve already far surpassed him . ”
She turned around and left immediately before her last word faded .
Zhou Yuan gazed in surprise at her leaving figure, clearly not expecting such words of consolation and encouragement from her, especially given how cold and unapproachable she was .
“It seems that she has high hopes for you . To think that she’s even used Chu Qing to compliment you . ”
While Zhou Yuan was surprised, a lazy voice was heard . He turned his head to see Yaoyao stretching, before placing a fair hand on her cheek as she looked at him in amusement .
Zhou Yuan smiled helplessly . “It doesn’t mean anything . ”
The reason why he had been able to achieve an eight dragon blessing on his first time in the Genesis reservoir was due to the special characteristics of the Omni Python Qi . Therefore, it was naturally nothing to be proud of, and he should never believe that it would give him the right to disregard the Cangxuan Sect’s Chosens .
“At least that small compliment didn’t fry your brain cells, and you still understand your worth . ”
