Rustling sounds came from the white fog. Something was approaching from all directions.
Mountain rats! It was countless mountain rats!
Xiao Yunchen's body tensed up.
To protect the body of the boundary and send the aura, while the mountain rats had not surrounded him, Xiao Yunchen summoned a flying sword, instantly killed four, wanting to rush out of a blood road.
But there were so many mountain rats that it seemed impossible to kill them all.
Xiao Yunchen was in the body of the spirit of the rapid consumption, but even the spirit was half-swallowed by him, just when he was about to run out of oil lamp.
A hand suddenly seized his wrist.
"Brother Xiao, follow me!"
The familiar voice let Xiao Yunchen put down his guard.
Although he did not know how Xia Ling came to his side, he only felt that the space was distorted for a moment. Xiao Yunchen's eyes suddenly became clear. He had already appeared in a valley of green mountains and rivers.
"Xia Ling, we..."
Xiao Yunchen turned his head to look at the slender youth. Before he could finish his words, his expression froze.
Dark red blood was flowing out from the corners of the youth's eyes, nostrils, and mouth, leaving terrifying traces on his face.
"What's wrong? Senior brother Xiao, why are you looking at me like that?" He looked at Xiao Yunchen without knowing it.
Xia Ling only felt that Xiao Yun's expression was getting more and more serious, and the way he looked at her was getting more and more strange.
Suddenly, something was dripping on her lapels. She lowered her head to take a look, and Xia Ling frantically rummaged through her space bag.
She muttered angrily, "Really! Why is it flowing again! Where's my handkerchief, handkerchief...?"
When was it not flowing? It had to be when Xiao Yunchen was here. This was great, bleeding from all seven orifices in front of him. It was so embarrassing!
In the future, she must never let him know that she was Jun Jiu!
Frustrated, Xia Ling handed a clean handkerchief in front of her.
Xia Ling froze for a moment. She looked up at Xiao Yunchen and slowly took the handkerchief. Then, she turned around and took out a water mirror to wipe the blood off her face.
She threw the handkerchief into her space bag and prepared to use the breeze incantation to wash it a few more times before returning it.
"Thank you, senior brother Xiao!" Xia Ling thanked Xiao Yunchen.
She smiled, but Xiao Yunchen still had a straight face.
Xia Ling wanted to tease him a little, but before she could say anything, her hand was suddenly grabbed by Xiao Yunchen.
He grabbed Xia Ling's wrist and circulated his genuine qi around Xia Ling's body.
Xia Ling did not feel any pain, but blood did flow out of her throat. She could not help but spit out another mouthful.
The blood directly landed on Xiao Yunchen's green robe.
"I'm sorry, senior brother Xiao, I dirtied your robe again."
Xiao Yunchen stared at her for a long time.
Then he said, "You endured the pain and forced a smile in front of senior brother and me. You risked your life to save me again. Junior brother Xia, in your eyes, am I the kind of person who can't even bear to part with a robe?"
Forced a smile? Risk his life?
Xia Ling shook her head and only then did she realize that with her current body, the system did not help shield her from pain.
The pill palace had been shattered into such a desperate situation, and she had used her true qi to save Xiao Yunchen. It was indeed risking her life to save someone!
Xia Ling chuckled. "senior brother Xiao, there's no need to treat each other as strangers! "
Xiao Yunchen shook his head, calm and stubborn. "No, junior brother Xia, I did not expect that you would be in such a situation. If I can't protect you in the mystic realm from now on, you can use your sword. Don't use your true qi again and hurt the pill palace."
"I'm sorry, it's senior brother's fault. I reprimanded you for using your sword before, but I didn't know that you were in such a situation!"
