Chapter 713: Sea Heart Spirit Pearl

Regarding Li Li Rouyun, who had shown strong goodwill, the wariness in Li Luo's eyes did diminish a little, but what he was concerned about right now was not this.

"This... Aunt Yun, I have a very important matter I wish to ask of you, and I hope you can lend a hand. This kindness, Li Luo will surely keep firmly in mind!" Li Luo said solemnly, his eyes filled with worry.

Right now Jiang Jiang Qinge's Bright Heart was still in a burning state, which was almost constantly consuming her life force. If this dragged on any longer, she might truly perish. To save Jiang Jiang Qinge's life, he could even easily hand over the so-called "Heaven King Token," so although he wasn't used to directly addressing a woman he had just met as aunt, he still made his request without hesitation.

After all, here even Niu Niu Biaobiao and Xi Chan were out of ideas, so he could only pin his hopes on the stronger and more far-sighted Li Li Rouyun.

"Is it because of her? What is she to you?" Li Li Rouyun's gaze also turned toward Jiang Jiang Qinge, after all Li Luo's palm was still gripping the latter's hand tightly.

"She is my fiancée," Li Luo said immediately.

Jiang Jiang Qinge glanced at him, a trace of a smile in her eyes.

"Fiancée?"

Li Li Rouyun was startled for a moment, then she sized up Jiang Jiang Qinge. A look of amazement surfaced in her eyes as she smiled and said, "Not bad eye for a little fellow." Then she stepped forward, her gaze fixed on Jiang Jiang Qinge's heart. After observing for several breaths, deep astonishment surfaced in her eyes: "A ninth-grade Bright Phase? Such talent, even in the Inner Shenzhou, would make her a pride of heaven."

A pride of heaven.

"Burning a ninth-grade Bright Heart... this little girl really doesn't hold back. It seems you ran into great trouble before. I really came too late." Li Li Rouyun's expression also grew solemn at this moment, and she said: "A ninth-grade Bright Heart is like a blazing sun. Once ignited, it will erupt with power beyond imagination, but this power comes at the cost of burning life force, and it is almost impossible to reverse."

Almost impossible to reverse.

"To pull her out of this state, let alone a titled marquis, even an ordinary king-level powerhouse couldn't do it."

"Unless a Heaven King-level powerhouse intervenes." Hearing Li Li Rouyun's words, Li Luo's face instantly turned pale, even his breathing grew sluggish. A Heaven King-level powerhouse... such a being, perhaps the entire Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou couldn't produce even one, and how could such a figure easily step in to help him?

Easily step in to help him?

"Our Li Li Tianwang lineage, that Li Li Tianwang—is he still around? Can he help me?" Li Luo suddenly thought of something and asked urgently.

Right now, the only one he could still be connected to a Heaven King-level powerhouse was probably that Li Li Tianwang.

Hearing Li Luo's words, Li Li Zhiqiu, who was not far away, gave a faint chuckle and said, "The ancestor has been guarding the Abyss for many years. He bears the heavy responsibility of humanity's survival—how could he have time to bother with the affairs of a mere junior like you?"

Li Li Rouyun also fell silent for a moment and said, "The ancestor hasn't returned to the clan in many years. We can't find him either, and your fiancée's condition can't wait that long."

Li Luo felt as if struck by lightning upon hearing this, his face turning even paler. His usual composure completely failed him; clearly his heart was at a total loss. …. Jiang Jiang Qinge, on the other hand, looked quite calm and composed—perhaps she had anticipated this outcome from the very start. Fortunately, after pondering for a while, Li Li Rouyun spoke again: "I can't solve her condition, but I can help temporarily slow down this burning state of her Bright Heart. Although it won't buy much time,"

"it will at least buy some time."

Li Luo's heart jolted, and he looked at Li Li Rouyun with great joy, saying excitedly, "More time means more chances. Please lend a hand, Aunt Yun. Li Luo will remember this great kindness!"

"We're family, no need for such words." Li Li Rouyun smiled faintly. Then a deep-blue light pearl appeared between her two fingers. The pearl was extremely wondrous, as if it contained an entire ocean within, and an exceptionally pure, powerful life force radiated from it.

Radiated from it.

The moment this item appeared, even Instructor Xi Chan turned her gaze, because she herself possessed the Water Phase, and this deep-blue light pearl also contained an extremely vast Water Phase energy. Clearly, this was a Water Phase treasure. "Heh, Li Li Rouyun, you really don't hold back. This Sea Heart Spirit Pearl—you just exchanged for it from the clan's vault, didn't you? I remember it was meant for your sickly little niece. And now you're just taking it out like this? Aren't you afraid your little niece will hold a grudge against you later?" At this moment, Li Li Zhiqiu said with a smile.

Li Li Zhiqiu said with a smile.

"Li Li Zhiqiu, you really talk too much nonsense," Li Li Rouyun frowned and said.

Then she looked at Li Luo, whose expression had grown a bit complicated, and said, "Don't overthink it. Your fiancée's situation is far more urgent and dangerous, and besides, your father Li Taixuan once helped me. Consider this me repaying a favor."

Li Luo nodded seriously. Right now Jiang Jiang Qinge's problem was the most important thing in his eyes. He would keep Li Li Rouyun's favor in his heart, and if there was a chance in the future, he would repay it.

Li Li Rouyun's gaze turned to Jiang Jiang Qinge again, and she asked with a gentle smile, "What's your name?"

"Jiang Jiang Qinge," Jiang Jiang Qinge said softly. Li Li Rouyun smiled and said, "Such a pure Bright Heart—even in all my years, this is the first I've seen. But the purer and clearer it is, once ignited, the harder it is to stop. My 'Sea Heart Spirit Pearl' is a wondrous treasure condensed from the essence of a sea domain, possessing powerful life force. I will plant it into your heart, using its life force as fuel to offset the drain on your own life force."

"Thank you, Aunt Yun, for saving me. Jiang Qinge is deeply grateful," Jiang Jiang Qinge said. She herself did not fear death, but if it could truly be avoided, then of course that was best—after all, she didn't want to see Li Luo fall into despair over this.

Li Li Rouyun waved her hand, raised her jade-like hand, and the "Sea Heart Spirit Pearl" in her palm emitted a gentle glow. The ocean within the pearl also stirred up waves.

Finally, the "Sea Heart Spirit Pearl" drifted out slowly, falling toward Jiang Jiang Qinge's heart. Upon touching her skin, it melted in like liquid, burrowing into that dazzling, radiant Bright Heart.

And as the "Sea Heart Spirit Pearl" entered, the light erupting from the Bright Heart seemed to grow even more dazzling and brilliant.

The glow of the "Sea Heart Spirit Pearl" also dimmed somewhat. "Oh? This 'Sea Heart Spirit Pearl' is being consumed faster than I imagined, and the power bursting from this Bright Heart... is also somewhat terrifying." Li Li Rouyun saw this and her slender brows knit slightly. At the same time, she felt it was strange. A ninth-grade Bright Heart was rare, but she had come from the Inner Shenzhou and was also from the Li Li Tianwang lineage—her knowledge and experience were naturally extraordinary. Yet Jiang Jiang Qinge's ninth-grade Bright Heart seemed to give her a somewhat peculiar feeling.

"Aunt Yun, is something wrong?" Li Luo had been watching all along and immediately asked hurriedly. Li Li Rouyun shook her head and said, "Her Bright Heart is burning too fiercely and vigorously. Next, I will use a secret technique to seal and suppress it somewhat, to slightly slow its ferocity. Otherwise, at this rate, I'm afraid"

"Aunt Yun, is something wrong?" Li Luo had been watching intently and immediately asked. Li Li Rouyun shook her head and said, "Her Light Heart is burning too fiercely and vigorously. Next, I will cast a Mi Fa to seal and suppress it somewhat, slightly slowing its ferocity; otherwise, at this rate, I fear..."

Li Luo's expression shifted slightly. Such a wondrous treasure had been used, yet it could only delay the burning state by ten days? The problem brought by Jiang Jiang Qinge's ignited Bright Heart seemed even more serious and troublesome than he had imagined.

"Then please go ahead, Aunt Yun," he said. Li Li Rouyun nodded, and then a pale-blue sword light rose from above her head. The sword light writhed and moved, transforming into a lifelike blue dragon shadow—except this dragon shadow radiated sharp sword Qi all over, making it impossible to look at directly.

"Then please, Aunt Yun, act." He said. Li Li Rouyun nodded, and then a pale blue sword light rose from above her head. The sword light wound and moved, actually transforming into a lifelike blue dragon shadow, except this dragon shadow emitted a sharp sword qi throughout its body, making one dare not...

The blue dragon shadow flicked its tail lightly, pierced through the void, and shot straight into Jiang Jiang Qinge's heart. The next moment, Li Luo saw that around Jiang Jiang Qinge's dazzling Bright Heart, a blue dragon shadow coiled and circled, as if forming a seal. Boundless sword light poured down, finally pressing the dazzling radiance of the Bright Heart down bit by bit. "This is the 'Water Dragon Sword Heart Lock.' It has sealing ability and can just suppress this burning Bright Heart somewhat. Combined with the effect of the 'Sea Heart Spirit Pearl,' her burning state should be delayed by about three months." After finishing, Li Li Rouyun let out a light breath and said to Li Luo.

"But three months from now, the burning Bright Heart will erupt again, and even more fiercely. If no solution is found by then..."

Li Luo was silent. In other words, Li Li Rouyun's intervention this time had bought Jiang Jiang Qinge three months.

Although it was like drinking poison to quench thirst, no matter how difficult it was, he would absolutely not give up any sliver of hope.

While Li Luo's heart was heavy, from the distant horizon came the sound of breaking air again, followed by streaks of flowing light descending from the sky. It was the academy and Yu Yu Hongxi who had finally arrived.
