Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 2294: Chapter 2299: The Empress Descends

"So straightforward, to whom do you owe such gratitude, the Empress?"

"The Empress, partially."

"And the other part?"

Xia Liu continued to ask.

"The other part is for someone."

"Parents? Friends? Or your Dao Companion?"

Ling Feng fell silent again.

Because she did not want to talk about past events with others.

It was a dark period.

The honored master she revered had been using her to accomplish terrifying tasks all along.

If it weren’t for Xia Liu.

She would probably have lost her youthful appearance by now.

After her Yin Element was absorbed.

She would rapidly age, and then slowly die.

That process.

She didn’t want to imagine.

"Oh? So arrogant even in front of a Nascent Soul Stage expert?"

"You won’t kill me."

Ling Feng stated bluntly.

"Why are you so sure?"

Xia Liu suddenly turned around and advanced towards Ling Feng, step by step.

Stopping right in front of her at last.

"You know me, no one in the Central Continent knows me as Ling Feng except the Empress."

"Hehe, I happen to be acquainted with the Empress too. I heard from her that you possess some treasure, so I..."

"You!"

Ling Feng’s face turned deathly pale.

If the man in the black robe before her was after her Yin Element.

Then she would be completely ruined today!

As Ling Feng kept retreating, nearly falling, Xia Liu hurriedly reached out to stabilize her.

"Let me go! I would rather die than let you succeed!"

"Senior Sister Ling Feng, don’t be agitated! It’s me!"

If he didn’t reveal his identity soon, Ling Feng might do something foolish.

If he forced things, she might get injured at her core.

So Xia Liu quickly revealed his face.

Upon seeing the familiar handsome face again, Ling Feng’s tears fell instantly.

No heart, no matter how strong, could withstand such a surprise.

She had been cultivating so diligently, for the sake of this man before her.

Once he had risked offending the top families renowned throughout the Northern Realm for her.

Ling Feng only learned of all these things later.

Because the Empress had appeared too quickly.

When she left the Northern Realm, she hadn’t had time to see Xia Liu one last time.

She didn’t even know if he had survived that long crisis.

Seeing him again today, whom she had longed for so deeply.

Her heart was at peace.

"Ling Feng, long time no see, I’ve missed you."

"Yes, long time no see, it’s been seven or eight years..."

Ling Feng was so choked with emotion she could hardly speak.

Fortunately, Xia Liu didn’t expose her shortcomings.

In essence, she was a cultivator striving tirelessly.

But she was also a woman.

At moments like this, she would be moved.

Because Xia Liu was the motivation for her cultivation.

Yet, upon seeing Xia Liu again.

She realized she needed to strive even harder.

Otherwise, she couldn’t repay the debt.

"More or less, over the years, you’ve really changed a lot. You’re more charming and beautiful than before."

"Thank you, your change is the real big one. You’ve already..."

Ling Feng’s memories still lingered years ago, when Xia Liu was nothing more than a Golden Core Cultivator.

In a blink, he had become one of those standing at the pinnacle of the Cultivation Realm.

"Don’t think I’m so terrifying, I’m only at a Nascent Soul foundational level."

"Pfft! From Golden Core to Nascent Soul in a few years! That’s not just terrifying, that’s monstrous!"

Ling Feng felt like crying again.

She received the best resources granted by the Empress.

But over the years, she had only advanced her cultivation to the Golden Core stage.

Nacent Soul was still a distant goal.

Xia Liu’s progress was utterly astonishing.

"Uh, I was just lucky..."

Xia Liu chuckled naively, engaging in conversation with Ling Feng for quite a while.

Finally, Xia Liu handed a scroll to Ling Feng.

"Is this the reason you entered the Heavenly God Village?"

Xia Liu had come to the Heavenly God Village in search of someone.

When she heard this, Ling Feng was very hopeful.

But it turned out he wasn’t searching for her...

"Mm, she is someone I cannot fail in this or the next life."

"Let me have a look..."

Ling Feng smiled bitterly, carefully examining the figure on the scroll.

Finally, she shook her head.

"Is there not this person in the Jade Maiden Holy Sect?"

"No, there shouldn’t be."

"And these ones?"

With these words, Xia Liu continued to take out portraits one after another.

Looking at the seven or eight paintings before her, Ling Feng’s face twitched slightly.

"Are all of these people you must not fail in this or the next life?"

"Yes, indeed."

"Alright!"

Ling Feng didn’t say anything further, but her heart was in turmoil.

Nevertheless, she seriously studied the portraits.

Finally, she replied to Xia Liu: "They are not disciples within the Holy Sect."

Because every few years, the Empress would gather the disciples of the Holy Sect to test their strength and talents.

So Ling Feng was sure that the women in the portraits weren’t in the Holy Sect.

"Alright..."

Xia Liu sighed, but he didn’t feel dejected.

Because he was already mentally prepared.

"You’ve let me realize something."

"Oh? Senior Sister Ling Feng, please speak boldly."

"You’re quite the philanderer!"

...

"Is that so? Haha..."

Xia Liu smiled bitterly. The bitterness and exhaustion within, along with the longing and heartache, how many could truly understand...

"But I also understand that they all genuinely and sincerely follow you, just like..."

Ling Feng didn’t finish her sentence.

If she had Nascent Soul Cultivation now.

She would certainly have the courage to voice it loudly.

But she didn’t.

Currently, she was still very weak.

"Thank you for your understanding. If you see them in the future, I hope you can tell them I’m looking for them to come home."

"Mm, if I meet them, I’ll definitely bring them back to find you."

"Right, I remember you mentioned that you’re not a Sect Protection Elder. So, if the Empress discovers what you’re doing, what will happen?"

The previous hardships, Xia Liu barely survived with his life.

But the Empress stood at the pinnacle of the Cultivation Realm.

In the realm, there were probably no more than five cultivators stronger than her.

Given Xia Liu’s current actions, if the Empress found out.

She might want his life!

"It should be fine. I didn’t steal or rob, I entered here using my abilities."

"Is that so? Then can you also leave using your abilities?"

Just as Ling Feng was about to speak.

Suddenly, a peal of thunder descended from the Nine Heavens.

A majestic pressure shook the heavens and earth.

Even Xia Liu.

Was rendered immobile under this pressure.

The peak expert of the Cultivation Realm! The Empress, at Spirit Transformation Perfection!

Buzz... Buzz...

Melodic notes from the ancients spread throughout.

In the sky above, auspicious clouds formed.

A pristine, flawless white lotus broke through the clouds, descending to astonish the world.

"The White Lotus Incarnation, it’s the Empress!"

Upon seeing the Empress’s incarnation, Ling Feng’s face turned completely white.

Xia Liu was in big trouble!

Xia Liu, however, remained silent.

Besides gritting his teeth to resist the Empress’s pressure.

He showed no other emotions.

"Xia Liu, you trespassed into my sect and destroyed the prodigies of my sect, causing a huge disturbance on the outskirts of the Heavenly God Village. You truly have some nerve!"

The Empress’s thundering voice echoed once more.

A powerful divine sense directly struck Xia Liu.

Attempting to force him to his knees!

Xia Liu’s expression grew even more grim.

But he didn’t concede, didn’t submit...
