Chapter 9 Su Mei

• Out of the two youths, Jian Chen was the one with the widest smile.
• Seeing that smile, Su Mei felt curious, and asked, "Brother Chen, how is it?"
• Still with a smiling face, Jian Chen happily replied, “That is a breakthrough. Qi training first level.”
• "Huh what?"
• "Yes, you heard that right. I am now a 1st level qi training practitioner."
• "How could it be?" Su Mei was shocked and asked again to confirm, “Wasn't Brother Chen still at the initial body tempering realm before, how could it be that fast?”
• "What's impossible?" Jian Chen was still smiling, and casually explained, “With spirit root awakening, what wouldn't be possible?”
• "Spirit root? Awakened? Brother Chen...that means..."
• "You're right! My spirit root has awakened, and it allows me to quickly train."
• "In one night, from the initial body tempering straight to the first Qi Training, that spirit root, what grade? Seven, no! It should be ninth grade, or even..."
• "Don't guess too much." Jian Chen immediately stopped Su Mei's guess.
• to him now, the spirit root that took the form of a scabbard sounded strange to describe. Besides not knowing what category it was in, Jian Chen also didn't want to be found out that quickly.
• "How about you? Don't tell me you got nothing?"
• Regarding the question Jian Chen asked, Su Mei did not immediately reply, and only gave Jian Chen a bright glance.
• "This woman, does she want to do some guesswork?"
• Jian Chen asked in his heart, but he didn't answer immediately, and only looked at the Mei in front of him quietly.
• As thought, after a long time of giving Jian Chen a hopeful look, but receiving no reply, the words finally came out.
• "Brother Chen, guess what?"
• Jian Chen was a little helpless towards this woman who looked so familiar to him. Because as long as he could remember, they had never been this close, to the point of having to play a guessing game.
• Moreover, for him who actually has almost three heads. playing charades with a 16 year old girl, this was a little weird for her.
• But Jian Chen couldn't help but smile, and replied, “Is that Qi Training first level?”
• "Erm." while shaking his head slowly, and a little smile, and a bit of ridicule Su Mei blamed him.
• Seeing Su Mei's behavior like this, Jian Chen really felt like he was playing with a child. Surprisingly, it also made Jian Chen feel funny.
• “Second level of Qi training. am I right?"
• Perhaps getting carried away, Jian Chen also subconsciously gave Su Mei a reassuring look with a hint of humor.
• "Hmm... That's close, but still wrong. Hehe.. Brother Chen, you have to be a little serious. Hehe."
• with Jian Chen's two wrong guesses, this time Su Mei was bolder, and giggled.
• On the other hand, Jian Chen who saw that smile through his eyes, and seeing how happy Su Mei's face was, he suddenly felt that girl wasn't bad after all.
• if the face behind the veil had no wounds at all, and befitting her white body to be a bit rosy, this Su Mei would definitely be a peerless beauty.
• Too bad...
• Jian Chen was already sighing, and was about to shake his head when he saw the few festering wounds on Su Mei's face, but he suddenly stopped, and once again looked at the woman's face in shock.
• "You... are you..."
• "Yes, Yes, Yes.." Su Mei nodded quickly and didn't realize what Jian Chen was thinking.
• The woman proudly explained, "That's right, I had a big breakthrough. Just like Big Brother Chen, I also advanced to Qi training, and it was still the third level."
• after explaining, with a smile, and a hint of expectation of Jian Chen's praise appeared between Su Mei's eyes. And when he saw the surprise on Jian Chen's face, a smile and hope grew wider in his heart.
• Qi cultivation level three, it was indeed enough to shock Jian Chen, but what shocked him the most, and which Su Mei didn't know about, was the change in his own face.
• "Su Mei, your face, what's wrong with your face?"
• These words that never expected to come out of Jian Chen's mouth immediately dispelled all the fervor and enthusiasm on Su Mei's face.
• her face became haggard and sadly she lowered her head, followed by her hands trying to cover her face from Jian Chen's sight.
• In Su Mei's heart, it was normal for anyone to insult, and say bad things about her face. but if it was from Jian Chen, somehow Su Mei suddenly felt like she had lost her soul.
• Not answering, nor reacting, after hiding her face from Jian Chen, Su Mei immediately turned around and intended to leave this place.
• "Wait.."
• Seeing Su Mei leaving just like that, Jian Chen immediately said to stop him, but Su Mei ignored him, and kept on intending to leave.
• Sensing something was wrong, Jian Chen immediately stepped forward, and tugged at his arm.
• on the other hand, Su Mei who was walking, and felt someone pulling her hand immediately stopped. But he didn't turn around and just tried to pull his arm back.
• Unfortunately, Jian Chen held her hand firmly.
• "Brother Chen, let go.."
• When he heard Su Mei's low voice that sounded a little shaky and looked sad, Jian Chen finally understood that he had said something wrong.
• Using his experience on earth, Jian Chen knew, if he let go of this hand, the current misunderstanding would never be resolved.
• So, without saying a word, Jian Chen pulled Su Mei's hand even harder, startling her, and shouted.
• after a scream, Su Mei suddenly felt a warm feeling coming from the arms holding her back, as well as the breath of the man from in front of her.
• Time seemed to stop for a moment, and suddenly Su Mei's heart skipped a beat for a moment. especially when he saw Jian Chen's face right in front of his eyes.
• Su Mei had drifted off for a while when she felt those sharp black eyes and faint smile right in front of her.
• However it was only a moment, and soon Su Mei said coldly, “Brother Chen, let go!”
• In response, Jian Chen only gave a low “Hehe” and moved his right hand slightly.
• Jian Chen intends to uncover the face in front of him, Su Mei herself, she just bit her teeth, and did not prevent it.
• until the mask disappeared, and revealed an unobstructed face, Su Mei's two eyes suddenly shed tears.
• Then, trembling her small mouth moved, "What is it, Brother? Is that clear? Explain...this ugly face... Is Big Brother..."
• “Shh..” before Su Mei could finish speaking, Jian Chen immediately stopped her, and placed his finger on her thin red lips.
• "Who wants to insult and make fun of you? From the start I just wanted to say, what's with the change in your face?"
• "Yayaya... my face is ugly, and it keeps getting ugly.. is that enough? If..."
• "Sssstt..who said your face is ugly. I just want to say, why are some of the wounds on your face disappearing in several places."
• "Huh what?"
