The gray smoke vanished from sight in an instant, disappearing into the soul.

The two souls were instantly connected.

"What's this?"

Ji Jiuying felt that the gray smoke wasn't binding her hands, but her soul.

"This is called the 'Tether of Love,' a 'Tether of Love' that nothing can sever. From now on, I will know where Jiu'er is by using my soul power, and Jiu'er will also be able to sense where I am by using her soul power."

There was one more thing that Gong Mingyue didn't say: as long as their souls are immortal, they will be able to sense each other for all eternity.

Ji Jiuying closed her eyes and sensed it; it was indeed as he had said.

"Ah Yue, thank you."

Ji Jiuying hugged Gong Mingyue. He had disappeared early in the morning to find this thing for her, and she knew that the main reason was because of the Moon Candle incident.

That's good. With the bond of love, she can know where A-Yue is immediately.

"Let's go find Ah Xiu too."

——

In the unnamed mountains.

The waterfall is magnificent and spectacular, and in front of it lies the back mountain of Lingyin Temple on Guishanling.

Jin Chenzi sat on the lotus platform, his eyes closed, his palms clasped together in front of his chest.

He had a well-defined face with a high nose bridge. His bright yellow robe was trimmed with shimmering gold, which shone brightly in the blazing sun. He exuded a cool glow, making the surrounding scenery seem dim.

A soft moan broke the silence.

Not far away, on a bed, lay an unconscious woman, and the whimpering sounds were coming from her.

Jin Chenzi was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowed slightly, and his icy eyes slowly opened.

He looked at the woman who was sleeping unconscious not far away.

People I thought I would never see again in this lifetime actually met again in this way.

Two days ago, he saved her from the waterfall. She fell from a waterfall three thousand feet high, her internal organs were displaced, her bones were almost shattered, and she had many other injuries. There was no chance of her surviving, but she survived.

What exactly did she go through?

"Hmm~"

A mouthful of blood flowed from Wen Longxiu's mouth. Jin Chenzi frowned slightly and quickly stepped forward to clean the blood from her mouth with a handkerchief he had prepared beforehand.

At this moment, the surroundings became quiet again. Jin Chenzi stared expressionlessly at the unconscious Wen Longxiu. Wen Longxiu seemed to be dreaming about something, her tightly furrowed brows like clouds, which aroused pity.

puff!

Jin Chenzi's face, which he had just cleaned, was once again stained red with the blood vomited by Wen Longxiu. He continued to wipe it expressionlessly, as if he was gradually getting used to it.

This mountain is a forbidden area of ​​Lingyin Temple. No one except him usually comes here. The woman slowly healed her internal injuries with his medicine. She often vomited blood, and he could not leave her side for even a moment. He thought about sending her home, but she had broken bones all over her body and could not move at all.

He didn't even know her surname; back in Longtoushan, he only heard others call her Ah Xiu.

Two more days have passed without us even realizing it.

The outside world has been turned upside down, but the back mountain remains as peaceful as ever.

The person on the bed trembled slightly with their fingers, and Jin Chenzi, who was meditating not far away, frowned slightly with his eyes closed.

Wen Longxiu slowly opened her eyes, and at the same time, Jin Chenzi's cold eyes opened solemnly.

Wen Longxiu weakly surveyed her unfamiliar surroundings. Where was she? Was she dead or alive?

Why is she in so much pain?

A yellow cassock came into Wen Longxiu's view. She tilted her head, and her vision began to clear.

It's him!

That monk, he's the one who saved her!

"It's you... um~"

The blood welling up in her throat interrupted her from saying what she was about to say.

Jin Chenzi skillfully cleaned up the blood she had vomited. Wen Longxiu felt somewhat uncomfortable, but was powerless to do anything about it.

"Speak less, benefactor. Almost all the bones in your body are broken, and your internal organs are almost displaced. It's normal for you to vomit blood. Vomit all the blood out, and you will feel much better."

Jin Chenzi wiped the blood off her face while explaining.

Wen Longxiu's eyes flickered slightly. No wonder she was in so much pain all over her body and couldn't exert any strength. She had been awakened by the pain and could clearly feel that the medicine the monk had given her was not very effective. She closed her eyes and used her remaining spiritual power to take out the pills from her storage ring.

The medicine in the space was given to her by Xiao Jiu for self-defense. Wen Longxiu dared not speak anymore. Every time she tried to open her mouth, she felt like she was going to vomit blood. She could only look at Jin Chenzi with her eyes.

Jin Chenzi noticed that she had several bottles of pills in her hand, and then looked at her staring straight at him, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Does the benefactor wish to consume the pill in your hand?"

Wen Longxiu blinked. Jin Chenzi picked up the three bottles of pills in her hand and poured out one pill from each bottle. A rich aroma of pills wafted out. Pain-relieving pills, body-restoring pills, and bone-regenerating and blood-dissolving pills were all Heaven-grade pills, and of full purity. An imperceptible look of surprise flashed in Jin Chenzi's eyes.

Jin Chenzi glanced at Wen Longxiu, his voice clear and melodious like a mountain spring, and as cold as striking jade, "Open your mouth."

Wen Longxiu's face flushed slightly, showing a hint of inexplicable restraint; her slightly parted lips trembled.

Jin Chenzi placed the pill in her mouth, his fingertips inadvertently touching her lips.

The two of them froze at the same time, as if time had stood still in that instant.

My heart felt like a stone had been dropped into a calm lake, creating ripples...

Jin Chenzi's ears turned red and hot. Coming to his senses, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes. He quickly stood up and placed his hands on his chest. "Benefactor, this humble monk had no intention of offending you. I hope you will not take it to heart."

Wen Longxiu blushed and ignored him, turning her head to the other side instead.

Recalling his unreasonable behavior on Dragon Head Mountain, Wen Longxiu frowned slightly. This stinky monk, was he doing it on purpose?

Glug~ Glug~

Wen Longxiu bit her lower lip, closed her eyes, and wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it right away.

I've never been so embarrassed in my life. At this moment, I feel like I want to die!

The atmosphere was incredibly tense.

Hearing the footsteps fade away, Wen Longxiu slowly opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. Now, she had only one thought in her mind: to recover her body as quickly as possible and get away from this place.

The footsteps that had been fading away gradually became clearer.

Jin Chenzi walked over carrying a bowl of steaming hot porridge and silently placed it on Wen Longxiu's pillow.

Xiao Jiu's pills were indeed quite effective; she could no longer feel the pain, and after the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, she could barely move her hand.

Wen Longxiu tried to get up, but she had no strength at all.

hiss!

The injury was also aggravated, and Wen Longxiu couldn't help but let out a roar.

Seeing this, Jin Chenzi pursed his thin lips and frowned slightly. He had no choice but to step forward and pick up the bowl. "Please lie down and rest, benefactor!"
