Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Farewell, Lu Xingchen!

Tang Li Xue sneered at Lu Xingchen and said sarcastically to him: “You are even luckier than me. You are not only able to get away safely from that bat monster. You can even accidentally run at me and make me save your life.”

Lu Xingchen replied guiltily: “Miss Fox, I am truly sorry, but I swear that I really never planned on bringing that bat monster to you.”

“Okay, let’s put that matter aside for now. I have already saved your life several times, so have you ever thought about how you want to pay me back?” Tang Li Xue asked Lu Xingchen blatantly as a cunning glint flashed in her topaz blue eyes.

Lu Xingchen thought for a moment and chuckled while muttering: “Uhh, that… Miss Fox, I know that I already owe you so much, but I really have nothing to pay you. I had said that I would pay you with my body, but you had refused before. Then… What if I obey all of your orders from now on?”

Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes and answered in a nonchalant tone: “Who the heck wants something as worthless as your body?! And also, I do not need an empty promise like you will obey me from now on. You will get off this Flying Island and return to the Xia Dynasty today anyway, so we should never meet again after today.”

“I only want you to tell me…” Before Tang Li Xue could state what she wanted to Lu Xingchen, Lu Xingchen had already interrupted her words halfway.

“What a second, what do you mean by that?” Lu Xingchen frowned deeply and asked in a serious tone.

“Which part? I do not want something as worthless as your body?” Tang Li Xue tilted her head cutely in confusion.

The corner of Lu Xingchen’s mouth twitched slightly as he replied: “Not that part… What do you mean by only I will get off this Flying Island and return to the Xia Dynasty, then we will never meet again after today?”

“Don’t tell me you want to stay in this Flying Island forever?!” Lu Xingchen asked in a tone filled with distress.

“Of course not.” Tang Li Xue shook her head, which made Lu Xingchen sigh in relief.

But then, Tang Li Xue continued to say: “I only hitched a ride on this Flying Island to go to the other continent. I may never return to the Azure Mist Continent anymore, so we probably will never meet again.”

Tang Li Xue did not bother to explain that she would go to the Central Continent since she was not that close yet with Lu Xingchen.

Despite basking under the warm sunlight, Lu Xingchen felt his heart and entire body turn cold.

An indescribable feeling of loss and disappointment flooded Lu Xingchen’s mind.

Tang Li Xue stated honestly that Lu Xingchen only needed to tell her the way to enter the cave secret realm, then his debt to her would be completely cleared out, and they would not owe anything to each other anymore.

But Lu Xingchen’s mind had already turned completely blank, so that even Tang Li Xue’s sweet, melodious voice could no longer soothe his overwhelming sense of loss.

Tang Li Xue stood up and angrily kicked down the sitting Lu Xingchen while scolding him: “You damn cheapskate~! I have already saved your life several times, what is wrong with telling me how to enter that cave secret realm?! You will get off this Flying Island today anyway, so you no longer need it anymore, right?!”

“Ah? What? Oh, right… I see, so you only want that?” Lu Xingchen woke up from his stupor and replied in a feeble tone.

Lu Xingchen taught Tang Li Xue about how to set and activate the formation to enter the cave secret realm.

Fortunately, Tang Li Xue had learned the formation’s basic knowledge from Teacher Li Wei before.

The formation thought by Lu Xingchen was also not that difficult or complicated, so Tang Li Xue learned it in just half an hour or so.

Tang Li Xue smiled brightly in satisfaction, which made Lu Xingchen keep staring at her infatuatedly.

Tang Li Xue took a small wooden box out of her space pouch and threw it at Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen caught it unpreparedly and stared at Tang Li Xue in confusion, then asked: “What is this?”

“My farewell gift to you. Do not open it now. You can open it later after you come back.” Tang Li Xue replied with a sweet smile on her stunningly beautiful face.

“Oh, okay… Thank you very much for the gift…” Lu Xingchen awkwardly thanked Tang Li Xue.

“Let’s go~! I will escort you back to the Xia Dynasty’s Flying Warship.” Tang Li Xue generously said to Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen slowly stood up, then both Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen headed to the location of the Xia Dynasty’s Flying Warship.

Even though the encounters between Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen were rather bumpy, but their current relationship was not bad, so Tang Li Xue decided to see Lu Xingchen off.

When Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen almost reached the Flying Warship, they could already see that many cultivators had gathered near the Flying Warship from afar.

Tang Li Xue had not covered her stunningly beautiful face or disguised herself, so she did not want to get too close to the Flying Warship or let others see her.

“This is where we should part, Young Master Lu. Our first meeting may not have been nice, but at least we are good friends now, right? So, I wish you a safe trip back.” Tang Li Xue’s sweet and melodious voice echoed in Lu Xingchen’s ears.

But as soon as Lu Xingchen turned his head to see Tang Li Xue, he could no longer find her anymore because Tang Li Xue had already activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Void Barrier] to turn herself invisible and undetectable.

Lu Xingchen suddenly felt that something extremely important was missing from him.

Lu Xingchen absentmindedly stood alone near the Flying Warship and laughed sorrowfully at himself.

He got on the Flying Warship and came to this Flying Island in order to find and kill the despicable thief who dared to steal his spatial ring and treasures.

But in the end, not only did he fail, but the despicable thief even stole something even more important from him.

“Maybe I should not have come here in the first place…” Lu Xingchen muttered in a tone filled with regret, sorrow, and depression.

Despite already knowing that Tang Li Xue would not get on the Flying Warship and return to Azure Mist Continent, but Lu Xingchen still looked around expectantly, hoping that Tang Li Xue would change her mind and return to the Xia Dynasty with him.

Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue never showed up until the time was up.

“All right, the time is up! Everyone, get on the ship!” The ship’s captain shouted to warn everyone.

“Can you please wait for a few more minutes?! I have not seen my cousin yet!”

“That is right! My friends also have not come yet!”

…

The crowd of cultivators protested and demanded that the ship’s captain wait for a little bit longer.

“Shut up! This Flying Island will leave the Azure Mist Continent soon! Do you know how dangerous the sea area is?! Even if we ride on the Flying Warship, we may still not be able to return safely to the Xia Dynasty once this Flying Island enters the sea area!” The ship’s captain angrily rebuked the crowd of cultivators.

“It is okay if you do not want to get on the Flying Warship. You can just stay in this Flying Island forever!” The ship’s captain added as he entered the Flying Warship first.

All the cultivators did not have any choice other than following the ship’s captain and entering the Flying Warship too.

Just when Lu Xingchen was about to step into the Flying Warship, his feet suddenly halted.

Lu Xingchen hesitated for a while before he gritted his teeth and took out the small wooden box given by Tang Li Xue, then he unsealed and opened it.

Lu Xingchen gasped in shock and disbelief.

Lu Xingchen actually found a spatial ring stored inside the small wooden box!

Yes, this spatial ring was actually the spatial ring that was stolen by Tang Li Xue from him before!

When Lu Xingchen checked the content of the spatial ring, he found out that nothing was missing inside the spatial ring, including the precious Life-Extending Fruit and Sword Spirit Embryo that he bought from the auction house before.

Tang Li Xue decided to return everything to Lu Xingchen because she thought the karma for stealing from someone with the protagonist template, like Lu Xingchen, was too heavy.

She was forced to save Lu Xingchen’s life several times already, so she did not want to have any more karmic debt with Lu Xingchen.

Anyway, even though the things inside Lu Xingchen’s spatial ring were quite precious, but Tang Li Xue actually did not really need them.

Obtaining the information about how to enter the cave secret realm from Lu Xingchen was more than enough for Tang Li Xue.

Rather than shouldering the karmic debt of stealing those useless things, Tang Li Xue was more looking forward to finding a lot more treasures that could increase her Profound Laws comprehension from the cave secret realm.

But Lu Xingchen did not think so…

“Pfft~! Hehehe… So, you think we will be even if you return everything to me now? You have stolen something even more important from me, and now, you just want to say that I can go back and forget everything about you from now on, just like that?! How ridiculous!” Lu Xingchen laughed angrily as he clenched the spatial ring tightly in his grasp.

Then Lu Xingchen suddenly turned around and jumped down from the Flying Warship instead!
