Chapter 302 Gentle Senior Brother 10 Unexpectedly, after resting for a day and a night, Zi Xi had only walked a hundred feet when the wound on her arm felt like it was being burned, and the spiritual energy in her body suddenly became disordered.
All she remembered was replenishing her spiritual energy; she hadn't yet cleaned the snake's venom.
The tingling and itching caused by the snake venom, combined with the excruciating pain from the internal organ tremors, caused her vision to blur in waves.
Just as she clutched her chest and collapsed to the ground, an arm immediately wrapped around her shoulder.
"Junior Sister didn't take the antidote pill yesterday? Is it because there weren't any antidote pills left?"
Before Zi Xi lost consciousness, she only heard a soft laugh.
When Zi Xi woke up again, Mu Yuan was roasting a spirit chicken next to her.
"Senior brother, what are you doing here?"
Zi Xi's face was pale, and her voice was slightly hoarse due to weakness.
"I was passing by when I saw that Junior Sister Liu was seriously injured. How could I, as her senior brother, sit idly by? Of course, I must wait until you are fully healed before I can feel at ease."
Mu Yuan maintained his gentle facade, as if he were just passing by and offering help, and spoke with utmost sincerity.
"Don't worry, junior sister. I'm not one to take advantage of someone in distress. I've already given you an antidote."
He paused and then added, his smile becoming even more harmless.
Zi Xi looked at him silently.
His face was indeed handsome and extremely deceptive, his smile was gentle, and his eyes were sincere.
But for some reason, Zi Xi felt immune to his gentle, smiling face after seeing it so many times.
Zi Xi pondered to herself with doubt.
Could it be that the cultivation method Master gave me is the one for cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness?
However, given her current weakened state, acting alone would indeed be extremely risky.
She needs time to heal.
"In that case, I'll trouble you, senior brother."
After a moment's consideration, Zi Xi nodded indifferently.
"Junior sister, you're welcome."
A triumphant smile flashed in Mu Yuan's eyes.
He agreed readily, as if he were truly just a kind-hearted senior student eager to help others.
Thus, the two formed a silent and eerie companionship.
Despite her injuries, Zi Xi tried her best to find a suitable hiding place as quickly as possible. She remained silent most of the time, focusing all her energy on using her inner energy cultivation technique to suppress her injuries and the toxins.
Mu Yuan followed leisurely to the side, seemingly also wary of his surroundings, but in reality, most of his attention was focused on Zi Xi.
"Sigh, in order to get here as quickly as possible to save my junior sister, I circulated my spiritual energy a bit too quickly, and it seems to have aggravated an old injury..."
"But junior sister, don't worry, it's nothing."
Mu Yuan suddenly sighed softly, his tone carrying just the right amount of weariness.
As he spoke, he subtly adjusted his breathing to make himself appear as if he were genuinely a little out of breath.
At the same time, he looked at Zixi expectantly.
"With your cultivation level, Senior Brother, you have the strength to track us here and instantly kill several demonic beasts. Your old injuries must be healed."
Zi Xi didn't even lift her eyelids, her voice flat and emotionless.
Mu Yuan: "..."
"Oh, by the way, junior sister, do you know that there's a place called Falling Star Lake in this Cloud Heaven Secret Realm? The scenery is superb, and the spiritual energy is quite abundant. It's just a pity that a group of spiny-backed crocodiles inhabit it..."
Mu Yuan tried to start a conversation and hinted that he knew a good place and could take her there.
Zi Xi: "Oh."
"It is said that a hundred years ago, a pair of Taoist lovers fell in love by this lake, leaving behind a beautiful story..."
Mu Yuan was unwilling to give up and continued to describe the scenery over there.
"Senior brother seems to know a great deal about these kinds of rumors."
Zi Xi finally turned her head and glanced at him, her eyes cold and aloof.
Mu Yuan felt like he was telling a romance novel to a stone.
As they passed through a seemingly calm swamp, a sly glint flashed in Mu Yuan's eyes.
