The swallowtail swayed gently in the night wind, like a swallow that could fly away at any moment.
Ye Xingsha had never liked swallowtail flowers. She felt that their fragrance was too gaudy and vulgar, just like those women who liked to sell their bodies.
However, at this moment, she suddenly felt that the swallowtail flower's fragrance was so enchanting and full of life. Especially since her blood was still flowing, she could only rely on the swallowtail flower's fragrance to cover up the smell of blood.
Although the strong star power would quickly decompose the blood, the star beast's nose was too sensitive.
Due to her high-level bloodline, Ye Xingsha could sense the presence of life nearby. She was not willing to die like this. After some hesitation, she mustered her remaining strength to call out.
Ye Xingsha knew that although she used all her strength, her voice was hoarse and could not travel very far. Also, the sound might attract the star beast first. But if she delayed any longer, she would not live much longer. She could only try her luck.
After shouting for a while, Ye Xingsha's throat was hoarse, but there was no movement. She could not help but feel despair. Was the eldest daughter of the Ye Xing Family going to die in this wilderness without anyone to send her off?!
Ye Xingsha could not help but cry when she thought of this.
"You don't know how to stop the bleeding, but you still have the strength to cry. What a weirdo …" Gao Zhengyang watched from the side and felt that this woman was not in the right mind. If not for her beauty, he would have pretended he did not see it.
That's right, at Gao Zhengyang's level, he liked to judge people based on their looks.
If this woman could make him feel that she was beautiful, then she was truly beautiful.
Her bright blue hair was like the finest silk, and her eyes were like stars, deep blue and bright. Her skin was white and tender, as if it would break at any touch.
However, this woman looked a little wretched. There were many cracks on her silver armor, especially on her abdomen. There was a foot-long wound that slashed diagonally across her abdomen. The torn flesh looked very hideous.
Fortunately, her blood was light blue and sparkling like some kind of beautiful paint. Also, the blood would quickly decompose in the air and dissipate into specks of starlight.
If one did not consider the woman's state, this scene was very beautiful.
Ye Xingsha was startled by Gao Zhengyang. Her delicate round face visibly twitched, revealing a look of shock.
However, a beautiful person would look good no matter what expression they made. Ye Xingsha's terrified expression was pleasing to the eye. It wasn't as terrifying as most women.
Ye Xingsha also saw Gao Zhengyang. Although Gao Zhengyang's Undying Dragon Emperor Body was restricted, it couldn't be concealed.
The ultimate power was perfectly arranged in the human form, fully displaying the power and beauty of the human body.
With just one look, Ye Xingsha could tell that the other party was an expert. However, that blood-colored robe made him look a little mysterious.
He did not have any Star Equipment, nor did he have any clan emblems. His accent was also very strange. She carefully looked at him from top to bottom, but still couldn't recognize him.
"Who are you?" Ye Xingsha asked nervously. Not being able to see through Gao Zhengyang's background made her a little uneasy.
"What's your name?" Gao Zhengyang asked.
"My name is Ye Xingsha." After hesitating for a moment, Ye Xingsha decided to reveal her real name. Then she asked, "Where is this? What's your name?"
"I feel that the most important thing right now is to treat your injury," Gao Zhengyang said.
Ye Xingsha looked at her wound, then hurriedly looked away. She sighed and said, "This is a wound caused by the Death Star Sword. It can't be healed without Light or Blue Spirit Star Power."
"I can help you take a look."
As Gao Zhengyang spoke, he squatted down and extended a finger to touch Ye Xingsha's wound. Although he didn't use any force, the touch still made Ye Xingsha cry in pain. Sweat also appeared on her forehead.
But Ye Xingsha clenched her teeth and didn't make a sound.
Gao Zhengyang examined her and said, "I can help you treat it, but it will be very painful. Bear with it."
As Gao Zhengyang spoke, he looked around and picked up a withered tree branch. He rubbed the rotten bark off and handed it to Ye Xingsha.
"Huh?" Ye Xingsha was confused. She didn't know what Gao Zhengyang meant.
"Bite it. Don't bite your tongue," Gao Zhengyang explained kindly.
Ye Xingsha came from a noble family. She had never encountered such a thing. She looked at the blackened branch with a hesitant expression.
"Pain is a very powerful force. It will make you lose control. Your endurance is also not good. Bite it. "
Gao Zhengyang said, "It would be a pity to break your beautiful white teeth."
Ye Xingsha heard Gao Zhengyang's words and hesitated. She took the branch and rubbed it a few times before putting it in her mouth with a bitter expression.
"Get ready. I'm going to do it," Gao Zhengyang said.
Ye Xingsha was about to nod when Gao Zhengyang's finger had already reached down. Like a knife, he slashed across Ye Xingsha's wound.
This was too painful. Ye Xingsha screamed in pain and almost fainted. The unbearable pain made her struggle instinctively.
Gao Zhengyang pressed his other hand against Ye Xingsha's chest, pressing her down. No matter how much Ye Xingsha struggled, she couldn't move.
The excruciating pain made Ye Xingsha wish she could just die immediately. She wanted to stop, but she couldn't move under Gao Zhengyang's pressure. The branch was still in her mouth, so she couldn't speak. All she could do was scream.
Her skin and flesh were torn apart. Even her organs seemed to have been cut open. The pain came in waves. Ye Xingsha wanted to faint, but for some reason, her consciousness was becoming clearer.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Xingsha was already numb. She didn't even have the strength to scream. She could only lie there like a dead fish, letting Gao Zhengyang do whatever he wanted.
"Done." Gao Zhengyang let go of Ye Xingsha's hand and said to her, "You have medicine, right? Apply some."
Ye Xingsha really didn't want to move, but her life was at stake. She mustered the last bit of her strength and took out some medicine from her bracelet for external injuries. She handed it to Gao Zhengyang and begged him to apply the medicine.
Gao Zhengyang helped her to the end. He cleaned Ye Xingsha's wound, applied the medicine again, and used a special bandage to stick the wound together.
Yes, it was like a piece of cloth, but very sticky. He smoothed out the wound, then stuck it on, and it was done. Functionally, it was like a large band-aid.
However, this cloth was much better than a band-aid. The imbued astral power could not only disinfect the wound, but it could also release astral power to speed up the healing of the wound.
After she was done, Ye Xingsha took out her medicine and ate two of them.
This kind of Glorious Star Pill could nourish the blood and increase astral power. Usually, as long as a person wasn't dead, one pill could bring them back to life.
However, her wound was from the Death Star Sword. The death aura of the Death Star was very corrosive to the body. The more nourishing the medicine, the more it would stimulate the death aura of the Death Star. Therefore, Ye Xingsha didn't dare to take the medicine until the death aura was completely removed.
After everything was done, Ye Xingsha wanted to chat with Gao Zhengyang to thank him for saving her life. However, when the astral power in her body surged, she fell asleep unknowingly.
Looking at the unconscious Ye Xingsha, Gao Zhengyang chuckled. He rubbed his hands and said happily, "Let's do it while it's hot."
Ye Xingsha, who was completely unconscious, obviously couldn't hear what Gao Zhengyang said. Naturally, he did not have any reaction, nor did he have any ability to resist.
Gao Zhengyang didn't stand on ceremony. He reached out to take off Ye Xingsha's armor.
The awkward thing was, although the armor had all sorts of buckles, it was a single piece. There was no way to disassemble it from the outside. Unless it was disassembled by force.
"Interesting …"
Gao Zhengyang wasn't unfamiliar with this kind of structure. Usually, Divine Artifacts were like this.
Just like the Dragon Emperor Armor, the entire armor had 13 parts. When it was worn, it only needed to be activated by divine sense, and it would naturally form a whole.
In terms of structure, it naturally didn't need to be like ordinary armor, which needed to be pieced together. To outsiders, the Dragon Emperor Armor was a single piece. It could only be destroyed by force, but not disassembled.
Ye Xingsha's armor was clearly far inferior to the Dragon Emperor Armor. In terms of grade, it was at least Level Seven. However, the armor here was clearly very special. Although it wasn't of a high grade, it formed its own body and was completely under the control of its owner.
Although Gao Zhengyang felt a little regretful, he didn't really want to do such a thing. It didn't matter if he took off the armor or not.
He fiddled with the armor for a while. Then, he reached in and tried to use his fingers to touch Ye Xingsha's body.
Even the Level Twelve Dragon Emperor Immortal God Body was restricted. Naturally, he couldn't use his other Divine Abilities. However, the instincts of a Level Twelve Divine King were almost completely clear. They wouldn't be affected much.
Through his research on Ye Xingsha's body, Gao Zhengyang quickly figured out the nature of her life.
Simply put, she was a human. She had flesh and blood, organs, bones, and even a soul. However, what was different from humans in other worlds was that Ye Xingsha's entire body, including her soul, was filled with stellar power.
In Ye Xingsha's sea of consciousness, there was a strange star shining. Obviously, this was Ye Xingsha's main star.
Gao Zhengyang also understood why the star beasts that were killed would dissipate into starlight. This wasn't an intentional change by the star beasts, but a result of the corrosion of the dense stellar power.
When the star beasts were alive, their consciousness and soul controlled their powerful bodies. When they died, their consciousness and soul would merge with the main star in their sea of consciousness, forming a star core.
Therefore, the star core recorded the star beasts' origins, their innate special star power secret techniques, and a portion of the star power source.
Most of the star power in the star beasts' bodies, without their consciousness, naturally resonated with the dense stellar power. Then, their bodies turned into stellar power, and their souls were completely destroyed.
Ye Xingsha was the same. The blood that flowed out of her body would quickly evaporate and dissipate into stellar power.
All of this was caused by the Star Demon Realm's powerful stellar laws.
Gao Zhengyang was a little curious. According to this law, it was very difficult for the people here to eat meat. However, there had to be some special method to preserve the flesh.
Because Ye Xingsha's organs were complete, she had to eat. Otherwise, there would be no reason for this set of organs to exist.
According to this set of laws, if he killed Ye Xingsha now, he could obtain her soul crystal and her stellar power secret technique.
However, Ye Xingsha was at most rank seven. Even if the stellar power secret technique she cultivated was of a high rank, it would be useless to Gao Zhengyang. Instead, she looked pampered and spoiled, and her actions carried a bossy aura.
She must have come from an extraordinary background. Such a woman would be more valuable alive than dead.
Gao Zhengyang lacked understanding of the Star Demon Realm, and he lacked an opportunity to blend in. This Ye Xingsha before him was obviously a good opportunity.
Born noble, beautiful, fleeing in the night, heavily injured, and meeting an expert. Wasn't this a classic story?!
Gao Zhengyang was quite satisfied with this point of entry. He even felt that this was all part of the Lotus Thearch's plan.
Although the Lotus Thearch could not directly interfere with the Star Demon Realm, he could choose a good time and place to naturally push his plan forward.
Gao Zhengyang had nothing to do, so he circled the area. He did not find any high-level astral beasts. Clearly, astral beasts were territorial.
Although the Dark Shadow Tiger was not very powerful, it still occupied a large territory.
However, Gao Zhengyang still found a few fruits. They looked a bit like apples, but much bigger. There were light blue star patterns on the skin, and they looked quite nice.
Gao Zhengyang had never seen such fruits before, but his intuition as a rank twelve Godly King told him that they were edible and delicious.
He cut one open, and the juice flowed out like honey. The sweet fruit fragrance spread.
Gao Zhengyang took a bite. As expected, it was crisp and sweet, and it was filled with rich and gentle astral power. After eating one, he actually felt full.
At least, with his current level of astral power. The astral power contained in this big apple was too thick. It was enough for him to digest for two days.
"Ah …"
With a low moan, Ye Xingsha also opened her eyes. Then, she saw the big apple in Gao Zhengyang's hand.
"Nine-star Patterned Fruit. That's good stuff!" Ye Xingsha said in surprise.
"Try it." Gao Zhengyang gave Ye Xingsha one.
Ye Xingsha hesitated for a while, then took out a small knife and cut the fruit into a dozen pieces. She ate them slowly.
"What's a Star Patterned Fruit?" Gao Zhengyang asked.
Ye Xingsha looked at Gao Zhengyang strangely. Star Patterned Fruits were common, but seven-star ones and above were rare. It was strange that Gao Zhengyang did not know about Star Patterned Fruits.
However, she was smart enough not to ask. Instead, she explained patiently, "Star Patterned Fruits are the most common fruits. The more star patterns on the fruit, the higher the astral power. Star Patterned Fruits with seven-star and above are very difficult to grow. Usually, they can only be found deep in the mountains. "
"Oh."
Gao Zhengyang sat down next to Ye Xingsha and gave her a few nine-star fruits. "Take them."
Ye Xingsha was not used to giving gifts like this. She instinctively refused. "Thank you. One nine-star fruit is enough for me."
"I'm not giving them all to you. I'm putting them with you for now." Gao Zhengyang looked at Ye Xingsha's beautiful bracelet as he spoke.
Ye Xingsha's round face blushed. She hurriedly put the fruit into the bracelet.
Gao Zhengyang asked again, "Is this your Star Armament?"
"This Star Sand Bracelet?"
Ye Xingsha raised her left hand and gestured at Gao Zhengyang before saying, "It's passed down from my ancestors. If you like it, I'll give it to you. Take it as a thank you gift. "
"It's passed down from your ancestors. There's no need."
Gao Zhengyang waved his hand. "What's going on with you? Do you want to tell me?"
Seeing Ye Xingsha's hesitation, Gao Zhengyang said, "I don't mean anything by it. I've been alone in the mountains for too long. I like to help others, especially you …"
Ye Xingsha suddenly understood. "I see. I was wondering why you didn't know such common sense."
She paused and said gratefully, "Thank you for being willing to help me. You're a good person! "
Gao Zhengyang suddenly laughed. "I'm not done yet. Especially since you're so pretty. You can be my wife. I'll definitely help you."
"Uh …"
Ye Xingsha was stunned. She instinctively pursed her lips, and her expression was solemn.
She had never thought that he would want to marry her. Furthermore, he had said it right in front of her. He had no intention of being shy.
Ye Xingsha was very grateful to Gao Zhengyang. However, Gao Zhengyang was only at the Star Power Level Seven, which was the same level as her. Most importantly, Gao Zhengyang didn't belong to any sect or family. He was a barbarian.
Although Gao Zhengyang didn't act like a barbarian and looked very handsome, Ye Xingsha didn't consider him at all. Therefore, when she heard Gao Zhengyang say that he wanted to marry her, she was shocked and angry.
A barbarian dared to say that he wanted to marry her!
She was the eldest daughter of the Ye Xing family, a genius who could inherit the position of the family leader in the future. Yet, she was humiliated just like that. Yes, Ye Xingsha felt that it was an insult.
Ye Xingsha took a deep breath and suppressed the anger and depression in her heart. She softened her voice and said to Gao Zhengyang, "My name is Ye Xingsha, the eldest daughter of the Ye Xing family. I'm already engaged. I'm sorry. "
Gao Zhengyang said nonchalantly, "If I didn't save you, you would've turned to dust. What's the use of an engagement … "
Ye Xingsha's round face turned ugly. She forced herself to explain, "Marriage is not a small matter. We just met. Even if we ignore the engagement, we can't be so casual."
"The story says that if a man saves a woman, the woman must repay him with her body and sleep with the man."
Gao Zhengyang looked into Ye Xingsha's eyes. "You're not a good person if you don't follow the story!"
Ye Xingsha was a little nervous under Gao Zhengyang's gaze. She said uncomfortably, "Stories are all lies. Don't take it seriously."
"Then I did save you."
Gao Zhengyang said calmly, "How about this. Give me your life, and you don't have to be my wife anymore. I'll give you that Star Rune Fruit for free. "
Ye Xingsha was about to cry. Being Gao Zhengyang's wife was naturally out of the question. But giving him his life was even more out of the question.
She felt that there was something wrong with Gao Zhengyang's brain. It was impossible to reason with someone like him. If she angered him, who knew what he would do?
Ye Xingsha hesitated and said, "You're right. But marriage is not a small matter. You have to report it to your parents, give them a betrothal gift, and go through the ceremony. That's the real deal. "
"Isn't marriage just a man and woman sleeping together? Is it so troublesome?" Gao Zhengyang's face was full of doubt.
Seeing that Gao Zhengyang was a little tempted, Ye Xingsha hurriedly said, "I can promise to be your wife first. But you have to wait until I get home, recover from my injuries, and make all sorts of preparations before I can be your wife. "
Gao Zhengyang thought about it and said, "Then it's settled. You're not allowed to lie."
"I promise I won't lie."
Ye Xingsha thought to herself that once she got home, she would send him away with a generous gift. Marriage was impossible no matter what. But to coax Gao Zhengyang, she still made a vow against her will.
