Chapter 1379: Chapter 0784: You Don’t Agree, Huh? Chapter 1379: Chapter 0784: You Don’t Agree, Huh? Chapter 0784: Do You not Accept This?

On the brink of exhaustion and facing imminent death, Xiao Xiaowu only needed a slight disturbance to end his life. Fortunately, he encountered Qi Tian, who spared no expense in saving him. With Qi Tian’s help, Xiao Xiaowu’s vital energy grew robust once more, and his withered body regained flesh and blood, no longer appearing as ghastly as before.

Feeling as if he had just experienced a nightmare, Xiao Xiaowu slowly opened his eyes, half-expecting to be greeted by the sight of hell. Instead, what appeared before him was not the face of a ghostly Rakshasa, but the face of Qi Tian.

“Qi Tian? Am I dreaming, or are you really here? Did you also fall victim to Emperor Tian Rui’s malice?”

Constantly monitoring Xiao Xiaowu’s condition, Qi Tian heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing his question. The Mansion Master was saved at last. He smiled and said, “Mansion Master, I came specifically to rescue you. Heaven was merciful; if I had been even a few seconds late, we would have been separated by life and death. Now, you should focus on recovering. Don’t worry about anything else for the time being. We’ll talk more after you’ve fully recovered. Here, take these medicinal pills to aid your recovery.”

Qi Tian stuffed a bottle of medicinal pills into Xiao Xiaowu’s hand and summoned Liuli Sha, instructing Liuli Sha to stay by Xiao Xiaowu’s side to protect him.

Xiao Xiaowu had many questions, but knowing his physical state couldn’t handle it, he opened the pill bottle Qi Tian had given him, took out one pill, and immediately showed an astonished expression. Such high-quality pills were rarely seen, only in Wanjie City had he come across them, but he was never willing to spend the money to buy them. Never did he expect that Qi Tian would give him a whole bottle, containing at least several dozen pills. It was a sign of Qi Tian’s filial piety. Filled with relief and immense gratitude, Xiao Xiaowu placed the pill into his mouth and swallowed it, beginning his cultivation to recuperate.

Qi Tian returned to the side of the Array. He had just dragged Xiao Xiaowu out of the Array by force, which had caused it to break. Meanwhile, another National Master, who was suppressed in the center of the Array and unable to continue absorbing the magic of Emperor Tian Rui and the others, resulted in Emperor Tian Rui and another National Master, positioned at the other two corners of the triangular setup, miraculously still being alive. However, they were both close to death and would have undoubtedly died if Qi Tian had chosen not to treat them.

Qi Tian looked at Emperor Tian Rui for a few moments. He harbored not a shred of goodwill towards Emperor Tian Rui and couldn’t care less about his life or death. Yet, in the end, Qi Tian decided to save Emperor Tian Rui, not for any other reason but because he needed Emperor Tian Rui to issue an imperial edict. This would allow him to return to the Great Zhao Nation and ensure his supported Prince Zhao could legitimately inherit the throne of the Great Zhao Nation, without attracting criticism from all around.

As for the other unfortunate National Master who was in the same predicament as Emperor Tian Rui, Qi Tian did not want to bother with him, as his life or death had nothing to do with Qi Tian.

Qi Tian approached Emperor Tian Rui, took some Spirit Milk Ointment, pried open Emperor Tian Rui’s mouth, and placed it inside. The Spirit Milk Ointment was an exceptionally rare natural treasure, containing considerable Spirit Qi. But compared to the Spirit Liquid he used on Master Xiao, it was much less potent.

Even so, Emperor Tian Rui rapidly absorbed the Spirit Milk Ointment, which moistened his dried-up meridians and body in a very short time, reversing his fate that had almost passed through Ghost Gate.

However, Emperor Tian Rui had been severely drained, and the small amount of Spirit Milk Ointment Qi Tian gave him was like a drop in the bucket.

With great difficulty, Emperor Tian Rui opened his eyes, which were extremely blurry. He could only discern a humanoid figure swaying before him, unable to tell whether it was a person or the gender.

Emperor Tian Rui murmured with his lips, pleading in a weak, intermittent voice, “Please, give me some more, I beg you. I am willing to agree to any condition you have.”

If not for Qi Tian’s exceptional hearing, he might not have caught Emperor Tian Rui’s words. Hoping for Emperor Tian Rui to issue an imperial edict for him, Qi Tian took out some more Spirit Milk Ointment for the emperor to swallow.

Emperor Tian Rui’s spirit improved a bit, and his vision restored to some extent. Although still a bit bleary-eyed, he could now make out Qi Tian’s figure—but his body remained extremely weak and his meridians dried up.

“Who are you? Can you give me some more of the Spirit Milk Ointment from before?”

Emperor Tian Rui made another request to Qi Tian, but the subtle change in his attitude towards Qi Tian, his savior, was evident from his tone and content. He no longer placed himself at a servile level, dust beneath the feet.

Qi Tian seemed not to notice the subtle shift in Emperor Tian Rui’s attitude, squatting beside him to let the emperor see him more clearly. “Your Majesty, take a good look. Are you sure you don’t recognize me?”

Qi Tian had never met Emperor Tian Rui, but he was quite certain the emperor knew what he looked like. Before Emperor Tian Rui had entered the Imperial Family Secret Territory, Qi Tian had already caused a stir in the Great Zhao Nation that the emperor could not have ignored.
