Mo Ye was dead.The xiao demon was gone.And with their fall, the foul wind and bloody rain hanging over Sunscorch Valley also ca to an end.Xia Li stood there, panting.His entire body still throbbed with afterpain.The price of using the stellar golden core's Overheat Mode truly was not small."What now? Do we leave?"Seeing the xiao demon take its own life, Qiu Fu also felt a strange emptiness in her heart.The xiao demon had been her mortal enemy.There should have been a battle between the two of them.More than that, it should have been she herself who cut the xiao demon down, to prove her own Dao-heart.But all of that had been altered by Xia Li's arrival."Wait a mont."Xia Li imdiately pulled the repair pod and nutrient fluid out of his phase ring and transferred them into the Cave Heaven Gourd."We can't stay here for long. My battle with Mo Ye and the xiao demon drew far too much attention. There are definitely many spectators around Sunscorch Valley, and among them there are certainly people from the Heaven Alliance. The mont they realize the battle is over, they'll co investigate.""And I can't withstand a second round of fighting right now. Hurry and gather the spoils. I'll heal first.""Mm..."Qiu Fu now felt rather useless.Inside the Blackstone Ancient Hall, she had watched the entire battle from beginning to end.She had seen Xia Li unleash terrifying power against a hundred-thousand-strong army and battle two great geniuses.She had thought that, at the very end, it would be her turn to clean up, to help Xia Li survive the final danger.She had never expected things to turn out this way.The xiao demon committed suicide.And all she could do was clean the battlefield."That's about enough. Hurry in!""Coming!"Once Xia Li and Qiu Fu entered the Cave Heaven Gourd, Xia Li imdiately climbed into the repair pod without another word.The gourd itself began moving under internal control from the Heaven Chip."This is a healing treasure. I estimate I'll need to lie in here for three days. Of course, I'll stay conscious the whole ti."With that, Xia Li shut the repair pod's lid.At once, nutrient fluid began flooding the interior.Once the fluid subrged him, a trace of relief appeared on Xia Li's face.Healing with Earth's technology was almost a kind of pleasure.It felt as though every cell in the body was being massaged.The nanobots went deep inside and repaired each injury with perfect precision.Burns and scalding injuries, however, differed from other wounds.Burned flesh was irreversible.Just like cooked at could not beco raw again.So a rather grisly sight soon appeared inside the repair pod.Parts of the skin and muscle across Xia Li's body began sloughing off and were suctioned into the repair pod's waste compartnt.That scene made Qiu Fu worry deeply."Are you all right?""I'm fine."Xia Li's lips did not move, but the repair pod had a speaker system that could transmit his words through the connection with his Heaven Chip."Is there anything you need to do?""No.""Am I very useless?""Not exactly. It's just that it wasn't your turn to take the field yet."Xia Li understood very well why Qiu Fu was thinking this way.But there was nothing he could really do about it.This touched her pride.And yet if pride were enough, then what need would there be for power?Pride in the face of helplessness was the thing most likely to make people suffer.That sensation of wanting to do sothing and yet being able to do nothing at all,Xia Li understood it deeply."Where do we go after this?"At this mont, Qiu Fu felt completely lost about the future.She did not want to keep following Xia Li around like so cling-on at his heels.Even if Xia Li were willing, she herself would not be."You should be asking yourself. We're currently heading toward human territory. I need to return to my sect."At this point, Xia Li had already used the Heaven Chip to connect to his communication jade slip, letting it directly synchronize the ssages he received.Lin Ye had inford him that a Harmonization Patriarch from Lingxu Cave Heaven had taken action earlier.He had acted to block a Harmonization expert from the Heaven Alliance for him.And then there was the asura.It too had co to help him through the crisis.Thinking of that, and of the fact that he had at least helped it vent so of its resentnt,Xia Li, who had once felt he might never be able to return to the sect, changed his mind.The intervention of Lingxu Cave Heaven's Harmonization Patriarch would make those within Lingxu Cave Heaven who wanted to side with the Heaven Alliance too cautious to stir up trouble for the ti being.And, on top of that, Xia Li still owed a mountain of debt back on Earth.If he didn't return and squeeze so funds out of Lin Ye, the pressure really was enormous.

Nearly two million spirit stones in debt.Converted into the coarse spirit stones used in the Profound World, that would co to sothing like 2.3 million."Then I'll go see human territory with you for now."Qiu Fu truly had nowhere to go and nowhere to return to.The fox tribe no longer existed.She had not even been given the chance to gather their remains.Their corpses had long since been ground to dust by the xiao demon's gale during the battle.She was powerless.She could do nothing.And so she could only wear a bitter expression and sigh again and again."Qiu Fu, pull yourself together. Don't go getting any ridiculous ideas!""That kind of impatient, urgent mindset is exactly what makes people easy targets. Either soone tempts you and leads you down a crooked road, or you convince yourself you can help and go throw your life away doing stupid things!"The mont Xia Li saw the look on Qiu Fu's face, he imdiately understood that there was still a flaw in how events had unfolded.The xiao demon's suicide had preserved its own inner righteousness,but it had also robbed Qiu Fu of a major tempering in her life."I'm only lanting my own weakness. We're both Golden Core. Why can you be this strong while I can only stand and watch?"Xia Li's power had stimulated Qiu Fu.They were in the sa realm, yet he had beco so strong that she could only feel despair.It was the kind of feeling that no matter how hard she chased, there would never be any hope of catching up."And why do you need to catch up to ?""If I don't, then what use am I to you?""Why do you need to be useful to ? Who are you living for? ?"Xia Li hit her with three blunt questions in a row, and all at once Qiu Fu was left speechless.She had subconsciously assud that if Xia Li was helping her so much, then it must an he hoped she could do sothing for him in return.And yet Xia Li had kept saying he was saving her only to hold a debt of gratitude over her,while never once actually seeking anything from her.It was she herself who had been impatient."I suppose... I just want to have the right to stay by your side."In this endless age of conquest and slaughter, there was one truth carved deep into the world of the Profound Realm:the weak did not deserve to follow the strong."Don't make it sound so tragic! The way I see it, you're practically waiting for so huge crisis so you can charge in front of , take a blow, then turn back with a smile and ask whether that ans you're useful now.""And all I'd say then is... if that blade landed on , I wouldn't even lose a single hair. So how are you going to smile at after throwing your own life away for nothing?"Xia Li had already seen clearly the two states Qiu Fu might fall into:reckless impatience,or turning into so tragic, self-sacrificing love-struck fool.At the end of the day, she simply lacked seasoning."Well..."Qiu Fu instantly felt deeply embarrassed.He had guessed correctly.She really had imagined that if Xia Li ever encountered so grave danger, she would gladly throw away her life to shield him,just to prove her usefulness and her value in his heart."Please spare that. Don't rush for quick results, and don't wallow in self-produced sentintality. The tribulations ant to be yours won't miss you. But I don't want them to be ones you go looking for yourself."After saying that, Xia Li contacted the Heaven Chip.【Does the database contain any ancient romance novels? The stupider the better, the more lodramatic the better, the more cringeworthy the plot the better!】【No.】The Heaven Chip would not normally store useless things in its database,unless Xia Li had personally downloaded them from the net.【Then make one up. Use the prose style popular five hundred years ago. The writing style from that era had so real punch.】Xia Li rembered that his younger sister had liked reading things like that.Out of boredom, he himself had once read one.It had been so embarrassing he felt as if he could dig out an entire luxury villa with his toes.Before long, the Heaven Chip generated an unmatched masterpiece of lodrama and utter brainrot.Xia Li skimd a few passages and, even lying inside the repair pod, cringed so hard flakes practically fell off his body.If I die before your eyes, will you love ?For you, I can abandon everything!!At last, you looked at ...Co back to life, my beloved!Seeing those words, Xia Li no longer felt refreshed even while healing."Here, Qiu Fu. Take this jade slip and contemplate it carefully."Through the repair pod's material-transfer compartnt, Xia Li sent the jade slip out."Is this so kind of technique?""An ancient secret scroll capable of bringing the heart realm to completion. Read and comprehend it properly. It can increase wisdom."
