After killing the male dragon, Jasmine's face suddenly turned pale. She looked back at Yun Che's position, and as her red skirt fluttered, her body turned into a beam of red light and returned to the Sky Poison Pearl.
Seeing the male dragon fall, Yun Che breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked as he ran, “Jasmine, are you okay?”
After a long while, Jasmine finally said in a hateful voice: "Humph! I owe you this in my last life!"
Although Jasmine’s words were a little weak, they were not vague, which made Yun Che feel relieved. He said apologetically, “I’m sorry to have caused you trouble again this time.”
"...There is no need to say more. If you want to save that woman, hurry up. I can't guarantee whether she has been poisoned by the male dragon. Also, don't count on me for three months."
Jasmine fell silent after she finished speaking, quietly suppressing the poison that was spreading throughout her body once again in the Sky Poison Pearl. Although this time it did not damage her soul source like the last time she killed the Flame Dragon, it was still not pleasant.
The fierce battle between a half-step Wangxuan and two peak Tianxuan had caused this area to suffer a great disaster. The ground had sunk at least three feet on average. At a glance, there was not a blade of grass left. Finally arriving at this area, Yun Che saw the figure of the little fairy. She lay there quietly, like a striking lotus on the withered yellow land.
"Little fairy!"
Yun Che’s heart leapt, and he quickly rushed forward. When he arrived in front of her, he was stunned for a moment.
The white dress she was wearing was already badly torn, but under the protection of the remaining icy aura, it was still spotless. The veil that had been covering her face had fallen off at some point, allowing Yun Che to finally see her snow-white face clearly.
Just as Yun Che had expected, this was a very beautiful face. Her facial features were exquisite, her eyebrows were thin and black, and her skin was as white as pearls. Although her face and lips were as pale as paper, they still couldn't hide the coldness and dignity that came from her bones. She was so detached that when people faced her, they almost didn't dare to have a blasphemous heart, and could only feel ashamed of themselves.
Yun Che's daze lasted only a moment, and he immediately squatted down and stretched out his hand to press on her snow-white neck. The moment his fingers touched her skin, she trembled slightly, because her body temperature at this moment was frighteningly cold, as if she had just been soaked in an ice spring.
"Don't... touch me..." Feeling Yun Che's touch on her neck, the little fairy struggled weakly, her voice was weak, but she was extremely determined. Although she was seriously injured and dying, her body's rejection of men was deep in her bones, almost like a conditioned reflex. On her pale face, the coldness that kept people at a distance did not diminish in the slightest.
“Okay, I won’t touch you… I won’t touch you.” Yun Che quickly withdrew his hand, but his heart sank.
The inspection just now made him feel shocked. What Jasmine said was not an exaggeration... No, it was even more serious than what Jasmine said. Her Profound Veins were completely destroyed, just like the broken ice crystals, which were even more completely destroyed than his disabled Profound Veins at the beginning, and it was impossible to repair them. If there must be another way, it would be to rebuild a Profound Vein like he did at the beginning... But Yun Che was the first person in the history of the Profound Sky Continent to have such an opportunity, and it was simply a matter of chance. Moreover, even if he really encountered it and had a new Profound Vein, his Profound Strength could only start over from the Elementary Profound Realm.
Not only were her Xuanmai shattered, but her meridians were almost all broken as well. At this point, the little fairy was almost completely paralyzed except for her remaining consciousness. Except for her right arm and right hand, which had only half of their meridians broken and could still move, the rest of her body was simply impossible to move.
What a terrifying power it must be to freeze a peak Tianxuan dragon into a silent ice sculpture in a few breaths. And the price of exerting such power is also extremely cruel.
With such an injury, even Yun Che, who often regarded himself as a miracle doctor, could only feel a deep sense of powerlessness. He was confident that he could save her life, but it was impossible to restore her profound veins, let alone her strength.
Besides that, Yun Che also sensed a heavy aura of death from her.
"Don't worry about her, she can't survive anymore." Jasmine said coldly.
“No! She can live. As long as I am here, I will never let her die!” Yun Che gritted his teeth and pressed his hands on the fairy’s chest, desperately protecting her heart with his own profound energy.
"Hmph, there's no need to deceive yourself. Can't you feel that she is determined to die? From being a half-step king Xuan who is proud of the world, she has suddenly become a useless person who can't even stand up. If it were me, I wouldn't want to continue living. Even if you can find a way to keep her alive, she can only lie in bed from now on. For her, this will be a million times more painful than dying directly. If you want to save her, you are torturing her. Moreover, even if your medical skills are a hundred times superior, if she is dead in her heart, you can't save her at all!"
Jasmine's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Yun Che's head. His whole body froze and he could not move. After a long while, he lowered his head and looked at the pale face of the little fairy. He muttered in a low voice: "Master said that all things in the world are interdependent and mutually restraining. Life and death are reincarnated, and cause and effect are cyclical. Everything in the world has its opposite and reverse side. If a disease can be generated, it must be cured. There has never been such a thing as an incurable disease in the world. Even if there is, it is just that there is no way to find a cure for it. Since the profound veins can be broken, there must be a way to repair it... There must be! There must be!!"
What worried Yun Che the most was not her horrific injuries, but her determination to die. Jasmine was right. If she was completely desperate and wanted to die, not to mention him, even if her master was still alive, he would not be able to save her. With this thought in mind, he no longer cared about the little fairy's rejection. He grabbed her shoulders with both hands and shouted, "Little fairy, listen... listen to me! As long as I am here, you will not die, no matter how serious your injuries are. Give me three years, I will definitely be able to repair all of your broken meridians. Your profound meridians... there must be a way to restore your profound meridians. Open your eyes and look at me. Don't die... don't let yourself die!"
The fairy's eyes were closed, only her snowy lips moved, and she uttered a weak voice: "Mysterious Veins are completely broken, there is no way to save the situation... I don't blame you, you... just... go..."
The weak voice of the little fairy was also full of determination to die. Her words "I don't blame you" were without any blame or emotion, not even a trace of resentment or unwillingness, her heart was truly dead.
“You don’t have to try to persuade her. Even if you really have a way to repair her profound veins, or even make her profound veins intact now, her determination to die will not decrease.” Jasmine said mercilessly: “Decades of hard training were destroyed in one day. You don’t understand how unbearable the huge gap is from a half-step King Profound to a useless person. Humph, let’s not talk about her, let’s talk about you… If all the power and divine skills you have cultivated in the past year were to disappear, wouldn’t you be desperate? Not to mention her decades of hard work and the cultivation of a half-step King Profound!”
“No! I won’t!” Yun Che’s eyes were determined: “No matter what I lose, as long as it’s not my life, as long as I’m still alive, there must be hope of getting it back. Being alive is the greatest hope, and everything is possible when I’m alive!”
“Ah… woo…”
In the distance, the sound of a mysterious beast roaring could be heard faintly, and the intermittent roars were getting closer and closer. Obviously, the fierce battle had stopped and the aura of the two dragons had disappeared, causing some of the more intelligent mysterious beasts to sense something was wrong and began to tentatively approach this place. And any of the mysterious beasts that could be in the center of this wasteland was something that Yun Che could not possibly contend with.
Yun Che looked around and suddenly saw that there was a lonely low mountain less than a mile to the north. Under the low mountain was a dark cave entrance. The reason why it was lonely was that in the battle between the little fairy and the two dragons just now, a large area around it had been flattened. Only that low mountain, for some reason, was still there safely, and it seemed that it had not been damaged at all.
If a mysterious beast finds out, not only the fairy, but also he will die here. He made a prompt decision, picked up the fairy's cold and soft body, rushed to the hill, and roared in a low voice: "Fairy, I know you are pure and innocent, and even repulse men, but I just hugged you... If you want to punish me, if you want to kill me, then live well! If you dare to die like this... I... I will strip you of your clothes right away!"
The little fairy had never heard such a shameless threat in her life. She felt that he had held her body tightly, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. Her heart, which was already full of determination to die, gave rise to a trace of anger, humiliation, and something inexplicable, but soon, these things were drowned out by the determination to die...
Yun Che rushed into the cave quickly and carefully. During the entire process, his profound energy continued to flow into the little fairy's body, protecting her lifeblood.
This cave was darker than expected, but not eerie. Yun Che walked all the way to the deepest part of the cave before gently putting the little fairy down.
It was dark and quiet here, and even the sound of the wind could no longer be heard. Feeling the fairy's gossamer breath, Yun Che felt guilty and powerless: "I'm sorry, if it wasn't for you protecting me, if it wasn't for me insisting on chasing that Storm Eagle, you wouldn't have encountered this... If I could have foreseen this earlier, I would never have made the same choice. How can my life be more important than your life..."
When Yun Che first asked the little fairy to protect him for three months, he never thought that during this period of time, he would actually encounter two peak-level Tianxuan dragons… This little fairy, whose strength was enough to be ranked in the top ten of the Blue Wind Empire, kept her promise and returned on time after leaving for two months. She followed him from the Blue Wind Imperial City to this Death Wasteland and guarded his life every step of the way… Now, she even gave everything she had for it.
Yun Che never wanted to owe anyone anything. The fairy's protection of him was just a "transaction", and he had always enjoyed it with a clear conscience. But after what happened today, how could he continue to feel at ease?
Yun Che reached out and felt the pulse of the fairy, and found that her body temperature was not colder, but warmer. After a moment of shock, he immediately realized that the coldness of her body was due to the profound skills she practiced. Now that her profound veins were broken, her ice-based profound skills had all dissipated, and her body temperature began to return to normal...
Thinking of this, Yun Che quickly stood up and ignited a circle of phoenix flames around himself and the little fairy, bringing with it waves of heat in the dark cave.
At this moment, suddenly an old voice sounded slowly from above:
"Phoenix flame... I see. It seems that it was not an illusion. There is indeed a little phoenix blood flowing in your body."
This voice made Yun Che jump up from the ground like lightning: “Who… who is speaking!!”
