Xiao Ruyan said in surprise, "Then His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, he . . ."
Li-er said coolly, "Just foolish concerns! The things that the Wind Emperor knows are much more than you people! The Divine Realm isn't some nice place. He can call wind and summon rain in the Fierce Gale World. Arriving at the Divine Realm, he'll truly be a bottom-tier martial artist. Invading the Endless World, giving it a nice-sounding name of thinking for the Fierce Gale World martial artists, actually, isn't it for his own personal gains?"
Xiao Ruyan widened her mouth and said, "I-It's actually like this!"
"Of course . . . ugh . . ."
Just as Li-er was talking, her brows suddenly knitted together, showing a very anguished look.
Xiao Ruyan asked in alarm, "Senior, a-are you alright?"
Chapter 441. Touched! |
Li-er's head felt as if it was splitting. She grabbed her head and forcefully withstood the pain, but her attractive body was quivering endlessly.
This scene made Xiao Ruyan turn pale with fright.
In her eyes, Li-er was practically an invincible existence. Even the Wind Emperor was played around in the palm of her hands. How could she have a headache?
"Ugh . . ."
Right then, Ye Yuan at the side muttered in his sleep and similarly had his brows tightly locked, appearing very anguished.
"Ye . . . Master, a-are you alright?"
These two individuals were like this at the same time. Xiao Ruyan was at a complete loss and did not know what she should do.
Ye Yuan opened both eyes with some difficulty and noticed that the surrounding environment was somewhat strange and familiar.
"I . . . I'm not dead yet?" Ye Yuan said feebly.
This time should be the time where he was the most severely injured since rebirth so far.
In the past, no matter how severely he was wounded, as long as he consumed medicinal pills, he would recover back to usual in less than two days.
But this time, if not for Li-er helping him to protect his heart pulse, Ye Yuan would probably have croaked already.
"D-didn't die! Master, you're so amazing, why would you die?" Xiao Ruyan sobbed softly.
"I-It's Ruyan huh. En? W-Who is she?" Ye Yuan suddenly discovered a pained look Li-er and asked weakly.
"Ah? Master, you actually don't recognize this senior?"
Xiao Ruyan even thought that these two people were surely on intimate terms. Who knew that Ye Yuan did not know her at all. This threw her into utter confusion.
"Ugh . . ." At this time, Li-er suddenly gave off an agonized groan and actually collapsed.
"Ah! Senior!"
Xiao Ruyan jumped in fright and hurriedly support Li-er, lying her flat on the ground.
"M-Master, what should I do now?" Xiao Ruyan was in a state of utter confusion and asked Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan said feebly, "N-No choice. All the essence energy in my body had fully dissipated. I completely . . . can't muster any strength at all. Why . . . Why does this girl's silhouette look . . . look somewhat familiar?"
"Master, you really don't recognize Senior?" Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Xiao Ruyan asked doubtfully.
"Don't . . . Don't recognize means . . . don't recognize. Why would I lie to you?" Ye Yuan was speechless.
From Ye Yuan's angle, he could just nice see Li-er's appearance.
This flawless face would absolutely make every male have a feeling of not bearing to defile. Even if Ye Yuan was currently severely wounded, he also had a feeling of palpitating with excitement. But Ye Yuan dared to confirm that this was absolutely his first time seeing this face.
"But . . . But Senior she rescued you from the Wind Emperor's hands. How is it possible that you don't know her?" Xiao Ruyan said in puzzlement.
This time, it was Ye Yuan's turn to be surprised. "So . . . it was her who saved me . . ."
"Yeah! Senior is incredible! Even the Wind Emperor isn't her match!"
Xiao Ruyan recounted the events after Ye Yuan fainted for Ye Yuan to listen, making Ye Yuan extremely surprised after hearing too.
"Ocular art? Could it be . . ." Ye Yuan said with a frown.
"What ocular art?" Xiao Ruyan said blankly.
"Nothing. I just thought of somebody. But . . ."
Ye Yuan precisely thought of Li-er. But the difference between the two person's looks was also too great.
Ye Yuan did not have any trace of essence energy in his body right now at all and was utterly unable to perceive Li-er's condition. So he dare not confirm either.
But looking from Xiao Ruyan's description, this was absolutely ocular arts without any doubt.
And among the people that Ye Yuan knew, only this Li-er possessed the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique.
But the problem was that Li-er only had Crystal Formation Realm strength. Could it be that Li-er deliberately hid her strength?
If Li-er could really play around with even Zhao Tianyi, then concealing her strength in front of him was not anything impressive as well.
Furthermore, the profile of this girl before his eyes was very similar to Li-er's. Was it possible . . . for the two of them to be the same person?
"Master, what should I do now?" Xiao Ruyan felt that she should do something.
"There are recovery medicinal pills in my storage ring. But I can't use any essence energy at all right now. You help me take out!" Ye Yuan said.
"Okay!" Xiao Ruyan agreed.
Every martial artist had their own unique way of opening their storage rings. As long as Ye Yuan told Xiao Ruyan the way to open, she could open it very quickly.
Xiao Ruyan followed Ye Yuan's instructions and finally found the Azure Profound Heart Nourishing Pill and let Ye Yuan swallow one.
This time, Ye Yuan's injuries were seriously too severe. Even after he consumed the Azure Profound Heart Nourishing Pill, Ye Yuan's recovery speed was still very slow.
After half a day, Ye Yuan finally recovered some strength and could barely manage to stand up.
He struggled to come before Li-er and reached for her pulse.
Towards his savior, Ye Yuan naturally could not let her be in a coma unchecked.
But with this reading of the pulse, Ye Yuan could not help being greatly alarmed. This gorgeous to the extreme girl was actually really that ugly girl, Li-er, whom he saved previously!
With this, Ye Yuan could not help being somewhat baffled.
Looking at this, him saving her back then was purely a superfluous action.
With the strength that Li-er showed, annihilating that group of people was truly too easy.
Ye Yuan suddenly recalled the instances in the Eternal Splendour Palace. Thinking about it now, it was actually Li-er protecting him in the dark!
Ye Yuan suddenly felt that he was so silly. Wasn't diverting attacks, this sort of Concept of Space, precisely one of the abilities of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye?
It was just that the situation back then was too complicated and Ye Yuan did not think too deeply as well.
Recalling it now, Ye Yuan's gratitude towards Li-er truly could not be any greater.
These many months, Li-er was actually lurking by his side the entire time and moved to assist when he was in peril.
And this time, Li-er used the Moonlight Heavenly Eye once more, causing the two kinds of spirit physiques tearing at her divine soul to be even greater, resulting to her ailment to finally erupt.
Ye Yuan knew that this was definitely the most painful time for Li-er's divine soul!
Zhao Tianyin was not some garbage opponent. Li-er inevitably exhausted considerable soul force to use the Moonlight Heavenly Eye to cast it on Zhao Tianyin. This was undoubtedly heaping one disaster on top of another to Li-er's present medical condition!
Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan involuntarily blamed himself immensely and was touched.
Looking at it now, Li-er most likely followed him and protected him because he saved her and help her diagnose her medical condition.
How could this not
move Ye Yuan?
"Master, Senior . . . is she alright?" Xiao Ruyan asked worriedly.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Won't have any major issues for the time being. But . . ."
"But what?" Xiao Ruyan asked puzzledly.
"Nothing. I indeed know her. But, her current appearance is radically different from the first time I met her. So I didn't recognize." Ye Yuan said."
"Like I said, how can Master possibly not know Senior!"
"Haha. She won't have any major problem for the time being, but I still have to recover my strength as soon as possible to help her refine some things. Ruyan, I burned 50% blood essence at one go. My body is too weak right now and simply can't refine medicinal pills. These two days, I'll guide you by the side; you'll be helping Master in recovering strength as soon as possible!" Ye Yuan said.
Chapter 442. Li-er's Background |
After half a day, Xiao Ruyan was drenched in sweat, panting daintily by the Square Cauldron's side.
"M-Master, Disciple was fortunate to not have failed the assignment and finally refined the Essence Vigor Pill!"
Although dead tired, Xiao Ruyan appeared rather excited.
The use of the Essence Vigor Pill was to help martial artists recover blood essence. It was very hard to refine High-Level Tier 3 medicinal pill.
To Xiao Ruyan, the Essence Vigor Pill was exceptionally difficult to refine. With her past standards, it was simply impossible to refine.
Yet, during this half a day period, under Ye Yuan's guidance, she actually refined successfully like water flowing when a channel was formed.
Ye Yuan had quite a number of medicinal herbs left on hand. Scraping it all together, he pooled two portions of medicinal herbs to refine the Essence Vigor Pill.
In order not to waste the medicinal herbs, Ye Yuan made Xiao Ruyan simulate many times before agreeing to her getting to work on refining.
Not surprising, the first portion was refined into a wasted dreg by her.
Later on, she simulated many more times. On the second refinement, Xiao Ruyan actually directly refined a Middle-Grade Essence Vigor Pill!
Xiao Ruyan was still drenched in sweat and actually had an aberrant style charm, making Ye Yuan's head swim.
"Cough, cough. You've worked hard,"Ye Yuan said rather embarrassedly.
But Xiao Ruyan was in a state of exhilaration right now and did not notice Ye Yuan's embarrassment. Wiping the sweat on her forehead, she said, "Not hard, not hard! Through this half a day of refining, Disciple completely has a feeling of being suddenly enlightened all at once! The things that Disciple learned in this half a day is simply even more than the things I've learned in the past few years!"
Xiao Ruyan was not praising Ye Yuan because she had affections for him, but because she really had this sort of feeling.
With Ye Yuan's horizons, he had long had a well thought out plan on Xiao Ruyan's merits and shortcomings. Guiding Xiao Ruyan was naturally highly tailored to her needs.
Quietly, Xiao Ruyan unconsciously took the place of the disciple character and really learned alchemy skills from Ye Yuan.
Alchemists all had this neurotic trait. Once they immerse into alchemy skills, they would completely be unable to extricate themselves.
Moreover, what Ye Yuan brought to Xiao Ruyan was a brand new world; it was a world that she had never imagined before in the past.
"Haha. This isn't considered much. You have to study the jade slip I gave you well. It will be of great assistance to you. But presently, we don't have the time. After I alleviate Miss Li-er's symptoms in a little while, we'll immediately head back to the Tranquil Cloud Sect," Ye Yuan said.
"Ugh . . ." Muttering and muffled groans sounded. Li-er finally slowly woke up.
"Senior!" When Xiao Ruyan saw the situation, she immediately went to support her.
Although she woke up, Li-er was still feeling groggy. A piercing pain would occasionally transmit from her brain.
"I . . . How long was I unconscious?" Li-er supported her forehead with her hand and asked rather painfully.
"Senior, you've already fainted for the greater part of a day already. Master and I were very worried about your safety. Are you better now?" Xiao Ruyan said.
"Master?" Li-er did not quite react yet. Involuntarily lifting her head, she just happened to meet with Ye Yuan's gaze.
"So, you're already awake . . ." Li-er suddenly did not quite know how to face Ye Yuan. After all, her appearance was rather unexpected.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "En. Fortunately, there was Miss Li-er helping to guard my heart meridian. Otherwise, I would probably have croaked long ago already. Great kindness can't be thanked with words. Miss Li-er's sickness, leave it to Ye Yuan."
Li-er's eyelids drooped slightly as she said, "So, you already know it's me . . . But Li-er didn't help Mister Ye for the sake of carrying out this transaction with you."
Although Li-er's words were quite calm, Ye Yuan still detected a hint of her sullen anger.
"This Ye isn't making a deal with Miss Li-er either. This is a promise. I'm true to my words. No matter how arduous this promise is, this Ye will definitely accomplish it!" Ye Yuan said composedly.
Li-er trembled slightly. She could feel Ye Yuan's sincerity and resolution.
Accompanying along the way, she had a great understanding of what kind of person Ye Yuan was as well. Ye Yuan saying such words, even if he were to die, he would also fulfill his promise!
This man was absolutely true to his words!
"Thank you . . ." Li-er did not decline and just lightly said these two words.
"Miss Yue accompanied all the way and moved to help out many times. This grace, Ye Yuan engraved it in my heart. Furthermore, if not for Miss Yue making a move this time, this Ye would surely be disgraced to death. Want to thank, it's also me thanking Miss. Moreover . . . in order to save me, Miss did not stint on drawing on the power of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, resulting in your health condition deteriorating. If this Ye doesn't cure Miss, even I myself won't forgive myself!" Ye Yuan said.
This shock that Li-er received was not small. She said in astonishment, "You . . . You actually know my surname?"
Ye Yuan smiled wryly and said, "I should have guessed it long ago! The last time I met Miss Yue, you were just a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. This Ye even thought that the Lower Realms gave birth to such a monstrous spirit physique again. Thinking about it now, a natural-born Moonlight Heavenly Eye physique, apart from the Bright Moon City's Yue Family, who else could have such an innate spirit physique?"
With Ye Yuan said this, Li-er was even more shocked beyond belief. "You actually even know about Bright Moon City! You . . . Just who are you?"
Ye Yuan said helplessly, "This Ye has my own difficulties. This point isn't convenient to disclose."
Li-er was unbelievably amazed and actually forgot about her headache for a moment. How did a Lower Realms' puny little martial artist know about the Divine Realm's Bright Moon City?
The Bright Moon City's Yue Family was renowned throughout the Divine Realm for their ocular arts. And the person who possesses the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique, casting ocular arts would even be several times more powerful than ordinary people!
And even for the Yue Family, those who possessed the Moonlight Heavenly Eye was extremely, extremely few too.
These were all not secrets in the Divine Realm. But Ye Yuan was just a lower realm martial artist with an ordinary background. Just how in the world did he know this information?
Li-er had a belly full of doubts and suspicions, but she also knew Ye Yuan's character. Since he said that it was inconvenient to disclose, he clearly had things that he found hard to say. She naturally would not press on either.
"Alright then . . . Since Mister Ye even knows about Bright Moon City, then I'll re-introduce myself. I'm called Yue Mengli. I'm precisely a member of the Bright Moon City's Yue Family," Yue Mengli sucked in a deep breath and said.
"Yue Mengli . . . It is a
s the name suggests. It's a fine name!" Ye Yuan reminisced this name.
At this instant, Ye Yuan's thoughts drifted back to the one and only time he went to Bright Moon City in his previous life.
At that time, he answered Bright Moon City's invitation and went to refine a Tier 9 medicinal pill for the Bright Moon City Lord.
During this trip, he happened to see a girl akin to rouge and jade once in Bright Moon City. And that girl's name seemed to be called . . . Yue Mengli!
Recalling it now, Ye Yuan finally superimposed that girl's looks and the Yue Mengli before his eyes together.
Were the transitions in life actually so coincidental . . .
"Sigh . . . What's the point of a good name either? Everyone says that beautiful girls often have tragic lives. To think that I can't escape being strung along by fate either," Yue Mengli said with a dimmed expression.
Ye Yuan recollected his thoughts and said, "Miss Yue doesn't need to be like this. The word crisis conceals profound secrets. As long as you can resolve the conflict between these two kinds of spirit physiques, not only will Miss Yue be no different from ordinary people, you'll even break out from the cocoon to become a butterfly, and become a peerlessly powerful existence!"
Chapter 443. Reuniting |
Ye Yuan's words did not improve Yue Mengli's mood much, looking as if she did not have much interest in becoming a peerless powerhouse.
"Sigh. So what if invincible under the heaven? Forget it, forget it; don't talk about this anymore. Didn't you say that only by refining a Tier 8 Medicinal pill can you let my divine soul divide? But you . . ." Yue Mengli said.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Indeed so. Furthermore, you using the power of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye this time already hurt the divine soul further. This caused your condition's flare-up to move forward some time. Right now, you . . . most likely only have two years left."
