Chapter 749 - 700: Effects of the Energy Pearl
"Hmm, killed." Xu Yi grinned, curious about the woman’s reaction.
After all, Xu Yi was currently very weak and might not be able to handle the lady in palace attire.
However, although he couldn’t deal with her, he still had Spirit God and the others in his Pet Space.
If she attacked or harbored any ill intentions, Xu Yi could quickly let them out of the Pet Space and awaken them.
This, in a way, was also a test.
If the other party didn’t have any ulterior motives, Xu Yi planned to offer some benefits.
"Congratulations, sir." The lady in palace attire said with a hint of a smile, seemingly happy for Xu Yi.
"I’ll recuperate for a bit, then leave here." Xu Yi said, then sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
The lady in palace attire nodded, saying nothing, silently sitting cross-legged beside him.
To her, Xu Yi had been benevolent to her and her companions.
No matter what Xu Yi did, she wouldn’t turn on him. Her actions were guided by her own principles and boundaries.
For Xu Yi, this was an adventure.
The place near the exit was connected to the outside, teeming with Spiritual Energy.
In just 7 hours, Xu Yi had fully regained his strength.
"Alright, we can leave now." Xu Yi opened his eyes and spoke to the other party.
"Okay." The lady nodded in agreement.
"My name is Xu Yi; I don’t know how to address you?" Xu Yi felt the other party had initially passed his test, making her worthy of befriending.
"Xu Yi, sir, my name is Jiao Rushui." Jiao Rushui replied happily, perceiving this as a positive sign.
Xu Yi nodded then passed through the exit, flew into the abyss, and began to ascend.
The departure wasn’t particularly dangerous, so the two smoothly emerged.
Once outside, Xu Yi and Jiao Rushui retraced their path back.
After all, Xu Yi still needed to see Lu Yao and Qin Fan and return to Titan Academy.
On the way back, the two barely exchanged words.
"Sir, I must return now. Please take this Communicator; once you arrive on Star-devouring Continent, you can contact me at any time. If you need anything, I will do my utmost to assist." Jiao Rushui handed Xu Yi something resembling a mobile phone, eager to build a relationship with someone as powerful as Xu Yi.
Encounters with high-level Divine Masters like Xu Yi, who were friendly, were a first for Jiao Rushui.
If she didn’t seize the opportunity, Jiao Rushui felt she would be letting destiny’s chance slip away.
"Sure, I will visit this place frequently. If you need assistance, feel free to tell me; I will try to help you." Xu Yi assured Jiao Rushui.
Jiao Rushui’s eyes lit up at Xu Yi’s words.
With Xu Yi’s promise, she knew she could rely on him in the future.
Yet, she understood that opportunities only come once. After using it, it would be tough to ask Xu Yi for help again.
Constantly asking for favors won’t foster a lasting relationship.
Nonetheless, both her strength and her backing were too weak to offer any help to Xu Yi.
Therefore, Jiao Rushui felt the safest way was to seize one chance and use it to its fullest potential.
"Sir Xu Yi, I must take my leave now." Saying this, Jiao Rushui cupped her hands in farewell, then turned and left.
Xu Yi watched Jiao Rushui’s departing figure, then headed towards where Qin Fan and the others were.
After several hours of flight, Xu Yi appeared at the place where Qin Fan and the others were cultivating.
There were no battle scars; the Fierce Beast Xu Yi had tamed was still on guard.
Hence, Xu Yi released Xiao Qi from his Pet Space.
After emerging, Xiao Qi glanced around.
She was still quite worried.
She surveyed the surroundings, then sighed in relief.
She didn’t sense any Divine Race aura, nor any aura above level 30 of Divine Masters.
"Go find a place to recuperate; next, you can choose to stay on Star-devouring Continent or come with me to Titan Academy." Xu Yi suggested to Xiao Qi, not intending to keep her confined in his Pet Space indefinitely.
"Master, can I really stay here on Star-devouring Continent to regain my strength?" Xiao Qi asked excitedly.
"Of course, I won’t restrict you too much." Xu Yi smiled slightly, truly lacking controlling desire and hence wouldn’t limit Xiao Qi’s freedom.
"Thank you, Master." Xiao Qi said joyfully, disliking being cooped up in Xu Yi’s Pet Space where she couldn’t cultivate.
Without cultivation, her strength couldn’t improve.
And without improvement, how could she achieve revenge?
Thus, the primary focus must be on cultivation; only through training can she grasp the chance for revenge.
Now, her sole goal for living is revenge.
Though painful, she needs a reason to continue surviving!
"Master, here is an Energy Pearl from my tribe; it’s useless to me, but it could be beneficial for you." Saying this, Xiao Qi handed Xu Yi a Space Ring.
Then she bowed to Xu Yi and flew off.
The Spiritual Energy here wasn’t rich enough for her to fully recover.
Hence, she must seek a more Spiritual Energy-rich place to recover her strength, then gradually approach the level 40 Fierce Beast Territory.
