Chapter 1787 Almost Became a Younger Woman
After hearing Zangxu's explanation, Ruan Yu's gloomy expression eased slightly.
Zangxu fiddled with the mechanism a few times, and with a "click," something was opened.
Zang Xu carefully carried a small bowl with a lid and slowly walked to Ruan Yu. With each small step, he would cautiously glance at the ground, afraid that he might accidentally drop the precious bowl in his hands.
“This is it.” Zangxu opened the lid.
Just as Ruan Yu had expected, the bowl contained a shallow, water-like liquid.
With so little water, even if you walk very fast, it's impossible for it to spill, especially since there's a lid.
Zang Xu's worries were indeed somewhat excessive.
The lid was sealed, and after Zangxu opened it, Ruan Yu felt the aura of the source of water rushing towards her.
No wonder she didn't sense any trace of the water's essence when she arrived here. She almost suspected that Wu Luo had deceived her.
Don't be fooled by the small amount of water in the bowl; it contains a great deal of power.
Once the Water Spirit Orb refines these water essences, it should be able to maintain its awakened state.
"Thank you." Ruan Yu tapped her fingertip, drawing the essence of water into the space and transferring it into the Water Spirit Orb.
The color of the Water Spirit Pearl visibly deepened to a more vibrant blue.
Previously, it was a lifeless gray expanse.
"Master, I'm sorry for causing you trouble," Shui Lingzhu said remorsefully after waking up.
Ruan Yu: "It's not your fault. It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Just focus on refining it and try to recover as soon as possible."
"Uh-huh!"
When his consciousness left the space, he saw that Zangxu was staring at him as if he had seen a ghost.
Ruan Yu asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"You... you absorbed so much of the essence of water directly?" Zangxu was stunned.
What kind of monster is she?
It took him several months to refine even a single drop of the essence of water! And the process was extremely painful, so much so that he refused to refine a second drop no matter what.
Ruan Yu did not explain, "Which kinds of pills do you want?"
She changed the subject.
Zang Xu was taken aback for a moment, then listed the types of pills he wanted.
They thought they'd be lucky to get a few bottles of pills, but to their surprise, Ruan Yu simply waved her hand. Bottles and jars rained down, appearing on the table, in the cupboards, and on the floor...
Zangxu was practically stunned by this unexpected surprise!
So many pills!
There are ten in each bottle!
Is he really not dreaming?
Or is it that the pill is of a lower grade? But even the elders can refine low-quality pills. If that's the case, then Ruan Yu is really being unfair!
Zang Xu opened a bottle with a dark expression, exclaiming, "Top-grade divine pills!!!"
His voice rose several octaves because he was so surprised.
It's almost like a female voice.
"These...these are all top-grade divine pills?!" Zang Xu checked several more jade bottles.
He was completely dizzy, as if he had drunk too much.
"Mm." Ruan Yu nodded gently.
The value of these elixirs far exceeds the value of the water source that Zangxu gave her.
She has never liked owing favors to others.
It's best to settle things evenly.
"Thank you, thank you," Zang Xu said hurriedly. So many top-grade divine pills were enough to multiply the strength of the entire Heavenly Spirit Clan several times over!
"No need for thanks, we're just mutually benefiting," Ruan Yu said calmly.
Elixirs were something she could easily refine. But the essence of water was what she needed most right now.
Didn't Zang Xu also help her?
"I've gotten a great deal." Zang Xu put away the pills, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
"Still don't know the young lady's name?"
"Ruan Yu."
"Very well, Miss Ruan, from now on, Miss Ruan will be a noble person of our Tianling Clan!" Zang Xu's voice echoed throughout the town.
"Anyone who sees her is as if the clan chief himself were present!"
Along with the voice came Ruan Yu's presence.
Although the Tianling people did not know who the "Miss Ruan" mentioned by Zang Xu was, the clan leader's decisions were always correct, so they just followed them.
Everyone secretly memorized this aura.
"Hmm?" When Wu Luo sensed this aura, she couldn't help but be taken aback: "A woman's aura, and it feels somewhat familiar..."
She was on high alert: "Could Father have found me a concubine while Mother was away visiting her parents' home?!"
The two elders said, "...Luo'er, the clan leader is not that kind of person."
"Yes, Lori, don't be angry."
Wu Luo was about to explode with anger, but she didn't get angry!
"Then tell me, whose aura is this?" It doesn't belong to any of our clansmen at all!
It must be the wild woman that Father brought back from outside!
Wu Luo stormed back, wanting to settle scores with Zang Xu, just as Ruan Yu came out of Zang Xu's room.
"A vixen!" Wu Luo was stunned the moment she saw Ruan Yu's face.
She admitted that the woman was indeed very beautiful, but that was no excuse for her father's infidelity!
“Wu Luo.” Ruan Yu frowned.
"You still know my name?" Wu Luo trembled and shouted, "Zang Xu! Are you going to continue being a coward?!"
When Zang Xu, who was following closely behind, heard the little cotton-padded jacket call him that, an angry look appeared on his face: "Luo'er."
He emphasized, "Have you forgotten the rules your father taught you?"
Wu Luo ignored what he said and pointed at Ruan Yu, asking, "Who is this woman? Is she the concubine you found for me while my mother was away?"
As she spoke, Wu Luo's eyes reddened: "How could you betray my mother!"
Zangxu: "..." It turns out it was a misunderstanding.
"It's not what you think."
"What?! She even came out of your room!" Wu Luo burst into tears: "In broad daylight, don't you have any shame!"
"Luo'er..."
"Don't talk to me! Let's get a divorce! I'll live with my mother, and you can just be a lonely old woman!" Wu Luo completely ignored Zang Xu's explanation.
The two elders who came along were also at a loss. When the little ancestor went crazy, no one could control him!
"Wuluo, look who I am." Ruan Yu sighed.
His appearance changed, and he reverted to the appearance of a giant.
Wu Luo didn't want to see it, but her eyes were out of her control.
"A big guy?!"
She was utterly shocked. She rubbed her eyes hard and, upon realizing that the person in front of her was indeed a large man, burst into tears of joy: "Father did not betray Mother. I misunderstood."
"You're a big guy, how did you turn into a woman?" Wu Luo ran up to Ruan Yu.
Ruan Yu said, "I am a woman."
As soon as the words left her lips, Wu Luo's body visibly trembled.
She probably didn't even realize that her complexion was gradually turning ugly.
"The matter has been settled. Wu Luo, Clan Chief, and the two elders, I must go now." Ruan Yu's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Wu Luo's face.
"I don't believe it." Wu Luo grabbed Ruan Yu's sleeve. "I don't believe you're a woman."
