“I am fine!” Ye Chu steadied himself stumblingly amid Zhong Wei’s sobbing tone, gently pushed Zhong Wei away, and looked toward Kuang Feng.
Kuang Feng had just punched Ye Chu, and blood constantly flowed from the corner of his mouth. He had just been severely injured by Ye Chu’s punch. This time he had forcibly mustered a burst of strength to sneak attack Zhong Wei. He had originally thought he could severely wound Zhong Wei and capture this woman. But he had not expected Ye Chu would actually use his body to block the strike for her.
Looking at Ye Chu standing there with a pale face, Kuang Feng gritted his teeth, stared at Ye Chu and snorted, “Today counts as your good fortune. Another day I will certainly take your life.”
After speaking, Kuang Feng leaped and fled from here. Kuang Feng was very clear about his current situation. Although Ye Chu was also severely wounded, he was not much better off. If they really fought, it would certainly be mutual destruction.
Watching Kuang Feng leave, Ye Chu also suddenly went limp. Just as Ye Chu was about to fall to the ground, a warm and soft embrace caught him. Ye Chu looked up and saw a pair of concerned eyes. Ye Chu tugged at the corner of his mouth, made a smile and said, “Rest assured, it is nothing serious. Just my blood and qi are churning fiercely. I need to properly regulate my breathing.”
After all, this punch from Kuang Feng was thrown while he was severely wounded. Even though it was extraordinary, with Ye Chu’s physical body, it could only inflict severe wounds upon him.
But for Ye Chu, who cultivated various marvellous arts and the Witch Body Technique, he was not afraid of this. Besides, he still had a demonic spirit medicinal bamboo. He only needed to recuperate for a period of time, and he could recover.
Compared to injuries suffered in the past, this time did not count for much.
Watching Ye Chu sitting there cross-legged cultivating, Zhong Wei guarded beside him. Her gaze fell upon Ye Chu’s body. Looking at the palm print on Ye Chu’s back, her expression was somewhat dazed.
Ye Chu did not meditate for too long. The moment Ye Chu opened his eyes, Zhong Wei quickly took out several medicinal pills and helped feed them into Ye Chu’s mouth.
Slender fingers touched Ye Chu’s lips, carrying a cool sensation. Ye Chu opened his mouth to hold the medicinal pill. Zhong Wei’s finger was also held inside for a small section.
Zhong Wei hurriedly withdrew her hand, her face flushed crimson. She glared fiercely at Ye Chu, thinking that this fellow was still not behaving even while suffering such injuries.
The medicinal pill melted upon entering the mouth. A warm current flowed through Ye Chu’s four limbs and hundred bones. The injuries on his body were slowly smoothed away, and his blood and qi no longer churned endlessly.
This made Ye Chu astonished. He could not help but look toward Zhong Wei and ask, “What kind of medicinal pill is this, to actually have such divine efficacy!”
“My clan’s sacred healing medicine!” Zhong Wei answered, “How is it? A bit better? Hurry up and meditate to rest for a while.”
Ye Chu shook his head and said, “I cannot meditate here anymore. This time we were lucky. My fight with Kuang Feng did not attract other experts. But staying here for long will not do. Soon people will find this place. With my current physical condition, I need at least two or three days to recover. Within these two or three days, it is not good to fight with people.”
“But your body…” Zhong Wei asked worriedly.
“It is fine. Although the injuries are not fully healed, the blood and qi have calmed. Travelling is no problem!” Ye Chu stood up and had Zhong Wei lead the way forward.
Seeing Ye Chu like this, Zhong Wei nodded and led the way in front.
…
“You are a human prodigy?” Zhong Wei asked Ye Chu, “Which holy land in the Sentiment Domain are you actually the successor of?”
In Zhong Wei’s view, Ye Chu constantly used various marvellous arts, and was also a human prodigy. Only the foundation of a holy land could cultivate such a person. If it was a holy land, perhaps she knew of this holy land.
“I am not from the Sentiment Domain. I come from a kingdom!” Ye Chu shrugged his shoulders and said, “What, if I came from a remote backwater you would ignore me?”
Zhong Wei shook her head and said, “That marvellous art of yours that seizes others’ spiritual energy, plus the Sentiment Flash, plus your movement technique, these are not things ordinary families can produce. Moreover, you can defeat a sixth level with a second level. Only a holy land could possibly cultivate such a person.”
In Zhong Wei’s view, even for a human prodigy, wanting to cross four ranks was extremely difficult.
Hearing Zhong Wei’s words, Ye Chu smiled bitterly. He thought that his defeat of Kuang Feng was truly a narrow victory. If not for Kuang Feng being certain of victory and harbouring contempt, plus Ye Chu having a demonic technique sneak attack that temporarily suppressed his primal spirit for a moment, causing him to reveal a huge flaw, the outcome of this battle would truly be hard to say.
If he encountered Kuang Feng next time, he would not have such good fortune as this time. Because next time, the effect of his demonic technique would be very limited.
Seeing Ye Chu not answer, Zhong Wei continued and said, “Sentiment Flash is said to be a method unique to the Sentiment Saint. Could you really be the successor of the Sentiment Saint? However, back then the Sentiment Saint died upon achieving the Supreme position. How could he leave behind a successor?”
Ye Chu thought that Zhong Wei indeed knew quite a bit, even being so clear about matters in the Sentiment Domain. “I am definitely not from a holy land. As for why I have these marvellous arts, I accidentally obtained them and cultivated them.”
One sentence nearly made Zhong Wei fall to the ground. She could not see through any of these marvellous arts. Clearly they were profound to the extreme. To say such marvellous arts were accidentally obtained, saying this out loud would get one scolded to death.
Seeing Ye Chu not speak of his origins, Zhong Wei shrugged her shoulders and said nothing. Seeing there were wounds on Ye Chu’s hand, she tore off a strip of cloth and helped wrap Ye Chu’s arm.
The warm and soft small hands helped him wrap the wound. Ye Chu was slightly startled. He had not expected this woman would do such a thing for him.
“You really want to know my origins?” Ye Chu asked Zhong Wei.
“I do!” After Zhong Wei spoke, she suddenly thought of something, then smiled bitterly and said, “Actually, it does not matter anymore!”
“Have you heard of Wuxin Peak on Qingmi Mountain?” Ye Chu did not know why this woman suddenly had such a sigh, but he also did not conceal it. His origins were not some great secret. There was nothing he could not tell people.
“Wuxin Peak?” Zhong Wei frowned. She had never heard of this place. She knew nearly all the holy lands in the world. Even many great powers that were not holy lands she was clear about. But she had never heard of Wuxin Peak.
“You have not heard of it, right?” Ye Chu laughed. He knew Zhong Wei had not heard of it. In the Sentiment Domain, few people knew of Wuxin Peak.
“I will also tell you a secret!” Zhong Wei thought for a moment, looked at Ye Chu and said, “I am the great-granddaughter of the Second Elder of Heavenly Mansion!”
“What?!” Ye Chu’s eyes widened. He looked at Zhong Wei in disbelief. Looking at this graceful and elegant, absolutely extraordinary woman before him. Ye Chu could never have imagined that Zhong Wei had such an identity.
What did the Second Elder of Heavenly Mansion represent?
There were several most powerful forces in the world, far above holy lands. These powers even Supremes had to avoid their sharpness, not daring to claim they could kill them. Among them were Demon Palace, Devil Hall and so on, and Heavenly Mansion was also one.
In an era when Supremes did not emerge and absolute experts had disappeared, these powers were controlled by elders. And from what Shui Gu had learned, the Great Elder of Heavenly Mansion had disappeared for many years. The one currently controlling Heavenly Mansion was the Second Elder of Heavenly Mansion.
And the woman before him was the daughter of the controller of such a colossal power. This…
Looking at the woman with a smiling face before him, Ye Chu felt his breathing become rapid. He wondered whether he should hug her thigh…
