Looking at the three people kneeling on the ground.
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
"Very good, I hope you remember what was said today, otherwise..."
As he spoke, Qian Renjue paused for a moment.
In an instant, a violent, evil killing intent completely enveloped Yan and Xie Yue!
Hu Liena was no exception.
The smile on her face quickly disappeared.
"Your Highness~"
Ling Yuan Douluo raised her hand slightly, concern flashing in her eyes.
Soft Bone Rabbit immediately let out a startled cry, and wanting to distance herself.
Qian Renjue had already activated his martial spirit.
A fallen angel with six wings hovered behind him, and shock filled Yan and Xie Yue's eyes.
Three purple, two black! Five spirit rings.
The fifth ring suddenly began to flicker.
Xie Yue and Yan's bodies trembled, their faces turning pale, drained of blood.
5th Ring, The Evernight Shroud descended!
A black cube enveloped the five of them.
Qian Renjue, with silver hair and blood-red eyes, dressed in purple with pitch-black six wings on his back.
His voice was devoid of any emotion.
"Otherwise..."
"I will take back everything from you, including your lives!"
"Do you understand, Hu Liena?"
"Xie Yue, Yan."
Qian Renjue spoke coldly, his breath icy.
In this pitch-black space, his blood-red eyes were particularly striking.
"I understand, senior brother. I understand," Hu Liena hurriedly replied, her hair slightly frosted because the chill exuded by Qian Renjue.
She looked at Qian Renjue in front of her.
All traces of seduction were gone, fear filled her eyes, her knees collapsed on the ground.
She bowed deeply, with utmost submission.
"Nana has always remembered senior brother's teachings, and would never betray you."
"Your Highness, we… we understand!"
The temperature in the black shroud was extremely cold, so much so that Yan instinctively activated his martial spirit.
Under his feet, one yellow and one purple spirit ring appeared.
The Flame Lord spirit floated above his head.
The flames on his body flickered weakly, as if they could extinguished at any moment.
Xie Yue's twin blades spun, his body stiff from the cold.
"Let me remind you, I am not joking."
Qian Renjue slowly retracted his spirit ability, deactivating his martial spirit.
In a cold voice, he commanded:
"Ling Yuan, give them the items."
"Yes."
Ling Yuan Douluo nodded slightly.
She immediately stepped forward, intending to feed Qian Renjue a Awakening Pill.
"Don't waste it."
Qian Renjue raised his hand, pushing Ling Yuan away.
Unmoved by her muffled groan or the soft, bouncy feeling from his palm. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
With that, Qian Renjue turned his back on Hu Liena and the others, walking several meters away, needing to calm down alone.
Ling Yuan Douluo stood still, her eyes trembling.
Her expression was vibrant, alternating between red and white, then transforming into bashfulness.
Without being obvious, she rubbed her chest.
As she glanced at Qian Renjue's back, a hint of coyness flickered in her gaze.
After collecting herself, Ling Yuan Douluo put away the Awakening Pill and looked at the three kid who were still kneeling.
"Nana, you can all stand up now."
"Okay."
Hu Liena nodded gently and stood, looking at Qian Renjue's back.
Though still somewhat confused, she didn't think of it anymore
In any case, Hu Liena had already decided to listen to everything her senior brother said for the rest of her life.
Obediently and willingly.
She wanted to step forward but was stopped by Ling Yuan Douluo.
She reminded her, "Wait a little longer."
Yan and Xie Yue had already stood up, the frost on their bodies quickly melting.
However, they still felt an immense fear.
The strength and spirit ring configuration of His Highness was simply inhuman!
That terror, corrupted aura was terrifying.
Hu Liena looked at Qian Renjue's back.
Puzzled, she asked, "Sister Ling Yuan, what is senior brother giving us?"
"This—"
Ling Yuan smiled as she took out a delicate brocade box, opening it.
Inside lay three jade-like pills, the size of a dragon's eye.
"The Essence-Nurturing Pill."
The main ingredient is an immortal herb—the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.
Its medicinal energy are gentle and rich, easy to absorb, but it takes a long time to concoct
It can strengthen your foundation and expel impurities from your body.
For any spirit master, it's a rare cultivation accelerator."
"Essence-Nurturing Pill?"
Hu Liena stared curiously at the pill.
"Yes. According to His Highness, after taking this pill, you can immediately go and hunt for your third spirit ring."
Ling Yuan's light words.
Caused a massive wave in the hearts of Yan and Xie Yue.
"Isn't this... a bit too much?"
Yan was a bit incoherent, disbelief, like being hit by an unexpected gold.
Hu Liena frowned and scolded:
"Yan, senior brother never says things carelessly. Even the whale jelly you ate had something to do with him."
Yan and Xie Yue looked at each other in surprise.
"Ha ha... Don't worry. This pill was made by His Highness from the immortal herb he found last month. It will strengthen your foundation, with no side effects. The effects will be sufficient to support your cultivation up to the level of Soul Saint."
Ling Yuan Douluo chuckled.
Such heaven-defying immortal herbs were indeed hard to comprehend for most of people.
Ling Yuan began distributing the Essence Nurturing Pills to Xie Yue and the others.
"Thank you, Your Highness, Elder," Xie Yue said, now even more respectful.
He had initially thought Qian Renjue's cultivation was due to the pill, but it turned out to be genuine strength.
"Swallow it, meditate, and circulate your soul power to absorb it," Ling Yuan instructed.
"Thank you, Sister Ling Yuan," Hu Liena said sweetly, taking the lead in swallowing the Essence Nurturing Pill.
Xie Yue and Yan followed closely behind.
They understood that this was a great opportunity.
Soon, the three of them sat cross-legged, and a special fragrance of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid began to emanate from their bodies.
A faint white mist floated up from their skin.
"Achoo, achoo~"
The Soft Bone Rabbit sneezed while leaning against Qian Renjue's ankle, shivering slightly.
Qian Renjue looked down and smiled embarrasedly, then awkwardly turned away after a brief glance to Ling Yuan Douluo
He raised his right hand, clenched it lightly, and came back to his senses.
Quickly, he wiped his hand on his clothes, trying to clear the thoughts from his mind.
Ling Yuan stood silently in place, secretly observing Qian Renjue's back.
Seeing his somewhat flustered state, her eyes sparkled with amusement, and her cherry lips curved into a shy smile.
She lightly covered her chest, her face turning bright red again.
...
Time passed.
The medicinal properties of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid were the gentlest, making it suitable even for someone like Yan, a soul master with dual attributes of fire and earth.
After about an hour, Hu Liena was the first to wake up, opening her eyes with joy.
"Senior Brother!" she exclaimed when she saw Qian Renjue back to normal.
"Shh," Qian Renjue raised a hand, signaling her to keep quiet.
"Don't disturb Xie Yue and the others."
"Mmm," Hu Liena nodded quickly, hurriedly getting up and running towards Qian Renjue.
Wanting to make up for the surpised she had just received, she pressed herself tightly against Qian Renjue's chest, looking up at him sweetly.
"Senior Brother, Nana has broken through to level 30!"
"Hmm, were you scared by me just now?" Qian Renjue asked, satisfied, as he gently stroked her delicate face.
"No," Hu Liena replied softly.
"Nana will always listen to you and never betray Senior Brother or the Spirit Hall."
"Heh, Senior Brother believes you," Qian Renjue chuckled, rolling his eyes as he helplessly withdrew his thumb from Hu Liena's mouth.
Pop!
A small sound echoed.
It seemed she had a habit of sucking on things tightly, perhaps due to her earlier childhood habit of using a pacifier.
