Please, I Really Didn't Want To Fall in Love With My Master! Chapter 65

Five hundred miles outside Wu Yang City.

A remote house inside a small valley village…

Li Ran slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the thatched ceiling above him, he was stunned for a moment before he heaved a sigh of relief.

“I'm not dead!”

How terrifying was the power of the collapse of the secret realm?

He exerted all of his strength to activate the abnormal phenomenon, exhausting all of his qi.

He even used the Heaven Seizing Technique to absorb the impact.

Only then did he barely survive.

However, due to his overexertion, he had also fallen into a coma.

“I don't know how long I have been unconscious…”

Li Ran wanted to sit up, but his right hand was pressed down. For a moment, he couldn't raise it.

He turned his head to look, immediately stunned. Yue Jianli was sleeping soundly by the bed.

Her fair and delicate face was beautiful and dreamy under the sunlight. A faint red light fell down on her little face, giving her a truly adorable look.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a few strands of hair fell on her white cheeks.

Just a scene from a painting.

Li Ran gulped, “When this girl doesn't have a sword in her hands, she is actually quite pretty…”

He wanted to pull his hand away, but Yue Jianli subconsciously grumbled and hugged him even tighter.

Soft!

“What a fellow. You want to test a cadre with something like this?” He took a deep breath and used a bit more strength.

“En?” Yue Jianli opened her eyes in a daze.

Li Ran's body froze. He looked straight ahead as if he was an old monk.

“You're awake?” Yue Jianli's eyes flashed with joy as she suddenly realized that her arms were entangled with his.

She blushed and hastily stood up.

Li Ran also silently withdrew his arm.

The air was quiet, and the atmosphere was awkward.

Li Ran cleared his throat and asked, “Where are we?”

“This place is called Yun Xiao Village. I'm worried that if we were to enter Wu Yang City with your status, we might attract unnecessary problems, so I temporarily place you here,” Yue Jianli replied.

Li Ran nodded. “How long have I been unconscious for?”

“Today is the third day.”

“So long?” Li Ran rubbed his hair.

This secret realm was truly dangerous.

Although the immortal opportunities were alluring to many, it was often accompanied by enormous risks.

He had only managed to escape unscathed with all his treasures and divine abilities. If it were any other Golden Core Realm cultivator, their corpse would probably have turned cold.

However, his harvest this time was filled with alms pots*, so he did not risk it for nothing.

[TLN: I couldn't find any reference to this, but the meaning is probably a fruitful harvest]

Golden Lightning Curse.

Disillusioned Eye.

Burning Heaven Sacred Flame.

As well as a large number of immortal materials and spirit herbs in his storage ring.

The rewards of the system and the rewards of the secret realm made Li Ran's strength soar.

He was about to get out of bed, but suddenly, with a hiss, he frowned.

He felt as if all his meridians had been blocked. He could not feel any strength at all.

Yue Jianli took a pillow and placed it behind him. “You can't feel your meridians because you've over-exhausted your qi. You'll need time to sort it out. You can't be in a hurry.”

“Thank you,” Li Ran said.

Yue Jianli shook her head and said with seriousness, “I should thank you. Thank you for not leaving me behind. Otherwise, I would have turned into smithereens.”

She would never forget the shocking scene of the golden palm protecting her.

Li Ran was capable of escaping by himself, but he chose to spend a bit more effort to escape with her. Otherwise, his injuries might not have been so severe.

Li Ran shook his head. “It's just a simple matter. There's no need to thank you. Moreover, this matter… might happen because of me.”

“Because of you? Why?” Yue Jianli couldn't understand.

Li Ran said, “The existence of the Secret Realm is for the sake of finding someone destined. In the end, we obtained the inheritance. That is the inheritor of the Immortal Emperor. However, not only did the Secret Realm not send us away safely, it collapsed. Don't you find it strange?”

“En…” This was what Yue Jianli was confused about.

In the end, the formation seemed to be eager to bury the two of them.

This wasn't the sort of treatment an Immortal Emperor's inheritor should receive.

“You mean…”

Li Ran snorted coldly, “It's the world's laws!”

“When I ascended the Cloud Stairs, I disobeyed its authority, so the world's laws wanted me to die!”

The final collapse was obviously caused by those strands of the world's laws.

It couldn't stop Li Ran from obtaining the inheritance because this was the Immortal Emperor's arrangement. However, it could use the loopholes of the natural laws to make Li Ran die at the final moment.

Unfortunately, Li Ran was fine, but he disappeared along with the secret realm.

“I see!” Yue Jianli suddenly understood.

If that was the case, then it would make sense.

Li Ran sneered. “You bastard, you still want to die with me? Dream on!”

He spoke too forcefully, causing his injuries to be affected. He coughed violently for a moment.

Yue Jianli laughed, “All right, I know you're powerful. Rest well.”

She got up and left.

After a while, she walked over with a bowl of soup.

“This is the concoction I made with the Spirit Recovery Pill. You can drink it.”

“You made me soup?” Li Ran quivered.

He said cautiously, “You didn't poison the medicine, right?”
