NOVEL WEB Chapter 34: All for Nothing!
"What are you thinking? Place your hands on the orb," Elder Su Kai said while observing the thoughtful state of Mo Han.
Mo Han took a step forward and placed his hands as suggested by Elder Su Kai.
"By the way, how does this work?" Mo Han asked while observing the glowing orb curiously.
"The orb will release a Su Kai energy into your body, which will flow through your meridians and soul space. Based on the color gradient, I can tell which type of body constitution you have. Don't worry about the result, you can trust the orb," Elder Su Kai explained as she placed a spirit stone on the wooden pole base.
In the next second, the qi energy from the spirit stone was extracted by the orb and sent into Mo Han's body.
Mo Han felt a short electric pulse pass through his body.
The colors inside the orb began swirling rapidly like a whirlpool.
One second…
Five seconds…
Ten seconds…
A complete minute passed. But not a single color appeared inside the orb. The swirling of colors continued for a long time, and finally, after five minutes, the orb came to a standstill without any result.
"What is it? Why is it not showing any colors?" Mo Han asked with an anxious look.
"It means there are only two possibilities. One, you might not have any body constitution at all. The second is, you might have a body constitution ranked higher than KING level," Elder Su Kai explained as she lifted the orb from the wooden pole and moved it towards the wall to hang it.
"Oh, that means I need to visit an auction house with a large number of spirit stones to find out about my body constitution. Very well… thank you, Elder, for your help. I will definitely repay this favor in the future," Mo Han said confidently, without any sign of disappointment.
Elder Su Kai was surprised for a second, as she didn't understand how Mo Han could be so confident about his body constitution.
"If you have so much wealth to test your body constitution in an auction house, why did you come here in the first place?" Elder Su Kai asked with a questioning glance. For a smoother reading experience, visit MV&LEMPYR.
"I don't have any wealth right now. But I have my own ways to get what I want," Mo Han replied while observing other treasures on the wall.
"I don't know whether to call you brave or headless. But in any case, don't be disappointed if you don't have a body constitution," Elder Su Kai said as she pointed Mo Han to leave the treasury room.
Mo Han bowed his head respectfully and walked back without taking another look at the pitiful treasury of the Pink Blossom Tree Sect.
Elder Su Kai continued to observe the leaving back of Mo Han for a long time. She was contemplating whether Mo Han was worthy to become a partner for her daughter, Chi Kai.
Chi Kai was anxiously waiting outside Triangle Mountain. Just as Mo Han came out of the wooden doors, she immediately jumped forward and asked about the result.
"My work is done here. Sadly, I couldn't find my body constitution yet. But thank you for accompanying and taking care of me. If there's anything in the future I can help you with… I will definitely do it for you," Mo Han said while walking away with her.
Chi Kai was disappointed for a second, as she had expected to see a King-level body constitution for Mo Han. But after hearing his promise, her eyes lit up like stars. Even though she was excited to reveal her request, her mother's warning made her control her emotions.
"So, are you leaving now?" Chi Kai asked.
"Yes. There's nothing I can do here. Also, my friend Fatty is waiting outside. I can't delay any longer," Mo Han replied as they crossed the Death Stone.
"Oh… very well, then. I will accompany you to the gate. You are always welcome here," Chi Kai said, while following him closely.
While talking to each other, they increased their walking pace. All the eyes of the women turned towards them as they walked side-by-side along the flower path.
Mo Han found it amusing, as he also knew that many of the women thought he was here for Chi Kai.
But just before he crossed the disciple barracks, Mo Han suddenly stopped. His eyes went wide for a second as he stared at a male figure being dragged away by a chubby woman.
"What is Ron Lee doing here?" Mo Han muttered as he stared at Ron Lee's figure in the distance.
With one look, Mo Han could tell that the evil women of the Pink Blossom Tree Sect were definitely extracting all the energy from Ron Lee.
"Is something wrong?" Chi Kai asked with a confused look.
Mo Han didn't reply immediately, as he was contemplating whether to save Ron or not. But in that split second, he made the decision to leave Ron to his fate.
"Nothing… I just saw an amusing scene," Mo Han said as he took a step forward towards the entrance gate.
"Don't lie to me. I can tell you were staring at that young man. Do you know him?" Chi Kai asked while observing Mo Han closely.
"I know him. But he's not a friendly figure. I'm just wondering how he ended up here. Anyway, that's not important to me." Mo Han replied with a nonchalant look.
Chi Kai didn't ask any more questions after hearing him. Soon, they reached the mountain eagle.
Fatty felt like he had seen a saving angel after spotting Mo Han again.
"Brother Mo Han, what took you so long? I almost got captured by these evil witches," Fatty cried out in a complaining tone.
But without responding to Fatty's question, Mo Han climbed onto the mountain eagle and waved goodbye to Chi Kai.
With a gust of wind, the eagle flew into the sky.
Chi Kai continued to stare at the mountain eagle for a long time, as she felt an emptiness in her heart.
