Chapter 868: Xi'er!
868 Chapter 868: Xi’er!
Tang Li Xue almost wanted to use the [Nether Rafflesia Flower’s Crystal Core] on the [Star Cluster Ginseng] directly on the spot.
But she quickly suppressed the reckless urge and carefully stored both [Nether Rafflesia Flower’s Crystal Core] and [Star Cluster Ginseng] in her space pouch first for now.
Tang Li Xue and her team had fought so fiercely against the [Nether Rafflesia Flower], and they had not completely recovered from their exhaustion yet.
No one could tell if the [Star Cluster Ginseng] would become another [Nether Rafflesia Flower] or [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] after she used [Nether Rafflesia Flower’s Crystal Core] to add tens of thousands of years of maturity to [Star Cluster Ginseng] later.
‘The risk is really too high, so it would be best to just play safe…’ Tang Li Xue thought as she decided to wait for the right time and place before she used the [Nether Rafflesia Flower’s Crystal Core] on the [Star Cluster Ginseng].
Tang Li Xue chose not to go back to sleep and silently guarded the sleeping Yaya, Little Loki, and Lucia instead.
She also realized that she had already slept for a few hours after Lucia brought her and the others out from the collapsed cave.
Then she immediately fell asleep in great exhaustion because she had squeezed all of her energy to use her all-out power to throw the golden [Ocean God Trident] twice.
Yaya, Little Loki, and Lucia were fast asleep for a few more hours than Tang Li Xue before they slowly woke up one by one.
There was nothing for them to do in the pill and elixir room anymore, so Tang Li Xue led Yaya, Little Loki, and Lucia out of the pill and elixir room and went back to the front hall together.
Xi’er’s eyes brightened when she saw Tang Li Xue and her group again, and she quickly greeted all of them cheerfully: “Hello, everyone~! Did everything go smoothly? Did you all succeed in getting what you were looking for?”
Tang Li Xue nodded at Xi’er with a delightful smile on her stunningly beautiful face and replied: “Not bad, our harvests are really satisfying. We managed to get many good things!”
“Oh, really? Congratulations!” Xi’er happily congratulated Tang Li Xue.
The lonely Xi’er instantly turned into a chatterbox and asked this and that to Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue did not feel annoyed at all as she understood Xi’er’s feelings completely.
After all, Tang Li Xue was also the same as Xi’er in her previous life. She was also trapped alone in the hospital bed for almost as long as she could remember.
When her brother came to visit her, she would also turn into a chatterbox and ask so many things from her brother just like the current Xi’er to relieve her loneliness.
Tang Li Xue narrated everything that happened to her and her team in the armory and elixir room before.
Tang Li Xue and Xi’er happily chatted and joked with each other for more than an hour.
Then Tang Li Xue fell silent for a few moments before she muttered softly in a sorrowful tone: “I am really sorry, Xi’er… But this is the time for us to go.”
The cheerful Xi’er sullenly lowered her head in great sorrow.
She might want to cry sadly at this moment, but there were no tears coming out from her eyes since she was just the spirit of the guardian statue after all, not the real living creature.
However, it was clearly impossible for Tang Li Xue and her group to live here forever just to accompany Xi’er.
But Tang Li Xue was still feeling very sorry if she must leave Xi’er here alone again.
Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth and decided to ask Xi’er: “Xi’er, do you have a way so you can get out of here? If so, would you like to join our team and get out of this place together?”
The sullen Xi’er raised her head again and stared at Tang Li Xue with a pair of eyes filled with astonishment mixed with hope.
“Ah?! Wha… What did you just say? You… You really want me to join your team?! Re… Really? I didn’t hear it wrong, right?” Xi’er asked in a tone filled with disbelief.
Tang Li Xue smiled kindly at Xi’er and nodded her head.
An innocent delightful smile bloomed on Xi’er’s face. She opened her mouth several times, but no words came out because she did not know what to say to Tang Li Xue.
In the end, Xi’er could only nod at Tang Li Xue with a resolute expression on her face and said: “Thank you very much.”
Xi’er decided to not say so many meaningless things since she would show her gratitude with her actions in the future.
Tang Li Xue laughed while saying: “All right, you do not need to be so serious. So, you really have a way to get out of this palace?”
But Xi’er shook her head instead which made Tang Li Xue very confused.
Before Tang Li Xue could ask, Xi’er already quickly explained to her: “As the guardian of this palace, I cannot get out of this place. It means I will never be able to get out of this palace as long as I use this guardian statue as my vessel.”
“If I can separate my spirit and consciousness from this statue and possess the other treasure as my new vessel, then I will be able to get out of here.” Xi’er concluded her explanation.
Xi’er hesitated for a few moments before she added: “But ordinary treasures are not strong enough to be my new vessel, so it has to be a powerful treasure that surpasses spirit treasure level… and my strength will be greatly reduced for a very long time if I abandon my current vessel and transfer to a new vessel.”
Xi’er was really afraid that Tang Li Xue would change her mind after Tang Li Xue heard that her strength would be greatly reduced after she transferred to a new vessel.
Xi’er did not even dare to stare at Tang Li Xue at this time.
However, Tang Li Xue did not even care about that right now.
Tang Li Xue was currently pinching her chin and pondering carefully about what kind of treasure she would use as Xi’er’s new vessel.
To be honest, she did not have many powerful treasures that surpassed the spirit treasure level at this moment.
Eventually, Tang Li Xue took the pitch-black [Sword of Disaster] and golden [Ocean God Trident] from her space pouch, then she decided to let Xi’er choose by herself.
“I only have these two weapons which might surpass the spirit treasure level. Which one do you want to use as your future vessel?” Tang Li Xue asked Xi’er.
“I…” Xi’er felt really touched by Tang Li Xue’s move, and she really wanted to cry because of it.
The treasures that surpassed the spirit treasure level were undoubtedly priceless, but Tang Li Xue let her choose without any doubt just like that!
Xi’er secretly vowed in her heart that she would devote her life to Tang Li Xue from now on and work diligently like a cow and horse for Tang Li Xue.
Xi’er took a look at the pitch-black [Sword of Disaster] and golden [Ocean God Trident], then examined them carefully for a few minutes.
“Both of them are really good, but I can surely help you more if I use that black sword as my new vessel.” Xi’er told her opinion to Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in surprise.
She did not expect that Xi’er would choose such an ominous treasure like the [Sword of Disaster] as her new vessel.
Honestly, Tang Li Xue did not really agree with Xi’er’s opinion to use [Sword of Disaster] as her new vessel.
It was because Tang Li Xue had long been prepared to let Little Loki swallow the [Sword of Disaster] anytime if someday anyone from the Undead Race knew that this [Sword of Disaster] was actually their [Key of Undead’s Glory].
So, Tang Li Xue decided to ask more clearly to Xi’er: “Oh? Can you explain to me why do you think so?”
11:27
But Tang Li Xue was truly curious about the reason why Xi’er said that she could surely help her more if she used that black sword as her new vessel.
So, Tang Li Xue decided to ask more clearly to Xi’er: “Oh? Can you explain to me why do you think so?”
Xi’er smiled politely at Tang Li Xue and said: “I can faintly sense death and darkness energy emitting from this black sword, so I guess this black sword should not be used for fighting head-on frontally.”
“According to the power contained in this black sword, it should be used to control corpses or undead creatures to fight against enemies.”
“It should not be easy for you to fight while using this sword to control the corpses or undead creatures, but it would be a different story if this sword became my new vessel.”
“You can just focus on fighting the enemies and just leave the matters about controlling the corpses or undead creatures to me.” Xi’er concluded her explanation and left the decision to Tang Li Xue.
Actually, it was also not a problem if Xi’er used the golden [Ocean God Trident] as her new vessel. It was just her capability would be wasted, and her usefulness would not be as big as using [Sword of Disaster] as her vessel.
The golden [Ocean God Trident] was definitely an extremely powerful treasure, but its utilization was straightforward for frontal head-on battle without leaving Xi’er any chance to interfere much.
But if she used pitch-black [Sword of Disaster] as her new vessel, not only she could help Tang Li Xue to control the corpse legion in the battle, but she could even help Tang Li Xue to look after the growth of all the corpses that were stored inside it.
Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes shone much brighter as the smile on her stunningly beautiful face became even more dazzling than before.
“What a great idea~!” Tang Li Xue clapped her hands and exclaimed in an excited tone.
Tang Li Xue actually got two new companions in one go~! (>w<) So, Xi’er could be counted as the ‘necromancer’ in their team now?
