AST 1561 - Yiye Jiange was the Palace Mistress of Sea King Palace? Wound (1/2)

“Are you hurt?” Qing Shui asked intentionally even though he already knew the answer. He was grabbing her cold hand which was as smooth as jade. The comfort he felt while doing so was something which words couldn’t describe. But now, he knew that treating her wounds would come as one of his priorities. Even if the purpose of curing her was just to look for Yiye Jiange, he must help bring her back to health.

“Yes, I am afraid I might not be able to send you there.” The woman sounded sad when she answered. It was unclear if she was feeling sad for herself or Qing Shui.

Qing Shui felt really weird. Why would a woman think about such a thing at this moment? The woman’s aura was also disordered in a very strange way. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said such a thing.

“Do not worry, for I am a gifted physician. As long as it’s someone whom I have taken a fancy to, not even the God of Death can take them away from me.” Qing Shui said with a smile. As he was saying so, he transferred a wave of Nature Energy into her body.

Qing Shui’s sentence somehow sounded a bit faulty. The woman was wearing a conical hat, and Qing Shui didn’t overthink his words. The woman had also forgotten about other things for now. At this kind of crucial moment, everything else would seem unimportant.

“Thank you for your good intentions, but I am well aware of my own conditions. There is no hope left for me.” The woman let out a sigh and said in a certain tone.

“How would you know before you even try?”

Qing Shui pulled her and led her to his own room. The spot where they were at was actually close to it. It was almost as if he was half-carrying the woman into his room.

The woman didn’t resist. While he was carrying her, Qing Shui had already managed to find out the reasons behind her disordered aura. A certain warrior had struck her with two waves of cold and violent aura.

Qing Shui wasn’t sure if the attack was from a warrior or a demonic beast. Nevertheless, it wasn’t important. The priority for him was to force out the aura in her.

Qing Shui was slowly reaching towards the aura with his Nature Energy. However, the aura didn’t give his Nature Energy the slightest chance for interaction. There were thousands of paths which the meridians could take within a human body. As long as the aura intended to avoid a certain energy, it could do so with ease.

But for Qing Shui, it wasn’t a difficult task to search for it. In the past, he had helped other people with similar treatments. Only the case of this woman proved to be a bit unique. It might be slightly harder than the cases he had dealt with before.

Qing Shui used his Nature Energy to prevent the intrusion of the aura into her mind, dantian and other important spots. Once they intruded her brain, things would become quite a handful.

The woman’s body was getting colder and colder. At the moment, both of Qing Shui’s hands were like two popsicles.

The woman seemed to be slowly losing her consciousness. Suddenly, she embraced Qing Shui tightly with both her hands and said, “Cold… I don’t feel so well…”

Even Qing Shui, who was supposed to have a tough physique, also felt the coldness. Though the body in his arms might be detailed and fine, it was cold to the point that it could hardly cause him to come up with any bad intentions. What he was going through now felt just the same as embracing the ice sculpture of a beautiful woman in the winter.

The Nature Energy and Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique within Qing Shui were revolving at a fast speed. They had managed to cancel out the coldness within her body. But as soon as this was achieved, Qing Shui felt a certain reaction in his body.

Suddenly, the thought that this woman was most likely related to Yiye Jiange came to mind. He then carried on and started wondering whether she was a human or someone of the Aquatics? Thinking up to this point, almost half of the fiery spirit within Qing Shui’s heart subsided. Besides, taking advantage of other people’s perilous states wasn’t his favorite thing to do.

The woman embraced Qing Shui and snuggled up within Qing Shui’s chest as much as she could. However, Qing Shui could feel that at this moment, her eyes seemed to have become a bit clearer. Although her face might be separated by the conical hat, Qing Shui was still able to see her eyes.

“Don’t be scared, everything will be fine soon.” Qing Shui comforted her.

The woman suddenly took out a token and gave it to Qing Shui, “Take this. This token will give you instructions on how to head into Ice Ocean Domain’s Ocean God Palace. In there, you will get to meet your wife. Tell her to protect the Ice Ocean Domain.

Qing Shui didn’t take it, but the woman insisted on putting the token onto Qing Shui’s hand, “To me, Jiange is like my own sister. She received my mother’s inheritance. In other words, we might be even closer than blood-related sisters. Oh, and also, she is the Palace Mistress of Ice Ocean Domain’s Ocean God Palace.”

Qing Shui was stunned. To think that Yiye Jiange was now the Palace Mistress of Ocean God Palace. Qing Shui had little knowledge regarding the Aquatics. The only thing he was aware of was that the ocean in this world was as large as the space occupied by land. It might possibly be even larger than the land itself.

“There isn’t only one Ocean King Palace within the Ice Ocean Domain. There were a few Ocean King Palaces nearby that were trying to harm us. I came out this time to look for assistance. Unfortunately, I fell into the enemies’ traps. Jiange is very powerful. She has the Nine-headed Crystal Beast. If she is a bit more careful, she should be able to protect the Palace. If she is still unable to protect it with her own strength, I will let her dispatch the Ocean King Palace’s forces.” The woman was exerting a lot of effort just to speak.

“I have told you before that you will be fine.” Qing Shui could tell that the woman didn’t even have enough strength to stand. Although the body might belong to her, she wasn’t able to take control of it.

Qing Shui immediately carried her up. The woman breathed out gently, which she only did once.

Qing Shui put her down on his bed and took out the Gold Needle. But then, he remembered that he was in a hotel. If anyone were to come in and interrupt him, he would be in trouble. Qing Shui immediately moved out of the hotel while carrying her, and jumped through the window. He used his Nine Continents Step Effect and eventually came to a stop when he arrived at a mountain valley.

“What are you planning to do……?”

The woman sounded afraid.

Qing Shui smiled upon hearing what she said, “As much as you consider me a beast, I don’t have such a strong sense of taste.”

The woman heard Qing Shui’s words, but she didn’t seem to understand what he meant. She carried on and asked, “Strong sense of taste?”

“Aren’t you worried that I will do something to you? Or, are you worried that I will only lay my hands on you once you died?” Qing Shui looked around his surroundings and set up a formation.

The woman has finally understood what Qing Shui meant this time. She couldn’t help but say, “Not like you are anything good either. Why would Jiange like you?”
