Chapter 325: Glazed

"Lingyun, who is this girl?" Looking at the girl lying on the bed, Nangong Nayue asked.

"She is a friend I knew a long time ago. She went missing during a great war later on. I had always thought she had perished in that war; I never expected to see her again now." Looking at the girl lying on the bed, Lingyun's expression was somewhat complex.

"Ugh..." The girl on the bed let out a low moan, and her eyelids began to flutter.

Lingyun's expression brightened, and he stared fixedly at the girl on the bed. Seemingly sensing Lingyun's gaze, the girl on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as Nangong Nayue saw the girl's eyes, she felt as if she had been swept into a world on the verge of destruction. She stood alone in that world of destruction, with the possibility of disappearing at any moment. Fortunately, an inexplicable force surged into her body at that moment, allowing her to break free from this world of destruction.

"Are you alright, Yuejiang?" Lingyun pressed one hand onto Nangong Nayue's shoulder, and vast Source Power continuously poured into her body.

Having regained her senses, Nangong Nayue could not help but have a trace of cold sweat appear on her forehead. If not for Lingyun acting in time, she feared her consciousness would have been completely erased in that world on the verge of destruction, leaving her a walking corpse.

"Lingyun, what was that just now?" Nangong Nayue asked.

"Liuli cultivates the Way of Destruction. Your magical detection just now triggered the last of the Destruction Power within her body. Fortunately, this Destruction Power was not very strong, otherwise even I could not have saved you." Lingyun lowered his hand and said.

"You said, the last of the Destruction Power?" A trace of doubt flashed in Nangong Nayue's eyes.

"That's right. Although I don't know what happened, the power in her body seems to have completely vanished. Now, she is no different from an ordinary girl." Lingyun placed his other hand on the girl's pulse and said with a frown.

While the two were talking, Liuli's unfocused pupils slowly converged, and then her gaze shifted to Lingyun.

"Liuli, you're awake? Is there anything wrong with your body?" Lingyun asked.

"Are you... Lingyun?" Liuli stared at Lingyun for a while before the girl spoke.

A smile curled at the corners of Lingyun's mouth: "Yes, it seems you haven't forgotten me yet!"

Nangong Nayue glanced at the two of them, then a flash of purple light appeared, and she vanished from the room.

"What exactly happened back then? Why did you disappear without a reason? I searched the entire battlefield at the time and couldn't find you." Seeing Nangong Nayue leave, Lingyun asked.

"At the time, I was attacked by several powerful SSS-rank Main God Envoys and lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, you were already appearing before me." Liuli pondered for a moment before speaking.

"You were only an ordinary member of the Cycle at the time. Why would that Big Egg send experts like SSS-rank Main God Envoys to attack you?" Lingyun said with a frown.

"At first I didn't know either, but now I do." Liuli reached out, grabbed Lingyun's hand, and placed it on her own chest.

"Liuli, you..." Lingyun looked at Liuli's actions and could not help but be dumbfounded, but his expression quickly turned serious. "This, what is this aura? A Main God Space Fragment? Could it be that the Big Egg used you as a backup plan for its future resurrection?"

"I think that is the case, but it appears it failed. At least in this fragment, I cannot sense any power of the Main God," Liuli said.

"The Main God's backup plan—we don't understand it. Placing this kind of thing inside your body is simply too dangerous!" Lingyun's expression was extremely serious.

"I'm afraid that's not possible; this fragment has completely fused with me. Although I don't know whose handiwork this is, the only thing that is certain is that, at least with this fragment, it has no chance of resurrection." Liuli let go of Lingyun's hand and said.

"Then what about your current situation?" A trace of doubt flashed in Lingyun's eyes.

"Just as you see, I am afraid I am truly no different from an ordinary person now." Liuli's expression was very calm, without the slightest hint of dejection over having lost all her power.

"Regardless of anything else, being able to survive is a good thing." A smile appeared on Lingyun's face. "In that battle back then, too many people died. You have just woken up and your body is still very weak; you should get some good rest first!"

After Lingyun left the room, Liuli extended her hand, and a trace of emerald light flashed and vanished from her palm. Liuli slowly closed her palm, and a mysterious light flashed in her eyes.

"I want to know, for what purpose did you make me become Lingyun's familiar?" Liuli spoke slowly toward a spot in the Void.

Before long, this place had been shrouded by an inexplicable Array. A shadow slowly solidified in front of Liuli and finally transformed into a woman—the very woman previously referred to as 'older sister' by Ruoxi.

"His current strength is still too weak. In this world, there are quite a few people who can pose a threat to his life," the woman said slowly. "Besides, didn't the little girl inside you hope to see him? Isn't this also the goal you have been striving for all along? After all, both of your names were given by him..."

"Heh, that really is a perfect reason!" Liuli looked toward the woman. "But I am even more curious now: who exactly are you, and why do you care so much about him?"

"You will naturally know that in the future." A mysterious smile appeared on the woman's face.

Liuli slowly stood up, and black and green powers simultaneously coiled around her body: "If you dare to do him any harm, even if it means death, I will drag you along on the road with me!"

"Is this considered a threat?" The woman chuckled, then reached out and pulled; a Scythe was dragged out from the Void.

Throwing the Scythe in her hand to Liuli, the woman said indifferently: "This is also what I wanted to tell you. If you dare to do anything detrimental to Lingyun, I will absolutely, at the very first moment, grind you into ashes!"

"I hope you can keep your word!" Liuli caught the Scythe, swung it a few times, and then stowed the Scythe behind her back.

"Then, we shall meet again next time." The woman chuckled, and her figure once again faded into the Void.

"This woman, what is her background?" Seeing the strange space around her begin to dissipate, the Scythe in Liuli's hand also slowly vanished. "This woman is simply too dangerous, but hindered by the Contract between us, I cannot tell Lingyun about this matter. Forget it, I will be the one to keep a close watch on her."
