Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 146

Achieving the Nascent Soul stage was the right path. Even with a powerful peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator, it couldnt compare to defeating opponents as a Nascent Soul cultivator. It was better to prevail over the strong with strength rather than relying on being slightly stronger at the Nascent Soul stage. Dont forget about the Sunflower Water Pearls and the spiritual items, the mermaid reminded him before he left.

She did not intend to return to her word, and Li Su wouldnt forget her generosity. He promptly selected half of the Sunflower Water Pearls and proceeded to the location filled with spiritual plants, harvesting all the fruits from the plants. Some of these spiritual plants were unique, unlike spiritual herbs that withered once picked; some were fruit-bearing, and others needed to be uprooted entirely.

Li Su only picked the fruits for the fruit-bearing ones, leaving the main plants intact. Since Li Su was unfamiliar with underwater spiritual plants, he took half of each variety to be safe. With everything sorted, Li Su removed the protective formation around Liu Xinyue. She was still unconscious.

Li Su gently picked up Liu Xinyue, preparing to leave. Whats your name? She asked.

Li Su, He replied.

Im giving you this conch shell. If you ever need to find me, blow into it. If it makes a sound, that means Im looking for you. Youve helped me, and if you ever need assistance, I can lend a hand, the mermaid said as she handed him a conch shell.

As Li Su prepared to leave, the mermaid handed him a white conch shell after asking for his name. Li Su accepted it and said, Goodbye.

Then, he carried Liu Xinyue and departed. After Li Sus figure disappeared, the mermaids gaze lingered before she sealed the grand formation. In just ten days or so, Li Su had left a deep impression on her. She needed to focus on restoring her cultivation and then investigate the current situation in the ocean. Her strength was not at the Nascent Souls initial stage. Otherwise, she wouldnt have been forced to remain trapped within the restrictions for a thousand years and eventually meet her demise.

The flying ship headed towards the Northern Territory, swiftly retreating across the vast sea. On the flying ship, Liu Xinyue opened her eyes. The sunlight was glaring for her. Youre awake? Li Sus gentle voice sounded. Liu Xinyue asked, Where are we going now? Back to the Northern Territory, Li Su replied. What? Liu Xinyue seemed to have just realized the situation. I was unconscious underwater. How did I end up on this flying ship? She then looked at Li Su and asked, Did you save me? Li Su nodded and then handed her the Sunflower Water Pearls she had obtained. This was something you were holding onto at the time. Liu Xinyue took the Sunflower Water Pearls with joy. Soon after, she looked at Li Su, her gaze changing. She hadnt expected Li Su to take the risk to rescue her.

The reason she had ventured down was because it was indeed dangerous. The whirlpool formed by the natural geomantic formation in the Mermaid clans territory could easily trap a regular Nascent Soul stage cultivator, making it difficult to ascend. At that time, the natural geomantic formation was in full force, quite different from the snake peoples attempts to destroy it.

Additionally, Liu Xinyue wasnt from the sea clan, so she didnt feel as comfortable underwater as they did. However, the Sunflower Water Pearls only appeared when the whirlpool emerged, so she had to go down then. Fortunately, she had made adequate preparations, and her water-element cultivation technique didnt suffer as much suppression as other cultivators would under those circumstances. Therefore, she had ventured down alone, but someone needed to watch from above. Her choice of Li Su meant that she placed great trust in him.

To some extent, it was like entrusting her life to him. Despite her thorough preparations, she never anticipated that things would still go wrong. She had thought she would be stuck there or seriously injured at the very least. However, she never imagined that Li Su would take the risk to come down and rescue her.

How could Liu Xinyue not be touched by this? Despite having lived for over a thousand years, most of her time had been devoted to cultivation. As the younger sister, she never had to worry about many things and still retained a young girls heart. Thank you, Li Su, she said with gratitude. Her heart was deeply moved, and she didnt address him as Fellow Taoist this time.

Calling Li Su by his name indicated a closer connection. Referring to someone as Fellow Taoist still maintained some distance. Beyond feeling thankful, Liu Xinyue had developed a sense of admiration for Li Su. This admiration had grown after several encounters with him, but it wasnt particularly pronounced until now.

Under the influence of her emotions, Liu Xinyues admiration for Li Su had become quite evident. Wasnt it very dangerous down there? It must have been quite challenging for you to go down, Liu Xinyue expressed her concern for Li Su.

In her understanding, both she and Li Su were at the Fourth Layer of the Nascent Soul stage, and going underwater posed some risks, especially for her, given her water-element cultivation. With Li Su going down, wasnt it even riskier? It wasnt too bad.
