When Lu Sangjiu woke up again, he found that it was already dark as soon as he opened his eyes.
She is still in the woods, but...it doesn't seem to be Menghua Forest anymore?
The reason for this speculation is that the annoying fog is no longer around.
Feeling the flames beating around her, she tried hard to turn around and take a look, but first she heard a familiar voice, "Don't move, it doesn't hurt?"
Lu Sangjiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to have strength. He was struggling slowly just now, but this time he turned around suddenly.
"Hiss..." There was a pain in the wound on her body, but she could only take a breath of cold air. She did not look at herself at all, but looked eagerly at the figure beside the fire.
But because of her disregard for her own body, the figure moved to her side in a swish, and held her firmly with both hands.
"You really don't mind the pain?"
Lu Sangjiu grasped his wrist with one hand and looked up at him slightly, as if eager to confirm.
The moment she saw the face clearly, she opened her mouth, but she hesitated when she asked, "Xie Ningyuan... are you okay?"
Xie Ningyuan saw her concerned gaze clearly, his brows relaxed slightly, and his tone subconsciously became a little gentler.
"It's okay, don't worry."
As he spoke, he gently helped her sit up, "What you should worry about now is yourself."
"We haven't seen each other for just a few days, why are you like this?"
Lu Sangjiu didn't let go. Her fingers went down his wrist until they touched the warm skin on the back of his hand, and it seemed that she finally felt a little more real.
Xie Ningyuan felt the touch on the back of his hand and paused slightly.
However, before his eyes could move down, she had already let go.
He looked into her eyes again and saw that her emotions had calmed down, and now she looked like she was neither far nor near to him anymore.
She pulled out a smile and said in a relaxed tone, "...Why are you here?"
After a moment of pause, Xie Ningyuan suddenly let out a "tsk" sound, "That smile is so ugly."
As he spoke, he put a pill directly into her mouth without much gentleness, "We'll talk about the gossip later, heal the wound first."
She had been in a coma before, unable to use her energy to refine the medicine on her own.
In addition, her current body is inaccessible to outsiders, so he can't help.
If you feed her an elixir that is too powerful, it will actually harm her, so you can only feed her some low-level elixirs to slowly repair her body.
Now that she is awake, in order to make her recover faster, it is natural to feed her some good elixirs.
Lu Sangjiu was stuffed with a fifth-grade elixir, and he really couldn't think of talking anymore. He had to close his eyes immediately and concentrate on practicing his martial arts to refine the power of the medicine in his body.
When she woke up again, it was already dawn, and Xie Ningyuan was leaning against the tree next to her with her eyes closed to rest.
Sensing the fluctuation of her aura, he opened his eyes and met her looking eyes.
For some reason, he didn't speak immediately. Instead, he stared at her silently for three breaths before asking, "...feeling better?"
Lu Sangjiu didn't know why, but this ordinary look at each other and a question made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
She looked away slightly and then said "Yeah", "It doesn't hurt that much...Thank you."
Xie Ningyuan waved his hand, and a table appeared in front of Lu Sangjiu with steaming meals on it, "Let's have something to eat."
Lu Sangjiu picked up the chopsticks and subconsciously asked, "Did you make it?"
"Otherwise? Where can I find a cook for you in this wilderness?"
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
Talking nicely will kill you, right?
Sure enough, his gentleness can only be maintained for a moment, and it is his nature to criticize people.
She lowered her head and picked up her chopsticks and started eating slowly. After a few mouthfuls of hot food, she gradually relaxed, and the weird discomfort she felt just now quietly dissipated.
Then while eating, she asked Xie Ningyuan what happened during her coma.
In fact, to put it simply, after Xie Ningyuan regained consciousness, she still remembered the agreement to come to Qingyun Prefecture with Lu Sangjiu. She was worried that she would have problems alone, so she immediately rushed to Qingyun Prefecture.
As soon as he arrived here, he sensed the location of the bodhi bead, and after searching for it, he found Lu Sangjiu, who was almost killed by his own fairy magic.
He felt that there were still many people in the forest, so in order to avoid trouble, he simply used an escape talisman with them and left Menghua Forest.
Hearing what Xie Ningyuan said, Lu Sangjiu couldn't help but wonder, "The heavy fog in Menghua Forest should have weakened the effect of the Earth Escape Talisman. Why can you just take me away?"
"Hmm... maybe it's because I'm using a seventh-grade earth escape talisman?"
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
Excuse me, I don’t understand the world of rich people!
The corners of her mouth twitched, and then she changed the subject very wisely, "Then where are we now?"
"I don't know. The Earth Escape Talisman brought us here. I saw that there were few people here, so I didn't change places."
Well...as long as there's no danger, it doesn't matter where.
Lu Sangjiu then remembered a more important point, "When you found me, was the black-robed man in the divine transformation stage dead?"
Xie Ningyuan tried to think back, then shook his head and said, "I didn't see the man in black robe."
Lu Sangjiu's heart tightened. Could it be that he ran away? But if he could still run, why didn't he kill her or capture her?
Just as he was frowning and thinking, he heard Xie Ningyuan continue slowly: "But I did see some remains of corpses there. They were all broken into pieces. Who knows if they were wearing black clothes."
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
You're out of breath when you talk, right? !
She glared at Xie Ningyuan angrily and said very firmly, "You did it on purpose!"
Xie Ningyuan felt satisfied for a moment and stopped teasing her. He said with a smile on his face: "Your blow was so powerful that the ground with a radius of two miles was blown into a deep pit. How can you still survive in the transformation stage?"
"Don't worry, he's dead. I even helped you pick up his stored magic weapon."
As he spoke, he placed a jade pendant in her palm.
"Even his bones were broken, but this thing is intact. It's a good thing."
"But I suggest you study it after your injury is healed. Leave it alone for now."
Lu Sangjiu was suddenly pleasantly surprised. Unexpectedly, not only did the man die, but he also got the loot!
When she was happy, she was very generous in praising him, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, you are such a good person. I am lucky to have you!"
Xie Ningyuan was speechless, "...you changed your attitude so quickly. Didn't you just glare at me?"
Lu Sangjiu put the things away with a smile, "How could I? Am I not doing this just to cooperate with you? If I didn't pretend to be angry, there would be no sense of accomplishment if you lied to me, right?"
Xie Ningyuan: "..."
Okay, you can say this, you are awesome!
Lu Sangjiu asked all the important things clearly, and he also knew that Xie Ningyuan probably didn't know about other things, so he didn't waste any time.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Your inner demon..."
