Chapter 66: Mute Beauty
“No matter what she is, just kill her.” Liu Su finally said, “It’s too weird for ordinary people to appear in this place.”
Kill her directly... Qin Yi twitched his mouth, knowing that he couldn’t do it.
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.
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?
