Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 159 Devouring the Star Language Heavenly Tree, Little Flame Princess with Imperial Bloodline?

"What exactly is going on?" asked a member of the Zhao family who had come with Zhao Yulin, looking bewildered.

So much happened in just one minute!

First, two people appeared out of nowhere and blocked their way.

Not only did they easily interrupt Zhao Yulin's high-level magic, but their cultivation level was also far above theirs!

What's even more terrifying is that the ghostly woman beside him, whose body is made of flames, is even more terrifying. Her monarch-level aura makes these high-level mages feel like they can't breathe!
And then.
The Flame Witch attacked Jiang Feng fiercely and killed her instantly!
With the help of Lu Ran's mental power, the Zhao family members saw who the real 'Jiang Feng' was!
But at this moment, they were still puzzled, confused, and bewildered!

Jiang Feng, who had stayed in the Zhao family's inner quarters for over a decade, turned out to be a fake?

What words does this sound like!

"Jiang Feng? You really are Jiang Feng? What the hell is this?!" Zhao Yulin roared in anguish.

Jiang Feng remained calm. After killing the ghost woman, the only thing she couldn't let go of was Zhao Chenying.

She felt no other emotions towards Zhao Yulin.

She didn't want to answer Zhao Yulin, but seeing her daughter's hopeful eyes, Jiang Feng sighed and looked at Lu Ran.

Knowing that she was unwilling to talk to Zhao Yulin, Lu Ran took the initiative to help her out, telling Zhao Yulin and the others the truth in a few words!
Was all of this for over a decade just a scam by the ghost woman?

Zhao Yulin couldn't accept it, and neither could the rest of the Zhao family.

"Jiang Feng, I've wronged you all these years. Come back to the Zhao family with me, and I'll treat you well from now on!" Zhao Yulin said softly.

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes. "Trying to poach my boyfriend right in front of me?"

Before Lu Ran could reply, Jiang Feng said coldly:

"There's no connection between us anymore. I'll spare your life for Chenying's sake!"
"The northern corner of Zhuoyuan is not a place for you. Now turn back the way you came!"

Lu Ran was very satisfied with Jiang Feng's retort.

Zhao Yulin stood there, stunned and at a loss.

He glanced back at his daughter Zhao Chenying, and sighed, thinking of the debt he had owed to 'Jiang Feng' over the years.

Knowing that Jiang Feng was there, her daughter would not be in mortal danger.

After telling the others to go back, Zhao Yulin quickly left.

The others were unwilling to accept it, even though the Blazing Plains Fruit was right in front of them!

But when they thought of the terrifying strength of the man in front of them, they could only bury their heads and leave silently.

Watching Zhao Yulin and the others return the way they came, Lu Ran suddenly spoke:
“I made a deal with your mother. From now on, your mother will be living with me.”

"Of course, if you want to see her, you are welcome to come to Shanghai anytime. If she misses you, she will also come to see you anytime."

Zhao Chenying was in a bad mood; anyone would feel bad in her place.

He nodded dejectedly at that moment.

Jiang Feng, with a worried expression, comforted her daughter.

Lu Ran didn't look at the mother and daughter, and sighed.

Suddenly, a tremendous tremor came from the direction of the Starry Sky Tree!

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow and instantly projected his mental energy towards the target.

Beside her, Jiang Feng spoke up in surprise:
"The Fire Calamity Fruit is about to ripen! The Flame Princess is about to be born!"

Lu Ran smiled, his figure vanishing instantly. A streak of black lightning flashed across the sky. Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, then picked up her daughter and transformed into a fiery beam of light to give chase.

The Starry Sky Tree swayed wildly, with countless fire-attribute elemental crystals and fire cloud fruits falling from its branches. At this moment, the giant tree was already on the verge of collapse.

Lu Ran knew that the Starry Sky Tree couldn't hold on any longer!
It had long since exhausted its energy and was nearing the end of its life.

The long years have finally come to an end.

The most dazzling and radiant Fire Calamity Fruit was now shining with blinding flames!
With a 'poof' sound, the Fire Calamity Fruit fell to the ground.

Lu Ran waved his hand, using his mind to sweep it up and hold it in his hand.

The next second, the Fire Calamity Fruit shattered like an eggshell, and a fiery red arm, like that of a tender infant, emerged from the shell!
Immediately afterwards, the eggshell shattered into pieces, revealing a miniature doll inside that looked like a fire sprite.

Little Flame Princess trembled her small wings on her back as she whimpered and nibbled at the fragments of Fire Calamity Fruit around her.

Lu Ran could sense that Xiao Yan Ji's life level was rapidly rising!
Clearly, the Fire Calamity Fruit that hatched and nurtured her was also an unparalleled upgrade treasure for her!

But Lu Ran knew that the Star Language Tree's help to Yan Ji was equally significant!
The life of the Starry Sky Tree has come to an end. Rather than letting it pass away like this, let it help the last Flame Princess in its final moments!
Thinking this, Lu Ran lifted his wrist, holding Little Flame Princess in his palm, and with a flash, arrived at the middle of the Star Language Heavenly Tree.

Lu Ran's spiritual power surged into it, and he indeed sensed a vast amount of life essence rapidly dissipating.

When Little Flame Princess was placed next to the Starry Sky Tree, she excitedly danced around without Lu Ran even needing to guide her.

Little Flame Princess opened her arms and mouth, and a fiery red vortex appeared in front of her.

The energy that was rapidly dissipating within the Star Language Tree was miraculously drawn in and absorbed by Little Flame Princess.

At the same time, Lu Ran sensed that not only was Xiao Yan Ji's life level rising rapidly, but her bloodline was also being elevated, breaking through the shackles of the Supreme Monarch!
What level is above the Supreme Monarch?
That can only be an emperor!

Even a sub-emperor is not someone a supreme monarch can contend with!

In the original work, Xiao Yan Ji's bloodline level is top-level monarch, that is, the supreme monarch level, which is equivalent to the totem Xuan Snake.

However, in the original story, Little Flame Princess was not born next to the Star Language Tree.

Mo Fan and his companions had no involvement whatsoever with the ancient existence of the Star Language Tree.

And now, even after Little Flame Princess has hatched and the Star Language Tree's life has come to an end, Lu Ran has not left!

Lu Ran's expression was quite interesting as he witnessed Xiao Yan Ji's life level reach the advanced warrior level.

The contracted beast has several growth stages: infancy, juvenile, growth, maturity, and peak.

In the original work, it took several months for Little Flame Princess to transform from infancy to childhood and possess the strength of a warrior.

The slow growth of Little Flame Princess was partly due to Mo Fan's poor summoning skills and partly due to insufficient fire-elemental resources.

But now, not only has Little Flame Princess rapidly entered her childhood, but her life level has also reached the advanced warrior level.

It's only a little time away from breaking through to the Commander level; all Lu Ran needs to do is feed him a few more fire-type soul seeds.

Little Flame Princess absorbed the last energy of the Star Language Tree, completed the evolution of her life level, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

Seeing this, Lu Ran smiled:

"Little one, sleeping right after being born. When your mother, Jiang Feng, sees this, won't she be worried sick?"

Lu Ran landed and placed Xiao Yan Ji in front of Jiang Feng.

Sure enough, when Jiang Feng saw that Xiao Yan Ji had her eyes closed, she thought something had happened and asked anxiously:
"What's up with her?"
