There seemed to be a burn mark on his flawless face. The mark was faint, so faint that it was barely perceptible.
She frowned. She thought that her life was miserable, but someone else out there was even more miserable than her.
As a person who was reborn again, she clearly knew that everything happened for a reason. She didn't know what happened to him.
She didn't dare to touch his face or his tail after she wiped him clean. Without his permission, she will not touch his tail.
"Please look after him." She said to the spirit, Water vine.
The spirit water vine saw that she was leaving; it was panicking and wanted to stop her. So it entangled itself with her.
Xiu Wanxue was speechless. This spirit water vine is acting like a clinging baby right now.
"I will be back, I promise." She didn't know if the spirit water vine could understand her words, but she still patiently explained them to it.
"You've been hurt before; you should stay here and heal yourself." She stroked its body gently as she used her spiritual power to heal the coldness from the spirit water vine.
She attacked it fiercely; it must have been very hurtful.
She dropped a single drop of fairy water on the spirit water vine. Making sure that the vine was fine and even felt comfortable, she dropped more fairy water on the vine.
The spirit water vine seemed to be better; like a happy baby that was healed, it was even more grateful to her.
She hesitated to take out a thick blanket, putting the blanket on the man's body.
Will the mermaid feel cold? She didn't know, because the mermaid lived in the water. The water might not make his body feel cold, but the cold wind might make him feel uncomfortable.
When she left, the man's eyelashes trembled. Although his body was unconscious, his divine sense still had consciousness, and he could perceive everything that happened around him.
Since the beginning, when she started to rescue him and took care of him, he has seen and felt everything.
Can humans be so gentle with other creatures? Are there really kind humans out there? Why didn't he know?
In the past, he only saw the despicable humans who caught the merpeople to sell and forced them to be their slaves to vent their desires.
Will she be back? Will she keep her promise?
This is the first time that he has seen her. This is the first time that he felt humans' gentleness and kindness.
Somehow, he didn't want to lose this warmth.
He was so tired that his divine sense started to lose consciousness. Everything was dark, and he could no longer perceive anything.
...…..
Xiu Wanxue went back to the old place where Yi Yanlin and Yang Meili told her to wait. She wrote something on the talisman as she stuck the talisman on the tree.
As long as they are back, they will be able to see her message.
What she wrote was:
I have something urgent to return to the sect first. I apologize for not waiting for the senior brother's and the senior sister's return. Please accept my apology and my gratitude for helping me out. Until later…
Then she left and returned to the small forest behind the cave where she had saved the man.
She didn't want to hide from Yi Yanlin and Yang Meili for concealing the fact that she saved a mermaid.
To protect his safety, she will not tell anyone about his existence.
When she returned, she saw that he was sleeping soundly. The spirit water vine finally saw that she had returned; it was happy and also fell asleep next to the man.
Before it went to sleep, it wrapped itself around her wrist, fearing that when it woke up, she would be gone.
Xiu Wanxue sat down on the grass. She fell into the silence. She just wanted to come back and make sure that he was doing fine and that he would be okay.
When his condition gets better, she will leave.
Two days later, she has to return and meet her master, Zhang Qingsheng. She asked her to go see him. She didn't want to, but she had to. He seemed to have something important to say to her.
She slowly closed her eyes and meditated. She began to practice and absorb the spiritual elements from heaven and earth.
When she sank into the practice, she felt dumbfounded. Her strength…!!
Is she dreaming right now? How could she change from a Qi Condensation rookie to a Foundation Establishment rookie?
Level 9 of Foundation Establishment...
She opened her eyes and pinched her skin.
"It's hurt, so this isn't a dream." She scratched her head in confusion.
Did she miss something?
She hurriedly checked her body. After she made sure that her body was healthy and nothing was wrong, she was relieved.
So, she concentrated herself again to practice and solidify her strength. Doing this alone won't make her foundation solid unless she engages in the real battles.
She didn't forget to use the method that she learned to conceal her real strength. She cannot let anyone know that she has advanced.
Two days later, the man woke up. He saw that she was closing her eyes peacefully in a meditation posture.
Her long and snowy white hair swayed, and a few strands of white hair fell on her face.
The girl's face seemed to grow prettier after she was promoted to a new level.
He sensed her clean and pure breath with no desire.
The man was stunned. How can a human have no desire?
One of his special abilities is to sense humans's souls and hearts. That's why he could see through her soul and heart.
He was more curious about her. Was she even real? If she were a real person, there is no way that she has no desire other than the desire to become strong.
"Who are you?" He muttered as he crawled near her. Before his silver tail changed into a pair of slender, long legs, He was naked, so he took out a thin silver robe from his space to wear.
