Chapter 136: It Is Already Too Late

136. Chapter 136: It Is Already Too Late

"The Spirit Herbs naturally exist within the Youming Prefecture, but why should we give them to you?"

Luo Yao's face changed instantly; she had thought Xiao Wan was saved, only to realize she had misjudged the person.

"Because only by giving it to me can I save Xiao Wan."

"But on what grounds should we believe you?"

Luo Yao hesitated for a second, then took out Xiao Wan's Jade Pendant.

The Ghost General's body trembled; he excitedly snatched the Jade Pendant into his hand before Luo Yao could even react.

"This is the Princess's Jade Pendant; how is it in your hands? What exactly have you done to the Princess?"

When he appeared low-key, Luo Yao had thought he was just an ordinary person.

And with him returned a man.

Then he looked at Gong Min, "Daoist Gong, we intend to borrow your precious grounds; once the matter is accomplished, there will surely be a heavy reward..."

Luo Yao interrupted her words, "Xiao Wan gave this to me, specifically to make you believe what I say."

Seeing the Ghost General, Xiao Wan showed a look of joy, then hurriedly helped him up.

"If anything happens to the Princess, I will absolutely not let you go..."

Gong Min, however, smiled bitterly, "This time is different; when the Princess's Yin Qi erupted, the best timing had already passed; by now, the Yin Qi has long eroded her entire body..."

Seeing the Ghost General's determination, she had to sigh, "Very well, I agree, but I hope you swear that you will never harm Xiao Wan in this lifetime."

Seeing Luo Yao leave with the Spirit Herb, Li the Guard immediately frowned, but Youming Fujun merely waved his hand.

Speaking thus, Luo Yao revealed the You Pearl in her hand; she knew this item meant nothing to Youming Fujun, but if she asked for nothing, he certainly would not believe her.

"Wuwuwu, Father King, I thought, I thought I would never see you again!"

Bang!

The Ghost General rushed to Xiao Wan's front and dropped to one knee on the ground with a thud.

"Good!"

"I want to see the Princess; after seeing the Princess, I will give you the thing you need."

Obviously, he also discovered the situation where the Yin Qi on Xiao Wan could not be suppressed and could only place his hope on the Spirit Herb.

The Ghost General swore without hesitation, "If I, Li Fei, harm the Princess, I shall never be reborn for all eternity."

"These are the Five Elements Yang-Yang Grass we cultivated; they are all only about one year old..."

Seeing that man, Xiao Wan immediately widened her eyes, then showed a look of joy and rushed over quickly.

The two entered the courtyard and saw Xiao Wan sitting on a stool watching Master Gong water the Spirit Herbs.

After Luo Yao explained repeatedly, the young Daoist boy ran back to report to Master Gong.

"Brother Li?"

Li the Guard naturally recognized Master Gong, so he confirmed with Master Gong.

"No, but I want the seeds of the Five Elements Yin-Yang Grass, and only then can I ask my sect for help."

"If nothing unexpected happens, by the time I return, there will be Five Elements Yin-Yang Grass suitable for alchemy."

"Father King!"

"Forgive me, Princess; your subordinate arrived late to protect you!"

A man of ordinary attire, yet whose face was imposing without anger.

When it was nearly late at night, Luo Yao saw Li the Guard return.

Afterwards, she gave Li the Guard a signal with her eyes, and Li the Guard received Luo Yao's telepathic message.

"That is unnecessary." Luo Yao shook her head. "Xiao Wan is my good friend; naturally, I will do my utmost, and Li the Guard has also given a reward."

"Xiao Wan can only last one day; after one day, then..."

Afterwards, Luo Yao brought him to Gong Min's home.

The Ghost General's eyes flickered; finally deciding to take a gamble, he said, "Very well, I will immediately send a telepathic message to have the Spirit Herb sent over."

The man held Xiao Wan, stroking her head, his worry in his eyes turning to joy.

Although he did not know what Luo Yao wanted the Spirit Herb for, he did not ask further; he only knew that if these could exchange for Xiao Wan's life, everything was worth it.

The Ghost General telepathically asked about the Spirit Herb again, "Do you have Five Elements Yin-Yang Grass of five thousand years?"

Speaking thus, Youming Fujun sighed; even his ancestors had exhausted their Immortal Power yet failed to cultivate it, which left him somewhat despairing.

Xiao Wan asked curiously, and Li the Guard hurriedly began to explain.

Luo Yao nodded, "I need Five Elements Yang-Yang Grass; even one year's worth will suffice."

She was stunned, then said, "Sister Xiao Luo, I said not to worry about me; I am fine."

Actually, at that time Luo Yao only wanted to use this Jade Pendant to find people from the Youming Prefecture; since Xiao Wan was unconscious, she could only take it without asking.

"If you do not want Xiao Wan to meet with disaster, give me the thing I want; if you do not believe, you can ask Master Gong."

Seeing this scene, Luo Yao immediately breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, she had gambled correctly, otherwise she would probably regret it for a lifetime.

Luo Yao nodded, "I will go and return shortly."

"Daoist Gong, if the Yin Qi on Xiao Wan erupts, can it be suppressed again?" Youming Fujun frowned and asked.

Seeing that man, Luo Yao was immediately shocked; the man before her was actually the legendary Youming Fujun?

Luo Yao sighed, "I want to try."

After the two chatted about old times, Luo Yao finally spoke, "Now that you have seen the person, can you give me the thing I want?"

"What thing does Sister Xiao Luo want?"

"Unless she truly finds Five Elements Yin-Yang Grass of over five thousand years, I can brew the Small Yin-Yang Pill; You Wan will not only solve the Yin Qi problem on her body but also take this opportunity to detach from the Ghost Body and become a true human."

"As soon as possible; Xiao Wan's time is running out."

Youming Fujun said no more, taking out the materials for refining the Little Yangyang Pill and several stalks of Five Elements Yangyang Grass.

Who knew...

The Ghost General's face lit up with joy; he rushed forward instantly. Luo Yao wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

"Fujun is joking," Gong Min shook his head. "I was saved by Fujun himself; such a small matter is not worth mentioning."

"No problem," Youming Fujun waved his large hand. "As long as it can save Xiao Wan, any request is acceptable; even if you ask for the Youming Prefecture, I will give it to you."

"Princess!"

"So, young friend, you have a way to dispel the Yin Qi from Xiao Wan?" Youming Fujun turned to look at Luo Yao, clearly caring deeply about this matter.

The young Daoist saw Luo Yao approaching with a Ghost General and his expression instantly changed.

It was just uncertain: once the Fierce Guard went berserk, could that alchemist Gong Min hold him off?

By then, perhaps the only option would be to take Xiao Wan and hide inside the space.

However, the fact that Youming Fujun could arrive so quickly from such a far distance clearly showed that Xiao Wan was even more important to him than imagined.

The Ghost General said nothing; after chatting with Gong Min for a while, he bid farewell to Xiao Wan and then hurriedly departed.

He did not finish speaking, but Youming Fujun knew his next words: it was already too late.

Luo Yao fell silent; she was weighing the situation. From the conversation just now, it was clear he was indeed loyal to Xiao Wan, but Luo Yao worried he might be pretending.

Youming Fujun naturally would not give up, nor did he want to place all hope on Luo Yao, so he waved for the Fierce Guard to leave and sought other methods.

After taking the Five Elements Yangyang Grass, Luo Yao quickly left Duanzui Cheng; there was no choice, for Youming Fujun's power was terrifying, and she feared she could not avoid the surveillance of Youming Fujun and the Youming Prefecture within the city.

Thus, she could only leave and go outside the city, find a safe place, then enter the Space Magic Treasure, planning to use her Golden Finger on the Five Elements Yangyang Grass.
