Ning Qi helps Li Xiangrou break through to half-step True Immortal with immortal grass and medicinal pills. Meanwhile, Qianqian and Xu Feng, who previously sought them out, sneak into the courtyard. They are stopped by the Medicine Spirit, who easily defeats Xu Feng. Ning Qi emerges, recognizes them, and forcibly ejects them from the courtyard. They threaten revenge, and Ning Qi dismisses their threats.

"Whatever."

Ning Qi said disdainfully, "These pampered wastrels, let them be."

"One more, one less, it doesn’t matter either way."

"Whoosh."

Ning Qi sighed briefly, then closed the door.

He knew that the Commander would naturally take care of the remaining matters.

"Ning Qi, those people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are not easy to handle!"

At this time, Li Xiangrou, who had already recovered, came out as well.

Now that her strength had increased, her entire presence exuded an ethereal Immortal Qi.

Her every expression and movement no longer felt mundane.

"Indeed, the strength of a Half-step True Immortal."

Looking at Li Xiangrou before him, Ning Qi couldn’t help but smile and say, "From now on, you’re a true expert."

"Yes, I owe this to you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am today."

Li Xiangrou nodded slightly, a grateful expression on her delicate face.

She knew deep down that all of this was thanks to Ning Qi.

If it were up to her, she would never have had this opportunity in her lifetime.

"It was just a small effort on my part, no need to dwell on it."

Ning Qi smiled and then glanced at the sky, "It’s getting late, you should rest well."

"Tomorrow, we’ll set off again!"

"Once your problem is resolved, it’ll be like delivering a Buddha to the West."

"Okay!"

Li Xiangrou wanted to say something more.

However, seeing Ning Qi heading towards a side room, she swallowed her words at the last moment.

She returned to her side room to rest as well.

"Master, does that girl like you?"

After returning to the side room, Medicine Spirit couldn’t help but ask while smiling at Ning Qi.

"That’s her matter; we’re just here to bid farewell to Xu Qingqiu!"

"Once it’s done, we’ll head back!"

"We’ve been out so long that surely big changes have occurred in our True Martial Spirit Realm!"

Ning Qi shook his head, then lay down on the bed, "Enough talk, time to rest."

"Alright."

Medicine Spirit didn’t say any more, agreeing with him before lying down and resting together.

The night began to fly by in such a manner.

When morning came, Ning Qi awakened from his sleep.

"Whew!"

He went to the courtyard and saw Li Xiangrou eating breakfast there.

"Ning Qi, the attendants brought this over, give it a try."

She noticed Ning Qi emerging from the side room and waved with a smile.

"Alright!"

Ning Qi agreed and sat down with her.

Picking up a piece of mung bean cake, he began to taste it.

"How is it, tastes good, right?"

Watching him eat with relish, Li Xiangrou smiled and asked.

"Not bad."

Ning Qi nodded in satisfaction and then picked up two more pieces to savor.

"Ning Qi, I remember you mentioned you’re not from this realm?"

"Is that true?"

Li Xiangrou looked at Ning Qi with curiosity and asked.

"Yes, I come from the True Martial Spirit Realm at the edge of the Fifteenth District."

"This isn’t my Lower Realm."

Ning Qi nodded, then looked at her and said, "In my True Martial Spirit Realm, everything’s unified."

"Everyone submits to me; it isn’t as complex as the factions here."

"Oh, I see. We’re all people of the Fifteenth District then."

Understanding his explanation, Li Xiangrou responded, "I thought you were from a different district... or even an Immortal."

"An Immortal?"

Ning Qi chuckled and said, "You could say I am, yet I’m not."

"What do you mean?"

Li Xiangrou, intrigued by his words, asked further, her eyes twinkling as she gazed at Ning Qi.

"Because I possess the Bloodline Power of the ancestors of the Immortal Race."

"And my cultivation isn’t based on a conventional system."

Ning Qi openly stated, "I cultivate Immortal Demon Power, yet possess the purest ancestral legacy of the Immortal Race."

"No wonder I felt a tinge of fear when you were helping me."

"So you have Magic Power inside you."

Li Xiangrou showed a serious expression, "But won’t that lead to being consumed by madness? Won’t it turn you into a twisted creature?"

"No, my body is special, it doesn’t affect me at all!"

Ning Qi shook his head and continued, "If you wish to cultivate, I can teach you."

"No way, this realm has too many factions."

"If someone finds out I’m cultivating Immortal Demon Power."

"I can die, that’s fine, but my people would suffer as well!"

Li Xiangrou gently shook her head, "I do wish to go with you, to your True Martial Spirit Realm."

"Sadly, I have responsibilities here; I can’t let my elder sister, who is vicious, seize total control."

"It’s alright, everyone has their own ambitions."

"But if one day you change your mind, you can come anytime!"

Ning Qi nodded, suddenly recalling something, "When you return, you’ll inherit the throne, then perhaps there won’t be any opportunity."

"Not necessarily; if I have a successor, things will go smoothly!"

Li Xiangrou smiled at Ning Qi, "Unfortunately, I don’t have one yet."

"Successor?"

Ning Qi pondered her words, mumbling, "You’re talking about a descendant."

"Yes, but alas, with my status, I’ll have to search among nobility and such."

"That might take a few centuries!"

Li Xiangrou nodded and sighed softly, "By then, with your power, you might have reached the core region of the Sea of Realms, long gone from the Fifteenth District."

"I might not be able to find you all then."
