It took half an hour before the room finally quieted down.
The two of them stared at each other, each of them panting.
“Have you played enough?” Li Ran asked.
Yue Jianli shook her head. “I’ll take a break and continue the fight later.”
“……”
Li Ran explained, “I didn’t mean anything else. I just want you to have a good rest. If you were to overexert your qi again, your foundation would be damaged.”
If she were to forcefully activate qi while her dantian was empty, she would only draw qi from her Golden Core.
This aligned with the original saying of “depleting one’s vitality”.
Under normal circumstances, it would take a while to recuperate. However, if Yue Jianli was to go all out like this, her foundation might be damaged.
This wasn’t just a minor problem; her future prospects could be affected.
After all, not everyone was like Li Ran, who had Heaven Seizing Technique to protect his core.
Yue Jianli blushed. “Then, you can’t hit me.”
Her entire body was still numb as if there was a little ant crawling near her.
Li Ran scratched his head awkwardly. “I really didn’t mean it. Besides, didn’t you also bite me several times?”
When Yue Jianli saw the clear tooth marks on his arm, she was so embarrassed that she couldn’t wait to find a hole to hide in.
She was also pushed into a hurry. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done such a thing.
“How does it feel?” She asked softly.
“Ah?” Li Ran gulped, “It feels good. Round and bouncy, indeed very good…”
“I meant the bite wound!”
“???”
The atmosphere immediately turned awkward.
Yue Jianli pulled over the blanket to cover her head. She was so shy that she didn’t dare to show her face.
Ahem…
Li Ran said, “Then you can rest. I’ll leave first.”
“Wait, wait…”
Yue Jianli reached out of the blanket and grabbed the corner of his shirt. “There were so many people watching just now, don’t go out yet… it’s embarrassing.”
“Oh, okay.”
Li Ran sat back by the bed.
“I can’t sleep in broad daylight, why don’t you talk to me?” Yue Jianli said in a muffled voice.
Li Ran smiled and said, “How can I talk to you when you’re hiding under the blanket?”
Yue Jianli was silent for a moment.
Then, she poked her head out of the blanket like a mouse.
However, her eyes fluttered and she did not dare to look at Li Ran.
Li Ran suddenly remembered something and asked, “What happened after you went to Flying Cloud Peak? Did the Supreme Dao Palace make things difficult for you?”
Her purpose in flying to Flying Cloud Peak was due to Song Qingsong’s death.
It was said that Venerable Hao Yue was very protective and difficult to deal with. He wasn’t a good person.
Yue Jianli told him about his experience in the Supreme Dao Palace.
When Li Ran heard that Honorable Hao Yue was about to investigate her memories and force her to draw her sword against Chen Yundao, his eyes turned cold.
“Hao Yue? Very well, I’ll remember you,” He thought to himself.
He was just a Venerable One.
With Li Ran’s talent, it was only a matter of time before he crushed him.
He looked at Yue Jianli and shook his head. “You’re too rash. You dare to draw your sword against Chen Daoyun… a truly ruthless person.”
The reason the Righteous path was so strong was because of Sect Master Chen.
Even though he cultivated the righteous path, he was extremely decisive. His hands were stained with blood.
He had used his own strength to suppress the Three Great Devil’s Doctrine and suppressed the entire Devil’s Doctrine to the point of gasping for breath.
Only after Leng Wuyan and Youluo Temple showed up did he gradually stop showing his face.
Yue Jianli said helplessly, “I know, but with the situation at that time, as long as I show any hesitation or weakness, something big will happen.”
Li Ran was silent.
Faced with the threat and questioning of an Emperor-level expert, one could imagine the pressure.
“Thank you. You have worked hard.” He rubbed Yue Jianli’s head.
Yue Jianli snorted and said, “I’m also responsible for Song Qingsong’s death. It’s not for you…”
However, he did not move his hand.
“Then why did you rush to Wuyang City in an urgent manner?” Li Ran felt something was a little strange.
What emergency made her fly for two days and two nights in a row? She almost hurt her foundation.
Yue Jianli blushed. “I won’t tell you.”
“Forget it, let’s not talk about it.”
Li Ran took out a pill and handed it to her. “This is a Primordial Pill that can strengthen one’s body. Eat it and rest well.”
Yue Jianli didn’t resist. She swallowed the pill and withdrew into the blanket.
Before long, her breathing became even and she had already fallen into a deep sleep.
She was indeed too tired.
Li Ran tucked her under the blanket and got up to walk out of the room.
Just as he opened the door, he saw Li Daoyuan walking away.
“Dad, what are you doing?” Li Ran smiled.
“I’m fine. I’m just taking a walk.”
Li Daoyuan pulled him to the side and said in frustration, “Ran’er, you are the Sheng Zi of the Youluo Temple. It is strictly forbidden to fall in love! It’s fine if you don’t annul the engagement with the Xiao family, but why did you bring another one back? What if you are expelled from the sect?”
Li Ran patted him on the shoulder. “Calm down. This girl is just a friend of mine.”
Li Daoyuan snorted. “You think I’m stupid? A friend can be carried back like that by you?”
Li Ran said, “This is a misunderstanding.”
“Don’t worry about the misunderstanding. Let her go back quickly. Don’t let your master know… By the way, which lady is she?”
“The Yue Family.”
“The Yue family?” Li Daoyuan carefully thought about it, “Our Wuyang City doesn’t have a family with the surname Yue?”
“She’s not a local. She’s from the Myriad Sword Pavilion.”
“Myriad Sword Pavilion?!” Li Daoyuan was startled. Then, he suddenly thought of something and said in shock, “Is she Yue Jianli?!”
Li Ran nodded. “Congratulations, you’re correct.”
Li Daoyuan grabbed his ear and said in exasperation, “You’re too bold, even targeting Yue Jianli? You’re a genuine demon! Do you have any conscience in your heart?”
“Who’s a demon? Do you mean your son?”
“You’re not my son. I don’t know you anymore.”
“Is that necessary…”
“You have Leng Wuyan covering you. You’re not afraid! What if the people from the Myriad Sword Pavilion came to kill me?”
“Isn’t that enough for a meal?”
“I f**king…”
The two of them walked away arguing.
—
The next morning…
Li Ran brought his breakfast and opened the door. “Breakfast is here.”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was stunned. He saw that the sheets were neatly folded.
However, she had already disappeared.
“Really, leaving without a greeting.”
Li Ran shook his head and smiled. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he found a note on the bed.
He picked it up and saw that there was only a line of words on it.
Li Ran was speechless.
