Bai Shou glanced at the Crown Prince lying on the ground before him, then looked at Ye Ling, and asked with a trembling voice, "Grand Tutor, what happened?"
Ye Ling walked forward, took the Essence Continuation Jade Paste from Bai Shou's hand, and chuckled, "Nothing much, just teaching the Crown Prince some cultivation."
"This is teaching the Crown Prince cultivation?" Bai Shou was somewhat bewildered, looking at the Crown Prince's face, which was swollen like a pig's head, and couldn't process it.
What kind of cultivation was this?
It was known that the Crown Prince was the son of the Dragon Emperor and deeply favored by the National Master. One could say that the two most powerful individuals in the Myriad Beasts Country were the Crown Prince's backing.
Across the entire Beast Continent, besides the Dragon Emperor and the National Master, not a single person could be found who dared to speak harshly to the Crown Prince, let alone dare to lay a hand on him.
And now... Ye Ling had just slapped the Crown Prince severely. This was truly...
Bai Shou didn't dare to imagine how furious the Dragon Emperor and the National Master would be when they found out about this!
Although Ye Ling's slap landed on the Crown Prince's face, it was, in reality, a slap to the faces of the Dragon Emperor and the National Master.
"You, you scoundrel, you actually have some skill!"
The Crown Prince staggered to his feet, spat out two bloody teeth, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared directly at Ye Ling, his eyes gleaming. He chuckled, "This Crown Prince admits, you're quite interesting!"
"Oh? You want to continue?"
Seeing that the Crown Prince could still stand and held no hatred towards him, Ye Ling was somewhat surprised.
He had thought this Crown Prince was just a spoiled brat, but from his current demeanor, he seemed to have misjudged him.
The Crown Prince was different from what he had imagined.
"I won't fight anymore!"
The Crown Prince shook his head repeatedly, then said to Ye Ling, "I admit you are qualified to be my master. Wait for me in the residence, I'll come to seek your tutelage shortly!"
With that, the Crown Prince, clutching his swollen face, limped away.
"Your Highness!" Bai Shou quickly stepped forward, wanting to offer support.
"Don't touch me! I can go back by myself!"
The Crown Prince pushed Bai Shou's hand away, hesitated for a moment, then instructed Bai Shou, "Go and call an imperial physician for me."
"Yes." Bai Shou dared not delay, bowed quickly, and watched the Crown Prince leave alone.
Watching the Crown Prince's retreating back, the World Annihilating Spirit Fire said to Ye Ling, "Kid, do you think this Crown Prince might be a masochist? How come his attitude towards you improved after you slapped him?"
"Who knows? Let's not bother with him and focus on saving Tian Xing first."
Ye Ling chuckled and walked into the residence with the Essence Continuation Jade Paste. He cleared a space in the courtyard and brought out the severely injured Tian Xing.
As Tian Xing was released from Ye Ling's small world, the pressure in the courtyard instantly intensified. Even Bai Shou and Hei Quan's faces turned pale, finding it difficult to withstand Tian Xing's aura.
The severely injured Tian Xing could not control her aura at all.
"Brother Bai, Brother Hei, you've worked hard today. Please go back and rest." After releasing Tian Xing, Ye Ling bowed slightly to Bai Shou and Hei Quan.
Seeing Ye Ling's dismissal, Bai Shou and Hei Quan did not linger to embarrass themselves. They bowed to Ye Ling and respectfully said, "Grand Tutor, we brothers also live in the palace, not far from you. If you need anything, feel free to call us anytime."
"We won't disturb you further."
With that, Bai Shou and Hei Quan vanished from their spots, leaving only Ye Ling, the World Annihilating Spirit Fire, and Tian Xing lying in the center of the courtyard in the vast space.
"World Annihilating Spirit Fire, help me guard this place. Don't let anyone in."
Ye Ling walked to the unconscious Tian Xing, lifted her with his spiritual energy, and said to the World Annihilating Spirit Fire.
"Alright!"
The World Annihilating Spirit Fire did not hesitate. It directly raised a fiery barrier around the courtyard, completely separating the inside from the outside, preventing any prying eyes from seeing anything within the barrier.
"Kid, I'm done here. You can start now," the World Annihilating Spirit Fire transmitted to Ye Ling after setting up the barrier outside the courtyard.
"Mm."
Ye Ling nodded slightly, removed Tian Xing's clothes, and applied the Essence Continuation Jade Paste to her wounds.
The moment Tian Xing's wounds came into contact with the Essence Continuation Jade Paste, they began to heal at a visible rate. Even the sword fiend qi that had invaded Tian Xing's bone marrow and soul vanished under the powerful medicinal effects of the paste!
Tian Xing's weak aura began to recover!
"It works!"
Seeing the changes in Tian Xing's body, Ye Ling's eyes lit up, and he immediately accelerated the application of the paste.
Soon, the wounds on Tian Xing's body disappeared, and her skin became flawless once more, as white as congealed fat!
As if it could be broken by a gentle touch.
The World Annihilating Spirit Fire, guarding outside the barrier, sensed Tian Xing's rapidly recovering aura and exclaimed, "Holy crap! How is this Essence Continuation Jade Paste so potent? Tian Xing recovered just like that?"
"The medicinal effect is indeed far beyond my imagination. I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect that only half of the Essence Continuation Jade Paste was needed to heal Tian Xing."
Ye Ling also sighed. He then used runes to conjure a set of purple robes for Tian Xing and placed her back on the ground.
"World Annihilating Spirit Fire, remove the barrier."
"Okay!" The World Annihilating Spirit Fire quickly retracted the barrier it had set up around the area and returned to Ye Ling's wrist, curiously observing Tian Xing, whose aura had now recovered.
Not long after, Tian Xing slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Ye Ling before her, her expression immediately changed. She quickly got up and exclaimed, "You escape first! I'll hold back that supreme expert for you!"
However, when Tian Xing saw the unfamiliar surroundings, she was stunned and looked at Ye Ling in confusion, "Ye Ling? Where am I?"
Her memory was still stuck at the moment she was pierced through the heart by Jian Shi San's sword. Now, finding herself in this unfamiliar luxurious residence, she was still a bit disoriented.
Seeing Tian Xing awake, Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled, "It's good that you're alright. A lot has happened while you were unconscious. I'll tell you everything slowly once you've recovered."
"Okay."
Tian Xing didn't ask many questions. She quickly suppressed her aura and then curiously observed the unfamiliar surroundings, murmuring, "This... seems to be the imperial palace?"
Ye Ling smiled and said, "Yes... this is the capital of the Myriad Beasts Sect in the Beast Continent. Their sect exists as a country in the Beast Continent, and their sect leader, the Dragon Emperor, is a supreme expert."
"Tian Xing, your quick recovery is thanks to the Essence Continuation Jade Paste given to us by the Dragon Emperor."
"So, I should thank the Dragon Emperor properly?" Tian Xing chuckled.
"That's not necessary. I promised the Dragon Emperor that I would be his son's master. I'll repay the favor of the Essence Continuation Jade Paste for you." Ye Ling replied.
"Then I must thank you properly."
Tian Xing smiled lightly, glanced at her new clothes, and then asked Ye Ling, "Did you apply the medicine to me? Did you see my whole body?"
"This..." Ye Ling's face suddenly turned red, and he became somewhat embarrassed.
"Hahaha! Our Emperor Ancestor is actually blushing, how rare!" Tian Xing teased with a laugh. "I thought you wouldn't care about such things."
"Cough cough! Since you can joke around now, it means you've almost recovered. Let me tell you what has happened during this period."
Ye Ling coughed twice, composed himself, and was about to explain the situation in the Upper Realm of Essence and their current predicament to Tian Xing.
At this moment, a loud voice from the Crown Prince suddenly echoed from outside the courtyard.
"Master, I've come to seek your tutelage!"
