God Tier Providence System Chapter 75

[ … words ]

Only then did Lyra fully realize the situation.

The look she directed at Alex now held a trace of guilt and gratitude.

She naturally knew perfectly well that she had given the hairpin to Knox herself. It was impossible for Knox to deliberately claim he stole it just to cause trouble for himself.

The reason Leo came was entirely under Alex’s instruction.

To help Knox deal with the Hale family, she had not hesitated to give him a strategy. Telling him to seek out the Poison King Leo to poison the entire Hale family to death.

Yet not only did Alex completely overlook her actions, he was actually so generous and magnanimous as to have Leo help her out of this predicament.

In comparison, her own actions were simply far too lowly and despicable.

“Saint Lord Alex, thank you.” Lyra lowered her head and said guiltily.

“If you hadn’t spoken up out of a sense of justice, not only would I have lost a supreme treasure, but I would have also fallen into a storm of public controversy.”

“This Princess truly does not know how to repay this grace…”

“Princess Moon, speaking such words makes us seem like strangers.” Alex waved his hand and laughed cheerfully.

“I am a citizen of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty.”

“I have always held a heartfelt, profound respect for the Heavenly Flame Empress.”

“And you, Princess Moon, are her most capable and trusted confidante.”

“Helping you with this slight effort is not even worth mentioning.”

“It’s just that…” Alex’s tone suddenly shifted. He looked down at Joanna, still unconscious in his arms. His expression darkened, eyes showing heartache and anger.

“Me suffering some injustice is absolutely nothing.”

“But this child only just broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet she sustained such severe injuries.”

“If Poison King Leo hadn’t gifted the Innate Poison Cloud to counteract the Heavenly Flame Bone-Shattering Palm, she would have almost died on the spot.”

“But even so, her future path of cultivation will inevitably face massive obstacles.”

The underlying meaning was incredibly clear.

Helping you all was just a minor effort. He never intended nor expected any repayment.

However, Joanna was genuinely beaten into a heavily injured state by Knox. The bloody palm print on her body was ironclad proof. This debt absolutely must be settled.

Aurelia remained silent, struggling in her heart.

Leo, however, took a step forward and was the first to state his position.

“Saint Lord Alex, although Lady Joanna’s injuries have nothing to do with me, the incident did happen in my territory.”

“This lowly one doesn’t have any great treasures, only a Blood Gathering Ginseng I obtained in my early years, containing nearly a millennium of medicinal efficacy.”

“To express my apologies, I am willing to gift this Millennium Blood Gathering Ginseng to Lady Joanna to nourish her body.”

“I only hope that Saint Lord Alex can frequently visit my Five Poisons Valley in the future.”

Leo retrieved a forearm-length, transparent crystal box from his space ring. Inside lay a ginseng completely crimson red, like blood.

Its medicinal properties were incredibly potent. It had already faintly grown into the shape of a human. Even separated by the crystal box, everyone could smell the rich, dense medicinal fragrance.

“Poison King Leo, you are far too polite.” Alex exchanged pleasantries verbally, but his body was very honest. He directly snatched the Blood Gathering Ginseng over.

Smelling the fragrant aroma up close, a joyful smile appeared on his face.

This Blood Gathering Ginseng, having settled through a thousand years, could rival a Heaven and Earth-tier spiritual herb. After consumption, it could grant the user a certain degree of self-healing ability. Minor flesh wounds wouldn’t even require treatment.

In the original novel, Leo was slapped to death by Alex while buying time for Knox. This Millennium Blood Gathering Ginseng naturally fell right into Knox’s lap.

Knox consumed both the Blood Gathering Ginseng and the Innate Poison Cloud at the same time. His cultivation skyrocketed by over a major realm. He mastered the dual abilities of self-healing and poison manipulation. Reached his early-game peak.

But now, both supreme treasures were entirely in Alex’s possession. He wondered what kind of thoughts were running through this brat’s mind right now.

“Poison King Leo, this seat completely understands your intentions.” Alex smiled faintly.

“Once I return, I will definitely feed this treasure to Joanna.”

“From this day forward, I will frequently dispatch family disciples to your valley to gain experience.”

“When the time comes, I hope Poison King Leo can help take good care of my Hale family disciples.”

Leo hurriedly nodded with an awkward smile. Displaying the utmost flattery and sycophancy.

After struggling internally for a long time, Lyra also walked up to Alex.

“Saint Lord Alex, this matter arose because my Profound Ice Blue Moon Hairpin was stolen. This Princess cannot shirk the blame.”

“To express my apologies, I am willing to gift this Profound Ice Blue Moon Hairpin to Lady Joanna.”

“I hope Lady Joanna’s injuries will heal quickly and that her future cultivation will be even smoother.”

“Princess Moon, how could I possibly accept this?” Alex feigned being overwhelmed by the favor. Yet his hand snatched the Profound Ice Blue Moon Hairpin in an absolute instant.

“I never expected this child Joanna to have such a profound blessing.”

“I truly must thank Princess Moon properly on her behalf!”

This Profound Ice Blue Moon Hairpin was a Lower-Grade Supreme-tier artifact. It could purify impurities within the body and ward off the risk of Qi deviation.

In the original novel, Knox’s cultivation speed, driven by his intense thirst for revenge, was astonishingly fast. He practically broke through a major realm in every new location he visited.

The natural consequence was a massive accumulation of malicious aura and violent bloodlust within his body.

It was precisely by relying on the Profound Ice Blue Moon Hairpin’s spiritual energy to maintain the purity of his heart that Knox managed to retain his pure Dao heart and avoid Qi deviation.

Now, this Profound Ice Blue Moon Hairpin belonged to Alex.
