“This is my own choice.” Ye Xingchen chuckled and slowly stood up. “Let’s go. It’s not safe here. They could come looking for us at any time. Give me half a day, and I’ll catch them off guard.”
“Okay, let’s find a quiet place first,” Ning Qingyan said.
"Don't move." Ye Xingchen suddenly froze, staring at Ning Qingyan's back.
Ning Qingyan froze, suddenly feeling a chill run down her spine, as if something behind her had stood up.
"Listen to me, walk over slowly." Ye Xingchen took a deep breath, gripped the Chixiao sword in his hand, and stared intently at Ning Qingyan's back.
Ning Qingyan nodded and walked forward gently. Suddenly, Ye Xingchen's pupils contracted. He rushed forward a few steps, his right hand flashing out, and the Crimson Sky Sword emitted a sword cry, slashing out behind Ning Qingyan. At the same time, he grabbed Ning Qingyan's slender waist and turned to flee.
Whoosh! A black bear stood upright and roared, striking forward with its paw.
A roar came from behind, and a black bear stood upright, slapping down with its paw.
Ye Xingchen's sword pierced the black bear's claw, and the intense pain made it extremely ferocious.
Damn, is the ecology here so well protected? There's even this thing here? Ye Xingchen gripped Chixiao with one hand and stared intently at the bear.
Ning Qingyan was still in shock. She gripped the gun tightly in her hand, her palms covered in cold sweat.
Black bears are creatures that even tigers wouldn't want to mess with in the forest. Her pistol has limited power and probably won't be able to penetrate this guy's skin.
The black bear licked the wound on its paw, sized up the two of them, and suddenly roared again, using all four limbs to pounce on them.
Ning Qingyan acted decisively, firing two shots.
The bullet only slowed the bear's movements slightly, but its attack did not diminish at all. In an instant, it was in front of the two men. In pain, it became ferocious and raised its paw to strike them.
With a roar, Ye Xingchen mustered the remaining internal energy and unleashed a three-foot-long sword beam from his Crimson Sky Sword, slashing fiercely at the black bear's head.
*Thud...* The black bear struck Ye Xingchen's shoulder with a heavy paw, and a burst of sword light erupted, sending the black bear's massive head rolling to the ground.
Ye Xingchen staggered back three steps, his shoulder throbbing with pain, while the black bear collapsed to the ground with a thud, struggling a few times before becoming still.
"How are you?" Ning Qingyan quickly supported the swaying Ye Xingchen.
"It's alright, let's go." Ye Xingchen forced himself to stay alert. The gunshots earlier had probably alerted the mercenaries searching for them, and they would find this place soon. In his current state, he probably wouldn't be able to handle them.
Ning Qingyan put his arm on her shoulder, gritted her teeth, and dragged Ye Xingchen into the deep mountains.
As darkness fell, Ning Qingyan found a safe place in the deep mountains and settled down.
There was a waterfall nearby, and a pool of water so clear you could see the bottom. She spread some leaves and grass on the edge of the pool and helped Ye Xingchen lie down.
Ye Xingchen was in a daze. The 40% of his body that had not yet healed was like a time bomb. When it flared up, his blood and qi would reverse and his true qi would become disordered. In addition, he had been shot in the shoulder and slapped by the black bear. Now his injuries were quite serious.
Ning Qingyan used leaves to fetch water for him, but Ye Xingchen was currently experiencing both ice and fire within his body, and he couldn't drink a single drop.
"Ye Xingchen." Ning Qingyan gently shook him, but his skin was burning hot to the touch; Ye Xingchen was currently feverish.
"You're such a nemesis to me. Why are you so good to me? Why did you risk your life to save me?" Ning Qingyan grabbed his hand, tears slowly falling.
"Before my mother passed away, she held my hand and told me never to fall in love with any man, because no matter who he is, if you fall in love with him, you are destined to lose everything."
"I've fallen for you, what should I do?" Ning Qingyan gently leaned against Ye Xingchen, knowing that Ye Xingchen was currently going through a life-or-death ordeal.
She looked up at Ye Xingchen, whose eyes were closed: "You said that as long as I became your woman, your illness would be cured. So today I give myself to you. No matter what the future holds, I will not regret it."
Ning Qingyan hooked her hand, and her top slowly slid down, revealing her stunning figure.
She leaned closer to Ye Xingchen and kissed him.
Heat... This was the only feeling Ye Xingchen had in his hazy consciousness. He felt like he was being burned alive, and the chaotic blood and true energy in his body made him feel like he was in unbearable pain.
Just as he was experiencing excruciating pain from being burned alive, he suddenly felt something icy cold in his arms, and his consciousness cleared for a moment.
Ning Qingyan, completely naked, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
In an instant, all reason vanished, and Ye Xingchen held her tightly, taking the initiative.
Ning Qingyan gasped softly, her alluring voice lingering for a long time.
The fighting was fierce and didn't subside until dawn.
Upon regaining consciousness, Ye Xingchen suddenly discovered that his Supreme Jade Purity Dao Scripture had broken through three realms, advancing directly from the second realm to the fifth realm.
His leukemia was completely cured, and the hidden energy in his body had been transformed into true qi. At this point, according to the martial arts classification, he had already reached the Heavenly Realm.
All of this is thanks to Ning Qingyan's destiny. She was born with a charming nature and her life palace has the number nine. In addition, the combination method of the Supreme Jade Purity Dao Scripture allowed her to break through three realms in succession.
"Awake? Are you alright?" Ning Qingyan, who was in his arms, still had a flush on her face. Having just experienced the joys of love, she looked even more charming and beautiful.
Compared to before, she looked even more radiant. Moreover, during her dual cultivation with Ye Xingchen, she benefited from the 'youth preservation' technique, and from then on, she would remain young forever. Compared to ordinary people, her aging would be extremely slow, and even when she was fifty or sixty years old, she could still maintain her current appearance.
"It's alright, why...why did you do that?" Ye Xingchen was a little embarrassed, having slept with someone while half asleep.
"You risked your life for me, you're a man I can entrust my life to." Ning Qingyan said softly, leaning against him. "I've found the man I'm willing to give my life for. My mother in heaven will bless me."
"I swear, I will protect you for the rest of my life, and no one will be allowed to bully you," Ye Xingchen said solemnly, holding her in his arms.
"Alright, let's leave here first. Last night, to escape the assassins, we went deep into the mountains." Ning Qingyan finished dressing, feeling weak in the knees. The battle last night had been too intense.
"What's wrong with you? Can't you stand?" Ye Xingchen asked knowingly.
"Isn't it all because of you?" Ning Qingyan angrily punched him. "You have no sense of chivalry at all."
"I'll take good care of you from now on," Ye Xingchen chuckled.
