Chapter 138: Stolen Kiss (1/2)
Chapter 138: Stolen Kiss
In the middle of the night, as Xiao Chen sat on a tree branch; he heard some weak muttering. He slowly descended from the tree and walked to Leng Liusu’s side.
Leng Liusu’s face was very pale; her forehead was covered with sweat. She was frowning very hard, and her breathing was rapid and shallow. It was obvious she was having a bad dream and was currently under a lot of stress.
Xiao Chen stretched his hand out and placed it on her forehead. Then, he slowly sent a strand of gentle Essence into her. Because Xiao Chen cultivated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, his Essence had some of the effects of Immortal Qi.
After a while, Leng Liusu’s expression slowly became soft. Her breathing turned calm and steady, and she stopped frowning. Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief and stopped infusing Essence into her. He withdrew his hand and prepared to leave.
“Pu!”
Just as Xiao Chen pulled his hand away, Leng Liusu caught it. Her eyes were shut, and it seemed as though she was sleep talking, “Father, don’t go; don’t leave Liusu alone…”
Leng Liusu held Xiao Chen’s hand very tightly. Xiao Chen felt embarra.s.sed in his heart. He smiled bitterly and thought to himself, Sister, you recognize the wrong person. Please don’t hold me so tightly. Xiao Chen did his best to pry her hands off, but he found that if he did not use Essence, he was unable to do so.
He was afraid that he would wake her up if he used Essence. Thus, he could only slowly sit and not make any big movements. He could not even sleep or cultivate. He kept his eyes open and guarded her.
The night was very dark in the quiet forest. When he stretched his hand out, he was not able to see his fingers. Xiao Chen sat beside Leng Liusu and listened to her breathe calmly. He did not move even though he felt uncomfortable.
When it was almost day, Xiao Chen finally felt Leng Liusu loosen her grip. He quickly pulled his hand away and inspected her wound once again. He discovered there were no major problems anymore. All she needed was rest now.
Xiao Chen stood up and felt his back ache. After spending the night without sleep, he was mentally fatigued. He slapped his cheeks and looked towards the brightening eastern sky as he prepared to leave.
“You have unintentionally saved my life. Now, I have saved yours too, as well as spent a night comforting you. We should be even now.” Xiao Chen faintly smiled and said as he looked at Leng Liusu.
After he took two steps, he suddenly stopped. He felt as if he had lost out on something. He muttered to himself, “Am I considered not even comparable to beasts? After stripping a great beauty and lying beside her for a night, I did not even react at all. That can’t do.”
Xiao Chen quickly came back and looked at Leng Liusu’s pretty face. He took a deep breath and then quickly kissed her on the forehead. After that, he immediately dashed off.
The asleep Leng Liusu did not have any reaction. When the sky was bright, and the first rays of suns.h.i.+ne struck her face, she slowly woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes, feeling the sun was too bright. Leng Liusu then saw she was covered with some clothes. She revealed an expression of confusion.
“Did someone save me? Who did?” Before she fell unconscious yesterday, the last memory she had was of lightning falling from the sky. She was not aware of what happened after that.
She slowly stood up and pushed the clothes to the side. Finally, she discovered the upper part of her dress had been torn to shreds. She was revealing a significant part of her chest; she could not help but blush deeply.
However, she was surprised the wound on her chest healed within a night. It actually healed miraculously; the wound had already closed.
Although there was still some numbness, it was obvious it would no longer be a big problem. Furthermore, it was dealt with promptly; there would not be any scarring in the future.
Who in the world saved me? This person should not be from Heavenly Saber Pavilion, Leng Liusu’s mind was filled with doubt. If it were, then that person would still be by my side.
Suddenly, she thought of the dream she had last night. It felt like her late father appeared beside her. She even held his hand and told him not to leave. It felt like it was real.
Leng Liusu took out a set of clothing from her Spatial Ring. After she changed into it, she suddenly discovered the two bottle of pills. She bent over and picked them up, opening them to take a look. When she did so, a dense medicinal fragrance came out. It was obvious the rank of these Medicinal Pills was very high.
She picked up the note that introduced the pill and read it carefully. The questions she had in her heart increased. Who in the world saved me? Furthermore, he was so meticulous about it.
She walked around, searching her surroundings, but she did not find anything. She could not help but feel some regret. She lowered her head and leaned on the tree again. However, she was shocked to discover the marks of someone sitting in the spot beside her for a long time.
Heavenly Saber Pavilion was one of the three great sects of the Great Qin Nation. It had been around since the Tianwu Dynasty and had ten thousand years of acc.u.mulation. In the hearts of the people of the Great Qin Nation, they were an existence similar to the Holy Lands.
As its name implied, this was a sect that focused on the path of the saber. All the Martial Techniques, Movement Techniques, or Cultivation Methods were related to sabers. It was a holy ground for someone who cultivated the path of the saber.
The Misty Sword Sect was the same, just that it was for swords. They had always been in opposition to each other since the ancient times. Both sects erupted out in war multiple times throughout history. However, the strength of the two sects was similar; neither of them could stand ahead of the other.
However, in recent years, about twenty years ago, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion experienced a mysterious disaster. Many of the experts of the senior generation were severely injured or had perished. This resulted in their strength being decreased.
