The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1147

Alex was focused. He ignored the luscious thighs that were within his reach while carving the jade bit by bit using the dragon bone needle in his hand that had gathered his spiritual powers in his hand, as if the dragon bone needle was as heavy as a thousand pounds. At this moment, the only thing that was in his eyes was the jade and the formation blueprint in his mind. This was a process that had to be completed in one go. During the period, the spiritual power must not be broken and the coherence had to be maintained. When Cheryl noticed that he was not giving any attention to her. In that instant, she was slightly angry. ‘Is my charm so terrible? I’ve taken the initiative to sit right in front of you. Even my bottom is barely covered up, yet you’re unconcerned?’ ‘Alright, I’ll move in closer.’ She moved herself a little closer. Her skin touched Alex’s hand as well. Alex immediately moved her hand to the side and said, “Don’t move!” Cheryl bit her own reddish lips as she felt that she had received ten thousand points of critical damage. After that, she seemed to understand Alex’s intention. ‘Could it be that this guy doesn’t want to step up in the relationship with me because he is afraid to be responsible. Then, he uses a method like this to divert his attention, right?’ As she pondered on that thought, her enthusiasm earlier was gone at once. She was heartbroken. “I’ll go to bed first!” She dropped that sentence and climbed onto the bed by herself. The air conditioning was quite cold. She immediately got under the covers and even took off the bath towel on her. When she saw Alex was still sitting in front of the table in a very calm manner without worldly passions and carving that emerald in his hand, she was so angry that she took the bath towel in her hand and threw it with a whoosh. It just happened to cover Alex’s head. However, he did not even move his butt for a bit. She was sad. She was really sad! Chery laid underneath the covers as her delicate body trembled slightly. Unconsciously, tears clouded her eyes. She asked herself, ‘What is my status in Alex’s mind? Could it be that my feelings are fake? Love is really elusive, and that is why I don’t dare…’ Meanwhile, Alex finally carved the final stroke of the formation blueprint in his mind onto the emerald’s surface. At the moment when the formation blueprint was formed, a faint yellow light shone on the jade pendant. Waves of essence flowed and formed a closed loop. In that instant when Alex activated the formation blueprint with his spiritual power, the word “Rei” from an ancient text appeared on the jade pendant. This was the core of the formation blueprint that Alex had carved earlier, it was a piece of defensive amulet. “It’s done!” Alex let out a long breath of relief as he put the dragon bone needle back into the mind palace. Only then did he take off the bath towel covering his head. He put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it. There was an enticing aroma at once. He took a glance at Cheryl who was underneath the covers. “Are you asleep?” Chery’s eyelashes fluttered but she was silent. Alex looked at her for a few seconds and he scratched his head. He also did not know what to do with the situation. ‘Isn’t it too shameless to sleep straight through?’ So, he simply picked up another piece of emerald jade and started carving again. *** Cheryl did not even remember when she fell asleep yesterday. The sky was already bright when she woke up. She looked at the other side of the bed. Nobody was there at all. Then, she looked at the chair at the end of the bed. Nobody was there either. Where was Alex? She sat up and let out an exclaim immediately afterwards after realizing that she was not wearing anything on her. She immediately looked for her clothes and put them on. At first, she thought Alex was in the toilet but when she walked up to it, the toilet was so empty that not even a shadow was inside. At that moment, she got nervous. ‘Alex?’ ‘He couldn’t have run away in advance, right?’ Just when she was flustered and was about to take out her phone to call Alex, he walked in from outside.
