Chapter 1141: Chapter 226: Ten Thousand Years of Power, Another Breakthrough (Third Update)

In the Mountain Charm Clan’s territory, Yin Chen stood on the balcony outside the room, having finished listening to Hou’s account.

At this moment, Hou was lounging in a hammock made from vines on a large tree next to the balcony, lazily sunbathing under the shade.

Yin Chen turned his gaze towards him and asked, "The Empress is ill, and yet you don’t seem worried at all."

Hou half-opened one eye to look at Yin Chen before closing it again, replying, "I just believe in Qingge."

A simple sentence made Yin Chen’s blood-red eyes narrow and his lips press together slightly.

It’s not that he’s not worried, nor is he detached, but regardless of anything else, just the phrase "believe in Mu Qingge" dispels all concerns. Because Hou believes Mu Qingge will save Yin Le and cure her illness, he has no need to worry.

Yin Chen slowly shifted his gaze to the scenery ahead.

However, what entered his blood-red eyes wasn’t a beautiful landscape, but every memory since he met Mu Qingge.

As a member of the Fox Clan with a Nine Revolutions Exquisite Heart, he wasn’t as straightforward and simple as Hou. He preferred to think about things in a complicated way most of the time, but today’s words from Hou woke him up like a thunderbolt.

There are so many of them willing to follow Mu Qingge, to surround her, simply because of trust.

And Mu Qingge has proved this trust with every action she’s taken. She doesn’t need to say anything inspiring because her very existence is encouraging.

Yin Chen knew well what challenges Mu Qingge would face next. But, precisely because he knew, he felt he must stay by Mu Qingge’s side.

He is her Contracted Beast, so her safety is his to protect!

Yin Chen’s pointed fox ears twitched slightly, and he slowly turned his neck to look at the newcomer.

It was Yin Jue!

He arrived with hands behind his back, his tall figure casting a long shadow under the sunlight.

Yin Jue came alone, without anyone accompanying him.

Yin Chen slightly shifted his body, his blood-red eyes calmly observing him. Hou also jumped down from the hammock and walked to Yin Chen’s side.

"Qingge is practicing Alchemy and cannot come out to greet the Prince, I beg the Prince’s forgiveness," Yin Chen said.

Yin Jue nodded faintly, not minding at all. His dark green eyes glanced at Yin Chen and Hou before he waved his hand, leaving three fist-sized dark green fruits on the table in front of them.

The fruits looked very peculiar, neither like flowers nor fruits, with skin that seemed like layers of scales or petals.

Yin Chen and Hou simultaneously looked at those three fruits.

Yin Jue spoke, "These are Charm Fruits, refined with Divine Power."

Hou blinked, silently thought, ’Just as the girl said, they’ve come voluntarily.’

As soon as Yin Jue finished speaking, Mu Qingge emerged from the room. She held an Elixir Bottle in her hand, "Fortunately, I was successful. Here is the Life Soul Unification Pill; the Prince can take it back and give it to the Empress. It could take as long as half a year or as short as a month, and the Empress will wake up and completely recover."

"Life Soul Unification Pill! You’re indeed the disciple of the Dan God, able to craft even his self-created Elixir," Yin Jue joyfully took the Elixir Bottle from Mu Qingge.

"The Prince knows the Life Soul Unification Pill?" Mu Qingge asked in return.

Yin Jue nodded, "I’ve searched among the Supreme Alchemists in the Four Seas Divine Land. Although they couldn’t cure Yin Le, they provided me with useful information. For instance, she suffers from Soul Destruction Syndrome, and they told me the Dan God had once encountered such a patient and created an Elixir called Life Soul Unification Pill, saving them. I even sought that person out and verified it personally."

His words were simple.

But those who hear them can feel the pains he has taken over ten thousand years to treat Yin Le’s illness.

Mu Qingge nodded, "Since you know the Life Soul Unification Pill, you should understand Soul Destruction Syndrome constantly wears away at the Divine Soul, while the Life Soul Unification Pill allows it to grow and heal past injuries, nourishing the Divine Soul before it’s extinguished. Soul Destruction Syndrome can’t be cured, but after taking the Life Soul Unification Pill, the Divine Soul keeps repairing itself, thus cutting the root. Fortunately, it’s timely; if delayed further, even the Life Soul Unification Pill would be helpless, considered a saving grace for the Empress."

"Good! I’ll take it back immediately for Yin Le to consume," Yin Jue said eagerly, as if worried further delay would render the Elixir useless.

Mu Qingge nodded.

Yin Jue hurriedly left.

Once he was gone, Mu Qingge’s gaze fell on those three Charm Fruits.

She smiled faintly, "As expected, they’ve arrived." With that, she stepped forward and took one, saying to Yin Chen and Hou, "The remaining two, you can divide them."

"I don’t need it; you take this one too," Hou directly pushed his towards Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge frowned, pursing her lips to look at him.

Hou grinned and said, "Don’t think I’m a fool. When you and the Great Demon King caught me, I sensed his cultivation was damaged, causing the old illness to resurface. When you heard about these Charm Fruits, your eyes lit up not for yourself but for him."

"..." Mu Qingge was silent, neither denying nor confirming.

Hou said, "Take it. I’ve lived so long; whether a thousand years of power more or less makes no difference. If you feel guilty, then craft a Supreme Pill for me, restore my cultivation to the peak before taking severe hits twice, and when you go for revenge, I can lend a hand."

"Thank you." Mu Qingge didn’t continue to decline and took Hou’s Charm Fruit into her hand.

Looking at the two, she said, "I’ll go to refine the Charm Fruit, then we’ll leave the Demon Forest."

The journey in the Demon Forest has yielded significant rewards, and it’s time to return to the Four Seas Divine Land to see its current state.

"I’ll refine mine too," Yin Chen said.

With that said, the two returned to their rooms to prepare for refining the Charm Fruit.

"Go on, go on, I’ll protect you," Hou waved his hand to the two.

Yin Chen looked at Mu Qingge and asked, "Are we refining in space?"

Mu Qingge nodded, "A thousand years of power is formidable, likely causing a huge disturbance. We’ll refine after entering space."

"Okay." Yin Chen nodded.

Mu Qingge turned her gaze to Hou and said, "We’ll refine in space, so you don’t need to stay here. When we come out, we’ll be leaving. If you feel reluctant, go spend time with Yin Le."

With those words, her and Yin Chen’s figures disappeared.

Once they were gone, Hou was stunned, and then stomped his foot shouting, "Who’s reluctant! Not me, anyway!"

...

Inside the space, Mu Qingge directly returned to her palace.

She sat cross-legged in the practice room, in front of her was the dark green Charm Fruit. She chose not to refine in the Cultivation Tower; a thousand years of power is already potent, and combined with the tower’s effects, she might be unable to withstand it and explode.
