Overlord, Love Me Tender

Ye Qing Luo closed her eyes as she sat motionless for a moment.

Following that she took a deep breath and compelled her body which was in intense pain as she sat upright.

The four surroundings were confined stone walls. As for the slope which she rolled down from, it had already been sealed off by the stone wall, unable to see the entrance.

Based on Ye Qing Luo’s current condition, she probably had no way to open the entrance of that stone wall.

“This is going to be troublesome.” Old Man Cang’s tone was grave, “I have no way to form out my spiritual body to help you open this stone wall, why not…. call Xi Jue out to try?”

Ye Qing Luo nodded as her energy couldn’t be used.

Luckily, she still had Xi Jue as company.

Ye Qing Luo took a breath as she called Xi Jue out.

Xi Jue was in the pet space when it heard their conversation.

The minute it appeared, it didn’t require Ye Qing Luo give any instructions as it’s small body curved upwards.

It’s fur stood upright as it’s body size suddenly turned large.

“Rawr—–”

Xi Jue growled lowly as the beast’s gaze was pitch-black but sharp. It’s huge body unexpectedly leapt as a huge leopard claw patted down directly on the stone wall.

“Bam—-”

A loud sound rang.

Ye Qing Luo only felt the entire private room shook three times.

But…

That stone wall did not move a single jot, not even a little bit of debris could be seen.

Ye Qing Luo blinked.

Xi Jue blinked.

One human and one beast stared at each other’s four eyes, as they were speechless.

Wh… What ghostly situation was this?

Xi Jue’s claw had used around eighty percent of his strength and yet it wasn’t able to break this stone wall?

What place was this!

So tough!

“Rawr, rawr—–” Xi Jue’s beastly eyes flashed as it refused to admit its defeat and started to raised its claws as it patted on the stone wall one again.

This claw shook the entire private room, as though it was about to collapse.

Ye Qing Luo’s body swayed, causing her internal organs another wave of throbbing pain.

Her slender brows creased into a knot as she drew in a few mouthfuls of cold air.

However, the stone wall still had not moved a single jot.

“Don’t tell me that I’d really need to wait for that Elder rank alchemist to return before I can leave this place?”

“Rawr, rawr…” Xi Jue’s body suddenly shrunk as it caved itself back to Ye Qing Luo’s side, sticking out its little tongue to lick her face.

Its low growling sound seemed to be apologizing to Ye Qing Luo.

Ye Qing Luo’s lips twitched, “It’s not your fault. I know you’ve already tried your best and it looks like… the owner of this private room, is a very powerful person…..”

Even Xi Jue, a mirage beast, had no way to knock open this stone wall.

It was enough to prove the abilities of this Elder ranked alchemist, and was absolutely a cultivator of Earth Profound Grade and above.

The last word of Ye Qing Luo’s was just completed when a fleeting voice was heard, seemingly just beside the ears but yet faintly discernible as it rang.

“Little Miss certainly has some self-knowledge.”

This voice was so cold as if it was enveloped in a layer of frost.

Ye Qing Luo had not yet been able to turn around as her body suddenly lightened as she was lifted by the collar, wrung upwards by force.

Xi Jue who was just sprawling by her side, because of the sudden action, fell down from Ye Qing Luo’s body as its four little paws faced upwards in the sky, dangling.

This action, made Ye Qing Luo’s internal organs seemed as though it was being torn apart, so painful that her whole forehead was drenched in cold sweat.

Standing in front of her eyes was a thin and tiny silhouette of an old man.

He was dressed entirely in a white long robe and even his head was masked up tightly.

This white robe wasn’t the same robe as the teachers or the Elders.

Plain and clean, without any patterns, as though a piece of clean white cloth.

The only accessory was the five gold star shaped badge which was pinned on his chest.

Under the long robe, that pair of malicious eyes were icy cold without any sense of emotions.

His hand, lightly lifted Ye Qing Luo’s collar as he came close to her.

“Little Miss, scram from my place.”

The long robed old man coldly warned, as he casually threw Ye Qing Luo out.
