Chapter 181: Fruits of Labor
Li Daoyuan looked at Li Ran silently.
First, he had courted the chief of the Myriad Sword Pavilion, then provoked the Holy Maiden of the Joyous Unity Sect, and even messed with the Flood Dragon Princess.
Now, he was actually saying that he was displeased with the Human Emperor?
“I feel like I’m going to fall into this kid’s hands…”
He began to seriously think about whether or not he should sever his relationship with Li Ran.
Li Ran saw through his worry and patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Li Daoyuan shook his head. “You’re the biggest surprise.”
“???” Li Ran scratched his head. “You’re saying this as if I’m not your biological child.”
Li Daoyuan’s face was solemn. “If necessary, do not be my biological child. I am ready to draw a clear line with you at any time.”
Li Ran was speechless. “???”
Seeing his back as he walked into the mansion, Li Daoyuan sighed.
“This kid’s talent is peerless, his comprehension ability is excellent, and his starting point is countless times higher than others!
“As long as he has time, he’ll definitely become a mighty figure that can suppress the world!
“But based on his infatuation and ability to cause trouble, this old man is truly worried that he won’t be able to live until then!
“But it’s alright. My Li family has the clan Emperor in charge. Even Sheng Ye has to consider it!” Li Daoyuan comforted himself.
Little did he know that Li Wuqiang was already considering whether to run…
At this moment, the servant at the door walked over. “Master, the signboard has been hung.”
Mn
Li Daoyuan nodded. “Very good. Let’s go take it off.”
“Ah?” The servants were all stunned.
Li Daoyuan indifferently said, “Remove the plaque and hang it at the back door.”
After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.
Only a few servants looked at each other.
In the room, Li Ran began to count the gains from this trip to the Imperial Palace.
Green Profound Armor, Soul Descent Bell, Demon-Breaking Divine Bow, Yin Yang Mirror, Water Moon Vermilion Ribbon…
The divine lights reflected each other, and the intense spirit energy filled the entire room.
These were high-grade spirit treasures that were rarely seen. They could be stored in the body like the Yun Ling Spear, and would increase with the user’s strength.
It was also the best stock in the first level of the Sheng Clan treasury.
No wonder Sheng Ye was in pain.
The Sheng Clan’s treasury had a total of two levels. The first level was filled with various spirit treasures and immortal materials, and the second level was filled with cultivation techniques and divine abilities.
As for the third floor, it was the most mysterious. It was said to be a secret room with one in ten thousand treasures.
Li Ran rubbed his chin. “The Sheng Clan’s foundation is still very rich after suppressing the kingdom for thousands of years. I really want to take that treasure trove away!”
However, it was definitely not realistic at the current stage. At the very least, he would have to undergo the tribulation or become an Emperor to try.
Just the two black-armored guards in front of him gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
Moreover, there was a mysterious old man inside…
Li Ran shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. He turned his attention back to the spirit treasure.
The greatest harvest this time was still Devil Sword Gu Xie.
With a shake of his wrist, a pitch-black sword appeared out of thin air. A cold killing intent filled the entire space.
This sword was extremely heavy. Even though the heavy sword had no edge, it was still as sharp as steel.
Blood flowed on the blade, and he could feel its intense desire for blood.
“It is indeed a bit evil. No wonder Yi Qinglan called it a devil sword.”
This sword had a bloodthirsty power. Once it struck an enemy, it would be able to absorb blood. The more it absorbed, the more powerful it would be, and the purer its killing intent would be.
Coupled with the awakening of his bloodline, Li Ran’s combat strength increased exponentially.
“Good stuff!” The more he watched, the more satisfied he became.
At this time, footsteps sounded from outside the door.
Li Ran put away Gu Xie and his terrifying killing intent instantly dissipated.
Xiao Qingge pushed the door open and skipped in.
After seeing him, her eyes lit up. “Li Ran, you’re back!”
She excitedly threw herself into Li Ran’s embrace.
Li Ran rubbed her head. “What good thing happened? Why are you so happy?”
Xiao Qingge wrinkled her nose and said proudly, “Hehe, you should ask Chief Yue about this.”
“Hmph, it’s not like you won. What’s there to be proud of?” Yue Jianli walked in, his face filled with displeasure.
Xiao Qingge smiled and said, “Right now, I’ve been able to hold on for an hour. I’ve already passed several hundred moves!”
She raised her pink fist and said with an imposing tone, “Victory over Yue Jianli is just around the corner!”
“Tch, dream on.” Yue Jianli rolled her eyes at her, then squeezed into Li Ran’s embrace.
It had to be said that Xiao Qingge’s progress was indeed very fast.
A few days ago, she was only at the early Golden Core Realm, and she couldn’t even take three moves from Yue Jianli.
By now, she could take a few hundred moves.
This was due to the powerful power of the Jade Maiden Rakshasa Technique and her cheating ‘training’ method.
However, Li Ran was clear in his heart.
The Myriad Sword Pavilion was on the path of attack, and their killing intent was the strongest in the Righteous Path.
If the two of them really wanted to fight to the death, with Xiao Qingge’s current strength, she probably wouldn’t even be able to hold out for half an incense stick’s worth of time.
As for the Jade Maiden Rakshasa Technique, it was powerful enough to kill demons and devils. When facing demons and demon beasts, its power increased exponentially.
The two of them had their own strengths.
The two of them were fighting each other.
Although they had fought for a few nights and the relationship between the two had somewhat eased, neither of them could accept the other.
At this moment, Yue Jianli sensed something.
She raised her head to look at the table and was stunned.
She saw a dazzling array of spirit treasures and immortal materials placed on a table, and they were emitting dazzling divine light.
Hiss!
They were all high-grade spirit treasures and top-grade immortal materials! It’s rare to see even in sects.
Xiao Qingge also noticed, and her eyes were a bit wide open.
“Li Ran, did you enter the palace and robbed it?”
Li Ran smiled and said, “Sheng Ye took the initiative to make me laugh. I definitely can’t be polite with him!”
With a thought, two spirit treasures flew over.
“The Water Moon Vermilion Ribbon is strong and gentle, and it has a sacred aura. It matches Qingge’s cultivation method very well. I’ll give you this spirit treasure.
“And this Demon-Breaking Divine Bow is for Jianli. Although the Myriad Sword Pavillion’s divine ability is strong, its ability to fight from afar is slightly lacking. This divine bow could make up for this deficiency and greatly increase your combat strength.” As he spoke, he placed the spirit treasures into their hands.
He had specially asked Yi Qinglan to choose this so that he could raise the strength of the two girls. Only then would he be able to safely return to the sect.
Seeing Li Ran’s serious expression, the two women’s eyes rippled with clear ripples.
This was the feeling of being cared about.
Xiao Qingge said softly, “Li Ran, you’re really good to me.”
Yue Jianli rubbed her eyes. “Thank you, husband. I like this bow very much.”
Li Ran pinched their cheeks. “Alright, don’t be pretentious. Isn’t my stuff yours?”’
“Yes…”
The two women looked at each other, and Yue Jianli nodded slightly. Then, Xiao Qingge waved her right hand.
The door and windows were closed by the breeze, and the candles in the room were blown out.
Li Ran was stunned. “What are you doing?”
Xiao Qingge’s eyes were filled with shyness. “Cultivation!”
