Chapter 13985 He's Rich

Shangguan Yue was extremely anxious, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. She quickly pointed at Ling Xiao and spoke rapidly:

"He has nothing else, but he's rich!"

"Look at him, he's the Overlord Emperor, the entire Overlord City is his territory."

"The city is overflowing with gold, silver, and rare treasures; it's so rich it's practically dripping with oil!"

"If you can save him, we'll split his wealth. I guarantee you'll make a fortune, never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of your life, and you'll be able to roam the martial arts world with impunity!"

Lian Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, her fingers stroking her chin. After a moment of contemplation, a calculating glint flashed in her eyes, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips. Finally, she nodded.
"it is good!"

"But I have to make this clear from the start: if I can't save him, you'll have to compensate me with anything of value you have. These pills are the result of my life, and I can't let them go to waste."

After saying that, she carefully took out a crystal-clear white jade bottle from her bosom. The bottle shimmered with a soft light in the sunlight.

She gently uncorked the bottle and poured out a pill the size of a thumb.

This elixir is pure white like jade, with a faint halo flowing across its surface, like twinkling stars in the night sky. It emits a refreshing fragrance that instantly invigorates the senses.

Lian Yue squatted down, reached out and pinched Ling Xiao's chin, pried open his mouth with a little force, and quickly forced the pill into his mouth.

Soon, a pale green energy emanated from Ling Xiao's body, swirling and hovering around him like wisps of smoke, as if an invisible hand was gently caressing his body.

Not long after, Ling Xiao's body began to tremble slightly, his brows furrowed tightly, and a look of pain appeared on his face, as if he were going through a fierce struggle.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yue's eyes widened, and she hurriedly asked anxiously:
"what happened?"

Is he getting better?

Why do you look like you're in so much pain?

After carefully examining Ling Xiao, Lian Yue's expression turned grim. Her once rosy cheeks lost their color, and she frowned as she said:

"His blood has consumed my elixir!"

"There seems to be some strange power in this kid's body that is rejecting the medicinal power. It's like an invisible barrier that keeps the medicinal power of my pills out of reach, making them unable to work at all."

Without hesitation, Shangguan Yue's eyes revealed determination and resolve as she spoke loudly:
"Keep feeding!"

"I refuse to believe he can't be cured!"

"He is the Overlord Emperor, how could he die so easily?"

"If we feed him a few more pills, we might be able to break through that strange power within him."

Lian Yue looked at the jade bottle in her hands with heartache, clutching it tightly as if it were her most precious treasure. She then looked at Shangguan Yue, her eyes filled with hesitation and reluctance.

"This elixir is quite expensive!"

“Each one requires herbs that have been used for thousands of years to make. These herbs are extremely rare and hard to come by. I don’t know how much effort and energy I have spent making these pills.”

"Are you sure you want to continue?"

"If continuing to feed it still doesn't work, then we'll really lose everything."

Shangguan Yue's expression was serious, her brows slightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed determination as she spoke, enunciating each word clearly:

"He's the Overlord Emperor, how could he be short of money?"

"Batian City is incredibly wealthy; its riches are like a never-ending river."

"Moreover, he must have many treasures on him!"

"Any one of those treasures would be enough to drive the martial arts world crazy."

"It's worth any price to save his life!"

"Maybe by saving him, we can gain far more than we give."

Lian Yue gritted her teeth, biting her lower lip tightly. After thinking for a moment, a resolute look flashed in her eyes. She took out the medicine bottle from her bosom and continued to feed Ling Xiao the medicine.

She carefully placed the pill into Ling Xiao's mouth, her eyes filled with anticipation and trepidation, her movements as gentle as if she were handling the most precious treasure in the world.

Time passed by, and after about half an hour, Ling Xiao's originally bloodless face gradually regained some color, and the hideous wounds on his body began to heal at a visible speed. His injuries finally returned to normal.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yue was overjoyed, but after waiting a while and seeing that Ling Xiao was still unconscious, she became somewhat impatient.

She kicked Ling Xiao a few times, the movements not hard, but with a hint of urgency, muttering to herself:

"Then when will he wake up?"

"It can't stay like this forever, can it?"

"If he doesn't wake up, all our efforts will have been in vain."

Lian Yue shook her head, her hair swaying gently with the movement, and said softly:
"I am also not certain."

"His condition is too complicated. That strange power from before is still lingering. We can only take it one step at a time."

"We've done our best. Whether he wakes up or not depends on his own fate."

Just then, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air, as if a pebble had been thrown into a calm lake.

Green Spirit suddenly appeared in front of Ling Xiao. She was graceful and radiated a faint spiritual light, like a fairy who had walked out of a fairyland.

Upon seeing Green Spirit, Shangguan Yue and Lian Yue froze on the spot, their eyes wide with shock, their mouths slightly open, unable to utter a word.

Green Spirit glanced at the two of them, her eyes filled with a hint of wariness. Her gaze was like a cold blade, making Shangguan Yue and Lian Yue shiver involuntarily.

Then, she turned her gaze to Ling Xiao, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, a worry that was like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, fleeting yet impossible to ignore.

In an instant, Lian Yue's eyes narrowed sharply, as if she had discovered some earth-shattering secret. Her tone was filled with undisguised shock and excitement as she blurted out:

"She's actually a sword spirit, and a very strong one at that!"

"That fluctuation of spiritual power is something that no ordinary sword spirit can possess. With such strength, it is likely to stir up a bloodbath in this martial world."

“I’m starting to have some doubts about how you managed to capture Ling Xiao. This sword spirit’s strength is no weaker than the top experts in your Demon Sea.”

"With her by Ling Xiao's side, ordinary people simply can't get close. What methods did you use?"

Lian Yue stared intently at Shangguan Yue, her eyes full of inquiry.

"Sword Spirit!" Shangguan Yue couldn't help but repeat, her voice unconsciously rising a few decibels.

Her eyes instantly lit up like bright lamps, radiating light as she stared intently at Green Spirit, her face filled with unbelievable surprise.

"How the hell should I know..."

"When I first met Ling Xiao, the sword spirit did not appear. I only found out later that he had such a powerful sword spirit protecting him."

She knew Ling Xiao better than most people, and she knew very well that Ling Xiao was no ordinary person. His behavior was mysterious and unpredictable, and he must be hiding many secrets.

Even so, she never expected that Ling Xiao would have such a terrifying sword spirit by his side.

The sword spirit exuded a chilling aura, and its every move seemed capable of tearing through space. Such a powerful being was no ordinary being.
