“My dear wife, let’s go prepare dinner first. Black Owl is exhausted from this ordeal, and he needs to replenish both his spiritual energy and his physical strength.” Shang Xiye gently stroked Ji Fengyao’s soft hair on her forehead, his voice soft: “Didn’t you say that eating dragonfish is very beneficial for cultivators?”

Ji Fengyao nodded somewhat blankly and replied, "Yes."

So Shang Xiye took her soft little hand and walked towards the shore.

Ji Fengyao didn't say anything more, but remained silent for a while.

Ji Fengming found a huge rock near the stream.

He carefully placed Black Owl on it, supported Black Owl's unconscious body, helped Black Owl sit up cross-legged, helped him perform hand seals, and then turned around and sat down behind him.

Ji Fengming took out a large piece of moonstone and held it in his right hand, while his left hand was placed against Hei Xiao's back. He then poured all the pure spiritual energy he had drawn from the moonstone into Hei Xiao.

He had previously secured the seal for Black Owl.

He knew that when he transferred spiritual power to him, the effect of using spirit stones was far less than that of using moonstones.

He thought this might be related to the special physical condition of the Ji family.

Several more hours passed, and it was now late morning.

A small pile of white powder had already accumulated beside Ji Fengming. It was the leftover powder from the used moonstone, which accounted for almost one-fifth of all the moonstones on Ji Fengming's body.

But he didn't feel any heartache at all.

Under Ji Fengming's frantic nurturing, the injuries in Hei Xiao's body have mostly healed, except for the injury to his dantian, which is difficult to recover from in the short term.

His soul, which had been tormented by excruciating pain, had finally recovered somewhat. He gradually woke up and felt a warm, abundant spiritual energy flowing through his body.

A slightly chilly night breeze swept by.

The scent of perfume, unique to Ji Fengming's clothes, warmed Hei Xiao's bewildered heart. He swallowed hard and whispered, "Fengming, thank you."

"You're awake," Ji Fengming's clear, youthful voice said, tinged with obvious joy.

"It's nothing serious," Black Owl said, adjusting his inner energy and ending his hand seals.

Then he turned around and stared intently at the sunny boy behind him who hadn't managed to retract his hand.

“It seems that from the very beginning of our encounter, you have been saving me. It was the time when I was poisoned by the Ningxi Incense, and it was the time when I almost went into a state of demonic possession on the Tongyou River. And it has been the same many times since then, and even now.” Black Owl’s smile was bittersweet, and he thought to himself, “It seems that I am the one who owes you something, but why is it that the one who gives you warmth today is still you?”

Ji Fengming waved his hand dismissively, his smile like a ray of sunshine flowing freely in the dead of night: "Hey, we've been through life and death together... Brother, if I'm not good to you, who else would I be good to? Besides, if I were in danger, I believe you would be the first to come to my rescue, right?"

Fool!

All that you did for me, does it all not count?

You saved my life!

“…Yes,” Black Owl nodded, his eyes gleaming.

The moonlight is cold on the coast.

The clear, frosty moonlight spilled onto the calm, still sea, making it appear like a divinely bestowed mirror, a deep blue and serene beauty that was breathtaking.

Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao sat side by side on the edge of the cliff by the sea. Behind them, to the left, was a bonfire burning brightly, and to the right, a pot of dragon fish soup was simmering slowly on a simple stove.

The aroma of fish soup wafted far and wide in the quiet night.

This attracted many greedy wild beasts and ferocious monsters.

Shang Xiye unleashed his full cultivation aura, intimidating these wild beasts and ferocious creatures.

This makes them only dare to watch from afar and drool, but dare not take a single step closer.
