Chapter 4196 — How to Work Together
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
Before this, the Golden Core stage had only ever appeared in her dreams. Never mind Golden Core—even reaching Foundation Establishment great perfection within ten years would have been quite good. To truly condense a Golden Core by her own strength, leaving aside whether she even had that much potential, would have been a matter of at least several decades.
Although she held a Ten Thousand Crossing Golden Core Fruit in her hand, to find someone to refine it into a Golden Core Pill was incredibly difficult—such a holy fruit of that caliber! And even if she found a pill refiner of sufficient rank, success was not guaranteed.
After all, for the vast majority of pill refiners, the higher the grade of the pill, the lower the success rate. This was common knowledge no one could evade. If Huang Xiaotao really had gone out holding this Ten Thousand Crossing Golden Core Fruit to seek help, not only would she have spent a huge sum of spirit jade, the final result would most likely have been losing the chicken and the eggs alike—her entire investment down the drain.
But with Wei Zhao, not only could he refine pills, he had actually succeeded on the first try. Even with Huang Xiaotao's limited experience of the world, she at least knew that the Golden Core Pill was a fifth-grade pill—and moreover a top-tier one among fifth-grade pills. An ordinary pill refiner could not possibly produce it!
For a moment, Huang Xiaotao's eyes sparkled with strange brilliance as she looked at Wei Zhao. From their first meeting at Huicai Tianwu Mountain onward, she suddenly realized that her whole life had become wonderful.
Every time she saw Wei Zhao, there was an unexpected surprise. A Golden Core expert—what a distant rank that was! Yet now it had been achieved with such ease, and all of it was Wei Zhao's doing.
Possessing both strength and character, able to refine pills, and able to help others achieve perfect breakthroughs—all these things piled together made Wei Zhao seem simply like a mysterious, extraordinary man.
Such a man was enough to move any girl's heart, especially since he was so good to her, Huang Xiaotao. First there was the debt of saving her life, and afterward he had helped restore her appearance and raise her strength. If Huang Xiaotao still did not feel her heart stir, that would truly be strange.
Moved by her feelings, Huang Xiaotao suddenly rose on tiptoe and gave Wei Zhao a light, dragonfly-skimming-water kiss on the cheek. Then with a soft murmur she darted into Wei Zhao's embrace, her face blushing red to the roots of her ears.
"Then... how about you take me today..." Huang Xiaotao, blushing, mustered her courage and whispered softly by Wei Zhao's ear.
One had to remember that Huang Xiaotao was completely naked at this moment. Such a peerless beauty rubbing and nuzzling in his arms like that—and saying such heart-racing words besides—anyone might have lost their self-control.
Even with Wei Zhao's astonishing composure, at this moment his heart could not help but stray, and he could barely resist the urge to take Huang Xiaotao right then and there. But on second thought, time was short now—the inner-sect tournament was drawing close!
"The business between men and women is certainly alluring, but it's also easy to lose yourself in it. The inner-sect tournament is almost here. Right now I'd better help you consolidate your strength as quickly as possible, and then we can study together how we should coordinate." Leaning on his last shred of willpower, Wei Zhao said this while struggling to swallow.
"Ah?... Mm-hm!" Huang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, then nodded again and again with a bashful expression, secretly blushing with shame. She really had been too impatient. At this critical juncture, if they exhausted themselves over such a thing and it affected the inner-sect tournament right before them, it would be too late for regret.
