Chapter 1251 Smile
A year later, Ling Shi arrived at Nanling.
Coming out of Xiaonangong, he walked north with one sword and one man.
Along the way, he passed many cities and mountain gates, but none of them entered. He was thirsty to drink from mountain springs and hungry to eat wild fruits. When he was tired, he would just find a secret place to meditate and adjust his breath. Sometimes, if he was lucky, he could find some precious gems. Herbs.
He also saw many small groups of Demon Sect and Ling Sect monks from a distance, but he was careful to avoid them. However, he had seen the Demon Sect monks killing ordinary people several times. He really couldn't stand it and treated the Demon Sect monks. He also had a grudge, so he took action, but he always left immediately after the fight, without any delay.
He did not use the Black Demon Sword and relied entirely on his own cultivation. Fortunately, those Demon Sect monks were not very strong and were easily killed by him in the end.
During the journey, he did not neglect his cultivation. He used various medicinal herbs. When he arrived at Nanling, his cultivation reached a higher level and he entered the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
The Nanling Mountains, which run east-west, stretch for thousands of miles. If Lingshi wants to continue going north, he must pass through this mountain range. Otherwise, if he bypasses the Nanling Mountains, it will take a long time.
Even if Nangong Huan had no information about such a mountain range, Ling Shi knew that it must be extremely dangerous.
However, he had no other option.
After restoring his condition to its peak, Ling Shi took a deep breath and plunged into the Nanling Mountains.
He was very careful and almost never touched the ground. He used the cover of the towering trees to carefully identify the direction while paying close attention to the movements on the ground.
"help me--"
On this day, Ling Shi stayed on a giant tree and looked at the ground where the cry for help came from.
He frowned slightly, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
A girl was lying in the grass. Her face was as pale as paper, her breath was weak, blood was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, her eyes were horrified, and she was obviously seriously injured.
Ling Shi is very cautious, but if he encounters it, it is not his style to let it go.
He looked around and saw that everything was calm. After pondering for a long time, he decided to save the girl.
He jumped down from the tree and flew towards the girl.
"Girl, how are you?" Ling Shi asked.
When the girl heard Ling Shi's voice, she showed joy at first, and then turned into sadness: "Please... help me... please..."
Her lips were trembling violently, as if she wanted to cry, but she was holding back, which was really pitiful.
Ling Shi asked: "Can you tell me something?"
He decided to help, but still cautiously.
The girl raised her eyes and looked at him: "May I ask your surname?"
Ling Shi hesitated for a moment and finally told the truth: "Ling Shi."
The girl gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Ling, my name is Xiaoxiao. I am seriously injured now. I hope Mr. Ling can help me. If Mr. Ling is willing to help me, I am willing to do anything to repay you!"
"Oh?" Ling Shi was slightly startled.
"That's it, Mr. Ling. A few days ago, a group of Demon Sect disciples raided my family's residence and killed my grandfather and parents. Now, our entire family has been slaughtered by the Demon Sect. Moreover, they also forced me to Married as a concubine to a demon general... I escaped while they were not paying attention, but they soon found out. I fought with them for a few times, and finally escaped with injuries and escaped all the way here." Xiaoxiao smiled miserably. , continued: "If I hadn't met Mr. Ling, even if I hadn't been chased by them, I would have died here."
Hearing this, Ling Shi's heart surged with anger: "The Demon Sect is bullying people too much!"
Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I know that the Demon Sect is powerful, and small families like ours are not their opponents, so I beg Master Ling to take me to hide for a while, and I will definitely thank you for your kindness. "
At the end of the story, she burst into tears.
"Let's leave here first." Ling Shi said decisively.
Ling Shi knelt down and tried to help her up.
He smiled and pretended to be a little exposed, and he didn't know if it was because of the battle with the Demon Sect monks. The ravine on his chest came into view. Ling Shi's outstretched hand suddenly froze, and he quickly looked away.
Xiaoxiao took the initiative to put her slender hand in his palm.
Ling Shi calmed down and asked, "Can you still leave?"
Xiaoxiao shook her head with a wry smile: "I don't have much strength now..."
Ling Shi had no choice but to squat down.
Xiaoxiao climbed onto his back with great effort.
"Thank you!" She said gratefully, her voice was so soft and beautiful that it made people feel soft and tender.
This voice was right next to his ears, and Ling Shi's heart swayed slightly. He quickly put away his distracting thoughts, and a feeling of pity arose spontaneously.
Ling Shi couldn't see it. At this time, the corners of his smiling mouth were slightly raised. After a moment, he returned to his pitiful appearance.
The two quickly left and walked in another direction.
With one person on his back, Ling Shi could no longer fly between the towering trees like before and could only walk on the ground.
Along the way, they encountered many monsters.
Ling Shi is not afraid of those low-level monsters, but Xiaoxiao is different. Although she has some cultivation, the spiritual energy in her body is thin and not enough to deal with those monsters.
Therefore, Ling Shi took action in time every time to resolve the crisis for her.
In the blink of an eye, three days later, Ling Shi came to a cave with Xiaoxiao on his back.
At this time, they had just experienced a fierce battle.
Ling Shi's clothes were in tatters, and there were five hideous claw marks on his left arm, dripping with blood.
And Xiaoxiao was even more embarrassed. She was covered in blood, her hair was disheveled, and her pretty face was stained with a lot of dirt and dust, and her original appearance could not be seen.
She leaned on Ling Shi's shoulder, dying.
"Master Ling, I can't hold on any longer..."
Ling Shi looked back and sighed when he saw her appearance.
She has indeed reached the point where the lamp is running out and her life is hanging by a thread. If she continues to struggle like this, she will definitely die.
Ling Shi put her down and made some cover at the entrance of the cave. Then, he returned to Xiaoxiao, took out all the remaining healing elixirs on his body, and fed them to her.
After Xiaoxiao took the elixir, she felt a little better, but she was still very weak.
She leaned on Ling Shi's chest and closed her eyes to rest.
Those cruel images and the desperate and painful expressions of her father and mother before they died appeared in her mind, and she burst into tears.
Ling Shi comforted him: "Don't worry, your parents are well-informed and they definitely want you to live."
"Well, I won't let them down. I must live!" Xiaoxiao clenched her fists and promised with difficulty, her voice choked with sobs: "They were killed by people from the Demon Sect, and I must avenge them!"
Ling Shi was silent.
He has a blood feud and is at odds with the Demon Sect, but the Demon Sect is so powerful that he cannot handle it now.
But he also knew that since Xiaoxiao said so, he would definitely do it. He and her could be considered people of the same fate, right?
"Master Ling, why do you want to save me?" Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.
"What do you think?"
"Of course it was because I was pretty that Mr. Ling rebelled and helped me!" Xiaoxiao said coquettishly: "This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a handsome, free-spirited and heroic man like you! "
Ling Shi was noncommittal: "You can still joke, I think it's better, right?"
"I...I feel a lot better, but..." Xiaoxiao managed to sit up straight, her eyes falling on the wounds on her chest and abdomen.
It was a traumatic injury. Because the injured area was quite special, Ling Shi did not dare to treat her at will, which caused the wound to worsen. If she did not treat it, it would seriously affect her actions.
"Mr. Ling, can you help me heal my wounds?" She looked at him with a smile.
Ling Shi hesitated for a long time and finally nodded.
He gathered some dead grass and spread it on the ground, then hugged Xiaoxiao and placed her on the dead grass.
"Your wound has suppurated and is completely stuck to your clothes. I...I need to take off your clothes..."
"Yeah." Xiaoxiao nodded shyly.
She bit her lip lightly, her eyes watery.
Since he decided to treat her, Ling Shi had already anticipated the scene he was about to face. He took a deep breath, suppressed the impulse in his body, and slowly tore apart her clothes piece by piece. Every time he tore off a piece, he smiled and smiled. With a groan, Ling Shi knew it was caused by pain.
After a long time, the beautiful scenery appeared, the snow-white skin, the plump and attractive chest, the only remaining piece of clothing could not stop it from jumping out, the waist was slender and soft...
Ling Shi endured it and forced himself to look away.
He used his magic power to clean her wound with the juice of the herb, and then crushed the healing elixir and applied it on it.
When the medicinal powder falls on the skin, there is an instant cooling sensation and the pain gradually subsides.
"Master Ling..." Xiaoxiao moaned in a low voice, seeming to be very comfortable.
"Hold it!" Ling Shi said calmly after applying the medicine, and began to use sharp bamboo needles and silk threads pulled from his clothes to sew her wounds. During this period, he kept using his magic power to relieve her pain.
After the wound was sutured, he covered it with a layer of herbs to speed up the healing of the wound.
After everything was done, Ling Shi took off his somewhat torn coat and covered Xiaoxiao's body.
Just as he was about to stand up, Xiaoxiao suddenly hugged him, and his coat slipped off instantly.
"Mr. Ling, you are such a good person." She breathed softly, her breath soft as blue.
She raised her head, her eyes shining with anticipation, as if she was waiting for Ling Shi's kiss.
However, Ling Shi didn't react at all, as if she was just an ordinary friend.
Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed.
She let go of Ling Shi and whispered, "You can sleep here tonight!"
Ling Shi said: "No, I will guard at the entrance of the cave."
Xiaoxiao did not insist and said: "Then you should rest early."
After saying that, she slowly lay down, pulled the coat casually, and held it tightly to her chest.
Ling Shi was sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, meditating.
Early the next morning, Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and saw Ling Shi at the entrance of the cave.
She asked in surprise: "You didn't leave?"
Ling Shi glanced at her and said calmly: "If I leave, who will take care of you?"
Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes, feeling a little moved.
"Thank you..." she said softly.
Ling Shi said: "You continue to recover from your injuries!"
"Yeah." Xiaoxiao closed her eyes again and continued to adjust her breath.
Half a month later, Xiaoxiao's wound was completely healed, not even a scar was left, which made her very happy.
She stretched her fists and legs, and her whole body was filled with explosive power.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ling Shi appeared at the entrance of the cave, looking very embarrassed.
"I encountered a group of powerful wolves, but luckily we were not in danger!" Ling Shi said with lingering fear.
"I'm already recovered. From now on, shall I go out to look for food?" He said with a smile.
During this period, Xiaoxiao had been recovering from his injuries, and Ling Shi was responsible for all the food and drinks. He even got some clothes from nowhere, so that the two of them were no longer naked.
Ling Shi didn't answer, he seemed to be thinking about something.
After a long while, he said: "Miss Xiaoxiao, now that you are well, I have to leave too."
"You don't want me anymore?" Xiaoxiao asked in shock.
"I...I still have something to do." Ling Shi didn't dare to look at her.
Xiaoxiao stopped talking, she seemed to be sobbing.
Ling Shi didn't know what to do.
"I know, you are afraid that I will drag you down... Can you walk tomorrow? You saved my life, and I haven't done anything for you yet..."
Ling Shi couldn't refuse.
"Be good, wait for me here, I'll go find some food, it'll be... it'll be our last supper."
Ling Shi sighed and had no choice but to let her disappear into the hidden forest.
He was not worried about her, because he had felt it a few days ago, and the other party seemed to be stronger than himself.
