As soon as Bei Ming Haotian stepped out of the woods, he heard Nangong Ziyan crying for help. Without thinking twice, he turned around and flew towards the source of the sound.
Baili Yuechan watched Bei Minghaotian's retreating figure and smiled darkly. She was determined to have this man. The rumors were all false; he was not a monster, but a god. However, she had more important things to do now. They would meet again in a few days.
"Pack your things, let's go." At this moment, Baili Yuechan didn't care about eating anymore. Before Dongfang Yifei went far, she wanted to quickly find out what happened sixteen years ago. It was rumored that Dongfang Yifei and his mother were the ones who witnessed the changes on the entire border of the South China Sea. To find the answer, she could only rely on Dongfang Yifei. She had no way to find out before, but what happened tonight gave her an idea.
"Yan'er, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
As soon as Bei Ming Haotian found Nangong Ziyan, he nervously pulled her aside and asked her questions.
"Haotian, don't be nervous, Yan'er is fine, it's him who's in trouble." Nangong Ziyan pointed to the man on the ground.
Bei Ming Haotian then noticed the man lying on the ground. His eyes narrowed, a hint of doubt flashing across them, but his expression remained indifferent. As long as Yan'er was alright, the lives of others were none of his concern.
"Haotian, we have to get him out of here. He's badly injured."
Bei Ming Haotian squinted at the man on the ground, his face filled with disgust as he looked at the bloodstains on the man's body.
The man also sized up Bei Ming Haotian. This man's cultivation was extremely high; even he couldn't detect what level he had reached. It seemed that this man was no ordinary person.
"Why should we save him? Yan'er, do you know him?" Bei Ming Haotian was somewhat displeased. No one in this world has good intentions. Everyone has different thoughts. You save his life today, but tomorrow he could turn around and kill you.
"Haotian, we didn't know each other before, but we do now! Stop dawdling, he'll bleed to death. Let's help him out together."
Nangong Ziyan could see Beiming Haotian's hesitation, but what could she do? She couldn't just stand by and watch him die!
"Don't move, I'll get him out of here." How could Bei Ming Haotian allow her to touch other men?
"Oh!" Nangong Ziyan felt that she didn't have the strength to move even if she wanted to.
Bei Ming Haotian quickly carried the man out and put him on the ground.
Nangong Ziyan quickly took out her medicine box and took a closer look. She realized that the man's injuries were not caused by a magical beast, but by a sword. Moreover, the man was extremely handsome, with stunningly perfect features. He had a minor injury on his face, but it did not affect his beauty.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Ziyan and Beiming Haotian both had a hint of doubt in their eyes, and they began to suspect the man's identity.
However, Nangong Ziyan didn't think much of it. She only cared about saving the man. As the saying goes, one should be tactful and resourceful in all things. She tried to sense things carefully and didn't feel that the man had any ill intentions. Nangong Ziyan quickly started cleaning the wound, stitching it up, and applying medicine. She did it very skillfully. After finishing everything, Nangong Ziyan gave the man a quick-healing potion.
"My name is Jun Ao. Thank you for saving my life, young lady and young master." After taking Nangong Ziyan's potion, the man's strength recovered a lot. He looked at Nangong Ziyan with some surprise. He did not expect that she was a Heavenly Realm Alchemist despite her low cultivation level. It was truly rare to see someone so young.
"It was nothing, no need to thank me! I'll go cook you some porridge to replenish your energy. If you're tired, you can rest for a while." Nangong Ziyan quickly packed up her medicine box and looked up.
"Thank you for your kindness, young lady." Baili Jun'ao rubbed his stomach. He had been traveling for a day and a night without eating or drinking anything, and he was indeed quite hungry.
"Hey! Haotian, where did Baili Yuechan go?"
"If you don't know, how would I know?" Bei Ming Haotian's tone was somewhat sharp. It was better if she left, so she wouldn't be in his way. However, he was feeling quite uncomfortable. She actually had to cook porridge for this complete stranger. Bei Ming Haotian was extremely jealous. A man who had eaten her cooking would probably remember her for the rest of his life!
"Hmm!" Nangong Ziyan looked at Beiming Haotian strangely. What's wrong? What's he angry about this time?
"Haotian! Do you want some? How about we have it as a midnight snack? I have some soaked rice, it'll be ready soon," Nangong Ziyan said ingratiatingly. For some reason, seeing him unhappy affected her mood.
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Bei Ming Haotian's deep eyes. "Eat? Of course I'll eat. I was interrupted after only eating half of it, and I'm really hungry now."
"Alright, you look after that young master, Ziyan will be done in a bit." Nangong Ziyan smiled sweetly and turned to get busy.
Bei Ming Haotian gave a wicked smile. He had never taken care of anyone before. Those he had taken care of all went to hell.
Upon hearing Baili Yuechan's name, a flash of disgust crossed Baili Jun'ao's eyes. He hadn't expected her to come to the Netherworld Continent. Without a doubt, she must also be here because of the Grand Preceptor's prophecy.
Bei Ming Haotian lowered his eyes, looking at Baili Jun'ao who was deep in thought. A sharp glint flashed in his deep eyes as he said indifferently, "You should be able to walk by tomorrow morning. Be considerate and leave on your own." Bei Ming Haotian's words carried a warning. If it were Yan'er, she would definitely be kind enough to wait until he recovered before letting him leave. He didn't want anyone to interfere with them.
Baili Jun'ao suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Bei Minghaotian. This was clearly a sign of jealousy. Was he worried that he would steal that girl away?
"Instead of worrying so much, why not let that girl know your feelings sooner, or win her heart sooner? That way you won't have to worry about anything," Baili Jun'ao said with a smile, his lips curving into a bright smile, though his injured face prevented him from fully showing his handsome features.
Upon hearing this, Bei Ming Haotian stared at Baili Jun'ao in shock. How could he have seen through his thoughts so easily, and...?
"Since you know, then leave on your own." Bei Ming Haotian was as stubborn as a child; he didn't like others following him and Yan'er.
Baili Jun'ao smiled and pretended not to hear. Currently, he was being hunted down by people everywhere, and he was also injured. He would not leave for the time being unless he could reunite with his subordinates as soon as possible.
