Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 922 - 925: She Has Already Fallen In Love with You
"I heard Grandpa Guo Xiao mention that you plan to enter the Forbidden Land?"
After a long silence, Guo Fanghua calmed her thoughts and asked softly.
"Uh… uh... uh..."
Xia Liu was somewhat taken aback. He hadn’t expected Guo Fanghua to come looking for him about this matter.
"Yes, it’s possible that what I need is inside the Forbidden Land, so I’d like to try."
"Do you know that Little Man has already fallen in love with you?"
"This…"
Xia Liu was at a loss for how to respond to Guo Fanghua. Wasn’t this a completely separate matter?
"From ancient times until now, no one has ever entered the Guo Family’s Forbidden Land, except for the ancestors who set up the Formation."
Guo Fanghua didn’t want her daughter to spend her future consumed by despair.
As a mother, she understood Guo Man’s personality thoroughly.
She rarely grew fond of anyone.
Once affection turned into love, it consumed her like an obsession, leaving no space in her heart for another man, aside from family.
The situation had already solidified; her daughter would likely never forget Xia Liu in this lifetime.
If something were to happen to Xia Liu within the Forbidden Land, her daughter might fall into depression—
It might last a year, five years, or even forever.
Guo Fanghua couldn’t bear to see her daughter in such a state; it would be more painful than her own death.
So, before Xia Liu set off for the Forbidden Land, she wanted to persuade him.
Perhaps she could stop him.
"Thank you for your concern, Madam Guo, but I promise to return alive and give Little Man a proper explanation."
Xia Liu more or less understood.
Yet he had no path of retreat.
He had plotted for so long and hurt so many people.
If he retreated, countless hopes would be shattered.
Thus, he had to succeed.
"Sigh, since you’re determined to go, I won’t say more. Please cherish your life; you’re no longer just one person."
Guo Fanghua no longer knew how to persuade him.
The strength Xia Liu exhibited surpassed even the ancestors of the Guo Family.
Perhaps he might really reach the Forbidden Land.
"Yes, I understand."
Xia Liu was certainly not alone.
Behind him lay immense responsibility and duty.
He valued his life more than anyone.
"How is Little Man doing?"
As Guo Fanghua was about to leave, Xia Liu asked quietly.
Guo Fanghua stopped in her tracks, her body trembled slightly, and eventually, with a sigh, she looked back and said, "Little Man is fine, her emotions have stabilized. Thank you, Chief Xia, for your concern."
"I see."
Xia Liu nodded, as long as her mood was stable. Only then would he have an opportunity later to apologize and explain.
Watching Guo Fanghua depart, Xia Liu returned to the second floor.
His hands formed seals, and the Five Elements Mantra began to circulate. Nature’s spiritual energy seeped continuously into his body through his meridians.
Within the Guo Family’s Spirit Formation, the concentration of nature’s spiritual energy was terrifying compared to the outside world.
Xia Liu did not waste such an invaluable opportunity, continuously deepening his cultivation.
Earlier, he dared to tear open the Sealing precisely because of the overwhelmingly dense nature’s spiritual energy within the Guo Family’s Clan Protection Spirit Formation.
This allowed him to absorb nature’s spiritual energy incessantly to suppress the Demon Thought within his Divine Sense. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
The waning crescent moon transitioned to a blazing sun; the sky turned dark again.
At the courtyard entrance, a petite figure trembled slightly as she looked around.
Having accepted Xia Liu’s orders yesterday, Ya’er worked hard to complete her task; now she came to report back to Xia Liu.
"Ya’er, come in."
As Spirit Sound echoed within Ya’er’s mind, the courtyard gate slowly opened to the side.
Ya’er was naturally astonished, but she had already mentally prepared herself.
Guo Po had also instructed her that no matter what Xia Liu wanted to do, she should fulfill it—even if...
Shivering, Ya’er opened the courtyard gate and saw Xia Liu sitting beside a pile of roaring flames.
Approaching him and feeling the warmth from the flames, Ya’er’s heart softened slightly.
"Ya’er, how is Miss Guo Man’s condition?"
"Sister Guo Man is not eating or drinking these days. It seems she’s seriously ill, staying in her room and refusing to see anyone."
"Oh? Did you go inside to check on her?"
Xia Liu clenched his fists tightly. As expected, Guo Fanghua had withheld the truth from him.
"I went inside to bring her water and did see her."
"Mm, please tell me."
"She was sitting in a chair, her gaze dull, as if blind—completely unresponsive to people passing by..."
Ya’er then recounted everything she had witnessed to Xia Liu.
Ten minutes later, after sending Ya’er away, Xia Liu returned to the fire and sat down beside it. His eyes burned fiercely.
A pure girl had been destroyed by him.
"Xia Liu, oh Xia Liu, you’ve made a terrible mistake, such a terrible mistake."
Xia Liu mocked himself repeatedly, his bitter laughter saturated with anguish.
If only time could go back.
He would rather have chosen not to meet Guo Man.
Even upon meeting, he would directly reveal his identity.
Such a way of parting left too much pain behind.
"Perhaps only the Spirit Fruit of Youth Preserving can make up for some of my mistakes."
Xia Liu had already decided.
As soon as he acquired the Youth Preserving Pill, he’d offer it to Guo Man and Guo Fanghua as compensation for his failures.
Even though it seemed insignificant, he knew that in the future he would surely provide more—much more.
If it were still the Cultivator Era or Warrior Era, Xia Liu’s thoughts would spark outrage if they spread.
Countless top Venerable Ones would come after him.
Youth Preserving Pill.
No matter the era, it was an exceedingly rare treasure.
Back in the Cultivator Era, several Foundation Establishment cultivators fought tooth and nail over a single Youth Preserving Pill, their conflicts turning the skies upside down.
Eventually, the sect Elders got wind of the matter, and both sides engaged in battle.
Likewise, for that single Youth Preserving Pill.
One could imagine the immense allure of such a divine pill.
At present, it garnered less attention simply because no one had such ambitions.
But if a Youth Preserving Pill truly appeared in the Warrior Realm—
A new seismic upheaval would undoubtedly ensue within the Warrior Realm.
At dawn, Xia Liu opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid spiritual energy.
His movement technique flickered with power, and in less than a minute, he was already in the tea hall from a few days ago.
Guo Po and others had already sensed his formidable energy while Xia Liu was activating his movement technique.
In no time, three Innate Experts, along with Grandpa Guo Xiao, arrived in the hall.
"Chief Xia, what is your intention?"
Looking at the silhouette standing in the hall with arms crossed, Guo Po asked.
"Today, I shall enter the Guo Family’s Forbidden Land."
Slowly turning around, Xia Liu radiated a powerful aura of self-assurance.
The surrounding martial artists quivered instinctively.
To enter the Forbidden Land!
The place where a dozen Innate Warriors had been buried.
For hundreds of years, no one in the Guo Family had dared step within the Forbidden Land—today, a change was finally coming!
"What preparations does Chief Xia need? We shall do everything to fulfill them."
"No need, just lead the way."
"Understood!"
Without further ado, Guo Po began leading Xia Liu from the front.
Meanwhile, the martial artists outside had all heard Xia Liu’s declaration.
In no time, news of Xia Liu venturing into the Forbidden Land spread across the entire Guo Family. Even the youngest children dropped their bowls and chopsticks to follow their elders toward the rear mountain...
