The Geared Immortal

Chapter 515

/*unedited*/

SSJishui Building, General Manager's room

Inside a room, a tall young man wearing a dark gray cultivator's robe stood while holding in his arm an unmoving metal figure. He slowly extended his hand towards the temple and within just a few seconds the mask covering the face quickly opens.

Then he extended his hand towards the beautiful woman's face inside that mask.

"Hey… hey… hey you… what… what are you doing?" suddenly a handsome young man interrupted with a shaking voice.

Shin Jiao slowly shifted his gaze to the young man and smirked. Not long after that, Qian Li's eyes began to flutter as they slowly open along with her body moving.

"You're awake!" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"You… it's you… what… what happened?" she said but when she saw that she was in the man's arms, she suddenly jumps back.

However, how could she escape Shin Jiao's arms?

"Don't move yet, your body is still recovering…" Shin Jiao said calmly.

Then he shifted his gaze towards the young man who is already shaking in fear from his presence alone.

"You have some nice drugs there." Shin Jiao just said casually.

In fact, he was too amazed after absorbing the particles in the air using his domain. His poison essence was in fact was jumping with glee upon coming in contact with the new compound man-made poison materials.

It immediately analysis the things and began producing samples of them inside his dantian.

When Shin Jiao was about to enter the room at that time, this young man appears from the corner. Hence he stops and just hid in the shadows. The entourage of the young man stayed outside and he came waltzing inside the room.

Then he discovered that this young man is actually a prince and that he is currently trying to woo Qian Li. It was all fine with Shin Jiao as he knew it was time for her to at least have a family. But then he suddenly discovers the despicable act of the young man and this angered him a little. So he spread his absolute sense inside the room and cleans it up while spreading the rest outside to the guards making them fall unconscious.

Then he decided to appear and help his old subordinate.

When Qian Li was now able to move her body well, Shin Jiao just let her go and slowly walked towards the handsome young man.

"Wait! Wait! Don't come closer! I… I am the 12th prince of the Wu kingdom… if you dare hurt me, my uncle would not you and your family live for long." He threatened.

"Pfft!" Shin Jiao could not help himself but chuckle.

"Is this the common trait of scheming people? When their plans fail they would rely on their backing?"

"Umm… he is actually telling the truth. The king of the Wu kingdom is close to his family. That is the reason for his audacity." Suddenly Qian Li said on the side.

"Oh… so that's the reason why you are hesitating." Shin Jiao muttered.

"Haha… that's right! I am the beloved nephew of the king of Wu kingdom… So if I were you, I would agree with the condition. Princess Li, both of us can benefit from this cooperation you know... Just... just like your friend, Princess Qin Lou, I too can give you power and protection." Suddenly Ben Wu gained the courage to say these words.

But before he can continue, he stopped as he saw the glare on Qian Li's eyes.

"Do you think you are the same as Prince Li Yan Xi? Don't compare yourself with an honorable man, you shameless bastard!" shouted Qian Li.

This reaction surprised Shin Jiao for a bit. He didn't expect that Qian Li would have high regard for the current crown prince. Now he is curious about the situation in the empire. How the prince did become such a person that even Qian Li would respect?

Although he didn't quite remember the crown prince, the fragments of memories he had with him at that time made Shin Jiao felt like the prince was a very sincere young man. He has treated Shin Jiao with respect and the two of them shared the two dragons which once ruled this continent.

So his opinion about crown prince Li Yan Xi is also a bit high upon realizing the respect that Qian Li is showing towards the man.

"It seems that this guy took real good care of Qian Li and Qin Lou while I am away… I wonder why that is?" he thought.

"Enough talk… let me handle this." Shin Jiao said as he didn't want to spend more time that is needed with this person anymore.

He still needs to ask Qian Li some important information. Hence he decided to take care of this guy first. Shin Jiao suddenly shifted his gaze towards Ben Wu along with a smile blooming on his face.

Upon seeing Shin Jiao's smiling face, a chill suddenly runs down the spine of Ben Wu and an unprecedented feeling of danger well-up on his heart.

Then suddenly he found himself slowly falling unconscious.

"You… what… what did you do?..." he muttered as he fell limp on the cold floor.

"Did… did you kill him? I hope you didn't… it would cause diplomatic problems between the two countries if you did." Qian Li asked feeling a huge headache coming.

"Well, I didn't want to intrude to this problem, but this man is a bit despicable do you think? So I will just teach him a little lesson on not to be so greedy and offend some people he shouldn't." Shin Jiao said as he suddenly vanished along with the prince.

Qian Li was a bit surprised but already knew of the power of the person she is trying to investigate. She now knew that the team she has sent seems to have failed their task. She is just wondering why she didn't receive any report from her people then.

She subconsciously turns her gaze towards her mobile phone and saw a couple of missed calls and some messages. Upon reading a helpless expression appear on her face. The message was a warning for her to be careful. It was sent by one of the agents.

"Well…" a voice appears behind her which almost made her jump in fright.

"… since I'm already here, why are you not greeting me?" Shin Jiao asked with a smile.

But then the expected reaction from Qian Li was a bit of a surprise for him.

"Who… who are you, really?" she asked with a bit of hesitation.

Shin Jiao was suddenly feeling out of words for a second as he didn't know what to say. But then he remembers something that he hit his forehead.

"Ai… Sorry, I got used to wearing this for a while now that I thought it was my own face… Haha…" Shin Jiao said with a sheepish smile.

Then he removes the mask on his face with a wave of his hand.

And like magic, his face suddenly turned into his original handsome and young face, and immediately showed a smile at Qian Li.

In truth, Qian Li already has her suspicion a while back when they first met. You can call it as her woman's sixth sense. However, she could not confirm it. When she heard of a group coming from the other side from Qin Lou, she was elated. This is true especially when she heard that Shin Jiao is with them.

She knew that her master was not dead and has waited for him even until now. And then she learned of the truth and became elated.

All of her sentiment and pent up feelings for many years have congregated making her turn cold towards other men. And because of this, she focuses herself on gaining strength and power to protect her master's legacy. Deep in her heart, she knew that he would return someday.

But then, something happened and she was a bit depressed. She wanted to vent her frustrations and began accepting missions once again. And from there she has a chance encounter with Shin Jiao.

And now, in front of her, is the person she has been waiting for more than 12 years. And she can't explain the happiness in her heart. She was too happy that her heart ached. She was too emotional that her mouth could not open themselves to talk.

She was too taken aback that her mind went blank.

Her emotion began to flood her heart like a heavy rain filling a dam. And that dam is slowly begun to overflow and the water of emotion has nowhere else to go but to pour out of her beautiful sparkling eyes.

Her vision began to blur due to the number of tears coming out of her eyes as they flow uncontrollably sliding down her rosy cheeks like small streams of a flowing river.

*sob *sob

She began to sob as she could not help herself anymore and cry like a little innocent child. Her eyes didn't leave Shin Jiao's figure or blink even though they turned blurry as she is afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

The pitiful crying Qian Li made Shin Jiao's heart a bit guilty. Hence he slowly walked towards her and hug her in his strong yet gentle arms.

*Wuu *Wuu

Once she felt the strong presence of the man she admires and truly loves, Qian Li began to wail. She also hugs him tightly without the intention of letting go. The longtime of separation made her felt tortured to the point of her mind almost breaking.

But now, upon seeing his master and being enclosed in his strong and warm hug, Qian Li feels that everything that she has experienced and the time spent with her heartbroken and in pain are all a dream… a very bad dream.
