Chapter 1862: 1862
Inside the cavern residence in the You Pavilion, Han Lin’s servants picked a few corpse puppets for Xia Qingyuan . Ying Qing, on the other hand, brought out Ye Futian’s body .
Ye Futian’s body had a dark color and was wrapped in the Will of Death . His eyes were tightly closed as if he was about to die any second .
“Ying Qing, this one is not fully transformed yet . The vice chief doesn’t have control over him either . Why are you bringing him?” a person looked at Ying Qing and asked . They picked up Ye Futian together days ago and recognized him easily .
“More or less, I suppose you can figure out what the young master is thinking about,” said Ying Qing .
“Sure thing, Goddess Xia is a gorgeous woman and a good match for the vice chief . Maybe she will be our mistress in the future,” someone playfully said . Of course, they would only gossip about the young master in private .
“The vice chief purposefully brought a corpse puppet to visit the Goddess . He probably wants her to learn how to refine corpse puppets . This one may be useful specifically because he is not fully transformed yet . Otherwise, all the corpse puppets are the same . What’s the purpose of doing this?” Ying Qing said .
Other people thought for a moment before nodding in agreement . Ying Qing had a point . That being so, they should bring Ye Futian along .
Right now, Ye Futian was faking his death . He sealed off all the energy inside of his body and let the Death Will surround him .
The servants brought the corpse puppets out of the cavern residence and arrived at Xia Qingyuan’s palace shortly after .
Because some of the corpse puppets belonged to other people, their owners also went to Xia Qingyuan’s palace to order the puppets to line up in front of Xia Qingyuan . Ye Futian was the only one who wasn’t controlled yet .
Xia Qingyuan’s heart was pounding violently the moment she saw Ye Futian . People in Senluo Manor didn’t know who Ye Futian was, but she certainly understood how marvelous Ye Futian was back in the Original Realm . The best cultivator in the Original Realm was treated so horribly here .
Xia Qingyuan could feel her heart aching . He must be suffering .
However, Xia Qingyuan still did her best to conceal her emotions .
“Isn’t he not refined yet?” Han Lin also noticed Ye Futian . He didn’t pay much attention to this random, dying man they picked up on the road that day . Since he had been devoted to Xia Qingyuan in recent days, he almost forgot about Ye Futian completely .
It only occurred to him now that he saw Ye Futian again .
“The Goddess wants to research the puppets . That’s why I brought him here too,” Ying Qing bowed and answered .
“Okay,” Han Lin nodded . Ying Qing’s idea was pretty good . Han Lin looked at Xia Qingyuan and said, “These are finished corpse puppets . This one is not fully refined yet and isn’t controlled by anyone for now . ”
“Thank you very much . ” Xia Qingyuan had a strong urge to kill Han Lin, but she made an effort to keep a tight rein on her feelings . All that had been achieved would be spoiled if her intention was detected .
She stared at the corpse puppets and occupied them with her divine consciousness as though she was studying them carefully .
“The Death Will seems so natural . This method of refining puppets is truly exquisite . I never heard about it even from my master,” Xia Qingyuan expressed her admiration . She surely knew that Han Lin intended to attract her with the method of refining puppets . By faking interest and singing praises, she let his guard slip .
As Xia Qingyuan expected, Han Lin grinned upon hearing her comment . “This is a secret method of Senluo Manor and is indeed remarkable . But your master is an extraordinary cultivator . Senluo Manor couldn’t possibly compare to him when it comes to cultivation method . ”
Xia Qingyuan didn’t respond . She focused on studying the corpses puppets . Seeing how she ignored him, Han Lin said sensibly, “Why don’t you research on them for now? Please feel free to do whatever you want on these puppets . ”
“Thank you . ” Xia Qingyuan nodded at Han Lin despite her deep hatred toward him . She couldn’t wait for Han Lin to leave, but she restrained herself and didn’t act too eager . It took her great efforts not to kick him out immediately .
This was not the time to be careless .
Xia Qingyuan didn’t jump into action even after Han Lin was gone . She kept pretending to study these puppets studiously outside of the palace .
It was impossible to know how many people were watching her here in Senluo Manor . She had to extra careful .
Darkness settled in . Senluo Manor was especially gloomy due to the Death Will permeated the air .
Xia Qingyuan finally started to move . She sent the puppets into the palace and asked the Little Condor to bring Ye Futian into the inner courtyard, where she applied the sealing technique . She did the same thing every night for the following days . It was quite common for cultivators traveling outside to block the divine consciousness . No one became suspicious because of that .
Since the other puppets were controlled by the people of Senluo Manor, she wasn’t ready to act until now and still couldn’t make any move in front of them .
Ye Futian sensed Xia Qingyuan’s sealing technique and finally opened his eyes and took a deep breath . He felt much comfortable now that he got out of the matrix . He could recover from his injuries without spending all of his energy to resist the power of Death in the matrix .
Nevertheless, he still needed time . He was still extremely weak after his escape .

Ye Futian opened his eyes and saw Xia Qingyuan’s beautiful face .
Xia Qingyuan’s heart was aching while staring at Ye Futian . She felt powerless and useless as she couldn’t save him .
“I told you to go back to Emperor Xia’s Realm . Why would you risk your life to come here?” Ye Futian sighed softly . It was unbelievably dangerous for Xia Qingyuan and the Little Condor to go through the space crack and come to the Divine Prefecture . They might have gotten lost if not for the Little Condor’s ability to track him .
Even so, he was grateful that they came for him . Otherwise, he didn’t really know how to get out of here .
Xia Qingyuan looked at Ye Futian with a scowl on her face . He still behaved in this way, even under the current circumstances .
She squatted down and picked Ye Futian up . Ye Futian was surprised to see that Xia Qingyuan’s Life Spirit bloomed into a brilliant Lotus of Life . One by one, the petals sprouted and grew larger, and eventually enveloped the entire space . The remarkable energy of life was circling each petal .
Beyond that, Xia Qingyuan seemed to have an unlimited current of life, which flowed to Ye Futian in countless thin streams that connected them . Complemented by the dazzling divine light, she looked like a sacred Jiutian Goddess .
As their bodies intertwining perfectly, the Power of Life poured into Ye Futian from Xia Qingyuan and gradually neutralized the Power of Death in Ye Futian . At this moment, Ye Futian had nothing to hide from Xia Qingyuan as the Power of Life rushed into his limbs and organs .
The petals slowly closed and encased Ye Futian and Xia Qingyuan inside . It looked like a bright lamp in the darkness .
The Black Wind Condor watching nearby felt a little melancholy . They were doing it right in front of the condor in broad daylight… No, in the darkness . They really had no respect for the condor .
How could they?!
The Black Wind Condor turned around and walked out . It was not appropriate for him to watch .
He sighed with wonder at what was happening between Ye Futian and Xia Qingyuan .
Although he had been biased against Xia Qingyuan, he couldn’t help but exclaim .
The princess was a real woman!

The Black Wind Condor was on the lookout for them for several hours that night . Mixed feelings rushed through his mind .
Finally, the divine light faded, and the unblemished petals slowly retracted back into the lotus, which revealed Ye Futian and Xia Qingyuan inside .
Bashful and blushing, Xia Qingyuan seemed exceptionally lovely .
“Thank you,” Ye Futian said to Xia Qingyuan . He was a little lost upon seeing Xia Qingyuan’s flushed cheeks . Her long hair was loose, and her eyes were bewitching . She didn’t look like the princess she usually was .
Xia Qingyuan threw a glare at Ye Futian as if she was displeased by his response .
“How are you feeling?” Xia Qingyuan asked quietly . She didn’t notice that her voice was extra soft .
“I can circulate the energy inside of my body . Now I need some time to recover from my injuries,” said Ye Futian . He was completely free from the threat of the Will of the Death . With Xia Qingyuan’s help, he was in a much better state than when he first arrived at the Divine Prefecture .
All he needed to do now was to recuperate by himself .
“Okay . ” Xia Qingyuan nodded and said, “Have a good rest . ”
She shot a glance at Ye Futian and carried him into the room . When she walked out with a faint blush on her face, she noticed a pair of bright eyes peeking at her . Xia Qingyuan was startled, yet the Black Wind Condor had already turned his head away .
The condor didn’t see anything .
Xia Qingyuan walked toward the Black Wind Condor from behind . The condor could feel the hair standing on end on his neck . Women were truly fickle . How did they switch emotions so quickly?
He only sneaked a few peeks . It really wasn’t a big deal .
“Bring a puppet to me,” Xia Qingyuan ordered . She planned to destroy each puppet in the name of research . As a result, Ye Futian could disappear reasonably .
These puppets were not human anymore and were only used by the Senluo Manor to kill more people . Thus, Xia Qingyuan didn’t feel any moral burden at all . One by one, the Black Wind Condor brought in the puppets for Xia Qingyuan to clean up .

After everything was done, Xia Qingyuan returned to the room to rest . Ye Futian was still there, of course .
They had to share the room .
Ye Futian had no other choices .
Ye Futian felt much better the next morning . He was regaining his health at lightspeed and should be able to get back to normal in no time .
The important thing was to avoid detection .
Han Lin came to visit Xia Qingyuan again as usual . However, he didn’t get to see her for the first time since she came to Senluo Manor .
The Black Wind Condor met with Han Lin and told him that Xia Qingyuan gained some enlightenment from the day before and was cultivating in seclusion .
Han Lin was convinced by the scintillating divine light and the holy lotuses blooming and surrounding the palace Xia Qingyuan resided . He left a message and decided to drop by another day .
At this moment, Han Lin didn’t realize why Xia Qingyuan was cultivating in seclusion .
He already received the report that Xia Qingyuan destroyed all the puppets for research . Despite the hefty cost, he believed it was a worthy investment as long as he could win over Xia Qingyuan . What pleased him more was that Xia Qingyuan seemed to be gaining something from his efforts .
Everything appeared to be normal and reasonable .
Han Lin left with no hard feelings . Xia Qingyuan, on the other hand, started to cultivate in seclusion in Senluo Manor .
