50. The Sixth Floor of the Shilian Tower

"Li Bao! Li Bao, how are you? How are you doing?" Ye Lan hugged Li Bao in a panic. Libao was struck to his original form with blood coughing up from his mouth. Holding Libao in her arms, Ye Lan flustered and reached for medicines in her personal space to stuff pills into Libao's mouth.

"Girl, don't be worried. Libao is fine. He was just slightly struck by the internal force. He is just fine. You better take advantage of Ho's daze to defeat him." the old man rushed out of Ye Lan's personal space to take Libao back with him. He said to Ye Lan, "Ho is the son of the dragon. But he was left unattended since a child, and he only had three dragon scales on his body that are unbreakable. So, you can hit him in the jaw to hurt him."

"Got it. Take care of Libao." condensing spiritual power between her hands, as her eyes were turning red; she was filled with killing intentions. The spiritual wings behind her exploded like a flying butterfly, flaming and gorgeous. Flexible with her movements, she arched a spiritual power ball and struck Ho in the jaw. Feeling the sudden pain, Ho took a few steps back, and his neck was twisted.

Shaking his head to regain his vision, he stared at Ye Lan in the air and suddenly flicked his tail towards her. Ye Lan reacted immediately, avoiding his tail by a backward turn. But the spiritual power infused on the tail hurt her. Ye Lan turned over to the top of the tower and bounced back, waving her spiritual sword non-stop toward his jaw. Her attacks resulted in real damage to Ho, leaving his jaw slushed up and badly wounded. Ho's blood was dripping onto the ground. Seeing Ho fainting from his severe injury, Ye Lan condensed a spirit cone and struck directly at Ho.

"Ahhhh!" Ho roared to the extreme pain. Feeling his life was in danger, he reacted and shook off Ye Lan right away. Ye Lan was thrown into the wall and fell down. Holding her back with her hands to ease the pain, Ye Lan frowned and looked up at Ho, "This should do it."

Mad by his injuries and pain, Ho was hitting and flapping toward all directions. Ye Lan dodged carefully. Ho's blood was swaying everywhere, spilled all over Ye Lan.

"Hiding is not the way." Ye Lan used all her force to arched a golden spiritual shield at her elixir field and uttered imprecations in silence, combining with rapid hand gestures. With her full force, she struck Ho.

Unfortunately, it didn't go as Ye Lan's plan. Ho was not killed by this blow, and he just staggered. Infuriated, with his last breath, Ho used his brute force to attack at Ye Lan with his huge claws. She was not afraid of his spiritual attacks, but she was terrified of his random attacks. She couldn't even hide from it.

Perversely, she was hit by Ho's attacks, flapping straightly toward the wall. She injured her lumbar spine. Twitching under the enormous pain, she couldn't get up on her feet. However, Ho rushed toward her just at this moment to step on her with his claws. Ye Lan couldn't move. She closed her eyes in this breath-taking moment, thinking that "this may be her last moment."

However, she felt she was lifted up from the ground the next second. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw him. It was him.

Ye Lan couldn't help to ask, "How come you are always the first man I see in distress?" Her voice was less fierce from her normal days due to her injuries. It was kind of cute. Feng Yi held her in his arms and smiled and seemed delighted.

"Who do you wish to see then?" Feng Yi was flirting with her while fighting with Ho. He was strong enough to face Ho.

This discovery of his power shocked her, "I am so weak compared with him. There are many gaps between our power!"

"Girl! What are you thinking? You cannot wander away at this moment!" Facing Ho's attacks, Feng Yi could still sense the inquiring looks from Ye Lan. He couldn't resist teasing her about it. "You can be like me someday. Finishing Ho is just a piece of cake for me. If you get jealous of my power this easily, you will regret it later."

Stunned by his teasing words, she withdrew her eyes from him. But she was embarrassed by her mistake and coughed awkwardly to conceal her uneasiness. Damn, she was taken advantage of by a man. Though it was only verbal teasing, she was still embarrassed by that.

"Ahhhhh!" Ho was completely irritated. At the time, he was already badly wounded by Ye Lan, and he utilized his utmost power to fight Ye Lan, wanting to make her suffer as well. However, this man jumped out of nowhere and interfered with his attacks. Ho was no match for Feng Yi even in his full strength, let alone badly wounded.

Ye Lan was badly injured. Cuddled in Feng Yi's arms, clinging onto his shirts, she just bit on her lips to endured the pain, refusing to complain about any of her sufferings, even though sweat was dripping down from her forehead.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you cry out when you are in pain?" Feng Yi was frowning even deeper. Damn it! Anger gradually appeared in his eyes. Ho was still struggling for his survival. Single-handedly, swaying his internal force, he created huge fire waves aiming at Ho. Feeling the heat waves, Ye Lan unconsciously hid from the heat, then bumped into Feng Yi's arms.

Trapped by the fire waves, Ho kept screaming and struggling. However, he was burned alive.

Outside the Shilian Tower, hearing the screaming of Ho, people could imagine how Ho was fighting for his life in the fire. Just through imagination, people were shivering by the thought of it. Seconds later, the smell of cooked meat spread across the tower. The smell was not too pleasant. Ye Lan couldn't bear the smell, and she vomited. Holding Ye Lan, Feng Yi opened the seventh floor. After they entered the seventh floor, the smell was blocked by the thick stone door, so Ye Lan could still breathe. She patted on her chest to sooth her nausea.

Entering the seventh floor, it was dim inside. Letting Ye Lan stand on her own, Feng Yi strode to the wall and pressed on something. Suddenly, the floor brightened up! Ye Lan saw him standing under a bright pearl, as confident and dazzling as he was. Charmed by him, she stood frozen for a few seconds, but she quickly regained her consciousness. She was the ace agent in the 21st century and was on the most wanted list of 38 countries. She had seen over a thousand good-looking men like this and dealt with more than a hundred. She had already grown immune to a man like him.

This kind of men constantly fell for pretty girls, most of which were just good-looking on the outside and empty-minded within. She should know better.

Feng Yi saw clearly the bright light in her eye shifted into greyish looks. He didn't know what happened, but he did not say anything.

Taking a few steps forward, Ye Lan suddenly stopped and looked up. The seventh floor was very normal, a square place with walls on both sides and a luminous pearl attached to it. There was also a large luminous pearl decorated on the ceiling. It was a real beauty.

Glittering, the whole seven floors were shined bright. Direct beneath the pearl was a table with a small box on it. With a novel appearance, the box was carved with weird patterns that nobody knew of.

"There weren't any guardian beasts here on this level?" Ye Lan doubted. Everything in here was too quiet, too quiet to be real.

"No!" Feng Yi told her firmly, and then turned to look at Ye Lan, "Are you scared? Being scared is reasonable, considering that you have been through so much."

"No, I am not." Ye Lan shook her head slightly, "I just feel the quietness is out of place."

"Hahaha!" Feng Yi smiled and reassured her, 'Relax, this is normal. This is the seventh floor of the tower. People know that no one can enter the seventh floor, but they don't know that beasts can't either!"

"Why? I thought the level here in the Shilian Tower is divided by the power of its guarding beasts?" Ye Lan was puzzled, and she asked. But maybe she was too eager to ask the question, she felt a sharp pain from her wounds, and she coughed, coughing out black blood.

"Be careful!" Feng Yi caught Ye Lan. He picked up Ye Lan from the ground into his arms, placed her in the center, and then sat with crossed legs. Forming his spiritual power in his palms, he started to heal her wound with his power. "I…"

Ye Lan's words were interrupted by Feng Yi. "Don’t say anything. Now is no time for thinking."

She had to stop her words to collect her thoughts. She felt a warming air brushing into her body, gentle and soothing, not rushing at all. She could feel her inside organs recovering with this gentle air. It was indeed comfortable.

Bringing his palms together, he condensed his power into a spiritual ball and slowly pushed it into her body. She was injured by Ho before, suffering damages all over her organs. She needed a large amount of spiritual power to heal.

What Feng Yi was doing now was to guide Ye Lan's infinite spiritual sea to self-examine. In this way, he could ensure that she could self-heal after injury even when he was not around. This was a very useful skill. She had already shown signs of this skill. For instance, she could move up to the next level after severe injuries. This was a kind of self-healing.

And what he needed to do now was to extend her self-healing capability to not only heal during a level promotion but also heal her normal injuries. Only in this way, he could rest assured.

Meanwhile, Ye Lan felt some other force coming from another source. It was the power of this tower. Such a powerful origin of the spiritual power, resonating with her infinite spiritual sea, as if two waves entangled. They even mingled together and fell down to her infinite spiritual sea, still roaring.

Sweat began to drip from Feng Yi's forehead. He knew he could only channel, not block right now. Both the power of Ye Lan and the origin of the spiritual power in this tower was far stronger than him. He could only channel the way for her powers and gradually calm them so as to put the power at ease. Feng Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "this girl looked thin. But how can she store such power?"

Ye Lan was also disturbed by this strength and refused to let go. She felt her body was almost going to explode. Finally, at the last minute, as Ye Lan yelled, she let out all her displeasures and also drained all her strength.
