706 Can’t Afford To Offend (1/2)

Still within the abyss, Gong Xinran sat beside a small lake, her chest rising up and down in a rhythmic fashion.

Dead people didn't breathe, what she was swallowing and spitting was the Death Energy as well as Spiritual Energy from Heaven and Earth.

Beneath the abyss, there was no day. During the Cloud Desolate Era it was also infected by Alien Region Demons and as such poison spread everywhere.

There were many beasts who survived here, but still there were things that died at every moment.

This was why the poisonous mist accumulated huge amounts of Death Energy.

Half a day to adjust her breathing with no interruption not only allowed her to recover all her injuries but also her Death Energy.

She was not as strong as during her peak, but she could just barely fight against Zong Shou once more. It wasn't like before when she had no way to fight back.

She looked curiously into the distance.

That person really didn't chase her anymore. In just a few hours she would be dead, but he gave up.

Was it because of his relationship with her when she was alive? It didn't look like it...

Gong Xinran shook her head. That person was totally different from the Junior Brother in her memory. He was decisive and when he attacked her he didn't hesitate at all. Why would he show mercy?

Just as she thought about it, two Yin Flames suddenly floated up from below.

It was Lianer and Gu Mie. Lianer's body was already recovered, but his face didn't look that good. It was ashen white, but now it seemed to have a defeated expression.

Gu Mie could also walk around himself and his eyes were flickering with uncertainty.

”It was really dangerous this time, we nearly lost our lives.”

The moment Lianer appeared, he patted his chest, expressing his fear.

From his eyes, he appeared terrified. Although dead beings like them were considered immortal to a certain extent, their souls were already repelled by death and they had no way to revive. If they died, they would really die and their soul would dissipate.

”I really didn't expect that the Cloud World would have such a strong person. Lightning Techniques at such a high level, first in the Sword Path, what a monster. The so-called Experts hundreds of years ago can't even compare to one of his fingers. I really underestimated the Juniors, what a total loss of face...”

Following this, he looked nervously over at Gong Xinran, ”Your Highness, it isn't that I didn't put in the effort, but that I really wasn't able to help.”

This was the truth and wasn't fake at all. He wanted to help her along the way, but without exception, Zong Shou forced him back with a sword. There were even two times when he was nearly slain by him.

He felt totally at ease with himself hesitating that day in front of the Death Gate. Even if he helped that day, the outcome wouldn't have changed. After saving his strength, he even obtained a living chance for Gong Xinran...

Gong Xinran didn't care much, turning around and looking at Gu Mie.

”Brother Gu is your soul injury much of a problem?”

”Within 30 days, I should be able to recover to 70%. However, to fully heal, it would take several years.”

The Yin Flame in his eyes flashed as he replied in a grateful manner. He spoke in an embarrassed manner, shifting his head away, ”Princess, I think it is best if we wrap around Donglin first.”
