Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 201 Subduing Qin Yu'er: No Need for Further Training
"Are you awake?"

In the biting cold valley, a warm voice seemed to echo in her ear.

Qin Yu'er opened her eyes again, and two figures were reflected in her vision.

"who are you?"

Where am I?

In a daze, Qin Yu'er squinted her eyes again.

Mu Ningxue was stunned, her eyes widening.

"Lu Ran, is there something wrong with your soul-nourishing medicine?"

Lu Ran's smile froze on his face.

There's something wrong with the Soul Elixir?

impossible!

That was found in the treasures of the Abyss of Fiends.
Could it be that it hasn't been used or maintained for too long and has gone bad?

Mu Ningxue hurriedly reached out and checked Qin Yu'er's mouth and nose. After finding that she was still breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Ran frowned, and after carefully examining the area with his spiritual power, he said with satisfaction:
"It's nothing, I'm just too weak to handle the nourishment."

On the contrary, it wasn't that the soul-nourishing medicine had a problem; rather, the soul power it contained was too strong, and her cultivation hadn't recovered yet, which was why she was momentarily out of breath.

"Let's wait another half hour. I'll help her slowly refine the remaining soul power, and her cultivation will recover quickly."

Before Lu Ran could finish speaking, it began.

His spiritual energy split into countless streams, flowing into Qin Yu'er's limbs and bones.
Mu Ningxue stood guard to the side.

She wanted to help, but couldn't get involved, and could only silently watch Lu Ran's hands 'massage' Qin Yu'er's back.

It was earlier than expected.

Ten minutes later.

"Did you save me?" Qin Yu'er opened her eyes and murmured softly.

She saw Mu Ningxue in front of her and was very surprised. What an unparalleled beauty, with skin as white as ice and bones as jade.

Qin Yu'er wanted to stand up and bow to express her gratitude, but as soon as she stood up, she couldn't support herself and fell backward.

Seeing this, Mu Ningxue tried to help, but it was too late.

Fortunately, Lu Ran was right behind Qin Yu'er, holding her steadily in his arms.

"You are still very weak, don't push yourself."

"I saved you, not expecting you to bow down here."

"My name is Lu Ran. You should recover first before thinking about thanking me."

A soft voice reached her ears, and Qin Yu'er's ears twitched.

A masculine scent.
This was the first time I'd ever been held in a man's arms.
Just as Lu Ran said, she is still very weak.

Although his strength had recovered by nearly 50% with his help, he was not fully recovered. His limbs had not been used for a long time, and he was somewhat weak.
A moment later, without keeping her two benefactors waiting any longer, Qin Yu'er broke from her meditation and looked at Lu Ran and Mu Ningxue with her beautiful eyes.

He lingered for a long time, especially on Lu Ran's handsome face.

Is this the person who freed her from the seal?

Qin Yu'er imprinted Lu Ran's appearance in her heart.

Seeing that Qin Yu'er had woken up, Mu Ningxue asked with great concern:

"Sister Qin, how are you recovering? Are you all better now?"

"If you have any, just say so. Don't be afraid of the trouble; let my man examine you again."

Lu Ran's lips twitched as he listened from the side.

Mu Ningxue didn't seem to harbor much hostility towards Qin Yu'er, which he could sense, but jealousy was a completely different matter.

Even Mu Nujiao, who are best friends, would get jealous of each other. But these words took on a different meaning for Qin Yu'er.

My man?
She was just lying in Lu Ran's arms, so is this woman giving her a verbal warning?
Qin Yu'er pursed her lips.

"I'm fine now." Qin Yu'er shook her head.

After saying that, Qin Yu'er gave a bitter smile:
"You shouldn't have saved me; you probably don't know what I went through."

Qin Yu'er recounted the power of the Holy Tribunal and her identity as a victim of the disaster without any concealment.

The reputation of the Chamber of Judgments is already deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Even a powerful being like her, who had suffered a calamity, could not escape the pursuit of the Inquisition.

She didn't want to harm Lu Ran and Mu Ningxue because of her.

Until this moment, she still believed that Lu Ran and Mu Ningxue were on their way to Tianshan for training and had found her by chance, and had kindly rescued her.

Unbeknownst to her, one of Lu Ran's purposes in coming to Tianshan was to save her.

Lu Ran did not interrupt, and listened quietly as Qin Yu'er finished speaking.

Beside her, Mu Ningxue glanced at Lu Ran, wanting to know his answer.

“Miss Qin, you may not know my identity well enough, which is why you have this concern.”

"Actually, as long as you don't go on a killing spree in human cities, you'll be fine once you get on my ship!" Lu Ran said calmly.

These words shocked Qin Yu'er!

"Could you be the son of some military leader?" Qin Yu'er asked tentatively.

"Pfft~"

Mu Ningxue couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Lu Ran's vision went black as he retorted, "Does being able to protect you in the country mean you have to be the son of some big shot?"

"Can't it be because I'm accomplished or have a high social status?"

Qin Yu'er fell silent.

Are there such people within the Kyushu region?

Keep in mind, she was a victim of the disaster.
Seeing Qin Yu'er's eyes gradually dim, Mu Ningxue vividly described to her a series of legendary events involving Lu Ran in China.

As Qin Yu'er listened to Mu Ningxue's story, her expression kept changing.

Puzzled, surprised, shocked, bewildered.
How did he do that?
Is he a freak?
It's hard to believe, but it seems to be true?
Otherwise, how could Lu Ran have freed her from the seal?
Seeing that the time was right, Lu Ran decisively extended an invitation, speaking with a hint of genuine emotion:
"Of course, if you feel bad about it and want to repay the favor, then come and help me."

"I intend to acquire a piece of land in the country to build up my power base. Your strength is quite impressive. Would you be willing to help me?"

Qin Yu'er was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes:
"Are you willing to accept me?"

Lu Ran nodded: "To me, this is just a small matter."

"On the contrary, I am the one who needs your help. I want to build a new force, and there will definitely be a lot of headaches that will happen. I may not be able to take care of these things, and I need you to take charge and manage them while you are in charge."

"Of course, that's on the premise that I trust you."

trust
Mu Ningxue, standing nearby, reminded her, "Sister Qin, you can take your time to think about it before we leave Tianshan."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu'er smiled slightly and replied firmly:

"No need to think about it anymore, I agree!"

"Boss, I should be thanking you for providing shelter for a homeless person like me."

With a touch of emotion and excitement, Qin Yu'er looked at Lu Ran with a hint of allure in her eyes.

She hid that hint of allure very well.

Even Lu Ran, with his powerful mental strength, didn't notice it for a moment.

Upon hearing the title "boss," Lu Ran paused for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Not bad, you have a good understanding. It seems you can become a very good manager without me having to train you much."
