Chapter 410: A Life-Saving Grace
“Princess, recently you sent your subordinates to various merchant shops to purchase forging materials, like Senluo Leather, Mingxin Strange Sand, Po Yue Gold, and Lihuo Jade. These are all materials for forging top-tier divine artifacts! They are priceless outside. I heard that even with the entire Red Fox Clan mobilized, more than half of the materials haven't been found yet…”
Kong scratched his head, without outsiders watching, he spoke unscrupulously, "Tsk, I wonder when that good-for-nothing princess became interested in forging. I guess it'll be like before, working hard for three days and slacking off for two."
Yun Qi took out a piece of red jade from his sleeve, crystal clear, warm, and flawless. It was obviously a top-quality ice jade, "Coincidentally, I obtained a piece of Lihuo Jade in my early years. Please deliver it to the princess on my behalf."
Kong took it and his eyes widened, "Young Master! This is top-grade Lihuo Jade! And such a big piece!!! It could be sold for tens of thousands of top-grade crystal cores outside! Why give such a good thing to that good-for-nothing princess to waste!"
Yun Qi shook his head, "This item is useless to me now. If the princess needs it, then give it to her."
Kong looked at his young master with even more sorrow.
Wasn't it thanks to this brutal princess that his young master was reduced to a cripple!?
His young master married into the princess's manor, not to suffer this humiliation! Scolding and whipping, his young master endured it all, but that poisonous woman actually dared to gouge out his young master's eyes!
Kong really couldn't understand why his young master never resisted. His young master was so powerful, he saved him from the jaws of a Fallen Beast in the abyss. He was the most admired and most powerful person, and he vowed to follow his young master for life.
His young master could have killed the princess, left Qingqiu, and fled far away.
He thought that his young master agreed to this forced marriage for this purpose, wanting to use the marriage to escape the control of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. But he didn't expect his young master to willingly stay and suffer so much humiliation. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it wasn't worth it! The more he thought about it, the more heartbroken he felt!
Yun Qi sighed softly, "She once saved my life, and this time, it can be considered repaying her kindness."
…
On the other side, Sang Luo held a long list that almost dragged on the ground, pacing back and forth in the room, scratching her ears and cheeks in anxiety.
She had been here for more than a month, and she was still missing thousands of rare materials for refining the Creation Furnace. Now, she hadn't even found half of them. Even Rainbow Light Water, Lihuo Jade, Celestial Illusion Wings… these were all legendary divine-grade forging materials. Not to mention buying them with money, she didn't even know where to find them.
“Your Highness, Princess, Yun Qi, your consort's personal servant is requesting an audience.” Someone reported outside the door.
Sang Luo was in a bad mood, and her tone wasn't good, "What is he doing here?"
“He said he has a treasure to offer, something that Your Highness definitely needs.”
“Oh? Then let him in.”
Kong came into the hall and saw the Ji Wan Princess with a face full of irritability, and his heart instinctively flinched. He was even more deeply doubtful, did this princess really have a life-saving grace for the young master when he was a child?
No matter how he looked at it, she didn't seem like a kind-hearted person.
Could the young master have repaid the wrong person?
He braced himself and stepped forward, "Greetings, Your Highness. Your consort heard that Your Highness is looking for forging materials, so he specially sent this humble servant to offer this item. This is a piece of Lihuo Jade that your consort accidentally obtained during his training a few years ago. Your Highness should need it."
Sang Luo was surprised and delighted, "Is it really Lihuo Jade? Quickly, bring it up and let this palace see!"
She took the brocade box handed over by the servant.
It felt heavy to the touch.
Opening it, it was a piece of top-quality Lihuo Jade with a pure color, as big as a fist!
She didn't even dare to imagine it being so big.
It simply solved her urgent need!
This little consort of Ji Wan Princess was hiding his strength. Originally, Sang Luo didn't pay much attention to this small character. At most, Yun Qi had some connections with the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, and she had rescued him along the way. Now, she was curious.
Being able to take out such a piece of top-quality Lihuo Jade, no matter how he obtained it, he was definitely not an unknown background character.
Seeing the princess's happy expression, Kong also breathed a sigh of relief. It was a pity to give away such a good spiritual jade, but at least he made this brutal princess happy, and she might treat his young master better in the future.
“Your Highness, this humble servant will leave first. Your consort still needs me to serve him.”
“Go back, take good care of Yun Qi. If Meihua Garden needs anything, tell the steward. If you encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come to this princess for support.”
“Thank you for Your Highness's kindness!”
Kong kowtowed and left excitedly.
Sang Luo couldn't use her space talent, so she could only temporarily store the Lihuo Jade in the secret room of the princess's manor, to prevent it from being stolen by villains.
When she found all the materials in the future, taking it away would be another difficult problem. If her body was here, it would be much more convenient. She could use the time domain to take it away… Alas, she didn't know where her main body was now.
Minos once said that in order to maximize the avoidance of the pursuit of the laws of heaven and earth, after the soul and body were separated, the soul would reside in the body of a person in time and space. The selection of the body might be random, or it might be to find the body that best fits the soul. The original body would fall into a deep sleep, generally not far from the soul, hidden in a secret space-time crack.
Space-time crack…
It made people clueless.
Forget it, don't think so much, finding all the materials is the most important thing.
Anyway, the soul and body will have a sense of connection, and the main body will not be too far away from her, and she will find it sooner or later.
“Speaking of which, this palace hasn't gone to see Yun Qi, your consort, for a long time. I wonder how his body is recovering. Someone, pick some tonics, treasures, and jewelry from the warehouse, and this palace will personally go to thank your consort for the Lihuo Jade.” Sang Luo instructed the servants beside her.
“Princess, it's getting late, why not have dinner first and go tomorrow.”
The cold moon nights came early, and the sky was half dark when it was just You time.
“It doesn't matter, this palace is not hungry, what day do you need to choose to thank someone? I've been too busy lately, I'm afraid I'll forget tomorrow, this palace will thank him in person today.”
Sang Luo took people to Meihua Garden.
From afar, she saw a slender and tall figure standing outside the door, groping the wall and slowly moving. Kong stood nervously beside him, watching closely, wanting to help but not daring.
The young man's waist and back were as straight as pine and bamboo, slowly adapting to the unfamiliar darkness. A few short minutes passed very slowly.
He walked more than ten meters along the corridor, and there was an uneven step ahead. Sang Luo subconsciously held her breath, but fortunately, the young man successfully crossed the step, presumably it was not the first time he had gone out to practice walking.
He was, after all, a proud person in his bones. Without his eyes, he would not allow himself to really be like a cripple, living in a decadent state in the room every day, unable to do without others for trivial matters, which was a humiliation worse than death for him.
When he was familiar with the lightless days, he would be able to live as normal as anyone else.
After losing his eyes, his ears and sense of smell became sensitive instead. Yun Qi's ears twitched, stopped, and turned around, "Your Highness, you've come."
