Chapter 286 Yan Jue's Delay, Shui Qingli's Arrangements
Just then, Yan Jue arrived at the doll shop through the Spirit Gate. Seeing Xin Ling and several Ye Luoli warriors inside, he couldn't help but wonder, "What are you all doing here?"
"Yan Jue?" Xin Ling was also surprised to see Yan Jue: "What brings you to the human world?"
"Princess Yue said that the fifth-tier warrior came to the human world to find the World-Speaking Armor, so she asked me to come and help." Yan Jue conjured a folding fan and held it in front of him to hide his embarrassment.
Princess Yue had originally sent Yan Jue to the human world immediately, but as for why he only arrived now, Yan Jue wouldn't tell Xin Ling that he had been turned away at the Ice Crystal River.
“Mr. Yan Jue, you’re late.” Blue Peacock sighed and rubbed his forehead. “Zhen came to the human world and wreaked havoc yesterday. It was my master and I who held her back before we could wait for Mandora.”
“However, the armor has already been taken by Mandora, and Zhen has been turned into a doll and taken home by Mo Sha,” Chen Sisi added.
“Yes, Sasa took that big doll home, but it suddenly disappeared last night.” Mo Sa’s mood turned somber as she spoke: “And the big rock is asleep…”
"So now the fifth-tier hero is nowhere to be found, and Mandora took his armor." Yan Jue said with some regret, "And Huang Shi even sacrificed himself, right?"
"That's roughly the situation." Shu Yan pushed up his glasses and said dejectedly, "Moreover, the Thunder Venerable who went to Wei Hua Mansion was defeated, and Wang Mo, Jasmine, Liang Cai, and Princess Luo Li were all transformed by Wei Hua. Jian Peng was also trapped."
"Although I left the Weihua Manor with armor, I was intercepted by Mandora halfway there."
Even the usually rational Shu Yan couldn't help but have moments of intense emotion: "If I were a little stronger, I wouldn't have let Wang Mo and the others risk their lives to protect me, and I wouldn't have let the armor they fought so hard to obtain fall into someone else's hands..."
"Shuyan..." Xinling hesitated, unsure how to comfort Shuyan.
"Shuyan, don't blame yourself. At least the armor didn't end up in the hands of a tenth-tier expert, right?" Chen Sisi walked to Shuyan's side and patted his shoulder. "There will be a way to save Momo and the others in the future."
"Yes, I believe that Master can protect her companions, and I am very gratified!" Zhuo Yan also comforted her from the side.
“In the worst-case scenario, we might really have to pin our hopes on my sister…” Xinling did not approve of Mandora’s method, but when all else failed, Mandora’s plan was the only one that offered any hope.

[Fairyland, Forest]
After returning to the fairyland, Shui Qingli looked at Wei Churuo and asked, "Madam Wei, is Princess Luo Li in your Weihua Mansion?"
"Princess Luo Li?" Although she didn't know why Shui Qingli would ask about Luo Li, she still honestly confessed, "She has been corrupted by me and become my puppet."
"In that case, take me to your Wei Hua Mansion quickly. I have important business with Princess Luo Li." Shui Qingli's expression was solemn: "It concerns the seal of the forbidden land. We should act as soon as possible."
“Alright.” Upon mentioning the seal, Wei Churuo didn’t ask any more questions. She directly summoned the demon flower and brought Shui Qingli and Wu Shenling to the Wei Flower Mansion.
……
【Fairyland, Rose Flower Mansion】
As soon as Shui Qingli entered the Wei Hua Mansion, she saw the Ye Luoli warriors and Pang Zun lying unconscious on the flowers in various positions, and she clearly realized how troublesome Wei Chu Ruo's abilities were.
"Madam Wei, you've had quite a few defeated opponents," Wu Shenling remarked, looking around with amusement.
"They were overestimating themselves by chasing me; I was merely defending myself." Wei Churuo walked up to Wei Luoli and said to Shui Qingli, "Vice Prime Minister, should I wake her up?"
"Thank you for your trouble." Shui Qingli nodded.
"Wildflowers fill the sky!" Wei Churuo reached out her hand to Wei Luoli, temporarily withdrawing the Wildflower Transformation spell.
Luo Li's attire returned to normal. She opened her eyes and saw Wei Chu Ruo standing close by. She immediately conjured her magic staff: "Ye Luo Li Magic, Heart Core Holy Staff!"
Wei Churuo didn't expect Luo Li to make a move as soon as she woke up, so she quickly took a few steps back to create distance.
"Princess Luo Li." Just then, Shui Qingli called out to Luo Li in time.
"Water Prince? What are you doing here?" Luo Li saw that it was an acquaintance and put away her staff, but she still looked at Wei Chu Ruo with displeasure.
After being controlled for so long, it's no wonder they couldn't have a good expression.
So Shui Qingli told Luo Li about her identity, what had happened during this time, and especially how Jin Litong had transformed into the Golden Gate and blocked the gate to the forbidden land.
"How could this be?" Luo Li was also surprised. It turned out that she and Jin Litong had been tricked into fighting against the tenth-level enemy. The problem was that they owed a favor to the second-level enemy. This was definitely repaying kindness with enmity.
“Princess Luo Li, only you can awaken Prince Jin now,” Shui Qingli said in a deep voice. “The longer it goes on, the deeper his consciousness will sink, and the harder it will be to awaken him.”
“We need him to leave the forbidden land so that we can open the gate. You probably don’t want him to exhaust his spiritual energy and lose himself.”
“I understand. Take me to the Forbidden Land and I will awaken Jin Litong.” Luo Li nodded, but considering her position, she still said to Shui Qingli, “However, Jin Litong and I will not get involved in your affairs with the Immortal Realm afterward. This is to repay your favor.”
"I understand." Shui Qingli understood Luo Li's feelings. After all, she was the last little princess of the royal family. From her perspective, she should be an enemy of the tenth-rank. Being able to stay out of it and not help either side was already giving him face.
"Tenth Rank, you must immediately take Princess Luo Li back to the Forbidden Land to awaken Prince Jin," Shui Qingli instructed.
"Yes." Martial God Ling accepted the order, but still asked, "Vice Prime Minister, aren't you coming back with me?"
"I have other things to do." Shui Qingli thought of Yu Qingyan; there were still some things he needed to figure out.
"Princess Luo Li, let's go then." Wu Shenling said, opening the passage.
“Okay.” Luo Li was also eager to save Jin Litong, so she went to the forbidden place without hesitation.
“Eighth Rank, you still need to keep an eye on the enemies in Weihua Mansion.” After Wu Shenling and Luo Li left, Shui Qingli began to instruct Wei Churuo: “Be careful of Mandora. She has obtained two pieces of Worldly Armor and may come back to deal with you at any time.”
"Understood." Wei Churuo's expression also turned serious.
She knew that since Mandora had already succeeded once through a sneak attack, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't try again. Moreover, if Mandora really gained control of the power of the two World-Supporting Armors, she would probably be no match for her.
Looks like I need to go out and lay low for a while...
