Yama's Wedding
Xiao Yao Hao had made up his mind; no matter what Liu Qing was like, he would always be by her side. He had missed so much time already, and this time, he absolutely would not let Liu Qing be alone.
“Xue, what are you waiting for? Saving Liu Qing is the most important thing!”
Seeing Yao Guang's anxious expression, Xue's heart was in turmoil. There were many treasures in this world, but the only one that could save Liu Qing was this Solidifying Pearl. There were many others that could save Yao Guang, but given her current state, would she still be able to wait for him to find those pearls?
“Xue, this pearl was meant for me, but now I don’t want it anymore. I want you to use it to save Liu Qing. Xue, I beg you. If my selfishness causes Liu Qing to leave us like this, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life.” Yao Guang pleaded with Xue repeatedly. She understood his intentions well; ever since he learned about her situation, Xue had been tirelessly searching for ways to help her. When he found out there was a Solidifying Pearl in the world, although he didn’t show it, Yao Guang could see that he was very happy during the journey here. That was why he worked so hard to assist Xiao Yao Hao—just to obtain this pearl. Yao Guang knew how good Xue was to her, and because of that, she hoped he could understand her feelings and use this pearl to save Liu Qing.
“Alright, I will save her.” Xue's agreement brought joy to both Xiao Yao Hao and Yao Guang.
“Young Master Xue, I... I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life,” Xiao Yao Hao said, struggling to express his gratitude with the most clichéd words.
At that moment, Liu Qing was too weak to speak and could only look at Xue and Yao Guang with grateful eyes.
“Xue, you truly are the best.”
Listening to Yao Guang’s praise and seeing the grateful expressions from Xiao Yao Hao and Liu Qing made him feel content. Wasn’t it just a pearl? As long as it could bring happiness to Yao Guang, it was worth it. Without this pearl, he could still find others; even if that failed, there were other ways to help Yao Guang’s soul. With that thought in mind, Xue felt at ease.
Now that he had come to terms with it, there was no time to waste in saving Liu Qing.
“Xiao Yao Hao, quickly help Liu Qing up. I will cast a spell shortly; you stay by my side for protection.” Xue hurriedly arranged everything, eager to save Liu Qing.
Xiao Yao Hao quickly helped Liu Qing to her feet. Upon seeing this, Yao Guang obediently stepped aside, not wanting to delay their efforts to save Liu Qing.
Xue took out the Solidifying Pearl from the ornate box. At that moment, it was the first time Yao Guang had seen this legendary pearl. Upon closer inspection, it didn’t seem particularly special; it looked like an ordinary bead. In fact, the ornate box itself appeared more eye-catching than the pearl.
Holding the pearl in his hand, Xue infused it with his own magical energy. As soon as his energy entered the pearl, the seemingly unremarkable bead suddenly radiated a brilliant light. Multicolored hues swirled within the pearl, and Yao Guang was mesmerized by its beauty, realizing that the pearl was indeed quite stunning.
Once Xue infused his magical energy, he felt as if the pearl had come to life, spinning continuously and absorbing his power. Before he knew it, the pearl had forcefully drained all of his magical energy. Realizing this, Xue quickly adjusted his energy and focused on countering the pearl's pull. Soon enough, the Solidifying Pearl obediently submitted to Xue's control. He retracted his energy and enveloped the pearl in his hand, channeling his true energy to shatter it into powder.
“Xiao Yao Hao, stay behind and protect her,” Xue instructed.
Hearing Xue's command, Xiao Yao Hao moved behind Liu Qing to steady her.
Xue scattered the powder from his hand over Liu Qing's body. In an instant, the powder swiftly surrounded her, forming a colorful protective barrier that tightly enveloped her.
Liu Qing's previously pale face gradually regained a rosy hue, and her transparent form began to solidify. Xiao Yao Hao watched this miraculous scene unfold with joy in his heart.
When the light barrier dissipated, Liu Qing had fully recovered. She opened her eyes and could clearly feel the strength of her soul.
“Thank you, King Yan, for saving my life.” As soon as she opened her eyes, Liu Qing walked straight up to Xue and bowed deeply in gratitude.
“Liu Qing, do you feel any discomfort?” Xiao Yao Hao eagerly took Liu Qing's hand and asked.
Liu Qing smiled down at him and replied, “No, I feel better than ever.”
Hearing Liu Qing's words, Xiao Yao Hao felt a surge of joy and couldn't bear to let go of Liu Qing's hand.
Yao Guang, seeing Liu Qing looking healthy, was also extremely happy.
Xue, watching from the side, suddenly swayed his body.
Yao Guang quickly supported Xue and nervously asked, "Xue, what's wrong?" It was unusual for Xue to suddenly be unable to stand.
Xiao Yao Hao and Liu Qing heard Yao Guang's voice and hurried over.
"It's nothing. I just consumed too much magical energy earlier; a little rest will do me good," Xue reassured Yao Guang.
"Xiao Yao Hao, Liu Qing, I should take Xue back to rest," he added.
Although Xue said this, Yao Guang still felt uneasy in his heart. He had no choice but to bid farewell to the two and take Xue back to rest.
