Gu Ruoyun has the ability to nurture an average weapon into a spiritual weapon so she has a lot of spiritual weapons on hand. Naturally, the white dragon could find a place for it to recuperate.
"Yes, Master."
The white dragon replied softly. To him, recuperating his soul was at the highest priority.
Just then, a small hand pushed the door open and a little maiden with two braids walked in, carrying a pot of water. When she that Gu Ruoyun had woken up, she approached her joyfully.
"You're awake? Big Brother was out hunting in the mountains when he found your unconscious body on the ground. He was afraid that you would run into fearsome spiritual beasts so he had brought you back."
Naturally, she was referring to regular wild animals with no spiritual consciousness when she said that her brother was out 'hunting'.
Normal beasts exist just like regular humans on the mainland.
"Thank you."
Gu Ruoyun held her forehead and tried to get out of bed. However, she was not as strong as she thought she was and staggered a little before she sat right back on the bed again.
It seems that she has to endure many repercussions after unwittingly forming a contract with this Divine Weapon. She would not be able to help Yu'er to search for medicinal herbs for the time being.
"Be careful." When she saw what Gu Ruoyun had tried to do, the little maiden hurriedly put the wooden basin down and quickly rushed over to support her. "You are already so badly injured, you should get a proper rest," she chided Gu Ruoyun with slight impatience. "For the time being, it's best that you stay put."
Gu Ruoyun frowned. She then turned towards the little maiden who was making her way towards the wooden basin once again. "What is this place? Also... Who are you?"
The little maiden held a handkerchief up and walked back towards Gu Ruoyun. She grinned and the freckles on her face complimented splendidly along with her smile. "You may call me Xiao Yu, just like Big Brother. This is Wind Fall Village. My mother and father were both killed by bandits so it's just me and my brother now. By the way, what's your name?"
My name?
Gu Ruoyun paused and fell silent for a moment before she slowly replied, "My name is... Nian Ye."
"Nian Ye?" The little maiden cocked her head and murmured, "What a strange name. If your name is Nian Ye, who are you missing?"
Gu Ruoyun smiled delicately but did not answer her question. It was a good thing that the little maiden did not prod her any further. She glanced at the sky outside the house and exclaimed in a good-natured manner, "The sun is setting soon, Big Brother should be on his way back now."
It was easy to see that the little maiden misses her older brother dearly.
As soon as she has spoken, a noise sounded from outside the door. A man who was holding a large bow in his hand then slowly walked into the house. He was dressed in a tiger skin waistcoat which set off his tanned complexion.
"Miss, are you alright now?"
The man had noticed that Gu Ruoyun, who was lying on the bed, was awake. He scratched the back of his head in amicably and chuckled, "It was my sister who had helped you out of your clothes. However, there aren't any decent clothes in the house so we'll have to inconvenience you for now. I hope you don't mind."
"It's fine, I don't mind. It would be reasonable to say that I should be the one to thank you both for saving my life."
Gu Ruoyun smiled and replied nonchalantly.
When he heard her words, the man heaved a sigh of relief. Even though this lady was drenched in blood when he had found her, he could tell from her aura that she was definitely not from an average organization. He had been really afraid that she would take offense.
"Miss, I don't know what you had encountered which had resulted in someone trying to hunt you down. However, you can recuperate here in peace. The Wind Fall Village folk are a simple and honest bunch. You need not worry about your enemies finding you here."Who else? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) QIAN. BAE. YEAAAAHHH!
