After she nodded in agreement, Qi Nuan waved her hand, and the boy in the quicksand was rescued by Qi Nuan.
The girl hurriedly ran to the boy's side, "Senior brother."
Qi Nuan threw the bottle containing the antidote at the girl's feet.
The girl glanced at Qi Nuan.
Qi Nuan only uttered two words.
"Antidote."
The girl picked up the medicine bottle, poured out a pill, sniffed it, and then put it into the boy's mouth.
"cough……"
"Senior brother, that's great, you're finally awake."
The girl hugged the boy and wept with joy.
The boy looked at his junior sister beside him and then at Qi Nuan not far away, his eyes filled with doubt.
The girl, noticing his confusion, quickly recounted what had happened.
"Thank you for saving our lives, young lady. No need for further words, we will hand over the treasures we found in the yellow sand to you."
"We are disciples of the Wenyuan Sword Sect. This is my junior sister, Ji Yueling. May I ask how you are addressed, young lady?"
"Qi Nuan".
Wei Qian could tell that the woman in front of him did not want to talk to them any further, so he did not ask any further questions.
The three of them then traveled together.
Qi Nuan could tell that Ji Yueling relied heavily on Wei Qian, and that Wei Qian made all the decisions for the group along the way.
Qi Nuan followed them closely behind, as if she were invisible.
Although they were grateful to Qi Nuan for saving them, they were not without their own precautions and remained wary of her throughout the journey.
Because of Qi Nuan's presence, they didn't talk much on the way.
Qi Nuan was certainly aware of their precautions.
But she didn't care and had no intention of building a good relationship with them.
Their only goal is to become stronger; they no longer care about anything else.
The endless yellow sand can be quite unsettling.
Ji Yueling, who was ethereal and fairy-like at the beginning, is now in a very disheveled state.
Even though they don't need to eat and have cleaning abilities, excessively vast spaces are most likely to cause despair in humans.
Only by constantly moving forward can we succeed.
They had lost track of how long they had been inside the secret realm.
Soon, they discovered something unusual ahead.
The three of them were secretly pleased. They were not afraid of danger, but they were afraid of things remaining unchanged.
Qi Nuan's eyes were glazed, her ears twitched slightly, and a bow and arrow suddenly materialized in her hand.
Is it finally coming?
Wei Qian and Ji Lingyue also took out their weapons at the same time.
Upon seeing the bow and arrow in Qi Nuan's hand, Wei Qian's eyes narrowed slightly. This was...
Who exactly is she?
But before he could think any further, Qi Nuan leaped into the swirling sandstorm and quickly disappeared from sight.
Amidst the sandstorm, Qi Nuan stared intently at the enormous monster before her. With a flick of her right hand, a purple arrow gleaming with an eerie light struck the monster.
The monster then let out a roar that echoed through the sky.
Qi Nuan didn't give it time to react, leaping closer and firing arrows incessantly.
Thousands of purple lights passed by the monster.
When Wei Qian and Ji Yueling arrived, they saw Qi Nuan fighting with the monster.
Looking at the enormous, dragon-like but not quite dragon-like monster in front of her, Ji Yueling couldn't help but feel afraid.
"Senior brother..."
What's this?
Why is this monster not recorded in the manual given to them by the sect?
Wei Qian gritted his teeth and hardened his heart as he looked at Qi Nuan, who was entangled with the monster.
"superior……"
After saying that, he leaped up, and Ji Yueling had no choice but to catch up.
Qi Nuan, who was fighting the monster, was not having an easy time. Her cultivation level was suppressed too low, making it very difficult for her to fight this monster.
but……
Qi Nuan's brows furrowed.
She yelled at the two people who were flying towards her, "Get out of the way."
Upon hearing her words, Wei Qian dodged in time, but Ji Yueling was not so lucky. A bolt of lightning shot from the monster's eye and struck Ji Yueling.
Ji Yueling was instantly knocked to the ground, kicking up clouds of yellow sand.
"Junior sister..."
Wei Qian shouted and flew to Ji Yueling's side.
Qi Nuan was not distracted; she focused her attention solely on the monster in front of her.
She suddenly rose into the air, replaced her bow and arrow with a flaming dagger, and then plunged downwards.
The monster sensed the danger and tried to escape, but was slashed by the dagger.
From beginning to end.
The dagger struck the monster with a thunderous sound and bursts of fire.
But the monster did not die.
Instead, it began to twist its body wildly.
Painful screams and billowing yellow sand echoed endlessly in the air.
A moment later, both the monster and Qi Nuan disappeared from sight.
Wei Qian fed the pill to Ji Yueling. Fortunately, Ji Yueling was unharmed, but when Wei Qian looked up, he could no longer see the monster or Qi Nuan.
Meanwhile, Qi Nuan was taken to the monster's lair.
And that was Qi Nuan's purpose.
Qi Nuan no longer held back.
The dagger plunged downwards, piercing through the monster's body along with Qi Nuan. The monster collapsed to the ground, its body rising and falling, constantly spewing out clouds of white mist.
Its eyes were fixed on Qi Nuan's figure, as if they were human eyes. Qi Nuan was covered in blood, but she only glanced at it coldly.
He walked towards it with the dagger in hand, and with a forceful pull, the dagger pierced the monster's head. The monster let out a mournful cry and died completely.
Qi Nuan continued wielding the dagger, and after a moment, a black bead crackling with lightning fell into her hand.
Qi Nuan lowered her eyes, parted her lips slightly, and put the bead into her mouth.
The moment the bead entered her mouth, Qi Nuan's body trembled involuntarily, and an electric current seemed to flow through her body.
In a split second, she collapsed into the icy pool below.
A bone-chilling cold swept over her entire body.
Her bones felt frozen, making her want to swim out of the icy pool.
But on the contrary, she restrained her instincts.
She swam towards the depths of the icy pool until she reached its deepest point, where it was filled with ice blades. Qi Nuan then sat down to meditate amidst the ice blades.
The biting cold and the electric pain were slowly eroding her body, and then her mind.
Her tightly closed brows were furrowed together.
I don't know how much time passed.
Qi Nuan remained motionless in the icy pool, with only the bubbles constantly escaping from her mouth indicating that she was still alive.
After searching for a week without finding Qi Nuan, Wei Qian and Ji Yueling, who were in the yellow sand, decided to wait for Qi Nuan to appear.
However, after waiting for a long time without seeing her, they decided to leave. After all, they had only met Qi Nuan once. Although Qi Nuan had saved Wei Qian, they had already done enough by waiting for her here for three days.
Qi Nuan, still in the icy pool, was unaware of all this; she was absorbing the power of the spirit pearl.
Finally, the electric current in her body disappeared, and she opened her eyes. Even in the depths of the icy pool, her eyes were exceptionally bright and sharp.
