Chapter 539 - 341: Because He Is Still Alive
...
As the green pearl healed his body, the dizziness and disorientation slowly faded away. He finally managed to stand up, wondering whether he should attempt to escape or simply let that woman vent her suppressed anger, then see what happened afterwards. Clearly, she had no intention of killing him, for he was still alive. However, the healing process he had undergone so far was anything but comfortable.
"Hmph," the woman noticed his healing wounds and was genuinely surprised. To mend an injury required the use of spiritual energy and infusing it with one’s elemental affinity. Yet, this healing process hadn’t used spiritual energy at all. Any utilization of energy would cause fluctuations, but no such fluctuations appeared during the healing, suggesting that this man’s body concealed some hidden secrets.
"You boy, what is your name?" she asked, letting herself drop into a comfortable chair in the room, her eyes fixed on Yan Xiaobao.
"I’m Yan Xiaobao," he replied honestly, looking at the woman. Although he had been mistreated, he dared not show any disrespect. This woman was truly strong — so strong that she could likely kill him with just a thought. She was probably even more powerful than Zhong Hui, whom he had encountered in the Dragon Core.
"Yan Xiaobao. Tell me, how did you end up sharing your body with this disgusting little bird inside you?" Wang Qiao asked as she gestured to the chair in front of her. Yan Xiaobao quickly sat down at her signal.
"I come from another plane," he began. "Unlike this plane, which lacks martial arts training or internal energy. I’m from a plane we call Earth." Yan Xiaobao started narrating his origins, and Wang Qiao listened intently, clearly intrigued by his words.
"In that world, knowledge is what matters. The more you know, the better you perform in society. Killing is strongly opposed, and physical strength gets you nowhere."
"I lived in that world for twenty-four years," Yan Xiaobao recounted, his story captivating Wang Qiao immensely. Her eyes widened with astonishment. Though immensely powerful herself, she had never been to another world before. After all, she was not God.
"When I was twenty-four years old, I came across a shop selling ancient Chinese antiques. One of the items was a beautiful hairpin adorned with a blue phoenix."
"This hairpin unexpectedly contained the soul of Lan Feng. After he successfully killed me and struck my heart, the two of us were forcibly reincarnated into this world, which appears to be his homeland."
