Chapter 146: Meeting Again
Heavenly Star Continent was not simply the territory of the human race, it also the territory of beasts. They had their own part of the land. Among the four nations of the Heavenly Star, every nation had its own restricted areas, not only did these form natural strongholds, most of them were territories of beasts. They would not touch land that belonged to the human race, but if humans were to offend them, they would surely strike back. The regions that were considered restricted territories were not just simply being dwelled by ordinary jackals, wolves, tigers and panthers, but also terrible beasts that even the powerful masters would not dare to provoke.
The forest before their eyes was not a forbidden area. Inside, although the animals were many, most of them were of gentle temperaments and were cla.s.sified as the most natural animals. But there was a rumor that someone had encountered a very powerful magical creature in this forest. Whether it was genuine or fake, no one will be able to confirm it a hundred percent. Generally speaking, in addition to those designated dangerous region, the magical beasts of more than seventh level of powers rarely existed. But just one enchanted creature was enough to conquer a large area of territory though, like a mayor of a city.
Below him, the worn out horse treaded little exhausted steps as it strode into the forest. During nightfall, some insect cries and bird warbling could be heard within the forest. Perhaps there were some unknown dangers inside this forest, but as long as Tong Xin was present, he did not have any burdens in his heart. The ones who were in danger, on the contrary, were those humans or beasts that attempted to bring danger to them. The Cursed Woman did not know the meaning of kindness. So long as Ye Wuchen made a hand gesture or a meaningful glance, she could simply send them to purgatory easily and without hesitation.
As they traveled ahead, the sky started to become dark. It was during this time that a somewhat excited or angry roar echoed ahead of them. This roar was still some distance, yet it vibrated through the dried leaves on the trees, making them slightly tremble. Definitely not a sound produced by an ordinary ferocious beast. Beneath him, the horse gently neighed, then halted its steps, its whole body shivered, like it would collapse at any time.
Ye Wuchen’s brows raised, and carrying the two girls, he leaped down from the horse’s back, abandoning the horse as he proceeded forward, “Let’s go and see.”
It was such an unlikely coincidence that they witnessed the legendary enchanted beast the first time they arrived here.
But the fact was, it really happened. What makes it even more coincidental was, he not only came across the legendary enchanted beast, but also got the chance to meet the fairy-like woman. When Ye Wuchen saw her, the woman’s white dress was already stained with blood. Staggering her footsteps, she could only shelter herself using the tree as she dealt with the giant creature.
As she showed off her skills, Ye Wuchen found out that she had a ninth level middle rank strength. At this age, and also being a woman, it really made people gasp with admiration. Such kind of strength was obviously not enough for this enchanted beast though as she was very fortunate, and also very unfortunate. The fortunate thing was that she had inadvertently met this rarely seen enchanted beast, while the unfortunate thing was that she had accidentally offended this creature. Although she had an extraordinary temperament and a distinguished honorable ident.i.ty, her experience was very little. Her age was almost twenty, but this was her first time to step out of her house.
This enchanted beast was a strong dusty yellow color, more than three meters tall, with a single dusty-colored horn on top of its head. It seemed like a bear but not. As it clapped its thick front claws to beat the ground, the earth trembled, the surrounding trees shook almost collapsing, and the an earth wall rose up in front of the woman, knocking her against the ground. The single-horned beast wildly roared and its huge body leaped ahead, cold eyes flickering as its huge claws launched for her body. The woman opened her eyes wide, and a faint light of desperation flashed through her eyes.
Ye Wuchen did not have enough time to think, using the fastest speed he rushed forth before the single-horned creature could throw itself at her. He carried her in his arms as they fled away, then he put her down beside a tree and turned as he took out the Xue Ji Sword, stabbing the single-horned creature at the ground.
The woman was already wounded and without warning, she had been hugged by a man, with anger in her heart she fainted before she could speak further.
Roar!!
The single-horned creature, in its violent rage, did not have enough time to get up, yet it suddenly flung its right claw towards Ye Wuchen’s body. A whoosh of strong wind swept through his entire body painfully like piercing blade. He knew very well that even if he had the Xue Ji Sword with him, if he was to strongly push he would not have any positive gains. Before the sword and the claws came into contact, he narrowed his eyes and with full strength the beast pushed its palm out, aiming for the Xue Ji Sword as Ye Wuchen jumped to counter it…
Chi!
The Xue Ji Sword, instilled with a large portion of Ye Wuchen’s powers, shot at the palm of the single-horned creature, penetrating it. When Ye Wuchen dropped to the floor, he staggered a few steps. Taking a quick glance at the mysterious woman who had fainted, he yelled in a lowly, “Tong Xin!”
A tiny speck of b.l.o.o.d.y colored light, like a shooting star, shot out from Tong Xin’s hand, launching at the spot between the creature’s eyebrows, then coming out of its hindbrain. The single-horned creature’s incomparably resilient body, was easily pierced through like a bean curd by the ray of light.
The single-horned creature’s body limped forward a few steps with some resistance, subsequently producing a sorrowful roar as it heavily fell without any further sound. Although it was powerful, being the leader among all the beasts of this forest, but even Tao BaiBai was not able to meet face-to-face with Tong Xin, what more could this enchanted creature do?
Tong Xin brandished her hand and those rays of light, like shooting stars, flew back to her hand to form her blade, Punishment from Heaven. Due to the fast speed, there were no blood stains on it. She firmly remembered Ye Wuchen’s every statement and did not dare let her body get any bloodstains, she did not even dare to let her Punishment from Heaven Blade have any bloodstains.
Ye Wuchen softly drew in a breath, looking at the unconscious fairy, he shook his head and smiled, “Didn’t expect to rescue a damsel in distress today, despite the fact that it didn’t happen few days ago. Apparently, destiny brought us back together. That being the case…”
Ye Wuchen had already told Ning Xue before that Tong Xin was very awesome, more awesome than him. Today was the first time Ning Xue saw Tong Xin in action, and after being amazed, she excitedly hopped around Tong Xin. After a while she switched her attention to the fairy sister who had fainted. Her veil had not slipped, her left shoulder was smeared with a scarlet color, most likely from being hit by a heavy object.
“Brother, she…” Ning Xue glanced at the fairy sister, then glanced back at brother, not knowing what to do.
Ye Wuchen silently observed for a moment, his gaze seemed to penetrate her outer garments. Soon after, he shook his head and said, “En, it’s nothing, not a severe wound, so she will wake up soon.”
From the ring of the G.o.d of Sword he took out some medicine bottles prepared by w.a.n.g Wenshu and a roll of cotton cloth. He put them in Ning Xue’s hands and leaning over, he said, “Xue-er, she has a wound on her shoulder, a.s.sist her in putting the medicine, then dress it, won’t you?”
“But brother, you can heal her immediately.” Ning Xue held the medicine bottle, but asked in confusion.
Ye Wuchen smiled while shaking his head, “Brother doesn’t want any other people to know of some matters. Tong Xin, come here and lend a hand.”
When Ning Xue and Tong Xin carefully opened up the woman’s clothes, Ye Wuchen had already turned around, heading towards the huge body of the single-horned creature, overcome with boredom as he observed it. An enchanted creature’s levels absolutely exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, its skin, meat, muscles, and organs were treasures that could be sold at an extremely expensive price, but Ye Wuchen was completely uninterested. He was only taking control of his own eyes as he instinctively did not want to offend this mysterious “fairy”.
The curtain of night fell as the sky became dark grey. The three of them sat around a bonfire, laughing as they ate the roasted meat of unknown source. From time to time, Ye Wuchen glanced over to mysterious woman who was still unconscious, eyes flickering constantly, secretly guessing her origins. He believed that their meetings with each other were not simply by chance.
Finally, the woman’s eyes softly trembled, then slowly she opened her eyes. A bonfire, a man, two young girls appeared in her sight. After a brief moment of bewilderment, she quickly touched her face and shoulder, and immediately her facial expression changed.
“You don’t have to worry, my sister applied the medicine and bound it up. I neither looked nor touched it. Your face cover was never removed.” Ye Wuchen gazed fixedly, speaking plainly, even if he did not look at her, it was as if he still knew what she was thinking of.
Ning Xue swallowed the partly chewed food in her throat, and said, “Fairy sister, what brother said is true. Brother let me and sister Tong Xin a.s.sist you to put on medicine, he really didn’t look, and he also requested us not to touch your face cover… Although, we really want to see it.”
Tong Xin was still gulping down big mouthfuls of food. For the matters not concerning brother, she did not care about them.
The woman’s expression had finally calmed down a bit, and she slowly stood up. After all, it was not some serious wound. Based on her strength it was considered nothing. Thinking about how Ye Wuchen hugged her body to save her, her facial color went white and her body swayed a bit.
“Fairy sister, do you feel better now? Oh, that’s right, you must be hungry, these are some roasted meat that brother made, it’s really delicious. Fairy sister, come over here and eat with us, okay?”
The mysterious woman took a few more glances at Ning Xue. Great waves rose up from her heart, as before, she had had a very young sister. Everyday, she would warm heartedly call to her sister… But after that disaster, her younger sister, in addition to all her relatives, left her, with no chance of ever coming back. She slightly shook her head, “I’m not hungry, thank you.”
This was the first time she opened her mouth to speak. Her voice very weak, very clear, yet cold. Ye Wuchen was slightly startled, because he was suddenly reminded of the always introverted, unwilling to smile, unwilling to step out of her own courtyard, Ye Shuiyao. Their tone when speaking, as well as the facial expressions were very similar.
“Fairies do not eat food of common mortals, so she might not want to eat this roasted food.” Ye Wuchen said indifferently while he fiddled with the rabbit leg in his hand.
“Ah? Then what kind of food does the fairy sister like to eat?”
“Fairies, of course, eat magical flowers, magical plants, magical dew, or other similar things. Xue-er doesn’t have to worry about it.” Ye Wuchen said smiling, then taking the two wings from the top of the bonfire, he put them in her hands, “Come, your favorite wings are perfectly roasted already.”
These two wings came from a strange pheasant that spit fire. The wing part was always Ning Xue’s favorite. When Ye Wuchen first caught this fire pheasant he was very puzzled… With the existence of such fire-breathing animals, how come there were no fires, big or small, burning deep within this forest?
“Thank you brother!” Ning Xue happily took them, then putting the other in Tong Xin’s hand, “Sister Tong Xin, one for each of us.”
Tong Xin moved her hand to and fro, patting her own stomach, indicating she was already full. Ning Xue then held one wing on each hand, eating them with satisfaction.
From a few feet away, the woman with the wounded shoulder did not produce a sound from the beginning until the end, yet she also did not leave. She just sat down quietly, closing her eyes to recuperate and rehabilitate the wound on her shoulder. The shifting moonlight pa.s.sed through the tree leaves as shone at an incline, reflecting on her body, like a water curtain, illuminating the snowy white skin below the white veil, adding a greater degree of beauty on top of her fairy-like beautiful form.
Ye Wuchen calling her a fairy was not merely because of a good humor. She transcended the earthly appearance and temperament, causing him to undergo a brief shock. Calling her a fairy in the human world was not an exaggeration.
Unfortunately... Ye Wuchen secretly shook his head, this woman had obviously travelled very little, because her performance was too inexperienced.
Was that a trick of a beautiful woman? The Clan of Southern Empire? No… If it was the Clan of the Southern Empire, Shui Mengchan would be the better option, but then where would it be? What would be the purpose of approaching? Or maybe, he was just thinking too much.
