Why Do All These Monsters Have Health Bars? Chapter 622 - 621: The Time Comes, the Candle Dragon Awakens

When Li Jing cooked, he did it with ease.

You wouldn’t believe it.

He actually missed the Earth’s characteristic gas stoves.

In no ti, he whipped up a pot of mixed-stew noodles.

As Ye Piaoran watched the entire process, she was shocked when he effortlessly prepared a big pot of delicious-looking mixed-stew noodles in just minutes.

"I never knew you could cook so well."

"In my hotown anything but a rich man who can’t cook could survive?"

Li Jing curled his lips.

Ye Piaoran was dumbfounded, then gave him a big thumbs up.

"Well done."

"But you, even though you co from a poor background, why can’t you cook?"

Li Jing said, reaching out for a long table and setting it down.

At the sight of this, Ye Piaoran happily seated herself and snorted.

"You should be able to tell from my ’equipnt’ that I tried to learn how to cook to enrich myself, but I simply don’t have the talent."

"You an the way you can blow up the whole house in minutes upon entering the kitchen, that is talent related?"

Li Jing rcilessly retorted, serving her a bowl of mixed-stew noodles.

Faced with such personal attack, Ye Piaoran was of course not happy.

But with the delicious-looking mixed-stew noodles in front of her, she reluctantly kept silent, took hold of a pair of chopsticks, pushed her hair back from her forehead, bent down, and took a small bite.

As the mixed-stew noodles entered her mouth, she raised her eyes in surprise and gave another thumbs up.At that mont.

Shang Yiqing ca over.

"Piaoran, so you and the Nine Fairy are from the sa place?"

Hearing his voice, Ye Piaoran clicked her tongue, looking impatient, she did not respond.

This Shang Yiqing, really the type to linger around.

She just got rid of him a while ago, and here he was again.

Li Jing, however, gave a charming smile.

"Surprised, aren’t you?"

It took Shang Yiqing a while to find an opportunity to strike up a conversation.

By observing Li Jing’s fluent use of various objects that Ye Piaoran herself didn’t know how to handle, as well as their conversation, he made a judgnt.

Li Jing and Ye Piaoran, who had never t before, had ascended from the sa place.

With this judgnt.

Shang Yiqing understood why Ye Piaoran suddenly got along well with the Fox Demon she initially disliked.

However, at this mont, Ye Piaoran was acting as if she did not want to entertain him, which made Shang Yiqing embarrassed.

Since Li Jing initiated the conversation, Shang Yiqing went along with a smile.

"Indeed, it’s unexpected that you and Piaoran have such a serendipitous connection. It’s not easy to et ascendants from the sa land in the vast, boundless Immortal Realm."

"Young Master Shang, your words seem to carry so presuppositions."

Li Jing spoke, and while serving himself a bowl of mixed-stew noodles, he sat down and said.

"I assu, Young Master Shang, you haven’t strolled in Four Realm of Immortals. Besides this land of Zhong Shen Zhou which is a big dye vat, each of The Four Realm of Immortals have assigned specific areas with corresponding ascending platforms. Ascension platforms targeting a single world are rare, and it is not certain that the ascendants in the sa area are from the sa world. However, coincidence is hardly the word when it cos to encountering fellow ascendants in the corresponding area."

Hearing his words, Shang Yiqing nodded and complinted,

"You make a valid point, Nine Fairy. I truly have never traveled in the Four Realm of Immortals and do not know the current layout."

Saying this, he conveniently sat down with a smile.

"However, what you ntioned doesn’t seem to explain your connection with Piaoran, after all, you and Piaoran t in the middle..."

Before Shang Yiqing could finish his sentence, Li Jing interrupted him with chopsticks in hand.

"Young Master Shang, haven’t your sages taught you not to disturb others when they are eating?"

"..."

Shang Yiqing.

This round...

Kind of disgusted him.

Li Jing was quite right in his argunt.

But he should be able to tell, right? That he wanted to be around Ye Piaoran?

If not.

Why, under Ye Piaoran’s indifference, did he take the initiative to chat to give himself a chance?

Facing Li Jing, who was now in the form of a bewitching fox with a playful grin, Shang Yiqing moved his lips, gave a cold snort, stood up and walked away.

A scholar.

He too had a temper.

Seeing Shang Yiqing becoming displeased by Li Jing’s comnts, and leaving in a huff, Ye Piaoran looked up with bright starry eyes, then lowered her voice and turned back to him.

"Are you always this irritating with the things you say and do?"

"Tsk! What kind of talk is that?"

Li Jing smacked his lips, retorting,

"Just now, when I pitched in, it was to ease your discomfort of ignoring him, I didn’t say he was allowed to take advantage of it, how did that make irritating?"

Upon hearing his words, Ye Piaoran slightly frowned.

What Li Jing said, wasn’t without reason.

But upon reflection.

It seed more like he was intentionally trying to annoy Shang Yiqing rather than giving him a way out.

Looking at his innocent face, Ye Piaoran couldn’t help but remain speechless.

As an Earthling.

How could she not understand that the more open-hearted one is, the more likely they are hiding sothing?

A gentleman is open-hearted.

That refers to ancient people from the scholar class who were sowhat rotten to the core and stuck to rigid principles.

Modern tis.

Can you find a gentleman to observe?

Rolling her beautiful eyes over Li Jing’s comnts and not bothering to indulge him further, Ye Piaoran decided to focus on her food.

Although their interaction was brief.

But from soone’s various attempts to hurt her and kill her heart, it could be seen that this disgusting person was skilled at it.

At least he did not disgust her this ti.

Ye Piaoran felt it was better to stay quiet.

While she was eating, Li Jing looked to the east and quietly sent a voice ssage.

"Now that you, the person destined by fate, have arrived, when will this Candle Dragon wake up?"

"I’m not sure about this either."

Ye Piaoran responded through transmission, saying,

"It may need to wait for a certain ti, or it may need to et other conditions. The only certainty is that when the Candle Dragon awakens, I, the person with a destined fate with it, will have a sense of it."

Li Jing nodded upon hearing this, thought about it, and then transmitted again.

"Rember to remind when you sense it, I will seal you in my independent world at that ti."

Having heard this, Ye Piaoran frowned.

"All this is my destined fate, simply leaving is not an option, and sealing may not work."

"We always need to try everything. How do you know it’s impossible without trying?"

Li Jing chuckled, then transmitted again.

"The simplest way to solve your problem is to prevent you from coming into contact with the Candle Dragon."

Ye Piaoran nodded in agreent, and then restlessly shifted her body.

"I’m eating right now, can we not talk about these annoying things?"

Li Jing felt dumbfounded.

He was considering.

Ye Piaoran said that she wanted to eat, not just for the sake of food, but to get rid of Shang Yiqing and facilitate a conversation between them.

How could she now...

When he was speechless, Ye Piaoran transmitted a ssage.

"There is sothing you might need to pay attention to, I am indeed the chosen one, but I am not the only one who can maintain the overall situation. There are at least a thousand players in this fissure space, and maybe even more. So many players involved must have special significance."

Li Jing nodded, and responded by transmission.

"Rest assured, I’m well aware of this. Apart from you, there are certainly other ’alternative’ factors that can maintain the overall situation, but you are the only important factor visible on the surface. If you weren’t the Saintess of Yaochi, I would have even suspected that you are only a representation in the grand sche of things, purely a diversion for potential disruptors."

With that, Li Jing transmitted again.

"But with so many players involved, this matter is indeed intriguing. In the usual plans, more people can serve to confuse the vision and audition. The ticulous design of the top forces in the Upper Three Realms, Yaochi and Buddhism, many years ago, and the arrangents of the great abilities in Buddhism who are proficient in the secret arts of cause and effect, absolutely doesn’t require this kind of excessive creation, and it is unlikely that the players other than you are all ’alternative elents’ to maintain the grand sche of things. I can’t make any sense of why all this is happening."

Hearing such a lengthy monologue, Ye Piaoran shrugged nonchalantly.

"If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it. Those people in the Upper Three Realms are not only highly cultivated, but they also have deep minds. The topmost ones have lived for ages beyond our imagination. The calculations in their hearts are beyond our understanding."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing thought it made sense.

Those involved in the layout...

They were all top-notch figures that had been ruling in the Upper Three Realms since the ti of the Ancient Fairyland.

How can he, a man who’s been alive for less than thirty years, interpret their existence?

Nodding, Li Jing fell silent.

Ye Piaoran also didn’t seem to want to discuss more, she buried her head and ate as much as she could while eating.

Even though the food in front of her was nothing more than miscellaneous noodles.

Not to ntion the food of the spirit, it’s not even a delicacy.

In her case, eating it won’t satisfy her imdiate craving.

Right now...

She was living hand to mouth.

Despite her apparent appearance of lying flat.

But the possibility of losing herself at any ti was always a cloud hanging over her.

Li Jing sowhat understood Ye Piaoran’s state of mind at the mont.

This girl...

She is very strong-willed.

In front of others, she would not easily show so emotions.

To satisfy Ye Piaoran, Li Jing stealthily stuffed a few Spirit Fruits into her and a handful of so left over "seafood" from Little Universe’s previous cooking.

Ye Piaoran had only ascended to the Immortal Realm a year ago and didn’t have many opportunities to eat well.

Upon receiving Li Jing’s food offering, her eyes lit up.

After all, these things were top-notch delicacies to anyone other than Li Jing himself.

...

Having eaten her fill...

Ye Piaoran, like a boss, pulled out a bamboo reclining chair and laid flat on the spot.

Seeing this, Li Jing couldn’t help but laugh and cry. After getting her agreent, he collected all her pre-prepared items into his own storage space without any remorse.

These "treasures" from Earth were truly rare to him.

Things like gas stoves...

Didn’t exist on the Blue Star.

On the Blue Star, they burned Spiritual Qi.

Pure natural, pollution-free.

The advantage definitely lies with the Blue Star.

But it also lacks the ’down-to-earth’ aspect that Li Jing, as an ordinary person, was used to.

By keeping these...

It would still be fine to take them out and reminiscing occasionally.

...

In the following ti, Ye Piaoran was always in a state of pretending to sleep.

At least it appeared that way on the surface.

Li Jing did not disturb her.

He even chased away Shang Yiqing who intended to co over and sniff around several tis with a cold glance.

Before he knew it...

The ti had co for the second day.

Li Jing, who was guarding Ye Piaoran, suddenly had a notion.

Zhenshi Monunt.

A surge of obscure power was triggered.

This power tried to dissolve the suppression of the Zhenshi monunt, but in front of this treasure of the primordial era, it couldn’t even cause a scratch.

Is it soone from the Upper Three Realms again?

Li Jing looked up to the sky.

They have started to make their move.

This.

Does it indicate that the ti for the Candle Dragon to awaken is approaching?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, the gloomy sky gradually began to shine.

?

Li Jing furrowed his brows.

From the side, Ye Piaoran also opened her beautiful eyes, her expression gradually becoming serious.

The others present also followed suit and looked up.

In the rift space, due to the influence of the dormant Candle Dragon, it should be eternal night.

There is no such thing as dawn.

According to mythology.

The Candle Dragon brings darkness when it closes its eyes and light when it opens them.

Then suddenly, it was daylight.

This...

Indicates that the Candle Dragon has awakened!

Under everyone’s gaze, the dark sky of the rift space gradually brightened, and a sun slowly rose.

At the sa ti.

From afar, a high pitched roar of a dragon was heard.

Following that.

Ca an episode of earth-shaking tremors.

Is it really here!?

Li Jing stood up and turned to look at Ye Piaoran.

At this mont, she was also looking at him.

Their eyes t, and Ye Piaoran lightly bit her lip, extended her hand to pull him to her side, and whispered.

"Try to seal ."

Li Jing nodded.

Just as he was about to make a move, Ye Piaoran’s slightly nervous expression suddenly changed, becoming incredibly cold and indifferent.

Seeing this, Li Jing’s brows furrowed.

The next second.

With a clang of a sword.

Ye Piaoran drew her Taoist flying sword without hesitation and slashed towards his chest.

Faced with the sudden attack, Li Jing tightened his grip on her hand that she had taken earlier and raised his other hand, bending his fingers and flicked it.

"Ding!"

With a clear sound, the Taoist flying sword that was slashing towards him was sent flying.

Seeing this, Ye Piaoran was montarily stunned.

Obviously.

She didn’t expect Li Jing to be soone who could withstand a Taoist weapon with just his physical body.

While she was in a daze, Li Jing softly called out.

"Ye Piaoran?"

Ye Piaoran looked up at the sound of her na and smiled.

"It’s ."

"I didn’t call you."

Li Jing said quietly.

Ye Piaoran shrugged, the Taoist flying sword in her hand turned and released an endless mighty force.

Seeing this, Li Jing rolled his eyes, violently pulled the hand he was holding, and hugged her around her waist with his other hand, unceremoniously throwing her headfirst into the ground with a back throw.

"..."

The others present.

Since the mont Ye Piaoran drew her sword, they had all focused their attention on them.

It made no sense to them why Ye Piaoran suddenly attacked Li Jing.

Especially for the scholar Shang Yiqing.

Just a day before, the two were as close as glue, inseparably close.

How did Ye Piaoran suddenly turn against him?

What was the situation between the two of them?

Before anyone had ti to react, Ye Piaoran was about to make another move, and then she was given a header into the ground.

In an instant, to tell the truth, everyone was thoroughly stunned.

The dignified Saintess of Yaochi, was head-plunged into the ground...

This was more than just a scandal!

He...

How dare he?

How could he bring himself to do that to a woman whose beauty was out of this world?

The scholar Shang Yiqing present was the first to react.

Seeing Ye Piaoran plunged into the ground and no longer moving as if she had fainted, he imdiately yelled out.

"Monster! Don’t harm my Piaoran!"

"Boom!"

A great sound, as the formidable righteous Qi burst forth from Shang Yiqing’s body.

This person.

He was really infatuated.

But he also genuinely admired Ye Piaoran.

The eruption of such magnitude of Haoran righteousness was but a drizzle to him at his peak, but to him, in a greatly depleted state after lurking in the Immortal Realm for countless years, it was the tipping point.

And as such.

As Shang Yiqing erupted with Haoran righteousness, his hair was visibly turning grey at a rate discernable to the naked eye.

Li Jing, taken aback by the sight.

"You should clearly know that the one you once knew is long gone."

Confronted with these words, the scholar about to take action hesitated, then spoke without a word.

"I do understand that. As a young man, I have no other desire but to live without regrets."

Speaking, he sprang up into the sky with a roar.

"Haoran Universe, righteousness persists!"

With a "boom", a massive explosion.

The heavens and earth shook.

A law manifestation far more majestic and Confucian than the leading figure of the Immortal Realm’s Confucianism, Sun Qu, stood tall between heaven and earth.

At the sa ti, everyone else also began to unleash their own power.

Although they didn’t understand what was going on, at this juncture, Ye Piaoran, the man destined to be hurt in the ga, was at odds with everyone present.

Indeed.

For everyone but the scholar and the other three, the man of destiny was not much related to them.

But without the man of destiny.

The ga might not go on.

At that ti, their clandestine survival until now would lose all its significance.

Seeing the uprising montum of the scholar and others seeming willing to fight to the death, Li Jing squinted slightly, took a step forward, and appeared a mont later in the distant east.

???

All the people present, including the scholar.

Is Li Jing...

Planning to escape?

If she wanted to escape, she shouldn’t go east!

Just as everyone was stunned.

A dragon’s roar echoed throughout heaven and earth, tearing the ground apart, and a giant creature, black all over, several tens of thousands of ters long, broke through the ground and soared into the sky.

Candle Dragon!?

Everyone was both joyous and alard.

The joyous part was.

The Candle Dragon truly had awakened.

The alarming part was.

The Candle Dragon’s majesty was so terrifying!

At that mont.

Li Jing, standing in the sky, erupted in both blood Qi and Demon Qi.

Just then.

The entire vast sky.

Contained only two colors, red and black.

The daylight which had just started to shine in the rift in space, disappeared.

Such an explosion.

Once again startled everyone.

This fox demon...

Is she even human?

Oh.

She was never human to begin with.

So, the question is.

As a Great Demon, how can her spirits be so terrifying to this extent?

In the crowd.

The barbarian woman was montarily stunned by the eruption of Li Jing’s spirit in the sky, her big eyes wide open.

"It’s him!"

???

The monk and the Taoist next to her turned their heads.

Seeing their confused faces, the barbarian woman spoke rapidly.

"The one who beat you two!"

!!!

The two of them.

Then the Taoist spoke.

"Just because there are Demon Qi and Blood Qi within him, doesn’t an it’s him, does it?"

Before his words could finish, the monk nodded in agreent.

"The demonic cultivator can also walk both paths."

"You MUA, I told you but you didn’t believe !"

The barbarian woman roared in rage, shot a glance at Li Jing in the sky, then spoke again.

"I bet ten thousand kilograms of Thirteen Realm Barbarian Beast at, next he’s gonna face the Candle Dragon head on."

Just as she finished speaking.

Li Jing moved.

Her charming fox demon figure, like a ghost, tore the space in a flash and appeared above the Candle Dragon, lashing out with a slap.

"Boom!"

That tender and slender hand, utterly disproportionate to the Candle Dragon’s massive form, slapped the entire space into collapse, and swatted the Candle Dragon away with a roar.

"..."

The Monk and the Taoist.

"Damn it! It’s really that demon!"

They both exclaid in unison.
