Please, I Really Didn't Want To Fall in Love With My Master! C331– The suspicion of Jianli, the good fortune of the deep sea!

Chapter 331: The suspicion of Jianli, the good fortune of the deep sea!

Li Ran frowned slightly.

Devouring Spirit Demon's body had already shattered. Its shattered head slowly sank down, and in the muddy sea water, a jade-like flame flickered with blue light.

He reached out to grab it and carefully examined it.

The jade stone was cylindrical, roughly as thick as an index finger. Its texture was extremely clear, and it was cold and warm when Li Ran picked it in his hand.

It seemed to be made from seawater.

Li Ran poured his spirit energy into it, but there was no reaction.

“What is this?”

Logically speaking, Deity Transformation demon beasts had long since lost their demon cores, but this thing was indeed inside their bodies.

Moreover, the demon core had pure spirit energy, but there was no such thing as a jade core.

“Could it be that his body isn't good to form such a jade core stone?”

Li Ran scratched his head and felt that this jade stone was not simple.

When he tried to sink his soul into the jade stone, it immediately shone brightly as if it had been activated.

A wave of information rushed into his mind.

A moment later, Li Ran's eyes understood.

“So it was a key. It should have been swallowed by the Spirit Devouring Demon… It can be considered an unexpected harvest.”

At this moment, Yue Jianli arrived beside him. “Junior sister Li, are you alright?”

Scene of the boiling sea just now made her feel dizzy.

Li Ran shook his head and said, “I'm fine.”

Yue Jianli hesitated, “Just now, I saw that Spirit Devouring Demon use his soul to attack you. You… Are you sure you're fine?”

“Soul attack?”

Li Ran pretended to be dumb and said, “Oh, are you talking about those rays? The sword intentionally destroyed it before it hit me.”

“Destroyed?”

Yue Jianli had a puzzled expression.

Even if Li Tiezhu possessed Emperor-level Sword Qi that could easily kill Deity Transformation Demons, she still wouldn't be able to block a soul attack, right?

A mortal's soul couldn't even withstand a single blow from a soul fused with the dao!

However, Li Tiezhu was unharmed.

Even the sword god's body could not be so exaggerated.

Yue Jianli was lost in thoughts that Li Tiezhu had a great secret!

She had already made a vague guess about her style of doing things, her personal habits, and her attitude toward her.

Although she felt that it was close, there were still some areas that didn't make sense, and she couldn't understand.

So, she temporarily restrained herself.

Faced with Yue Jianli's scrutiny, Li Ran felt a bit guilty. He knew that he was on the verge of being exposed.

He raised the jade in his hand and changed the topic. “I never thought that after slaughtering a demon, he would actually drop spoils of war.”

“Hmm?”

Yue Jianli took it. “What is this?”

Li Ran shrugged. “I don't know. It fell from that octopus.”

“What octopus? That's called the Spirit Devouring Demon…”

Yue Jianli fiddled with the jade. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that it was not simple.

She tried to inject Sword Qi and spirit energy into it one after another, but none of them reacted. In the end, she sank her mind into it and was stunned.

When Li Ran saw her blank expression, corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

After a while, Yue Jianli came back to her senses with a pleasantly surprised expression.

“Junior sister Li, this is a good fortune!”

“What good fortune?”

“This is a key and map. It points to a small secret realm.” Yue Jianli explained. “If I'm not mistaken, there should be a treasure inside!”

“Secret Realm? A supreme treasure?” Li Ran nodded. “That sounds pretty good.”

Yue Jianli praised, “Looks like your luck is pretty good.”

Li Ran shook his head. “It's all thanks to Chief Yue. She's able to see through everything. Otherwise, I would've thrown this stone away long ago.”

“Is that so?” Yue Jianli stared at him with a smile in her eyes.

“Ahem, of course.” Li Ran suddenly felt as if he had remained silent. He would be exposed. He cleared his throat and said, “Are we going back to the sect, or are we going to search for treasures?”

Yue Jianli didn't hesitate to say, “The fortuitous encounter is fleeting. Of course, We'll go search for treasures first.”

No cultivator would miss such an opportunity.

She patted Li Ran on the shoulder and said, “In order to thank junior sister Li for her help, I will definitely help you obtain this opportunity.”

“Chief Yue is truly loyal.” The corner of Li Ran's mouth twitched.

It wasn't certain who the two of us would help.

Yue Jianli's mind sank into the jade stone. After identifying the direction, two of them swam deep into the ocean.

Direction of the jade stone was pointing towards the bottom of the ocean a thousand meters below.

As the two of them went deeper and deeper, the darkness around them became denser and denser, almost to the point where they could not even see their fingers.

Even the light from the Sword Qi could only illuminate a few meters away as if it had been devoured by the darkness.

The surrounding creatures also became different, becoming more and more ugly and ferocious. That ferocious appearance was simply hard to describe with words.

There was even a big fish with two big mouths that had completely degenerated. It slowly passed from their backs.

Although it did not take the initiative to attack, it still made people feel a chill on their backs.

“This deep sea creature is too ugly!”

On the other hand, Li Ran was observing these creatures with great interest. He pinched his chin and said, “It's probably because the bottom of the sea is too dark. Since no one can see these creatures before, these creatures are too scary and might as well just grow ugly.”

Pu!

This explanation made her laugh.

Thinking about it carefully, it made sense.

In this dark sea, looks were the most useless thing.

When the two of them reached a depth of about a thousand meters, Yue Jianli's eyebrows furrowed.

The enormous pressure of the sea water was likely to instantly crush a foundation establishment expert into a thin piece of paper.

Even though Yue Jianli was a Nascent Soul cultivator, she still felt uncomfortable.

Li Ran sensed this and reached out to grab Yue Jianli's soft Sword Qi, enveloping her.

The pressure instantly dissipated without any discomfort.

“Thank you, junior sister Li,” Yue Jianli said with a smile. “Your Sword Qi is really good. It's much stronger than this senior apprentice-sister.”

Li Ran rubbed his nose. “Master taught me well…”

“Oh!”

Yue Jianli narrowed her eyes and didn't pursue the matter further.

At the bottom of the East Sea, the darkness was cold. Other than the creatures that emitted light, there was eternal darkness everywhere.

The bottom of the sea rose and fell. There were valleys, plains, mountains, and hills. It was not different from the earth.

Meanwhile, three figures gathered in front of a hill, sparkling and dark light illuminating the darkness.

One of them had a pale face and an indifferent expression. It was Bai Jiangye.

The man in black next to him could not see his face clearly. He stood respectfully behind him, emitting a cold aura!

As for the last one, he kept a distance from them, his eyes alert.

He was the head of the Supreme Dao Palace, Feng Wanjiang.

Bai Jiangye frowned slightly. “Is Chief Feng here alone?”

Feng Wanjiang shook his head. “No, there was originally a guardian of my sect.”
