Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 66: Mute Beauty

It had nothing to do with gender difference, but his fundamental values couldn’t let him treat human life like a trivial matter.

It is indeed strange for ordinary people to appear in this place, but the possibility is not impossible. What if she fell off the cliff and went in through the space rift or something… What if she is really an innocent ordinary person? How can we kill her at will?

I can’t even bear leaving her here to her own demise, let alone killing her myself.

He squatted down hesitantly and checked the woman’s breath. She was a little weak, but she was still alive.

Seeing his actions, Liu Su knew his choice and sighed, “Soft heart of a woman. A farmer saves a snake, but he is harmed by the snake instead.”

“So you also have a story about a farmer saving a snake?” Qin Yi pointed to Ye Ling hiding in his arms, “There is already one. I don’t mind saving another one.”

“…” Liu Su said helplessly, “Forget it, I already knew you were kind-hearted, otherwise I wouldn’t dare to trust you in the first place… Save her if you want. Just don’t regret it later.”

Qin Yi bowed and carried the woman on his back. He turned around to see the scene of ten thousand beastkin besieging the Blood Scaled Dragon, then he quietly took a detour down the hill.

After walking for a few miles, the woman on his back slowly opened her eyes, seemingly awakened by the bump. She squinted and saw that she was being carried by a man. She was slightly startled, but she did not say anything. She carefully observed the surroundings, then she was slightly relieved, and she closed her eyes again.

Qin Yi actually couldn’t run anymore.

He was injured by the wolf beastkin, then he continued to fight without rest. Not only did the injury not heal after taking the medicine, but it actually got aggravated. After going through a big battle and running with injury, he had long been exhausted. Even his true qi was about to empty.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be bumpy. That was because he was really exhausted. Even his steps staggered a little.

Finally, they left the range of this hill and came to another rocky desert. Qin Yi gritted his teeth, rushed into the rocks, found an area in the middle of the surrounding rocks, which could be considered as a hiding place, and put the woman down against the rocks.

With great difficulty, he arranged a simple array in the surrounding area, then he sat down. Suddenly, he vomited a mouthful of blood and gasped violently.

He himself was an apothecary, so he knew very well that he couldn’t force himself any longer. If a little beastkin came at this juncture: for example, if there was something wrong with this woman, he could still rely on the array and Liu Su’s help to fight. If he continued to force himself, he would be really powerless.

He reached into his arms and touched the sleeping Ye Ling, took out a pill from his arms, consumed it, and said to Liu Su in his mind, “Keep an eye on this woman.”

Without waiting for Liu Su to reply, he closed her eyes and meditated.

Liu Su had been paying attention to the woman. In fact, it could see that the woman was awake. It just wanted to know what would she do. Qin Yi chose to set up a very appropriate array. It was Eight Diagrams Maze that could move rocks to create a maze. As long as the woman moved, Liu Su could make her lose direction with a simply drag, then it could play with her slowly.

In these aspects, Qin Yi had made rapid progress. His sense of combat was even more appreciated by Liu Su. He could always choose the most suitable method as quickly as possible. It would be great if he could not be so merciful…

The woman’s behavior shocked Liu Su.

She stood up holding on to the rock, then she stared at Qin Yi for a while with a complex look. After that, she sighed and looked around. Seeing water flowing from the rock wall nearby, she stumbled over, picked up a sunken stone, washed it, and brought back a puddle of water.

She seemed weak in doing these, which was completely consistent with the performance of ordinary people after falling from a height.

She put the water next to Qin Yi, stared at Qin Yi’s face silently for a while, then sat beside him with her knees in her arms and waited.

Liu Su, “…”

Really a good woman?

Someone with a slightly ulterior motive should not have this attitude.

Why is this dog Qin Yi so lucky? The Flying Serpent who shouldn’t be taken care of is getting cuter and cuter, and the stranger who shouldn’t be saved is really a good girl.

But then again, he should be wary of being possessed by the mace… Bah, this is what he should take care of the most!

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

Qin Yi was meditating to recover from his injuries, Ye Ling was sleeping, and Liu Su was also recovering her soul power. The woman sat quietly for a while, then went to the edge of the rock wall and used water to wash away the dirt and blood on her face.

There are still bloodstains on her face from rolling down the hillside, which affected her overall appearance. However, her approximate age could be told. She was about 25 years old. The bloodstains could no longer hide her skin as white as snow and eyes as bright as stars. She was a standard beauty. Her lips were slightly thicker, but they made her more sexy. Her bloodless lips made people feel pity for her.

Then, Liu Su discovered that the woman was barefoot. Her snow-white feet were crystal clear and soft, but when she stepped on the sand and gravel, she didn’t frown in discomfort. She was obviously used to being barefoot, her foot should be rough. How could they be so white and tender?

Liu Su felt a little chilled in her heart.

She is already so tempting with bloodstains all over her face and tattered clothes. Wouldn’t she be gorgeous after dressing up? Qin Yi, don’t be charmed by her that you even forget Li Qingjun.

Liu Su’s soul power checked the Flying Serpent in Qin Yi’s arms.

Ye Ling was still sleeping, but her injury recovered very quickly. Liu Su knew that the battle in the blood pool was actually beneficial to Ye Ling. Even the injuries were beneficial.

Because there was a lot of snake blood in the blood pool, which had been refined by the array. Apart from the most refined part, the rest was also the refined blood marrow.

Ye Ling originally had very ordinary snake blood except for a little awakened Flying Serpent bloodline. According to the true cultivation method of beastkin cultivation, it should wound its body, release blood, and absorb the blood of higher-level snake beastkin to dilute the worst part of the blood. After repeating it over and over again, the beastkin will gradually evolve.

At this time, there is already an unknown amount of snake beastkin blood of various types, gradually washing away the trash blood in her body.

Therefore, as long as Ye Ling survives, the battle in the blood pool will benefit her greatly. When this stupid snake wakes up, she may grow a lot. This is a blessing for her.

If she even gets this Blood Lotus, then it’s a greater blessing.

This thing is truly priceless. It could be treasured by the sect even in the Immortal Realm. It is of great use to me, Qin Yi, and Ye Ling. As long as we leave here smoothly and find a safe place to refine elixirs, then this trip will be very profitable… As for the method to lift the curse, it doesn’t matter…

Just as it was thinking this, it saw Qin Yi open his eyes.

His injury was not serious, but fighting with the injuries had over-exhausted him. After taking medicine, he quickly recovered 60% from the injuries.

He immediately looked at the woman sitting on the side, then he looked at the mace with a questioning look.

Liu Su said sullenly, “She has been awake for a long time, but her performance is normal so far.”

The woman also noticed that Qin Yi was awake. She stood up, bowed, and pointed to the water next to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was stunned, “You… can’t speak?”

The woman nodded.

A mute person?

Qin Yi and Liu Su were both stunned.

The stun was followed by a headache. He originally wanted to ask her about her origins, but how could a mute answer? Qin Yi had no choice but to ask tentatively, “What should I call you?”

The woman picked up a stone and carved the word “Cheng” on the ground.

After hesitating for a moment, she carved another Cheng.

Cheng Cheng? Qin Yi also knew that her surname was probably Cheng, but she didn’t want to say her real name, so she wrote another Cheng instead.

Qin Yi wasn’t bothered. They had their own secrets. Name didn’t matter as long as she was harmless. Then he said, “My name is Qin Yi. How did you get to this damn place?”

Cheng Cheng pointed to the distance on the right, meaning she lived somewhere over there.

Then she made a very strange gesture as if begging Qin Yi to take her away.

Qin Yi was shocked. This rift valley is full of dangers. Even Ming He’s master doesn’t dare to step in lightly. There are people actually living here?

And they are people without cultivation?

How did she live so long?
