The Pearl of the Dragon Life was one of the best treasures in the world. It contained a powerful amount of energy that did not pale next to the legendary Water of Life.
As long as one still has one breath left, this pearl can revive them. From a certain point of view, this was the same as having an extra life.
Therefore, this pearl was extremely rare and was a treasure that everyone dreamed of.
Now, the moment the Pearl of the Dragon Life appeared, it emitted a golden light that engulfed the entire place.
This made everyone's breathing hasten. Other than heat in their eyes, there was more heat.
The Pearl of the Dragon Life!
It was the same as having an extra life. Even a Holy Leader would be tempted by it!
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he revealed a bright smile.
It wasn't just because of the Pearl of the Dragon Life, it was also because Princess Ling Xi admitted defeat.
Though it looked like she was fulfilling the terms of the bet, if Princess Ling Xi didn't want to admit defeat, then who could force her?
Remember that she was the youngest daughter of the King of Ping Nan. The King of Ping Nan was the God of War, second only to the Yan Emperor!
Therefore, the act of taking out the Pearl of the Dragon Life represented Princess Ling Xi's surrender. It was also an apology. Therefore, Ling Xian was very happy about this.
"Very well. Since you are fulfilling the terms of the bet, then I will not pursue this further."
Ling Xian softly grinned. Flapping around his sleeve, the Pearl of the Dragon Life landed in his hand.
This made Princess Ling Xi's eyelid twitch. She felt like her heart was dripping blood.
The Pearl of the Dragon Life was a rare treasure. If her father wasn't the King of Ping Nan, if the emperor didn't treat her well, why would he give her such a treasure?
Yet now, the Pearl of the Dragon Life belonged to Ling Xian. Why wouldn't her heart ache?
[Damned bastard. When my father returns to the palace, he will teach you a lesson.] Princess Lingxi silently cursed as she stared at Ling Xian.
"It seems like you are very unhappy with me."
Ling Xian softly grinned. Though he could not hear what this woman was thinking, the look on her face indicated that this was not over.
He was not afraid of this.
Though Princess Ling Xi was the youngest daughter of the King of Ping Nan, she was merely a hostage in the capital. Other than the three generals, nobody would stand up for her.
As for the South Pingwang, he believed that he was not an unreasonable person. Princess Lingxi was the one who was in the wrong, so he was just giving her a small punishment.
Therefore, Ling Xian didn't care. He studied the Pearl of Dragon in his hand and the more he looked at it, the happier he was.
With this bead, he would be able to get rid of this sickly state. However, he did not intend to absorb the life force of this bead now.
The battle between Yan Liusu and the crown prince was at a crucial moment. His sickly appearance helped him hide his strength and catch them off guard.
Therefore, he decided not to absorb it for now. After all, it won't affect his battling abilities.
"I'll put this pearl away first. Once the fight for the throne is over, I'll absorb the life essence inside."
Ling Xian grinned and placed the Pearl of Dragon Fate into his storage pouch, "Thank you for your gift."
"Hmmph, don't be too happy just yet. I will remember this." Princess Lingxi hissed, hating Ling Xian even more.
Ling Xian didn't care at all.
He could tell that Princess Lingxi wasn't a bad person. This was obvious from the way she reined in her horse. It was just that she was too arrogant.
This was why Ling Xian wanted to teach her an unforgettable lesson. His goal was to teach her a lesson.
"Princess Lingxi, let me give you a word of advice. Restrain yourself."
Ling Xian wiped off his smile, "If I didn't make a move in time today, a life would've been lost in your hands."
Hearing this, Princess Lingxi silenced. Her face appeared apologetic.
"If you feel apologetic, it means you can still be saved."
Noticing Princess Lingxi's apologetic look, Ling Xian grinned, "That's all I have to say. Saying more won't help. What kind of person you want to be is up to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving behind a dazed Princess Lingxi. She stared at his departing figure with a pensive look on her face.
...
After leaving the long street, Ling Xian had no destination. He wandered around the imperial city and sensed the vicissitudes of the city.
Before he knew it, he arrived at a very busy street.
As far as the eye could see, the street was filled with people. On both sides of the street, there were shops selling all sorts of treasures. Every single one of them was filled with people and was extremely busy.
Only one house was deserted, cold and cheerless.
This shop was extremely old. The sign was shaking as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind. It was extremely broken.
Although not all of the surrounding shops were magnificent, they were still antique and full of charm. This shop, however, was extremely broken. Even the sign was covered in dust, making it hard to read the name of the shop.
This stark contrast made Ling Xian laugh. At the same time, he felt a sense of familiarity.
He remembered back when he was at the City of Yuezhou, he saw a shop just like this. It was very different from the other luxurious shops around it.
That shop's name was called Nothing for Sale.
"Interesting. Could it be that Hong Yan Xin opened a shop here?"
Ling Xian shook his head and laughed at his own nonsense. Hong Yan Xin was from the Taoism community, why would she come to the Eternal Realm?
Though he didn't think his guess was reliable, he was intrigued by this shop.
At that moment, he strode forward.
Then, Ling Xian froze where he stood.
Because when he got closer, the name of the shop was revealed. It was Nothing for Sale.
The three pitch-black ancient characters engraved on the signboard gave off a sense of vicissitudes, but also a sense of familiarity.
"Could it really be Hong Yan Xin?"
Ling Xian frowned. He had a deep impression of this woman. It wasn't because she was beautiful, it was because she wanted to resurrect someone.
Back at the City of Dan, because of this woman's stubbornness, he helped her get the Flower of Three Lives on Opposite Shores and the Book of Summoning Souls. However, he didn't think Hong Yan Xin would succeed.
Resurrection was a heaven-defying thing!
"So many years have passed. I wonder if she got what she wanted?"
Ling Xian exclaimed. His eyes flickered with anticipation. Then, he marched forward and entered the broken shop.
The moment he entered, he choked on the dust and couldn't help but to cough.
"Who is it? This shop is not open for business. Go back to where you came from. "
A thunderous voice arose, making Ling Xian smile. Because he could tell that it was Xiao Cui's voice.
In other words, this shop really was Hong Yan Xin.
"I am not here to buy anything, I am here to see an old friend." Ling Xian grinned, he was somewhat happy.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land was a happy event.
"Old friend?"
A suspicious voice arose from inside the room. Then, Xiao Cui's tower-like silhouette appeared before Ling Xian.
"Yeah, don't you remember me?"
Looking at the sturdy silhouette, the corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he revealed a happy smile.
After seeing him, Xiao Cui froze. She rubbed her eyes a few times and asked uncertainly, "You … you are Ling Xian?"
"That's me." Ling Xian nodded with a smile.
After getting his confirmation, Xiao Cui became excited and screamed into the room, "Miss, come out! It's Ling Xian!"
