Please, I Really Didn't Want To Fall in Love With My Master! C214– You Want My Spirit Pearl?

Qin Ruyan looked at Li Ran with an inexplicable light in her eyes.

“Thank you, Sheng Zi Li, for saving me. Otherwise, I might really die here!”

Li Ran shook his head and said, “You don't need to thank me. Instead, you should thank Daoist Yi.”

“Daoist Yi?” Qin Ruyan has a puzzled expression.

Li Ran smiled and did not explain.

If Yi Qinglan hadn't thrown him here, he wouldn't have had the chance to save Qin Ruyan.

It could only be said that everything was fate.

Although Qin Ruyan was somewhat puzzled, she still said seriously, “No matter what, it was you who saved me. I will remember this kindness in my heart.”

“It doesn't matter, you helped me back then,” Li Ran said casually. “I told you, we are friends.”

“Friends?” Qin Ruyan moved closer to his ear. She looked at him flirtatiously and exhaled like an orchid. “Friends are divided into many different kinds. Which kind are we?”

Dong!

Li Ran tapped her head and said unhappily, “Speak properly. You're not like Cheng Yuzhu.”

Qin Ruyan rubbed her forehead and said with some dissatisfaction, “How do you know I'm not?”

Li Ran rolled his eyes at her. “Isn't that right?”

Even though her vital yin had yet to disperse, she still pretended to be very skilled.

Qin Ruyan understood what he meant. Her face was slightly red as she turned her head away with a “humph”.

However, she didn't know how to refute it.

At this moment, a whistling sound came from not far away.

Li Ran frowned. “Someone's here. Are you friends or enemies?”

Qin Ruyan suddenly thought of something and cried out, “Not good, it must be their people. They're attracted by the commotion here!”

Cheng Yuzhu had once said that this dense forest had been surrounded by them.

There were definitely many cultivators around.

The whistling sound was rapidly approaching.

Li Ran carefully examined them. “There are a total of fifteen people. The strongest is the late-Nascent Soul Realm.”

These two Xie brothers should be the leaders of the team.

The cultivation bases of the others weren't high.

Li Ran had consumed the Soul Restoration Pill and had already recovered a portion of his soulforce.

Even though it wasn't enough to utilize one's soul, it wouldn't be a problem to simply use spirit energy and Dao Arts.

A faint light flashed in Li Ran's hand as Gu Xie appeared in his palm.

“Wait here. I'll go kill them.”

“Be careful…” Before Qin Ruyan could finish her sentence, his figure had already soared into the air.

In a short moment, shouts resounded in the dense forest, accompanied by waves of miserable cries.

“There's an enemy!”

“It's not Qin Ruyan. It should be her accomplice!”

“Formation, formation!”

“Be careful behind you!”

“Ah!”

After the time for an incense stick to burn, the miserable cries stopped, and the dense forest calmed.

Li Ran slowly walked out from the forest.

The devil sword in his hand was shrouded in black mist, and the bloody light on the blade became even denser. Clearly, he was already thirsty for blood.

One person and one sword released a strong killing intent, making one's hair stand on end.

However, Qin Ruyan didn't care at all. She quickly went up to greet him and said with a smile, “Your Excellency, thank you for your hard work. I don't know how to repay such a great kindness.”

“Since you want to repay me so much, then give me a few of your spirit pearls.” Li Ran smiled.

“Spirit Pearl?”

Qin Ruyan was stunned for a moment. “How did you know about the Spirit Pearl?”

Li Ran replied, “Just now, Cheng Yuzhu said that you have a spirit pearl in your body. It sounds like a good thing.”

Her face was slightly red. “Of course it's good stuff…”

Li Ran curiously asked, “What exactly is that?”

Qin Ruyan explained, “My physique is quite special. I was born with a Simple Female Glass Body. As one's cultivation increases, the bead will grow within one's body. It's also called the spirit pearl.”

Like Aqin, she had the highest dual cultivation constitution.

The Maiden Spirit Body could continuously produce its essence.

On the other hand, Female Glass Body would produce precious pearls that contained pure yin energy, and it was similarly beneficial to cultivation.

Both of them had their own strengths.

In comparison, the Simple Female Glass Body was more suitable for battle, while the Maiden Spirit Body was more attractive.

With such a physique, it was inevitable that people would covet it.

Thus, Qin Ruyan had been carefully protecting herself.

Coupled with the fact that Liu Xunhuan had managed to protect him, he had been safe for so many years.

Li Ran didn't know much about these things. He frowned and said, “So they chased after you for the pearl in your body?”

Qin Ruyan shook her head. “No, I'm only at the Golden Core Realm right now. The Yin Qi in the Spirit Bead is limited. It's not enough for them to take such a huge risk. They're doing this for the sake of my position as Holy Maiden. The Spirit Pearl is just a side item.”

Li Ran said in confusion, “Liu Xunhuan is an Emperor, and there are people in the sect that dare to covet your position?”

Qin Ruyan said with a bitter smile, “Last time at Mystic Spirit Mountain, I told you that the matters of the Joyous Unity Sect were very complicated. It can not be explained in a few words.”

“Alright.” Li Ran nodded.

There was a reason why the devils were devils. The main theme was to scheme against each other and insert a blade behind their back.

Compared to the other three Devil sects, the Youluo Temple was simply different.

Qin Ruyan glanced at him and whispered, “You really want my Spirit Pearl?”

Her pretty face was slightly red and her eyes were sparkling. She was actually a bit shy.

Li Ran thought for a moment. “What harm is there to you?”

Qin Ruyan shook her head and said. “There's no harm. I can't absorb the energy in it. I can only nurture it.”

“Oh.” Li Ran stretched out his hand. “Then give me a few.”

Qin Ruyan's face flushed red as she stammered, “This isn't something I can give just because I want to. I need to… In any case, we couldn't stay here!”

“Ah?” Li Ran scratched his head, not paying much attention. “Alright, we'll talk about it later.”

Qin Ruyan was silenced. “……”

She lowered her head with a red face, her head almost hanging down her chest.

“Then are you going back to the sect now?”

Qin Ruyan shook her head and forced herself to endure the shyness. “The situation has already developed to such a state. Ancestor Huan Xi and I will not rest until we die! Now that the Grandmaster had yet to come out of seclusion, it was very likely that he would be silenced if he returned.”

Li Ran nodded. “That's true. Why don't you follow me back to Youluo Temple to avoid it?”

“The Youluo Temple is too far away from here. It's very likely that we will be killed halfway. The risk is too high.” Qin Ruyan pondered for a moment before saying,

“There's a Kui Feng City nearby. It's a large city. It's said that the City Lord has the strength to take on the Heavenly Tribulation. Why don't we go and hide there first?” she asked.

Li Ran nodded. “Alright, let's go together. It's a good time for me to take a rest and reorganize myself.”

He had been thrown out by Yi Qing Lan. His entire body was covered in dust, and his soul energy had yet to recover, so he really should recover a little before he went on his way.

Qin Ruyan's eyes were full of smiles as she pouted. “Tch, if you want to protect me, just say so.”

Li Ran was confused. “Ah?”

Her eyes sparkled as she said in a low voice with a red face, “Don't worry, the Spirit Pearl… This servant will definitely give it to you.”

After she finished speaking, she flew away in embarrassment.

Li Ran looked at her back and felt that something was wrong.
