Xianxia: The Sect Master Is My Girlfriend

Five hundred miles outside of Five Yang City.

In a small village nestled in a mountain hollow, inside a secluded house.

Li Ran slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the thatched roof above, he stayed still for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’m not dead!?”

He himself knows how terrifying a collapsing secret realm is.

It’s like being sucked into a black hole.

He exerted all his strength to activate all of his abilities, depleting all his spiritual energy, even using the Heaven-Seizing Art to absorb and supply energy at the same time.

That’s how he barely held on.

But because of the extreme overload, he fell into a coma.

“I wonder how long I’ve been unconscious…”

Li Ran tried to sit up, but his right hand was pinned down and couldn’t be lifted for a moment.

He turned his head and was instantly stunned.

He saw Yue Jianli sleeping soundly by his side.

And from the look of it, this girl is a hugger in her sleep, considering she’s hugging his arm tightly and placing it between her huge mountain peak.

Her fair and delicate profile looked beautiful and dreamy in the sunlight, with a faint blush pressed against her cheek, adding a touch of genuine cuteness to her.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a few strands of hair scattered on her white-as-jade face.

Right now, Yue Jianli is like one of those award winning anime fanart that he had often seen in his past life.

Li Ran swallowed, and thought, ‘She’s actually quite pretty when she’s not wielding a sword…’

He tried to quietly withdraw his hand, but Yue Jianli unconsciously murmured and hugged him tighter.

“Kuh!”

Damn it all! Her breast felt really soft!

He took a deep breath and exerted a bit more force.

“Hmm?”

Feeling the movement in her arms, Yue Jianli drowsily opened her eyes.

Li Ran froze his body, not looking away nor moving an inch. He once read that apex predators use movement as their perception, so if you don’t move at all, they can’t see you.

Unfortunately, such an act only works on dinosaurs, not on young girls.

“You’re awake?”

A hint of joy flashed in Yue Jianli’s eyes, relieved that Li Ran is not dead, then, as if just now realizing the way she hugged his arm into her bosom, she suddenly sat up quickly, heat rising out of her ear.

Li Ran silently cradled his still-warm arm.

The air quieted down, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward for a moment.

“Ahem—”

Li Ran cleared his throat and asked, “Where are we?”

“Ummm… This place is called Yunxiao Village. I was worried that with your identity entering Five Yang City, it might cause unnecessary trouble, so I temporarily settled you here,” Yue Jianli replied.

Li Ran nodded. “How long have I been unconscious?”

“3 Days.”

“That long?”

Li Ran rubbed his head.

This time, his journey in the secret realm was really dangerous.

Although the opportunity for enlightenment was tempting, it often came with great risks.

Despite all of his treasures and abilities, he barely managed to escape alive. If it were another Golden Core Realm cultivator, they might have ended up as a corpse by now.

But the rewards he obtained this time were plentiful, which made the risk worthwhile.

Golden Light Thunderous Wrath.

Miragefree Sight.

Blazing Sky Flame.

And a bunch of immortal materials and spiritual herbs in his storage ring.

With the rewards from the system and the harvest from the secret realm, Li Ran’s strength had undergone a qualitative leap!

He tried to get up from the bed, but suddenly he hissed in pain, his brows furrowing tightly.

He felt like his meridians were tangled up, and he couldn’t use any strength at all, despite the pain.

Yue Jianli took a pillow and placed it behind him. “Your meridians are in a mess due to the overload of spiritual energy. It will take some time to slowly sort them out. It’s not something that can be rushed.”

“Thank you,” Li Ran said.

Yue Jianli shook her head and said seriously, “It’s me who should thank you. Thank you for not leaving me behind, otherwise, I would have long turned into nothingness.”

She would never forget the scene of that golden giant holding up the sky.

Li Ran could have escaped on his own, but he chose to spend more effort and endanger himself so he could escape together with her.

If he were to leave all by himself, his injury might not have been so severe.

Li Ran shook his head. “It’s just a small thing, no need to thank me. And besides, this might… have been caused by me.”

“Caused by you? What do you mean?” Yue Jianli asked, puzzled.

Li Ran explained, “The existence of the secret realm is to find those who are destined to receive the inheritance of the Immortal Emperor. We ultimately obtained the inheritance. But instead of safely sending us away, the secret realm collapsed. Don’t you find it strange?”

“Well…”

That was also puzzling to Yue Jianli.

The last scene seemed like it wanted to bury one of them.

That wasn’t the treatment the one chosen of the Immortal Emperor should receive.

“Are you suggesting…”

Li Ran snorted coldly. “It’s all because of what I did at the stairway, I didn’t kneel to him when it appeared, so it wanted me dead!”

The final collapse was clearly the work of that strand of the giant figure of the Immortal Emperor.

It couldn’t stop Li Ran from obtaining the inheritance, but it could use loopholes in the rules to make Li Ran die at the last moment!

Unfortunately, Li Ran was fine, but it vanished along with the secret realm.

“I see!”

Yue Jianli suddenly realized.

If that was the case, then it all made sense.

Li Ran chuckled coldly. “Arrogant fucker, trying to take me down with it? Dream on!”

He spoke too forcefully, aggravating his injuries, and he started coughing violently.

Yue Jianli chuckled. “Alright, I know you’re tough. Just rest up for now.”

She got up and left.

After a while, she came back with a bowl of medicinal soup.

“This is a medicinal soup I brewed using the medical pills that I have. Here, take a drink.”

“You brewed medicinal soup for me?”

Li Ran was startled.

Looking at the murky soup in the bowl, he cautiously asked, “You didn’t poison it, did you?”
