637 His Lucky Star
Xue Fanxin knew that Ye Jiushang was going into seclusion. Although she was unwilling, it was inevitable, so she faced it bravely. “Ah Jiu, don’t worry. While you’re sleeping, I’ll be good and cultivate hard. When you wake up, you’ll see an even more powerful me.”
Ye Jiushang stroked Xue Fanxin’s head and said gently, “Alright, I’ll look forward to that.”
“Hehe, you will see it.”
“While I’m sleeping, Heilong, Hai Feng, Zimo, and the others will protect you. With them around, I’m at ease. I’ll sleep for at most three months. You can cultivate in the bamboo forest. If you stay there, even the Lord of the Nether City can’t do anything to you.”
Ye Jiushang got angry when he mentioned the Lord of the Nether City. Very few people in the Tongxuan Continent could injure him; the Lord of the Nether City was one of them.
He had to be wary of this person.
Fortunately, the Lord of the Nether City had been heavily injured last time and would not cause trouble in the short term. Perhaps he would not recover for a year or so.
The Lord of the Nether City’s injuries were as heavy as his injuries last time. If not for Xin’er saving his life, he would still be unconscious.
It could be deduced that the Lord of the Nether City was most likely still unconscious.
“Ah Jiu, did you take me to the Purple Cloud Tower to see those people today because you were preparing for your sleep?” Xue Fanxin guessed something else.
This must be the real reason Ah Jiu had thrown the Purple Cloud Tower at her.
“My beloved consort is indeed smart. I can’t hide anything from you.”
“Oh, stop it. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of the Purple Cloud Tower. I won’t let anyone cause trouble.” Xue Fanxin played with Ye Jiushang’s arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. She looked at the scenery in front of her quietly and decided in her heart. Even if she was not strong enough, she would work hard to protect this family.
Ye Jiushang could sense Xue Fanxin’s firm belief in protecting her home, making him happy.
The two of them said nothing. The times were good.
Xue Fanxin originally wanted to wait quietly with Ye Jiushang, but she thought of something and asked excitedly, “Ah Jiu, I remember you once told me that the Tree of Life, the Dragon Blood Soul Lotus, and the Nine Revolutions Purple Leaf Orchid are related to your cultivation technique. Do you need these for your advancement this time?”
“It’s naturally good to have them, but the Dragon Blood Soul Lotus and the Nine Revolutions Purple Leaf Orchid can only be used after they bloom. Even with the nourishment of the Breathing Earth and the Wood Spirit Heavenly Pearl, it will take at least a few years for them to bloom, so let’s save them for the future.”
“That long?” Xue Fanxin sent a wisp of her divine sense into her space to take a look. She realized that although the Dragon Blood Soul Lotus and the Nine Revolutions Purple Leaf Orchid were growing well, they were still far from blooming.
It seemed like she could not help Ah Jiu this time.
Ye Jiushang could tell what Xue Fanxin was thinking at a glance. He stroked her head again and comforted her. “Silly girl, what are you thinking about? Don’t always think that you can’t help me. Actually, you’ve already helped me a lot. In the battle with the Lord of the Nether City last time, if not for you, I’d still be unconscious!”
He had been seriously injured in that battle. Initially, he needed to fall into a deep sleep to heal himself, but because of Xin’er, he recovered swiftly. Perhaps it was because he had consumed the Bone and Flesh Regeneration Pill refined from the Tree of Life last time that he had a new breakthrough now.
Xin’er was really his lucky star!
