C697 Kiss

The weight of the phrase "the balance of heaven and earth" is beyond description. Practicing the Sword Sacrificing Spell can actually alter this balance? Woo Zhengyang was utterly shocked. Although he had high hopes for the Sword Sacrificing Spell, causing a celestial phenomenon just upon reaching the Shape Gathering Stage seemed a bit exaggerated.

Others could only confirm that the celestial phenomenon was due to Woo Zhengyang, but they didn't know why. Based on the sword that appeared in the phenomenon, they believed it was related to his No Life Sword. As a result, the No Life Sword's reputation had grown beyond that of a typical King Rank weapon.

While King Rank weapons are rare, they do exist, especially in the vast world outside, filled with powerful individuals. The Heavenly Martial Sect is just a small area by comparison. However, no one had ever heard of a King Rank weapon causing a celestial phenomenon.

This led to much speculation about the No Life Sword. Some said that although it was a King Rank weapon, it could continuously grow stronger—No Life Sword, leaving no life in its wake, becoming more powerful with every life it took. Others believed it wasn't a King Rank weapon at all, nor even a royal artifact, but rather a legendary imperial weapon, a very powerful one at that. They thought this was why Woo Zhengyang's refining of it caused the celestial phenomenon.

Woo Zhengyang had no interest in correcting the outside speculations. It suited him just fine that people believed the phenomenon was due to the No Life Sword, rather than his own practice.

However, there was one person Woo Zhengyang couldn't deceive, and that was Loong Zhiwu, who also possessed a No Life weapon.

To outsiders, King Rank weapons seemed incredibly mysterious, and they assumed it took Woo Zhengyang a long time to refine it. But Loong Zhiwu, who wielded the No Life Bow, knew better. Although these weapons were of the King Rank, they were likely just ordinary King Rank weapons, not as enigmatic as people thought.

Woo Zhengyang was confident that Loong Zhiwu wouldn't reveal this secret.

As the crowd dispersed, Loong Zhiwu stayed behind. Bing Yue, sensing the moment, gave Woo Zhengyang a playful wink and left.

"That phenomenon just now..."

"I know it wasn't caused by the No Life Sword, and I know you have a significant secret. You don't need to tell me!"

Woo Zhengyang was about to explain the strange occurrence, but Loong Zhiwu interrupted him.

"I..."

Once again, Woo Zhengyang tried to speak, only to be interrupted!

This time, it was Loong Zhiwu's vibrant red lips that silenced him, kissing him without any warning.

Woo Zhengyang was taken aback by Loong Zhiwu's sudden move. Although he'd been kissed on the cheek by Rice, Huo'er, and Yun'er in playful moments, this was his first time sharing such an intimate kiss with a woman.

Even though Woo Zhengyang didn't quite understand why Loong Zhiwu was so forward with a kiss, he wasn't about to question it. When the girl of your dreams kisses you, why wouldn't you respond?

Loong Zhiwu, despite her bold move, clearly lacked experience in kissing. After their lips met, she froze, her eyes tightly shut, and her body trembled slightly with nerves.

Woo Zhengyang was just as inexperienced, but some things come naturally to a guy. Feeling her soft lips quiver, he chuckled inwardly and gently captured one of her lips, savoring its delicate sweetness.

This made Loong Zhiwu tremble even more, and she seemed to want to pull away. But Woo Zhengyang wasn't about to let her retreat. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close, and moved to her other lip.

Her body gave a sudden shiver, and she clung tightly to his arm, but she didn't pull back any further. Though her grip on his arm was painfully tight, Woo Zhengyang didn't notice, too focused on enjoying her lips and preparing for another advance.

Just then, Loong Zhiwu seemed to remember something. She opened her eyes and leaned back slightly.

Woo Zhengyang, though reluctant, couldn't resist the moment.

Their lips parted, and they locked eyes. Loong Zhiwu's cheeks were slightly flushed, her lips even more enticing after Woo Zhengyang's prolonged kiss. As he gazed at her lips, he couldn't help but swallow, silently chastising himself for not being more assertive. He wondered when he'd get another chance to continue his advances.

"Not here, you troublemaker!"

Just as Woo Zhengyang was feeling frustrated, Loong Zhiwu's words nearly made him jump. Not here? Did that mean somewhere else was okay?

"She must be shy, worried someone might see us. That has to be it!" Woo Zhengyang thought excitedly. While he didn't mind being seen kissing, Loong Zhiwu was, after all, a girl.

The nearest place was the cave at Heavenly Death Peak. Woo Zhengyang took Loong Zhiwu's hand and led her inside.

"Is this spot okay?" Woo Zhengyang asked with a playful grin once they were inside.

"Troublemaker." Loong Zhiwu gave him a gentle shove, then waved her hand, setting up several array flags at the cave entrance.

Woo Zhengyang was speechless. Wasn't this a bit too cautious? Setting up an array, really?

To his further surprise, after setting up the barrier, Loong Zhiwu wasn't done. She even brought out a palace-like artifact.

The artifact was somewhat similar to Lee Yuanye's white jade pavilion, though noticeably smaller, about the size of a single house when it landed on the ground.

"Come in!" Loong Zhiwu turned to Woo Zhengyang and said, leading the way inside.

Woo Zhengyang was taken aback. Wasn't this a bit too extravagant for just a kiss? But at this point, he didn't dare to argue and stepped into Loong Zhiwu's palace artifact.

As expected, the interior was a simple room, much smaller than Lee Yuanye's white jade pavilion. But that was understandable, considering Lee Yuanye's pavilion was an ancient relic, and there weren't many like it. Loong Zhiwu having something like this was already impressive.

Despite its size, the room held a greater allure for Woo Zhengyang because every detail was infused with Loong Zhiwu's essence, almost like it was her private chamber. He took a careful look around.

The first thing that caught Woo Zhengyang's eye was an intricately carved vanity. He wasn't particularly interested in the vanity itself, but what drew his attention were the two embroidered silk tapestries hanging on the walls on either side.

Woo Zhengyang never imagined that Loong Zhiwu would be interested in embroidery. What surprised him even more was that the figures on the two embroidered silk pieces, standing proudly in their ancient robes with swords, were unmistakably himself!
