Chapter 509: Power

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the thin layer of barrier between the joining of two bodies was broken by Trish’s lost of control, under the warm water of the shower, the second round of lovemaking between the girl and Zhang Lisheng began to happen mysteriously yet naturally, as though it was a matter of fact.

The young man was taken by surprise over the fact that his body, that was in the state of ‘death’ waiting for Resurrection, was still able to launch the ‘seeds of life’ again and again. He could not help but guess that under the situation where all of his organs had withered, the fact that his testicles could still maintain its vitality could mean that the mystery of becoming a Grand Wizard was right here.

Standing under the stream of shower with his mind running wild, he unknowingly put on an excited yet confused expression. It was only he heard a gentle voice asking, “What’s wrong, my little monster? What are you thinking?” that he finally snapped back to reality.

When Zhang Lisheng heard Trish calling him by ‘monster’, he suddenly realized that he had already left the shackles of human beings, and even ordinary creatures. It was absolutely ridiculous to apply ordinary biological knowledge to himself.

“I’ve really become possessed with the thought of breakthrough now...” The girl laughed at him. Looking at Trish’s perfect body in the mist, he intuitively turned his head and replied, “I’m thinking about what I should do in the future. Trish, you should’ve noticed that something is not right with my body, right?”

“I didn’t notice anything in the desert just now but now yeah I did,” the girl replied and placed both of her hands in front of her chest, before facing the palms upward. A bloodcurdling light suddenly emanated from her entire body and gradually gathered in her palms. It continued to converge and burn, and in the end, in a loud ‘bang’, it transformed into two jujube-shaped jewels that appeared to be crystal clear with a red light shining in the core.

Panting, she placed the jewels closer to Zhang Lisheng inch by inch as she looked at the round stones burning brightly like a torch to gradually lose its luster as they were held closer to the young man’s body. In the end, they shattered into bits of fluorescence, causing Trish to say in a dignified expression, “You body seems to be completely eroded by a negative force. It’s exuding an aura of death...”

“Trish, you’re becoming too dependent on your supernatural strength. Actually, you don’t have to go to such trouble. You’d be able to get the same conclusion by touching my heart. I’m already ‘dead’!” Zhang Lisheng shrugged and interrupted the girl’s words. “However, I’ll be able to resurrect sooner or later...”

“Oh? A change in the essence of life?” Trish answered in understanding with a smile before the young man could finish his words. “I’ve also experienced this three months before. At that time, the light stone produced in my body had just reached the temperature of ‘magma’ and it caused me to have a high fever that could not go off. I’ve laid in the hospital bed for two weeks and my highest temperature has exceeded 160 Fahrenheit. If it wasn’t for the help of a Sergeant Major from the Atlantis, I’d have most likely turned into a mummy.”

It had never crossed Zhang Lisheng’s mind that the power of light and fire would also produce a qualitative change in life. He was stunned for a while before saying wryly, “You’ve actually undergone a ‘transmutation’? Wow, you really gain without exertion. Thinking back, I’ve worked so hard before I could make a breakthrough to the Rank-6 Wizard to transform... Ah forget it, now that everything has passed, my original intention of transplanting the spiritual monster’s Gold Core into you, Tina and Sheila can be regarded as a change in the essence of life. Thinking about it, that’s even easier...”

“Gain without exertion, baby? Compared to your beloved Tina, mine is not exertion, you know,” the girl suddenly interrupted the young man’s words and said. “Not long after you left Noah last time, she started to have resonation with that ‘mysterious book’. After that, all the light stones that I gathered almost merged into her body. Right now, Tina is already able to command that thick big book and has automatically gained the power of a ‘sage’. Not only that, she has also successfully granted Sheila the occupation of ‘Dancer’ from Dungeons and Dragons.”

“Oh f*ck? Are they crazy? I said that I’ll soon find a way to safely transplant the spiritual monster Gold Core safely with no risk. Be it long life or supernatural power, both of these are just at their fingertips. Now that I’ve found a way, they have already accepted other unpredictable powers instead. And you too! This is really f*cked up! So many things have taken place in just less than one year... Ha! It’s my fault. I’m really an idiot! I should have expected this to happen when the three of you asked for the sage’s book I’ve forcefully taken from the god of the foreign world! No, no! If it wasn’t for you who suddenly grasped the power of light and fire without warning and provided Tina the source of a supernatural power, she wouldn’t have been able to become a sage now...”

When Trish saw how the young man became stunned for a while before suddenly bursting out in an incoherent angry rant, she did not say anything. After he had finally finished venting, she said, “Lisheng, the power I master is based on warm light and heat while the power Tina masters is based on human wisdom. The power that Sheila masters, on the other hand, erm, I don’t know what it’s based on but that power makes Sheila’s body and face to become more beautiful and healthier. These are the only two things that she asks for. You wished for us to have the power to protect ourselves from riots and now we finally have it. Even though it’s not obtained by your transplant from the spiritual monsters, isn’t this even better?”

Zhang Lisheng had been kidnapped once in the Hawaiian Islands by Altman Sage and his followers so he knew that the sage’s power was not under the control of ‘god’. After he calmed down and pondered about it carefully, he realized that the choices of the three girls were not entirely wrong so he could not help but sighed deeply and no longer say a word.

“I’m done with my shower,” When Trish saw that the young man had quietened down, she also was smart enough to not continue challenging his self-esteem. Instead, she gently kissed Zhang Lisheng’s lips and said, “I’m going to buy you some clothes and let us have lunch later.”

“Lunch? It should be dinner soon. Still, I need to thank you for your kindness anyway. I’ll wait for you to come back, oh District Officer Trish Steg who is independent,” the young man shrugged and answered. He watched the girl leave the shower with a smile to pick up a towel to wipe her hair before she walked out of the bathroom seductively.

Twenty minutes later, wearing a white, low-cut dress, Trish carried a pair of underwear, a light blue suit of exquisite fabric, and brown leather shoes as she reappeared in front of Zhang Lisheng.

“I-It’s only lunch so do we have to dress up so grand for it? Besides, I don’t really have much appetite now,” the young man stared at the beautiful gorgeous girl in bafflement before stuttering with a lot going on in his mind.

“Lisheng, don’t tell me that you think I’d actually flaunt my ‘prowess’ in front of Tina?” Trish managed to guess the meaning implied in Zhang Lisheng’s words with her horrifying woman’s intuition and asked with wide eyes.

“Of course not! No, I just feel that there’s no need to, you know, we’ll just have a casual meal anyway. There’s no need to...”

“Lisheng, Tina is my best friend and I’m already feeling guilty for not being able to control myself and hurt her. I’ll never deliberately let her see the ‘wound’. The reason I bought you a suit and put on a formal dress is because I just received a call from Tina. The group of Chinese in a business meeting with her comes from a very deep official background so she has to host a banquet at night. She asked us to attend too. Oh yeah, she said that you’ll have a surprise too...”

“Oh, I see...” Upon hearing the first few sentences, Zhang Lisheng’s expression turned extremely awkward. Without hearing what the girl continued to say, he hastily took the clothes and shoes from her and put it on, before asking in a low voice, “Are we flying there?”

“I don’t rely on my supernatural powers as much you imagined. If it’s not for some urgent thing, I’d not show off and just fly everywhere using the light stone,” Trish took the young man’s arm and walked out of the apartment with a smile. “Let’s go to the parking lot. I’ll drive you to dinner.”

After saying so, the girl and Zhang Lisheng took the elevator to the underground parking lot, took a blue Ford car to the nearby restaurant and casually ordered two sets of meals. When they saw that there was still plenty of time to go, the two of them actually went to see a movie until the darkness finally arrived. Only then that they drove to a hotel consisting of three independent buildings, two high-rise one low-rise, that were connected by transparent corridor.

They crossed the big door made from freestone and could see that the floor was made of transparent tempered glass. Under the glass was a hollow groove filled with yellow sand and strange dune creatures from the foreign world, giving off a wild feeling. The surrounding walls that were more than ten meters tall were covered with shrubs. Those lush green trees grew obliquely and was full of rustic appeal. The fountain in the middle of the hall was designed to look like an oasis lake. There seemed to be fishes swimming in it too, giving off a feeling full of vitality. Under the soft beige light, Zhang Lisheng whispered in the hotel lobby as he looked around and shrugged, “This is really a unique luxury hotel. I wonder who is the idiot who built a hotel of this size in the foreign world oasis city. ”

“Don’t say that, baby. this hotel is an asset under your name.” Trish burst out in a chuckle. “According to Tina, the profit generated by your Shrimp B1 Island Comprehensive Development Company has been invested into Noah. This Ocean Majestic Building is one of the most dazzling-worthy assets. The middle of the buildings is a hotel and the left and right sides are entertainment establishments that simulate beaches, opera houses, casinos, restaurants and other more. Right now, this is the first choice of vacation destination for most of the slightly wealthy residents in the oasis cities.”

“Is that so?” Stunned, Zhang Lisheng once again looked around and shrugged. “Since this is my property, I should have a good tour in it then!”

“You plan to stay for at least a month in Noah, don’t you? You’d have plenty of opportunity to do that later but now, we should hurry and go to the top floor banquet hall to see Tina.” The girl took a deep breath, walked on the glass floor, and took the young man’s arm to stride towards the elevator in the distance.

The beautiful temperament and attractive appearance of Trish that was almost similar to the Atlanteans walking along with Zhang Lisheng’s lean Oriental appearance was very eye-catching, causing all the people in the hotel lobby, be it the staff or guests, to turn their attention on the two of them.

Most of the gaze naturally landed on Trish, but a black-haired yellowed-skin polite looking girl wearing silverish grey glasses standing next to the fountain was staring at Zhang Lisheng with utmost concentration.
