Qiao Yue strode confidently and proudly into the cloud boat, ready to sweep away a large group of guards!
As a result, not only did the guards who were supposed to patrol the cloud boat disappear, but she drove for several miles without encountering a single person!
It wasn't until she was almost at the Holy Maiden's Palace that she heard the sounds of fierce fighting. In the distance, the glint of swords and the sparks from exploding spells illuminated half the sky.
Three breaths later, she saw two white figures standing side by side on the top of the Saintess Temple.
He immediately shouted excitedly, "Elder Chu! Senior Brother! I'm here!!!"
One of the white figures looked over, then seemed to lower its head and call out something downwards. Only when it got closer did she hear it—
"Four! Three! Two! One! Board the ship!!!"
The cloud boat swept across the sky above the Holy Maiden's Palace like lightning! With a few muffled thuds, Qiao Yue turned around and saw all her companions landing on the deck one after another!
Not one is missing.
Gu Chunxiao was still unconscious. The quick-acting heart medicine had already protected her heart, but the aftereffects of the whole bottle of Baoling Pill were too heavy. Her organs were failing and her breathing was gradually becoming weak.
The cloud boat sped through the air at top speed!
The original three-day journey was shortened to one and a half days. The next afternoon, Yunzhou finally arrived at the nameless immortal mountain.
They hurriedly sent Gu Chunxiao to Danfeng.
Elder Danfeng worked tirelessly for three days and three nights, consuming various rare and precious medicinal herbs and elixirs at an alarming rate. He managed to preserve his heart meridian, but then he started bleeding from all seven orifices; he controlled the blood loss, but then his meridians were on the verge of bursting; he protected his meridians, but then his organs failed; he nurtured his organs, but then his muscles began to atrophy! Round after round, he patched things up again and again.
Song Nanhe sat outside the door, his eyes red.
Chu Hongluan leaned against a large tree by the door, her whole body shrouded in shadow. Her face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Liu Jinghong leaned against her, saying nothing, silently keeping her company.
With a creak, the door opened.
Everyone looked up at the same time.
The Peak Master of Danfeng paused, speechless, and cursed, "What kind of dejected expressions do you all have! Standing at my door is bad luck! Anyone who didn't know better would think I killed her! Haven't you all checked Gu Chunxiao's soul lamp?! It's burning so brightly it's practically burning all the other soul lamps around it! Even if I wrapped her up in a mat and threw her into the wilderness, she wouldn't die!"
"...But didn't you say—" Qiao Yue's eyes widened.
"Yes! I did say her body was riddled with wounds! Her vital signs had almost stopped!"
"But she's the Holy Maiden of the Witch Clan! Do you think she became the Holy Maiden by luck? She became it by sheer luck!"
"Her physical recovery ability is at least five to ten times that of an ordinary person. It's hard to tell whether it's innate or acquired, but in short, as long as her soul isn't destroyed, as long as she still has the will to live, as long as her body has a breath left—she won't die, understand?"
Chu Hongluan finally came to her senses and rushed to the side of the Danfeng Peak Master: "How is Chunxiao now?"
Peak Master Danfeng chuckled: "She's never had it this good. When she first entered the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, the soul lamp that symbolized her life force only had a tiny flame. Because some people are alive, but their hearts are already a wasteland."
"But this time when she came back, the flame of her soul lamp was more intense and fiery than ever before! This little girl has truly come back to life."
"She's fine now! All the medicine I used these past few days wasn't for nothing! Now she just needs to take her medicine and rest. One of you stay here and watch over her, and help me out while you're at it."
"I'll do it," Song Nanhe responded the fastest.
The peak master of Danfeng sized him up several times, then clicked his tongue, slung his sleeves behind his back, and muttered as he walked towards the alchemy room: "Youth is good, youth is good..."
After confirming that Gu Chunxiao was alright, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Hongluan went in to check on Gu Chunxiao, then rubbed her aching temples and went back to catch up on her sleep.
Liu Jinghong followed closely behind, eating when she should eat and sleeping when she should sleep.
When the old man Wangsheng returned, he was severely scolded by the mistress of the pavilion and fined three months' salary. He lost his appetite for drinking and sighed all day long.
Chu Hongluan had no need to use Wang Sheng, her cheap master, for anything, so she never went to him. She spent her days getting used to the new earth spirit consciousness in her sea of consciousness, and they gradually became familiar with each other.
She used to always call her Senior Yu.
It was later discovered that Senior Yu had been trapped in the Witch Clan almost from birth, and for tens of thousands of years, no one had spoken to him, so his understanding of the colorful world outside was pitifully small.
Even now, he still has the heart of a child.
So Chu Hongluan stopped calling him Senior Jade and just kept calling him Ayu.
At first, Ayu protested, but later she resigned herself to her fate.
It's just that because no one spoke for tens of thousands of years, now that they have Chu Hongluan as their listener, they have completely rebounded from rock bottom!
From morning till night, he kept talking non-stop, without ever stopping.
"My God! So people in the outside world don't wear black cloaks?! We can see right through their faces! That's amazing!"
"Wow! Peach blossoms!! They smell so good! Quick! Come closer! Let me smell them too! I haven't smelled flowers in tens of thousands of years!"
"What is this? Pastry? Spirit fruit? Can I eat it?"
"......"
Chu Hongluan was stunned. If she had known the Earth Spirit would cause such a commotion, she would never have been so foolish as to bring him out!
To give his mind a little peace, Chu Hongluan suggested taking it to Kunlun to see the snow, on the condition that it could hold back its words for two days.
Perhaps the temptation of seeing the snow in Kunlun was too great, because Ayu really held back and didn't say a word. Only occasionally at night, when Chu Hongluan was asleep, a snake would sit there humming happily, imagining what the top of Kunlun would look like, and marveling at how good this business was!
But the naive Ayu had no idea that this deal would leave her penniless.
After resting for two days, Chu Hongluan kept her promise and took Liu Jinghong to Kunlun. On the way, Ayu kept screaming and yelling, which gave Chu Hongluan a headache.
"Wow! That's so cool! It's way more awesome than that stinky priest's 'shrinking the earth to an inch' technique! He's thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye! Amazing! Can we do it again? Let's do it again!"
"......"
Having finally arrived at Kunlun, before they could even stand firmly on their feet, they heard Ayu's almost voiceless exclamation.
"My God! Is this Kunlun?! The wind! The snow! It's magnificent! I'm so excited I can't breathe!!"
Chu Hongluan pursed her lips, determined to ignore this guy.
She came here with three things on her mind.
First, I brought Ayu out to see the scenery.
Second, let's see how the mecha Phoenix is coming along.
Third, when she leaves, she will ask the Taoist in green for a way to block out Ayu's voice at any time!
