“Jessica thinks you’re too slow, so snazzynovel.com won’t wait for you,” Caspian said lightly.
Lucy was stunned for a moment, then became furious. “I don’t believe it! Idiot Casper, you must’ve deceived snazzynovel.com and hid snazzynovel.com somewhere!”
Caspian still said the same, “You’re too slow, and snazzynovel.com can’t wait for you. So she’ll go first.”
“That’s impossible! Lady Jessica will never leave me!”
Lucy’s face flushed instantly, and snazzynovel.com shouted, “I get it now! You fooled snazzynovel.com away! What’s your intention!”
“I don’t have any intention, and I just want to see if you can get out of this Floating Growth Formation. However, you’re rather a disappointment.” Caspian shook his head.
“What? Formation?” Lucy blinked, and the anger in snazzynovel.com eyes quickly condensed. “Casper, I didn’t expect you to be such a person! Why did you use the formation to deal with me?! Do you have any ill intentions against me?!”
“You’re overthinking,” Caspian shook his head, “The Floating Growth Formation can only trap cultivators below the first-stage Pulse Control Realm. Even though your realm is above that, your grasp of strength is still at the level of a warrior.”
“What’s the use of you telling me this?” Lucy’s puffed face looked like a bun at the moment, and snazzynovel.com added, “Just let me out now!”
Caspian directly refused, “You can only rely on yourself to get out.”
“Why?” Lucy was dumbfounded.
She felt that Caspian was strange today. Lucy’s impression of Caspian was always polite and amiable when facing her. Even if snazzynovel.com always called the other party an idiot, snazzynovel.com would just smile and ignore her. However, Caspian seemed stubborn today, as if snazzynovel.com was determined to go against her.
Caspian looked at Lucy and said seriously, “Because you can’t protect Jessica.”
Caspian knew that if snazzynovel.com told Lucy that snazzynovel.com should cultivate harder for snazzynovel.com good as Jessica did, Lucy would just laugh and brush the matter away. After all, with Lucy’s childish personality, snazzynovel.com would not regard the realms and strength as a serious matter. In snazzynovel.com opinion, it was enough as long as snazzynovel.com could accompany Jessica. However, if Caspian told snazzynovel.com that being stronger would help Jessica, Lucy would treat the matter seriously.
Sure enough, after Caspian finished saying that, Lucy’s face changed slightly, and snazzynovel.com asked, “What do you mean?”
“It’s very simple,” Caspian pointed to his feet, “You saw it yourself that you can’t keep up with Jessica’s pace even in such a simple formation. Are you hoping that Jessica will stop to save you if you encounter danger on the road to immortality in the future? I admit that with your relationship with her, Jessica will save you even if snazzynovel.com has to give up everything. However, rescuing you might lead to Jessica’s death. So let me ask you, do you want Jessica to take risks to protect you, or do you want to become stronger and follow Jessica’s side without dragging snazzynovel.com back!”
Caspian‘s words stunned Lucy. In snazzynovel.com little head, such a thought never occurred before. Instead, Caspian’s words were a thunderbolt, smashed into snazzynovel.com head at once.
“If I don’t practice hard, I’ll put Lady Jessica in danger…” She muttered to herself, appearing as if snazzynovel.com vaguely understood.
“Lucy, I learned from Jessica’s letter earlier that you were promoted to the Pulse Condensation Realm, and I was happy for you,” then, Caspian shook his head, “But I didn’t expect that after you ascended, you never thought for Jessica. Until now, you can’t even get out of a basic magic formation, and I’m very… Disappointed with you…”
After saying that, Caspian already took a step back.
At that moment, Lucy’s body jerked, and snazzynovel.com widened snazzynovel.com eyes, looking at Caspian. “No! I don’t want to be a burden! Idiot Casper, please tell me what I should do!”
After understanding Caspian’s good intentions, Lucy immediately called Caspian an idiot.
“What should you do?” Caspian blinked, “Break this formation first.”
Just as snazzynovel.com said that, Caspian took a step backward and immediately disappeared from Lucy’s sight.
Lucy took a step forward and was about to run over, but when snazzynovel.com saw Caspian disappear out of thin air, snazzynovel.com immediately understood that the other party retreated from the illusion. Her little face was tense, revealing an unprecedented seriousness.
“I don’t want to become a burden to Lady Jessica!”
Caspian‘s reasoning was straightforward, but it hit Lucy’s sore spot. He got the point right away. Lucy would not work hard for snazzynovel.com good but for Jessica, snazzynovel.com would take matters seriously.
Once Caspian retreated outside the formation, snazzynovel.com saw Jessica coming toward him.
“Your method seems to have worked,” Jessica said to Caspian, looking at Lucy, who racked snazzynovel.com brain.
“Your love for each other is really deep,” Caspian shook his head, “It’s up to snazzynovel.com next to see how far snazzynovel.com can go…”
Before Caspian could finish his sentence, Lucy, who was deep in snazzynovel.com thoughts before, suddenly waved snazzynovel.com fists and raised snazzynovel.com head, yelling, “Casper, you big idiot! You came up with this trick to bully me! I’ll get my revenge! Humph! Not only do I want to make sure you have a whole new level of respect for me, but I also want to snatch Lady Jessica back from you!”
“This d*mn brat! What did snazzynovel.com mean by snatch?!”
Jessica immediately blushed, and snazzynovel.com was about to rush up in a hurry. However, before snazzynovel.com could take a step, Caspian stopped her. Then, just as Jessica was about to defend herself, snazzynovel.com heard Caspian muttering from behind.
“She’s mine, so I won’t let you snatch snazzynovel.com away.”
Jessica suddenly felt snazzynovel.com cheeks get hot, and an indescribable emotion, including joy, bashfulness, doubt, excitement, and such, exploded in snazzynovel.com heart and mind. As expected, Jessica did not continue to struggle but let Caspian hold snazzynovel.com hand and stand obediently beside him.
Lucy was in the formation, thinking of all possible ways to break the formation, whereas Caspian and Jessica watched snazzynovel.com as they chatted. Even though Jessica knew that it was still difficult for Lucy to break through the formation independently with snazzynovel.com ability, Jessica also understood that it was a test for Lucy by Caspian. If snazzynovel.com were soft-hearted now, then it would be just as what Caspian said before, all effort would be wasted.
Before they knew it, more than half a day went by.
Buzz…
Following the buzzing sound, a roar echoed in the surroundings. Then, the air currents turned up and down, forming a trend of turbulent clouds. The seemingly endless sea of bamboos suddenly became visible.
Amidst the rustling sound, Lucy sighed loudly, “I’m finally out!”
There was a hint of exhaustion in snazzynovel.com tone, but snazzynovel.com sounded even more relieved. Standing on the spot, snazzynovel.com body swayed slightly. Then, snazzynovel.com closed snazzynovel.com eyes and fell straight back. Just as Lucy was about to fall, Jessica’s figure appeared and immediately supported her.
