Chapter 502
Upon hearing this person's voice, Han Li was slightly stunned, feeling a bit surprised in his heart. Net
Then, the sea surface below rippled, and after a flash of white light, a cultivator slowly flew out from within.
This person was wearing the white robes of the Star Palace, with black hair reaching their shoulders and a jade-inlaid emerald headband around their forehead, looking at Han Li with a composed expression.
But when Han Li saw this person's face clearly, he was stunned and revealed a look of astonishment.
This person's face was like white jade, with delicate eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a refined nose, and tender red lips; they were an incredibly beautiful person. But what Han Li found inconceivable was that he couldn't identify whether this person was a man or a woman.
If one said the other was a woman, the lazy smile at the corner of their mouth and their every gesture were full of grace. If one said they were a man, their face was truly beautiful and pretty, and the hint of charm between their eyebrows would definitely have a fatal attraction to men.
"I don't know your honorable name. I am Ling Ling Yuling, an external law enforcement officer of the Star Palace. Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your help!"
This person's voice was pleasant and melodious, yet it was a neutral tone. This made Han Li frown slightly, muttering to himself incessantly.
This person reminded Han Li of Tian Buque of the Heavenly South Demonic Path's Joyous Union Sect.
But after a little thought, the two seemed completely different.
Although Tian Buque was also incredibly beautiful, his actions and voice made it obvious at a glance that he was a man.
As for the person opposite who called themselves Ling Ling Yuling, although their actions were all those of a man, there was an indescribable scent of powder hidden within, and their voice was low and full of magnetism, making it truly difficult to distinguish their gender.
"I am Han Li. Just now, it was merely a small effort. If the other party hadn't insisted on forcing me, I wouldn't have resorted to such ruthless methods." Although Han Li was surprised in his heart, he didn't reveal half of it on his face.
"Regardless, Ling is extremely grateful to you." Ling Ling Yuling smiled sweetly, and a hint of charm flowed out inadvertently.
Han Li felt a chill in his heart upon seeing this; in a situation where he hadn't figured out whether the other party was a man or a woman, he could only turn a blind eye to this person's beautiful appearance.
"Fellow Daoist, you are in such a hurry; are you planning to go to Heavenly Star City? It should be under martial law there now, and it is very difficult to enter. If you don't mind, I am willing to take you into the city to repay your kindness in saving me." Ling Ling Yuling put away their smile, and after their eyes turned, they immediately said solemnly.
The other party saying this made Han Li a bit surprised.
But after a second thought, having this person take him into the city was the main reason he had wiped out the two Reverse Star Alliance cultivators.
Only in this way could he show that he had nothing to do with the Reverse Star Alliance.
Now that the other party had taken the initiative to propose it, he naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing, so he slowly replied with a change in expression:
"My cave dwelling is located in Heavenly Star City, and I am indeed in such a hurry to return to my dwelling. If it is truly impossible to enter the city, then I will have to trouble you, fellow Daoist Ling."
"Easy to say. Since you were able to wipe out those two without hesitation, you naturally have the qualifications to enter the city without any proof. We in the Star Palace welcome you! However, the cultivators pursuing me this time were not just those two; there were several others with not-so-weak magic power. Let us leave this place quickly." Upon hearing Han Li say this, Ling Ling Yuling immediately said with a smile, their eyes flowing with light.
This time, Han Li didn't say anything and nodded slightly. The two transformed into green and white escape lights, flying toward Heavenly Star City.
On the way, Han Li curiously observed the other party carefully.
Ling Ling Yuling's white robes were somewhat loose, but looking from the outside, one couldn't see any characteristics of a man or woman. But under his careful observation, he still discovered that this person had no Adam's apple.
But just based on this point, one couldn't be sure that the other party was a woman. Because as far as he knew, some strange cultivation techniques had the miraculous effect of reversing yin and yang and changing some characteristics of men and women. Could this person be cultivating such a technique!
Han Li thought strangely in his heart.
Seemingly noticing Han Li's attention, this beautiful person smiled charmingly at Han Li, making Han Li feel embarrassed and unable to help but look away.
"Fellow Daoist, you possess two ancient treasures; it seems you are also a person blessed by heaven. I wonder what the origin of those copper ring ancient treasures is? I have had the fortune to see other ancient treasures, but I have never seen such supernatural powers." Ling Ling Yuling mentioned Han Li's ancient treasures intentionally or unintentionally while flying.
"Nothing much, just a bit more luck than ordinary people." Han Li naturally wouldn't tell the truth and glossed over it with an unchanging expression.
"Hehe, but for you to be able to kill two cultivators of the same stage alone, it is truly extraordinary. I wonder if you are interested in joining our Star Palace? I can recommend you to join." Seeing that Han Li didn't want to answer this, Ling Ling Yuling smiled lightly and didn't force it, then changed the subject and mentioned recruitment.
Han Li, in the escape light, couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.
This Ling Ling Yuling seemed not easy to deal with! Before even taking him into the city, they had already started giving him problems.
Cultivators joining the Star Palace now would all become cannon fodder for the Star Palace; he would never tie his own hands.
So after thinking about it, Han Li coughed lightly and deliberated:
"Although I have long yearned for your palace, the Sound-Slaying Sect once did me a great favor. I hold the position of guest elder in the Sound-Slaying Sect, and I am afraid it is inconvenient in recent years. I am truly sorry!" Han Li unceremoniously used the Sound-Slaying Sect as a shield again.
"It is fine. That you can be so loyal to people, I admire you greatly. But our Star Palace always welcomes people like you to join." Ling Ling Yuling in the white light didn't reveal any dissatisfaction upon hearing Han Li's polite refusal, but smiled faintly and started chatting with Han Li about some secrets and interesting stories of the Chaotic Star Sea, very tactfully not mentioning the Star Palace and the Reverse Star Alliance again.
With the other party changing so quickly, Han Li was naturally happy to deal with it easily.
The two flew forward in plain chat.
A day later, the two saw the huge Heavenly Star City from afar, and both couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy.
But before the two approached the giant island, a team of cultivators flew from somewhere, four men and one woman.
The leader, a middle-aged cultivator with a sallow face, was at the Core Formation early-stage, and the others were all at the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Greetings, Protector Ling!" The four Foundation Establishment men and women clearly recognized Ling Ling Yuling and bowed respectfully as soon as they flew in front.
It seemed that this person of indistinguishable gender had quite a reputation in the Star Palace.
And that sallow-faced cultivator also asked with a hint of surprise:
"Junior Brother Ling, are you alright? I was extremely worried when I received news of the attack on South Bright Island. Eh! Who is this fellow Daoist?"
The sallow-faced cultivator's gaze turned, and he looked at Han Li suspiciously several times.
"I was pursued by two Reverse Star Alliance cultivators on the way, and thanks to fellow Daoist Han for his help. And fellow Daoist Han's cave dwelling is located in Heavenly Star City, so I brought him back to the city together. Is there any problem with letting this fellow Daoist enter the city?" Ling Ling Yuling said with a calm expression.
Whether it was because of the fatigue of the journey or internal injuries, their face was a few shades paler than when they first met Han Li, faintly giving people a feeling of weakness.
"Since he is your savior, this is naturally no problem. Junior Brother Ling, are you injured?"
The sallow-faced cultivator revealed an expression of extreme concern. This made Han Li's heart move when he saw it.
"It is fine. Although I was hit by the other party's magic treasure, I have the Heavenly Fragrance Rope to protect me, so there is no major problem." A faint, visible blush rose on Ling Ling Yuling's beautiful face, but their expression became even colder.
"I have a secretly made Heavenly Spirit Pill here; Junior Brother Ling, take it first. Don't let your vitality be damaged." Upon hearing this, the sallow-faced cultivator seemed even more worried. After hesitating for a moment, he actually took out a small bottle from his body and handed it over eagerly.
Upon seeing this scene, Ling Ling Yuling's face sank suddenly, seemingly wanting to get angry. But then they thought of something. They suddenly turned anger into joy, their eyes flowing with charm, and said:
"Then Junior Brother thanks Senior Brother for the medicine. I still have to go to the Inner Palace to report on the South Bright Island matter. As for this fellow Daoist Han, I will trouble Senior Brother to help me send him into the city. Senior Brother must entertain my savior well." This Ling Ling Yuling stretched out a white, slender hand and took the small bottle with a smile, suddenly becoming extremely charming and full of style, completely turning into a woman.
"No problem. Elder Wang is on duty today; he won't make things difficult for Junior Brother. You can just leave this fellow Daoist Han to me." Upon seeing Ling Ling Yuling speak so softly to him, the sallow-faced cultivator revealed an excited expression of being flattered and guaranteed while patting his chest.
Han Li saw this scene, and a hint of strangeness flashed across his face.
Could this person really be a woman? Otherwise, why would the sallow-faced cultivator reveal such a infatuated look!
Han Li felt a bit confused in his heart.
