Chapter 209 (1/2)

The reason why he said to keep it short was that he still had other things needed to be prepared.

The night of the camp was the same as every other place he had been to. There were no stars or moon in the sky, it was dark and quiet as usual. The only difference was that the camp was surrounded by a strange “coo… coo…” sound.

The temperature was still very low outside the shed, there were snow flurries falling from the dark sky from time to time. The roof of the sheds and the top of the spore plants that were surrounding the camp were already covered with a thin layer of snow, perhaps it had been snowing for some time now.

If Chu Yunsheng had to mention one benefit that dark blood age has brought to earth, it would probably be the fresh air.

Of course, not counting the spores miasma.

Zhang Hu couldn’t stand outside for long because of the freezing temperature, so once he got the meat from Edgar, he quickly moved back to the shed.

Looking at his s.h.i.+vering body, Chu Yunsheng shook his head. Although he promised that he would save his mistress, he did not think the girl could survive in an isolated room for such a long time. Even though the food might be enough, the mental torture was much deadlier.

“Mr. Lennon, thank you for saving me,” Jing Mouyou’s voice was low and tender.

“You don’t need to thank me, you saved my man as well,” Chu Yunsheng said. What he said was true, the girl almost lost her life to save Edgar, but compared to her, Chu Yunsheng didn’t lose anything.

“My ability is still very weak, otherwise, many people would have survived. Also, thank you for the vitamin C, my mom…” she said. She was bowing her head down while she was talking, it seemed like she had very low self-esteem.

The girl was probably thinking too much about what Chu Yunsheng had told her, but Chu Yunsheng didn’t have time to listen to what she wanted to say.

All Chu Yunsheng could think of was probably that the girl felt embarra.s.sed to ask the question, so she was trying to wait until she felt less embarra.s.sed and then ask.

But who knows when that would be, so he immediately stopped her, “your name is Xiao Jing, right? I know why you are here.”

“You… you know? You will…” Jing Mouyou instantly raised her head and looked at Chu Yunsheng in surprise.

Chu Yunsheng interrupted her again, “I know! The method I used was different from a wood elemental dark… oh… I should say different from other a Skywalker’s… there was just a small accident, so your clothes and the quilt were destroyed by my energy, there was nothing like what they said. So you don’t need to worry. Originally, I didn’t want to explain this… but since you are here… Anyway, you are a good girl, but it is not good for both of us if you are still demanding an answer!”

Jing Mouyou was dazed for a second, then her fair-skinned ears instantly turned red, she did not expect Chu Yunsheng to say that thing this bluntly. But this was not what she was here for, so she immediately explained, “I trust you, Mr. Lennon, and I did not think that way…. I am here for another thing.”

“Other thing?” Chu Yunsheng was confused.

“I… I… Mr. Lennon could you teach me how to cure the poison?” She felt very embarra.s.sed to ask.

Chu Yunsheng frowned, and just when he was about to refuse, Jing Mouyou begged nervously again, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lennon, I know I have asked too much from you, please don’t get mad.”

The reason why she was so nervous was that the people in the camp had already told her what happened in the secret pa.s.sage and how powerful this man was. She didn’t want to make him angry because she knew that the consequences would be deadly.

Chu Yunsheng shook his head, “it’s not that I don’t want to teach you, it’s that you won’t be able to use it. You and the old man both should focus on your own abilities and forget about this.”

The reason why he deliberately mentioned both was because he wanted to tell her that he had already rejected the old man once.

A glimmer of hope slowly faded away in her eyes when Chu Yunsheng rejected her. However Chu Yunsheng didn’t seem to be angry, so she was also relieved.

Chu Yunsheng closed the map and put it back into his cotton coat then turned around to Edgar, “Edgar, let’s go!”

Suddenly, he smelled a hint of fragrance when he pa.s.sed by Jing Mouyou. The smell which had a trace of wood elemental energy flew into his lung and followed the path his Rong Yuan cells travelled, then quickly got into one of the talismans he made. It happened within a split second, and when Chu Yunsheng tried to sense it again, it had already disappeared.
