225: The ultimate bodyguard! Recognition from a true immortal!
Outside the main bedroom hall of Divine Son Peak.
Spring Flower paced back and forth in a panic, her hands wringing the corners of her clothes tightly, like an ant on a hot griddle.
Her delicate face was filled with anxiety and heartache, and even the peach blossom hairpin on her head was trembling slightly.
From inside the hall, the suppressed, agonized groans of her Your Highness—sometimes high-pitched, sometimes hoarse—drifted out one after another.
Every sound was like a red-hot steel needle, stabbing ruthlessly into her heart.
"Sister Qiu Yue! We can't wait any longer!"
"That Demoness has no humanity; she is torturing Your Highness! If we don't go in now, Your Highness... Your Highness is going to be broken!"
Spring Flower's beautiful eyes flared with anger, and she was about to burst through the door the next second.
"Stop."
Qiu Yue, who had been standing silently nearby, slowly opened her eyes.
Her voice was cold, yet it carried an unquestionable authority.
Qiu Yue reached out and nonchalantly pressed down on Spring Flower's shoulder, her movement as gentle as brushing away a fallen leaf.
The True Immortal power that Spring Flower was about to unleash instantly vanished without a trace, like a clay ox entering the sea.
"But Your Highness..." Spring Flower was on the verge of tears, her voice thick with a sob.
"Sense it carefully."
Qiu Yue interrupted her, looking deeply at the tightly closed hall door. "Your Highness's aura, though fluctuating violently, has not weakened."
"On the contrary, his Foundation is being forcibly solidified and refined by a domineering power that far exceeds the limits of this realm."
Spring Flower was startled and quickly closed her eyes to concentrate.
She indeed noticed something unusual.
Amidst Your Highness's painful groans, there was actually a faint, mysterious Dao sound of a cultivation Bottleneck being broken and Heavenly Dao Laws being crushed and reshaped!
"This..."
Qiu Yue withdrew her hand. Her tone returned to calm, but her gaze became even deeper.
"Although the Divine Sons Consort's methods are crude, even barbaric, she is unreservedly using her own Origin to refine Your Highness's Dao Foundation."
"Such an Opportunity is a rare find even in this small Xuanyuan Continent."
She paused, a flash of complexity that she hadn't even noticed flickering in her cold eyes.
"Your Highness... has his own considerations. We only need to wait quietly."
...After an unknown amount of time.
The sound that had tortured Spring Flower for several hours, but made the two inside the hall feel as if they had gone through a Reincarnation, finally ceased.
*Creak—*
The hall door was pushed open by an invisible force.
Ye Linghan walked out looking refreshed, her exotic and exquisite face carrying a post-satisfaction languor. The charm in the corners of her eyes was almost overflowing, and even the tattered Imperial Robe she wore was glowing.
Su Chen was being dragged behind her by his back collar like a little chick.
At this moment, he looked like a piece of dried salted vegetable that had been squeezed of all moisture and dried in the sun for three days.
His clothes were disheveled, his hair was a mess, and his face was as pale as paper.
He stared blankly at the ceiling, his legs shaking uncontrollably as if a gust of wind could blow him into dust.
Ye Linghan didn't care at all about his despondent appearance. Her gaze swept over Spring Flower and Qiu Yue with complexity before she firmly announced:
"This Madam is taking my Little Husband out to see a good show; the two of you don't need to follow."
Hearing this, a sudden spark of survival lit up in Su Chen's dilated pupils!
He had come back to life!
He used the last bit of strength in his body to desperately signal Spring Flower and Qiu Yue. His eyes were about to cramp, and his mouth was silently opening and closing with all his might.
[Save me! Quickly save me!]
[Your Highness is about to be kidnapped by a human trafficker! Quickly go to the Ancestral Hall and call people to suppress her! Hurry!]
However, Spring Flower and Qiu Yue just stood there quietly and bowed respectfully to Ye Linghan.
"Farewell, Your Highness. Farewell, Divine Sons Consort."
That heartfelt "Divine Sons Consort" was like a bolt of Nine Heavens divine thunder striking precisely on Su Chen's crown.
The light in his eyes completely went out.
It was over.
Even the last straw had freaking betrayed him.
Just as Su Chen's heart turned to ash and he prepared to accept his tragic fate of being taken away and further ravaged by this Crazy Woman.
At the moment Qiu Yue bowed, she flicked her finger.
A trace of spiritual light, nearly invisible and almost merging with space, silently entered Su Chen's back and vanished instantly.
Su Chen's body jolted!
A strange power, warm and peaceful yet as vast as the sea, instantly merged into his limbs and bones.
The soreness and fatigue that had reached his marrow were swept away.
His waist, which had felt as if it were broken, miraculously grew back and was filled with strength!
[Eh? This is... I... I'm good to go again?!]
Ye Linghan didn't seem to notice this subtle movement. She gave a cold laugh and lightly swiped her jade-like hand in front of her.
*Rip—*
The space ahead was like a fragile scroll, easily torn open by her into a pitch-black rift.
Inside the rift was chaotic and violent spatial turbulence.
"Let's go, Little Husband."
Holding Su Chen, she stepped into it, and their figures vanished instantly.
The spatial rift slowly healed, and Divine Son Peak returned to silence.
Only then did Spring Flower straighten up and ask worriedly, "Sister Qiu Yue, what you gave Your Highness just now was..."
"A True Immortal Amulet."
Qiu Yue looked into the Void Realm with an indifferent expression. "It was condensed from my Origin power. It can block any form of fatal attack below the level of a Heavenly Immortal. At a critical moment, it is enough to ensure Your Highness's safety."
Spring Flower finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then she was a bit puzzled. "But the Divine Sons Consort is, after all, a Devil Head of the Great Emperor Realm. What if she..."
"It's fine."
Qiu Yue shook her head, her cold eyes flashing with the wisdom of seeing through everything.
"Her possessiveness over Your Highness has already deeply entered her demonic soul, reaching a point of morbid obsession."
"In this world, there is no one who will protect Your Highness more wholeheartedly than she will."
"She is now at the Third Heaven of the Great Emperor Realm. Looking across the Xuanyuan Continent, she is already invincible."
"With such a strongest bodyguard of the Xuanyuan Continent by his side, Your Highness's trip will be very safe."
