Chapter 89 Breaking through level 96? The second place arrives in a stunning fashion!
"This is the city lord of Chang'an?!"
Lan Fuzi and Bai Xiuxiu were both astonished as they looked at Ye Han in the main seat.
I never imagined that the lord of Chang'an City would be such a young boy.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that the young man before them possessed an incredibly powerful aura, and his expression, though seemingly unchanging, exuded an air of authority.
It was an aura beyond their perception and understanding, as if the world had lost its color before him!
Seeing this, Galo immediately said in a deep voice:
"This is the Lord of Chang'an! Hurry up and pay your respects!"
Reminded of this, Lan Fuzi and Bai Xiuxiu quickly bowed and paid their respects.
"This humble girl, Lan Fuzi, greets Your Majesty the City Lord!"
"This humble girl, Bai Xiuxiu, greets Your Majesty the City Lord!"
The two women are very beautiful, far surpassing Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Ye Han remained unmoved, and sternly cut to the chase:
"I know your identities and your intentions. What makes you think I would help you?"
Lan Fuzi and Bai Xiuxiu gave the same answer:
"You set up a test outside the city. Although it was difficult, you were intentionally trying to get me through it, which shows that you are willing to give me a chance!"
After the two women finished speaking, they looked at each other in surprise.
They thought that the test of letting go was a unique opportunity for them, but they didn't expect that the other party would do the same!
"It's obvious he has some brains..."
Ye Han's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a power that pierced people's hearts:
"But how precious is my Chang'an's 'Ultimate'? What can you offer in exchange for it?!"
Lan Fuzi and Bai Xiuxiu's answers were once again identical:
"If you are willing to grant me the 'ultimate' to save my loved ones, I, Lan Fuzi/Bai Xiuxiu, am willing to pay any price!"
Ye Han didn't beat around the bush and continued to get straight to the point:
"In that case, the conditions are simple: join Chang'an City, become a subject of this city lord, and serve Chang'an!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Fuzi agreed without the slightest hesitation:
"As long as my father can be saved... I, Lan Fuzi, am willing to join Chang'an and obey the City Lord's orders from now on!"
Bai Xiuxiu looked troubled, hesitated for a moment, and then stammered:
"I... my Demon Soul Great White Shark clan has been subjects of the Sea God for generations. If we were to join another faction, I'm afraid..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lan Fuzi couldn't hold back any longer.
Her father had a blood feud with the sea god, and she naturally hated him as well, coldly snorting:
"Hmph, you are more like slaves than subjects of the sea god! If he truly cared about you, why didn't he descend to protect you in your time of crisis?!"
Though the words were harsh, they were piercing to the heart.
Bai Xiuxiu wanted to refute but couldn't find a way to say it.
Yes, if you really care...
Why did we just stand by and watch their people be slaughtered...?
Why did the Grand Priest Poseidon spare the Deep Sea Demon Whale King...?
Why should she travel all the way here to seek help...?
At that moment, her faith in the sea god wavered, even collapsed!
She gritted her teeth and said, as if making a firm decision:
"I, Bai Xiuxiu, am willing to join Chang'an City and pledge my loyalty to the City Lord!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly knelt down with a thud, her eyes filled with pleading:
"Lord of the City, Xiuxiu has one more request. If you agree, Xiuxiu is willing to serve you as your servant!"
"I implore you, please do not help this Lan Fuzi. Her father, and indeed her entire clan, are utterly wicked!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Fuzi instantly flew into a rage:
"You Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, are you any better? We're all the same!"
In an instant, tensions rose within the Taiji Hall.
The two women, disregarding the occasion, started arguing back and forth, neither willing to give in.
After all, the deep-seated hatred between the two ethnic groups is not something that can be easily resolved.
"quiet--!"
Ye Han suddenly interrupted with a stern and authoritative shout:
"No matter what grudges you have against each other, I will treat you all equally!"
"As long as you join Chang'an, I will not only bestow upon you the ultimate power, but I will also help your clan resolve its grievances in the future!"
Shangguan Wan'er, standing to the side, couldn't help but loudly echo:
"Your loved ones are in imminent danger. You know what the most urgent task is! The opportunity has been given to you. If you don't cherish it, then so be it!"
Lan Fuzi and Bai Xiuxiu dared not misbehave any longer and nodded hastily:
"My daughter understands and is willing to follow all arrangements!"
Ye Han nodded in satisfaction and gave Wan'er a knowing look.
Shangguan Wan'er understood immediately, gave a slight bow, and quickly turned and left.
...
It took about two and a half incense sticks to burn.
Shangguan Wan'er held two sacred pillars that shimmered with a faint golden light.
It contains the life-giving spring water drawn from the "ultimate"!
"Lord of the City, the 'Ultimate' has been obtained."
Shangguan Wan'er handed the Holy Grail to Ye Han.
Ye Han raised his hand to indicate that he was handing the Holy Grail to the two women.
"The water in the cup is the 'ultimate'; a single drop can heal the severely injured, and a whole cup can bring the dying back to life!"
Lan Fuzi and Bai Xiuxiu carefully accepted it.
"This...this is the legendary 'ultimate'? How amazing!!"
Feeling the vast life force emanating from it, the two women were deeply moved.
Just as they were about to express their gratitude, Ye Han gave Wan'er a meaningful look.
Wan'er understood immediately, took out two immortal herbs tied with small bamboo tags, handed them to the two women, and said:
"These are two immortal herbs that have been nourished by the 'ultimate' power. The details are written on the small bamboo plaque. They are very suitable for you, and I now bestow them upon you."
The rich and powerful spiritual energy of the immortal herb spread out and surrounded the two women.
The two women felt that this aura was far more powerful than they had imagined, and couldn't help but exclaim in unison:
"This...this is the immortal herb that the heavens accepted? Or has it been nourished by the 'ultimate'? It must be a divine herb, right? Bestowed upon me? Why?!"
Ye Han's authoritative voice resounded throughout the hall:
"In my Chang'an City, everyone is equal. All citizens of Chang'an are entitled to the blessings of this immortal herb. Please accept it."
Lan Fuzi and Bai Xiuxiu were deeply moved upon hearing this.
They all knelt down with a thud, and respectfully said in unison:
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord City Lord. From now on, I, Lan Fuzi/Bai Xiuxiu, will follow you to the death and serve Chang'an with utmost loyalty!"
The two women never expected that simply becoming subjects of Chang'an would grant them such a divine herb, making them willingly submit to its loyalty!
Just then, a system notification sounded in Ye Han's mind:
[bite--!]
[Detected that [Blue Buddha] has developed faith in the host, contributing [278] Faith Power!]
[Detected that [Bai Xiuxiu] has developed faith in the host, contributing [778] Faith Power!]
[Current Faith Power [12856] has reached the threshold for breaking through [Level 96], and the host's level can be increased at any time!]
"good!"
Ye Han nodded in satisfaction.
Lan Fuzi has very little screen time in the original Douluo Continent III novel and provides very little faith points.
As the female lead of Douyu No. 4, Bai Xiuxiu naturally provides more faith points.
"Alright, your priority is to go back and rescue people, so go back first. Come back to Chang'an when you've finished dealing with things."
"Gallu, you should assemble a team and personally escort the two women back, so that outsiders won't covet the 'Ultimate' along the way."
"Oh, and also, summon that bear from the far north."
As soon as Ye Han finished speaking, Jialuo immediately obeyed and left with the two women.
Before leaving, she took a deep look at Ye Han. It was a rare opportunity to meet him, but she couldn't even exchange a few words with him.
...
No sooner had they left than a thunderclap boomed in the sky:
"Boom—"
Under the tense gaze of all beings in the entire plane, the second place arrived in a shocking manner:
