The sound of clinking bells resounded in his ear. Every day in the last three years, he could only rely on his imagination to carry on. The beautiful crescent spring, the tinkling sound that little Miao girl always made when she walked, and her bright smile that shone like stars, but her eyes that always exuded disdain.

“Han person, what are you doing in Miao area?”

The voice that suddenly sounded was not the crisp voice in Duan Feiqing’s memory, but a little low. Obviously the tone was unpleasant, but to Duan Feiqing it was like hearing the sounds of nature. He raised his head with a little difficultly, endured the pain and smiled: “ah Heng, I have to trouble you again.”

Lu Heng found that this man was in an even more embarrassing situation than that time five years ago. His figure was gaunt and he appeared haggard. His face was pale. His complexion was white before, but previously it was as white as mutton fat jade. Now, it was like gold paper, like a devil crawling out of hell.

Duan Feiqing wanted to stand up to see if Lu Heng was as breathtaking as he remembered, but he didn’t succeed. He could only lie on the ground, and as he did so, noticed that the white calves that had always been exposed outside had been hidden under the slightly broad trouser legs, only displaying the slender ankles and the silver ornaments on them.

Duan Feiqing was then turned over. A beautiful and vivacious face appeared in his field of vision, just like this dangerous Miao jungle, gorgeous but dangerous.

Lu Heng looked at the man on the ground with frowning brows. He reached out his hand and probed his neck. His pulse was weak. He did not seem like a martial artist at all. Could it be? Lu Heng quickly moved his trembling hand to lift Duan Feiqing’s robe. Sure enough, the area around the shoulder blade was badly mutilated. This would only happen if a person was shackled with chains that pierced his shoulder blade bone for a long time. After the flesh and bone begun to merge with the iron chain, the constantly worn chain would be hastily drawn out, leading to this.

Lu Heng pinched Duan Feiqing’s pulse gate and probed into the internal force. He found that compared with the sorry outside appearance, his insides were even more miserable. It seemed that the meridians were severed by a clever method, which wasted his martial arts, but did not hurt his life. The message in sparing his life seemed to be telling him to stay put and not make any big moves.

Dragging his ragged body, he had trudged thousands of miles to the remote Miao area, which was probably the main reason why he was dying now. This man’s willpower was so strong that he didn’t know what kind of obsession motivated him to reach this crescent spring.

Seeing that Duan Feiqing’s breathing was as weak as it could be, Lu Heng turned over his hand and took out a “breath of life” Gu. He didn’t care that it took him many years to successfully refine it, and instead he directly stuffed it into Duan Feiqing’s mouth.

The “breath of life” Gu was a secret of the Five immortals cult. As soon as the “breath of life” Gu fell in, Duan Feiqing’s breathing gradually became stronger and more stable, and his face recovered a little. He was no longer pale as a dead man.

Duan Feiqing was woken up by a strange aroma. He opened his eyes and saw the Miao girl squatting in front of the stove in a very unrefined posture, focusing on the black pot on which she was cooking some unknown substance.

“Ah Heng.”

Lu Heng made a gesture to show that he couldn’t be distracted now. He kept staring at the black liquid in the pot, slowly bubbling out, sniffing repeatedly and smelling the fragrance carefully, and then he sprinkled the powder in his hand.

It’s done.

“Come here.” Lu Heng raised his chin and motioned to Duan Feiqing to sit in a cane chair beside him.

Duan Feiqing sat up subconsciously, only to find that he had been able to move as usual. Although the meridians in the body still weren’t be restored, there was no problem in moving about like ordinary people. It seemed that she had saved his life again, and Duan Feiqing smiled bitterly. I just wanted to see her for the last time, but I owe her for another life saving grace.

Lu Heng saw Duan Feiqing sitting on the bed, stupefied, and urged: “come quickly.”

When he sat down at the stone table, Lu Heng put the earthen pot on the stone table and ordered: “drink.”

Duan Feiqing picked up a spoon and began to drink the medicine without saying a word.

Lu Heng picked up his eyebrow and said, “Are you not afraid that I will poison you? No wonder every time I see you, you look like you are going to die. It’s because you are a fool.”
