[Inner Domain, The Great Amount of Kunlun Mountain, First Layer]
"Be careful!"
{Master!}
Two voices sounded at the same time. Before Huang Ying Yue had time to react to what happened, she saw Huang Wan Yan's body fly backward like a kite that broke from its flying line.
"Puff!" Huang Wan Yan's gorgeous face was stained with blood as his body hit a hard rock fiercely.
His tidy Hanfu dress was burned and tattered. His internal organs suffered such a huge, shocking attack.
"You!" Huang Ying Yue was stunned as she ran to pick him up gently and check out if he was still alive. Why? Why would he rather lose his life to protect her?
Just now, while she was preparing the power to counterattack, the Fire Cloud Fox didn't give her any chance to come back. The Fire Cloud Fox immediately unleashed another attack on her.
Everything happened for just a second. When she thought that she would be hurt again, Huang Wan Yan suddenly appeared in front of her and took all the attacking power that came from the Fire Cloud Fox when he pushed her away from that place.
"Eat this!" She didn't have time to be puzzled; she put a round pill with seven leaf patterns inside his mouth.
Then, she used her spiritual power to repair his damaging organs and stop the bleeding on his body.
There were countless healing pills inside her ethereal small world; she could afford to help him.
"I don't want you to be hurt." Huang Wan Yan said it with difficulty, yet his dull eyes flashed unwillingness. Again, he could do nothing but bring a burden to her.
He swore that after he became the sect disciples, he would cultivate hard; he'd do any means to become stronger, strong enough that no one could hurt her in front of him again and again.
Huang Ying Yue looked at him, and her heart suddenly felt that something was loosening. If she doubted that he was close to her because of something before, now she could be sure that he was sincere with her.
He just wished for her warmth and her love for him as his elder sister. He wished for the warmth that he failed to get from the people he expected.
"Rest well; let your sister deal with this." Huang Ying Yue kissed Huang Wan Yan's forehead softly as she muttered.
The extremely soft voice like a beautiful song from heaven echoed inside his ears, and the girl's light rose fragrance floated to his nose.
Huang Wan Yan was in a daze. He looked at her face stupidly. He had never seen her so gentle and close to him. Did she kiss him? His chest beat was hardly like a drum.
Xiao Yun looked at her gentleness as he shook his head. This boy will be his opponent to fight for the master's attention from now on.
Nevertheless, he, as a powerful being and good person (in the master's eyes), won't care sharing some warm words from the master with Huang Wan Yan because this kid was pitiful and loyal to his master.
Huang Ying Yue didn't find this action ambiguous because, when she was young in modern times, the man who rescued her always kissed her on the forehead.
He said that kissing on the forehead was the social kissing gesture to indicate friendship or to denote comforting someone.
In some cultures, forehead kissing is a gesture of apology as well as a sign of acknowledgment of grievance on the part of the person being kissed.
She acknowledged Huang Wan Yan this time. She'll never doubt him again, no matter what.
She was guilty that he gave her all his sincerity just to get even a tiny bit of warmth and care from her, yet she always raised her vigilance against him just because she always thought that he was the heroine's biological brother and the heroine's man.
Huang Ying Yue was this kind of person. If she decides to trust someone, she will never doubt that person. But it wasn't easy to gain her trust.
She was affectionate, but not foolish. In the moment of life and death, he didn't hesitate to risk his life and protect her. This was enough to get her acknowledgement.
A child was just around the beginning of the Foundation Establishment, fighting against the powerful spiritual beast that was as powerful as the people who were around stage 6 or 7, or the Core Formation period, was like facing death.
Huang Ying Yue struggled to stand up because she had been hit by the attack from the Fire Cloud Fox before. The spiritual power circled in her palms.
The spiritual power of a person who was at stage 12 of the Foundation Establishment was not to be underestimated.
Her palms were covered with the scarlet fire, mixed with 2% of the purple fire. The intense heat that emitted from the fire was hot.
All her thought was nothing but protecting the people she cared for and the people who were being sincere to her.
The surrounding air twisted, and powerful breath suddenly emitted from Huang Ying Yue's body. The Fire Cloud Fox sensed the threatening breath from her; its entire body suddenly covered with the hot flame.
Huang Ying Yue didn't learn any martial arts skills; her attack was mainly just using the pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth combined with her external strength.
When Huang Ying Yue waved her hands to send the spiritual power to attack, the Fire Cloud Fox made another attack as it rushed straight to her.
Two powerful powers clashed with each other, shaking the surrounding area, yet no one seemed to notice this fierce battle, as if something prevented people from feeling it. The sparkling light could be seen everywhere, almost blinding people's eyes.
Huang Wan Yan was anxious, but he couldn't stand up and move because most of his ribs and bones were broken. Without the Tier 7 healing pill, he might have become a disabled person long ago.
Huang Ying Yue and the Fire Cloud Fox stepped back together, and two figures spit out blood.
Huang Ying Yue's hands were shaking because of excessive force, and her body turned bloody because her skin was torn open by the spiritual power.
Some of her skin was burned black, yet she didn't frown or say anything. She and the Fire Fox Cloud looked at each other for a while, then immersed themselves in another battle between the two again.
The Blue Ice White Tiger looked at the girl's weak and bloody body, yet she still insisted on fighting with the Fire Cloud Fox.
Again and again, she fell on the land, then stood up and rushed to fight with the Fire Cloud Fox without retreating, no matter how much blood she shed.
Xiao Yun and Huang Wan Yan's eyes turned blurred and misty as they stared at the slender figure who was stubbornly standing against her foe bravely.
The Fire Cloud Fox's cold and fierce pupils flashed with an unknown emotion. The Fire Cloud Fox suddenly increased his attack, sending Huang Ying Yue to hit a tree 30 meters ahead.
Huang Ying Yue stood up again and fought again. The longer she fought, the more she felt like she was getting powerful. She ignored her pain and blood and immersed herself in learning the real battle between life and death as she observed the Fire Cloud Fox's attack.
The Blue Ice White Tiger stood there motionless, looking at the battle with its cold and mysterious eyes. This human is different from the other humans it has seen.
To protect that child, she would rather let herself get hurt than hide behind the man's back and take the opportunity to run away. The Blue Ice White Tiger knew that she could flee by herself, yet she chose to stay and face them.
Other humans might have fallen a long time ago in this situation. This girl looked like she was on the verge of her death many times, yet, miraculously, she stood up and got more and more powerful.
The first time, she couldn't even face the Fire Cloud Fox's first strike at all. Now, when the Fire Cloud Dox strikes three times, she can fight back without falling on the land.
But that's it; no matter how much she persisted, the differences in power between the two opponents were far different. She'll soon lose.
Huang Ying Yue was now covered in blood; not a place on her body was intact. Her left wrist was broken, her right leg was soft, and her skin was burned. Everyone could smell the scorching smell of burning from her.
"Sister, please stop." Huang Wan Yan's choking voice sounded as he stared at her tightly. As long as something happens to her, he'll go with her.
