Chapter 1496: Chapter 1496

"Ah, what should I do, what do you think I should do?"

As Du You was fully devoted to deducing his abilities, not far away, Li Mengyao was looking at the approaching Xi Qianxue with an anxious expression, a state she had been in for days.

Xi Qianxue exhaled a sigh: "This is also a good thing, I guess. At least, it shows your true feelings."

"But, but wouldn’t this seem too forward, might he think that I... "

Xi Qianxue almost couldn’t help rolling her eyes, it was rare to see Li Mengyao ; she had only been this way once in her memory. Even Li Mengyao’s good friend Huorong Qing was seeing her in this state for the first time.

"No, he won’t. How passive that guy can be is not unknown to you. As for your own issue, anyone with discerning eyes can see right through it." A smart woman, acting so foolishly.

If it were someone else, Li Mengyao could definitely tell what was going on at a glance. However, when it comes to herself, she’s in such a state. She did not remember being herself before.

Li Mengyao nodded, then lowered her head again: "But, he’s so outstanding, would he really like me? I’m worried it might just be an illusion, like maybe he sees me as a sister or something." Li Mengyao covered her cheeks with her hands, her eyes almost brimming with tears, looking so pitifully beautiful.

Xi Qianxue shook her head slightly: "How could that be? Don’t you understand his personality? If he truly had no feelings for you, he would never have reacted like that."

Thinking of that previous kiss, Li Mengyao’s cheeks reddened even more, almost wanting to bury her head like an ostrich.

"What Du You has been like over these years, he’s only been close to a few women, and he treats each of them well. If he really saw them as sisters, then he would have treated them the same as he does Elsa."

Thinking of Elsa, Li Mengyao’s intelligence seemed to come back a bit. Yes, Du You had always treated Elsa as a sister, and Elsa was even more clingy to him than she was, but Du You did nothing.

But if she herself acted this way, would it make Du You behave differently?

Li Mengyao continued to ponder, her expression constantly changing like a kaleidoscope. Seeing Li Mengyao’s expressions, Xi Qianxue didn’t even know what to say. Her longtime rival and friend had become .

Indeed, love can lower one’s IQ, and quite significantly at that.

"Aren’t you really going to see him? You should know he’s got a lot coming up. If you don’t see him now, you might have few opportunities later. Your affair might take a long time to resolve."

"See him? How could I dare to?" Li Mengyao thought silently, with a shy look on her face.

Suddenly, Li Mengyao raised her head and said, "Wait a minute, don’t you have feelings for him too, why are you helping me ? Also, why haven’t I seen you make any moves during this time? It’s impossible you have given up."

"Give up? Impossible. Our progress has been very good, even faster than yours. You don’t need to worry about it."

"Hmph, how could I possibly worry?" Although she said this, Li Mengyao still felt some concern. They had always been competitors, but now they could become partners, as Du You’s status had changed.

Becoming a seventh-tier was not something either of them could claim alone. Instead of fighting each other, collaboration would be better. Compared to people they might not know in the future, they understood and trusted each other more.

Suddenly, Li Mengyao seemed to realize something; Xi Qianxue seemed different than before. Li Mengyao faintly felt something was off, but upon closer inspection, she couldn’t pin it down.

On the one hand, Xi Qianxue hid it very well, and Li Mengyao failed to notice some subtle actions. On the other hand, Li Mengyao had not gone through certain experiences and so couldn’t see what was apparent - this had nothing to do with intelligence.

"Alright, if you’re really not going out, then stay here. I’ve got things to do."

Seeing that she couldn’t convince the woman, Xi Qianxue simply left. After all, there was still time later, wasn’t the previous encounter a good start? At least, a barrier had been broken through.

However, Xi Qianxue had also not visited Du You recently. The Divinity on him was too intense. She didn’t want to approach him until it completely subsided. The relationship between the two wasn’t ordinary, and approaching would definitely trigger something.

If Li Mengyao discovered something prematurely, it would not be optimal, as Xi Qianxue was still planning to push Li Mengyao towards him, making her a partner for herself.

As for Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, they didn’t need partners at all; they were a part of Du You. With Du You’s breakthrough to the seventh tier, the two were also close to reaching it.

With the power at that level, no one needs to worry about their position.

Capable and beautiful, the two were perfectly balanced and would not express their opinions in this regard.

As for Sally, she had been Du You’s right-hand all along, with considerable strength. It was the two of them who were less capable and lacked strength, and were not always by Du You’s side, so it was crucial for them to increase their influence.

Not long after Xi Qianxue left, Huorong Qing came to Li Mengyao’s place. Seeing Li Mengyao in this state, Huorong Qing felt a wave of depression. However, she still had to try to persuade her.

Thinking of Du You’s achievements now, and remembering that she once had her chance, Huorong Qing felt increasingly vexed.

If she had known Du You would achieve so much, she should not have cared about Li Mengyao’s feelings and should have made contact with Du You. Perhaps, she would have been part of the group by now. Ah, she couldn’t continue thinking this way.

Several women, anxious and plotting, Du You was unaware of all this. This was a critical period for him. His Shadow Spirit Light Ball was nearing its final phase. All compatible Law energies had been integrated into it.

The skill modification had reached the standard. What follows is the investment of ten Crystal Coins to elevate the skill level directly. Before the integration of Law, skills would not upgrade.

But after the integration, skill upgrading could save him a great deal of time. After reaching the seventh tier, these ordinary functions were the last assistance given to them by the Earth’s will.

Just like how others can accelerate their Cultivation in their own worlds, it might not provide significant help, but to say it’s completely non-existent is unlikely. Googlᴇ search novel•fire.net
