Chapter 542 The Girl by the Stream
In the end, only two people caught up with the young man in front, the two young men and the woman at the beginning.
The moonlight shines through the sparse treetops, casting mottled shadows, covering the figures of several people with a layer of mysterious silver gauze.
Several people walked slowly in the direction where the fragrance was the strongest. They were extremely alert with every step, and their ears moved slightly to catch the subtle sounds around them.
The air around them seemed to become fresher as they went deeper, and the fragrance became stronger, with a hint of imperceptible sweetness and temptation.
Suddenly, the boy stopped and the view in front of him became clear. A small stream under the moonlight came into view.
The woman turned around and looked around, wondering, "The fragrance is coming from this water. It really appeared suddenly."
The young man hummed, "Could this fragrance be emitted from the corpse of a plant-type monster or some spiritual plant?"
The young man held a piece of grass in his mouth and said casually, "No way, didn't we drive away all the monsters around here? It can't be floating down from upstream."
The young man also felt that this idea was wrong. Suddenly, his eyes paused and his gaze fell on the stream.
In the moonlight, there seemed to be a figure lying by the stream.
The moonlight was as bright as water, and the silver glow gently sprinkled on the quiet river bank, covering everything with a soft and mysterious veil.
The young man frowned, then walked forward slowly. Every step he took shattered the tranquility around him. His heartbeat was intertwined with the murmur of the stream, appearing particularly clear.
As the distance got closer, the figure gradually became clearer. It was a woman in a blue dress, with long hair cascading down like a waterfall. A few strands of hair gently stuck to her pale cheeks, making her look particularly weak and helpless.
Her eyes were tightly closed, and her breathing was shallow and weak, as if she would disappear in the cool night breeze at any moment.
The corners of the clothes were gently hit by the stream, creating layers of delicate ripples.
All around, fluorescent grass danced quietly in the breeze, as if it were the guardian of the small streams in the mountains, adding a bit of mystery and warmth to this sudden encounter.
The young man approached slowly, taking every step with extreme caution, fearing to disturb the tranquility and fragility.
The woman and the boy followed and asked in surprise, "Why is it a person? And a little girl..."
The woman squatted down and gently brushed the hair away from the girl's face. There was a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "It's a girl. How strange."
The entire Broken Soul Mountains are almost completely controlled by the people of Tianyu Palace. No one else should be able to get in. Where did this girl come from?
Young people and teenagers obviously have this question as well.
The young man frowned and looked around deeply, trying to find any unusual clues in this desolate scenery.
The boy curiously circled around the unconscious girl, occasionally reaching out to gently touch her hair swaying in the wind. "There doesn't seem to be anything suspicious."
The woman gently stroked the girl's cold wrist, her fingertips trembling slightly. She murmured softly, "Although this dress is a little worn, it's made of extraordinary material. Could it be..."
Before he could finish his words, a slight breeze blew past, causing the surrounding grass and trees to sway gently, as if even the wind was listening to his unfinished speculation.
The young man suddenly became alert and slowly stood up. His eyes were like torches, scanning the surrounding deep forest. He lowered his head and said, "Let's take her back to the camp first."
The boy was surprised and asked, "Just take it back like this?"
The woman also felt something was amiss. "Although the three of us are allies, we are only acquaintances with the other people in the camp. Bringing such a suspicious person back like this is not right."
Although their relationship is much better than those in Tianyu Palace, they cannot be completely trusted after all.
The young man frowned slightly, "Indeed, in that case..."
The woman smiled and said, "I don't think she's seriously injured. She's just passed out from exhaustion. Let her take the elixir and she'll wake up in a moment. Let's first figure out who she is and where she came from, how about that?"
The young man thought for a moment and nodded. He took out an exquisite jade bottle from the space ring and gently pulled out the cork. A fresh medicinal fragrance instantly spread out, as if it could dispel the dullness around him.
He carefully poured out a round pill. There was a faint luster on the surface of the pill. It was actually a Divine King Pill.
He frowned slightly, "I don't know if the Divine King Pill will work."
The woman chuckled and shook her head, "Have you forgotten? The highest-grade elixir on this continent is the Divine King Elixir. Besides, the girl's injuries aren't serious, so even a lower-grade elixir would be more than enough."
She took the pill, gently approached the unconscious girl, helped her up, and carried her to the clean and dry grass.
Then he let her head rest gently on his shoulder and gently put the pill into her mouth.
Under the effect of the medicine, the girl's pale cheeks gradually turned red, and her breathing became more steady and powerful.
The air around seemed to come alive with these subtle changes. The breeze blew gently, causing the leaves to rustle, adding a touch of vitality to the quiet scene.
Soon, the girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes that were as clear as water. A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and then she quickly regained her clarity.
She looked around, and finally her eyes fell on the young man and woman in front of her, her eyes full of confusion and gratitude, "Were...were you the ones who saved me?"
The woman let her lean against the tree trunk and stood up. "I guess so."
The moonlight cast a cool color on the girl's pale skin.
The girl sat up, her movements still a little weak, but her eyes were unusually bright, as if they could see into people's hearts.
She raised her hand gently, and her fingertips touched the rough tree trunk beside her, feeling the reality of life.
Seeing this, the young man sighed and handed over a glass of warm water. His voice was gentle but firm. "We happened to be passing by and saw you unconscious, so we helped you up. Drink some water first, you will feel better."
The girl took the cup, her fingertips trembling slightly as the warmth passed through the cup's walls and into her palm. She lowered her head and took a sip. The sweet water moistened her dry throat, bringing a hint of coolness and comfort.
When he looked up, his eyes were filled with tears of gratitude, and he whispered, "Thank you, I... I thought I would never wake up again."
She pursed her dry lips and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
The young man folded his arms and looked down at her. Seeing the pitiful look on the girl's face, he swallowed the question on his lips and uttered only two words stiffly, "Xuan Mu."
The woman also smiled and gave her name, "My name is Xie Shiyuan."
The young man lowered his eyes to look at the girl on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Wen Xingyan."
"Now it's our turn to ask you." Xie Shiyuan's voice was as gentle as her appearance. "What's your name?"
