The only sounds left in the room were Chi Yu'er's breathing and Hammer King's mosquito-like gasps.
Chi Yuer looked at the Hammer King's body, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
With his fingers resting on the Hammer King's right wrist, Chi Yuer's spiritual energy slowly overflowed.
"Senior Hammer Emperor, please bear with it. I will check your body. It may be a little painful. Please relax your mind." Chi Yuer said softly.
The old man with the hammer slowly opened his eyes, then closed them weakly, and just made a slight "hmm" sound through his nose. It was obvious that he had no strength left.
Chi Yuer controlled her spiritual energy and slowly circulated it around the old man Hammer's body. After one circle, Chi Yuer's face became even more solemn and ugly.
"I know my own body very well. Don't tell that girl Xiaoba!"
I don’t know when the old man with the hammer woke up, but he just spoke softly without opening his eyes.
"Senior Hammer Emperor, why are you..."
Hammer King shook his head and signaled Chi Yuer to stop talking.
"Fighting a desperate battle with those two ninth-level high-level demon emperors, I've already... cough cough cough..."
As he spoke, the Hammer King began to cough violently, and with every cough, a trace of blood foam came out of his mouth.
"Senior Hammer Emperor, please stop talking and take this pill. It was made by the chief alchemist of our Holy Sect. It will be effective if you take it!"
Chi Yuer took out a pill from the ring. The pill was tightly bound in her palm and was constantly changing into various shapes. It can be seen that this is at least a seventh-grade pill.
"No... no need... I'm already at the end of my rope, I know my own... body best, it would be a waste to take it, Yu'er girl, don't waste your pill..." Hammer King said weakly.
"No! Senior Hammer Emperor, you must not say that!" Chi Yuer said hurriedly.
"I appreciate your kindness, but seriously, I know my own body well. The desperate attack of the two Demon Emperors directly destroyed most of the meridians in my body. If I didn't like to play with some strange things, I'm afraid even my heart and lungs would be destroyed now! Cough cough cough..." The Hammer Emperor coughed again, looking a little painful, and his face was extremely haggard.
"Senior Hammer Emperor, please stop talking and let me heal you!" said Chi Yuer.
"Girl! You...you listen to me. I know what you want to do, but there's really...there's really no need for this. I know my body very well. No one would complain about longevity. If it were really possible, I would definitely not refuse. But now, I'm really dying!"
The Hammer King opened his eyes, looked at Chi Yu'er, and said, "I know you are a good child. It is also Xiao Ba's blessing to meet you. Miss Chi, in the future... in the future, when I am gone, please take good care of her if possible!"
Chi Yu'er's eyes were slightly red, and she said, "Don't worry, Senior Hammer Emperor. I have long regarded Xiao Ba as my own sister. I will take good care of her."
"Well, I feel relieved now that you've heard that. What a pity! I probably won't be able to see that little girl grow up."
The Hammer King smiled bitterly and said, "The deal you made with that girl is still valid. I've seen that guy named Gu Yuan, and he's not a bad guy. He's also quite good to the little girl. With him by her side, the little girl won't feel lonely. Besides, you'll have to leave sooner or later. In fact, the best person who can accompany Xiao Ba now is Gu Yuan."
"That's right, senior." Chi Yuer replied.
"Okay! Actually, I also know that there is some connection between you and that kid Gu Yuan, right? Since he has some relationship with someone like you, the identity of that kid must be extraordinary." Hammer King said in a low voice.
"Brother Gu Yuan's identity is indeed not simple, but after so many years, I think everyone has almost forgotten the person behind him. Moreover, for some reason, I actually hope that no one will remember Brother Gu Yuan. This is the best thing for him."
"Well... allow me to ask, young lady, could you tell me what the identity of that boy named Gu Yuan is? From now on, Xiao Ba will have to depend on Gu Yuan for life, and I am really a little worried." said the Hammer King.
"This..." Chi Yuer hesitated.
"What? That kid's identity is very special? Can't tell?" asked the Hammer King.
"Yes!" Chi Yuer replied.
"So, that guy's identity is not simple, and you are by his side protecting him. Obviously, he has a complicated background. I don't know if it will be dangerous for the little girl to be with him. But never mind, that's Xiao Ba's choice. I have no right to ask."
Old Man Hammer's face grew paler and paler. He looked at Chi Yu'er and said, "Those two Demon Emperors have been lurking in Giant Stone City for years. I still don't know their exact purpose. But this time, they suddenly launched an attack. Two Demon Emperors suddenly appeared in the tiny Giant Stone City. This makes me very worried!"
"I also encountered a Demon Emperor from the Huoyun Sect. Obviously, they should know each other's existence, but I didn't expect so many Demon Emperors to appear this time. I really don't know how many demonic forces are secretly spying on the land of our human race."
"Hahaha, I can't replace this old man anymore. These generals are all the business of the major sects in your Central Region. I have done my best. This old man has not lost anything in this life. It is worth it to be able to replace two Demon Emperors before the deadline!"
Chi Yuer's eyes became even redder. It was really hard to bear to see Hammer King's open-minded and optimistic character.
"Alright, don't be sad because of me, an old man. I've lived a boring life, and the only thing I can't let go of is that girl Xiao Ba. And there's one more thing, about that girl Xiao Ba's life story. Please tell her about it later. If she wants, she can go to Mingcheng in the Southern Territory. There might be something she wants to know there."
"Mingcheng in the Southern Territory? Okay, Senior Hammer Emperor, I will tell Xiaoba! Do you have anything else to say to Xiaoba now? I can call her in." Chi Yuer asked.
"No! No need, just let me go in peace. I don't want to see that girl crying for me. When she was little, she loved to cry whenever she was unhappy, and I often..."
The Hammer King's voice became lower and lower until it finally fell silent.
The pale lips also gently closed, and the only sound in the whole room was Chi Yuer's breathing.
Chi Yuer's body trembled slightly and she couldn't help but cover her lips.
After a while, Chi Yu'er murmured, "Junior Chi Yu'er respectfully bids farewell to Senior Hammer Emperor!"
As he walked out slowly, Chi Yuer's eyes gradually became moist. He wondered what Xiao Ba would do after knowing this news.
