Chapter 396: It's Great to Have You!
Feeling a sudden stream of coolness surging inside his body, Ye Ling was slightly startled, somewhat puzzled, "Wife, what are you doing? Why are you helping me heal?"
"I don't know either, I just feel like your body seems very weak right now, and I don't want anything to happen to you!"
As Su Rou's voice fell, Ye Ling's Dantian, which had been nearly dried up, began to slowly trickle with streams of clear spring, instantly moisturizing his internal organs and restoring their normal function.
Sensing the abnormality inside his body, Ye Ling was also stunned, then burst into laughter, "Wife, your spiritual energy is way too strong, isn't it?"
After exterminating two major families in the imperial capital, Ye Ling's spiritual energy had barely recovered when he learned of Su Rou's danger and immediately rushed back without stopping.
His body, already nearly at its limit, had been overdrawn once more, but now Su Rou had actually transferred that cool stream of spiritual energy into him.
Ye Ling immediately understood that the cool stream was the wood element spiritual energy from within Su Rou!
And he had never expected that Su Rou's spiritual energy could actually restore his own!
If Su Rou's realm were even higher, Ye Ling could almost become an existence akin to a perpetual motion machine!
"Wife, it's so good to have you!"
Ye Ling held Su Rou tightly in his arms, took a deep breath, and the scent of her fragrance wafted from her body.
Feeling the elegant and delicate fragrance, the heat inside Ye Ling also somewhat subsided.
"Husband, I'm so glad I can help you!"
Su Rou looked up at Ye Ling, her face blushing, her beautiful eyes twinkling with a hint of brilliance, and her heart leaped for joy.
All along, she had felt deeply guilty for not being able to help Ye Ling, since her own cultivation strength simply couldn't provide him with much assistance.
But today, she had played a significant role in aiding Ye Ling, meaning he would have a powerful supporter on his path ahead.
The two were affectionate for a while, just about to freshen up when there came a knock at the door.
"Boss, there's someone outside, it's the Patriarch of the An Family from the imperial capital!"
"Hmm?" Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire
Hearing this, Ye Ling frowned, looked at Su Rou, and said, "Wife, I'll go check it out. You rest for a bit."
"Okay, husband, come back soon."
"Alright."
Ye Ling promised and then left the room to head to the reception room, indeed seeing the Patriarch of the An Family standing there.
Seeing Ye Ling, the Patriarch of the An Family hurried over, "Greetings to the Northern Liao King!"
"Patriarch An, there's no need for such formalities, what is your purpose in seeking me?" Ye Ling inquired indifferently.
A look of worry immediately appeared on Patriarch An's face, he shook his head and said, "I won't lie, my visit this time is to specifically plead for forgiveness."
"Oh? Plead for forgiveness? Patriarch An, what crime is there to speak of?" Ye Ling was somewhat surprised.
"Northern Liao King, you are unaware, but a major event has taken place in the imperial capital in recent days, and it involves our family, hence my personal visit to beg for mercy, hoping you can spare my An Family," the Patriarch of the An Family said.
"Tell me about it," Ye Ling said, drinking a cup of tea before him.
"Northern Liao King, it's like this: some days ago, a ninja from Wo Country suddenly broke into my home. He kidnapped my wife and children and blackmailed me, demanding that I oppose you!" the Patriarch of the An Family explained.
"And he also said that if I don't do as he says, he will kill everyone in my family, leading to the destruction of my family and death of its members. He even threatened the lives of my wife and child, which is why I hurriedly came to the imperial capital,"
As the Patriarch of the An Family spoke, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, deeply afraid of angering Ye Ling.
After hearing the Patriarch of the An Family's words, Ye Ling's expression immediately darkened; he had still underestimated the audacity of that Wo Country ninja!
He had not expected the reach of the Wo Country ninja to be so long. It seemed that there were many situations like that of the An family within the imperial capital.
"I won't lie to the Northern Liao King, under pressure, I agreed to the demands of that Wo Country ninja. He injected something into my men, and now they have completely lost consciousness, just like walking corpses!"
The Patriarch of the An Family spoke through gritted teeth, now fully realizing that the Wo Country ninja must be an extremely formidable character; otherwise, there would be no way he could have controlled his men.
"So it was the work of a Wo Country ninja. It seems I must resolve this matter as soon as possible," Ye Ling muttered to himself.
If this man were not dealt with, he would always be a disaster!
"Patriarch An, then what are your plans?"
Ye Ling pondered for a moment before asking.
"I want to ask the Northern Liao King for help, to save my wife and my son!"
When Ye Ling asked, the Patriarch of the An Family immediately knelt down, vigorously kowtowing several times on the ground, his face bearing a look of earnest pleading.
Ye Ling raised his eyebrows and spoke indifferently, "I'm curious, why didn't you agree to the Wo Country ninja's demands? Instead, you're asking for my help to get rid of him?"
Ye Ling's gaze stayed fixed on the Patriarch of the An Family, not missing any slight change in his expression, trying to discern some clues from his demeanor.
Upon hearing this, the Patriarch of the An Family's face changed slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face: "Wo Country people are not trustworthy!"
"Instead, I trust the character of the Northern Liao King more. After all, those who are not of our kin are sure to have different hearts. Now, when he needs me, he even kidnaps my wife and child. If he finally achieves his goal, he will definitely kick me aside, and by then, my wife and child will surely be killed!"
After the Patriarch of the An Family finished speaking, Ye Ling fell silent.
What the Patriarch of the An Family had said was indeed not false; if he didn't agree to the Wo Country ninja's terms, then the Wo Country ninja would surely harm the An family.
Even if they agreed to his demands, it was certain that the Patriarch's wife and child would be killed. After all, the character of Wo Country people was lacking to the core.
No, do Wo Country people even have character? Of course not!
Moreover, the words of the Patriarch of the An Family were not made up, as could be seen from his eyes.
"I can help you, but do you know the whereabouts of that Wo Country person?"
After thinking for a while, Ye Ling asked. If the Wo Country ninja was indeed in the imperial capital, finding him would not be easy, so Ye Ling needed to know his hiding place.
"I don't know, but I can contact him!"
When Ye Ling agreed, the Patriarch of the An Family nodded excitedly.
"That's good, then. First, contact that Wo Country ninja, and tell me the address and time of your meeting. I will personally take care of him!"
Ye Ling stood up slowly, patted the Patriarch of the An Family on the shoulder, his eyes filled with a fierce killing intent!
"Thank you for the help, Northern Liao King!" the Patriarch of the An Family quickly bowed deeply.
"There's no need for thanks. We'll leave it at that for now," Ye Ling said and then turned to leave the place.
