In the You Prison, Han Lin's people picked out a few corpse puppets while Ying Qing brought Ye Futian's body out.
At this moment, Ye Futian's eyes were tightly closed. His body was dark and surrounded by the aura of death as if he was already on the verge of death.
"Ying Qing, this corpse puppet hasn't been completely refined, and the vice chief hasn't gained control of it yet. Why are you bringing it along?" Someone asked Ying Qing. They had picked up Ye Futian on the road last time, so they naturally knew about him.
"You guys should be able to tell what the vice chief is thinking," Ying Qing said.
"Of course. Goddess Xia is extraordinary and a good match for the vice chief. Perhaps she will be the future mistress," someone said with a smile, but they would only say this in private.
"Today, the vice chief specially brought the corpse puppet to visit the goddess. I'm sure he wants the goddess to learn the art of refining puppets. It's precisely because the corpse puppet hasn't been completely refined that you might be able to use it. Otherwise, it's the same corpse puppet. What's the difference?"
The others thought about it and then nodded slightly. Ying Qing's words made sense. In that case, they would bring it along.
Ye Futian was in a state of suspended animation at the moment. He had sealed off all the aura in his body, and only the will of death lingered around him.
The group of people took them away, and before long, they arrived at Xia Qingyuan's palace.
Because a few of the puppets belonged to other people, the owners of the corpse puppets were also here. The puppets stood in front of Xia Qingyuan. Only Ye Futian wasn't controlled yet.
The moment Xia Qingyuan saw Ye Futian, she felt as if her heart was pounding violently. The people of Senluo Manor didn't know who Ye Futian was, but she knew what kind of figure Ye Futian was in the Original Realm. The number one figure in the Original Realm was treated like this.
Xia Qingyuan felt a little pain in her heart. He must be feeling terrible.
Even so, he tried his best to restrain himself.
"Isn't he not finished refining it?" Han Lin also saw Ye Futian. He didn't pay much attention to his casual behavior that day. Ye Futian was just a man about to die. He had been so focused on Xia Qingyuan that he had even forgotten about Ye Futian's existence.
He only remembered now that he saw Ye Futian.
"Goddess Xia wants to study puppets, so I brought him along," Ying Qing bowed and said.
"Yes." Han Lin nodded. Ying Qing's idea was not a bad one. He looked at Xia Qingyuan and said, "These are the puppets that have been refined. This one is not completely refined, so there is no one to control it for now."
"Thank you." At that moment, Xia Qingyuan actually had extremely strong killing intent in her heart, but she did her best to restrain herself and not let any of it leak out. Otherwise, all of her previous efforts would have been in vain.
She looked at the corpse puppets and used her Divine Telekinesis to investigate them. She seemed to be studying the puppets carefully.
"The Dao Insight actually seems to be born naturally. This puppet refinement technique is exquisite indeed, and I've never heard of it even from Master." Xia Qingyuan praised him. She could naturally tell that Han Lin was intentionally using the art of puppets to attract her interest, so she deliberately praised him and showed strong interest in him so that he would let his guard down.
Han Lin smiled after hearing Xia Qingyuan's words. He said, "This art is a secret of Senluo Manor. It is indeed extraordinary. However, Goddess Xia Qingyuan's Master is an otherworldly master. His cultivation method is definitely not something that Senluo Manor can compare to."
Xia Qingyuan didn't comment and continued to study the puppets. Seeing that Xia Qingyuan wasn't paying attention to him, Han Lin said sensibly, "You can study it here now. You can do whatever you want with these puppets."
"Thank you." Xia Qingyuan nodded at Han Lin while suppressing her killing intent. She actually wanted Han Lin to leave right away, but she forced herself not to show her eagerness or even drive him away.
She couldn't afford to be careless at a time like this.
Xia Qingyuan didn't even do anything after Han Lin left. She was still studying the puppets outside, and she seemed to be very focused.
This was Senluo Manor. There were countless pairs of eyes watching her. She had to be very careful.
Night fell. Senluo Manor looked gloomy because of the deathly aura lingering around it.
Xia Qingyuan finally began to act. She brought several puppets into the palace, then ordered the Little Condor to take Ye Futian into the Inner Yard alone and cast a sealing spell. She had been doing this every night for the past few days, cutting off his divine consciousness. This was a common method used by cultivators outside, so no one would suspect anything.
The other puppets were under her control, so she didn't dare to make a move until now. Moreover, she didn't dare to do it in front of those puppets.
As if sensing the sealing power, Ye Futian finally opened his eyes and took a deep breath. He felt much more comfortable now that he was out of the matrix. He did not have to waste energy to resist the invasion of the power and could recover his internal injuries on his own.
However, he still needed more time. He was still very weak after just getting out of the matrix.
A pair of beautiful faces came into view when he opened his eyes. It was Xia Qingyuan.
She felt a pang in her heart when she saw Ye Futian. She felt that she was useless for not making a move until now.
"Didn't I tell you to go back to Emperor Xia's Realm? Why did you take the risk to come here?" Ye Futian sighed softly. It was extremely risky for Xia Qingyuan and the Little Condor to pass through the spatial crack to come to the Divine Prefecture. If the Little Condor hadn't been able to track him, they would have fallen into the endless spatial turbulence.
However, it was fortunate that they came. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to get out of this predicament.
Xia Qingyuan looked at him coldly. He was still like this even at a time like this.
She squatted down and picked Ye Futian up. Ye Futian had a strange look in his eyes. He then saw her Life Spirit bloom, and the holy and dazzling Lotus of Life bloomed. Petals grew out one by one, growing larger and larger, rising into the air and covering the entire space. Each petal flowed with an unparalleled breath of life.
Other than that, Xia Qingyuan seemed to have endless life currents on her body. They were like threads, seeping into Ye Futian's body. Those threads connected her and Ye Futian. At this moment, under the brilliant divine light, she was as holy as a Jiutian Goddess. She was inviolable.
Their bodies seemed to have melded together perfectly. Life force flowed from Xia Qingyuan's body into Ye Futian's, nibbling away at the power of death that had invaded Ye Futian's body. It invaded Ye Futian's limbs, bones, and organs. At that moment, Ye Futian had no secrets before Xia Qingyuan.
The blooming petals slowly closed, enveloping the two of them. In the darkness, it was like a blooming lamp.
Not far away, the Black Wind Condor saw this scene and felt a bit sad. In broad daylight … no, in the dark, in front of the Condor Lord. Did she really not see him as a human?
How dare she.
Lord Condor turned around and walked out. He would not look at anything indecent.
He thought to himself, Master, you have a day like this.
At this moment, the Condor Lord, who had always been biased against Xia Qingyuan, sighed.
The princess was a real woman!
That night, the Condor Lord spent several hours outside, feeling a lot of emotions.
Finally, the holy light gradually dissipated. The pure lotus petals slowly returned to the lotus. Xia Qingyuan and Ye Futian appeared inside.
At this moment, Xia Qingyuan was shy. Her delicate face seemed to be dripping water. She was beautiful.
"Thank you," Ye Futian said to Xia Qingyuan. Ye Futian said to Xia Qingyuan. He was a little dazed when he saw her shy face. At that moment, Xia Qingyuan's long hair was flowing down her back. Her beautiful eyes and face were full of womanly charm. She did not look like the "princess" that she usually was.
Xia Qingyuan glared at Ye Futian. She seemed to be a bit resentful.
"How do you feel?" Xia Qingyuan asked softly. She did not seem to realize that her voice had softened a bit.
"I can move the aura in my body freely. Now I need some time to recover from my injuries," Ye Futian said. The threat of the death intent had been completely removed. He was no longer bound by it. With Xia Qingyuan healing him, he was in a better state than when he had first arrived in the Divine Prefecture.
Now, he just had to wait for himself to recover.
"Okay." Xia Qingyuan nodded slightly. "Rest well."
As she said this, she glanced at Ye Futian and carried him into the room. She then walked out with a blush on her face. She seemed to have noticed a pair of bright eyes peeking at her. She was stunned, but Lord Condor had already turned his head away.
He did not see anything.
Xia Qingyuan walked behind the Black Wind Condor. The Condor Lord clearly felt a gust of cold wind. He couldn't help but exclaim that women were really fickle. She changed her attitude so quickly.
She only peeked a few times. Was it necessary?
"Bring a puppet here," Xia Qingyuan ordered. She was going to destroy the puppets one by one for the sake of her research. That way, Ye Futian would naturally disappear in a reasonable manner.
These puppets were no longer human beings. They would only become Senluo Manor's killing weapons. Naturally, Xia Qingyuan didn't feel guilty about it. The Black Wind Condor would bring in a puppet every once in a while for Xia Qingyuan to clean up.
Xia Qingyuan returned to the room to rest after everything was cleaned up. Of course, Ye Futian was there as well.
Therefore, the two of them had to share a room.
Ye Futian had no choice but to do it.
The next morning, Ye Futian felt much better. His injuries were healing rapidly. At this rate, he would be as good as new in no time.
Now, he could not let anyone find out.
Han Lin came here as usual, but this time, he did not see Xia Qingyuan. It was also the first time Xia Qingyuan did not see him since she came to Senluo Manor.
The Black Wind Condor saw him and said that Xia Qingyuan had some enlightenment yesterday and was cultivating in seclusion.
Han Lin saw that Xia Qingyuan's palace was filled with dazzling divine light. Holy lotuses bloomed and enveloped the courtyard. He said that he would disturb the goddess another day.
At this time, Han Lin did not realize what Xia Qingyuan's seclusion meant to him.
He had already heard the report that Xia Qingyuan had refined all the puppets during her cultivation. Although it was a little painful, he thought it was worth it as long as he could attract Xia Qingyuan. Now that Xia Qingyuan had some enlightenment, he was even more delighted.
Everything seemed to make sense.
Therefore, Han Lin left without hesitation. As for Xia Qingyuan, she stayed in Senluo Manor and began cultivating in seclusion for a period of time!
