Li Xiaonan held a broken fan in his left hand to fend off the attacks of five people, while his right hand pulled out a Desert Eagle from the Soul Ring.
He had to admit that he hadn't forgotten his headshot skills in CS; with seven Foundation Pill bullets, he aimed at the five attackers, ensuring that those with higher cultivation received more bullets.
Li Xiaonan thought to himself: Explode, explode, explode... a series of seven explosions.
An electric net appeared around the Five Scatter Cultivators, momentarily halting their movements.
A glint flashed in Li Xiaonan's eyes as he used the broken fan to escape deeper into the forest.
At first glance, it seemed like Li Xiaonan had struck gold, but in reality, he felt quite frustrated! His Inner Thoughts were: Oh no! A disaster triggered by a single egg! My Red Bean Golden Pill!
Although the golden pill within him was small, it still shone brightly. Now, however, it appeared dull and dusty like a pearl covered in grime.
As Li Xiaonan flew, he checked his body. His clothes were tattered, and there was no intact part left on him. He had just used the Desert Eagle to fend off the five attackers, creating an opportunity for escape, but it had also inflicted a fatal wound on him. The moment the pill exploded, Li Xiaonan was forced into the chaos, resulting in injuries that were merely flesh wounds. As long as he found a place to rest and recuperate, he could heal.
Unfortunately, plans often go awry; how could those five let him off so easily? The other two Cultivators wouldn’t attack him directly but wouldn’t help him either—they were merely bystanders.
Li Xiaonan flew lower and lower, gazing at the dense forest ahead. He was occasionally whipped by branches but couldn’t afford to care about that now. The five behind him formed another formation to pursue him, moving even faster than he was!
Hearing water sounds ahead, Li Xiaonan quickened his pace and burst out of the forest. In the distance lay a clear spring; a path led from the spring towards Mountain Valley. Beside the path stood a stone tablet: "Those who trespass into Dragon Valley shall die!"
His Inner Thoughts raced: I can't worry about that now! I need to shake off those behind me first! With that thought in mind, he flew towards the Clear Spring, where he seemed to see a figure.
When Li Xiaonan got a clear look at that figure, he was stunned and fell straight from his broken fan.
The figure in the spring was a woman.
Her skin was as white as snow, and her long black hair cascaded down her jade-like back like a waterfall. She wore an icy expression, yet her beauty was extraordinary; it seemed that with just one glance from her captivating eyes, all flowers in the valley would lose their color. It felt as if just a slight parting of her red lips would silence all birdsong in the valley...
Li Xiaonan sat foolishly in the icy pond, his face flushed. This stunning beauty was completely naked in the water.
When the woman saw Li Xiaonan, she was taken aback, her expression shifting to one of anger.
At that moment, the Cultivator chasing Li Xiaonan arrived. Startled, Li Xiaonan quickly grabbed a set of clothes and tossed them to the woman before turning to flee from Clear Spring.
He could have chosen to escape into Mountain Valley, but if he did that, it would mean that others would see the woman as well. His inner thoughts were: Such a beautiful girl should not be seen by anyone else; let me play the hero and save her.
However, it seemed Li Xiaonan had forgotten that he was the one who had first gazed at the woman inappropriately, and it was also his actions that had drawn trouble to her. How could he claim to be saving her?
"Fool! Aren't you running?" Chen Yi panted heavily.
Li Xiaonan helplessly wore a silly grin, standing dazed in front of the forest, blocking everyone's view. To others, he was now nothing more than a target.
"Hehehe... run... can't move!" After uttering those last words, he became entangled in a fight with the five pursuers.
The woman in the pond watched everything unfold. With a graceful wave of her hand, she donned a green dress.
After about a quarter of an hour, Li Xiaonan finally succumbed. His True Essence Power had long been depleted, and his Meridians were somewhat damaged. He felt deeply unwilling and sighed inwardly: It seems I can't escape today. All I did was take an egg; why does it have to end like this? Those adventures in novels never turn out this way for me.
"You brat, you're really tough to deal with! Hand over the treasure! Otherwise, I'll kill you! The treasure will still belong to me!" Chen Yi sneered.
Li Xiaonan grinned foolishly, his mind racing for ideas, but unfortunately, he couldn't come up with anything.
His habitual smile was once again misunderstood. Chen Yi frowned angrily and shot a beam of green light toward Li Xiaonan!
"Enough!" A clear and melodious female voice rang out. The owner of the voice raised her hand slightly and dispersed the green light effortlessly.
"Those who dare invade my Dragon Valley shall die! I give you one chance: disappear or die." Li Xiaonan stared blankly at her; it was indeed the woman from the pond.
Li Xiaonan's inner thoughts raced: An adventure has arrived! The girl is here too!
Chen Yi was astonished; he never expected to encounter such a person halfway through his journey, and he recognized this individual. He said, "We are Cultivators from the Outer Academy. We came to Fangcun Mountain for training, and in pursuit of this child, we inadvertently arrived at Ling Kui's Dragon Valley. I hope the fairy can forgive us. If we can take this child back, Lord Xing Su from the Outer Academy's Azure Dragon Hall will be immensely grateful."
Ling Kui sneered, "What did you call me? Fairy? Hmph! Do you think I don't know that in the eyes of you Cultivators, I am merely a Demoness?"
Chen Yi awkwardly smiled, "I... I hope the fairy can grant us mercy."
"If you call me Demoness, I might still give you a chance. Unfortunately, I despise fairies the most in my life. Now get lost!" After finishing her last word, Ling Kui waved her azure sleeve, and a fierce wind swept through, sending the five of them out of sight.
Li Xiaonan watched all of this unfold and thought to himself: Wow! This woman is so fierce! Her cultivation must be at least at the Separation Stage.
"You! Follow me!" Ling Kui said coldly to Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan let out a muffled groan; as he moved, all his wounds throbbed painfully. Now that his spirit had relaxed, he suddenly felt an unprecedented fatigue.
He thought: I initially believed that a beautiful woman saving a fool would lead to good days ahead, but unexpectedly... sigh, beautiful women always have their own temperaments.
Li Xiaonan slowly got up and followed Ling Kui into the valley.
In the depths of the forest, the five Loose Cultivators were thrown to the ground by Ling Kui's wind technique, looking quite disheveled.
One person asked, "Brother Chen, are we just going to let that fool go?"
Chen Yi replied fiercely, "Hmph! We'll return to the Outer Academy and tell Lord Xing Su that the fool is colluding with Fangcun Mountain's Demoness Ling Kui. I believe Lord Xing Su will persuade Elder Qinglong to come out of seclusion. By then, not only will that fool be dealt with, but even that Demoness will meet her end in one strike!"
At that moment, two stragglers from their group flew over. A female Cultivator from Emei Sect asked, "Brother Chen? What happened to you all?"
Chen Yi waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back to the Outer Academy!"
In Dragon Valley, flowers bloomed in abundance as if unaffected by seasonal changes; peach blossoms, pear blossoms, begonia flowers, and plum blossoms all bloomed simultaneously. Li Xiaonan felt an inexplicable eeriness about this valley.
His gaze remained fixed on Ling Kui as he silently mused: This woman is beautiful but too cold; she seems unapproachable and lacks any warmth. She might be even colder than Chang'e from legends who resides on the moon.
He thought to himself and shivered.
Ling Kui leaped onto a stone platform, and a piece of paper fluttered from her hand into Li Xiaonan's grasp. She said coldly, "Gather these herbs before dark, or I will kill you."
Li Xiaonan grinned foolishly at the paper in his hand, unsure of what this Demoness was up to.
Ling Kui pointed towards the east and said, "The herb field is over there. If I catch you stealing other spirit herbs or damaging them, I will take your life immediately!"
Li Xiaonan continued to smile as he walked in the direction she indicated.
Ling Kui was taken aback, thinking: Could this person really be a fool?
As soon as Li Xiaonan was out of Ling Kui's sight, he quickly swallowed a Lingxiao Pill. The abundant True Essence Power nourished his dim Golden Core, repairing his Meridian. Although the process was slow, it was at least moving in a positive direction.
He cursed himself for being foolish; how could he forget to take the pills during the fight earlier? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed! It was clear that he lacked combat experience; this journey had indeed been fruitful. Aside from that egg, he had gained fighting experience and, if he were to stretch it a bit, encountered an absolutely stunning beauty. Although so far, this woman was difficult to deal with.
He committed Ling Kui's herbal diagram to memory and carefully began to pick herbs in the field. By the time he gathered all the herbs and hurried back to the stone platform where Ling Kui was waiting, night had fallen.
Under the moonlight, Ling Kui appeared ethereal in her green robe. Her delicate face softened by the moonlight seemed even more beautiful. Li Xiaonan thought to himself: She looks so lovely when she's quiet!
Suddenly, Ling Kui opened her eyes wide, and a whip appeared in her hand. She lashed it down near Li Xiaonan's feet and exclaimed, "You're too slow!"
Li Xiaonan was startled, his innocent eyes wide with fear as he looked at Ling Kui like a timid deer.
Ling Kui frowned slightly and said coldly, "Take off your clothes!"
Li Xiaonan hesitated but complied obediently. The numerous wounds on his body had scabbed over and stuck to his clothing; any movement caused him immense pain. He let out a muffled groan as he removed his clothes.
Ling Kui looked at him under the moonlight and saw that he was handsome with a resolute expression. His figure wasn't particularly robust but had clear lines; his muscles were well-defined and strong. However, his fair skin was marred by shocking scars. Her face flushed slightly as she quickly turned away, no longer looking at Li Xiaonan.
She said lightly, "Chew the spirit herbs into paste, drink the juice, and apply the residue to your wounds." After saying this, she closed her eyes and entered a meditative state.
Li Xiaonan was startled, but soon a clean smile appeared on his face as he gazed at the Ling Kui on the stone platform.
As the moon set and the sun rose, morning light shone upon Li Xiaonan. It must be said that the Ling Kui's spiritual herb was indeed very useful; most of his injuries had healed significantly, leaving only faint scars on some of the shallower wounds.
Li Xiaonan fastened the Heart-Guarding Mirror and put on a set of white robes. His long hair danced in the wind as his gaze turned towards the grain entrance.
For some reason, he felt an unsettling sense that this matter was not over; it seemed like merely the calm before the storm.
After a night of rest, his internal injuries had mostly healed, and the Red Bean Golden Pill in his Dantian had grown to the size of a soybean.
Li Xiaonan exclaimed, "Could it be that I need to exhaust all my True Essence Power before replenishing it to quickly increase my cultivation?"
With this thought in mind, he began to take action. Since he did not need to fight at this moment, he could only consume his True Essence Power through refining tools.
He first took out the Desert Eagle. Although this gun was excellent, it unfortunately inflicted as much damage on himself as on his enemy when used at close range. Therefore, Li Xiaonan added two defensive arrays above the Desert Eagle to stabilize its recoil.
In doing so, only a small portion of his True Essence Power was consumed. He then took out the remnants of the Carefree Fan. Although this spiritual weapon was completely ruined, it had been crafted by his Maiden, and he couldn't bring himself to throw it away. Instead, he refined it and integrated it into a new Carefree Fan.
The Ling Kui also awakened from its meditation and silently watched Li Xiaonan.
