The passages within the underground ruins were intricate and complex, resembling broken meridians. Yusuf Zuck simply didn’t care where he would end up running nor was he concerned about potential dangers, as they could not surpass the immense peril posed by the four Earth Immortals.
Also, Yusuf found that within these subterranean passages, his Telekinesis was hindered. Even his thoughts could only extend a mere two to three meters.
Beneath the land of Saint Dragon, all Divine Sense is isolated. This is the mystery of the Saint Dragon Continent, so even after you enter the underground, you still cannot use Divine Sense to detect anything.
Yusuf had been running for about half an hour, clueless about his current whereabouts. Clearly, the four Earth Immortals hadn’t caught up, and even if they entered the underground now, it would be nearly impossible to find him given the maze-like corridors.
"Nobody move." Yusuf set down **** Cheng and Lily Case, then, as Lily grimaced in pain, he stuck his finger into her mouth.
Lily was puzzled; she didn’t understand what Yusuf was doing.
However, in a flash, she felt a cool sensation rolling down her throat and into her stomach, followed by a more intense, excruciating pain. Her blood began to boil, an enormous vitality spreading through her limbs and entire body. She felt an odd combination of itchiness and pain, causing her to moan softly in agony.
"Hang in there, it will be over soon. This will help regenerate your limbs and improve your physique." Yusuf steadied her shoulders, and without explaining further, he quickly stuffed his finger into **** Cheng’s mouth. Now his purple droplet could be used continuously.
**** Cheng had regained consciousness and was somewhat dazed. Seeing Yusuf stick his finger into his mouth, he gave a weak smile.
Yusuf sat down abruptly on the ground, panting heavily. Just moments before, he thought he was as good as dead. But to his surprise, Lily broke through the Divine realm to save him.
However, Lily’s Cultivation Level had drastically decreased to below what it was before they had cultivated together. Moreover, her expression seemed much older; she had looked in her twenties before, but within merely half an hour, she appeared weary and worn.
Not like an old woman, nor a matron of fading beauty, but that delicate and alluring charm was gone.
This was the harm caused by burning her life span. With her lifespan reducing, she likely didn’t have much time left.
About three minutes later, both Lily and **** Cheng got up. Lily, with disbelief on her face, stared at her newly regenerated arm. At that moment, she also showed a hint of vitality—it seemed the purple droplet not only regenerated her body but also revitalized her spirit!
"It’s magical, but do I look particularly ugly now? Have I aged?" Lily nervously asked Yusuf.
"You haven’t aged, you look even more beautiful than before!" **** Cheng suddenly spoke slyly.
Lily’s face turned red, but then she said despondently, "I left the Drunken Beauty at Bai Cao Tang. I don’t want you to see me !"
"Drunken Beauty, you say? Here!" Yusuf suddenly smiled, producing another Drunken Beauty as if by magic.
"What? You still have one? My God!" Lily was astounded. One Drunken Beauty was already enough to stir the Mainland, but now Yusuf had another?
"Don’t look at me, wait for me!" She snatched the Drunken Beauty and hurried deeper into the passage, staying about ten meters away from Yusuf and facing away from him.
"What’s Drunken Beauty, brother-in-law?" **** Cheng, completely recovered and feeling refreshed, asked.
"After taking it, one can return to their sweet sixteen, never age, and their body will always emit a wonderful fragrance—those are its three effects!"
"Ah? The Flower of Eternal Youth?" Yusuf Zuck gaped, stunned to find such a thing in this bizarre world.
A humming sound came from Lily Case, standing a dozen meters away. Her body trembled, a red halo radiated from her head, and a strange fragrance wafted towards him, smelling like a shattered perfume bottle. The scent was not overpowering; it was light and even conveyed a sense of warmth.
"Rob... Large Bean, do you have any clothes..." A soft voice called out; it was Lily Case’s.
"I do, turn around!" Yusuf Zuck glared at Zuck and said.
"Yes, yes, I will go elsewhere for a stroll. You two chat, you chat!" Zuck wouldn’t dare peek and immediately stood up and ran away.
Yusuf Zuck walked to Lily Case’s side and, by the dim light, saw her face and was instantly mesmerized.
Lily Case was still Lily Case, but her face seemed thinner and more youthful. Her features were the same, yet they now held an added tautness and grace, exuding a youthful vigor. She looked just as she did at sixteen, with the adorable appearance of a young girl!
"Quick, give me the clothes..." Her face flushed, unable to look at Yusuf Zuck, for after consuming that beauty-enhancing substance, her body felt sticky and dirty!
"Haha!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily and handed her the clothes.
"Don’t look," she said as she took the clothes, biting her lip bashfully.
"Alright, alright, I won’t look." Yusuf Zuck turned away, while Lily Case swiftly removed her old clothes.
"Whew—" As she stripped, Yusuf Zuck turned back around, then stood frozen again. Not only had her face returned to its sixteen-year-old state, but her body had also become more refined. In that moment, she was entirely like a young girl, like a blossoming lotus, incomparably beautiful, her skin so delicate it seemed it could be broken by a blow, yet tinged pink beneath.
This was truly a heavenly beauty, a natural beauty! Googlᴇ search novel~fire~net
The term "natural beauty" described her body at that moment!
"Don’t..." Seeing Yusuf Zuck turn around, she threw her old clothes at his head, then swiftly put on the robe and punched him lightly on the chest with her small fists!
"Whew—" Yusuf Zuck caught her by the waist and kissed her deeply.
The two had been through life and death together, in moments where they could readily die for each other. Although they could not yet speak of a tumultuous romance, and still didn’t fully understand each other, their union in those perilous moments harbored the desire to let the other survive.
Thus, it was also love, one that even transcended love itself!
"Cough, cough, cough, dude, can you guys postpone the lovey-dovey stuff? Something’s not right here, I found something strange, come have a look!" Zuck came running over, shouting.
Yusuf Zuck and Lily Case instantly separated, both feeling somewhat embarrassed and blushing. Yusuf Zuck was slightly better off; he had long been thick-skinned, while Lily Case was terrified and dared not even lift her head!
"Let’s go and have a look. Is this from the ancient dynasty? What is this ancient dynasty stuff? Do you know?" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously.
Lily Case nodded and whispered, "Hmm, I know a bit. I’ve been here a few times. I heard that the ancient dynasty hid a great secret, and the Holy Dragon Emperor ancestor destroyed the records precisely to cover up that secret from the ancient dynasty!"
