33 Unexpected Reversals (1/2)
The Joyful Goddess grasped her abdomen painfully as she broke into a cold sweat as her blood dripped to the ground.
Yi Ping was startled, ”You are injured?”
The Joyful Goddess nodded, ”That old man is craftier than I have expected. During our clash, he actually had another concealed sword around his waist. In my moment of carelessness, I was slashed by him. It seems that I am out of practice for a long time.”
Yi Ping said weakly, ”Should we take a rest first? Your wounds are still bleeding…”
The Joyful Goddess smiled weakly, ”No need. I am wounded by his sword energy and for the time being, the wound cannot be healed. You better worry for yourself first. Your bleeding is more excessive than mine.”
Even though she was saying so, she had already dropped her long scythe and Yi Ping onto the ground as she collapsed on the ground!
Yi Ping endured his agonizing injuries as he shouted, ”Maiden, are you alright!?”
The Joyful Goddess said weakly, ”You…are not afraid of me?”
Yi Ping was startled, ”Why should I?”
The Joyful Goddess said, ”If you are smart enough, you should have run away now lest I decide to kill you.”
She added weakly as she looked into Yi Ping's eyes for a reaction, ”Most would have run away from my sight. My red eyes and my silvery white hair, don't I look like a monster, a demoness?”
Except for her silvery long hair and her red eyes, even the blind could see that she was a very beautiful maiden. No matter how Yi Ping had looked at her, she did not look like a monster at all. When he had first seen her with her long red dress and long black scythe, she did look terrifying at first sight.
Yi Ping shook his head weakly, ”I only know that you have saved my life and you are injured now. No matter the reason, I shouldn't leave you alone.”
The Joyful Goddess turned her face away as she said, ”How do you know that…I didn't save you only to kill you later?”
Yi Ping said awkwardly, ”If it is for later, then I will think of it later.”
The Joyful Goddess got up slightly as she breathed gently on him, ”I can tell you. I am indeed a demoness and I have to feast on human blood.”
She looked intently at Yi Ping as she begun to lick him on his wounds.
Yi Ping was startled as he said, ”You really are a blood drinker?”
The Joyful Goddess smiled weakly, ”So you are…afraid now?”
Yi Ping said weakly, ”If my blood can help you, by all means take it…”
The Joyful Goddess looked at him, with her eyes beaming. ”My name is Huan Le. You can also call me Lele.”
Yi Ping said, ”My name is Yi Ping…”
She put her fingers on his mouth as she said softly, ”I know…”
Earlier…
She had been eavesdropping in the vicinity when she had heard Shui Yujian said melancholy to Ji Lingfeng, ”You know that our mission is to protect our Master from harm. We cannot allow him to go there alone even if it meant certain death.”
Shui Meijian nodded silently.
Ji Lingfeng immediately rebuked them, ”You can sense that person's killing malevolent intent? If you are afraid now, how do you fight him when you are there? You will only be courting your own death.”
Nangong Le mused, ”I don't think anyone can even have a chance against his state of divinity. Just now, I was so frigging terrified. That Yuan Shao is even older than the Celestial Fairy. He is in the super league in the likes of the Celestial Fairy, Xiao Shuai, Gongsun Bai, Gu Tianle and the Old Sword Saint.”

Shui Yujian immediately asked, ”Sister Lingfeng, what do we do now?”
Ji Lingfeng said, ”Wait for me at the seven mile pavilion. There is only one person that can save Yi Ping and that is the Celestial Envoy.”
Gongsun Jing was startled, ”She is here?”
