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

No. Impossible. Although they had only known each other for a fairly brief period of time, Zhou Weiqing was still able to tell what type of a person Dongfang Hanyue was. She was very intelligent, but she wasn’t very rational. In fact, she was a very emotional person… and she really did like him.

When he thought of this, another possible flickered through his mind. Could it be… that Dongfang Hanyue was afraid of losing him and also afraid that he would refuse her request to stay behind, and so she had imprisoned Bing’er and was there waiting for him to go back and find her?

Yes. This was entirely possible. A bitter smile appeared on Zhou Weiqing’s face as he felt a sense of powerlessness. He slapped himself, hard. “Oh, Zhou Little Fatty. This is your fault. You sow the seeds of love wherever you go. Now, even Bing’er is in trouble because of it. I can’t stay here, I need to go to Xuantian Palace immediately. As the saying goes, ‘rivals in love can be deadly foes’. What if Hanyue can’t resist taking action against Bing’er? That’ll be troublesome.”

When he thought about Shangguan Bing’er possibly being injured, Zhou Weiqing began to panic even more. However, he was still a person who had experienced many things. He knew that given his current state, even if he returned he wouldn’t necessarily achieve his goals. He had to at least recover and reach peak condition first.

He walked over to the table, picked up the food the maiden had given him, and began to eat.

The most common food in a fishing village was, naturally, fish. Although the fresh fish soup wasn’t exquisitely made, it was still extremely tasty. Mix in a few grains and vegetables and it made for a sumptuous meal. Alas, Zhou Weiqing didn’t have any appetite at all. Even the finest of foods tasted like ash in his mouth.

He wolfed down the food, then immediately returned to the bed and sat down to meditate, entering the cultivation state.

One of his Saint Energy’s finest properties was that he didn’t really need to worry about being disturbed. He could end his cultivation state whenever he wanted, and so he didn’t go out to tell that maiden not to disturb him. He needed to return to peak condition as soon as possible, then go rescue Bing’er.

The Saint Energy in his body began to circulate. Zhou Weiqing wasn’t sure how he was supposed to replenish his mental energies, but he was certain of one thing – his Saint Energy could do anything.

His belief was verified. As the thirty-six Death Acupuncture Points in his body had reached the thirty-eighth stage, his Saint Energy had only become even purer. As it circulated through his body, it constantly reduced the pain from the headache he was suffering.

This was Zhou Weiqing’s first cultivation session after reaching the thirty-eighth stage. He realized that the Saint Energy in his body had increased markedly. On the whole, it had become even purer than before.





Chapter 255: Don’t Make Me Bathe The Xuantian Citadel In Blood! (1)


The Saint Energy didn’t start flowing that rapidly but even the slightest fluctuation had a great attraction towards the external atmospheric energy. He could feel his cultivation increasing bit by bit. During this process, the atmospheric energies were transforming into Saint Energy while continuing to compress into astral form.

This process couldn’t be considered fast but the majority of Heavenly Jewel Masters in the nine continents would dream about something like this.

Zhou Weiqing has been meditating for one day already. When he opened his eyes the second time, his spirit had been rejuvenated.

The room had been cleaned up, with a new meal ready. Weiqing showed no reservation and quickly ate before leaving behind the payment. He didn’t say goodbye to the fishing girl. After leaving the room, he decided on a direction before leaping up and unleashed his Dragon-Tiger wings before heading towards the Xuantian Palace at maximum speed.

How could he not be anxious when Shangguan Bing’er’s life was on the line? In his mind, the Spatial Teleportation Gem was nothing compared to her well being. Nothing was more important than her in his mind.

Xuantian Citadel, seventh level.

The upper echelons of the palace were seated. However, the atmosphere was quite somber at this moment.

This time, Dongfang Hanyue sat in the master seat while her dazzlingly beautiful middle-aged mother, the previous ‘Palace Master’, was sitting where ‘Dreamwake’ used to.

Dongfang Hanyue had just recently returned after receiving the news.

After Weiqing became unconscious, she originally wanted to bring him back to the palace. However, the moment she returned to the Xuantian Continent, she heard the news from the palace.

Her mother and the Grand Elders all returned. Of course, they first subdued and captured Shangguan Bing’er. This was the important reason why Weiqing couldn’t contact her.

The palace also has an item similar to the long-range voice transmission gem. Hanyue’s mother, Dong Fang, used this item to confirm Hanyue’s safety as well as telling her that they had contained Bing’er.

Hanyue was naturally worried and told her mother to release Bing’er. Alas, she was refused. She didn’t dare to bring Zhou Weiqing back and so she had to leave him behind in the fishing village and ran back herself to deal with this matter. Even though she didn’t know the extent of the relationship between those two, Bing’er was still Zhou Weiqing’s woman! If Bing’er was hurt in the palace, Weiqing would probably immediately turn against her. This wasn’t the development she wanted to see.

As a result, Weiqing guess wasn’t quite correct. It couldn’t be, given the complexity of the situation.

“Release Shangguan Bing’er right now!” Hanyue commanded without hesitation.

The Water Elder slightly frowned, “Palace Master, you need to calm down first. We need to discuss this more.”

Dongfang Hanyue furiously stated, “What else is there to talk about?! Not only is Zhou Weiqing a Consecrated of our palace while Bing’er is an Elder, the fact is that during our moment of greatest peril, Zhou Weiqing came and saved all of us. We shouldn’t be treating him like this.”

The Water Elder sighed and said, “Yes, Zhou Weiqing did save us. But Palace Master, have you thought about it? Why did this Zhou Weiqing try to hide his power so much? Moreover, none of us were able to detect it. Why is that, and what was the technique used back then? Even a Heavenly God expert’s aura was suppressed by him. That technique might not be an offensive one, but it does reveal that he had the power to threaten us.”

“How old is he? Only around twenty, yet he is already at the nine-Jeweled level and has a type of strange Heavenly Energy. You can’t tell me that there is nothing odd going on here. Moreover, he isn’t the same as you, having inherited a legacy. I’m afraid he had other plans in joining us. While it’s true that we are indebted to him, for the sake of the palace I really must ask you to think it through. We must carefully investigate this matter and wait until Zhou Weiqing returns before making a decision. Shangguan Bing’er is an important card we now hold. And, don’t worry. We are not mistreating her.”

Hanyue’s expression became quite unsightly, fluctuating between red and white. She had to admit that the elders were right, since she knew what he had come for. However, if he actually returned, would the elders spare him? What should I do now? How do I deal with this?

“Who gave the order to put Shangguan Bing’er under house arrest? You all dared to be so bold in my absence?” Dongfang Hanyue’s voice was quite awe-inspiring, and she had a murderous glint in her eyes. Her mind was slightly disordered at this moment since she still hadn’t decided how she should handle the issues between her and Weiqing. And now, something like this had happened at the palace?

“It was me.” Dong Fang, who had been quiet the whole time, finally spoke with a serious tone.
