Chapter 2435 – A Tense Moment (1)
After successfully luring Satan away, Shen Yanxiao eagerly took Xiu back to her room.
She looked at the moonlight necklace and the storage ring that she had stolen from Satan, and her eyes were filled with eagerness.
“Maybe it’s really here.” Shen Yanxiao felt that she had never been so excited.
Xiu bent down and picked up the moonlight necklace. He then took the pearl necklace made of merfolk’s tears from Shen Yanxiao’s neck with one hand and gently put the moonlight necklace back on her neck.
“Xiu, aren’t you excited?” Shen Yanxiao stared at Xiu, who seemed to lack the slightest trace of excitement. Her large, blue eyes were filled with urgency.
Xiu slightly raised the corners of his mouth into a shallow curve. He lifted Shen Yanxiao up and pressed his forehead against her little head.
“All right.”
“I’m so excited. Does the sentence Satan left mean that my previous guess was right?” Shen Yanxiao was as excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood. She was held in Xiu’s arms and her beautiful fishtail was still swaying uncontrollably.
“Perhaps.” Xiu did not give any definite answer.
“Then, shall I open it?” Shen Yanxiao stared at Xiu with sparkling eyes.
Xiu nodded his head in agreement.
Shen Yanxiao swallowed her saliva, lowered her head and looked at the dark ring in her hand.
She took the trouble to plan all this and brought Satan out to check one of her guesses.
Was Xiu’s body really stored in this ring?
Satan once said that Xiu’s body was in his hands, and Shen Yanxiao’s main goal this time was Satan’s storage ring, because she had the hunch that Xiu’s body might be in it.
The next second, Shen Yanxiao was so nervous that she felt as though her heart would leap out of her chest and the hand that held the storage ring had been shaking a little.
She and Xiu got to know each other. They learned about the other party until each fell in love with the other. What she hoped for was that they could stay together for a lifetime in the coming years.
Helping Xiu recover his body and bringing him back to life was Shen Yanxiao’s long-cherished wish. Now that the chance to realize her dream was just around the corner, she could not help but become nervous.
She was both afraid and expectant. Afraid that her guess would fall through, afraid that Satan’s previous words were just lies, and afraid that her great expectations would come to nothing. At the same time, she was also expectant. She was looking forward to the moment when she opened the ring and could see Xiu’s body inside; she was looking forward to the moment of Xiu’s complete revival, she was looking forward to the moment she could really touch him and feel his warm embrace.
Within a short minute, countless fantasies erupted in Shen Yanxiao’s mind, making her already tense nerves completely burst to the point that her hand holding the ring was not able to move half an inch.
As long as she wore the ring on her finger and used her spiritual force to activate it, she could open it up and know the result…
“I’m a little nervous.” Shen Yanxiao struggled for a long time and said in a muffled voice.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Xiu bowed his head and kissed Shen Yanxiao on the forehead. He could clearly feel the trembling of her petite body.
Shen Yanxiao was obviously more nervous than he was about recovering his body. Compared with Shen Yanxiao’s struggle, Xiu himself did not feel anything, as if that thing were not the key to his complete revival.
“Then I… I’ll really open it now.”
“Mm.”
Encouraged by Xiu, Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and slowly put the dark ring on her finger. She then tried to pour some of her spiritual force into the ring.
