The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 637 - 638: Do Not Give Up On Yourself

An ornamental fish species?

```

Thinking back to the Purple Demon Fish that had soared in from afar, Ye Xin still felt a chill in her heart.

If it hadn't been for Lin Qian's Execution Immortal Sword Array severely wounding the Purple Demon Fish with a heaven-shaking strike, it was likely that both of them would have died.

As a result, when the three elders returned, they actually told her that the fearsome, formidable fish was merely an ornamental fish species?

"We infer that inside that relic, within the other seals, there may also be living creatures," Fang Shuiwen said gravely, recalling the situation in the relic.

Mentioning this, Zhou Yi An and Yang Guixiang next to him also showed expressions of apprehension on their faces.

Originally, the relic was like a Small World, vast and boundless, with countless seals within it.

If behind those seals were creatures of the same kind as the Purple Demon Fish, once the seals were broken, it would be an unimaginable catastrophe for the entire Soul Martial Continent.

"We hurriedly left the relic, but unfortunately, the Array that sealed the entrance and exit was already broken, and it couldn't be resealed."

"We had planned to rest here for a while before making a decision, but we didn't expect that you would come here and even took care of the Purple Demon Fish."

Hearing this, Ye Xin also understood the gravity of the situation, just as Fang Shuiwen mentioned. If the creatures sealed in that relic really broke out, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"By the way, did the three elders see the condition of the exit cave on your way back? What is it like now?"

Ye Xin remembered that the exit had been sealed by something purple, preventing their escape.

It now seemed clear that the one sealing the exit was probably the Purple Demon Fish itself, in order to better devour everything in this underground world.

"It has disappeared, and we can leave at any time," Yang Guixiang nodded slightly and spoke to Ye Xin.

Ye Xin nodded after hearing this. "However, we should not leave now, Little Qian is gravely injured and unconscious. With the exit unsealed, the Wind Swift Clan will certainly make a move. Leaving rashly at this time will surely expose us, endangering Little Qian's safety."

"We'll stay here for the time being, at least until Little Qian wakes up." Looking at the three elders in front of her, Ye Xin spoke out, "During these days, the three elders must protect Little Qian's safety."

When she said this, Ye Xin's tone left no room for doubt. At this moment, she was not asking the three elders to protect Lin Qian, but commanding them!

In fact, Lin Qian's grave injury was clearly a result of his attempt to rescue the three elders in front of him.

The three elders were followers of Yun Fan, and even after coming to the Southern Domain, this fact did not change. Lin Qian could be said to be the young master of the three elders, and protecting the young master was their duty.

The three elders did not see any problems with Ye Xin's command, and nodded in agreement, saying, "It should be so."

After that, Ye Xin also promptly stood up and left the room. She wanted to stay by Lin Qian's side and silently guard him.

After Ye Xin had left, the three elders were silent. Eventually, it was Zhou Yi An who first spoke up, "The young master has found a remarkable woman, not just a pretty face."

"She doesn't know that we have sworn a demon oath to protect the young master to the death, and that it's normal for her to assert pressure," Fang Shuiwen said with a smile. "If the three of us had iniquitous hearts, now would indeed be the most dangerous time for the young master."

"She is strong. This action was just a warning to us not to make any rash moves that would sadden the young master, the master," Yang Guixiang said, with an expression of admiration. "In the future, the greatest support for the young master might just be this woman."

Ye Xin, who had left the room, took a deep breath and looked back at the buildings behind her, "I just hope the three of you don't do anything foolish."

Ye Xin must have then hurried back to the Green Spirit Clan grandfather's house and transferred Lin Qian to a new house next to where the three elders were temporarily staying.

The Green Spirit Clan's talent is the ability to control the growth of plants and accelerate their growth rate.

However, this talent has a significant drawback; while accelerating growth, it cannot completely increase their age, only forcibly maturing them outwardly.

Like this new house, it was crafted from Spirit Wood that Cuiyu manipulated to grow into a wooden house with her talent. It looked like century-old timber, but in reality, it was only sixteen years old.

Because Cuiyu was sixteen.

The imperfection referred to this: the plants that were accelerated might grow very tall and instantly reach a mature form, but their essence was not mature.

The number of years a plant could have depended on the age of the Green Spirit Clan member using the talent.

Moreover, the longer the accelerated years, the longer the intervals between the uses of the talent.

Like the patriarch of their settlement, who was already seven hundred years old, the plants he spurred to grow with his talent would have seven hundred years of age. However, to reach this level, it would require a hundred years of waiting before he could use the talent again.

Of course, if it was just a simple act of growing Spirit Wood, there was no such restriction. A Spirit Wood forest with a thirty-year growth span would arise spontaneously.

The Green Spirit Clan had a particular efficacy when it came to accelerating the growth of Spirit Wood, although they also tended to Spiritual Medicine, they paled in comparison to the Muling Clan.

The Muling Clan is capable of tending to thousands of medicines and plants.

"Indeed, it's a very comfortable feeling." Ye Xin gently placed Lin Qian on the bed and saw his previously furrowed brows relax, then turned to Cuiyu, "Compared to the outside world, the Spiritual Energy within this settlement is clearly fresher and purer."

"The Spirit Wood and Spiritual Medicine that our Green Spirit Clan accelerates, though they don't gain in years, seem to be able to filter out the impurities from the Spiritual Energy in the world, making it feel much more comfortable," Cuiyu said, her face showing a helpless expression as she spread her hands to Ye Xin. "But what use is that, sister? We're still a Lower-class Race."

"Besides, there is the Earth Spirit Clan; their talent is to make the soil softer and to distribute the spirit fertilizer evenly within the soil, nurturing Soul Beasts that are plump and taste good."

"The Muling Clan, the Green Spirit Clan, and the Earth Spirit Clan, we three Lower-class Races, in the eyes of the Wind Swift Clan, are just meant to cultivate fields and raise Soul Beasts for food."

"Sister, you are from the Human Clan with a Martial Soul and such great combat power; if we consider that, you are also an Upper-class Race. How nice."

Seeing the look in Cuiyu's eyes, Ye Xin's heart trembled; the other party was not jealous, not resentful, but simply admired her while feeling very inferior.

After a moment of silence, Ye Xin put her right hand on Cuiyu's shoulder and softly said, "You know, my husband is a ruler of an Empire, more prestigious than the Emperor, more noble than the Emperor. He once told his subjects a sentence."

"'Regardless of the height of one's talent, never give up on oneself!'"
