Ye Zichen pondered about the aning behind Xiao Yui’s ssage by the window.
Not friends but foes.
It was not the first ti Su Yiyun had said sothing like that. Before inheriting all of the Yellow Emperor’s mories, Ye Zichen would have definitely just viewed him as a foe.
But now that he thought about it...
It was as if Su Yiyun had deliberately pushed himself to the opposing side and tried to make Ye Zichen hate him.
He had countless ways to kill before, but he never once did.
I still don’t understand the reason behind the way he did things and the choices he made, but sohow, I always lived through them all.
“Alright, got it,” Ye Zichen nodded, then caressed Xiao Yui’s cheek with a smile. “Get so rest, I’ll stop disturbing you.”
Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Yui grabbed his hand and hugged him from behind.
“How about... not leaving?”
...
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Tiantian, who had been asking to see her mommy, finally saw Xiao Yui.
Now, she no longer stuck close to Ye Zichen and instead followed Xiao Yui all around.
This ant that Ye Zichen was able to relax a bit more and focus on dealing with other problems.
Such as...
“I’m telling you, we made a promise. These candies are just the down paynt, you said you will give more after the ley line recovers,” Lorie pouted and protected her pile of pills like a hen protecting its chick.
Lorie was truly amazing in how much she was able to intake. Even though it was rely normal pills to recovery spiritual energy, even an Immortal King would have imploded if they ate as much as she did.
In a re two days, only a small pile was left of the small hill of pills.
Ye Zichen was able to afford any amount of pills as long as the ley line was able to recover. Since that’s what he promised Lorie, he naturally would not go back on his word.
However, that was only if the ley line recovers.
“Of course I will keep my promise. But... I don’t think you made any progress?”
The ley line was still shriveled up and unmoving on the ground like it was in the Heavenly Court.
Ye Zichen had a sneaky suspicion that Lorie had spent the past few days eating and didn’t bother with helping the ley line at all.
“Did you transfer any spiritual energy to it these few days?”
“No.”
Ye Zichen was speechless. Lorie openly denied doing anything without any hesitation.
...
“You...”
Lorie giggled, “Don’t be so anxious. I’ll just help it cover now. But let remind you again, you need to give lots and lots of pills, okay?”
“Just hurry up,” Ye Zichen didn’t really know what to say.
“Fine,” Lorie walked forward and carefully pocketed the leftover pills. She bit her lips and patted the ley line’s head with a reluctant look. “I’m going to give you all the spiritual energy I stored up, so don’t disappoint , okay?”
With that, the aura around Lorie changed.
A soothing fragrance filled up the valley. Lorie’s hair turned from black to white and a crescent moon-shaped image appeared in her eyes.
She put her hands on the ley line as light shone from her eyes.
She called out softly, causing an even more intense fragrance to fill the valley.
Ye Zichen stood dumbstruck behind her...
Suddenly...
He broke through.
He broke through the complete stage of the Sky Immortal level without even doing anything, and was now half a step into the Immortal King level.
“Hey, don’t steal my spiritual energy!” shouted Lorie.
“I didn’t,” Ye Zichen replied innocently. He didn’t mutter any incantations. He couldn’t do anything against the spiritual energy that surged into him by itself. “What do you want to do?”
“Never mind,” Lorie waved, while a crescent moon shaped mark surfaced on her forehead.
A powerful spiral of spiritual energy appeared above her.
The spiral continuously engulfed the spiritual energy in the Three Realms. All of a sudden, everyone could feel the spiritual energy in the air gathering towards it.
“Hey, just how much energy are you going to suck from ? Fine, I’ll let you have enough!” Lorie glared at the ley line while the spiritual energy around her beca denser and denser. If one was to grasp out at it, they would be able to touch physical droplets of condensed spiritual energy.
And just like that, two hours passed by.
The loss of spiritual energy in the Three Realms started to cause a panic. Many of the more powerful people began to follow the direction the spiritual energy was gathering in.
At the sa ti, the ley line also seed to rejuvenate.
Soon...
It opened its eyes.
A howl echoed through the valley. The marks on the ley line’s body shimred as it started to release purified spiritual energy into its surroundings.
“Gotcha,” Ye Zichen smiled in excitent, only to notice Lorie wobble weakly.
“Lorie!” He ran over and caught her. Lorie’s face was stark white and the crescent moon on her forehead also dimd down.
“You...” Lorie muttered. “You owe lots.... and lots... and lots of candy! Keep your promise!”
Ye Zichen started to understand what Lorie had done...
She used the spiritual energy within her to awaken the ley line.
And in order to do so...
It was pretty clear that it required an astronomical amount of spiritual energy.
He smiled wryly at the thought of her still asking for candy in such a state.
What a gluttonous loli!
“Of course. You’ll get as much candy as you want in the future.”
Lorie smiled happily at his response and reached out her pinky. “You promised, so pinky swear on it. But I’m so tired... I’m going to take a nap. Make sure to give lots of candy when I wake up...”
Lorie’s hand fell back down and her eyes shut tiredly as her voice trailed off.
Ye Zichen initially thought it was just because she had overextended herself a little.
But then he noticed that Lorie started to shrink.
And shrink...
Until she turned into a six-leaved lotus.
Panic overwheld Ye Zichen. He thought Lorie rely wanted to rest because she was tired.
But...
“Lorie!”
