Chapter 596 – I Will Fight This Battle for Him (III) (2/2)

Xu Yourong's palm slowly moved and the clear light followed, slowly wrapping Chen Changsheng's body within, not leaving the smallest gap.

This sort of skill required an extremely firm control and an extremely composed, stable and powerful spiritual sense. Very few people in the world could accomplish it.

Xu Yourong's Dao heart was brightly lit, yet after displaying this Sacred Light technique, even her face paled significantly.

The faint layer of pink on Chen Changsheng's body grew even fainter after being wrapped in that thin layer of Sacred Light.

Even if the scent of his true blood exuded from his pores, it would still be completely isolated by the Sacred Light.

Upon confirming that the problem had been momentarily resolved, Xu Yourong's expression finally relaxed.

The wind off the lake blew in from the window, tousling the hair on her temples, causing it to catch on the fragrant sweat on her powdered cheeks. She looked very beautiful.

With the gusting of the wind in Mount Han, the clouds in the night sky instantly dispersed. Silver light descended and the pine forest became a sea of silver, a beautiful sight.

Perhaps because they had smelled something or were frightened by the sudden descent of the starlight, the beasts in the mountain forests howled to the sky of multitudinous stars with unease.

Deep within the silver sea of pines arose a rustling sound.

The tree leaves were numerous, obscuring the majority of this thing's body, but the lines that were visible were extremely graceful. Moreover, when suffused by the silver starlight, they seemed exceptionally pure and holy.

An eye appeared amongst the dense leaves, brimming with intelligence and serenity. But when this eye turned to the house by the lake, it revealed a tinge of frustration.

It had clearly smelled that scent, been willing to travel a thousand li, disregarded those repulsive straight-backed monkeys on the lake shore…so why had that scent disappeared?

After a long time passed, it finally gave up and turned back into the sea of pines, borrowing the trees to completely hide its tracks and body.

In the sky filled with starlight, only a silver-colored horn could be faintly seen bobbing in and out of the leaves.

The beasts of Mount Han, due to some indescribable agitation, howled towards the starry sky.

The fish within the Heaven Lake were also taken by an indescribable excitement, swimming back and forth in the waters by the house.

Several hundred small black fish surrounded the date pit in the fine sand of the shallows, incessantly pecking at it, even kissing it, pushing that date pit farther and farther away until it vanished into the depths of the lake.

Xu Yourong took out the cloth bag from her sleeve, took a candied date and threw it into her mouth, and began to suck on it.

Very sweet.

At these moments, sugar could assist one in calming the mind. And she liked eating sweet things. The first time she was brought to Holy Maiden Peak, she had still been very small. When her teacher the Holy Maiden had asked her how one could maintain the unity of the Dao heart, she looked behind her teacher at the box of candied dates on the table and twisted her small body as she shyly answered, ”Only candied dates can.”

When she thought of her childhood as she sucked on the candied date, she began to laugh.

Then she also remembered that a few nights ago, she was sitting next to Chen Changsheng on the lake shore and had also been eating a candied date, but how had she been able to safeguard her Dao heart…her mind became a tad disordered.

But it was still very sweet.

She turned to Chen Changsheng on the couch, thinking, although he's not as handsome as Senior Brother, he's still rather handsome. I can look at him, and he has more of a lingering charm.

Though asleep, Chen Changsheng still pursed his lips and creased his brow, seeming to be in deep pain.

Xu Yourong caressed his forehead. Her fingertip fell on his lips, lightly pricking it like a dragonfly before returning.

”I will not let you die,” she said to him.

Because she was sucking on the candied date, her voice was somewhat indistinct, yet extremely clear.

By blocking off the scent of Chen Changsheng's blood, she had only addressed the first problem. Next, she would have to resolve an even more troublesome problem.

If he continued to lose blood in this way, even if the blood was being lost in his internal organs, he would still die from excessive blood loss.

How to staunch the bleeding? This was a very troublesome problem, as his body could no longer bear the Sacred Light technique.

And even if the bleeding were staunched, how to supplement his blood? This was also a very troublesome problem. He had clearly lost too much blood, so the mechanisms of his body could not be counted on to replenish his blood.

Any other person would be powerless to resolve these problems. Just as the Elder of Heavenly Secrets had said, and just as what was faintly expressed in Guan Bai's strike, the Heavenly Dao could not be defied.

In the end, could the Heavenly Dao really not be defied?

Xu Yourong wished to fight a battle against the Heavenly Dao, just like she had blocked that sword for him.

She had faith.

Because he had taught her when he had saved her back then.

She took out the Tong Bow and then directed the forefinger of her right hand to lightly scratch the wrist of her left.

A line of blood appeared on her jade-like wrist and then gradually began to expand, spilling out more and more blood.

The true blood of the Heavenly Phoenix blazed when struck by the wind, emitting countless rays of light, illuminating her appearance clearly, a beauty beyond compare.
