Free Web NovelChapter 1668: Chapter 165: Lee Ling and Bai Ying
The Void Gate flickered with an extremely eerie sheen, and there was absolutely nothing visible in its depths, looking somewhat spine-chilling. Yet, Lee Ran didn’t care at all, taking a step directly into this Void Land.
Soon, Lee Ran entered the Void Gate.
Lee Ran found himself in a vast Void of the Soul Sea.
At this time, Jiang Lei Yuan’s figure also appeared in the Void.
However, because he combined with the planet’s will, Jiang Lei Yuan was naturally incredibly powerful, comparable to the Sovereign of Sword Burial Ancestor Star.
But Jiang Lei Yuan wasn’t arrogant in the slightest; instead, his tone carried a sense of respect: "Lord Lee Ran."
"Jiang Lei Yuan, I assume you know why I’m here. In the future, if my brother comes here, please take good care of him."
Lee Ran said.
"Lord’s brother has actually contributed greatly to the Jiang family. If he comes here, I will naturally take care of him. However... I still hope he doesn’t come here. After all, you know, Lord, the Thunder Tribulation Land ahead is due to the starry sky’s changes, causing turbulence to flow in. Now, after the Nine Origin Reincarnation, changes have arisen, and the Void Thunder Tribulation can already kill gods."
"I know, but there will naturally be ways to change it. You don’t need to worry about that. Listen carefully; I’m going to tell you a few things."
Lee Ran pondered for a moment and then explained some potential future events.
Jiang Lei Yuan didn’t dare to be careless, instantly listening attentively.
Lee Ran revealed some possibilities and related matters, then left two strands of his soul liquid, saying: "I’m leaving these two strands of soul liquid, tempering them in Thunderflame. After some time, these two strands will definitely become extraordinarily powerful. Then, you give them to him to refine and absorb."
"Of course, everything I’ve done, you may weigh whether or not to tell the Lee family. It doesn’t matter if you do, but it’s better if you don’t."
Lee Ran said nonchalantly.
Jiang Lei Yuan simply replied: "Don’t worry, Lord. This is just a brother caring for his brother. The Jiang family isn’t unreasonable; the young lady has already descended into the Soul Burying Starfield to accompany your brother because of this matter. Discussing this with the Jiang family is meaningless. Although I am just a steward, I can discern right from wrong and am not an ignorant person."
Jiang Lei Yuan said with conviction.
Lee Ran nodded, saying: "You’re indeed not bad, only that the years of refining the planet’s will will be tough for you."
Lee Ran’s words were filled with gratitude and concern, thus caring about Jiang Lei Yuan for a moment.
Jiang Lei Yuan smiled lightly with indifference, saying: "I was saved by the Jiang Family Ancestor from the Endless Calamities as an orphan, cultivated meticulously by the Jiang family; what does this bit of hardship count for? As long as I can repay the Jiang family, to have no regrets is satisfaction enough. Lord Lee Ran, the tasks you have entrusted to Jiang Lei Yuan will be completed well, and you will not be disappointed."
Jiang Lei Yuan spoke with conviction.
Lee Ran took a deep look at Jiang Lei Yuan, only then realizing that Jiang Lei Yuan was also a person of great courage and ability.
"Well, then, thank you."
"No need for thanks, my lord."
...
After finishing his arrangements, Lee Ran turned and left this place, once again passing through Thunder Tribulation Land.
However, this time, as he was about to approach the Thunder Tribulation area, he suddenly discovered extremely violent lightning erupting there.
It seemed as though some life form had invaded Thunderflame Land.
Lee Ran’s heart tightened, and he quickly used the methods taught by Zhou Yan to shield the Heavenly Mechanism, while wrapping himself with a Heavenly Dao Soul Stone. Transforming into a soul energy particle, he flew into the Thunder Tribulation.
Soon, Lee Ran noticed a purple-clad young man appearing amidst the Void Thunder Tribulation.
The purple-clad young man was extremely handsome, while on the other side was a white-robed nine-tailed woman.
"Fu Xi? Emperor?"
Seeing the abundance of Eight Diagrams Runes on the purple-clad man’s body, and the Eight Diagrams Totem manifesting in his eyes, almost instinctively, Lee Ran thought of part of the situation Zhou Yan had informed him about, causing his heart to immediately tense.
However, he didn’t show any emotional fluctuations nor manifest any abnormal characteristics, thus he wasn’t discovered by them.
"’He’ said that we need the Life Heart of the Jade Fox Clan to nurture a different kind of existence. Cooperation is welcome, but if not... apologies."
At this moment, the Emperor spoke calmly.
The nine-tailed demon fox woman sneered and said, "Hypocrite! Go ahead, I would rather shatter, than be whole!"
The Emperor said nothing, but a terrifying Eight Diagrams light suddenly shot out from his eyes.
Simultaneously, the Eight Array Map slaughtered forward, instantly invoking endless Thunder Tribulations, killing toward the woman.
The woman released strands of purple soul energy, her soul energy like numerous foxes, a torrent of thousands of fox soul power roaring, all charging toward the Eight Array Map.
In an instant, a sense of world darkness and pervasive battle intent spread in all directions.
Yet, in this kind of battle, Lee Ran’s abilities were simply inadequate to understand.
After a long time, or perhaps merely a moment, the woman’s soul body shattered, her Life Heart was seized, transformed into a residual soul, and entered the white corpse.
The corpse was not entirely dead, yet it had lost its cultivation completely, appearing extremely miserable.
At that moment, the Emperor moved, about to strike down the white-robed woman.
But from the Emperor’s figure suddenly emerged a white-clad young man, directly blocking the Emperor’s killing intent.
"Emperor, spare her life."
"Lee Ling, are you trying to act virtuously again?"
"I am your heart; why not face it? Give her to me, I’ll turn her into my servant, let her live freely."
"You—sigh."
The Emperor was silent for a moment, then withdrew his killing intent.
Moments later, the white-clad young man disappeared.
The Emperor was no longer the purple-clad emperor but the white-clad Lee Ling.
Lee Ling walked over, gently picking up the woman who had turned into a little fox, then began infusing strands of energy into her.
The small white fox’s tail had already transformed from nine tails into one, and the tail was covered in copious blood, appearing extremely miserable.
Yet under Lee Ling’s energy, the white fox’s injuries began to heal.
The white fox quickly awakened, her nimble yet bewildered eyes quietly watching Lee Ling, her demeanor seemingly very innocent.
"From now on, follow me. I hereby give you a new name — Bai Ying, pure and white. Bai Ying, follow me, I will protect you well and let you be an adorable, innocent little white fox."
Lee Ling’s tone was extremely gentle.
Perhaps due to guilt, his tone was even suffused with a sense of warm nurturing.
Despite the white fox’s instinct to reject Lee Ling, the warmth from Lee Ling made the ’newborn’ white fox seem to feel familial warmth, gradually beginning to curl up in Lee Ling’s embrace, and quietly fall asleep.
To the current white fox, Lee Ling’s embrace, Lee Ling himself, was the first existence she saw upon rebirth. To the Jade Fox Clan members, the first person seen is equivalent to a parental presence, so even though there was instinctual rejection, the white fox soon gradually accepted this reality.
