Chapter 167: Chapter 166: 10 Second Time Limit

Chapter 166: 10 Second Time Limit

’Huh?’

Luo Wusheng once again doubted the enhanced hearing that he has as a Golden Core level cultivator.

He even began to think that maybe after listening to what the Netherqueen had said about the secrets of the world earlier, he couldn’t help but let his mind wander, which had led to the birth of a mental demon and the creation of the illusion in front of him.

Otherwise, how could the tower master of the Heavenly Divination Tower, a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator, the one who manipulated things from behind the scenes, suddenly say something like this?

Although she appeared as a young girl, she’s probably one of the oldest beings in the world, older than even the Immortal Nation itself.

However—

“Nine Seconds.”

The voice, calm but as if suppressing something, gently sounded, making Luo Wusheng realize that his ears were not malfunctioning.

So, what exactly was going on here?

Luo Wusheng felt his thoughts become tangled, and the words spoken by Yue Xuanji a moment ago continued to echo in his mind.

His gaze instinctively turned to the white-haired loli who still had her head lowered.

“Eight Seconds.”

The girl’s voice remained calm.

At this moment, all the thoughts in Luo Wusheng’s mind were suppressed one by one. The urgency of the situation did not allow him to think too much or ask questions. He only had enough time to make one decision.

He looked at the small head with beautiful white hair before him.

Should he… pat her?

Obviously!

He had explored the entire body of the Tribulation Crossing stage Netherqueen, so why wouldn’t he be able to pat the head of this white-haired loli who was actively asking to be patted?

Moreover, he still owed this girl twenty pieces of Star-Moon jade. At least until he had finished paying off all 20 of them, this loli wouldn’t be killing him in advance, right?

Luo Wusheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

His hand slowly lifted, and as it moved through the strands of silver-white hair, he felt a slight chill, but it didn’t hinder his movement.

The hair felt extremely smooth.

His palm finally landed on the small head of the white-haired mesugaki.

At the moment of contact, Luo Wusheng distinctly felt the petite girl in front of him tremble slightly, and a terrifying surge of spiritual energy began to brew instantly.

Luo Wusheng was almost scared out of his wits, but this surge of spiritual energy quickly dissipated, and what followed were two words that suppressed her emotions.

“…Seven seconds.”

After looking at the small pink fist that Yue Xuanji slightly clenched and then relaxed, and listening to the voice that seemed to carry a hint of embarrassment, Luo Wusheng, who had paused for a moment while rubbing the girl’s head, began to move his hand again, gently and carefully.

Once he confirmed that the girl didn’t react much other than a slight tremor in her petite body, he gradually became bolder.

Rubbing in one direction, and then rubbing in the opposite direction.

The feeling was really smooth.

Especially since this was the head of the tower master of the Heavenly Divination Tower, how many people would even dare to think about it, let alone act on such a thought? The only one who has done something like this is probably the Netherqueen, right?

“Are you enjoying this?”

Luo Wusheng felt the small head under his hand move slightly, and then the girl gently lifted her head.

There was no expression on her flawless delicate face, only a pair of beautiful starry eyes that seemed somewhat gentle.

It’s the gaze of a person who wants to stab you.

Feeling the temperature around him drop noticeably, Luo Wusheng’s brain, which had just been slightly excited, quickly cooled down, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

His hand, which had been rubbing the girl’s head, paused again.

“I suggest you better not stop—Hnn~~ unless you want more accidents to happen when you collect your good fortune later.”

While Yue Xuanji spoke, her eyes seemed to be drifting slightly. “Four seconds left.”

Luo Wusheng was slightly stunned.

He did wonder why this girl suddenly wanted to give him this kind of favor, but how could touching her head be related to his good fortune?

And if he really had to touch her head, why couldn’t they do it at another time?

Couldn’t they have done it during their late-night chess match yesterday?

At least then, there were only the two of them in the room.

Now, with him standing in the corridor in front of Little Yuli room, it was not much better.

Well, this corridor in front of Little Yuli door could still be seen by the people on the first floor, although due to the angle, they could only see his back and couldn’t see Yue Xuanji, who was blocked by him and had a petite figure.

But if someone happened to go to the second floor, they might see him with this white-haired loli, and who knows what they would think they were doing…

Hmm, because of various reasons, the appearance of the tower master of the Heavenly Divination Tower was rarely known to the outside world.

’If it were according to my previous life, if this were discovered, my photos would have been spread by various unscrupulous media on the internet the next day…’

And then, it was labeled with the headline, “Shocking! The Current Holy Saint of the Demon Sect has been exposed to be doing the unspeakable thing with a minor in public! Read the full story on page 9!”

However, this is a world of xianxia, and with Yue Xuanji’s high cultivation level, she still had complete control over the atmosphere in the inn. As long as she didn’t want it, no one in the inn would have the chance to see her presence.

So, it was impossible for anyone to witness the scene where she was having her head patted by him.

But… would continuing to pat her head reduce the chances of unexpected events later?

Truthfully speaking, he had prepared himself if any unexpected thing happened, especially when he thought about his junior sister, the Immortal Nation Empress, and the Netherqueen soon arriving at the battlefield. His sense of danger as a Golden Core cultivator was constantly on high alert.

Clearly, there would be some complications later.

Thinking of this, Luo Wusheng’s momentarily paused hand quickly resumed its motion and even subtly accelerated.

If doing this could make it easier to gather his supposed good fortune, then he didn’t need to hesitate at all.

When there were only the last two seconds left in the time limit for patting her head, he finally noticed a change happening on his own body.

Inside his dantian, the tiny seed of luck that revolved around his golden core, while he was massaging Yue Xuanji’s head, entered a high-speed rotation.

What was different from before was that during this process, the spiritual energy that flowed into his dantian from Yue Xuanji also continuously flowed into this seed of luck.

Whenever the seed of luck’s speed slowed down, it would receive an extra boost of power.

The seed of luck, which would have gradually returned to calm due to insufficient stimulation, was now in an endless state of acceleration.

At this moment, Luo Wusheng seemed to understand something.

’Could it be that if it continues like this, it might break through that boundary and trigger a change?’

Just as he was thinking this, he noticed that the seed of luck’s speed and trajectory were no longer changing.

As for the reason, it’s most likely because the time limit Yue Xuanji had given to him to ruffle her hair has reached its limit.

Yue Xuanji, with a slightly flushed face, pushed away Luo Wusheng’s hand from her head, and then gently tidied up her slightly messy hair.

Although it was her who had asked the other party not to stop patting her, she hadn’t expected this Demon Sect Holy Saint to really go all out and let himself loose.

She gave the young man in front of her a displeased look.

“You are a lucky man, you know? I had helped you so much, and all I got was twenty pieces of Star-Moon Jade…”
