"You..." Le Xi, who was suddenly speechless and grimacing, seemed unaware of how ugly she looked. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be mean to you, it's just... the things you used really hurt."
"Thank you."
In that instant, Lexi didn't know why she wanted to cry. Maybe it was from the pain. Or maybe it was because she had apologized and felt ashamed, and wanted to cry.
"You're welcome." Nian Wanzhou snorted coldly. Now was not the time to argue; they needed to find a way out. "Do you know where we are? We should be able to get back, right...?"
That's what she's worried about. In an unfamiliar place, what if she gets targeted by some kind of spirit beast? There's no one to save her.
Before, Nan Yu was there to protect her, but now... she's afraid Le Xi will throw her away to feed the spirit beasts.
As a patient in modern society, the greatest danger Nian Wanzhou had ever encountered was her cancer. Having come into this magical world, how could she not be afraid?
They could be eaten or killed at any moment, living in constant fear. Even when they finally found a safe haven, they were still kidnapped and sold.
Sometimes, Nian Wanzhou wondered if this was the price of being given a second chance at life? Or was it because she wasn't the female lead that she was in this situation? Or perhaps, she was a female lead, which is why she suffered so much?
Whatever happens to her, can you please stop torturing her like this?
Feeling so sad she felt like vomiting, Nian Wanzhou carefully searched for food nearby. No matter where she was or what she was doing, she couldn't let her stomach suffer. Before, she hadn't been able to enjoy good food; now, she just wanted to die full.
Leaving Lexi writhing on the ground in pain, Nian Wanzhou slowly surveyed the surrounding area to ensure safety before going out to find food.
She only put some pastries in the ring; how could a gluttonous cat leave leftovers?
So, there wasn't enough to eat.
While searching for the spiritual fruit, Nian Wanzhou pondered her current predicament. The white light seemed to have exploded due to the spiritual energy she had diluted, directly shattering the semi-immortal artifact and killing it instantly. Then, she and Lexi, who were originally supposed to be taken away by the immortal artifact, were transported here together after the explosion halfway through the process.
Thankfully, I wasn't blown to bits.
And that venerable one doesn't seem to be doing too well either.
I don't know how everyone is doing now, whether they are seriously injured, and there's also Senior Sister, Nan Yu and the others... I don't know how to get back here, it's so annoying.
As for why she didn't contact her senior sisters immediately, Nian Wanzhou said that when she was arrested, apart from the ring that was hidden very well, everything else on her body was taken away or destroyed.
As for Le Xi, she dared not move, and there were no jade pendants or anything like that in any visible location.
It is highly likely that it was affected by the explosion and completely destroyed.
As they flew higher and higher, Nian Wanzhou found the place to be magical, giving her the feeling of having arrived at a paradise on earth.
It's no exaggeration to call it a paradise on earth.
It's even more beautiful than those secret realms, and it looks completely untouched by the spirit beasts, which is quite rare.
I vaguely saw... some flying dragons?
Nian Wanzhou vaguely guessed what was going on, and with a swift descent, he grabbed Le Xi and immediately asked, "Senior brother, is your hometown around here? I saw your accomplices, but they're not your kind! There are dragons flying in the sky!"
"The same kind? I've never been around here before, but if there are dragons, it's probably true." Le Xi, who was almost half dead, finally stopped being foul-mouthed and became unusually agreeable to Nian Wanzhou.
"Let me sense the aura first, just in case something goes wrong." Le Xi almost couldn't finish her sentence.
He was really weak. Nian Wanzhou could feel that much of his spiritual energy had been lost. It seemed that the black mist was preventing him from gathering spiritual energy.
"Alright, then go ahead and look for it. We're not in a rush. Let's focus on healing your injuries first." Nian Wanzhou comforted her senior brother, who was in a very weak state, afraid that if she upset him any further, he would pass away.
Then she rummaged around for something and found a simple medicine bottle, which was a pill she had secretly made for fun before.
The Fourth Elder said it was a more effective Nourishing Pill. She kept two or three for herself as a memento, and gave the rest to her master to treat his illness. The Fourth Elder said it was very useful for repairing spiritual veins and gathering spiritual energy... it should be fine too, right?
Once Lexi had recovered, she saw a dark and ugly thing in front of her. "What is this? You, you're not planning to kill me now, are you?"
How could she be so heartless?
Aren't we all the eldest sister's little darlings? Why do we have to get rid of him and take her place?
"What are you thinking!" Nian Wanzhou was so angry she wanted to punch this bastard to death. How could a perfectly normal person have a mouth? "This is a Nourishing Pill, which can alleviate the loss of spiritual energy in your body. Don't worry about anything, your master uses it too."
"It may be a bit ugly, but it's very effective. Just trust me this once."
Le Xi had certainly heard of this, but he didn't believe it at first.
Later, when he saw that his master had actually come out of the mountains again to teach him a lesson, he realized just how good that ordinary and ugly Nourishing Pill really was.
"Um... thank you, junior sister." Le Xi's cheeks were slightly flushed. He had never been this close to the other junior sisters before, and he almost had his junior sister personally feed him the medicine.
How embarrassing!
"I can do it myself." Lexi tried to reach out and take the pill, but she was too weak to lift her paw.
He still retains his original dragon form and cannot use his spiritual power to transform into human form. Not only that, his spiritual power flows out like water, making him feel extremely useless.
To everyone's surprise, Nian Wanzhou simply pried open his mouth, threw it in, and that was it.
Lexi: ......
If he weren't currently immobilized, he would definitely show this junior sister the harsh realities of the outside world. Her behavior was truly... too humiliating.
After taking a deep breath, Le Xi said, "I've confirmed that it's the Jiaolong clan. You can take me to a forest a little further out. It's not dangerous around here. As long as we can contact our clansmen, we can contact the sect."
"Do you still have your Jade Listening Device? Mine was destroyed by those people, and I can't contact anyone." Nian Wanzhou stood up with her hands on her hips, then tried to rest her chin on her hand.
Unfortunately, his claws weren't long enough, so he could only continue to ask arrogantly with his hands on his hips.
"Where did you learn this... such an unseemly manner?" The more Yuexi spent with this junior sister, the more she felt that the former little troublemaker had become so silly. She really wanted to laugh.
"Yu Ting is lost. We don't know when it was lost. We can only try our luck outside."
Nian Wanzhou impatiently flicked her tail: "Fine, we still have to go out and take the risk. Just make sure there's no danger."
"Tsk, can't you act like one? Hands on hips and wagging your tail like that, what kind of dragon is as rude as you!" Lexi finally couldn't help but complain. Seriously, it's just too unbecoming!
