Chapter 1276 Locating Bai Xutao
1276 Locating Bai Xutao
Sometime later, Yuan asked, "How long will she stay inside that egg?"
"Until she fully recovers from her injuries, which could take months if not years, and since her bloodline was cursed, it will probably take years." Dong Ye explained.
"Years…?" Yuan gritted his teeth in frustration after learning that it could potentially be years until he sees Feng Yuxiang again.
Not wanting to wait such a long time, he asked, "Is there anything we can do to lower that time— help her recover faster?"
"There is one way. Since you're the Immortal Monarch, your blood should be able to help her recover faster, as well as weaken her curse at the same time." Dong Ye said.
"With that being said, you should not give her too much of your blood, as it could have the opposite effect and affect her negatively."
"How much blood should I give her?"
"A few drops once a week should suffice."
"Okay."
Yuan didn't hesitate to feed several drops of his blood to Feng Yuxiang immediately.
The moment his blood touched the egg's surface, the golden symbols surrounding it emitted a faint glow, and his blood was absorbed into the shell as if it were being consumed.
"Looks like it's working." Dong Ye said.
Yuan sighed in relief, and he prayed that it wouldn't take years before they met again.
He then asked, "One more thing. Can I take her with me when I travel?"
Dong Ye nodded, "Of course. However, if you want to carry her around safely, you'll need a special spatial ring that can store living entities inside. Fortunately, I happen to have something like that with me."
He proceeded to retrieve a spatial ring and offered it to Yuan.
"This is a Grand Spatial Ring. Unlike ordinary Spatial Rings, they have a whole world inside, allowing you to carry around living beings. The only drawback is its size, so you won't be able to fit as many things inside as an ordinary Spatial Ring. Even the biggest Grand Spatial Rings out there won't have as much capacity as a medium-sized Spatial Ring or Storage Pouch."
"This Grand Spatial Ring has enough room to fit Feng Yuxiang and two other individuals."
"Thank you for this." Yuan accepted the Grand Spatial Ring. As curious as he was about its value, he feared that he would not be able to accept it after learning about it.
"My liege." Dong Ye called him.
"Yeah?"
When Yuan looked at him, Dong Ye suddenly lowered his head and spoke in a sincere voice, "I'm truly sorry for this inconvenience. If this useless sack of old bones had shown up a little earlier, your precious friends wouldn't have been hurt. I had left the Third Heaven briefly to investigate the other Ancient Seal holders, but this isn't meant to be an excuse at all. I will accept any punishment you may have for me."
Yuan shook his head and said, "Stop it. You're not at fault here. And if it weren't for you, things would've ended much worse for all of us, so if anything, I should be thanking you."
"Thank you for protecting my friends, Dong Ye."
"Ah... my liege," Dong Ye muttered as he felt profound emotions welling up within his ancient soul.
He then stood tall and spoke in a serious voice, "This humble servant shall look for Bai Xutao right now. If you need anything, just send me a message and I will come running back."
"Take us back to the city before you leave," Yuan said as he stored Feng Yuxiang inside the Grand Spatial Ring.
Sometime later, Yuan and Xi Meili returned to the city while Dong Ye went to find Bai Xutao.
"What are we going to do now?" Xi Meili asked him.
"I'm going to meet up with some of my friends to let them know that there will be a slight delay in our journey, and then I will deal with Bai Xutao. After that, I'll find Liang Xiaosheng for his Ancient Seal. Oh, I also have to deal with the Ten Great Families before we make our way to the Fourth Heaven."
"Your friends? Ten Great Families?" Xi Meili raised her eyebrows.
"Oh, you haven't met them yet, but they'll be traveling with us to the Fourth Heaven. As for the Ten Great Families, they aren't even worth mentioning." Yuan briefly explained.
Sometime later, Yuan arrived at the Cultivators' Haven. When he arrived, he could see three beauties standing outside the building.
When these beauties noticed him, they immediately walked over with smiles on their faces.
ƈοm "Who is this?" Chu Liuxiang asked, her gaze fixated on Xi Meili.
"This is Xi Meili." Yuan introduced her.
"Oh, you're the princess from the Ancient Dragon City, right? Nice to meet you! I'm Chu Liuxiang."
"Meixiu."
"Li Jinxi."
"These are my friends, and they'll be traveling with us," Yuan added.
"Hello. I wasn't expecting to travel with such a large group." Xi Meili greeted them with a bright smile.
However, she was crying inwardly, 'These three humans are so gorgeous! Does he only have beautiful females as friends or something?!'
Not only are his servants beautiful, but even his traveling companions are beautiful. This made Xi Meili recall her talk with Xi Mingze about having more rivals in the future.
Meanwhile, Yuan said to them, "I'm sorry, but something came up, so I'll have to delay it for a little longer."
"What happened? Is there anything we can do to help?" Meixiu asked.
Yuan showed them Feng Yuxiang's egg and explained the situation to them.
"What?! How dare that bastard do such a thing to Feng Feng?!" Chu Liuxiang was greatly agitated by the end.
"Yuan, are you okay? We'll be here if you need to talk." Meixiu said.
He nodded, "I'm fine, but I'll make that bastard pay for hurting them."
"Should I help you?" Li Jinxi asked.
"No, this man is really powerful. Even I wouldn't be able to defeat him if he used his full power."
"If he's as powerful as you say, how will you make him pay…?"
"He restricted his cultivation to Spirit King to obey the rules of this place, so it's not as though he's untouchable from the get-go."
"I see… Then good luck."
The next moment, Dong Ye's voice echoed in Yuan's mind, "My liege, I've located Bai Xutao."
Yuan's eyes sparkled with a profound intensity as he inquired, "Where is he?!"
