Chapter 507: Chapter 506: Junior Sister: My Heart Is Beating So Fast, Senior Brother: Let Me Feel It

Out on the sea,

Su Qi wrapped herself up tightly and then changed her clothes.

Jiang Zuo naturally used the Fire Element to dry them. The Fire Element was especially excited to dry clothes for its big brother.

Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi, who was wrapped in a cloth, and said, "Why didn’t you change on the way back?"

Su Qi said, "Well, nothing was exposed, so of course I came back first. What if you got upset?"

Just then, Su Qi put the cloth away and did a little spin. "Ta-da! Look, do I look good?"

Su Qi was wearing casual long pants, a cream-colored long-sleeved shirt, and her hair was down, draping over her shoulders like a shawl.

In truth, the clothes were just clothes, but Su Qi herself was beautiful.

So, Jiang Zuo nodded. "Beautiful."

Su Qi now had her back to Jiang Zuo. "Then hurry up and tie my hair for me. After that, let’s go back and find something to eat. I’m starving."

Jiang Zuo came up behind Su Qi and undid her Hairband.

But as he was smoothing out Su Qi’s hair, he noticed injuries on the back of her neck as well.

Jiang Zuo frowned, subconsciously pulling her collar down a little.

He then saw many scars.

Jiang Zuo’s brow furrowed.

But before Jiang Zuo could do anything, Su Qi leaned right against him and said, "They’re just superficial wounds. Besides, I’d be exposed out here. I’ll let you look your fill when we get back. Mmm, when we’re in bed."

’So, I failed to protect Su Qi properly.’

’The Life-Protecting Hairband is just that—a life-protecting Hairband. It can’t prevent Su Qi from getting hurt at all.’

When Jiang Zuo remained silent, Su Qi turned around and said coquettishly, "Don’t be angry. The scars will heal. I’m sure they’ll be beautiful and smooth again. They’ll definitely feel really nice to the touch."

Jiang Zuo felt a little helpless. He remembered how Su Qi used to comfort him the same way back when she was always away on business trips.

But it seemed he was finding it harder and harder to listen to her reassurances.

’That’s what ultimately led to our divorce.’

Just then, Su Qi lowered her head shyly and said, "Alright, I’ll take a loss... tonight... I’ll spend the night with you."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

’Who’s really the one taking a loss here?’

But in that instant, Jiang Zuo remembered something.

He remembered the first time Su Qi spent the night with him; it had been much like this.

Back then, Su Qi really had been the one at a disadvantage.

Finally, Jiang Zuo turned Su Qi back around and said, "I’m tying your hair."

Su Qi smiled without saying anything, obediently letting Jiang Zuo tie her hair.

As Jiang Zuo tied her hair, he thought, ’I should probably learn some nice ways to style hair. Doing it the same way every time is so boring.’

"Does it hurt?" Jiang Zuo asked as he tied her hair.

It would be a lie to say it didn’t hurt.

Su Qi said without hesitation, "It hurts, but with you here doting on me, it doesn’t. Otherwise, it would hurt a lot."

"Remember not to bend over," Jiang Zuo said suddenly.

Su Qi: "???? Why?"

Jiang Zuo said with a deadpan expression, "I’m afraid the water in your brain might spill out."

The expression on Su Qi’s face froze instantly. Then, without a moment’s hesitation, she spun around and bit Jiang Zuo.

And so, the two of them ended up falling into the water again.

—

"This is all your fault. My new clothes..." Su Qi complained upon returning to the Seven Emotions Coast.

This time, however, she didn’t change. She dried her clothes herself with fire and even rinsed the seawater out with fresh water.

Su Qi used Magic. She wouldn’t let Jiang Zuo help.

She was still angry.

Jiang Zuo held Su Qi’s hand and said, "If you hadn’t bitten me, this wouldn’t have happened."

Su Qi immediately retorted, "If you hadn’t insulted me, I wouldn’t have bitten you! This time, it’s your fault. Don’t try to argue."

Alright, Jiang Zuo didn’t argue back. He was wrong, so he was wrong. In any case, she had already bitten him, and they had already fallen into the water.

There was no point in saying anything more.

By now, the Flying Fish on the Seven Emotions Coast had been cleaned up. Although the seawater was still stained with blood, it would be washed away over time.

As for the event venue, nothing much had happened there.

It was just that no one was in the mood to participate anymore, and besides, the organizer was gone.

The event more or less ended just like that.

However, what these people were most concerned about was having heard Yin Zhentian’s song. One by one, they all began to suspect they were developing a Heart Demon.

"Junior Sister, are you alright? I feel like my heart is beating really fast. Is my Heart Demon acting up?"

"Senior Brother, me too. My chest feels tight, and my heart is beating a little fast."

"Really? Let me feel."

"..."

Jiang Zuo and Su Qi, who happened to be passing by, were utterly speechless.

’What’s wrong with people these days? And in public, too.’

’Even if it’s pitch black, you could at least put up a Sound Insulation Array.’

Su Qi felt especially awkward.

When she used to go out with Jiang Zuo, she was always very careful and never dared to do anything too out of line. At most, they would hug; she didn’t even dare to kiss.

She was just afraid that others would see and she’d be embarrassed.

Of course, it was a different story at home, especially after being "tricked" that first time.

After Jiang Zuo and Su Qi had walked some distance away, Su Qi asked him, "Aren’t you embarrassed?"

Jiang Zuo rolled his eyes. "It wasn’t me."

"That’s mainly because you wouldn’t dare say things like that, not even at home. You only dared to back in the old days," Su Qi said, looking at Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo let out a dry laugh.

’Everyone was young once.’

Then Su Qi added, "They were just talking about Yin Zhentian, right? I think I’ve heard of him. His singing is supposed to be especially poisonous."

Su Qi looked at Jiang Zuo, her face full of questions.

Jiang Zuo could only say, "He did sing, but aside from it sounding good, I didn’t feel anything special."

For Jiang Zuo, this was the truth.

But there definitely wasn’t a problem. It wasn’t just him; the others didn’t have a major issue either.

This was because of the Divine Transformation Pill. Whoever created the Divine Transformation Pill was a true genius.

With just a little tampering, someone had managed to use the Divine Transformation Pill to create an Array that could affect emotions.

Jiang Zuo felt he had underestimated the Divine Transformation Pill.

But Su Qi didn’t believe him. Her Senior Sister had specifically told her about Yin Zhentian once.

Although she hadn’t paid much attention, her Senior Sister had told her to stay as far away as possible and never listen to his singing.

It would create a Heart Demon.

"Let me feel your chest and see if you have a Heart Demon," Su Qi said, moving closer to Jiang Zuo.

"..." Jiang Zuo blocked Su Qi. Before she could get upset, he said, "In public? Aren’t you embarrassed?"

Su Qi glanced around and said in a low voice, "There’s a difference between men and women. If you touched me, I’d definitely be embarrassed. But it’s different if I touch you. No one would think it’s inappropriate."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

’Alright, I guess that logic holds up.’

’If Su Qi wants to check, I’ll just let her. It’s not like she’ll be able to find anything anyway.’

Then, Su Qi placed her hand on Jiang Zuo’s chest and closed her eyes.

Soon, Jiang Zuo felt something enter his body.

It was a very cool and refreshing aura.

’It’s the Purification Technique.’

Jiang Zuo had thought Su Qi was just playing around, but it turned out she was serious.

’But for something like a Heart Demon, is the Purification Technique even useful?’

Speaking of which, he had never even encountered a Heart Demon in his previous life.

In fact, he had actually looked forward to meeting one back then. Most Heart Demons were said to be incredibly powerful, and as someone who was unrivaled among his peers, he couldn’t find anyone who could put up a fight.

So, he had wanted to fight a Heart Demon.

Alas, he never saw one.

Well, the main reason was that he had become aware of the existence of the Dream Realm. And once he could control the Dream Realm, it meant a Heart Demon could no longer appear.

The Dream Realm could also be considered a counterpart to the Heart Demon.

A Heart Demon is inherently illusory, yet it can manifest into a real entity so naturally.

And bringing a dream into reality is a process that follows the path of a Heart Demon, slowly approaching tangibility.

This technique had existed since ancient times, but Jiang Zuo didn’t know who left it behind.

But the idea behind it was truly audacious.

It was truly admirable.

At that moment, Su Qi rubbed Jiang Zuo’s chest a little, then frowned. "This muscle feels a bit unfamiliar."

Jiang Zuo raised an eyebrow.

’She’s got to be kidding, right?’

’Can she really tell that my chest feels unfamiliar just by touching it?’
