It rained heavily the whole night. The dark red river water was washed clean and clear.

The morning sunlight scattered layers of white clouds, gently shining on the wet woman by the river, warming her cold body.

When his black eyes slowly opened, the summer wind blew a few petals over his face. A few little sparrows hopped to her side, happily chanting "Great Time".

The astringent fragrance of the grass mixed with the fragrance of the earth gave him a comfortable feeling after taking a deep breath. At the same time, an unfelt pain welled up.

She sat up slowly. Besides the mud stains, the coarse clothes and the dark red blood stains. The blossoming flowers were shocking, causing one to involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.

The wound on her shoulder had already become a lot whiter, so she could clearly see the wound. The tearing pain made her reach out her hand to cover the wound.

It was still fine if she didn't move, but as she did, her mind began to feel stuffy and painful.

Her mind was as blank as the clouds in the horizon, trying hard to find out why she was here.

"I... "Who am I?" She muttered to herself that she didn't know who she was questioning.

Besides the birdsong and the fragrant flowers, there was nothing else that answered her.

She was stunned. She had lost her memory!

She couldn't remember who she was, or why she was here, or how she had gotten the wounds on her body! This kind of feeling of not remembering anything made one go into a frenzy. It was a pain that was even worse than the bone wounds on one's shoulder.

In her lowered eyes, she saw a man who was no better than her, lying beside her in a pool of water.

There was not a single trace of blood on his pale face, yet it did not cover his grave and stern face, as handsome as jade. In his scrunched brows, there was the coldness of winter.

He was dressed in a rich dark blue robe, embroidered with magnolia in silver thread, with gold cloud patterns at the front and cuffs. The jade pendant on her waist was a jade of a flying phoenix, showing the nobility of a man's identity.

She stretched out her hand to check the man's aura. After confirming that he was still alive, she forcefully shook him awake.

"Hey, wake up …" Wake up! "

His entire body twitched as he suddenly opened his eyes. Like an eagle pouncing on its prey, he fiercely grabbed the woman by the throat. Other than the sharp cold glint in his round eyes, it was also a suffocating killing intent.

Shi Jinchen came too suddenly, it was simply a conditioned reflex after a slaughter.

The woman was not prepared at all, as she repeatedly patted Shi Jinchen's arm in panic, and accidentally touched his wound.

The crimson liquid spread out, causing the woman to panic even more.

"Blood... "Blood …" She tried her best to warn Shi Jinchen.

"Who instigated This King to kill This King? Speak!" His voice was loud like a bell as he used even more strength in his hands. He did not seem like a person with multiple wounds on his body at all.

"I... I... Put... "Let go …" The girl was pinched so tightly onto his arm that she couldn't speak. Flowers began to fall in front of her eyes.

"Xiao Sui?" Shi Jinchen's ears moved, the woman's voice was something he was familiar with.

He forcefully swung his hand and released his Xiao Sui. However, there wasn't the slightest hint of warmth on his beautiful face. It was so cold that no one dared to approach him. "Why are you here?"

Xiao Sui rubbed at his sore throat, continuously coughing.

"I don't know, I woke up here!" Xiao Sui answered.

"What about the others?" Shi Jinchen asked coldly.

"No, just you and me."

Shi Jinchen frowned coldly, as he held down the blood dripping from the wound. He slowly stood up and staggered two steps, as if he was looking for something.

"It's so dark, why didn't you light the lamp?" He coldly asked about Xiao Sui.

Xiao Sui stared blankly for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the dazzling sun.

This? It's not dark!

Xiao Sui also slowly stood up, walking to his side and said: "It's daytime now, it's not dark!" She could clearly feel that the man's entire body was slightly trembling, and his grave and stern face twitched. "What did you say?"

"This is daytime. There's no need to light the lamp." Xiao Sui said it again.

Shi Jinchen stiffly lifted his hand, waved it in the air, and then shook it in front of his own eyes. He tried to open his eyes wide, but the response he got was endless darkness. In an instant, his pale face turned even more unsightly.

Anger gushed out of the man's eyes. He took two steps forward and almost tripped.

Xiao Sui could clearly see his every move, so she quietly took two steps forward, and carefully looked at his pair of black pupils. Other than the star-colored light, there was no other trace that could be seen.

"You … Are you blind? " Xiao Sui cried out in shock.

"This king is not blind, my Shi Jinchen will not be blind!" After the Shi Jinchen roared, the killing intent around her spread out, surrounding her and locking her throat.

"Speak, who sent you? "Why would we be ambushed by bandits after we saved you?"

The sudden appearance of the Shi Jinchen caused the three spirits of the Xiao Sui to be scared out of their wits, "I … I... I don't know... "I don't know anything …"

"Don't know?" This King sees you as a spy! This King gouged out your eyes first and will see if you are willing to say it or not! " The Shi Jinchen Hawk's claw was hard and strong. It extended two fingers and fumbled to gouge out Xiao Sui's eyes.

Xiao Sui was so frightened that he was crying. If he really were to go down now, he would be blind like him.

"I... If I were truly a spy, I would have already run away. Would I be able to wake you up and wait for you to gouge my eyes out? " The entire mountain was filled with her shrill voice.

Shi Jinchen stopped in mid-air, a pair of cold brows knitted tightly.

"Again …" Furthermore, there are only the two of us in this desolate mountain. Furthermore, you're injured and blind. If I am to be a spy, killing you would be as easy as flipping my palm. "

Although these words from Xiao Sui enraged him even more, it did not make sense, and the strength on his hands also slowed down.

Just as Xiao Sui was heaving a sigh of relief, Shi Jinchen's cold hand suddenly grabbed onto his pulse as fast as lightning.

"Ouch …"

This strike was even more painful than the one from before.

This meridian was the life of a person. If the opponent were to capture the meridian, then his life could be considered in the other party's hands. Thus, if a martial artist's martial arts were average, they would protect their meridians. If a martial artist was strong and had inner force to protect their meridians, they would injure their opponent. Only those who had no martial arts would be able to open their meridians, and they would be powerless to resist.

Shi Jinchen was very satisfied with Xiao Sui's reaction. His tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed, but the strength in his hands did not diminish at all. "Take this king away from here, or else …"

While he was speaking, he used more strength, causing his Xiao Sui to hurt so much that he almost fainted, as his mind buzzed.

Fortunately, he only used a short amount of strength, and then quickly released it. Xiao Sui instantly made him feel a sense of rebirth.

But Shi Jinchen's hand did not leave the vein gate, and merely did not use any more strength.

"I'll just take you away, you're not allowed to pinch me!" Xiao Sui said angrily.

"Cut the crap, hurry up and go!" The voice of the Shi Jinchen had always been as cold as ice.

Although the Xiao Sui was a hundred percent unwilling, they didn't have the ability to resist and could only obediently support him as he walked towards the place where there were other people.
