Jiang Luoli's shocked expression at this moment was incredibly cute.
Her twin ponytails behind her head stood up as if she had just been startled.
"This… this isn't a dream, Xiaoyao Gege, is it really you?"
Jiang Luoli subconsciously reached out her small hand and stroked Jun Xiaoyao's chest.
Her heart pounded fiercely.
A dream couldn't be this real.
Jiang Luoli was completely bewildered; she never expected Jun Xiaoyao to specifically come looking for her.
The Life and Death Gate was not something just anyone had the courage to enter.
Yet, Jun Xiaoyao entered without hesitation to find her, which was enough to prove that she still held a significant place in Jun Xiaoyao's heart.
"Am I a fake person standing in front of you?" Jun Xiaoyao chuckled softly.
"Wuwu, Xiaoyao Gege…"
Jiang Luoli, like a swallow returning to its nest, instantly threw herself into Jun Xiaoyao's embrace, sobbing softly.
Heaven knew how many setbacks and grievances she had endured, training alone on the Ultimate Ancient Road.
But to become stronger, to keep up with Jun Xiaoyao's pace, and to avoid troubling him, Jiang Luoli had always gritted her teeth and endured it herself.
She would rather plunge into the extremely dangerous Life and Death Gate than cause Jun Xiaoyao even a little trouble.
But now, all that pent-up grievance vanished with Jun Xiaoyao's arrival.
Jun Xiaoyao cared about her.
He even came specifically to find her.
"Don't cry, didn't I come?" Jun Xiaoyao patted Jiang Luoli's delicate back.
Jiang Luoli's arms were still tightly wrapped around Jun Xiaoyao's waist.
Because of the height difference, her head could only rest against Jun Xiaoyao's chest, creating the cutest height gap.
However, this made Jiang Luoli feel incredibly secure.
"Sister Shengyi was so worried when she knew you entered the Life and Death Gate; now it seems that worry was unnecessary," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Hearing this, Jiang Luoli paused slightly, then said apologetically, "So Sister Shengyi came too; Luoli made her worry again."
"It's fine, it's good to know you're okay; you can meet up later," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Jiang Luoli's gaze suddenly fixed on Jun Xiaoyao, and after a slight hesitation, she asked, "Did… Sister Shengyi ask Xiaoyao Gege to find me?"
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
Jiang Luoli continued, "If Sister Shengyi hadn't said anything…"
"Still," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Jiang Luoli smiled sweetly upon hearing this.
Then, with her small hands behind her back, her delicate body suddenly leaned forward, and she looked at Jun Xiaoyao with a smile, "Luoli has come this far alone; can I ask Xiaoyao Gege for a reward?"
Jun Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Yes, you certainly deserve commendation, so what do you want?"
Jiang Luoli gave a mischievous smile, and the next moment, she stepped forward and stood on her tiptoes…
After a long while, their lips parted.
Jiang Luoli's beautiful eyes were glistening, and her pretty face was flushed.
"I thought Xiaoyao Gege would push me away," Jiang Luoli said.
"This is your reward," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Jiang Luoli was a little embarrassed, then she put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "No, Xiaoyao Gege also took advantage of me, didn't he?"
"Alright, stop there. Let's talk about the situation here," Jun Xiaoyao steered the conversation back to business.
Jiang Luoli also became slightly serious and explained the situation to Jun Xiaoyao.
After she entered the Life and Death Gate, she also arrived at the black and white river.
However, as Jun Xiaoyao expected, this black and white river had no effect on Jiang Luoli's Elemental Spirit Dao Body.
Then she also encountered the Six-Armed Blade異獸.
As a result, she evaded it through various means, hid inside a bubble, and finally arrived within this giant bubble world.
Then she felt that her Elemental Spirit Dao Body seemed to resonate with this giant bubble world.
Next, she fell into a deep sleep, enveloped in the World Cocoon.
"So that's how it is," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"In my dream, I seemed to see some blurry scenes: the heavens and earth shattering, all things sinking."
"Also, this bubble world seems to be called the Yuanling World, and it belongs to a certain forbidden existence," Jiang Luoli said somewhat vaguely.
Because it was in a dream, she wasn't too sure.
"Regardless, this is an Opportunity for you; your Physique…" Jun Xiaoyao said.
"That's right, if I can fully absorb the power of this World Cocoon, I think my Elemental Spirit Dao Body should be able to transform into a Yuan Ling Immortal Body," Jiang Luoli said excitedly.
Previously, she had actually always felt a little inferior about her strength.
Because she didn't want to always rely on Jun Xiaoyao and Jiang Shengyi's protection.
And now, she also saw hope for her own strength to grow.
"That's good. Once you transform into a Yuan Ling Immortal Body, you should be able to control this fragmented Yuanling World, right?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Absolutely," Jiang Luoli declared confidently.
