Sometime later, Yuan asked, "How long will she stay inside that egg?"
"Until she fully recovers from her injuries, which could take months if not years, and since her bloodline was cursed, it will probably take years." Dong Ye explained.
"Years…?" Yuan gritted his teeth in frustration after learning that it could potentially be years until he sees Feng Yuxiang again.
Not wanting to wait such a long time, he asked, "Is there anything we can do to lower that time— help her recover faster?"
"There is one way. Since you're the Immortal Monarch, your blood should be able to help her recover faster, as well as weaken her curse at the same time." Dong Ye said.
"With that being said, you should not give her too much of your blood, as it could have the opposite effect and affect her negatively."
"How much blood should I give her?"
"A few drops once a week should suffice."
"Okay."
Yuan didn't hesitate to feed several drops of his blood to Feng Yuxiang immediately.
The moment his blood touched the egg's surface, the golden symbols surrounding it emitted a faint glow, and his blood was absorbed into the shell as if it were being consumed.
"Looks like it's working." Dong Ye said.
Yuan sighed in relief, and he prayed that it wouldn't take years before they met again.
He then asked, "One more thing. Can I take her with me when I travel?"
Dong Ye nodded, "Of course. However, if you want to carry her around safely, you'll need a special spatial ring that can store living entities inside. Fortunately, I happen to have something like that with me."
He proceeded to retrieve a spatial ring and offered it to Yuan.
"This is a Grand Spatial Ring. Unlike ordinary Spatial Rings, they have a whole world inside, allowing you to carry around living beings. The only drawback is its size, so you won't be able to fit as many things inside as an ordinary Spatial Ring. Even the biggest Grand Spatial Rings out there won't have as much capacity as a medium-sized Spatial Ring or Storage Pouch."
"This Grand Spatial Ring has enough room to fit Feng Yuxiang and two other individuals."
"Thank you for this." Yuan accepted the Grand Spatial Ring. As curious as he was about its value, he feared that he would not be able to accept it after learning about it.
"My liege." Dong Ye called him.
"Yeah?"
When Yuan looked at him, Dong Ye suddenly lowered his head and spoke in a sincere voice, "I'm truly sorry for this inconvenience. If this useless sack of old bones had shown up a little earlier, your precious friends wouldn't have been hurt. I had left the Third Heaven briefly to investigate the other Ancient Seal holders, but this isn't meant to be an excuse at all. I will accept any punishment you may have for me."
Yuan shook his head and said, "Stop it. You're not at fault here. And if it weren't for you, things would've ended much worse for all of us, so if anything, I should be thanking you."
"Thank you for protecting my friends, Dong Ye."
"Ah... my liege," Dong Ye muttered as he felt profound emotions welling up within his ancient soul.
He then stood tall and spoke in a serious voice, "This humble servant shall look for Bai Xutao right now. If you need anything, just send me a message and I will come running back."
"Take us back to the city before you leave," Yuan said as he stored Feng Yuxiang inside the Grand Spatial Ring.
