"I won't let you die! Absolutely not! "
The Moon Maiden pressed her jade-like hand on Ling Xiao's back. The black gas began to be drawn out of Ling Xiao's body and into the Moon Maiden's body.
…
In a daze, Ling Xiao felt as if he was soaking in a warm medicinal liquid. His body felt very comfortable.
He remembered that he encountered a level nine vicious beast when he was picking herbs. Moreover, that fellow was a demon general under the Evil Beast Demon King.
In the end, he was viciously clawed during the battle.
He felt that he had the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, so there shouldn't be a problem. He was afraid that the Moon Maiden would be worried about this, so he simply changed his clothes.
However, who knew that the evil aura in the claw couldn't be expelled even by the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body. He could only rely on his Mountain River Martial Soul to absorb it.
He didn't even have time to heal himself before he fainted.
He opened his eyes and took a look.
He was indeed soaking in a bathtub. His clothes had been taken off, and there was new water in the bathtub. Moreover, he was soaked in some special medicinal liquid.
"No way, Moon Maiden. Did you do all this?"
Ling Xiao asked in surprise, "You know how to do this?"
"Nonsense. Back when I was fighting with the Moonlight Goddess, I did many similar things. It's only in the recent tens of thousands of years that I basically abandoned it. I feel that my skills have regressed a little."
As she spoke, the Moon Maiden's pretty face actually blushed a little.
She was obviously shy.
"Moonlight Goddess! Isn't that the founder of the Yuehua School? Sister, don't tell me you've lived for more than a hundred thousand years? "
Ling Xiao looked at the Moon Maiden in surprise and asked.
"Why? Do you think I'm old? Although it's more than a hundred thousand years, I actually slept for nearly ninety thousand years. Sigh, I don't know where the Goddess went. "
The Moon Maiden sighed and said.
"Ahem, let's not talk about sad things. You didn't have time to soak in the medicinal liquid, right? I'm fine now. Your recovery is the key."
Ling Xiao could tell that the Moon Maiden wasn't in a good mood at the mention of the Moonlight Fairy, so he changed the topic.
"I've already soaked in it. Don't tell me you don't know that you've been unconscious for a day and a night?"
The Moon Maiden smiled bitterly.
"No way!"
Ling Xiao thought that he had only been unconscious for a short while.
"Oh my god, doesn't that mean you just soaked in this bathtub? No wonder it smells so good! "
"Stinking brat, what nonsense are you thinking? Do you believe that I won't tear your mouth apart?"
The Moon Maiden snapped.
However, what was interesting was that after Ling Xiao's antics, her mood seemed to have improved a lot.
"By the way, Moon Maiden, I've almost recovered from my injuries. Since you've removed the shackles, you should be looking for the Evil Beast Demon King, right?"
Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
"Yes."
The Moon Maiden nodded and said, "This is part of the plan."
"But in my opinion, since the Evil Beast Demon King knows about formations, he must have set up a formation where he's hiding to recuperate. I'm afraid you can't do it alone, right?"
Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
"You want to go with me?"
The Moon Maiden asked.
"That's right. Although I can't help you much in battle, you're not as good as me in deciphering formations. Moreover, I also want to get some Earth Spirit Origin Stones."
Ling Xiao said straightforwardly, "The pagoda ascension ceremony is about to begin. I have to hurry. Otherwise, I won't be able to get first place. If you don't accept me as your disciple, wouldn't that be terrible?"
"You can go, but you have to listen to my arrangements."
The Moon Maiden said after pondering for a moment.
"No problem."
Ling Xiao replied straightforwardly because he knew that the Moon Maiden wouldn't harm him.
This woman wasn't the kind of person who would harm others. In some aspects, this woman was too naive.
To put it bluntly, if Ling Xiao really wanted to deceive her, he could definitely fool her.
"That's good. Keep this with you. It can block three fatal attacks for you. If you encounter any danger, try to escape. Don't force it."
The Moon Maiden put a pendant around Ling Xiao's neck.
The pendant had a silver chain on top and a crescent-shaped gem at the bottom. Ling Xiao didn't know what it was exactly.
However, he felt that it should be some kind of defensive artifact. Moreover, its level wasn't low. After all, it was given by the Moon Maiden. It definitely wouldn't be bad.
"Then I'll accept it!"
Ling Xiao was also afraid of death.
Since he wanted to be foolproof, this was a must. Therefore, he didn't have to be polite.
"Alright, hurry up and recuperate. When you're fully recovered, we'll set off. I need to rest too."
The Moon Maiden smiled and sat not far away from Ling Xiao's bathtub.
Ling Xiao looked at the Moon Maiden. He really wanted to tell her his real purpose, but he was afraid that the Moon Maiden would object.
After thinking about it, he decided not to.
He closed his eyes and felt the energy from the medicinal liquid. Together with the self-healing ability of the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, he began to speed up his recovery.
After a long time, Ling Xiao opened his eyes. However, he realized that the Moon Maiden was gone. Beside the bathtub, his clothes were neatly folded.
He put on the clothes and saw a note on the bedding. There was a paragraph written on it.
"Ling Xiao, thank you for taking care of me all this time. However, the more you do this, the more I can't let you take the risk with me. I'll get the Earth Spirit Origin Stone back for you. After you wake up, leave the Forest of a Thousand Ghosts as soon as possible — Moon Maiden."
There was even a cute smiley face under the name.
"This woman!"
Ling Xiao couldn't help but shake his head and laugh bitterly.
"Master, I'm sorry. Your disciple is going to go crazy this time because I seem to have fallen in love with that woman."
His feelings were different from Ling Yixue, Dai Yuling, and Cold Plum.
Ling Xiao felt that he had fallen in love this time.
"Even if I die, I have to protect her!"
The Yuan Venerate didn't say anything. He was probably really asleep this time.
Ling Xiao leaped out of the cave.
The battle had already begun.
However, it didn't seem like a battle between the Moon Maiden and the Evil Beast Demon King. Instead, it seemed like the Evil Beast Demon King's subordinates were protecting him.
That fellow probably hadn't fully recovered yet, so it wasn't suitable for him to fight now.
Ling Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when he thought of this.
As long as the Evil Beast Demon King didn't make a move, the Moon Maiden wouldn't be in any danger.
What he had to do now was to take advantage of this battle to sneak into the Evil Beast Demon King's hiding place and do something big!
Although he knew that his cultivation base was worlds apart from the Moon Maiden's, he should protect her wholeheartedly since he liked her.
Even if his opponent was a powerhouse like the Evil Beast Demon King.
Of course, he wasn't a rash person. He had only decided to do this after carefully analyzing the situation.
The Evil Beast Demon King's injuries were probably more serious than he had imagined. After all, that fellow didn't have a suitable body and had only used his soul to endure the damage.
