658: Rescue Ling Ruoli
“Can this Qi still have such a miraculous effect?” Chen Xuan murmured to himself.
Then he snapped his fingers, and the Purple Spirit Goddess's figure slowly emerged.
He looked at the Purple Spirit Goddess, whose face was rosy, and her eyes were full of love when she looked at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan gently embraced her, and softly said, “Zi'er, you’ve worked hard.”
The Purple Spirit Goddess leaned in his arms and whispered, “As long as I can help my husband, Zi'er will be satisfied.”
Chen Xuan tightly embraced the Purple Spirit Goddess and Chen Zier, but his mind was pondering the reason behind his “becoming whole.”
“Oh, by the way, master, what’s with the tower that inexplicably appeared outside the house recently?” Chen Zier suddenly asked.
“A tower? If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten; there’s still a big fish inside that I haven’t eaten yet!”
As Chen Xuan spoke, he led the two girls back to the front of the villa.
Looking at the Mystic Jade Tower that towered into the clouds, Chen Xuan instructed Zi'er, “This is a trial tower. After you go back, you can inform your sisters to come and try it when they have time.”
“But for now, I still have things to attend to. You and your Zi Ling sister can go back and play first.”
“Oh, I understand.” Chen Zier nodded obediently.
Zi Ling also glanced at Chen Xuan before leading Chen Zier back into the villa.
After seeing the two girls leave, Chen Xuan slowly stepped into the tower.
“Hey, you little artifact spirit girl, I’ve come to save you!”
“I’m not ‘hey,’ my name is Ling Ruoli!” The innocent beautiful woman’s figure slowly emerged, and she glared at Chen Xuan, her face full of displeasure.
Chen Xuan said nothing more, a slight smile playing on his lips, revealing a confident expression. His surrounding Qi instantly surged, like a purple torrent, wildly rushing towards the interior of the Mystic Jade Tower.
Wherever the Qi reached, the tower body trembled slightly, emitting buzzing sounds.
Seeing this, Ling Ruoli’s eyes flashed with a hint of nervousness.
“You… what are you doing?? Stop it~” Her voice trembled slightly.
Chen Xuan did not respond, only concentrating on controlling the Qi.
The Qi, like a nimble snake, quickly drilled into every crack of the Mystic Jade Tower, intertwining and colliding with the spiritual power within the tower.
“Stop quickly! I don’t need you to save me!” The beautiful woman looked strange.
But as the Qi continued to be injected, the light of the Mystic Jade Tower became increasingly intense, and the surrounding space began to twist and deform.
Suddenly, a sharp cry came from within the tower, and Ling Ruoli’s body was uncontrollably pulled by a powerful force, slowly drifting out of the tower.
She tightly closed her eyes, her face full of pain, as if she was enduring immense torment.
“Hold on, it’ll be over soon!” Chen Xuan roared, increasing the output of Qi.
“I’m in so much pain!”
“You’ll have to bear it!”
Finally, with Chen Xuan’s unremitting efforts, Ling Ruoli’s figure was successfully extracted from the Mystic Jade Tower.
Her entire soul body collapsed to the ground, her face still showing the terror of having escaped a disaster.
But very quickly, she realized Chen Xuan’s intention.
“You… you pulled me out of here? I’m no longer an artifact spirit?”
“That’s right.”
Chen Xuan quickly stepped forward, helped Ling Ruoli up, and took out a jianmu fruit emitting a mysterious light from his embrace, handing it to her.
“This is a jianmu fruit. Eating it will allow you to regain a physical body and also enhance your Aptitude.”
Ling Ruoli looked at the jianmu fruit, which shimmered with a strange glow, her eyes filled with shock.
“This… this is too precious. Why would you give it to me… be so good to me?” She looked up, her gaze fixed on Chen Xuan.
“We met by chance, so it’s fated. Besides, you’ve been trapped in this Mystic Jade Tower for a long time. Now that I’ve helped you escape, this jianmu fruit can be considered compensation for you.”
“Compensation?”
Ling Ruoli hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the jianmu fruit.
She gently bit into it, and instantly, a cool, sweet juice flowed down her throat, and a powerful force rapidly spread within her soul body.
Ling Ruoli felt this power like countless nimble threads, weaving and reshaping as they moved through her soul body. She tightly closed her eyes, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, her face alternating between pain and relief.
As the power of the jianmu fruit was continuously absorbed, a faint halo gradually appeared around her soul body. Within the halo, the outlines of flesh and bones began to subtly emerge.
First, slender limbs, like newborn tender branches, solidified little by little; then the torso, its lines gradually becoming smooth and powerful.
Finally, the delicate face, with eyebrows, eyes, mouth, and nose becoming clear one by one.
Chen Xuan stood aside, fully focused on staring at Bai… ahem, guarding her.
Before long, the halo suddenly brightened, completely enveloping Ling Ruoli. When the light gradually dissipated, a living, breathing beautiful woman appeared in her place.
Her skin was like snow, so delicate it seemed it could break with a touch, and her long, lustrous black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.
She slowly opened her eyes, a trace of confusion flashing in them, which was immediately replaced by surprise.
“I… I really have a body!” Ling Ruoli excitedly looked at her hands, feeling the surging power within her body.
“Chen Xuan, thank you. This kindness, I, Ling Ruoli, will never forget.”
“Oh, it’s nothing, just a small effort! And… my kindness, it’s inexhaustible!” As Chen Xuan spoke, he took a few steps and arrived beside the beautiful woman.
“Inexhaustible? Why is it inexhaustible?”
“Ahem, I misspoke just now. You’ve already repaid it.”
“Repaid it? When did I…”
“Because… the Mystic Jade Tower is mine now!” Chen Xuan said with a mischievous smile.
Upon hearing Chen Xuan’s words, Ling Ruoli’s face first showed surprise, then rage instantly surged into her heart, her face turning crimson:
“The Mystic Jade Tower belongs to my Family, a Legacy of tens of thousands of years! How can you just take it? No, not this one. You can ask for anything else, but the Mystic Jade Tower… I absolutely cannot give it away casually!”
“Anything else is fine?”
“Oh, don’t be so angry. Look, now only you are left in the Ling Family. You’re all alone here, guarding this Mystic Jade Tower is so hard. Why not give it to me? I promise to treat it well.”
“You!!”
“I said I would repay your kindness, but this Mystic Jade Tower is an exception!”
“No, no, I just want this tower! Or you will do too!” Chen Xuan smiled indifferently.
But in Ling Ruoli’s eyes, this expression was utterly despicable.
She was both shy and angry, gritting her silver teeth. Unable to restrain herself, she quickly formed hand seals, her spiritual power surging around her, and attacked Chen Xuan:
“You scoundrel, today I’ll make you realize how formidable I am!”
However, Chen Xuan was prepared. His figure flickered, easily dodging her attack, then he lunged forward, and with a backhand, subdued Ling Ruoli, rendering her unable to move.
Ling Ruoli was anxious and annoyed, struggling desperately: “Let go of me!”
Chen Xuan chuckled, leaning close to the beautiful woman’s ear and saying, “Don’t struggle. I have a good idea, would you like to hear it?”
“What good idea?”
“How about… you bear me a child, and when the child grows up, let him inherit the Mystic Jade Tower? That way, it stays within your Ling Family, and someone can properly look after this treasure. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
