"Uh …"
Under Xing Jue's fierce rebuttal, the mysterious woman seemed to have recalled the battle with the Ultimate Experimental Beast and how she self-destructed her artifact.
When she felt her body at the moment, she indeed found that the pill's power was evaporating in her body. But even so, the woman still kept her guard up against Xing Jue.
"Isn't it just a pill? I'll return it to you. "
The woman snorted coldly and then looked at her wrist. She wanted to take out a pill from her storage bracelet and return it to Xing Jue.
However, when her gaze locked onto her empty wrist, her arrogant face instantly froze. She was shocked to discover that her storage bracelet had disappeared.
"Give me back my storage bracelet!!!"
When she realized this, the woman angrily looked at Xing Jue. At this moment, she didn't even think twice before she felt that Xing Jue was the person who took her storage bracelet.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! "
"If you continue to slander me like this, I will seriously doubt your intelligence."
Seeing that the woman actually blamed him for the loss of her storage bracelet, Xing Jue was stunned at first, then he hurriedly retorted.
After hearing Xing Jue's words, the woman slowly lowered her head. At this moment, she also felt that Xing Jue's words were very reasonable. If Xing Jue was really the one who took away her storage bracelet, then she would definitely be able to do so. She was afraid that she would have already died in Xing Jue's hands, let alone Xing Jue saving her.
As for the storage bracelet, it was not difficult to determine its whereabouts. It was very likely that it was destroyed by the powerful force when she self-destructed her artifact. After all, her storage bracelet was not a high-grade item.
"Tsk ~"
Even though she knew that she had wronged Xing Jue, not only did she not apologize, but she did not even thank her. Instead, she supported her swaying body with trembling hands and rolled her eyes at Xing Jue before she walked toward the Forest of Death's periphery.
"You …"
Seeing that the lady was about to leave, Xing Jue suddenly wanted to stop her because she might not be able to walk out of the Forest of Death in her current state. However, when he recalled how unreasonable and hateful the lady was, Xing Jue swallowed his words. Then, he allowed it to disappear from his sight.
"Fortunately, she doesn't know that I lured the ultimate experimental beast to her side."
"Otherwise, I would definitely be in big trouble." After the woman disappeared, Xing Jue said with some relief.
"Sigh, forget it. No matter what, I saved her life."
"I wanted to help her, but she didn't appreciate it."
"In this way, we don't owe each other anything." After complaining to himself, Xing Jue turned around and began to dash toward the depths of the Mountain of Death at an extremely fast speed. He was ready to continue hunting demonic beasts.
"Ta"
However, after walking for a short distance, Xing Jue suddenly stopped moving forward. This was because at this moment, Xing Jue felt that a demonic beast was running toward the direction of the lady.
At this moment, Xing Jue hesitated. He did not know if he should continue helping the lady because Xing Jue could not stand her character. She was a typical person who did not know how to be grateful.
"Sigh, forget it."
"It's better to be a good person until the end."
"Who asked me to be kind?"
After pondering for a moment, Xing Jue muttered to himself. Then, he turned around and dashed toward the direction of the lady.
At this moment, in the periphery of the Forest of Death, the lady was dragging her shaky body forward slowly.
"Rumble, rumble"
However, at this moment, a series of rumbling sounds suddenly rang out from her left. Along with the rumbling sounds, the ground beneath her feet also trembled. After noticing the change, the lady furrowed her brows. Then, she cast her panicked gaze toward the forest where the bushes were swaying.
"Roar"
All of a sudden, a well-built King Rank High Rank Demonic Beast dashed out from the bushes. After it dashed out, it even stirred up a large amount of dust on the ground.
At this moment, it was staring at the lady with its bloodshot eyes. A large amount of milky white and slightly sticky saliva continuously dripped from its bloody mouth. It seemed a little disgusting.
"A mere King Rank Demonic Beast dares to stop me?"
After sensing the strength of the demonic beast, the lady snorted coldly. Then, she clenched her fist and began gathering energy, preparing to attack the demonic beast.
"Ahh!!"
However, not only did she fail to gather energy after using her Battle Qi, but she also spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, she powerlessly sat on the ground.
"Damn it. Has my body become so weak?"
At this moment, the woman noticed to her astonishment exactly how weak her body was. Not to mention a King Rank Magical Beast, even a Martial God would be able to easily subdue her.
"Roar"
However, at this moment, the Magical Beast had already widened its bloody mouth as it rushed towards the lady. If she was struck by this attack, she would be able to be swallowed alive into its stomach with a single bite.
"Damn it!!!"
Looking at the bloody mouth that was filled with a foul smell approaching her, the lady's face was filled with unwillingness. She wanted to climb up with all her might, but she was powerless.
At this moment, she seemed to regret. She regretted being so suspicious and being so cautious. She regretted not asking Xing Jue for help. However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. She knew that the odds were against her.
"Swoosh"
However, just when the lady was in despair, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her like a phantom. He clenched his fist and threw it towards the Magical Beast. Boundless Battle Qi, along with the power that could tear space apart, surged out.
Rumble! Rumble!
In an instant, an incomparably powerful energy ripple suddenly rose. The violent ripple blew past the lady at an extremely fast speed, causing her long skirt to flutter. However, under the resistance of the figure in front of her, she did not suffer any injuries.
At this moment, the woman was resisting the intense heat emitted by the energy ripples in front of her. Looking at the back of the man who was blocking her, she realized that the person who had saved her was the person she had wrongly accused earlier.
"Hey!!"
After killing the demonic beast with a strike, Xing Jue turned his head and asked indifferently, "Are you alright?"
"Yes."
Upon seeing this, the lady did not say anything else. Instead, she lightly nodded her head and lowered her head without saying anything else. It was unknown if she was ashamed of offending Xing Jue earlier or if she was born with such a proud and aloof character.
"Here, take this Healing Pill. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk out of the Forest of Death." At this moment, Xing Jue took out another pill and handed it to the lady.
"This …"
When the lady saw the pill that Xing Jue handed to her, she was stunned and a trace of surprise could be seen on her face. This was because she could recognize that the pill that Xing Jue gave her was actually an Upper Earth-class Pill. An Upper Earth-class Pill was a priceless item. Yet, Xing Jue actually gave it to her so generously. This made her even more ashamed of herself.
At this moment, she was silent. She did not take the pill from Xing Jue's hand. Instead, she lowered her head and clenched her fists even tighter.
"Take it, it's not poison."
Looking at the lady, Xing Jue seemed to have sensed something. At this moment, he even felt that the lady was not as bad as he imagined. She was just too vigilant.
Seeing that Xing Jue actually urged her, the lady's body trembled. Then, she slowly extended her fair hand and took the pill from Xing Jue. Then, she said softly, "Thank you!"
"Ah, you're being too polite, aren't you?"
"Although I don't know why you're so vigilant."
"But not everyone is as bad as you think."
"I only wanted to explore the Forest of Death today and happened to see that there was something strange in that area. I saw a lady like you trapped in the layer of ice and that you were breathing, so I conveniently saved you. After all, it's not my style to leave someone in the lurch. "
"But then again, this is also fate. Why don't we be friends?"
"I'm Xing Jue. What about you?"
Seeing that the lady really had something to talk about, Xing Jue sat down and looked at the lady with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I was thinking too much!"
"I'm Nalan Xiaoxiao. Nice to meet you."
At this moment, the lady did not doubt whether he was telling the truth at all. Instead, she believed him completely. That was because apart from that, she could not figure out why Xing Jue would appear here and save her. At least at this moment, she did not think that Xing Jue was a bad person. On the contrary, she felt that he was an extremely warm-hearted person.
"Nalan Xiaoxiao?"
"Good name. By the way, which force are you from?"
"Why would they let a single lady like you come to this place?"
"Also, were you the one who created the Ice Domain? How did you manage to cause such great damage? "
Xing Jue pretended to be ignorant and asked. In fact, he wanted to erase Nalan Xiaoxiao's wariness and understand her background. She was already an Intermediate Combat Emperor at such a young age. She was even stronger than Yu Shi Man's sister, the number one genius of the union, Yu Ting. Therefore, Xing Jue guessed that this lady's background was definitely not simple.
"I'm the fourth lady of Snow Listening City."
"My purpose of coming here is similar to yours. As for the Ice Domain, it was indeed caused by me."
"However, it was caused by the explosion of my Snow Listening City's City Treasure." Nalan Xiaoxiao answered without the slightest grudge when she heard Xing Jue's question.
What shocked Xing Jue was that she was actually from Snow Listening City. Snow Listening City was a very mysterious place to Xing Jue. However, what surprised Xing Jue the most was that Nalan Xiaoxiao actually told him everything without hiding anything. It seemed like his magnificent feat just now had won her trust, and it was very thorough.
