1708 Monarch Soul Frui (1/2)
The Desert Giant accepted the saint level spirit core from Qingfeng Li's hands with its eyes filled with excitement. It bowed to Qingfeng Li again in gratitude.
Hurriedly, the Desert Giant found a spot to sit down, put the saint spirit core into its mouth and devoured it. After, it began practicing the ”Desert Spirit Chant” of the Desert Giant race, hoping to refine this spirit nucleus.
However, in the next moment, a force from the saint level spirit core deflected the Desert Giant's cultivation techniques.
The Desert Giant stood up with its face full of confusion and said to Qingfeng Li, ”Master, there is a seal on this saint level spirit core. I can't refine it at all.”
Qingfeng Li smiled calmly and replied, ”That is alright. Your strength is relatively low right now. As it gets enhanced and improved, you can surely break the seal on the saint level spirit core in time.
”Think about it, if the saint level spirit core could be so easily refined, the Desert General would have done it long ago, and I would have had no chance of defeating it.”
Desert Giant nodded as a shred of pity crossed its eyes. It had hoped to achieve breakthrough from the Spirit Emperor Realm to the Saint through refining this saint level spirit core. Now that it was not an easy task to accomplish, it could only settle on waiting for more appropriate opportunities to come by in the future.
Even though the Desert Giant had not refined the saint level spirit core, it had devoured it into its body. Therefore, its physique had become incredibly strong, and so did its physical strength. With its power enhancing immensely, the Desert Giant was well-compensated.
Qingfeng Li turned to the Third Princess and greeted, ”It's been a long time. What brought you here from Earth?”
Third Princess' eyes flickered with a hint of complexity as she remained silent. She had not uttered a word because she was overwhelmed by all the secrets she was still trying to make sense of - such as, her unexpected awakening of the memories of her previous life, and her being brought to the Crimson Fire Continent by a mysterious woman.
The mysterious woman said that the Third Princess would leave here for even more high-tier worlds when she achieved the Spirit Emperor Realm.
The Third Princess found all that had happened to her to be beyond logic and reason. Hence, she did not know how to explain herself, as she worried she would weird Qingfeng Li out if she told him that she was the reincarnation of an immortal goddess.
Qingfeng Li could easily see Third Princess' worries. He understood her hesitation in revealing her identity because he had many secrets of his own as well. He would not tell people about his Golden Flames, Chaos Millstone, and the identities of his parents, either.
Qingfeng Li smiled casually as he said, ”Third Princess, everyone has secrets of their own. I am just like you. So, you have no reasons to worry, we are good friends regardless.”
When she heard that Qingfeng Li referred to them as ”good friends”, the Third Princess' expression closed up. For unknown reasons, she felt a tinge of discomfort in her heart.
On Earth, she had slept with Qingfeng Li and was his woman. Yet, she was now being treated as a friend by him.
Third Princess smiled coolly as she finally opened her mouth, ”Thank you for saving me. I have to go now, I need to go find monarch soul fruit.”
”Little Yaoyao, wait. We are on our way to look for monarch soul fruit as well. Let's search together; this way, we can help one another out if we run into danger.”
Not giving Third Princess any chance to reject his proposition, Qingfeng Li grabbed her hand at once and started marching forward.
Third Princess had soft and silky, tofu-like hands.
In the beginning, the Third Princess was a little resistant. She felt bashful that Qingfeng Li was holding her hand in front of everyone.
