His master had once said that his soul was incomplete. It could be said that he only had half of a normal person's soul, so as he grew older, his body would become weaker. This was because that half of his soul was not enough to support his growing body.
Other than the fact that his body was getting weaker and weaker, there was another drawback. He would faint every once in a while, and after he fainted, he would not be able to use his spiritual energy for a period of time. He had to take the pills that his master had prepared for him to slowly recover his soul.
He cultivated for two cycles, but Sima Youyue still had not returned. He got up and walked out of the cave, only to find that it was already evening.
"Master, did she leave with the pills you gave her?" Wu Lingyu's other contracted beast said in the contract space.
Wu Lingyu also thought so, but after thinking about her clear eyes, he shook his head and said, "She wouldn't."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Youyue's figure appeared at the other end of the canyon. She did not expect Wu Lingyu to be at the entrance of the cave, and was stunned when she saw him.
Wu Lingyu saw that Sima Youyue's walking posture was a little off, and asked faintly, "Are you hurt?"
"It's just a small injury." Sima Youyue covered her left arm with her right hand, "Why are you outside?"
"I came out to check the time and see why you're not back yet." Wu Lingyu replied.
"Don't worry, a man's words carry enormous weight. Since I've taken your payment, I won't leave alone." Sima Youyue said as she walked around him and entered the cave.
"This girl is really sensitive." Wu Lingyu laughed.
Sima Youyue returned to the cave and laid on the bed. Although she had taken the pills, the wound on her arm still hurt, reminding her of what she had gone through today.
When she was fighting the Fire Lizard this morning, she relied on her agile body and combat experience as an assassin to win.
After killing the Fire Lizard, Ya Guang told her that normally, humans would collect the corpses of spirit beasts after killing them. This was because spirit beasts' bodies were relatively tough and could be sold. Moreover, spirit beasts' brains contained magic crystals. Magic crystals were important raw materials for refining pills and weapons, so they could be sold for a good price.
Thus, she called out Exquisite and had her transform into a dagger. She dissected the Fire Lizard on the spot, found the magic crystal in its brain, and separated its skin and flesh.
Although she had obtained the spoils of war, her body was also stained with blood.
By the time she was done, it was already noon. She made a simple lunch and ate it. Before she could finish eating, a leopard smelled blood and came looking for her.
This Golden Leopard was of the same rank as the Fire Lizard, but it was much more agile than the Fire Lizard. Its fighting ability was also much higher. Sima Youyue had used some of her spiritual power in the morning and had not recovered yet, so it was very difficult for her to win against the Golden Leopard. In the end, her arm was hit by the Golden Leopard and her body was knocked to the ground. However, that fellow still died in the end.
Fighting with spirit beasts twice in one day and even getting injured, this was the first time she realized how strong spirit beasts' fighting ability was.
However, although she won, her body was also very tired. Her arm was bleeding profusely. She took out some pills from her spatial ring and ate them. However, because she had given them to Wu Lingyu, she could not find any high grade pills. She could only take out a random bottle, so the effects were not very fast.
She got up and kept the Golden Leopard's corpse into her spirit pearl. She left the place where she fought and coincidentally, there was a river not far away. She washed the blood off her body and rested for a long time. When her wounds had healed, she called Ya Guang out.
"Master, it was too dangerous just now. You should have called us out." Ya Guang said as soon as he came out.
"This little bit of danger is nothing. It's not like it was a matter of life and death." Sima Youyue said.
"But Master, you're injured." Ya Guang said with heartache.
Sima Youyue patted Ya Guang's head and said, "If a person wants to grow, they have to learn to be independent. If you want to rely on others from the start, it will be very difficult for you to grow."
Ya Guang was silent for a while and said, "Master, I understand."
"Alright, I don't have any more strength to fight today. Let's go back." After speaking, she sat on Ya Guang's back and let it bring her back to the canyon.
Thinking back to the battle in the day, Sima Youyue felt a little excited. She realized that she could use the spiritual energy in her body better than yesterday. Her body that had not fought properly for a long time was screaming.
However, at the same time, she also realized that her body was not strong enough. That was why she was injured in the battle.
"It seems that not only do I need to fight, I also need to train my body." After speaking, Sima Youyue closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Wu Lingyu walked around the canyon. When he came back, he saw that Sima Youyue had already fallen asleep.
"You went out for a day and even came back injured. What did you do for the whole day?" Wu Lingyu muttered softly.
When he came to the bedside, Sima Youyue who was originally asleep opened her eyes. Seeing that it was him, she went back to sleep.
"What a vigilant girl." Wu Lingyu sighed in his heart. Then, he took off his shoes, went to the bed and lay down with his clothes on.
He didn't know if it was because he didn't eat today or because he was thinking about where she went, but he couldn't fall asleep. However, he seemed to have gotten used to having this girl by his side. Even if they were lying on the same bed, he didn't feel as repulsed as before.
However, this was also the first time he had removed his halo and interacted with others like a normal person.
Since he could remember, he was like the moon surrounded by stars. After that, he became the Holy Son of the Sage Pavilion. His status was even more noble. No matter where he went, there were all kinds of compliments and attentions.
After being saved, he ate and slept like a normal person. He even waited for someone to come back. These days could be said to have never happened before.
Maybe it was because the environment was different. He said to himself.
On the second day, Sima Youyue woke up very early again. Her injuries from yesterday had already healed a lot because of the pills. She went out to make breakfast and prepared to put it on the table for Wu Lingyu. However, she saw that he had already woken up.
"You're up so early." Sima Youyue said with some surprise.
"I couldn't sleep so I got up." Wu Lingyu said, "You've already made breakfast?"
"Mm." Sima Youyue placed the food on the table and said, "Since you're already up, let's eat together."
Wu Lingyu sat down at the table. Sima Youyue placed his breakfast in front of him.
Just as he expected, today's breakfast was different from before.
Sima Youyue sat opposite him. She didn't say anything and just buried her head in eating.
Wu Lingyu looked at Sima You Yue's appearance. Although she appeared to be dressed as a man, he inexplicably felt that he was sitting opposite a virtuous wife.
