Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 855: Raising Pedestal
The dim cave was filled with a damp smell as Tang Xiu opened his eyes after removing the poison from his system and recovered from his serious internal injuries. To his surprise, the sky outside gradually faded into dimness while the cold wind carried with it the scent of food.
"Hm?"
Tang Xiu turned around and saw Zhang Xinyue leaning against the mountain wall, yet she looked tired and seemed to be confused. Suddenly his heart was filled with complex emotions that he had difficulty expressing.
'What should I do?'
He racked his brain to contemplate this particular problem, yet was unable to find the right way. It was because he was not that close to Zhang Xinya and the two of them had only met a few times before. If it was Zhang Xinya who lost her virginity to him, Tang Xiu might be able to accept it reluctantly, but he could not think of anything suitable for Zhang Xinyue.
"Should I be responsible?"
Not to mention that it was quite difficult for him to appreciate it, it was likely that Zhang Xinya would find out this matter between him and Zhang Xinyue would probably send a painful agony to the former. Moreover, even if he became a man and took responsibility for her, without attachments and feelings, it would not end up better for Zhang Xinyue and might even become her burden.
"You ... are you awake?"
Zhang Xinyue was conscious and aware. He could see the complex expression on Tang Xiu's face as he looked at her. An awkward expression immediately filled his face for a few seconds before he quickly adjusted himself and said, "You don't have to worry about what happened today. The reason why I .. well, it was just to pay back the grace to save my life . "
"I understand." Tang Xiu floated up and said again, "And thank you!"
However, a sour and bitter feeling filled Zhang Xinyue's heart. She has lost what is most important to a woman — her chastity — but in the end, it is exchanged for words that are just grateful?
His eyes could see an apologetic expression on Tang Xiu's face and he shook his head and said, "Let's just forget it! You saved me once and I saved you now, so we're even. I just hope that you never mention anything to anyone about what happened today, while on my side, it is, I will naturally not tell anyone else about what happened at Qingcheng Mountain either. Nothing happened between us after we left this place. "
"I give you my words," Tang Xiu nodded and looked at her while his body shivered a few times. Then, he suddenly asked, "By the way, have you had....lunch from yesterday until now?"
"I haven't eaten anything since last night," Zhang Xinyue replied.
Tang Xiu nodded without a word. He turned to step out of the cave and looked at Mo Awu, who was standing next to a rock a dozen meters away and said in a deep voice, "Have you come back with something to eat?"
Mo Awu flew up and respectfully said, "We were worried that making a campfire to burn meat would scare the enemy last night, so we bought food from the county town. Are you hungry? I'll give it to you now."
Tang Xiu nodded at her words and asked again while Tang Xiu picked up the packed food, "What about the Red Silk Flower?"
Mo Awu spread out his palm and took out the Red Silk Flower that was still in full bloom from the interspatial ring before saying, "We obtained this Red Silk Flower from Wang Xuezhong last night, but we also face unexpected situations. We killed two men who were seeking revenge from Qingcheng Monastery, but the other monastic people also fled. "
"I understand. Did you find the abnormal situation when you went to the city of Qinglin County?" Tang Xiu asked with a heavy voice.
"We heard the news that Wang Xuegang, the developer of the Golden Goblet villa complex of Emperor Gauze, was killed, along with some of his bodyguards who were in the vicinity. All of them were beheaded and their heads were now hung on the gates of the villa. We wondered and heard that the green-robed old man was the culprit. "
Dao Master Poison?
Tang Xiu's expression changed slightly. Then he nodded and said, "So, the Dao Master Poison hasn't left yet. He might be hiding in some corner of Qinglin County, waiting for us to walk into a trap. Awu, we will continue to hide here for the next few days, but we will leave after I recover from the injury. However, I need you to do something. "
"Please convey the order, Boss," asked Mo Awu.
"I will write a list of medicinal herbs for you," Tang Xiu said. "You will go to the Qinglin County herbal medicine market and buy it. If you can't find everything there, buy it somewhere else. Remember, make sure to buy all the potions I need within three days!"
"understand!" replied Mo Awu respectfully.
Tang Xiu returned to the cave and saw that Zhang Xinyue had put on her clothes, although they still could not hide her astonishing charm. He sighed deeply before taking out the table and folding chair from his interspatial ring. When he put the lunch box on the folding table, he said, "Alright, let's eat first. Also, I'm afraid we should stay here for the next few days."
Zhang Xinyue, however, only stared blankly at the tables and chairs that suddenly appeared out of thin air and muttered, "Have you just cast magic? Where did this table and chair come out from?"
Zhang Xinyue remembered how Mo Awu and the others could also fly, so she gradually relaxed around Tang Xiu who could also do some magical things. It had been two days since the last time he had eaten something and he was starving. When he opened the lunch box, the fragrant aroma of warm rice porridge and porridge floated into the air and he hurriedly picked up some mouthfuls of porridge and devoured the rest.
Seeing her current appearance made Tang Xiu feel amused inside. He was also starving so he followed and ate straight away. Fortunately, Mo Awu bought a lot of food, enough for him and Zhang Xinyue to satisfy themselves.
"Ah, I am full," Zhang Xinyue said after some time, filled with a satisfied expression and slightly bulging stomach. With that said, he reached out to clean up the leftovers and quickly got up and prepared to throw them outside. As he walked one step, he shouted after his legs staggered and tripped, his waist crooked before he fell to the ground.
Tang Xiu quickly crouched down beside her, then propped her up and asked, "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
"The suffering .. is because of you, freak!" angrily cursed Zhang Xinyue as she glared at Tang Xiu.
"Eh, what's wrong? You seem to be in pain?" Tang Xiu was confused.
"You still dare to continue ?!" Zhang Xinyue was furious.
Tang Xiu was completely confused by her attitude. He twisted his brain for a long time while watching him stand up carefully. Only then did he realize the situation.
"I ..." She was a bit awkward and embarrassed because she realized that "skin" should be Zhang Xinyue's first time. He broke his chastity during his unconscious state and he probably made him suffer big time due to his lack of control in strength and time.
"You get them out!" zhang Xinyue said angrily as she sat back on the chair.
Tang Xiu touched his nose and picked up the leftovers quickly went towards the entrance of the cave. After dumping the leftovers in the hidden bushes, he found a thick tree nearby and cut it into wooden planks and quickly made a single, rough bed.
When he returned to the cave, Tang Xiu placed a single bed on the side of the wall, then took out a few beds and pillows from the interspatial ring while saying, "We'll stay here for a while, please, so you can sleep in this bed later! You don't have to worry about water and food because I brought a lot of them. Enough for us to last a few days. "
Even though Zhang Xinyue had seen Tang Xiu's magical ways, she felt it was still interesting. However, the relationship between them at the moment was rather special, so he was too embarrassed to conduct a detailed investigation.
A few days later, after Tang Xiu took another Sacred Healing Pill, his wounds finally healed. However, he was in no hurry to leave this place even though his goal of coming to Mount Qingcheng had been achieved. It was because he had yet to get rid of the powerful enemies here, while Jin Shi, who had sneaked into Qinglin County many times, also reported that he obtained a lot of news from there.
Among them was a murder case that frequently appeared recently in Qinglin County. Almost all the victims who suffered tragic deaths came from Qingcheng Monastery. The entire county is now under martial law, and an investigation has been conducted to find the killer wearing green robes. But so far there has been no progress at all.
"Boss, out of the dozens of Qingcheng Monastery members who escaped, six of them are already dead by now. This school might be completely annihilated if the situation continues like this," Jin Shi reported with a bitter smile.
"Every cause has a result," Tang Xiu said indifferently. "That was a mistake made by the Qingcheng school in the past and what happened now was just retaliation. Wang Rui once helped Viviani; thus, she chose to join our Eternal Feast Hall, so we owe her a debt of gratitude. While it is somewhat unfortunate that we did not see that night, I fear the situation is fraught with dismal possibilities. "
"Talking about that, Wang Rui is indeed a good talent for cultivating," Jin Shi lamented. "Just that he had his flaws become somewhat arrogant. It was a pity that he died in the battle that night, otherwise he might be able to become a stable force amongst the Qingcheng school. They had gone through such a disaster, which might have stimulated him to achieve some success in the future. "
"Indeed, she is a talented individual, but Qingcheng Monastery is her home, however," Tang Xiu said with a smile. "If Qingcheng's school isn't extinct, he's of no use to us, even if he survives. As for you ... just don't make blind and unruly guesses."
"Hehe, since we can't use that talented individual, it means he's not a true talent, is he?" Jin Shi grinned. "By the way, you've recovered from your injury, Boss, so when are we going?"
Not far from where they were, Zhang Xinyue's expression moved as she could also hear their dialogue. His mood was very complicated at this moment. He disliked Tang Xiu at first even though he admitted that he was a kind and talented young man. After the experience of the incident he experienced in Mount Qingcheng — more with the fact that he has given him his chastity — now there is a special feeling in his heart for him. But if this feeling is called love, it is also far from it.
But after being together the past few days, even though Tang Xiu had been training most of the time, he paid extra attention and his eyes were always glued to her. She paid extra attention to every word and deed of hers, to every action and movement she performed, and even the words of regret, deeds, and regret that Tang Xiu had expressed while taking care of her. They all felt extremely overwhelming to him, making him constantly touch inside.
And now, after hearing the question from Jin Shi about when they would leave this remote and desolate forest mountain, another emotion surfaced in his heart. A feeling of unwillingness and unwillingness to end the days when she could be together with Tang Xiu from morning until night.
'A-what ...what's with this shadow in my mind?'
Zhang Xinyue suddenly regained her senses and quickly justified it with other thoughts, such as: The reason why I want to hang out with Tang Xiu more is because he has endless mystical ways!
