At first, Gong Yao felt so cold that even her thoughts seemed to be frozen by the coldness in her body.
Afterwards, she seemed to be lying in the center of the sun. The coldness gradually dissipated, and her body became lighter and warmer, as if she was wandering in a warm ocean.
"So this is what it feels like after death..."
Gong Yao was lost in thought, her eyelashes trembled, and she finally opened her eyes.
When she saw the familiar beams, the regret in her eyes was immediately replaced by astonishment.
She...is back?
She sat up and saw the empty water tank in front of the bed, but she could still sense a trace of residual warmth from it.
It turned out that warm feeling was not the relief after death, nor was it a dream, but someone really saved her.
Although her body felt more relaxed than ever before, Gong Yao's pretty face showed no joy, but instead a hint of solemnity.
Not only did her injuries fully recover, but 70% of the negative energy that had accumulated in her body for years was also eliminated in an instant.
Who could it be?
Who can have such a heaven-defying method?
Is this person still in their Gongjia Village?
She lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but at this moment, the light in front of the door dimmed and a strange woman walked in from outside.
Seeing her sitting on the bed, the woman smiled: "Awake?"
Gong Yao was about to get out of bed and salute, but when she heard the familiar laugh, she froze in place again.
This voice, why does it sound...
"elder sister!!"
Before she could figure it out, Gong Changming passed Xiang Sheng and rushed to the bed in ecstasy, tears welling up in his eyes again:
"Sister, that's great, you're okay."
Gong Yao gently rubbed the boy's head: "Silly Changming, you are already sixteen years old, why are you still so crybaby?"
Hearing this, Gong Changming wiped his tears hastily and burst into laughter: "Sister, you are right. I am an adult now. As long as you are okay, I will never cry again."
Gong Yao smiled and shook her head, then naturally turned the topic to Xiang Sheng: "This sister is..."
When Gong Changming heard this, he quickly stood up and said,
Sister, she is your savior. I rescued her from the Jueya River. Her surname is Xiang.
Sister Xiang, this is my sister. Let me formally introduce her to you. Her name is Gong Yao."
Xiang Sheng smiled and nodded: "A lot younger than I thought."
Gong Yao felt her ears go numb after hearing this.
This time she heard it clearly. Although the face of the woman in front of her was different, she was the senior physical cultivator in the palace!
Gong Changming listened and scratched his head.
Twenty-six is still young?
In their Gongjia Village, women who are 26 years old have already married and had several children.
Because of my sister's special status as a priest, her life span is longer than that of the villagers and she will never marry.
"Long-lived, I want to talk to my benefactor alone, you go out first."
Gong Yao suddenly spoke.
"good."
Gong Changming nodded obediently. His sister and Sister Xiang were both cultivators, so they must have many topics to talk about that he didn't understand.
He turned and left the room, closing the door considerately.
As soon as the man left, Gong Yao immediately got out of bed and knelt in front of Xiang Sheng: "Thank you, senior, for saving my life and my sister's life."
"Get up and talk."
Xiang Sheng casually took out a chair from his storage ring and sat down. "Without your brother, I wouldn't have taken action. If you want to thank someone, thank him."
"Senior, you're joking."
Gong Yao smiled bitterly: “With your strength, you can remain unscathed in the turbulence of space. Even if you don’t live long, you will be fine.
How can this little kindness offset the kindness you have shown me?"
Hearing this, Xiang Sheng raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "How do you know I fell into the spatial turbulence?"
Gong Yao then realized that she had let the cat out of the bag. Her tone stopped and her face turned pale.
She was so eager to ask for help that she chased after him in a fit of rage, truly hoping that she could be of some help and establish a good relationship with the senior.
But now that I think about it, senior wouldn't think that the red-gold ball was her work, and that she was the one who caused the other party to fall into the space turbulence, right?
"What are you thinking about again?"
Xiang Sheng saw her expression change and said calmly, "You're only at the Jindan stage, yet you dare to enter the Hunyuan Secret Realm. And you even tried to save me from that furry ball. You're quite courageous."
As soon as these words came out, Gong Yao's heart was relieved, and she said embarrassedly: "It is the junior who overestimated his own abilities."
"That black bridge, is it your means of opening the space channel?" Xiang Sheng continued to ask.
"Did you see it?"
Gong Yao was surprised, and then she looked ashamed: "My eyesight is not good enough, I couldn't find you."
"It's okay. If it weren't for your talisman that caused the space to crack more, I wouldn't have been able to get out so quickly."
Xiang Sheng said this and threw something to Gong Yao.
Gong Yao reached out to take it and took a closer look. She saw that it was the cloth bag she had used to store her ownerless true energy. Her expression suddenly became much disappointed.
"You did the right thing."
Xiang Sheng raised his hand slightly, and the talisman on the cloth bag immediately floated up and hung in front of Gong Yao.
"The aura of these talismans is special, and is similar to the spiritual energy in the Hunyuan Secret Realm.
If you hadn't stayed in the space channel for too long, causing the talismans to break, the ownerless true essence would have been fine."
After hearing this, Gong Yao finally realized where she was wrong. Although she felt disappointed, she also felt less guilty.
At least this failure was not due to her incompetence.
Moreover, she lost her ownerless true energy, but received help from her predecessors.
This loss and gain not only did not result in any loss, but it was actually a huge profit for her and her brother.
Otherwise, given her physical condition, after returning, she would be completely eroded by the Yin energy within two years at most and degenerate into a demon.
My younger brother has a special physique. He absorbs much more Yin energy than ordinary children and will not live past the age of twenty.
But the villagers didn't wait for the ownerless true essence, I'm afraid...
Thinking of this, Gong Yao felt sad, but did not show it in front of Xiang Sheng.
She pursed her lips and asked respectfully, "Senior, this is my first time here. I wonder if I can be of any assistance?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Sheng pointed towards the east wall of the house and asked, "What's that place?"
Gong Yao was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and replied, "In the direction you pointed, there is a small city nearby, and in the distance is the Demon Heaven City."
Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes, "Devil Heaven City...Devil Heaven Palace?"
Gong Yao was surprised: "Senior also knows about the Demon Heaven Palace?"
Xiang Sheng nodded: "I only know a little bit, tell me about it."
Gong Yaoxiu blushed slightly: "Senior, I have been practicing in the village for many years and have never been out. I know very little about the Demon Palace.
However, the old priest has traveled extensively in his early years and must know a lot. Would you like me to call him over?"
"No rush."
Xiang Sheng looked at Gong Yao, his eyes turning, and he slowly said, "You have been practicing in the village. Where did you get this ability in the art of talismans?"
Gong Yao's expression suddenly froze.
The inheritance of the art of talismans is the biggest secret in the village, how can it be told to outsiders?
But the senior has great cultivation and is her savior...
Gong Yao was wavering in her heart, but she looked at Sheng with a calm and clear gaze, without any greed. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Senior, please follow me."
