Chapter 188: Chapter 188

The Gray Wolf Princess was suddenly startled; she knew that Granny Qinghua was about to come in.

It was at this moment that the infusion of the Holy Water Power from the Heavenly Pond into Zhao Letian finally ceased. However, by now, the Holy Water Power had become extremely thin, merely one-tenth remained.

"This guy, he actually absorbed so much Holy Water Power. His injuries have healed, but the Essence Blood that he lost inside his body cannot be replenished in a short time. Whether he can survive or not will depend on his luck."

The Gray Wolf Princess glared at Zhao Letian with a bit of frustration, and then was about to send him away through the underwater river at the bottom of the pond.

"Wearing the clothes of Dajin Country, he definitely won't be able to leave the grassland alive. Since he has seen me, the Princess, I ought to return the favor."

The Gray Wolf Princess hesitated for a bit before a slightly mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. With a casual wave of her hand, she stripped off all of Zhao Letian's clothes and stored them in her Storage Ring.

"Hmph, men are so ugly."

The Gray Wolf Princess looked over Zhao Letian's body carefully, her face revealing a shy blush, then, with a snort, a wave of her fair hand sent Zhao Letian into the dark river, allowing him to drift with the current.

After all this was done, the Gray Wolf Princess finally gathered her composure, flipped her hand, and took out an exquisite white gown to wear.

"Princess, are you alright?"

Just then, an old granny in a green robe walked in. Although there seemed to be no breath coming from her body, standing there, she had a peculiar rhythm, as if fused with heaven and earth.

"Granny, you are making a big fuss over nothing. This is the Heavenly Pond Sacred Land. Even the Royal Family cannot easily come here, not to mention others. What could possibly happen to me?"

The Gray Wolf Princess pouted, clinging to the granny's arm and acting coquettishly.

"Princess, it's not that I'm making a big fuss, but your safety is more important than anything. The reason for my existence is to protect you. If something happened to you, I wouldn't have the face to meet the King."

Granny Qinghua smiled helplessly, the Gray Wolf Princess was someone she watched grow up, just like her own child, she cared for her dearly.

"All right, granny. Aren't I fine? There's nothing wrong. Let's go."

The Gray Wolf Princess said with a charming smile.

"Oh? Princess, have you activated your Bloodline Power with the help of the Heavenly Pond Holy Water?"

Granny Qinghua's eyes brightened.

"Uh-huh, I activated it long ago. I just wanted to train a little longer with the power of the Heavenly Pond Holy Water before leaving."

The Gray Wolf Princess said.

"That's great. I wonder how much Holy Water Power the Princess absorbed. With your astounding talent, I believe you must have absorbed quite a lot."

As Granny Qinghua spoke, she casually waved her hand, and some remnants of the Holy Water Power emerged in the Heavenly Pond.

The next moment, the air suddenly became stagnant.

Granny Qinghua froze, her eyes full of an incredulous shock, staring intently at the scarcely remaining Holy Water Power. Even though she believed the Princess would have definitely absorbed a lot of the Holy Water Power, she never imagined the Princess could have nearly drained the entire Heavenly Pond of its Holy Water Power.

"Grandmother, this..."

The Gray Wolf Princess showed an embarrassed look on her face while also appearing nervous, afraid that Granny Qinghua might become suspicious. Although she had absorbed quite a bit of Holy Water Power, compared to what Zhao Letian had absorbed, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket—not worth mentioning at all. The vast majority of the Holy Water Power in the pond had been absorbed by Zhao Letian alone.

"Good, very good, this is truly a blessing from the heavens for our Gray Wolf Kingdom. Unexpectedly, everyone has underestimated your talent, Your Highness. Since the founding of the Gray Wolf Kingdom, no one has ever been able to absorb so much Holy Water Power in one go. Your talent, Princess, is simply unprecedented and unparalleled, beyond my wildest imagination. Given time, you will undoubtedly lead our Gray Wolf Kingdom to a flourishing and prosperous future."

Granny Qinghua suddenly showed a look of excitement, holding the hands of the Gray Wolf Princess and speaking with utmost seriousness.

"Grandmother, isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

The Gray Wolf Princess forced a slight smile while feeling extremely awkward in her heart.

"Princess, you should know that the more powerful one's Bloodline Power is, the more Holy Water Power they need to absorb in order to activate the Bloodline Power. During the process of activating your Bloodline Power, the fact you have absorbed so much Holy Water Power means that your Bloodline Power is stronger than all members of the Royal Family, and might even be comparable to the ancestor who founded the Gray Wolf Kingdom. Of course, just having Bloodline Power is not enough; if you want to become an unparalleled powerhouse, you must work even harder in your cultivation," Granny Qinghua said gravely.

"Alright, Grandmother, I understand. Let's go now."

The Gray Wolf Princess nodded obediently.

"Okay, let's leave. It's a pity, though, that this Sacred Land will probably not be usable for a hundred years." Granny Qinghua nodded, looking at the Heavenly Pond nearby with a hint of regret before she and the Gray Wolf Princess left together.

"Splash, splash, splash..."

Having been adrift for who knows how long, Zhao Letian finally regained a thread of consciousness, faintly hearing the sound of flowing water beside his ears.

However, the Essence Blood depletion in his body was far too great; he didn't have an ounce of strength from head to toe and couldn't move at all—not even open his eyelids.

Fortunately, his cultivation level was still intact, and mysteriously, his injuries had also healed. Unaware, he had even broken through to the True Martial Fourth Realm. As long as he could replenish the lost Essence Blood, he would be able to recover his peak strength and perhaps even surpass it.

The only problem was that simply drifting was not a solution. If he encountered any danger along the way, being utterly defenseless, he would be at the mercy of others.

Just as his thoughts began to stir, Zhao Letian felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness surge through him. His vision darkened, and he passed out again.

Atop the vast and boundless grasslands, there flows a mighty river from the Snow Domain Sacred Mountain, meandering through the territories of the grassland tribes and revered as the Holy River of the Gray Wolf Kingdom.

The Baihua Tribe, a small tribe that resides at the foot of the Holy Mountain, is inconspicuous in the Gray Wolf Kingdom, but quite renowned in the vicinity. They are adept at collecting herbs and concocting potions, boasting many Alchemists.

And the Holy River Water possesses a mystical magic, an essential ingredient for the Baihua Tribe in potion-making.

One day, a tall girl with wheat-colored healthy skin, wearing an animal skin skirt, squatted beside the Holy River, collecting the river water in a skin bag with an innocent and joyous smile on her face.

All of a sudden, something unusual caught the girl's eye as it floated by on the river surface, prompting her curiosity.

However, in the next moment, the girl's cheeks flushed red - the object drifting toward her was a man, and furthermore, a naked man.
