On Xiao Chen's side, Hong Zhu gripped the hilt of his flying sword in one hand and carried the unconscious Xiao Chen in the other. In order to escape from the Burning Sky Faction, he was like a headless fly that was randomly bumping around, until he finally ran into an unknown mountain forest.
Sensing that Xiao Chen's breathing was gradually weakening, Hong Zhu could not help but panic. Lowering his head, he searched around, and finally found a suitable cave. He immediately ordered the flying sword to stop, and landed outside the cave.
Hong Zhu first had the flying sword explore the cave, and after not finding anything out of the ordinary, he supported Xiao Chen into the cave. After finding a relatively large and flat rock, he carefully placed Xiao Chen on top of it, then hurriedly took out the medicinal pills he had brought with him and stuffed them into his mouth.
These medicinal pills had been specially brought over by Hong Zhu from the martial arts world, and were basically refined from rare medicinal herbs that the Hong Family had accumulated over a hundred years. Moreover, the majority of them had very good healing effects, and even if one was able to eat one of them, there would still be hope for a full recovery.
At this moment, Hong Zhu was already panicking, and no matter what kind of medicinal pills he took, he stuffed them all into Xiao Chen's mouth.
Although these healing pills melted in Xiao Chen's mouth the moment they entered his mouth, and all of them were successfully ingested, the healing effects were not very obvious. The only thing that could be seen was that Xiao Chen's complexion had become slightly rosier, but his entire body was still completely motionless. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that his life was still quietly and swiftly slipping away.
Hong Zhu anxiously stood by the side for a while, and fed all the medicinal pills he could use to Xiao Chen, but there was still no improvement. At this moment, Hong Zhu finally realized that just relying on medicinal pills would not be able to solve Xiao Chen's problem!
The anxious Hong Zhu could not help but stand up, and anxiously paced back and forth in the cave, racking his brain to think of a way to save Xiao Chen.
After pondering for a long time, Hong Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly returned to Xiao Chen's side and helped him into a cross-legged sitting position against the stone wall.
Glancing around the empty cave, Hong Zhu clenched his teeth, quickly and neatly took off his clothes and placed them aside. After that, he sat down cross-legged and placed his palms against Xiao Chen's, intending to enter a dual cultivation state with him.
Just now, Hong Zhu suddenly recalled that he had once heard Xiao Chen mention that a cultivator's Origin Qi could aid in healing injuries. Although he did not know exactly how to do it, Xiao Chen was currently unconscious. No matter how Hong Zhu thought about it, it seemed like the only way to transfer his Origin Qi to Xiao Chen's body was to rely on the method of dual cultivation.
In Hong Zhu's mind, after he transmitted his own Origin Qi over, he would then attempt to guide it. Perhaps he would be able to use it to heal Xiao Chen's injuries!
Just as Hong Zhu was calming her mind and circulating her mental cultivation method, and then, through her palms, began to transfer her yuan qi into Xiao Chen's body, she suddenly felt a powerful energy suddenly appear, completely sucking away all of her yuan qi!
Before Hong Zhu could react, her yuan qi reappeared and was swiftly reflected back at her from Xiao Chen's palms!
Caught off guard, Hong Zhu was directly struck by the yuan qi she had sent out, and her entire body was sent flying!
"Pfff — —"
Hong Zhu's back was fiercely smashed against the stone wall, and she could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The powerful impact had shaken her entire body to the point of dizziness, causing her to see stars, and her Qi and blood to churn.
If Hong Zhu had not been clenching her teeth and using her tenacious willpower to support herself, she might have fainted long ago.
"How … how could this be?" Hong Zhu sat on the ground in a daze for a long time, repeatedly muttering to herself, her body like an autumn leaf in the wind, trembling incessantly.
She climbed to her feet with great difficulty, and when she saw Xiao Chen quietly lying on the ground, not moving at all, Hong Zhu's eyes instantly turned red, and two streams of tears of grievance slid down her cheeks.
After taking a few steps forward, Hong Zhu threw herself onto Xiao Chen's body, her heart filled with sorrow as she sobbed, "Xiao Chen, just what do I have to do to wake you up? How can I restore you to your original state? I've already used every method within my power, but why can't I succeed? Aren't you usually very powerful? Can't you wake up and teach me? Say something! "
Gently stroking Xiao Chen's cheeks with trembling hands, Hong Zhu could clearly feel that the latter's life was gradually fading away. She could not help but feel great sorrow in her heart, the emotions that she had been suppressing at the bottom of her heart finally erupted, and she tightly hugged Xiao Chen's lifeless body.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, can you hear me calling you?" Pressing her face against Xiao Chen's palm, Hong Zhu softly whispered, "Why are you always so cold to me? Do you hate me a lot? Can you answer me seriously for once? "
"Do you know how much pressure I've been enduring to silently like you? I've been a rebellious child since I was a child, and I can even ignore the advice of my family. It may seem like I'm free and unbridled, but can you understand the pain of being despised by your closest kin? "
"You must be able to understand. Weren't you also chased out of the house by your family? From this, it can be seen that we are in the same boat. No wonder when I first saw you, I felt a sense of kinship … "
"Xiao Chen, you little scoundrel. You've always been hot and cold to Big Sister, but now you've finally behaved yourself, haven't you? You can only lie flat on the ground and let Big Sister tease you, but why do I wish that you can bully me again? Even if it's just to hide a little further away … "
Lifting his face from Xiao Chen's hand, Hong Zhu's face was already streaked with tears. It was already late at night, and the silvery white moonlight spilled over the cave entrance, illuminating the dark green vines and branches. It looked very tranquil and peaceful, but the atmosphere in the cave was very solemn and sorrowful.
Staring at Xiao Chen's pale cheeks, Hong Zhu could not help but feel a wave of sorrow in her heart. Could it be that he really could not escape this calamity? Could it be that she really had to watch him stop breathing and leave her behind?
Gritting her teeth, Hong Zhu put on some clothes, picked up Xiao Chen, and walked out of the cave. Leaning against a rock, she rested her head on Xiao Chen's chest, her eyes gazing at the twinkling stars in the sky.
"Xiao Chen, look at that brightest star, it seems to be the Big Dipper! Many people like to rely on it to guide them, and in fact, you are very much like my Big Dipper. As long as I can follow you, I will definitely not go wrong. "
"Xiao Chen, this is the first time that Big Sister has accompanied you to watch the stars, and it might also be the last time we do so. In the past, I really wanted to find a chance to have a romantic moment with you, and now, my wish has finally come true. It's just that … I never thought that it would be under such terrible circumstances, hehe …" Reaching out to stroke her hair, Hong Zhu bitterly smiled and shook her head, her voice somewhat choked with emotion.
