Chapter 500: Grab It and Run

Silence.

The Vermilion Bird fell into a deep silence.

She looked at Shangguan Huanling and then glanced at Lu Ye, who was staring blankly at his right hand.

Confusion washed over Lu Ye’s face.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What was I just doing?

Slowly, Lu Ye started to regain his senses, feeling a bit relieved that he hadn’t forgotten his memories of Shangguan Huanling.

Otherwise…

Scary, it would be way too scary.

“Did she feel good?” Lu Ye suddenly asked, his voice tinged with urgency.

The Vermilion Bird had an expression that was hard to describe.

But seeing Shangguan Huanling’s current condition, as a woman, the Vermilion Bird definitely understood what it meant.

In her previous life, she didn’t know how many times she had seen such a state; sometimes when she was with Huanling, she would often appear in this state too.

Right now, the Vermilion Bird had no idea what to do.

They say Shangguan Huanling lacks intelligence, but how much smarter could the Vermilion Bird be?

In her last life, she was completely fooled by the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor.

“So, did I pass?” Lu Ye’s voice became more intense!

The Vermilion Bird finally let out a sigh.

“You passed!”

As soon as those two words were spoken, Lu Ye’s figure vanished in an instant.

In that moment, four beams of intense light descended from the sky, piercing into Lu Ye’s body.

The four-colored light converged, transforming into the most primitive and supreme power, the source power of Heaven and Earth.

Lu Ye frantically absorbed it, his strength soaring.

Xumi Realm Level Three, Xumi Realm Level Four…

However, Lu Ye wasn’t gaining the Four Spirits’ power just to increase his own strength but to accelerate the opening of his Small World.

So, he directly guided the Four Spirits’ power into his Small World.

At this moment, the world inside him didn’t undergo any obvious changes, but Lu Ye felt that some very subtle yet crucial transformations were quietly unfolding.

His Xumi Realm level stopped increasing.

All the Four Spirits’ power surged into the world that hadn’t opened yet.

With this power constantly pouring in, the changes in the world began to gradually expand.

A new force started to emerge.

From destruction, rebirth was nurtured.

At this moment, Lu Ye’s skin suddenly began to shed numerous flakes—yes, flakes.

You see, for Lu Ye at this stage, this was basically impossible because what are those flakes?

They are the impurities in Lu Ye’s body!

After cultivating to this point, how could there still be impurities in his body? Especially someone like Lu Ye, who had maxed out at every level.

Lu Ye had consumed quite a few Dan药, but those were all Premium Dan药; how could there be impurities?

Lu Ye observed closely and soon realized why these impurities appeared.

Right now, his inner world was being reborn, and part of this new force had merged with his body, causing it to undergo constant transformation.

Constant transformation!

Every moment.

Lu Ye was growing stronger.

He was definitely getting stronger; his physical body felt like it was transforming from a mortal body to a spiritual body, then a divine body, then a holy body…

This new force was like a world-altering force, reshaping Lu Ye’s body.

The blessing of the Four Spirits didn’t last long, but the Qing Long, White Tiger, and Xuanwu all looked puzzled, as Lu Ye’s enhancement seemed minimal.

Surely, the blessing of the Four Spirits didn’t just allow Lu Ye to gain such a little strength, right?

Could it be that Lu Ye stored some of that energy temporarily?

Forget it, the blessing is over, and so this matter is complete.

The presence of the Four Spirits vanished.

Lu Ye’s body continued to transform; he glanced at the now-dressed Vermilion Bird and Shangguan Huanling, especially when Huanling looked at him, and he felt a sudden chill.

Time to bail!

Lu Ye didn’t quite understand why Shangguan Huanling was treating the Primordial Morning Mist this way; clearly, others had suffered immensely from it.

True, the remaining Primordial Morning Mist Lu Ye had was quite limited, yet it should’ve made Shangguan Huanling suffer greatly…

Poor Lu Ye lacked understanding since he had never had a smartphone during his time in the Welfare Institute; he couldn’t comprehend a group of people out there who…

The more they suffer, the more excited they get, and the more loyal they become.

Lu Ye really didn’t expect such a thing.

Dealing with the unclear situation, particularly with Shangguan Huanling, Lu Ye felt he should prioritize getting away.

It’s not like he planned on killing Shangguan Huanling because he didn’t think she was provoking him.

In this situation, if it weren’t for Shangguan Huanling, would he even have gotten the Four Spirits’ blessing?

His goal had never changed; as long as there was no murderous intent from the other party, he would quietly observe whether they lived or perished.

Lu Ye ran.

The rebirth and transformation continued endlessly.

Lu Ye felt he needed to go into seclusion for a while.

Shangguan Huanling sat on the ground, her head still a bit fuzzy.

What just happened?

Because she worried she might cause some trouble, Shangguan Huanling had taken a special Dan药 in advance, which could enhance her charm.

Although it could get a bit overwhelming.

Shangguan Huanling didn’t mind because she aimed for that feeling; in fact, she was afraid she wouldn’t get that feeling.

However, the plan didn’t succeed.

She was fine, but Lu Ye was not!

The Vermilion Bird, fighting alongside her, still couldn’t make Lu Ye budge.

With concern, the Vermilion Bird looked at Huanling and comforted her, “Huanling, it’s okay; there will be another chance. Don’t be sad.”

“Vermilion Bird, I’m not sad! Even though I didn’t make Brother Lu feel good, he made me feel good. He was definitely paying attention to me quietly, knowing what would make me feel good without even thinking about it; he understands me to the fullest. Why should I be sad?” Shangguan Huanling said with a strange expression.

Vermilion Bird????

Sometimes, even in a normal state, the Vermilion Bird struggled to keep up with Shangguan Huanling’s train of thought, let alone when she’s in such a good mood.

“What about your Crossing Tribulation?”

Shangguan Huanling’s eyes were filled with determination.

“Brother Lu will definitely save me! As long as I cross the tribulation! He absolutely won’t just sit and watch me die!”

“I have to cultivate well and strive to reach the Void Realm as fast as possible. I’ll cross the tribulation outside the Heavenly Gate; Brother Lu won’t abandon me.”

The Vermilion Bird frowned.

She wasn’t worried about whether Lu Ye would care but rather…

“Why do you think your cultivation speed will surpass Lu Ye’s?”

Lu Ye was already at Xumi Realm, while Shangguan Huanling was only at Longevity Realm. Given Lu Ye’s cultivation speed, could Shangguan Huanling surpass him to cross the tribulation first?

“It’s fine; as long as Brother Lu sees my efforts, he will definitely wait for me!”
