Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 186 - 116: The Seven Luminaries Endure! Eternal and Indestructible!

Fu Manman looked up, "Very happy."

"You?"

"Mm. Just thinking about being able to return to the Eternal Immortal Sect makes me happy. Before, I always told myself to stay calm, don't get excited, so the fire poison within me wouldn't worsen. But now, I'm not worried."

"Why?"

"Because you can help me remove the fire poison. That way, no matter how excited or happy I get in front of you, it doesn't matter. So, I just have to be very happy, very happy to make up for the 'happiness' I usually lack."

"You really are a kid."

"Do I look good?" Fu Manman suddenly changed the topic.

"What?"

"My... appearance."

"Too young, no comment."

"Where am I young?"

"Age."

"Age will grow."

"We'll talk when you grow up."

Fu Manman looked at him and asked, "If I were like Senior Sister Gu Lan, would you like me then?"

Fan Wubing felt a bit helpless.

It seems every girl who's not confident in her own figure will ask this kind of question.

"You've become really bold, saying things like that would definitely make you blush before."

Fu Manman whispered, "Am I not blushing now?"

Fan Wubing glanced and sure enough, her face was all red, "You say that while blushing!"

"Curiosity. I can't help but think about it."

Alright, Fan Wubing admitted, that's how adolescence is. He shook his head, brushed away stray thoughts, and asked, "How's your body?"

"Still stable, staying in the pool all day. But... I have an uneasy feeling."

"What's wrong?"

Fu Manman's brows furrowed delicately, "I might lose something. Or rather, be replaced. It sounds ridiculous, but that's just how it feels. Especially my spirit, it seems to always be afraid of something involuntarily."

Fan Wubing furrowed his brows.

He roughly understood that it was the Three-legged Golden Crow inside Fu Manman causing trouble.

Perhaps that Three-legged Golden Crow intends to take over Fu Manman's body.

"Give me your hand."

Fu Manman extended her left hand.

Fan Wubing held the Little Princess's delicate hand and went into meditation to sense it.

Fu Manman shivered, not from discomfort but because she realized Fan Wubing's way of holding her hand had changed. He used to just slightly grip the wrist, but now, he held the whole palm.

Does this count as being closer?

It should count.

"Mm~" She felt the meridians within her body stretch and relax, letting out a light hum.

Fan Wubing first absorbed the fire poison stored in her body over the years, then slowly approached the Three-legged Golden Crow near her heart.

This time, he needed to clear up what exactly this Three-legged Golden Crow intended to do.

He was extraordinarily serious, extremely focused and careful. Because at any moment of carelessness, Fu Manman could be harmed.

His brows knitted tightly.

The Little Princess's eyes were wide, staring unblinkingly at Fan Wubing's serious face.

So close.

Close enough to hear the heartbeat, the breathing. She could feel the warmth of his breath, tickling her slender neck, making her dizzy, as if intoxicated, her body going soft, a wave of heat brewing inside her. The sensation was strange, and she felt a bit scared, fearing that if she couldn't control it, she'd do something she shouldn't.

Suddenly, a piercing pain came from her chest, and she instantly snapped awake, holding her breath, focusing her mind, and entered a meditative state together.

At that moment,

Fan Wubing found the Three-legged Golden Crow. A stream of energy, carrying his will, arrived in front of the Divine Bird.

Unlike before, with no reaction, now the Three-legged Golden Crow began to respond to external stimuli.

Fan Wubing kept calling it with his will.

Gradually, it awakened. When its eyes opened, golden threads quickly crawled over Fu Manman's entire body, bringing with them immense malevolence. Fan Wubing became the primary target of this malevolence.

He immediately felt like he was facing an abyss, filled with terror and fear.

But knowing this was within Fu Manman, he found the courage to face it head-on.

The Three-legged Golden Crow stared intently at Fan Wubing's manifested energy, then spoke in human words, "Who are you?"

The voice was ethereal and inviolate, the sound resonant yet pleasant.

Fan Wubing responded, "I am the one who awakened you."

"Awake this Immortal?" The Three-legged Golden Crow exuded authority without anger, "For what purpose?"

"Do you know your own situation?"

"Situation..." The Three-legged Golden Crow pondered, "I know, so what?"

"You are parasitic within a mortal's body, intending to harm her will."

"This Immortal gave her life, so naturally, I own all of her."

Fan Wubing's tone was cold, "You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

The Three-legged Golden Crow's aura surged violently, "How dare a petty person defy this Immortal!"

"'This Immortal'? Haha, just a crippled bird. You can only live by relying on her, yet think you own it all. I know you think in about a year, you'll be able to turn the tables and completely take over her body. But don't forget how you ended up in this state!"

The aura of the Three-legged Golden Crow immediately stagnated, coldly asking, "Who exactly are you?"

Seeing its attitude change, Fan Wubing thought to himself, this bird must have suffered some major blow to end up parasitic inside Fu Manman.

Who am I... Who am I?

Being asked this by the Three-legged Golden Crow... he had only one answer.

The might of the Heavenly Dao descended from the sky, and suddenly, a downpour began.

Fan Wubing's aura bore some mysterious, ancient, and great will. He couldn't grasp exactly what this will was, but he could summon it and embody this will.

His tone, imbued with greatness and indescribable wonder, "I am, the Seven Luminaries True Monarch!"

Eternal will, with his words, suddenly enveloped the Three-legged Golden Crow.

The latter, as if faced with immense terror, suddenly froze, not moving at all. After a while, it asked in a sorrowful tone, "Seven Luminaries, are you... still alive?"

This tone?

Not good!

It was different from what Fan Wubing expected. He remembered when faced with the will of the Seven Luminaries, the Divine General Shen Tu was respectful.

But now, he had no choice but to continue, "Yes, I am still here."

The Three-legged Golden Crow said miserably, "We all thought you perished on the Path of Eternity. I waited for you in the Everlasting Mountain for a hundred thousand years, yet it brought no hope, so I plunged into the mortal world. Never thought, you're still alive."

"The passage of time, the world's chill. Countless things, countless meanings. I can only converse with you like this." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The Three-legged Golden Crow didn't ask what the Seven Luminaries True Monarch had gone through.

Fortunately, it didn't ask!

"Seven Luminaries, where should I go?"

Fan Wubing could only say some mystical-sounding words, "Your heart is impure, your mind stagnant, you need a period of hardship. Well, get along with this child, see this mortal world, listen to this land."

The Three-legged Golden Crow asked again, "Where should I go to find you?"

"Once I cut away all distractions, I will return and meet with all of you!"

The Three-legged Golden Crow suddenly lowered its head, "Seven Luminaries eternal! Immortal and indestructible!"

Time to get out!

Fan Wubing abruptly withdrew from Fu Manman's body, and the will of the Seven Luminaries dissipated instantly.

Then, he felt a heavy exhaustion sweep over him, immediately realizing that his spirit had been severely depleted by bearing the will of the Seven Luminaries. Instantly, his vision went black, and he fell straight onto Fu Manman.
