[Silver Domain, Willow Tree Forest]
As her body sank deeper and deeper, she was unconscious due to a lack of air to breathe, so she was unaware of what was happening to her right now.
When she was unconscious, the red blood in the lake unexpectedly flowed into her invisible old bracelet around her slender wrist.
The bracelet unexpectedly shone, as on her forehead appeared a strange white-red symbol like a type of magic tattoo.
There was a dark red light under her feet, wrapping around her body.
Her strength unexpectedly soared directly to level 9 of the Establishment.
If this strange phenomenon leaked out, people would be left speechless.
Can people be dragged under the water, lose consciousness, and then have their cultivation level randomly promoted to several levels?
Fortunately, no one here saw this phenomenon; only the spirit water vine witnessed this amazing event.
Unfortunately, the spirit water vine was a low-level monster, and its consciousness and knowledge were limited. It didn't understand what was happening at all.
The spirit water vine seemed to notice that she stopped moving. It was anxious and didn't know what to do.
When it sensed the familiar breath was approaching, it was content.
The green light on the spirit water vine shone brighter, looking so magical.
The silhouette approached, showing the tall figure as a strange one. There was so much blood flowing everywhere that the figure was swimming.
When the figure saw that her breath was getting weaker and weaker, he looked at her closer.
"She'll die if you keep sinking her deeper." The man's voice was so captivating, like a melody that played inside people's souls repeatedly.
Yet his voice was weak and low, as if he were suffering something.
The spirit water vine shook as if it understood the man's words. It loosened the grip that was holding Xiu Wanxue's body. It turned motionless, as if it were reflecting on its fault for unintentionally hurting her.
The man's hands touched Xiu Wanxue's face, stroking her long, snow-white hair that was floating under the lake.
He lowered his head, putting his soft lips against her soft lips as his hands with the sharp and long purple nails pulled open her lips. (His nails are not too long, only 3cm)
He blew the air into her mouth, intending to give her the oxygen she needed to breathe.
His strong and slender hands cuddled her body closely to him as he swam to the surface of the lake.
The spirit water vine seemed to understand the man's intention, so it helped the man pull her body to the surface of the lake.
"Be gentle." The man stopped blowing the air into her mouth for a moment to tell the spirit water vine.
After he said that, he put his soft lips against her pale lips again to give her air to breathe.
The spirit water vine didn't know what gentleness was. Nevertheless, it subconsciously reduced its strength and pulled her up to the surface.
"Plop!!" The sound of the water splashing echoed.
The man swam to the surface, carrying her in a princess posture, as if he were carrying a treasure. He injected the spiritual power inside of her body, wishing that she would get better.
When he put her on the shore, he wanted to return to the water, only to find out that he could not hold on anymore, so he fainted on her.
The spirit water vine was anxious and didn't know what to do. It wanted to wake her up but didn't know how to.
So, it approached her, tickling her nose and ears to make her feel itchy.
"Cough!!" Xiu Wanxue was like a dying fish, struggling to live and returning to life after she vomited a huge amount of water out.
"Am I finally reincarnated?" She inhaled deep air heavily with her red face.
She thought that she was dead and reborn again when her eyes returned to normal; she could see the surroundings clearly, so she knew that she hadn't died yet!
Isn't this the place where she comes to pick up the spirit fruits?
She felt a heavy object pressing on her body, so she looked curiously. She saw a man with wet white hair sticking to his smooth forehead pressing his face on her neck, his hands wrapped around her waist and body.
His body was bare without wearing any robes, revealing his smooth and flawless white skin like snow that somehow glittered lightly under the sun.
This place looked like another small forest, so no wonder that there would be sunlight piercing through the trees' leaves above her head.
Normal people's reaction would be like, Ahh, some pervert white-haired old man is molesting me!
But her reaction wasn't like this.
The first thought that came to her mind was: Was he the one who saved her?
She remembered that she was dragged down to the lake by the spirit water vine, and she lost her consciousness.
"Senior…." She didn't know how to address him or how old he was, so she called out of respect.
She didn't hear his response, so she touched his right shoulder to shake him, only to find out that he wasn't moving.
Then she smelled the sweet blood again. This time, she was quick to react and knew that the blood might come out of his body.
"Senior, I'm sorry to offense!!" She said before she pushed him from her body. She didn't use much force because she was afraid that she would hurt him.
(I'm sorry to offense: to apologize for her lack of respect when she touched his body to clean his blood without his permission.)
When she saw his front body and face, she was shocked.
Because this man was covered in blood from his abdomen to his face! Didn't the blood wash away in the water? Why would there be blood on him? How much did he bleed?
While she was thinking, her movement was faster than that of her brain. She did her best to find out where the blood came from in his body.
When she found out that the blood came from his abdomen muscles, she took out the towel from her bracelet and put it on his abdomen to stop the bleeding.
She applied pressure to the wound, placed a clean and dry towel on the wound, and applied the pressure with both hands. She maintained firm and continuous pressure.
While doing so, her spiritual sense looked through her small world, trying to find the herbs to stop the bleeding and the pill to relieve his pain.
"Yarrow plant, stop bleeding." She muttered the name of the spirit plant to stop the bleeding.
