Seeing the concern on the girl's face, Lu Qingye's eyes flashed.
"Did you...save me?"
Qianye's eyes widened slightly. After struggling for a while, he still didn't hide anything from Lu Qingye.
"I...I just brought you back from Kuze Lake, and...I don't have precious medicinal materials and soul pills to heal your injuries..."
Having said this, Chiba felt a little disappointed.
If she had these things, maybe she could justifiably keep Lu Qingye and let her repay her for saving her life...
Lu Qingye suppressed the itching in his throat.
"Thank you."
Qianye raised his head suddenly, somewhat in disbelief.
She wasn't much help after all.
When she rescued Lu Qingye, she really wanted to lie and hide it after he woke up, but she still didn't do that.
Grandpa said that even if they don't have much ability, they must have their own thoughts and bottom line.
However, when Qianye first met Lu Qingye, he was still a little scared, fearing that the four dangerous soul cultivators he had rescued would bring danger to himself!
But...she had no choice.
Grandpa went out and didn't come back for more than a month. This was something that had never happened before.
Chiba's uneasiness grew stronger and she was worried that her grandfather was in danger.
But she is just an ordinary soul person without soul power. It is impossible to go out to find someone.
Maybe he was swallowed up by other souls and evil spirits before he left the Kuze Lake!
And since Qianluo hasn't come back for a long time, some souls by Kuze Lake have set their sights on Qianye and this thatched house.
Fortunately, her luck was not that bad. This soul was not one of those evil spirits!
After all, how could a ghast say thank you?
The little girl was in a rare mood. She hurried to a corner of the thatched house and dug her hands on the ground. After a while, a cloth bag appeared in Qianye's hand.
There were several gray lumps in the cloth bag, and Qianye carefully handed one to Lu Qingye.
Lu Qingye didn't recognize the gray lumps in the cloth bag, nor did he know what Qianye meant.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Chiba was a little confused.
"You...have been asleep for so long, aren't you hungry?"
Lu Qingye instantly understood that the thing Qianye handed her was food.
She took the gray thing and thanked her again.
The outer shell of the gray lump is a bit hard, and it also exudes a faint earthy smell. Lu Qingye's first impression of it was that it was ugly and probably not tasty.
Although she was injured, it was not that her cultivation had regressed, it was just that the power she could use was equivalent to perfect Qi training.
My body is still in the golden elixir stage, so I don't feel hungry.
And with the vigilance of a newcomer, she would not eat anything given by a stranger, even if the other person was just a seemingly harmless child.
But in order to lower Qianye's vigilance, Lu Qingye used a blind trick to pretend to have eaten the gray pimple.
Chiba heard the sound of her chewing and swallowed subconsciously.
The gray fruit was left by her grandfather before he left. The original time limit was half a month at most.
There are only a few gray fruits left in my hand now.
In order to save food, Chiba would often go out to find something to eat nearby during these days. Unfortunately, the food that could satisfy his hunger had long been picked by those souls.
She had been hungry for several days and relied on a little food every day to survive. (End of chapter)
