Chapter 207 Returning to Old Haunts [3] Do I look a bit like I used to?
Sixth-tier Sa Rui came to Zhen's side and used her plant-based healing magic to help Zhen stop the bleeding and recover.
After all, they had been sealed together for so long. Although their relationship wasn't exactly close, they still had a bond formed from spending so much time together. So it was only natural that Sa Rui would go to their rescue immediately.
However, Sa Rui's magic is not specifically for healing, so its effects are naturally not as good as Princess Luo Li's; it can only temporarily help Zhen stabilize his injuries.
Seeing that Zhen's wounds were no longer a problem, Sa Rui used her immortal power to help him up. With Yue Yuanming's approval, she took Zhen back to his residence to prepare for further treatment.
Wearing a mask and unable to see any expression, Yue Yuanming was also very surprised by Shui Qingli's growth. Being stronger himself, he naturally understood Shui Qingli's magic.
The blood sword that Shui Qingli used after breaking Zhen's defense with the Water Shadow Sword was actually formed by him forcibly controlling Zhen's blood.
It can only be said that Qingli truly deserves to be called the master of water, and can even manipulate the blood, a special kind of "water," within living beings to launch attacks!
However, Yue Yuanming also noticed that although Shui Qingli seemed to have hit hard, she actually avoided vital points. The damage caused was not a big deal for the fairy; it would only require Zhen to rest in bed for a few days.
So why did Shui Qingli return to the forbidden land?
He risked his life to escape the forbidden land back then, so why has he suddenly returned now?
It had been quite a while since they last met, and Yue Yuanming wasn't sure what Shui Qingli was thinking, so he simply asked, "Qingli, why did you suddenly come back after being away for so long?"
Hearing that emotionless and arrogant voice again, Shui Qingli's eyes crinkled with a smile: "Yuanming, do you really not know why I've returned to the Forbidden Land?"
Shui Qingli's words were pointed, but Yue Yuanming became even more puzzled, not only by her way of addressing Shui Qingli, but also by her completely different attitude.
Beneath the mask lay undisguised surprise, but Yue Yuanming would not show it, nor would he allow Shui Qingli to leave so easily again.
One moment of weakness led to this separation that has lasted for a thousand years. If I were to be weak again this time, I fear it would be another longing that will last for who knows how long.
The other Dharma Aspects naturally heard Yue Yuanming and Shui Qingli addressing each other, and sensing the strange atmosphere between their leader and second-in-command, they were unsure what to do.
After all, the relationship between Yue Yuanming and Shui Qingli was indeed puzzling. They were so close at the beginning, but one day they suddenly seemed to be separated and became hostile to each other (one-sidedly), even to the point of being irreconcilable.
Lady Wei Chu Ruo, an eighth-rank official who loves gossip the most, could hardly hide her gossipy nature. Unfortunately, neither of the two parties involved were someone she could handle, so she could only suppress her gossipy desires and observe how things developed.
"Now that you're back, don't even think about leaving!" Yue Yuanming stretched out his hand to Shui Qingli, as if trying to pull this person, who had been out of his control for over a thousand years, back to his side: "Take him down!"
With Yue Yuanming's command, the Dharma Aspects abandoned their spectator's intent and turned their gazes to Shui Qingli, ready to pounce.
Shui Qingli's performance just now was astonishing. Before they could figure out his background, it would be difficult for the Dharma Aspects to cooperate in a tacit manner. This was the opportunity that Shui Qingli had been waiting for.
"The lotus blossoms are in full bloom, and the lotus flowers fill the sky!"
Wei Churuo, who was closest to Shui Qingli, cast the spell first, and countless illusory golden vines covered the ground, surrounding Shui Qingli.
Although Wei Churuo does not possess highly destructive magic, and due to the limitations of magic she cannot transform water into clarity, the main characteristic of the microbial attribute she controls is its omnipresence, making her more adept at control.
"Are you getting serious...?" Shui Qingli was not distracted by Wei Churuo's magic. He still looked at Yue Yuanming, who was so close yet seemed so far away, and remained calm and unmoved: "Then I'll get serious too."
As soon as Shui Qingli finished speaking, a faint blue light shone from his body, gradually igniting into a peculiar, cold blue flame.
At that moment, Shui Qingli, who was completely surrounded by the flames, unleashed a massive increase in immortal power, the resulting fluctuations of immortal power that startled everyone present.
Shui Qingli opened his eyes, his eyes radiating light, and a strange pressure rose from his body. For a moment, everyone except Yue Yuanming, who was seated at the head of the table, showed a hint of solemnity.
At the same time, just as Yue Yuanming, sitting on the throne, was about to make his move, he heard an unfamiliar child's voice—
"Water Prince, have you thought this through?" A soft, worried voice echoed in Shui Qingli's mind.
Before Yue Yuanming could figure out where the voice came from, he heard Shui Qingli's voice again: "Qianqian, don't worry, the worst outcome is that you stay."
However, when Yue Yuanming looked closely, he was surprised to find that Shui Qingli did not speak.
So, did he just hear what he was thinking?
