“That’s natural. Although that fellow is seriously injured, he, after all, is a Yinyang Realm expert. It probably won’t take long for him to recover. He must be killed before he recovers completely.”
The Moon Maiden suddenly became serious when she said this. She no longer resembled the lady next door, instead resembled a goddess again.
“Mmm, the Evil Beast Demon King has harmed many martial artists in Thousand Ghosts Forest for tens of thousands of years. If he is not killed, it will be difficult for the Heavenly Dragon Continent to have peace.”
Ling Xiao nodded and said: “Moreover, that fellow is so powerful. If we don’t take advantage of his injuries to kill him, I’m afraid it will be difficult to get another chance in the future.”
“That’s true. Even though I used Moon Fall Strike, which is the strongest attack of the Moonlight Sword Art, I was still unable to kill him. Moreover, that chance was thanks to you breaking his Myriad Beast Blood Refine Formation. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.”
The Moon Maiden was a relatively calm person. She clearly understood the gap between herself and her opponent.
Ling Xiao truly admired this point. If a person couldn’t even figure out one’s own worth, how could he talk about dominating the Profound Realm?
He might be killed soon.
“Okay, the medicinal liquid is ready. Moon maiden, come and soak in it. I’ll go out and be your dharma protector.”
Ling Xiao filled the bathtub with warm water and said with a smile.
“You don’t have to go outside. Just stay inside and cultivate.”
The Moon Maiden understood that Ling Xiao wanted to go out mainly because of the difference between men and women. However, it was dangerous outside the cave. She wasn’t shameless enough to occupy other people’s caves, and make the other people take risks.
It was enough as long as the other party turned around and keep a distance.
“Okay.”
Ling Xiao knew that the Moon Maiden was not a pedantic person. So, he was also not polite and walked towards the cave exit. After walking for a certain distance, he sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
……
The feelings between people must be nurtured.
In the past three days, Ling Xiao had taken good care of the Moon Maiden. He prepared medicinal liquid for her and helped her get rid of the remnant soul power of the Evil Beast Demon King from within her body. As a result, the relationship between these two people quickly got close.
As it turned out that the Moon Maiden was very approachable. Now, she was like old friends with Ling Xiao. Sometimes, she would even pat his shoulders subconsciously, moreover, make some intimate gestures.
Naturally, Ling Xiao knew that the Moon Maiden had no other meaning, and she was not too rigid about the difference between men and women. It was just that he felt a bit uncomfortable.
His cultivation base was lower than hers, so he had this trouble. Because he basically didn’t know whether the other party would suddenly change her attitude, he must always be on guard.
His relationship with her was far from being as close as his relationship with Ling Yixue, Dai Yuling, and Leng Mei.
Naturally, compared to most people, their relationship was naturally much better. Even in front of the Moon Maiden, Ling Xiao didn’t use courteous words like when facing Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy, Moonlight Sect Master Chang Yueying, and Desperate Tower Master.
He talked with the Moon Maiden as he was chatting with his peers.
“The restriction within your body is basically removed. But you still need to soak in the medicinal liquid one last time. I will go to collect the medicinal herbs.”
“Let me go. You are too weak. The demon beasts run rampant in this Thousand Ghost Forest. If you encounter one, you can’t defeat it.”
The Moon Maiden stood up and said.
“Be obedient. Your restriction is just a bit away from being completely removed. If you rashly use your true essence now, everyone might be for naught!”
After speaking, Ling Xiao turned and left.
“Be obedient? He actually dared to ask me to be obedient?”
The Moon Maiden stood there, stunned.
Did this boy lose a few screws of his brain? A Transcendent Realm martial artist actually instructed her, a Yinyang Realm powerhouse, to be obedient?
After a while, her stunned expression suddenly turned into a smile: “This little fellow is quite interesting. When I woke up back then, Heavenly Maiden was no longer around, and no one cared about me. As for those higher-ups of the Moonlight Sect, they just had awe and greed towards me. They basically didn’t have any concern about me, but this little fellow is an exception.”
At this moment, her smile was truly brilliant, but it was a pity that Ling Xiao was not here to see it. Otherwise, his heart would have been moved for sure.
“No. Since it has already been three days, it’s impossible for that Evil Beast Demon King to not act at all. I have to go out and take a look.”
Although her restriction was not completely removed. At this moment, she was already much stronger than Ling Xiao.
She was truly worried about Ling Xiao’s safety, so she decided to go and take a look at the situation.
Just after arriving at the cave exit, she suddenly heard a beast roar in the distance. Her complexion immediately changed. Judging from the sound, it was at least a rank-nine fierce beast. It was basically impossible for Ling Xiao to resist it.
She became very anxious and tried to use the Moon Shadow Divine Walk to leave the cave, but she was stopped by the formation at the cave entrance.
“Damn it! If something happens to Ling Xiao, I will turn the entire Thousand Ghost Forest into ruins! And kill all beasts here!”
She was about to use a powerful martial skill to directly break the formation forcibly, but she saw a figure rushing over.
He was Ling Xiao.
The Moon Maiden was overjoyed.
She had never thought that she would care so much about this little brat.
But at this moment, she was completely unable to control her emotions. This was her truest expression from the bottom of her heart.
“Are you alright, Ling Xiao?”
The Moon Maiden asked hastily.
“I’m fine. That was just a fierce beast!”
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile: “I have collected the herbs. Now, I will make you the medicinal liquid. This is the last time. After using it, you should be fine.”
Looking at Ling Xiao’s expression, the Moon Maiden was a little confused.
At this moment, Ling Xiao didn’t seem to be injured, so she sighed in relief and said nothing.
After entering the cave, Ling Xiao began to refine the medicinal liquid.
Not everyone could prepare this kind of medicinal liquid. What kind of medicinal herbs should be used and how much should be used were very particular. A slight inconsistency might create a completely different thing.
Therefore, he had to do it in person.
After about five to six minutes, Ling Xiao held the bathtub and said with a smile: “Okay, you can start soaking now. I’ll go to cultivate.”
“Thank you.”
The Moon Maiden was a little vexed. She didn’t know how she should face this kid in the future. Could she truly accept this kid as her disciple?
She made a wry smile. She then took off her robe and was about to soak in the bathtub when she suddenly heard a bang sound.
She hastily turned her head to look.
There, she saw Ling Xiao was already lying on the ground, and there was a hint of black qi rising from his body.
“Ling Xiao!”
The Moon Maiden screamed, casually draped the robe around her body, rushed over, and helped Ling Xiao up.
The black qi was rising from Ling Xiao’s back.
So, the Moon Maiden tore Ling Xiao’s clothes and checked. She found that there was a claw mark on Ling Xiao’s back, which was emitting black qi.
“You idiot, you are hurt so badly but you still said you were okay!”
The Moon Maiden was so distressed that she was about to cry.
The Moonlight Heavenly Maiden had already disappeared, leaving her alone for tens of thousands of years. Now, she finally met a person with whom she could chat like a friend, but he was hurt like this.
She swore that she would never let Ling Xiao have an accident again!
Absolutely not!
