"I guess I made the right bet!"
Qin Luo exclaimed excitedly in his heart, it seemed that God was also looking out for him. Coming back to his senses, he looked at the four options but did not rush to choose. Instead, he saved them for the next simulation.
Then he looked at the pill that had suddenly appeared in the system space, emitting a bright green light. But when Qin Luo looked closely, he found that the pill was covered with some black patterns. Presumably, this pill would have great side effects if taken.
But the current situation doesn't allow him to remain indecisive. He only has one day left, and if he can't persuade Xia Zihan to take the Pulse Restoration Pill, he'll probably still face certain death.
Thinking of this, Qin Luo began to recall the scenes of her emotional fluctuations in the simulation. After thinking it over, he realized that she had only shown a slight fluctuation when he told the village story and when she finally died. So he had no choice but to start from the villagers.
He then took a deep breath to calm himself down, and walked up to Xia Zihan and said softly:
"Haven't you ever thought about escaping?"
Just as he had imagined, Xia Zihan showed no emotion whatsoever in her eyes.
"Does Your Excellency know the purpose of those men in black? I think they seem to be looking for something or someone."
Qin Luo did not give up and continued to persuade her. This time, Xia Zihan's eyes flickered for a moment after hearing his words, but quickly dimmed again.
"Does Your Excellency know what will happen to us if those men in black find what they need? I think they will most likely kill us to silence us!"
"A group of people who can arbitrarily invade other people's homes, what else do you think they wouldn't do!"
At this point, Qin Luo's tone began to turn somewhat cold, as if such an outcome was bound to happen in the near future.
Xia Zihan finally raised her head to look at Qin Luo, but after realizing that he was a mortal, she lowered her head again, though a soft, feminine voice still escaped her lips.
"So what? What's the use of you, a mere mortal, worrying about things that are bound to happen? It only adds to your troubles."
Qin Luo's lips curled up upon hearing this; after talking for so long, this cold mermaid had finally taken the bait.
"I am indeed a mortal, but I can tell that you are not a mortal. The long and powerful aura emanating from you is definitely not something an ordinary person can possess."
"Heh." Xia Zihan snorted coldly in response. She thought this man had great ambitions, but it turned out he was pinning his hopes on her. If she still had her cultivation, she wouldn't have fallen to such a state.
"I can see that you seem to have suffered serious injuries and your cultivation has been completely destroyed, but what if I told you I have a way to restore your cultivation completely?" Qin Luo couldn't possibly see her true injuries; he had made them up based on the system's prompts, but they were pretty close to the truth.
Are you really serious?
Xia Zihan slowly raised her head to look at Qin Luo. She knew what would happen to these people after she was recognized, but she was helpless. Without any cultivation, she would probably only be captured by them in the end, and then...
"It depends on whether you want to escape. Let me make this clear first: if you agree, you must take me out and protect me, and you must not lay a hand on me."
Seeing his cautious demeanor, Xia Zihan felt even more contempt for him. However, in order to escape, she still made a vow to heaven and earth. If she broke this vow, she would develop a terrifying inner demon, which would make her future cultivation path extremely difficult.
Seeing this, Qin Luo also took out a bright green pill from his sleeve. Although there were some black patterns scattered on the pill, the powerful vitality it emitted still made people feel cool.
"The Pulse-Restoring Pill!"
Xia Zihan looked at the pill in his hand with a serious expression. She naturally recognized the pill.
The Restoration Meridian Pill is a fourth-grade elixir. It can repair damaged meridians and allow those whose cultivation has been destroyed to regain some of their power for a short period of time, but the effect is limited in duration. Moreover, after a certain period, the cultivator's cultivation will dissipate completely, and the meridians in the body will become severely blocked, making it more than twice as difficult for the consumer to cultivate again.
"Have you made up your mind?"
Qin Luo handed the pill to her and said.
Xia Zihan looked up at the Rejuvenating Pill in his hand, her eyes filled with determination. She then slowly stood up, took the pill from his hand, and swallowed it in one gulp.
After taking the pill, Xia Zihan instantly felt a powerful force surging in her dantian. She closed her eyes tightly, focusing all her energy on guiding this force to repair her damaged meridians. A faint glow gradually emanated from her body. A moment later, Xia Zihan opened her eyes, a sharp glint in them.
"It's a pity it's a low-grade Restoration Pill, so the spiritual energy it restores is limited, less than one percent of its original level. But it's still enough to leave this place."
Xia Zihan thought with some regret.
At this time, a series of announcements were also sent out from the system.
[Xia Zihan has temporarily recovered her cultivation to the first stage of the Spirit Vortex Realm (1%). Based on her current affection level for the host (0), the return reward will be randomly distributed between 1 and 5 times the base amount.]
