With the addition of so many high-ranked demonic beasts, after struggling for exactly six hours, when the sky was already bright, the entire river bank in the forest disappeared.
Zhu Yao instantly heaved a sigh of relief. The river water had a very strong corrosive effect towards mystic artifacts, and basically, they would lose their effects the moment they came into contact with the water. This was also the reason why this place was a magic forbidden zone.
Now that there was no river bank, if that jade fell, it would instantly be destroyed, and it was impossible for Mu Meiyan to possess those mystic artifacts.
After completing the mission, Zhu Yao had everyone return to their own homes and find their own mothers. Although the demonic beasts looked unwilling, they still did not dare to disobey her orders. With every step they took, they would turn their heads and disperse, except for that tenth-ranked demonic beast called Chen Ning.
From the expansion of the river earlier, it could be seen that Chen Ning should be the strongest amongst this group of demonic beasts. Although the demonic beasts might not submit to his teachings, they did not dare to provoke him easily.
He said that he did not live in this forest, but after knowing the direction she was heading in, he insisted that he was heading in the same direction, and shamelessly followed her. Yet, he just had to help her out earlier. Zhu Yao could not find the words to reject him, and could only allow him to follow.
"Lord, actually, I have a little bit of your bloodline as well. Look at my claws, don't they look very similar to yours?" As Chen Ning said that, he reached out a gigantic chicken claw towards her.
The hell, how are they similar? You're a motherf * cking chicken claw, I'm a five-clawed dragon, alright? Zhu Yao's expression turned as dark as ink. Turning her head, she glared at him, and coldly mocked. "If you turn into a human, don't you look even more similar?"
When Chen Ning heard this, as though he had just regained his senses, he immediately returned to the image of that elegant white-clothed gentleman. He smiled brilliantly at her, and even intentionally reached out his front claws. No, now, it was his right hand. He looked to the right, and then to the left. He even secretly glanced at her hand, and chuckled while cupping his face. "Lord has claws as well, and I have claws as well. We sure are fated."
Fated your sister!
Zhu Yao resisted the urge to slap him to death with her claws. Summoning her own flying sword, she then flew up.
Chen Ning, like a qualified follower, immediately flew up as well. He was a demonic beast. There was no need for Zhu Yao to borrow a mystic artifact to fly in the first place, but she had already gotten used to it after so many years.
Chen Ning silently looked at her. He chanted something, and materialized a flying sword as well. Step on it. Seeing that Zhu Yao was ignoring him, he glanced at her again. The three feet long green peak beneath his feet flashed, and suddenly changed its shape. Its appearance was exactly the same as the one beneath Zhu Yao's feet. Furthermore, he straightened his back and adopted the exact same posture as her.
That's enough. Zhu Yao almost spat out a mouthful of blood on his face. Was there a need to learn from her to this extent? Why don't you change your appearance to be exactly like her, eh? "
Zhu Yao felt a little irritated. I need some time alone!
Ignoring the actions of Chen Ning who was a madman chasing after idols, he focused on controlling his sword, raising its speed to the maximum. Chen Ning also tactfully shut his mouth. They didn't speak on the way, and after an hour, when she was just about to fly out of this forest, Chen Ning suddenly spoke.
"Eh, there's actually a mortal down there."
Zhu Yao was startled, as she had indeed sensed someone's presence below. However, it was still a distance away, and there seemed to be some rank 3 demonic beasts around. It was accompanied by a faint smell of blood.
That person did not have the aura of Spiritual Qi, so he should be a mortal. But this was the Demonic Beast Forest. Why would there be a mortal who would take things this hard?
Zhu Yao pondered for a moment, and in the end, she couldn't just leave him to die. Turning around, she flew in that direction.
From afar, she saw three rank 3 little demonic beasts surrounding something. Initially, she wanted to summon a lightning bolt to scare the demonic beasts away.
However, when she saw the little figure that was lying in a pool of blood, her heart instantly trembled. The hell, why was it him!?
Zhu Yao was instantly enraged. The pressure of a Demigod immediately pressed towards the three demonic beasts, instantly pressing them onto the ground.
"Yue Ying!" Wasn't he still sleeping in Celestial Indus Sect? Why was he in this forest, hey?
As though he had heard her voice, the unmoving bloody person who was lying on the ground earlier, suddenly moved, and raised his head. The moment he saw her flying down, his eyes which were initially dead still instantly shone.
He actually began to crawl towards her. Zhu Yao landed next to him, and just when she was about to carry him up to inspect him, he took a step ahead of her. He grabbed onto the corner of her robe, and held onto it tightly, as though he was unable to let go no matter what.
Zhu Yao instantly felt a little sour in her heart. She hurriedly formed a hand seal to stop the blood on his body, and carried him into her embrace.
His injuries were very severe, and it seemed as though his entire body was filled with wounds. Several of the bones in his legs were even broken. She really did not know how such a small child was able to hold on.
Zhu Yao was a little anxious. His aura was very weak, and although she had temporarily stopped his bleeding, she did not know how long he could last. If she wanted to treat his injuries, her blood vessels had to be unblocked. He himself did not have any cultivation, and was unable to protect his heart vessels. She was afraid that he would not be able to hold on until she finished treating him. Yet, she had everything on her body, except for medicine.
"Lord, do you need medicinal pellets?" Chen Ning suddenly popped his head out, and looked at her with an expectant look.
"You have them?" Zhu Yao turned her head in astonishment.
"Mn." Chen Ning nodded strongly, and reported out a string of names. "I have low-grade Blood Staunching Pellets, mid-grade Blood Staunching Pellets, and high-grade Blood Staunching Pellets. I also have low-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade Essence Pellets, Body Strengthening Pellets, Foundation Pellets, Azoth Pellets, and Nascent Pellets. There's a wide variety of them, and they have everything you need. The price is affordable, and I'm honest with you. Furthermore, as long as it's a low-grade pellet, I'll introduce a 'buy two get one free' discount, and the price is only … Uh, Lord, do you want them? "Chen Ning changed his words at the last moment.
"I don't have any spirit stones." Zhu Yao's expression darkened. She had everything, but she didn't have any money.
Chen Ning's face instantly flushed red. He glanced at her with an awkward look, and weakly replied. "It's just a few medicinal pellets. If Lord wants them, how can this subordinate accept your spirit stones?" Didn't he say he was used to it earlier?
"Then give me a high-grade Blood Staunching Pellet." Zhu Yao said.
Chen Ning instantly retrieved a small bottle from the pouch next to him, and passed it to her with extreme joy.
Zhu Yao poured out a pellet that was suffused with a faint red glow. As expected, it was a high-grade Blood Staunching Pellet. She then returned the rest to Chen Ning, and said. "I'll return the Spirit Empress to you in the future."
Chen Ning's expression instantly collapsed. Speaking too fast would kill a beast. He clearly just wanted to curry Lord's favor.
Zhu Yao fed Yue Ying the Blood Staunching Pellet, and then used her spiritual energy to help him dissolve the medicinal effects, protecting his heart meridians. Only then did she undo the Mystic Art that she used to stop his bleeding earlier.
Initially, she wanted to help him sit properly, and help him treat his injuries. However, Yue Ying was nestled in her embrace, and no matter what, he refused to get up. He did not move, nor did he speak. He simply stared straight at her, and did not even blink, as though he was afraid that she would once again leave.
Zhu Yao's heart ached for a moment. She repeatedly guaranteed that she would not leave, and then, she simply allowed him to grab onto the corner of her robe, before allowing him to sit up.
Zhu Yao closed her eyes, circulated the spiritual energy in her body, and summoned her own sword intent. In an instant, a phoenix flew out from her body, and its entire body was filled with lightning sparks, as though it was formed from lightning sparks. Not even a moment later, the lightning sparks slowly turned blue, turning into the colour of water. Furthermore, they had turned gentle as well, and completely did not have the slightest bit of that ferocious feeling from before. It did not fly into the sky, instead, it spread open its gigantic wings, and brought the child in front of it under its wings.
While the wounds on Yue Ying's body, were slowly healing.
In the beginning, Chen Ning was frightened by that huge bird, and his entire body could not help but tremble a little. Phoenix … That was an Ancient Divine Beast just like a dragon. As a demonic beast, he naturally held fear and worship towards it.
However … Shouldn't Lord be a dragon? Why did the Sword Intent she cultivated look like a phoenix?
Chen Ning could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. In the end, he concluded that as expected of Lord! So amazing. I worship her so much. I really want to hug her thighs.
Zhu Yao spent an entire day and night, before she was able to repair the meridians and wounds on the little ghost's body. After he was done, the first thing he did was to crawl forward two steps. Then, he hugged onto her neck, and leaned into her embrace, not moving an inch.
Zhu Yao was a little speechless.
His clothes were already tattered beyond recognition, and after the clothes that were stained with fresh blood dried, they looked very dirty. Zhu Yao sighed, and cast a Dirt Removal Incantation on him. Only then did he feel a little better.
After pondering for a moment, she then took out a few smaller clothes from her ring. Back then, when she was still in version 2.0, her master had made them for her. After she grew up, she did not know why her master would still place them in her storage ring. She had never been willing to throw them away either. Though they were female clothes, at the very least, they were better than him wearing a set of tattered clothes.
Zhu Yao once again spent some effort, before she was able to teach Yue Ying to wear the new clothes. This time, he was very obedient. He no longer hugged onto her and refused to let go. However, during the entire process of wearing the clothes, he was still tightly grabbing onto the corner of her clothes.
Zhu Yao looked at the set of tattered clothes in her hands, which was the uniform uniform of Celestial Indus Sect disciples that had been changed out, and frowned. She could guess that when the little ghost woke up, he did not see her, hence, he chased after her, and arrived at this forest.
She used a Deep Slumber Incantation, and this place was right at the foot of Celestial Indus Sect's mountain. It could be seen that the earliest he left the mountain was the morning of the second day.
Logically speaking, with so many disciples in Celestial Indus Sect, if a child without any abilities ran out, there should be people who saw it. Even if no one saw it, after discovering it, they would definitely come looking for her.
However, she had been sitting here for an entire day and night. Putting aside the disciples who came looking for a beating, Celestial Indus Sect did not even have the slightest bit of reaction. This could only mean that they basically did not come looking for her, or they simply did not care about losing a disciple like this.
He suddenly recalled the expression the Celestial Indus Sect Master had when he saw that Yue Ying possessed the Penta Spirit Veins during the Spirit Veins test. Especially when he saw that Yue Hanxin possessed the Heavenly Spirit Veins, his expression was especially obvious. Most probably, he did not have any expectations for this child in the beginning, right?
However, even if that was the case, a child had gone missing just like that. Putting aside the fact that he had just been born, and was as blank as a piece of white paper, even a slightly more normal person would come looking for him, right?
Celestial Indus Sect's disregarding attitude, was something that Zhu Yao, who had transmigrated from the modern era, was completely unable to accept.
After considering for a moment, she decided to bring the child back to Azureflight Sect. At the very least, there was a bunch of radishes that were similar to him, and they could coexist peacefully.
Zhu Yao summoned her flying sword, and the child was still like a little tail, tightly tugging onto the corner of her clothes as he followed behind. She did not know if it was because he had self-taught himself when he descended the mountain yesterday, but he already knew how to walk. Although his posture was a little strange, and was a little stiff, he still stood very stably.
