Chapter 1609: Chapter 1239: A Woman of Hidden Depths

"Jiji!"

Seeing her beloved hit squarely by the fierce Flying Dragon Phantom, Luoh Yurou’s face turned pale instantly!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"..."

In the next moment, the blood-colored Flying Dragon Phantom passed through Li Ji’s body...

A series of Spirit Bodies flashed around Li Ji, then swiftly withdrew, merging back into Li Ji’s body...

A flash of red light, and the blood-colored Flying Dragon Phantom disappeared into Gu Changsheng’s raised hand...

In the hall, Li Ji remained expressionless, shielding Luoh Yurou in front of her, fearlessly looking up at Gu Changsheng, her wooden face surprisingly curved into a slight smile, speaking in a deep voice, "The might of Soul Refining Heavenly Punishment! Your Majesty, you’ve indeed been fortunate, seizing the very essence of heaven and earth for your own use! Li Ji is impressed!"

Li Ji’s voice was very low and very slow, almost bouncing out word by word, obviously someone who doesn’t enjoy speaking!

"Oh? You can actually see that?" Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng raised an intrigued eyebrow.

"Yes! Being able to forcibly expel Li Ji’s Spirit Body, apart from the might of Soul Refining Heavenly Punishment, Li Ji considers nothing else!" Nodding, Li Ji slowly spoke again.

As she spoke, a glint passed through Li Ji’s blank eyes, she looked at Gu Changsheng and spoke again, "Your Majesty, if Li Ji can see this, surely those of the Primordial Transformative Realm can too. Therefore, Your Majesty, if you can avoid using this power, it’s best not to use it. A trump card should always be kept for when it can truly unleash its power!"

"Hahaha... So you admit that you are a master of the Primordial Transformative Realm?" Hearing this, Gu Changsheng suddenly laughed, but in the next moment, his bright face turned exceedingly serious, looking at Li Ji, he spoke in a deep voice, "Li Ji, an esteemed master of the Primordial Transformative Realm, yet concealed beside Luoh Yurou, stooping to be a maid. Who exactly are you?"

In this world, masters of the Primordial Transformative Realm are as rare as phoenix feathers, and the opportunity for Conquest Realm is extraordinarily precious, Gu Changsheng understands better than anyone!

Luoh Yurou’s lover, this black-clad maid, turned out to be a master of the Primordial Transformative Realm; this surprised even Gu Changsheng. If not, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t have tested her just now!

"Your Majesty..." Seeing Gu Changsheng’s suspicion, Luoh Yurou couldn’t help but anxiously try to speak, but before she could finish, Li Ji raised her hand to interrupt...

Li Ji’s blank gaze turned exceptionally gentle when looking at Luoh Yurou, her whole persona became livelier, her voice no longer cold, becoming as soothing as a Spring Breeze, "Rourou, don’t worry, I’ll explain myself..."

After saying that, Li Ji turned back to face Gu Changsheng, resuming her cold, expressionless face, "Your Majesty need not doubt Li Ji, Li Ji is but an ordinary citizen of Liaodong, yet my family suffered calamity and was saved by Rourou, which roused in me the desire to learn martial arts and seek revenge..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, all her martial arts were taught by people Rourou arranged, this I can vouch for with my life! But her talent is exceptionally high, hence..." Luoh Yurou immediately spoke anxiously, a hint of worry in the gaze she cast at Gu Changsheng, fearing he would doubt her Jiji...

"Exceptionally talented..." Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Well, Luoh Yurou’s martial arts are there for show, at best, they could only serve her in self-defense among ordinary folks!

Gu Changsheng certainly wouldn’t assume that the masters Luoh Yurou arranged for Li Ji would be any better than those arranged for himself...

Yet, in the absence of a good master, Li Ji still managed to succeed in the Conquest Realm, this claim of exceptional talent truly infuriates all martial artists...

"Your Majesty, Rourou is determined to seek out the one her late mother loved, her desires are Li Ji’s desires! Your Majesty, if you doubt Li Ji, you can act. Once Li Ji’s family’s revenge is complete, all Li Ji’s cultivation served only to protect those around her. If Your Majesty is uneasy, feel free to remove it!" Li Ji looked at Gu Changsheng, her expression wooden, "Beside Your Majesty, Rourou will assuredly be safe, Li Ji has no worries, Your Majesty, act!"

With that, Li Ji opened her arms, the vulnerable spot of her body completely exposed...

Indeed, for a master of the Primordial Transformative Realm to appear unexpectedly, Gu Changsheng’s suspicion is understandable, and a claim of exceptional talent doesn’t sufficiently explain how an ordinary person without a good master achieved in the Conquest Realm. This explanation is too weak...

"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Luoh Yurou immediately became anxious.

Yan Qingcheng, who had stood quietly by the side, revealed a look of seriousness on his gentle and elegant face. After some thought, he stepped forward, cupping his hands in salute, "Your Majesty, when Li Ji was brought to the mansion by Rourou, she was a mere five or six-year-old child. Her background has been investigated by the Luoh Residence, and no issues were found! The martial master teaching Li Ji and Rourou, was personally bestowed by the Dowager Empress Xiao, Qingcheng can attest that she is indeed a person of clear identity, except..."

At this point, Yan Qingcheng paused, his expression turning sweaty, "It’s just that Qingcheng and the others have known since childhood that Li Ji is extraordinarily gifted in martial arts, but never imagined she’d be so gifted to this extent. If not for the trial by the Southern Emperor today, Qingcheng truly wouldn’t have known she was a master of the Primordial Transformative Realm..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, even Buer can prove it! Buer had countless fights with this Luoh Family girl and was always defeated by the girl’s maid. Thinking back now, damn it, it wasn’t a loss! Buer won’t bother with the Luoh Family girl anymore, her maid is just too formidable!" Wang Buer stepped forward with a twisted expression to say.

Gu Changsheng was nearly dizzy from Wang Buer’s maid’s words. Looking at the stoic Li Ji standing there awaiting judgment, and then at Wang Buer and the others, Gu Changsheng finally relaxed, raised a hand, rubbed her brow helplessly, and spoke naively...

"Damn it, you guys have prepared quite a trump card! If the Dowager Empress Xiao found out that you’ve been hiding a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm, who knows how delighted she’d be..."

As he said this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel conflicted inside!

Oh my god, this Li Ji, it’s as if a giant gift fell right out of the sky, smashing into Gu Changsheng’s head, leaving her quite taken aback!

A Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm, damn it!

Do you really think masters of this level are as common as cabbages?

Look across the world, besides those few around Gu Changsheng in the City Lord’s Mansion, how many can you pick out?

And yet...

This female friend of Luoh Yurou is actually a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm!

Oh my god, it’s simply unbelievable!

No wonder Luoh Yurou, being a noble lady, got involved with her personal maid. Gu Changsheng had to admit, Luoh Yurou had an eye for talent. She casually saved a stranded girl, and upon raising her, she turned into a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm!

Gu Changsheng was utterly impressed!

"Luoh Yurou..." So, the impressed Gu Changsheng then moved her gaze away from the cold Li Ji and looked towards Luoh Yurou, speaking naively, "If you have nothing better to do, go outside more often and pick up some stranded girls..."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Luoh Yurou was taken aback, asking with a face full of confusion, "Your Majesty, why should I pick up girls?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"What if the girls you pick up become another Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm?" Gu Changsheng replied without hesitation...

Luoh Yurou, upon hearing this, her cute face immediately blushed with embarrassment. She glanced at her lover in front of her and bashfully said, "Your Majesty... there’s no such good fortune. Jiji is one of a kind. To achieve what she has today, she has put in a lot, something ordinary people definitely couldn’t achieve..."

Ordinary people couldn’t achieve what Li Ji has?

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s lips twitched.

Damn it, even extraordinary people might not achieve what Li Ji has!

Right now, Gu Changsheng was extremely curious about Li Ji, but they were about to set off, and it wasn’t the time to dig too deeply. With a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm coming out of nowhere, for Gu Changsheng, it’s undoubtedly like a divine weapon descending from the sky, and she couldn’t come up with a reason to refuse bringing her along...

"Li Ji, for now, I won’t delve into your background. But going north with me, do you know the dangers involved? Even I must be completely vigilant. You, as a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm, have no reason to risk with me..." After pondering, Gu Changsheng spoke frankly to Li Ji.

At this moment, Wang Buer and Yan Qingcheng had been forgotten by Gu Changsheng, but it was Li Ji who made Gu Changsheng look with renewed respect.

A Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm!

Damn it, this is no joking matter!

Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, Li Ji glanced at Luoh Yurou beside her, then raised her head, looked at Gu Changsheng, and said in a deep voice, "Wherever Rourou is, that’s where Li Ji will be! Your Majesty has granted favor to Li Ji and Rourou, Li Ji owes a debt of gratitude to Your Majesty. Li Ji is a person who repays kindness! Rourou came here not without the intention of repaying her debt. If Your Majesty trusts me, Li Ji will definitely follow!"

As she spoke, Li Ji lowered her head!

Though her movements were wooden, her expression was particularly solemn.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but glance at her own evildoer.

Seeing Gu Changsheng looking over, Zhou Mu’s divine-like face flashed with understanding.

A hidden Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm in the common world, even aside from his little woman, even Zhou Mu felt a bit wary and suspicious in his heart!

However, at this moment, as they venture north, the outcome uncertain, having Li Ji by their side is like having wings added to a tiger...
