Junshi kissed her again but this time with more passion
" You love kisses," Jia said with a grunt
" Don't blame me. Blame your lips. They taste like heaven " Junshi said with a devilish grin
Jia stared at him with raised eyebrows and pulled him in for a French kiss
Junshi stared in disbelief
" I didn't know you liked it, " Junshi said with a sly smile
Jia just smiled
" Have I ever told you that you are very very cute?" Jia said in a husky voice
" No. But I'll take that as a compliment " Junshi said with an equally low voice
He wasn't too skinny or too muscular. Just the type She liked in her past life as Tianshi Xue
Junshi hugged her tightly
His hug was full of warmth and comfort. That instantly melted Jia's heart
" I'd like us to check out something. I think it would be fun " Junshi said
Jiasignaledd for him to continue
" As you know, There's no sign of actual life here but somehow, life appears. Though they seem crazed or delusional " Junshi explained
" And you want us to find out why and possibly play hero? I'm not sure " Jia said with indignation
" No. We're going for our gains " Junshi said with a subtle wink
" That's more like it. So, what's the plan " Jia said practicing the vertical square strike
It was a very complicated strike but luckily, the book had step-by-step instructions
A pop sound was heard
Dark clouds gathered over Jia
Junshi immediately stood in front of her
" Get out of the way, will you? " Jia said with a slightly crossed expression
" This is going to hurt, " Junshi said stepping out of the way
A lightning tribulation was about to begin
Jia sat in a cross-legged manner and shut her eyes. She held the katana above her head. The katana seemingly had a will of its own and flew toward Junshi leaving Jia alone
The first lightning bolt struck Jia causing blood to drip from her body
Bolts of lightning followed after each stronger than the last. Now, Jia was extremely battered. The only reason she was alive was because of her willpower
The clouds rumbled loudly. Another bolt was coming. It took the form of a Phoenix
The bolt hit her causing Jia's body to be torn apart. She had successfully broken through to the supreme realm because she didn't die
Jia's body was constantly being torn apart and reconstructed several times
Her reconstructed body was made stronger and faster.
Jia was on a whole new level now. She emanated the aura of power.
Jia moved closer to Junshi with a crazy smile. Her eyes were a slightly different color. She knocked him over in one hit
She had temporarily dislocated his shoulder blade
He tried to hide the pain with a smile
Junshi handed Jia her katana and moved back but she just walked away. He breathed a sigh of relief
She turned to face him with an unsheathed katana and she performed a strike called the 'floating boat '
This strike knocked Junshi high into the air. As he was about to land, she performed another strike with one hand. The attack completely aimed at Junshi's heart. Junshi dodged the strike and quickly did an attack called the ' Wave '.This strike stopped Jia's movement
" Why are you attacking me? " Junshi asked with a frown
Jia only smiled calmly
" No no no don't smile, just tell me what is wrong," Junshi said taking several steps backward
" Why are you running " Jia finally spoke
Her voice sounded completely different
" This is not you, " Junshi said with a frown
Jia sighed in boredom and a phoenix came out of her body
" You're so boring. You can't even pose a threat " The phoenix said with a half-threatening gaze
" And get myself massacred in the most brutal way possible " Junshi muttered under his breath
" I heard you, " The phoenix said
Seeing Jia's expression change, it became silent
" Cherry " Jia said in her usual warm voice
Junshi was hesitant because of the phoenix's threatening gaze
" It's fine. She won't do anything at this stage. Unless she possesses me. This is the elemental phoenix " Jia said with a smile
The phoenix flashed different colors before returning to its phantom color
The phoenix flashed its fangs in what it thought to be a friendly smile
Jia moved closer to him
"Elemental phoenix, do something about him. Good things of course" Jia said with an eye roll
" Don't Even think of it " Junshi said planning how to escape
The phoenix sealed the space around him. She also made it hard for Junshi to move
" Not so fast are we? " The phoenix said in a musical voice
" I promise. it won't be as painful as hers. A phoenix never lies " The elemental phoenix said
" Fine. Do you mind lifting the restrictions? " Junshi asked
The phoenix shook its head and paused to think
" Try to absorb them as fast as you can, " The phoenix said hurling energy blasts in Junshi's direction
Junshi was absorbing the energy blasts at a very high speed. purple Clouds appeared over Junshi
" Yikes. He's going to have a gravity tribulation " The phoenix said with wide eyes
The elemental phoenix and Jia sealed their energy signatures completely
Jia watched as Junshi was put under extreme conditions. He was in excruciating pain
The phoenix touched her shoulder
" He'll be fine. " The phoenix reassured
A moment of silence ensued
"We need to talk. I'll give you my powers though somehow I'll still have them. You can have that. What do you have to offer? " The phoenix said like a shrewd businessman
"What do you want?" Jia asked
"How about you give me him, " The phoenix said pointing to Junshi
" No. Offer something else or you can get going " Jia said coldly
The phoenix was taken aback
"I I It's fine. I was only joking around. I will live in you and absorb a part of the spiritual energy you absorb. Every full moon, I will possess you. You will be completely under my control. You'll do whatever I want. And no, I am not a wolf " The phoenix said
" That's fine. " Jia agreed
She unsealed her energy signature and saw Junshi's body being constantly torn apart and reconstructed in a very fast cycle. He was now a divine being. He had two wolf ears on his head
" You treacherous little phoenix. You said it won't hurt " Junshi said with a sneer
" Oh well...That wasn't my fault " The phoenix said
A group of people riding on winged horses soon appeared
The elemental phoenix vanished from sight
