Chapter 206 Impact on Level 7

Xiao Yu followed Xu Chuchu's figure from a distance all the way to the northwest corner of the palace, which was where they discovered the energy pool last time.

Xu Chuchu went to great lengths to sneak into the palace, and her goal was indeed this pool of water, but what was she doing there? Was she also here to investigate the previous case of the Queen?

Just as I was hesitating, I saw Xu Chuchu, like the queen before, stepped into the pool and disappeared completely.

Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Although he knew that the queen did not commit suicide but had health problems for a long time, the queen's death still left a deep impression on him.

When they saw the queen go into the water, they all thought she was going to do something, so they stayed where they were. After a while, they felt something was wrong and discovered that the queen had drowned.

So this time Xiao Yu didn't dare to delay for a moment, and didn't care whether Xu Chuchu would find out and be disgusted by him, and rushed directly to the edge of the pool.

Xu Chuchu underwater was in a very similar state to the queen at that time, half suspended in the water, with her hair floating in strands, as if she had lost consciousness.

However, to his surprise, Xu Chuchu's entire body was shimmering with a dazzling white light, as if something had coated her body with a bright protective layer! Was that spiritual power?

She looked like a water fairy, but her expression was somehow forbearing and painful.

Her brows were furrowed and her lips were tightly pursed, as if she might burst into tears at any moment.

No, maybe she had already cried, but it was not visible underwater!

Xiao Yu's heart suddenly felt as if it was stabbed by several knives. He didn't know what Xu Chuchu was doing underwater, nor did he know why she did this. He felt only heartache, pain, and self-blame!

Xu Chuchu is enduring difficulties and torture.

If he hadn't made Chuchu angry, would she not have to face such a predicament alone? Would she still have him to rely on and carry the burden in front of her?

Where is that red-haired man? Why isn't he with her?

"Chu Chu, Chu Chu!" Xiao Yu lay on the edge of the pool and frantically shouted Xu Chu Chu's name, trying to wake her up, but the woman under the water did not respond at all.

He didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he jumped into the water, endured the coldness, and swam to Xu Chuchu.

As soon as I got a little closer, I felt the strong energy fluctuations around her.

She seemed to have become the center of a vortex underwater. The energy in the water swirled around her and then all poured into her body, without any regard for whether her frail body could withstand it.

Is this the source of her pain? Xiao Yu remembered that when he had entered the water to save the queen, Xu Chuchu had seriously warned him not to use his spiritual power underwater, saying that the spiritual power in the pool was violent and that the flesh would be torn apart if he was not careful. But now she herself...

Xiao Yu didn't dare to interrupt her rashly, for fear of causing her to retaliate, but seeing how painful she looked, he couldn't make up his mind and turned away.

He swam behind Xu Chuchu, held her in his arms from behind, and actively released his spiritual power, which merged into the pool water and became a part of the spiritual power she absorbed.

Almost the moment he activated his spiritual power, his body began to feel the pain of needles and knives! Every inch of his flesh was not spared, desperately clamoring for him to let go of this woman and get away from the pain!

But how could he let go?

Chuchu is now suffering the same pain as him, or even worse. What reason does he have to abandon her and leave?

Xiao Yu opened his eyes with great effort and saw that Xu Chuchu's frown in his arms had relaxed a little, and it seemed that he was not as unbearable as before. He suddenly felt that all the torture he had endured was worth it.

Well, well, at least his efforts were worthwhile.

At least... he could secretly hug her again.

This feeling was a long-lost sweetness and warmth, so sweet that he almost didn't feel the pain wrapped around his body.

He hugged Xu Chuchu tighter, resting his cheek on the back of her neck, and gave all his spiritual power without reservation.

If it makes you feel better, it's worth sacrificing my life.

…

I don’t know when it started, but Xu Chuchu felt that her health was not so bad anymore.

The pain did not subside, but the biting chill that accompanied the pain gradually disappeared.

What surged into her body was not only the cold spiritual power of the pool water, but also a burning power of warmth and warmth, which helped her drive away the cold that was clinging to her like waterweed.

Xu Chuchu didn't notice what was happening. He just thought he was used to it. After he felt better, he sped up the circulation of his spiritual power and began to continuously challenge the upper limit of his body's tolerance.

Level five, level six... and then, level seven!

The moment she reached the seventh level, the power in her body exploded, and she felt that all her internal organs were impacted and squeezed!

The human body's ability to withstand stress is limited. Even if her body's capacity is large enough, it is impossible for her to reach three levels in a short period of time!

She had to try her best to stay steady, gather her willpower, and tell herself not to give up, not to fall down halfway!

She swam quickly to the shore, put her hands on the shore and tried to climb up, but her body felt like it had been run over by a truck eight hundred times. The pain was so severe that she couldn't move her body at all.

She realized that even if she could successfully change her fate later, her body had been severely damaged and would be difficult to recover.

...Suddenly she wanted someone to come and help her.

Or someone comes along and tells her not to go on.

But this is impossible, she has chosen to bear it alone.

Xu Chuchu closed her eyes and then suddenly opened them, moving her body to the edge of the pool in one go.

We've already come this far, giving up now would be a joke!

She finally limped to her feet and headed straight towards the Imperial Observatory, the Grand Master.

The energy fluctuations she had just used to reach the seventh level might have attracted their attention. She had to hurry, even faster! It would be best if she could reach the tower before the Grand Master realized it.

After climbing over a palace wall, Xu Chuchu found a bundle under a bush. Inside it were her floating umbrella, Taoist talismans, other weapons, and the short sword. She had asked Daju to help her hide these things here.

She quickly put the things on her body, and then broke into the Grand Master's lair, which was the gate of the Imperial Observatory.
