Chapter 164: Planting Divine Veins

Before Zhu Lin fell to the ground, Xiu Wu quickly caught her. When he saw her pale face and felt her body temperature was unusually cold, Xiu Wu ignored anything else and carried her back to the villa.

He kicked the door open and shouted anxiously: "Tu Tu!"

A few seconds later, Tu Tu appeared in front of him. When Tu Tu saw Zhu Lin’s condition, the rabbit quickly put its paws on Zhu Lin’s body and probed into her Dantian. A second later, Tu Tu asked in surprise: "Master, why is there not even a trace of divine energy in your Dantian?!"

Seeing that Zhu Lin closed her eyes and was unable to answer Tu Tu’s questions, Xiu Wu hugged her tightly and said, "Xiao Lin, you can’t sleep! Look at me!"

Zhu Lin heard his panic words and opened her eyes with difficulty. Seeing the worried looks on Xiu Wu and Tu Tu’s faces, she wanted to speak, but she couldn’t even move her lips.

Knowing that she had exhausted all her divine energy in order to summon the divine beast Ao, Zhu Lin looked at Tu Tu and said, [Tu Tu, don’t worry. After Ao planted the divine veins, I will be fine.]

Hearing what she said, Tu Tu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master, I really admire your courage. With your current cultivation level, you really have the courage to summon the divine beast Ao."

Zhu Lin was exhausted, so she said, [I’m going to sleep for now. Please tell Xiu Wu not to worry about me.]

Seeing that its master was so weak that she didn’t even have the strength to move, Tu Tu nodded and said, "Yes, Master."

Hearing Tu Tu’s answer, Zhu Lin closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Before Tu Tu could say anything else, Xiu Wu panicked and called Zhu Lin desperately: "Xiao Lin! Open your eyes! Xiao Lin!"

Tu Tu looked at Xiu Wu’s pale face and said helplessly: "Xiu Wu, my master needs sleep to restore her divine energy. Can you stop shouting and shaking her body?"

After hearing Tu Tu’s words, Xiu Wu paused, then looked at Tu Tu and asked, "Will she be fine?"

Tu Tu nodded and said, "After that old man Ao plants the divine veins, my master will be fine. So, please stop shaking her body. My master really needs to sleep now. Otherwise, she will die."

When Xiu Wu heard that Zhu Lin could die, he was stunned for a moment and then said, "I understand."

After saying that, he carefully carried Zhu Lin back to her bedroom. Tu Tu watched him walk up to the third floor and thought to itself: ’I don’t know what my master did to the Devil God back then to make him love her so much. Even if he is reincarnated as a human being, he does not change at all. His love seemed even stronger when he began to express it without reservation.’

Walking into Zhu Lin’s bedroom, Xiu Wu carefully placed her on the bed, then he went to get hot water to wipe her body. After wiping away the cold sweat on her body, Xiu Wu covered Zhu Lin with a quilt and sat on the ground beside the bed.

He held her cold hands and tried to warm her hands with his own. He stared at her and said softly: "Xiao Lin, please don’t let anything happen to you."

While Xiu Wu was guarding Zhu Lin, not far from the villa, Ji Yang and Tan Wei were at a loss. The two of them looked at the unconscious Lu Qiu who was lying on the ground in silence. After a moment of silence, Ji Yang looked up and saw Ao floating in the air, doing something he didn’t understand.

Seeing the giant tortoise flying to another area, Ji Yang said, "It seems that what Xiao Lin said in the past is true."

After hearing what he said, Tan Wei came back to his senses. He looked at Ji Yang and asked, "What do you mean?"

Ji Yang pointed at Ao who was busy planting another divine vein and said, "Do you think an ordinary woman can summon that giant tortoise out of thin air?"

Hearing Ji Yang’s question, Tan Wei remembered the first time they met Zhu Lin. At that time, she also summoned a giant bird from the ground and flew away as if she was fleeing for her life.

After thinking about it for a moment, Tan Wei looked at the giant tortoise in the distance and said, "You are right. I don’t think Zhu Lin is an ordinary woman either."

After a long silence, the two of them looked at each other again and knew that they had the same thoughts. If what Zhu Lin said is true, then what she said about Xiu Wu is also true. Thinking that their best friend is actually the reincarnation of the Devil God of the Six Realms, Ji Yang and Tan Wei don’t know what to say.

While they were still processing the shocking information they had just found out, Ao had already planted the eight divine veins around the resort area. The giant tortoise flew back to Ji Yang and Tan Wei, and then looked at the two of them with interest.

Seeing Ji Yang and Tan Wei staring at him, Ao smiled. He took out the eight empty jade boxes and put them down on the ground in front of them. Ao then looked at Lu Qiu and saw that his body was beginning to absorb divine energy.

He then looked back at Ji Yang and Tan Wei, and said in the ancient divine language: "High God Lu Qiu will be fine after a while."

Hearing the giant tortoise say these strange words again, Ji Yang felt that these words contained some kind of mysterious power that was difficult to explain. Thinking that the giant tortoise was Zhu Lin’s pet like Tu Tu, he took a few steps forward and smiled at Ao.
