As L spoke, he ced his hand on Adele’s back and began to use the Dragon’s Energy Primordial Technique on her.


    Adele was initially startled, feeling L’s hand on her body, and wondered what he was up to. But then she thought, in order to survive, she had already offered to be hispanion. Whatever he wanted to do, let him do it! But considering her severe injuries, was this really appropriate?


    However, her expression soon turned to one of astonishment. She felt a pure life energy flowing into her body, activating her innate vitality. The two energies merged and immediately began to heal her near-fatal injuries.


    Adele’s eyes sparkled with surprise and joy. In just a few minutes, she felt herself pulled back from the brink of death. Although still severely injured, she was no longer at risk of dying. At this rate, she estimated that in half an hour, her injuries would be partially healed, perhaps even enough to continue fighting.


    L’s healing technique amazed Adele. No wonder he always imed that as long as she couldn’t kill him, he could oust her. With such powerful healing abilities, he was practically indestructible!


    As Adele enjoyed thefort of L’s treatment, his hand suddenly left her body, leaving her feeling an inexplicable sense of loss and longing.


    “You… continue? I’m not fully healed yet,” the usuallyposed and ethereal fairy said with a hint of reluctance, looking at L as if pleading.


    L rolled his eyes and replied irritably, “Continue what? Do you think I’m going topletely heal you? As long as you don’t die, that’s enough! If I heal youpletely, you’ll just continue fighting me.”


    The Fire God Sword and Immortal Grade Golden Bell still bore Adele’s soul imprints. If she were fully healed, she might reim them and resume their battle. His divine body technique was still in its cooldown period; if that happened, he’d be the one running away.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    “I’m not that foolish!” L added.


    “You…” Adele’s expression froze at his words. She nced at him with a mix of speechlessness and resentment, mocking him, “You really are clever!”


    “Not bad! Enough talk, get on with it!” L nodded and urged impatiently.


    Gritting her teeth with a mix of reluctance and frustration, Adele removed her soul imprints from the Fire God Sword and Immortal Grade Golden Bell. L stored them in his wrist space with satisfaction and smiled at Adele. “Smart choice! Next time you see me, drop that arrogant act or I’ll beat you every time!”


    With that, L took out the Fire God Sword and tried to channel his energy into it for flight. However, his awkward attemptscked the grace and beauty of Adele’s sword-flying technique, making him look like he could fall at any moment.


    Watching him leave, Adele sat there grinding her teeth. She wasn’t sure whether to hate or thank L-for nearly killing her or for sparing her life? Her feelings towards him were conflicted. One thing was certain: she decided not to trouble him again in the future.


    …


    The next day, L apanied Gerard and a few of his men in a carriage heading towards the Merton mountain range. This range was called Myriad Mountain; its peaks weren’t sharp or steep but rather resembled oval-shaped huts, hence the name.


    In the carriage, Gerard shared what he had heard about an ancient tomb in the area with L. ording to Gerard, this tomb was over three thousand years old, dating back to the Shang-Zhou period and possibly belonging to Spike Keller.


    “Spike Keller’s tomb? Haha, aren’t there several supposed tombs of Spike Keller?” Lughed dismissively.


    Spike Keller was a legendary figure in Priocia’s history. Several tombs had been discovered over the years iming to be his, but their authenticity remained uncertain.


    “My friend from the Mountain Moving Sect believes this one might be genuine because it supposedly contains a Fortune-Altering Divine Object. This artifact is said to be incredibly powerful, capable of influencing the fate of nations. It was rumored that Spike Keller used it to overthrow the Shang dynasty and help establish the Zhou dynasty. If this artifact is indeed inside, then this must be Spike Keller’s true tomb. Such an item would be priceless. No one would sell it for any amount of money,” Gerard said with fervent eyes.


    “A Fortune-Altering Divine Object? Interesting!” L raised an eyebrow, intrigued. Though intangible, he knew luck and fate were real forces. If such an artifact existed, he certainly wanted it. But for now, his priority was keeping Gerard safe.


    L could still see the ominous blood-red aura around Gerard’s head, indicating impending disaster.
