"You humans can't be trusted, what do you want from this queen?" The bird asked as it looked at Yao Xuan with narrowed eyes.
"I'm not going to lie, I want some of your blood essence, but don't worry about being betrayed, I can and will heal you first."
Yao Xuan replied lightly, either way he would die if that bird got angry.
"Why should I trust you, human? This queen's current state was caused by several of you." The bird replied in a slightly annoyed tone of voice.
"Is the senior in so much pain that she doesn't even understand me? I said I'll heal you first so I can't hurt you."
Yao Xuan replied, he was a little worried, if the bird despaired and attacked him, the result would not be good.
"Uh, that Queen could just devour you after you healed me, what makes you think you could make it out alive?" The bird replied, then looked at Yao Xuan expectantly.
"Well…I can't make it out alive anymore if you don't let me actually." Yao Xuan said that he had already realized this the moment the bird spoke for the first time.
"Ohhh, I see that despite being young, you're not that naive. Very well, let's make a deal, I'll give you 5 drops of my essence, nothing more. Come closer and heal me quickly."
Finally the bird seemed to let its guard down, this is a strong beast that has lived for hundreds of years, a mere cultivator of the Nascent Profound Realm could not threaten it even on its deathbed.
Yao Xuan approached slowly, this time the bird didn't stop him, he seemed to have understood the conversation between his mother and Yao Xuan.
Yao Xuan approached to check the bird's injuries, only then did he see how serious they were, the bird looked like it had fought several shocking battles.
"Senior, could this junior know what your strength is? And how could I address you?" Yao Xuan asked curiously.
"You don't deserve to know, you just can know that this planet could not withstand my wrath if I were in my peak... As for this queen's name, just call me Luan Li"
She replied, only then did Yao Xuan realize how stupid he was to think of trying to kill her and take her lineage and offspring.
From his words, she is at least a profound beast that is in one of the Seven God Realms. Even if it's just five drops of blood essence, it will still be very beneficial for him, it remains to be seen if she will fulfill her end of the bargain.
Yao Xuan didn't want to ask any more questions, the reason why such a strong profound beast ended up in this place is not hard to imagine. And given the injuries to her body, she certainly went through a catastrophic situation.
Yao Xuan then raised both of his hands, he then placed them on one of Luan Li's wings, then Yao Xuan began to operate the miracle of life, along with the Light Profound Energy.
"That... Human, you-"
"You don't need talk, I know you want to know about my Light Profound Energy, don't you? Please don't tell anyone."
"To be honest, if you weren't a profound beast but a human, I would let you die, but I wouldn't use my Light Profound Energy, I still don't know if I'll live, but that's all I have to say. "
Luan Li wanted to ask, from her reaction it was pretty obvious what it would be, Yao Xuan then interrupted her and said a few words. His last words left Luan Li very surprised.
'So he only helped me because I was a beast? Hump, humans can't be trusted, I won't be fooled.' She thought as she secretly scoffed.
At that moment Luan Li felt her big body heat up, this feeling was very comfortable, little by little her wounds were healing, even old wounds were also healed.
'There's no doubt, he's like her, and I still smell a dragon coming from him, but it's very weak, would he be a descendant between humans and dragons perhaps?' Luan Li continued to think, without realizing it, she ended up getting curious about Yao Xuan.
Time passed naturally, soon three hours had passed, Yao Xuan looked exhausted, his clothes were soaked in sweat, his expression was a little pale, still he didn't want to stop, he wanted to test his limits, even though he didn't know exactly how strong this profound beast is.
'Does he not intend to stop even in this state? What makes this human want my blood essence that much? Is weird.'
Luan Li wondered again, she didn't try to persuade Yao Xuan with words, not least because she wanted to be healed so she could disappear from this place, she only fell here due to her injuries and because she was worried about her daughter, in case she ended up dying, her daughter would still have a chance in this underworld.
Another two hours passed, Yao Xuan was shaking and panting from exhaustion, not only expending a lot of profound energy, but he was mentally tired as well, his abilities are not just physical strength and profound energy.
Luan Li just watched intently, her puppy next to him seemed more and more excited, her mother was being healed, and completely, what son or daughter wouldn't be happy?
"Human, enough is enough, this Queen is completely healed, you can just rests."
A few more minutes passed, at this moment Yao Xuan was about to fall, it could happen at any moment, but then Luan Li's voice rang out.
"Urhgg, it was really tiring-" Yao Xuan then stopped operating the Miracle of Life, as well as his Profound Energy, he tried to say something but only fell out mid-sentence.
"What a strange human, he really went to such lengths for a profound beast. I'll just wait until he wakes up." Luan Li said as he watched Yao Xuan passed out on the ground.
Some unknown time later...
"Huh, I ended up passing out... This, where am I?" Suddenly Yao Xuan woke up, he remembered the last things that happened before he passed out, and then he realized that he was in an unknown location.
"Ohh, I see you woke up human. How do you feel?" A female voice sounded, Yao Xuan recognized her immediately, but what he saw was unbelievable.
In front of him was a beautiful woman, she was approximately 1.70 tall, wore red clothes, her hair was crimson while her eyes were golden, her figure was plump and charming, her skin was white as jade and her face was flawless.
The place where they were was a cave, Luan Li had found this cave to rest and so she brought Yao Xuan here.
"You...?" Yao Xuan only managed to say one word before he braked.
Caaah Caaah Caaah
At that moment a small bird entered, it flew past the beautiful woman and landed on Yao Xuan's shoulder, then it rubbed its small head on Yao Xuan's face affectionately.
"Hmm, I see my daughter liked you, and to answer your question, or whatever that was, yes, I'm Luan Li." Luan Li said as he saw his puppy rubbing against Yao Xuan.
"Lady Li... Can't you really tell me what your strength is?" Yao Xuan asked next, he was very curious.
"This Queen has already said that you don't deserve to know, but since you did such a good job healing me, this queen will satisfy your curiosity... This queen is at the 6th Level of the Divine Master Realm." Luan Li finally said the strength she possessed, which astonished Yao Xuan immediately.
Yao Xuan didn't read much of the original story, he only had even read the Divine Phoenix Sect arc, but he stopped reading before Yun Che reached the Illusory Demon Realm.
He spent a lot of time without reading, but then he was curious to go back, and before that he researched many things in the fandom pages. There he got a lot of information, this included the seven divine realms and the realm of the True Gods.
He already imagined that Luan Li was from one of the seven divine realms, but owning the cultivation of the realm that is considered the peak of this era was very shocking.
"Hahahaha, this Queen knew you would make that face, you look surprised but not surprised at the same time, this intrigues this Queen, but I won't ask pointless questions."
Luan Li laughed heartily as he watched Yao Xuan's reaction, and then said a few words, but before he could say anything, she kept saying it.
"This queen is very grateful to you, I will not deceive you, I wanted to kill you, but my daughter convinced me not to, she thinks you're trustworthy, at the very least this Queen must honor our agreement. Here are the five drops of my essence. Bloodline, this queen will help you merge with them."
Finishing saying, she held out one of her hands, and then five small ones of blood appeared above, this wasn't just ordinary red blood, there was a small golden color between the red.
Yao Xuan on the other side was startled when he heard that Luan Li wanted to kill him, but then he was reassured by the next words, and when he saw the five drops of blood essence, his eyes shone brightly.
