Heavenly Jewel Change Volume 7 (Chapter 208-Chapter 258)

During the many days that followed, he had displayed incredible abilities in many different areas. Even though she herself was also acclaimed as a ‘genius’, she couldn’t help but feel a bit ashamed of her inferiority. If it wasn’t for her father’s legacy, she would probably be inferior to him in every way.

Finally, there came the day when that bad man actually took advantage of her as they leapt off the cliff. At first, for a very brief instant, she really did want to kill him. However, she just couldn’t do it. The excuse she gave was that she couldn’t kill a genius like him… but was the answer really as simple as that? The real answer was, he was the only man she had ever taken a liking to.

Perhaps young maidens would care more about a man’s physical appearance, but as the Xuantian Palace Lord, Dongfang Hanyue had seen far, far too many handsome men. The only thing she truly cared about were inner qualities. Although Zhou Weiqing had shown himself to be a pervert and a lecher, none of that was able to wipe away his absolutely astonishing talent.

For a long period of time after that, she had completely ignored Zhou Weiqing. It was partially because she was angry, but also because she felt a bit lost.

Perhaps it was when she took him into that separate Spatial region to spar with him that everything changed.

Dongfang Hanyue never would’ve imagined that she would end up losing a battle in what she believed to be the only area she surpassed Zhou Weiqing in. She had already been able to sense a portion of the power within Zhou Weiqing’s Bloodline, and the final Devour Skill had caused her to feel a sense of fear.

And so, she lost the bet. Even after what had just happened last night, she still wasn’t sure what she felt in her own heart. She had still been telling herself that she didn’t want to owe this fellow anything, and so she sacrificed her body to him.

Now, however, she knew the truth.

The moment she had first fallen for him was the moment when he had won their bet. When Zhou Weiqing had gained victory, he had also won something in her heart. However, what truly made her love him was his behavior when they had battled those two powerful Terror Sea Dragons. At the most dangerous moment, he didn’t hesitate at all to charge out and fight the second Terror Sea Dragon.

Sometimes, you only needed a single moment to fall in love with someone. That moment was the moment he had conquered her heart.

It didn’t always matter how a man normally behaved. If he could rise up and step forward at critical life-and-death moments to sacrifice himself for his woman, that meant he was a responsible man who was worthy of that woman’s love.

In that moment, Dongfang Hanyue had cried behind her mask. She finally knew her own heart. She knew that she had fallen for this bad man, and there was no way out.

Even after she saw him display a level of power that was beyond what she believed he possessed, and even after she realized why he had come to the Xuantian Continent, Dongfang Hanyue didn’t feel the slightest bit of anger towards him for his deceptions. Instead, she had only fallen even more madly in love with him.

He came here for the Spatial Teleportation Gem. There was no need for him to get involved at all. Even if he didn’t flee, he could just stand there and watch. When Dongfang Hanyue was forced to the brink, she would’ve had to use the Spatial Teleportation Gem and even would’ve tried to rescue him. That would’ve been the perfect moment to seize the gem.

But… he didn’t do that. He had chosen to do something incredibly stupid. After they had arrived here, he had even told her everything.

His actions definitely were not without risk. This was obvious from how that enormous thing he had summoned had instantly been destroyed. He had been gambling with his life! If the Terror Sea Dragon had attacked without pause, he probably wouldn’t have been able to survive.





Chapter 253: Let The Storm Rage Harder (3)


Was he actually a good person or a bad person? To Dongfang Hanyue, this no longer mattered. Even if she knew that there was no future for them, she didn’t hesitate to give herself to him. She had even purposefully put on that necklace.

When she thought back to the time they had spent together in recent months, crystalline tears began to slide down her fragrant, tender cheeks.

“You jerk. Will you even remember me after you go back? Why are things always so unfair. The most precious gift you gave me wasn’t this ‘Saint Energy’, it was the memories!”

Just as Dongfang Hanyue was murmuring to herself, her slender form suddenly shuddered. The grief in her eyes was instantly replaced with a sharp, murderous look.

“Not good!” She didn’t hesitate at all, instantly rising into the skies and unleashing the Tenebrous Demon Dragon Transformation. The vast dragon wings propelled her towards the direction Zhou Weiqing had taken at maximum speed.

……

After leaving the island, Zhou Weiqing had felt rather lost. To be honest, he really couldn’t bear to leave this place. Not only was he already missing Dongfang Hanyue’s body, he felt a heavy feeling in his heart that he couldn’t quite explain.

Possibly because he was feeling guilty, he didn’t immediately reach out to contact Shangguan Bing’er. He didn’t even pay attention to where he was headed. He simply flew dazedly through the skies.

After flying for a while, he suddenly sensed an utterly terrifying aura of power burst forth from the sea below him.

Zhou Weiqing’s reaction speed was quite fast, but this creature had clearly been building up power for quite some time. An enormous waterspout slammed straight into him, smashing him skyward.

At this moment, Zhou Weiqing’s tough natural defenses played a critical role once more in keeping him alive. He didn’t need to activate the Immortal Deity Shield, as it automatically sprang up to cover his body in a blurry field of golden light. At the same time, his silvery-white Saint Energy exploded out from his body.

This waterspout was created by Water Attribute energies. Even though the collision contained tremendous power and was formed by incredibly dense Water Attribute energies, as soon as it touched the Saint Energy it was partially dispelled. Only a remainder ended up slamming into Zhou Weiqing.

In the end, this waterspout simply contained too much energy. The collision actually blasted Zhou Weiqing over three thousand meters into the air, and he immediately vomited blood while flying upwards.

It didn’t seem as though the giant waterspout was going to let him off easily. It actually transformed midair to become a giant claw which latched onto him and began to viciously drag him down into the sea.

The waters below him had actually separated as the vast, 800-meter body of the second Terror Sea Dragon began to slowly rise upwards. Its savage spikes flickered with dark blue light, while its enormous eyes were filled with hatred.

Its elder brother had died. This had been a tremendous provocation for the Terror Sea Dragon. It had been blasted away by that terrifying explosion as well, and when it woke up it knew that it had been deceived by Zhou Weiqing. It had furiously swam back, but alas it found nothing save for the carcass of the self-detonated Terror Sea Dragon.

The Grand Elders of Xuantian Palace, including Dongfang Hanyue’s mother, had immediately fled after recovering from being blasted away. They had returned to the Xuantian Continent, precisely because they feared running into the other Terror Sea Dragon.

The Terror Sea Dragon had been swimming around for quite some time now, but it still didn’t dare to actually chase towards the continent itself.

In the end, the person it hated the most was probably Zhou Weiqing. If Zhou Weiqing hadn’t summoned that image of the Demon God to frighten it, it would’ve been able to reach the Tenebrous Sealing Formation and prevent its elder brother from dying.
