Fu Qingtong blinked slightly, which made the festering flesh on her face look rather gruesome.
Jiang Si wanted to touch her but was afraid of increasing her pain.
Senior Sister Qingtong was once a top-tier beauty in the cultivation world.
Now, however, they have fallen into this state.
Jiang Si clenched her fists even tighter.
"My life is over, you don't need to worry about me." Qing Tong gently shook her head, then looked Jiang Si up and down, her eyes filled with comfort: "I never thought I would actually see you again."
Jiang Si immediately noticed the flaw in his words.
"Senior sister, what do you mean?" She grabbed her hand.
Even she didn't know she would come into this world, but her senior sister's words seemed to imply that she had already foreseen it.
Just as Fu Qingtong was about to say something, she suddenly convulsed on the ground, her whole body trembling, as if she were in great pain.
Jiang Si quickly grabbed her, her voice urgent: "How are you?"
The sun rises early in the northwest.
The sunlight was already beginning to peek out.
Han Yunluo felt a pang of pity: "She has become a drought demon, and wherever she goes, the land turns barren and scorched by the sun all day long."
Jiang Si desperately suppressed her violence: "Are you saying she's been suffering like this all these years?"
"Yes." Han Yunluo nodded.
Jiang Si gently helped Fu Qingtong up, wanting to take her away from this place. Fu Qingtong was barely conscious and let her support her obediently.
Han Yunluo pulled her back, "Don't be impulsive."
“I have no impulse,” Jiang Si said. “If a god comes, I will kill him; if a Buddha comes, I will kill him.”
A hint of red tinged the depths of Jiang Si's eyes, making her appear as if she had descended from the depths of hell.
This was the first time Han Yunluo had ever seen Jiang Si so violent.
“It’s no use,” Han Yunluo said. “She’s not only cursed, but the place she’s in also has a barrier set up specifically for her. If the barrier can’t be broken, she can’t get out.”
"If you force her out, you will only suffer the backlash from the barrier."
Jiang Si stared at Han Yunluo, refusing to believe it. After taking a few steps, she saw with her own eyes that Fu Qingtong's hand looked like it was being burned by a fire, emitting white smoke.
Even while unconscious, Fu Qingtong let out a low moan of pain.
Just as Jiang Si was about to cast a cooling spell on her to alleviate her pain, Han Yunluo grabbed her hand and gently shook her head: "It's useless, it will only make things worse."
Han Yunluo picked up Fu Qingtong, gently put her down, and held her hand while chanting a calming incantation.
They couldn't alleviate her physical pain, but at least they could ease her mental suffering.
As Han Yunluo chanted incantations, Fu Qingtong's pain seemed to lessen considerably, and she stopped wailing.
Seeing all this, Jiang Si collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
Despite her exceptional skills, she was powerless to save her senior sister from her suffering.
"Is there really no other way?" Jiang Si asked, wiping away her tears. Melancholy was not in her nature.
She refused to believe there was no way to break the curse.
“Let’s look for it, we’ll find it eventually,” Han Yunluo said. “Take out your Heavenly Net Umbrella, the magic artifact can help her.”
Han Yunluo opened the Heavenly Net Umbrella and covered Fu Qingzhang to lessen her pain.
"let's go."
“We are human now, and the yang energy in our bodies will also feel like burning to her.”
Jiang Si left, turning back every few steps.
Fu Qingtong lay motionless under the parasol.
Back at the camp, everyone was in complete chaos.
The director was furious: "How could they disappear! What were they doing running off like that? Don't they know how dangerous the desert is?!"
Jiang Si, with her freakish fighting prowess, won't have any problems, but Han Yunluo and Lu Bier look so delicate that no one would even notice if they were swallowed up in this desert.
Guan Qingchen was also somewhat worried.
However, I'm not worried about Jiang Si and Han Yunluo, but about Lu Bier.
His deduction was that she must have unfortunately seen the two of them climbing out in the middle of the night and, overestimating her abilities, followed them.
Guan Qingchen was somewhat resentful. They really knew how to cause trouble. What kind of place was this desert? Could they just run around like that?
She Zhang was the calmest of all the people, and even showed interest in watching the sunrise.
That Lu Bier has nothing to do with him.
To be honest, putting yourself in someone else's shoes, would a human being care about the fate of a snake?
Bi Rou and Yu Zhong were also extremely anxious.
While the director was still scolding, he turned around and saw Jiang Si and Han Yunluo.
"You...you're back?"
Han Yunluo felt a little guilty about the trouble they had caused: "I'm sorry for the trouble you've caused."
Jiang Si looked unwell and remained silent.
The director leaned back, clinging to a sliver of hope, and asked, "Where's Lu Bier? Didn't she come with you?"
Hopefully, the worst-case scenario won't happen.
Han Yunluo: "??"
"She's not with us."
Guan Qingchen's expression also turned somewhat grim: "Lu Bier is missing."
Jiang Si looked as if she were about to die, so Yu Zhong braced himself and said, "Master Jiang, could you tell me where she is?"
“Yes.” Bi Rou was even more worried because she had some connection with Lu Bi’er.
What if something happens in this desolate place?
Jiang Si was already in a bad mood, and this made her even worse.
"What an idiot!"
Once these words were spoken, no one dared to refute them.
Jiang Si did the math for a moment, then said in a cold tone, "She's not dead, don't worry."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; if someone had really died, it would have been a real disaster.
Jiang Si led her people through a maze of turns and finally found Lu Bi'er, who was squatting to the side, crying with tears streaming down her face.
That night, she was alone in this place, afraid to shout, and unsure which way to go.
Hungry, thirsty, and fearful.
Upon seeing someone coming to find him, he immediately cried even harder and threw himself into the arms of Bi Rou, whom he knew best.
Bi Rou patted her back to comfort her, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid."
Others offered words of comfort.
Only Jiang Si, with a cold face, crossed her arms and questioned her: "Is stalking people fun?"
"Do you want to be alone in the wilderness? I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. You're not only taking the blame yourself, but you're also dragging others down with you. Why don't you just yell and attract the wolves? It would be the cleanest way to end it all."
Jiang Si's aura was so strong that no one else dared to speak.
I never knew Jiang Si would be so ruthless.
Upon hearing Jiang Si's words, Lu Bier's face contorted into a kaleidoscope of expressions.
“I…” Lu Bier felt wronged, her tears welling up in her eyes.
The director tried to smooth things over, saying, "She's just young and has a playful spirit."
Jiang Si looked at the director, then glanced at Lu Bier: "If anything happens again next time, don't come looking for me."
It was a close call, but nothing serious happened.
Guan Qingchen leaned close to Han Yunluo and whispered, "What happened to my master? Did he eat explosives? Or did you find something when you went out?"
Han Yunluo remained silent for a while, then earnestly suggested, "Don't make your master angry lately."
Jiang Si has suppressed her anger now, but she won't be polite to anyone who offends her.
The reason Lu Bier was saved this time was because Master Jiang Si still had the benevolent thought that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
