Chapter 1785 Unable to Survive in the Sunlight
The sudden outburst of the Zangxu was something Ruan Yu had not anticipated.
She reacted very quickly, dodging the attack by turning to the side.
"Father! What are you doing?" Wu Luo was startled and quickly stepped forward to pull Ruan Yu behind her to protect her. "I brought that big guy back, so he's practically my friend. How could you lay a hand on him?"
"He's lying to you." When Zangxu saw his precious daughter protecting a man behind her and talking back to him, he became even angrier.
"He...didn't lie to me about anything," Wu Luo said guiltily.
She only gave him a floral ornament, nothing valuable.
"So, what did he ask you for?" Zang Xu glanced at Ruan Yu with icy eyes.
Unable to withstand her father's persistent questioning, Wu Luo had no choice but to tell the whole truth: "That's how it happened, Father. It really was just a little toy. He didn't lie to me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zang Xu appeared behind Ruan Yu, his divine power gathering and ready to be unleashed.
Ruan Yu was prepared and activated her divine power shield, perfectly blocking all of Zang Xu's attacks: "You... you're actually at the peak of the divine level!"
Zang Xu's attack could not harm Ruan Yu. He took two steps back and looked at Ruan Yu in shock.
I thought the other party was a reckless brat, but I didn't expect him to have such strong strength.
It seems that only a few clan elders can deal with him.
"Father! If you hit him again, I'll never speak to you again!" Wu Luo was furious. She grabbed Ruan Yu's hand and angrily said to Zhuang Xu, "You've been targeting my friend ever since you came back! Fine, I'm leaving!"
"Young Miss, we are sorry, but we cannot let you leave." The clansmen blocked Wu Luo's way.
"What? My friend isn't welcome here, but can't I take him with me?" Wu Luo glanced coldly at the group of tribesmen.
The clansmen looked troubled: "Young Miss, please don't make things difficult for us. This is the clan chief's decision."
"Yes, young lady, I think there must be some misunderstanding. Why don't you listen to what the clan leader has to say?"
"The clan leader dotes on the young lady the most. He wouldn't attack her for no reason. This kid must have done something that angers both heaven and man."
Wu Luo calmed down.
Yes, her father loved her the most. She had done many outrageous things before, but her father had always indulged her.
How could simply bringing someone back have provoked such a furious reaction from my father?
What exactly made my father angry?
"Not going anywhere?" Seeing Wu Luo stop, Zang Xu smiled and walked forward.
"I won't leave until things are cleared up," Wu Luo said proudly.
Zang Xu's gaze fell on Wu Luo and Ruan Yu's tightly clasped hands, and his expression darkened.
Wu Luo belatedly realized what was happening and hurriedly blushed as she let go of Ruan Yu's hand.
Why did she take so long to arrest her?
I hope Father hasn't misunderstood...
"Hand over the items." Zang Xu reached out his hand to Ruan Yu.
He had already ascertained Ruan Yu's strength, and that starting a war now would not benefit the clan.
Let's stall for time until the clan elders appear.
"This?" Ruan Yu took out the blue headdress that no longer possessed the power of the water source.
Zang Xu reached out and grabbed it. After confirming that there was no special aura at all, his face turned extremely gloomy: "Don't you have anything to explain?"
Seeing his reaction, Ruan Yu knew why Zang Xu was angry.
Zangxu knew that the floral decorations contained the essence of water, and it was highly likely that he had infused the essence of water into the floral decorations.
The essence of water is of immense benefit to cultivators, but direct absorption may damage their fundamental nature. However, transferring it into an object and carrying it on one's person for an extended period can enhance cultivation speed.
"Explain what? Barter?" Ruan Yu didn't think she had done anything wrong.
"You call that bartering? That's outright robbery!" Zang Xu's shoulders trembled with anger. "Luo'er never said she wanted to barter with you!"
Wu Luo touched her nose: "I've changed, Father."
I'm just not very satisfied with the replacement.
"Shut up!" Zang Xu rarely showed such a fierce expression to Wu Luo.
She really infuriated him!
Do you know how much effort he put into infusing that power into the floral decoration?
"You only discovered that the power could accelerate cultivation and heal some simple injuries, but you don't know about the side effects that power brings."
Ruan Yu glanced at Zang Xu: "Are you sure you want to talk here?"
The latter was taken aback, not expecting Ruan Yu to still be so self-righteous.
Alright, he wanted to see what this big guy had to say!
"follow me."
Zangxu formed a hand seal, and a small array appeared on the ground. Ruan Yu walked into it.
As the teleportation array began, Wu Luo jumped in as well: "Father, don't be angry."
The three of them appeared in a desolate courtyard.
In the shadows, two powerful auras lurked.
Ruan Yu knew perfectly well what was going on, but didn't point it out: "Wu Luo, did you experience lower abdominal pain when you had your period before?"
Wu Luo: "Huh?"
Zangxu: "??!"
Two clan elders in the shadows: "?" Are you sure they can hear this?
"This is outrageous!" Zang Xu felt that Ruan Yu was provoking him!
He raised his hand to strike, but Ruan Yu dodged with a flash. Realizing that discussing such trivial matters concerning girls in her current state was indeed inappropriate, he thought it was inappropriate.
Anyone who didn't know better would think there was something going on between her and Wuluo.
But once the words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.
"I am an alchemist," Ruan Yu hurriedly offered her help.
"It didn't hurt before, but in recent years, I've had frequent cramps, and my stomach feels like it's being ripped apart!" Wu Luo was in pain right now, clutching Zhuang Xu's sleeve, her face pale.
Zangxu looked at Ruan Yu with a mixture of belief and doubt.
Since there was no one else around, Ruan Yu spoke frankly: "The essence of water has great benefits for cultivation, but it can also cause irreparable damage to the physical body."
"Especially women."
“You know…!” It was impossible for Zangxu not to be shocked when he saw Ruan Yu say the words “the source of water” with such certainty.
Even he didn't know what that power was, and he had to ask the knowledgeable ancestor to find out.
This race of giants is no ordinary race.
"What's a few days of pain each month compared to the faster improvement? What kind of side effect is that?" Zang Xu was not one to easily believe Ruan Yu.
Wu Luo felt wronged. She was truly in pain. How could her father say such a thing? If this was the only way to improve, she would rather cultivate more slowly.
Ruan Yu: "This is just the beginning. If this continues, Wu Luo's body will become colder and colder, and eventually, she will not be able to survive in the sunlight."
She wasn't exaggerating.
Zangxu was also shocked. Unable to survive in sunlight? There must be even more terrifying side effects!
"Why should I believe you?" That's what he said, but in his heart he already believed most of it.
"Ah...it hurts so much..." Wu Luo's stomach was in excruciating pain. She squatted down, clutching her lower abdomen with both hands, cold sweat pouring down her face.
"Luo'er!"
Two elders, both alchemists, appeared from the shadows: "The pain-relieving pills are useless against Luo'er. I... I'm at a loss too!"
"Didn't you refine pills for Luo'er?" Zang Xu decided to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
