"I won’t let you die! Absolutely not!"
Moon Lady pressed her jade hand against Ling Xiao’s back, and the black energy began to be continuously drawn out from Ling Xiao’s body, moving towards her own.
...
In a daze, Ling Xiao felt as if he was soaking in a warm dicinal bath, his body extrely comfortable.
He rembered that while picking herbs, he had encountered a Level 9 Ferocious Beast, and that creature was even a Demon General under the Evil Beast Demon King.
As a result, during the battle, he was fiercely clawed.
He thought his Heavenly Dragon Golden Body would be no problem, but feared that Moon Lady would worry, so he simply changed his clothes.
However, who knew that the evil energy emanating from the claws, would be impossible to drive away even by the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, and could only be absorbed by the Mountain and River Martial Soul.
Before he had a chance to heal, he passed out.
When he opened his eyes, he took a look.
As expected, he was soaking in a bath, his upper clothes already removed. The tub contained new water, as well as so special dicinal liquid.
"Don’t tell , Moon Lady, you did all these?"
Ling Xiao asked in surprise, "You know how to do this?"
"Nonsense. When I fought alongside the Moon Blossom Fairy back in the day, I did similar things quite often. It’s just that I’ve neglected it for the last tens of thousands of years, and I feel like my skills have regressed sowhat."
As she spoke, a few shades of crimson floated across the pretty face of the Moon Lady.
She was clearly embarrassed.
"Moon Blossom Fairy! Isn’t that the founder of the Moon Hua Sect? Sister, don’t tell you’ve lived for over a hundred thousand years?"
Ling Xiao asked the Moon Lady in astonishnt.
"What, do you think I’m old? It’s said to be over a hundred thousand years, but in fact, I was asleep for nearly ninety thousand of those years. Alas, I don’t know where the Heavenly Maiden has gone."
The Moon Lady sighed.
"Cough cough, let’s not talk about upsetting things. You probably haven’t had the chance to soak in the dicinal liquid yet, right? I’m already fine now, but the key is your recovery."
Ling Xiao could see that the mood of the Moon Lady wasn’t too good when the Moon Blossom Fairy was ntioned, so he simply changed the subject.
"I’ve already soaked. You don’t know that you’ve been unconscious for a whole day and night, do you?"
The Moon Lady said with a wry smile.
"No way!"
Ling Xiao thought he had only been unconscious for a short while.
"My goodness, does that an this bathtub was just used by you? No wonder it slls so nice!"
"You little rascal, what are you thinking? Believe it or not, I’ll tear your mouth apart?"
The Moon Lady said irritably.
However, interestingly, after Ling Xiao’s tease, her mood seed to have suddenly improved a lot.
"Right, Moon Lady, my injuries are almost healed too. Since you’ve already lifted the ban, you must be planning to go after that Evil Beast Demon King, right?"
Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
"Yes."
The Moon Lady nodded and said, "That’s in the plan."
"But in my opinion, since the Evil Beast Demon King understands magic arrays, surely the place where he recovers and hides is fortified by an array formation. Wouldn’t it be difficult for you alone?"
Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
"You want to co with ?"
The Moon Lady inquired.
"Exactly. Although I can’t help you much in battle, when it cos to breaking magic arrays, you’re not as good as . Besides, I also want to get so Earth Spirit-Origin Stones."
Ling Xiao frankly said, "The Pagoda Climbing Ceremony is about to begin. I have to hurry up, or I definitely won’t get first place. If you then refuse to take as your disciple, wouldn’t that be sad?"
"You can co, but you’ll have to follow my arrangents."
The Moon Lady pondered for a mont before speaking.
"No problem."
Ling Xiao answered crisply, because he knew that the Moon Lady would not harm him.
This woman simply wasn’t the type to harm others; in so ways, she was too naive.
To put it bluntly, if Ling Xiao really wanted to deceive her, he could absolutely make her go around in circles.
"Then that’s good. Keep this object with you. It can block three fatal attacks for you. If you encounter danger, try to flee instead of facing it head-on."
The Moon Lady looped a pendant around Ling Xiao’s neck.
The pendant had a silver chain with a crescent-shaped gemstone attached; Ling Xiao wasn’t sure what it was exactly.
However, he felt that this object must be so kind of defensive treasure, and not of low grade, especially since it was a gift from the Moon Lady—it couldn’t be bad.
"Then I will not refuse!"
Ling Xiao was also afraid of dying.
Since he needed to ensure absolute safety, this object was a necessity, so he didn’t see any reason to be polite.
"Alright, you should hurry and heal your injuries. Once you’re fully healed, we will set off, and I need to recover a bit as well."
The Moon Lady smiled and took a seat not far from Ling Xiao’s bath.
Ling Xiao glanced at the Moon Lady and really wanted to reveal his true intentions, but he was afraid she would object.
After thinking it over, he decided against it.
He too closed his eyes, feeling the energy from the dicinal liquid, and with the self-healing ability of the "Heavenly Dragon Golden Body," he began to heal at an accelerated pace.
After a long while, Ling Xiao opened his eyes, only to find that the Moon Lady was no longer there, and neatly folded next to the bath were his clothes.
He put on the clothes and saw a note placed on top of the bedding, upon which a ssage was written.
"Ling Xiao, I am very grateful for your care during this ti, but the more you do so, the less I can allow you to join on this adventure. I will get the Earth Spirit-Origin Stone for you. Once you wake up, leave the Thousand Ghosts Forest as quickly as possible—Moon Lady."
Below the na, there was a cute smiling face drawn.
"This woman!"
Ling Xiao couldn’t help but shake his head and let out a wry smile.
"Master, I apologize, but your disciple is going to go crazy this ti, because I think I’ve fallen in love with that woman."
The feeling was different from that with Ling Yixue, with Dai Yuling, with Leng i.
Ling Xiao felt that this ti, he really was caught in a snare of love.
"Even if it costs my life, I must keep her safe!"
The Yuan Venerate remained silent; this ti, it seed to have truly fallen into a deep slumber.
Ling Xiao leapt out of the cave.
The battle had already begun.
However, it didn’t seem like a fight between the Moon Lady and the Evil Beast Demon King, but rather the underlings of the Evil Beast Demon King were guarding their master.
It was likely that the creature hadn’t fully recovered yet, so it was not the right ti for it to fight.
With this in mind, Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the Evil Beast Demon King didn’t take action, then the Moon Lady wouldn’t face any danger.
What he needed to do now was to take advantage of the start of this great battle to sneak into the hiding place of the Evil Beast Demon King and strike a major blow!
Although he knew that his own cultivation level was worlds apart from the Moon Lady’s, if he loved a woman, he should go all out to protect her.
Even if his opponent was a powerful being like the Evil Beast Demon King.
Of course, he wasn’t reckless. He had carefully analyzed the situation before deciding to take this action.
The injuries of the Evil Beast Demon King were probably more severe than imagined; after all, that creature lacked a suitable body, and bearing injuries with just a soul must have ant very serious damage.
Perhaps he could take care of that creature without needing the Moon Lady to make a move.
