"Of course, although that bastard is severely injured, after all, he’s a high-level expert of the Yin-Yang Realm, and I reckon it won’t take long for him to recover. We must kill him before he is fully healed."
As the Moon Lady spoke, she suddenly beca serious, losing the vibe of the girl next door, and once again exhibited a deanor as ethereal as a fairy, elusive to fathom.
"Hmm, the Evil Beast Demon King has been a scourge in the Thousand Ghosts Forest for tens of thousands of years, causing harm to many martial artists. If he does not die, the Heavenly Dragon Continent will never know peace."
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Moreover, with his strength so great, if we do not take his life while he is ill, I’m afraid there will never be another chance."
"You’re not wrong. Even when I used the ’Falling Moon One Strike,’ the strongest technique in the Moonlight Sword Art, I still couldn’t kill him, and that was after you broke his Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array. Otherwise, it would have been even more troubleso."
The Moon Lady was clearly a more level-headed person; she could clearly discern the gap between herself and her opponent without being overconfident.
This was sothing Ling Xiao quite admired—if one could not even understand their own strength, then how could they talk about dominating the Mysterious World?
I guess such a person would quickly be killed by soone else.
"Alright, the dicinal bath is ready. Moon Lady, go and soak in it. I’ll go outside and protect you while you’re imrsing."
Ling Xiao filled the bathtub with warm water and said with a smile.
"No need to go outside, just cultivate in here."
The Moon Lady very well understood that Ling Xiao’s intention to leave was primarily out of concern for the propriety between n and won. However, with the cave riddled with dangers outside, she couldn’t allow herself to occupy the space and then expect him to face the risks.
As long as she turned her back and kept so distance, that should suffice.
"Very well then."
Knowing that the Moon Lady was not an old-fashioned person, Ling Xiao made no ceremony of it. He walked toward the cave entrance, and only after putting a fair distance between them did he sit down cross-legged to cultivate.
...
Indeed, the feelings between people need to be cultivated.
Over these three days, Ling Xiao had taken great care of Moon Lady, concocting dicinal baths for her, and helping her expel the Soul Power of the Evil Beast Demon King that lingered in her body. This brought their relationship significantly closer.
The inherently approachable Moon Lady now behaved with Ling Xiao as if he were an old friend, occasionally slapping Ling Xiao’s shoulder or even making other affectionate gestures involuntarily.
Of course, Ling Xiao knew that Moon Lady had no other intentions, her ease was simply due to not being overly concerned with gender differences, however, he still felt sowhat uneasy.
Having lower cultivation level than others poses such troubles; because you never know if the other person might suddenly change their attitude, requiring vigilance at all tis.
His relationship with the Moon Lady was still far from being as intimate as the bonds he shared with Ling Yixue, Dai Yuling, and Leng i.
Of course, compared to most people, their relationship was much better; even in front of the Moon Lady, Ling Xiao didn’t have to be as deferent as he had to be in front of the Guanghan Celestial Venerate, Chang Yueying—the Sect Master of the Moon Hua Sect, and the Master of Wangming Tower.
He could communicate with Moon Lady as he would with soone his own age.
"The restraints within your body have been basically removed; you just need to soak in the dicinal bath one more ti. I’ll go and gather the herbs."
"Let go instead. Your strength is too weak, and the Sinful Beasts are rampant in the Thousand Ghosts Forest, you wouldn’t stand a chance against even one of them," said the Moon Lady, standing up.
"Be good and listen to . The last bit of your restriction is about to be fully solved. If you rashly use your True Essence now, all previous efforts will be wasted!"
After finishing his words, Ling Xiao turned and left.
"Be good? He actually told to be good?"
The Moon Lady stood there, stunned.
Had this lad got sothing wrong? A Transcendent Realm martial artist, actually telling her, a Yin-Yang Realm expert, to be good?
Monts later, her stupefied look turned into a smile: "This little guy is quite interesting. When I first awoke, the Heavenly Maiden was already gone from my side, and no one else cared about . Those high-ranking officials of the Moon Hua Sect only felt reverence and greed towards ; they would never show such concern - this little guy is an exception."
Her smile, in that mont, was truly unparalleled in beauty—what a pity that Ling Xiao did not see it; otherwise, he surely would have been moved.
"No, judging by the ti, nearly three days have passed, and the Evil Beast Demon King couldn’t have remained inactive. I need to go out and see."
Although the restriction wasn’t completely lifted yet, the Moon Lady could now exhibit far greater strength than Ling Xiao.
She was genuinely concerned for Ling Xiao’s safety, so she decided to go out and check on the situation.
Just as she stepped out of the cave, a sudden roar of a beast ca from afar, causing her face to change drastically. She could tell from the sound that it was at least a Level 9 Fierce Beast, and with Ling Xiao’s strength, he stood no chance against it.
Feeling even more anxious, she attempted to use Moon Shadow Divine Movent to leave, but found herself blocked by the Array Formation at the cave entrance.
"Damn it! If anything happens to Ling Xiao, I will turn Thousand Ghosts Forest to ruins! Kill all the beasts here!"
She was about to exert a powerful Martial Skill to forcefully break through the array at the cave’s entrance when she suddenly saw a blurred figure rushing towards her from a distance.
It was Ling Xiao!
Joy appeared on the Moon Lady’s face.
She had never thought she would care so much about a re kid.
But at that mont, she couldn’t control her emotions—it was the most genuine expression of her heart.
"Are you alright, Ling Xiao?"
The Moon Lady asked eagerly.
"I’m fine. It was just a re ferocious beast!"
Ling Xiao waved his hand with a smile, "I’ve gathered the herbs. I’ll start making the potion now. This should be the last ti, and after using it, you should be completely fine."
Looking at Ling Xiao’s expression, the Moon Lady felt sowhat puzzled.
Ling Xiao didn’t seem to be injured at all. She breathed a sigh of relief and said no more.
Once inside the cave, Ling Xiao began to concoct the potion.
This potion was not sothing just anyone could concoct. The specific amounts of each herb were crucial; even the slightest deviation could result in a vastly different outco.
Therefore, only he could personally take on this task.
About five to six minutes later, as Ling Xiao was supporting a large tub, he smiled, "It’s ready. You can start soaking now. I’m going to cultivate."
"Thank you."
The Moon Lady was a bit distraught. She truly didn’t know how she would face this kid in the future. Could she really take him as her disciple?
With a wry smile, she shed her garnt and was just about to step into the tub to soak when suddenly, she heard a "plop."
She hurriedly turned her head to look.
Ling Xiao was already lying on the ground, black qi rising from his body.
"Ling Xiao!"
The Moon Lady cried out in alarm, hastily wrapping herself in her clothes before rushing over to support Ling Xiao up.
The black qi was emitting precisely from Ling Xiao’s back.
The Moon Lady tore open Ling Xiao’s shirt to check and saw that there were claw marks on his back, five of them oozing with black qi.
"You fool, to think you said you were fine with such injuries!"
The Moon Lady was so frantic she was almost close to crying.
The disappearance of the Moon Blossom Fairy had left her lonely for tens of thousands of years. Now that she had finally found soone she could talk to like a friend, he ended up being injured like this.
She swore she would absolutely not let anything happen to Ling Xiao!
Absolutely not!
