Seven Deadly Sins System-Chapter 244: Side Story(2): Li Ruoshi’s Worries

On top of the Heartless Peak, an aura that seemed to have surpassed the Qi Accumulation Realm but had not yet reached the Shackles Realm spread around, spreading throughout the mountain.

As time went on, this aura became increasingly stronger, until it reached a certain point as if its owner had broken through an invisible barrier.

"Boom!"

The aura swept around the Heartless Peak, but thankfully, the formation that had been previously arranged protected the buildings as well as the weaker disciples.

A split second later, the aura retreated back and completely disappeared.

However, the people who lived at the Heartless Peak were all cultivators and they had all sensed this aura in the split second that it had appeared.

"Someone has broken through the Shackles Realm!"

"Who is it? Who is so lucky?"

The voices of the newly recruited disciples echoed in the mountain and it was obvious that they were all very curious about the disciple who managed to break through.

However, when these disciples traced the source of the previous aura and found that it was coming off the residence of the Heartless Peak's Owner, they took their perceptions back and didn't dare to investigate any further.

Without saying a word, the disciples glanced at each other faintly and as if they had reached an agreement, they rushed back to continue what they were doing before as if nothing had happened.

****

Inside the pavilion, Chu Wuyao didn't care about the reactions of the disciples outside and didn't show up nor send anyone to calm them down.

At this time, her mind was focused on something else.

"Ruan Yi has finally broken through.", she smiled slightly and whispered, and the next second, her figure flashed out of the cultivation room.

When she reappeared, she arrived in a large hall and lowered her head to look at the cross-legged woman who was sitting on the floor.

The woman had short brown hair and wore a short white dress, and her eyes were closed tightly as she was fully focused on checking her body after her breakthrough.

Since Chu Wuyao had lowered her presence and made no noise at all, Ruan Yi failed to notice her arrival at first.

It was not until a few minutes later when Ruan Yi was done investigating her body and she opened her eyes that she finally noticed her.

As she looked at her, the already happy eyes of Ruan Yi became even happier and without any hesitation, she jumped up and rushed towards her.

Appearing in front of her, she wrapped her hands around Chu Wuyao's waist, before she lowered her head against her chest.

"Sister Chu, did you see? I didn't let you down!"

"I succeeded in my breakthrough!", Ruan Yi spoke happily but it was unknown whether the source of her happiness was her breakthrough or something else.

Feeling Ruan Yi's body rub against her own, Chu Wuyao reached behind her and patted her lightly on the back.

"That's right. Good job.", she praised her and although she didn't show it on her face, she was also quite happy.

The addition of another Shackles Realm cultivator to her team was actually quite worthless and wouldn't bring her much help, but there was an aspect of Ruan Yi's breakthrough that made her very satisfied.

That aspect was the increase in her lifespan.

Even though Ruan Yi was a Qi Accumulation Realm cultivator before, her lifespan wasn't much different from that of ordinary people and was only slightly higher.

But now that she had reached the Shackles Realm, her lifespan had significantly improved and she could easily live for hundreds of years.

This meant that Ruan Yi could accompany Chu Wuyao for a very long time and Chu Wuyao didn't have to worry about her running out of lifespan and dying prematurely.

Snuggling in her arms, Ruan Yi didn't know what Chu Wuyao was thinking.

When she heard her praise and felt the delicate hand touching her back, she suddenly remembered some images that had been engraved in her memories and her cheeks turned a little red.

However, although embarrassed, these images made her quite excited.

With that in mind, Ruan Yi tried to muster up her courage and stared at Chu Wuyao's eyes, before she tiptoed and brought her face to the same height as hers.

Then, she leaned forward and locked her lips, while her hand reached out for Chu Wuyao's and led it into her dress.

Chu Wuyao was slightly surprised to see her take the initiative, but the current circumstances didn't allow her to think for long.

Following Ruan Yi's advances, she reciprocated her kiss, while her hand began moving down, tracing against her smooth skin.

Not long after, the sound of heavy breathing and loud moans spread in the pavilion.

****

A few hours later, Ruan Yi stumbled out of the pavilion and although her appearance looked the same as always, her red face and her trembling legs made it obvious that something had happened.

Once outside, she couldn't help but fidget and look around, and it was only when she saw that Yue Zhilan had left and there were no other disciples around the pavilion that she was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, no one is here...", Ruan Yi thought but she knew very well that now was not the time to stay here.

After all, if anyone were to come here at this moment and were to see her current state, she felt that she would die from embarrassment.

Thinking of this, she checked once again and confirmed that there was no one around, and then, she took off and flew away, urging her Mana with all her strength to increase her speed of flight.

Before long, the figure of Ruan Yi had completely disappeared from the top of the Heartless Peak.

However, what Ruan Yi didn't notice was that there was a person who had watched her "battle" with Chu Wuyao, as well as her subsequent escape.

To be more accurate, the spectator was not a real person, but a Magic Weapon.

"Ruan Yi...", Li Ruoshi gritted her teeth as she watched Ruan Yi's leaving figure, while a faint murderous intent flashed in her eyes and she considered whether to attack her.

Although Li Ruoshi had already become witness to Chu Wuyao's "adventures" with Ruan Yi in the past, at the time, the two had just fought and she still regarded Chu Wuyao as her enemy.

Even though she was angry, that was because she felt that Chu Wuyao was humiliating her by making her watch her have fun with her best friend.

But by now, Li Ruoshi's relationship with Chu Wuyao had eased and the two had made up, turning from enemies into something else.

As such, the emotion that Li Ruoshi felt while watching Chu Wuyao have fun with Ruan Yi was still anger, but this time, this anger was different.

It took a few minutes for Li Ruoshi to calm down and for her murderous intent to disappear, and in the end, she decided against taking action against Ruan Yi.

This was not because she thought of the two's previous friendship, but because she knew very well that Chu Wuyao would never let her hurt Ruan Yi.

Thinking of the punishment she would receive if she were to try such a thing, the transparent body of Li Ruoshi trembled.

The fact that her body trembled even though she was a Weapon Spirit made obvious just how scared she was of Chu Wuyao.

In fact, the person who knew Chu Wuyao best was not her first partner, Ruan Yi, her biggest "fan", Xia Qianyue, or her Devil pet, Cthulhu, but Li Ruoshi.

Even though the two had only come into contact later, Li Ruoshi had spent more time than anyone else with her and had seen her true face.

"Chu Wuyao appears to be kind, gentle, and considerate, but this is only when people don't offend her or threaten her interests."

"Once someone offends her or threatens her interests, they'll have to face her true self."

"She... She is so indifferent... So ruthless...So cruel... Like a demon that has disguised themselves as a human..."

At times, Li Ruoshi had the illusion that Chu Wuyao's external appearance and her attitude towards others were merely a disguise and her true self was an emotionless machine.

Thinking of this, Li Ruoshi's body began trembling again, but this time, it was because of her excitement.

Her blue eyes flashed with a hint of desire and her body felt hot, as she wanted to rush into the pavilion and act like Ruan Yi had just done.

But in the end, she restrained herself.

Lowering her head, she looked at herself and when she glanced at her transparent, immaterial body, she couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"If only I had a real body, everything would be easy.", she thought and Xia Qianyue's words constantly rang in her mind.

"A mere Magic Weapon can't have a relationship with a human.", Li Ruoshi whispered and although reluctant, she still knew that this was true.

Thinking of this, she took one last glance at the pavilion and the Blood Flag below her body turned around, as she was about to fly away and leave this place.

However, suddenly, a small gap opened in the door of the pavilion and a delicate hand poked out of this gap.

The hand looked ordinary and harmless but it possessed some strange power that made it impossible for Li Ruoshi to dodge.

"Eeep!", a surprised squeal came out of Li Ruoshi's mouth as she instinctively tried to break free, but the hand didn't seem to care about her opinion.

Holding the flagpole tightly, it pulled both the Blood Flag and Li Ruoshi in.

With their entrance, the pavilion's door closed shut yet again.
