Chapter 491: Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-One: Healing Wounds_3

"The reason I don’t leave is because I am worried about the antics of these strong followers in the army.

"Not even the Northern Border Army might be entirely clean, let alone these strong followers; they are people from the sects summoned by The Imperial Court. Although they all swear loyalty to the Imperial Family, it is uncertain which Prince they actually follow in secret. Now that Qingyan is so weak, it is not impossible for someone to make a move on her."

The assassination attempt on Nan Jinxi made Xu Yuan worry that someone might repeat the act.

Better safe than sorry.

"......"

Luo Xiran was very clever, clever enough to guess the meaning behind Xu Yuan’s words almost instantly.

After a quiet moment,

she sighed with a hint of complexity in her tone:

"Such pointless struggles, no wonder the great calamity of the world is coming."

"Pointless?"

Xu Yuan glanced indifferently at the Jade Pendant in his palm:

"Cultivators are also humans, how many can truly be detached from worldly affairs?"

At these words, Luo Xiran chuckled:

"Just a sigh, little ghost. You better hurry up. Ten thousand years have passed, and I’m not sure if the ingredients for the Life Reversal Liquid are completely extinct."

"....."

Xu Yuan flipped his hand and took out the half-dose of Life Reversal Liquid from the Sumeru Ring, just as he was about to speak, a cold female voice that had been absent for four days suddenly came from inside the room:

"Changtian, come in for a moment."

"...."

Hearing her voice, Xu Yuan turned and pushed open the door, looking at the woman dressed in red sitting on the couch:

"Have you recovered?"

Li Qingyan opened her eyes, her pupils shone with a cold light:

"If this palace had not recovered, do you really wish to wait until you completely turn into a ghoul?"

As Xu Yuan walked in slowly, a flame rose up in the dark room, illuminating her still slightly pale cheeks.

Sitting down next to her naturally, Xu Yuan smiled and said:

"What, worried about me?"

Li Qingyan narrowed her eyes:

"Don’t talk nonsense."

Xu Yuan chuckled and shook the Life Reversal Liquid in front of her:

"Aren’t I preparing to start now?"

"....."

Li Qingyan looked at the Life Reversal Liquid in his hand and said three words:

"At the door?"

Xu Yuan scanned the room:

"This room of yours doesn’t have any protective capabilities either."

"No protective capability means at least it won’t be in plain sight."

Li Qingyan, pale but with a sharp look in her eyes that left no room for objection, said, "Take the antidote here. I will use my Will-spirit to isolate this house. Unless they want to rebel, no one would dare to intrude."

Xu Yuan used his spirit vision to scan her energy.

It was a lot more solid than four days ago, but still weak. Using her Will-spirit must be quite a strain...

Noticing his gaze, a stern light flashed in Li Qingyan’s eyes:

"The injuries inflicted by the Barbarian King before his death that could be healed have been healed. The rest can only be mended with time. Xu Changtian, if you want to delay, then continue..."

Thump thump thump—

Before she finished speaking, Xu Yuan decisively downed the Life Reversal Liquid from the jade bottle in one gulp.

Immediately afterward,

the jade bottle shattered with a "crack" on the floor, and Xu Yuan’s expression twisted fiercely as he appeared to collapse on the ground in pain.

His energy fluctuated wildly, as if he was on the very brink of death.

"....."

Seeing this, a flicker of apprehension involuntarily passed through Li Qingyan’s eyes. She wanted to lean down to check on him but feared that she might disrupt the process.

In her hesitation, she suddenly remembered Luo Xiran who had transformed into a spirit-entity:

"Ancestor... Ancestor? What’s happening to Changtian... is this?"

"..."

After a few breaths of silence,

amidst Xu Yuan’s agony-filled roars, Luo Xiran’s gentle voice sounded very lightly:

"Don’t worry, this little rascal is putting on an act for you."

"....." Xu Yuan.

"....." Li Qingyan.
