Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 350 - 350: Blackened Junior Sister (55)

"So, what do you plan to do after this?" Shu Ye asked.

"What do I plan to do after this... hmm..." Yue Ran left her words trailing off.

Yue Ran narrowed her eyes and quickly burst into a bright and dazzling smile. The clear and bright phoenix eyes were slightly bent into little lovely crescents, and they were so full of beautiful stars that Shu Ye was unable to take his eyes off of her.

"Naturally, it is nothing more than fighting and killing," Yue Ran said in a matter-of-fact tone, the smile on the corner of her mouth becoming more and more brilliant.

"Hahaha…" Shu Ye could not contain his joyous laughter. "So clear and concise."

As the three people were about to depart, Hai Bing Tu called out to Lan Jin twice, but there was no response, nor could she even spot the shadow of the plush ball. When she looked behind her, she was suddenly startled. It turned out that when Lan Jin was actively playing in the pile of snow lotus, he accidentally ate the blue spirit lotus used to maintain the spiritual formation at the center of the underground room. Following that, his cultivation level inevitably soared.

With a low hum, Lan Jin walked closer to the group. He held a glowing object in his mouth and then threw it into Yue Ran's arms, as if offering a treasure. Yue Ran took a look at it and saw that it was a round bead emanating a faint blue glittery light.

"This is… an Ice Glazed Bead?" Hai Bing Tu remarked before providing further details, "The Ice Glazed Bead is a sacred object of the sect, which can only be kept by the close relatives of the sect leader or the sect leader himself."

After hearing this, Shu Ye asked, "Can you let me take a closer look at it?"

Yue Ran had no doubts about the hidden intentions of the young man since she sensed no malice. She simply pinched the bead in front of his eyes and showed it to him.

"This bead…" Shu Ye uttered thoughtfully after examining its features up close. "This similar bead has also appeared on the table in the study of the former Prime Minister. As for the reason behind its appearance, it was said that he had gotten it from the western region."

"Impossible! The Ice Glazed Bead is the sacred object of the Exalted Sea Sect!" Hai Bing Tu gave a hard scowl. "How can the sacred bead be an object from the western region?!"

"It seems like the young lady is very angry," Shu Ye commented. "It must be that old thing who had come up with such a weak excuse in a moment of panic when asked from where the bead came from."

"The former Prime Minister of the Imperial City... Oh, I have gotten a good idea," Yue Ran said. "Since that bead is ours in the first place, then we should go and get it back."

At that moment, the golden light of the fire spirits that were caught in the young woman's eyes burned stronger.

Shu Ye said, blinking, "Although I have a crush on you, I have something important to do and cannot accompany you in this endeavor. Beautiful young lady, you might as well take these thousand paper cranes with you. If you need something from me, you can light one up. I will come straight to you even if I am thousands of miles away."

An ordinary individual would subconsciously feel an indescribable deep emotion when the young man, who normally seemed to always be in a leisurely mood, suddenly turned serious. Unfortunately, Yue Ran is not an ordinary individual. She gave him a nonchalant nod at his words and threw the Ice Glazed Bead and those thousand paper cranes into her spatial ring.

"Beautiful young lady, is your heart made of iron?" Shu Ye asked, looking visibly disheartened before he resumed smiling. "Yet I have never seen you look so beautiful."

"Your mouth is really sweet," Yue Ran remarked, squinting her eyes slightly. "Hai Bing Tu, let us go."

"Yes, my Lord," Hai Bing Tu answered without a pause.

The current top priority is to reunite with Long Yuan.

Yue Ran, Hai Bing Tu, and Lan Jin hurriedly rushed to the imperial city with that goal in mind. On the other hand, Long Yuan also relied on the soul sense between him and Yue Ran to get closer to her position while shaking off the pursuit on his tail.

On the way, Yue Ran experimented with the techniques she found in the Exalted Sea Sect and found that practicing one of the two breathing methods did not cause bone-eroding pain! Despite the fact that it was just a simple way to mobilize spiritual power, her spiritual sea was vast, and her foundation was excellent. Just regulating her breath could improve her strength!

Yue Ran: It was nearly an effortless and painless (at last!) way to increase my power.

In a bamboo forest south of the metropolis, Long Yuan finally succeeded in reuniting with Yue Ran. This was mainly because Yue Ran's cultivation level improved significantly, and as a result, the bond between the two grew deeper and deeper.

"Master, you... seem to have a strange fragrance on your body," Long Yuan remarked all of a sudden.

After seeing Yue Ran, Long Yuan felt relieved for some reason, as if some kind of longing in him had been soothed. Looking at those beautiful and familiar features made him feel particularly at ease.

Yue Ran blinked in confusion before something clicked in her mind. She now understood what the sword spirit meant by having a strange fragrance on her body.

"Oh, this smell is probably the fragrance from the scented incense sachet that Shu Ye used," Yue Ran said.

"It smells bad," Long Yuan unconsciously grumbled out, and when he reacted, he frowned again after realizing his thoughtless remark. "I apologize."
