At Stillwater Lake, unlike Ahri who always teases her, Kindred greeted Li Ke after sensing Li Ke presence.
"Li Ke, you're here~"
The Wolf Spirit began circling around Li Ke, full of enthusiasm.
There's no other reason than that the Kindred was happy for quite a while because of the gift Li Ke brought in, and when she was happy, the Wolf Spirit was happy too.
Naturally, Wolf Spirit found Li Ke even more agreeable.
"Li Ke, Orianna's soul has been repaired. Would you like to talk to her?"
Kindred's voice rang out from behind Li Ke. Li Ke turned around and saw Kindred gracefully tiptoeing onto the lake surface.
"Can she talk to me now?" Li Ke asked.
"Yes, half of her soul now belongs to the Soul Blossom, while the other half still exists in the Material Realm, not completely separated from her body. Her situation is rather special; normally, a soul like hers cannot exist within the Soul Blossom."
But the Fox helped her, preserving her memories and creating a special environment to retain her soul, so she didn't need to be slowly awakened through trials like other souls.
"Haha~, the Fox was punished quite severely for this, hiding in her den for several months." The Wolf Spirit chuckled beside him.
Upon hearing this, Li Ke immediately asked anxiously, "Is Ahri alright?"
Kindred calmly said, "It's alright, the wolf exaggerated. Whatever she does, the world won't blame her, because she is the core of this world."
Of the many Deity in Soul Blossom, Ahri and Thresh are the most powerful, but even Thresh is helpless against Ahri, and if Ahri gets angry, he has to avoid Ahri.
Because Ahri is the daughter of this world, if something truly happens to the Deity, the world consciousness of the Soul Blossom Land will favor Ahri. Therefore, in this world, she is an invincible being.
Fortunately, she is kind-hearted, cheerful, and lively, though her hyperactivity and mischievousness can be a nuisance.
"I really need to thank Ahri properly," Li Ke said, taking a deep breath.
"Ahri never told me that this would affect her. I owe her more and more," Li Ke said earnestly.
Just as Li Ke was about to continue speaking, intending to ask Kindred to take him to find Ahri, a mischievous voice rang out behind him.
"You owe me more and more? No, Li Ke, isn't our relationship a normal business transaction?"
Li Ke turned around and saw a furry head suddenly appear, with a pair of chubby pink and white paws resting on the shattered spatial barrier. Ahri looked at Li Ke cautiously, acting furtively as if she was hiding from something.
Upon hearing Ahri's voice, Li Ke was about to express his gratitude as he turned around, but Li Ke froze on the spot.
Because the Ahri in front of me looks sly and mischievous.
"Why are you acting strange?"
"I'm hiding from it." Ahri raised one of her little paws and said seriously to Li Ke, "It's looking for trouble."
"The Spirit of Soul Blossom?"
"Yes, I took it upon myself to allow a soul that didn't belong here to stay, and even resurrected her, and she's unhappy about it."
Seeing the worried look on Li Ke's face, Ahri immediately said, "What's with that look? Oh, it's okay, it can't do anything to me. At most, it'll pull my fur or strike me with lightning, but it won't really do anything to me."
"Alright, Li Ke, stop making that face. Did you bring me a gift this time?" she said with a grin.
Li Ke shook his head and said, "I left in too much of a hurry and wasn't prepared, but next time I come in, I'll definitely bring a whole bunch of things you like."
"It's a deal then."
Ahri nodded, then looked at Kindred and said, "Alright, Yangling, I'll take him to see that soul now."
"I want to go too!" Wolf Spirit shouted, and started to squeeze into the spatial rift created by Ahri.
But the Kindred reached out and grabbed the Wolf Spirit's tail.
Seeing the wolf looking at him with a pitiful expression, the sheep, wearing a mask, shook its head and whispered, "No."
"Can't I even join in the fun?"
"No, wolf, you must learn to give people space to be alone," the sheep said.
"You never used to talk about this, and we have no memory of it!"
"I learned it from books."
Li Ke watched this scene with amusement, then lifted his foot and crawled into the space created by Ahri.
Li Ke originally thought he would enter the core area of Soul Blossom as before, but after passing through the crack, he appeared directly in Ahri's cave.
In the cool and comfortable cave, Ahri was wiggling her little bottom, walking on all fours, and lightly leaping towards a large rock covered with fur. She raised her paw towards the blue figure in the lake in the cave.
"Orianna is right here, come quickly."
Li Ke stepped forward and looked at the blue phantom above the lake. The figure was about 1.4 meters long and was blue because it was a soul. This also turned Orianna's golden hair blue, and her facial features were blurry, but her body proportions were still very good.
"Should I wake her up now?" Ahri asked.
"Okay." Li Ke nodded.
Ahri didn't hesitate. She reached out her paw to touch the lake water, and the Little Fox closed its eyes, opened its mouth slightly, and uttered a few words.
With a flash of light, the blue light above the center of the lake shattered, and then a white, semi-transparent figure appeared. Ahri had thoughtfully prepared holy light for Orianna so that she wouldn't wake up naked.
"Alright," Ahri said.
As Ahri's voice faded, Orianna's soul fell into the water, and then, a pair of sapphire-like eyes snapped open.
Where am I?
"Dad? Are you there, Dad?"
Orianna splashed around in the lake, her long arms slapping the water's surface in a panic.
Seeing this, Ahri raised her paw and aimed it at Orianna.
"I forgot she's not the same as the souls here, sorry~" Ahri said, sticking out her tongue.
Li Ke stepped forward and asked, "Orianna?"
Orianna was startled to find herself flying and at a loss for what to do, but upon seeing Li Ke, she was momentarily confused before exclaiming in surprise, "Wait, I remember you! I saw you with Daddy!"
"Wait, were you already awake at that time?" Li Ke asked in surprise.
Orianna was referring to the time when she asked Ahri for help?
"Awakened?" Orianna became confused again.
Time flows on, but in Orianna's case, time stands still. Singed preserved her youthful body but also kept her mind in her teens. Therefore, perhaps Orianna's last memories are of herself constantly sleeping?
Then when I woke up, I saw Singed and Li Ke, and then I was lying in the nutrient tank.
Therefore, she is currently in a daze and has no idea what has happened.
"It seems I have a lot to tell you, but we have more than half an hour to talk. I will answer your questions. Don't worry, you can trust me because I'm from Zaunite, just like you."
"Zaunite? But I'm Piltover," Orianna blinked and looked at Li Ke.
Li Ke was taken aback, then smiled and said, "No, you are now Zaunite. Your father, Doctor. Corin Reveck, has joined Zaun and has Zaun residency, and so have you."
"He'll probably arrive in Ionia in the next day or two, then you'll be able to see her, but for you, it'll probably be about ten days?"
"You've probably noticed that the world you're in now is different from the world you were in before."
Orianna nodded, glanced at Li Ke, then at Ahri, and then, with a ladylike bow, said sincerely, "I know you saved me, right?"
"Thank you, sir, and Miss Fox as well," Orianna said politely.
"I like this child!" Ahri stood up and pointed at Orianna, saying to Li Ke.
Although Orianna's soul didn't emit a sound that pleased even the Deity like Li Ke's, the child's soul voice was still very beautiful.
This soul is kind, righteous, and warm.
They are the kind of people that Ahri is most willing to help.
Now, Ahri likes Orianna even more for her performance.
Because this child is very polite!
Unlike Li Ke!
That guy Li Ke, he's always thinking about lewd things!
Even when facing this great Deity, I can't help but think about all sorts of nonsense!
