Tragic death in the previous life: After rebirth, the sickly prince pampers her every night

Chapter 2779 Xiaoman (Don’t rush to eat)

Not long after, the sound of light footsteps was heard behind me.

Chu Ran had quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and regained his composure.

She took out a stack of glowing talismans from her storage ring, walked quickly to Chu Qingye, raised her hand and gently placed several of them on his body.

In an instant, those talismans disappeared into Chu Qingye's body.

The suffocating heat waves turned into cool breezes.

Chu Qingye was slightly startled and looked at Chu Ran.

Chu Ran raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle and understanding smile.

"Brother Qingye, I understand. Now is not the time to talk about this."

"We are still trapped in this fiery inferno."

"These talismans were given to me by a senior when I met him by chance in the Great Silver Mountain. They are called the Universal Talisman."

"This talisman is very magical. It can adjust itself according to the changes in the surrounding temperature. It is very useful."

"If Brother Qingye is really determined to enter this lava river to look for Hu Xiaoman, A'ran is willing to go in with you."

Chu Qingye nodded silently: "Thank you."

"In fact, you don't have to waste these precious talismans. I already have a magical weapon on me that is enough to protect me from harm in this fiery purgatory."

When Chu Ran heard this, a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, she had never known that Chu Qingye had a spiritual weapon that could withstand the terrifying high temperature of this fiery purgatory.

She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, as if her good intentions were unnecessary.

However, Chu Qingye had already turned around and continued walking forward.

Chu Ran looked at his back, secretly clenched his fists, and a barely perceptible gloom flashed in his eyes.

When Chu Qingye was about to reach the edge of the lava river, suddenly, he felt dizzy and his head seemed to be hit hard by a heavy hammer, and a sharp pain came over him.

His body shook uncontrollably for a few times, then his vision went dark and he fell straight backwards.

Chu Ran was quick to catch him.

She gently placed Chu Qingye's head on her shoulder, and gently stroked his face with her hand, her eyes full of affection and reluctance, and murmured to herself: "Brother Qingye, I'm sorry."

"I just can't bear to watch you die."

"I will take you out of this fiery purgatory. After we get out, we will be together forever and never separate again..."

Chu Ran believed that the terrifying dragon formed by flames would drag Hu Xiaoman into the bottom of the lava river. Even if Hu Xiaoman had supernatural powers, there would be no possibility of survival.

As for the Fire Kirin Qiyan, I am still too weak now.

Just wait a little longer until you grow strong enough.

She was determined to make a contract with Qiyan, making it her loyal divine beast and allowing her to command it at her will.

Thinking of this, Chu Ran carried Chu Qingye on his back with great effort, slowly stood up, and walked away from the lava river.

But before she took a few steps, the already turbulent lava river suddenly became even more violent.

The flames rose wildly and the waves surged like angry beasts.

Suddenly, a huge wave rose into the sky and transformed into a giant dragon with bared fangs and claws in the air. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Chu Ran and Chu Qingye.

Chu Ran widened his eyes in horror and let out a sharp scream.

Before she could react, she was sucked into the lava river by the powerful force and disappeared without a trace in an instant...

-

After an unknown amount of time, Hu Xiaoman slowly woke up.

She slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was an old man with white hair and a wrinkled face.

The old man was wearing a ragged cloth and his hair was messy like a chicken coop.

What's even more strange is that this person has no skin on his face, and is surging with bright yellow flames, as if the flames here have merged with the old man.

On the old man’s messy hair, there was a ball of yellow flame with facial features jumping around.

The flame had life and was chattering.

"Wow, this is incredible!"

"This woman actually has the rare nine spiritual roots!"

“Although her current cultivation speed is slow, the rarity of the Nine Spiritual Roots is beyond imagination.”

"I have lived in this world for tens of thousands of years, and I have never seen anyone with nine spiritual roots."

"I've finally found a treasure this time!"

As soon as these words came out, Huo Ling suddenly thought of something, and the excitement on his face collapsed. He shook his head and said, "It's a pity that such a talented waste entered here. What a pity."

The old man next to him heard this and showed a greedy smile on his face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Not a pity at all."

"I will dig out her spiritual roots one by one and use them for my own benefit."

"As long as I get these spiritual roots, I will be able to reshape my body and return to my prime."

Hu Xiaoman blinked, his eyes full of confusion.

How come she never knew that she possessed nine spiritual roots?

The sloppy master should have known long ago that she had nine spiritual roots.

Then why did he shamelessly beg her to accept her as his disciple?

On this continent, people with nine spiritual roots, although extremely rare, are also regarded as the worst in qualifications.

After all, cultivating nine spiritual roots at the same time is almost a fantasy, and the probability of success is very small.

In the world of immortal cultivation, once the number of spiritual roots exceeds three, the path to immortal cultivation becomes like a dangerous road full of thorns, with almost no possibility of success.

The old man in front of her was coveting the nine spiritual roots in her body, and wanted to improve his own cultivation by devouring them.

In pursuit of increasing their power, those evil monks often capture people who have many spiritual roots but are unable to focus on cultivation, and cruelly dig out their spiritual roots to boost their own cultivation.

Since the master knew that I had a long-term spiritual root, why didn’t he tell me?

When I return to Kunlun Palace, I must ask the sloppy master for clarification.

While he was thinking, the old man had already stood in front of Hu Xiaoman silently and slowly raised his hand. His palm was condensed from blazing flames, and five sharp claws were flashing with terrifying light, as if they could easily tear apart everything in the world.

A very strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was full of greed and ferocity. He grabbed Hu Xiaoman's dantian without hesitation.

At the critical moment of life and death, Hu Xiaoman shouted anxiously: "Grandpa, please wait a moment!"

"Don't be in a hurry to eat me. Even if I die, let me die clearly and clearly."

"I am very curious, how did you survive for such a long time in the scorching heat of the Fiery Purgatory?"

“You are amazing!”

"Besides, look at your body that was forged with flames. How majestic and domineering it is!"

"Tell me, how did you do it?"

"I dream of becoming as heroic as you."
