Chapter 1673 Master, You're a Thief

When Ruan Yu lay on the floor inside the magical artifact, her mind was completely blank.

what happened?

How come she... isn't alive at all?

"Master!" Wood Spirit Pearl was terrified and quickly replenished her life force.

With the continuation of life force, Ruan Yu's body was finally able to move, but she was not very happy. Her small face was tense: "I think... I might be in big trouble."

"Your body is overloaded." The clone flashed into the secondary space and said, "You should have just let me self-destruct, but instead, you self-destructed your main body and now you don't even have the basic strength to move."

"Stop for a moment." The clone was about to transfer life force to the Wood Spirit Orb.

"Can you move?" she asked Ruan Yu.

Ruan Yu remained motionless and could not utter a sound.

Not only was his body unable to move, but his consciousness was also gradually fading away.

"Alright, input your life force." The clone experiment is complete.

Once her life force was restored, Ruan Yu asked, "What do we do now?"

"Do you know what you look like right now?" The clone walked over, took a closer look, and puffed out its cheeks, trying not to laugh.

Ruan Yu remained silent, her face darkening.

"Look." The clone conjured a water mirror, "Hahahaha...!"

In the water mirror, there was a palm-sized mushroom with long arms, its body tinged with a bluish-black color.

No wonder Ruan Yu felt dizzy and lightheaded as soon as she woke up!

This is really a headache!

Her arms were very short, only a short section, so she wanted to support her head but couldn't.

Ruan Yuming understood, but she was really curious as to why she had become like this! The difference from before was too great!

"You're still laughing? If I kick the bucket, do you think you can escape unscathed?" Ruan Yu curled her lips, both angry and amused.

The clone barely managed to suppress a smile: "You can't even laugh? With you like this, who could resist laughing?"

After saying that, she burst into laughter again, this time even laughing until tears streamed down her face.

Ruan Yu: "..."

The Wood Spirit Pearl was almost depleted: "I...I can't hold on much longer."

"Oh, hold on a little longer, I still have something to ask you!" Upon hearing this, the clone's face turned serious in a second. She looked at Ruan Yu, "Let's talk about business first."

"The water spirit has been driven away, but he's not dead after all. There's no guarantee he won't come back. The Gongsun residence is not safe. Where should I go next? Or what should I do?"

The issue of creating clones is proving a bit difficult for Ruan Yu.

To be honest, she didn't know either.

"Until we have news of the Spirit Pearl, let's go find some spiritual herbs," Ruan Yu said after a moment of silence.

These medicinal herbs are of great use.

The clone nodded: "Okay."

"Uh... um!!" The Wood Spirit Orb finished transferring its last bit of life force and fell from the sky.

The clone easily scooped it up.

The last bit of green light in the spirit pearl in his hand dimmed. The clone frowned, stubborn but soft-hearted: "I really can't stand you. A dignified ancient spirit pearl, you can't even handle such a small amount of life force. Now I have to save you."

As she spoke, she allocated a portion of her life force to the Wood Spirit Pearl.

Mu Lingzhu barely managed to wake up from her coma.

The clone placed the Wood Spirit Orb and the storage artifact containing Ruan Yu together, and instructed, "Hurry up and recover, you'll need it later!"

The body cannot remain unconscious forever.

Leaving the secondary space, the clone yawned as it walked out of the room. It was just beginning to get light, and the morning air was a bit chilly.

The clone took out a fluffy cloak and tied it around its neck.

I immediately felt much warmer.

The shadow darted back and forth at the clone's feet. "Master, are you cold?"

He asked in a surprised tone.

Even the weakest ordinary cultivator wouldn't be affected by this chill. How could someone as powerful as our master be affected?

If Shadow hadn't mentioned it, the clone wouldn't have noticed the abnormality in its body. "I'm not cold, is it wrong to think it looks good?"

It seems that he transferred half of his life force to the Wood Spirit Orb, which is why his body is not in good condition.

However, life force can be restored slowly. She'll just have to endure it for now.

"I'm leaving now, Gongsun family." The clone was busy going to find the few spiritual herbs that Ruan Yu wanted, so he hurriedly left a message and departed.

Early in the morning.

Most of the Gongsun clan members were still asleep.

Those who got up early were startled when they heard this nightmarish voice transmission.

The sound... Everyone was still a little dazed from just waking up, and it took them a while to come to their senses.

Now I remember, it was the benefactor who saved the Gongsun family!

Is she leaving?

That won't do! They haven't even had a chance to thank her yet! They were busy preparing for the thank-you banquet last night, and just when they were finally wrapping it up, she ran away?

"My benefactor! My benefactor! Don't go yet!"

"At least eat this meal before you leave!"

"If all else fails, could you give me some travel expenses?" In a courtyard of over 100 square meters, there were boxes upon boxes of soul stones, magical artifacts, talismans... it was truly a generous offering.

money for the journey?

This is good, this is good!

Upon hearing this, the clone immediately turned back and appeared in the courtyard.

"My benefactor?" The Gongsun clansmen were stunned when they saw the clone. "You're back, my benefactor!"

"Hmm." The clone's eyes widened at the sight of the treasures filling the courtyard.

"My benefactor, please accept this small gift."

"Yes, our benefactor, we will not be able to eat or sleep if you don't accept it!"

"Alright then, since you're so sincerely begging me to accept it, I'll accept it." The clone's lips curled into a wide smile.

She secretly had the Wood Spirit Pearl infuse Ruan Yu with life force.

"What is it?" Ruan Yu thought it was something important.

"See all these treasures? I've kept them all for you," the clone declared. "After all, I don't love money."

Ruan Yu: "..."

If you really don't care about money, then send your treasures to my space!

Ruan Yu was speechless.

"I'm going to sleep." She lay down.

"Alright, alright, cut off the life force." The clone waved his hand and said to the Wood Spirit Orb.

Goal achieved, hehe.

"My benefactor, would you like to stay and enjoy the thank-you feast before you leave?"

As the saying goes, "He who takes a man's gift is bound to be grateful." Having just received such a generous gift, wouldn't it seem a bit snobbish to just turn around and leave?

The clone thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then we'll leave tomorrow."

"Great! Our benefactor has agreed! Let's get things done!"

Everyone left satisfied.

Back in the room, the clone randomly picked up a book about the various continents from the secondary space and started reading.

Without Ruan Yu issuing any tasks, Shadow had nothing to do, so he stayed by his clone's side: "Master, this book is from the Gongsun family's library, right? But I remember the library was destroyed, wasn't it?"

"You obviously don't understand the importance of thrift and frugality, so I must have moved all those books away before the library was destroyed!"

"Master is brilliant." What else could Shadow say but praise?

It's not really appropriate to say, "Master, you're a thief, aren't you?"
