Chapter 74 Chapter 74 The Fifth Wish
He Shile didn't comment on what he said, saying only, "I've heard things like you say many times before."
This didn't always happen, but He Shile had experienced ingratitude quite often. He Shile no longer felt sad about it, or even surprised.
"Since you knew it was me, why did you keep me around?" Ah Chuan sneered, "Now, you will pay the price for your arrogance."
Instead, Ah Chuan became even more emotional. He felt very embarrassed and angry when he thought about how he had been trying to please He Shi Le for two months while He Shi Le knew the truth.
The spiritual power fluctuations caused by their battle have attracted other people, and those from Xiancao Sect will probably come over soon.
They all sensed the presence of the Xiancao Sect. He had initially lured those Xiancao Sect members there. If He Shile engaged in a fight with them, he could reap the benefits. No matter how many died, he could still take advantage of the situation and obtain some inner elixirs. Unexpectedly, He Shile actually managed to escape, forcing Ah Chuan to show up and personally stop He Shile.
He Shile's spiritual energy had been exhausted, but he remained calm and composed. Ah Chuan sneered, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Practicing Taoism is also about cultivating the mind. After so many years, Ah Chuan, it seems you've never entered the right path."
Ah Chuan hated his condescending attitude the most, and his spiritual power suddenly became radical. The black fog was almost like a violent storm, and for a moment He Shile was like a paper boat swaying in the huge waves.
Chen Mu: "You angered him."
"Yes, I did it on purpose." He said that to disgust Achuan. If Achuan wasn't angry, he wouldn't have said it.
Ah Chuan had completely given up on the idea of letting He Shile perish along with the other members of the Immortal Grass Sect. He simply wanted to kill He Shile immediately. At this moment, He Shile suddenly said, "A Chuan, do you still have the talisman I gave you?"
Achuan was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly and hurriedly took out the talisman, but it was too late. The talisman burned in his palm, emitting a little blue flame, and then suddenly exploded, covering him completely.
Achuan suddenly fell to the ground powerlessly. He found that he had lost control of his spiritual power. His body was empty, as if even his bones, flesh and blood had been taken away, leaving only a thin skin.
"..." Achuan opened his mouth wide and glared angrily. He couldn't even speak.
A strong and surging spiritual energy came, and He Shiqing, dressed in white and green, came gracefully. He sat sideways on the spiritual beast, glanced at He Shile, and said leisurely, "Cousin, I didn't expect to see you here."
He Shile leaned against the tree trunk and smiled slightly: "A Qing, long time no see."
He Shiqing: "Last time I heard that you were injured by your elder brother, I was very sad. Now it seems that you are doing well."
He Shile: "Thanks to you."
He Shiqing: "The secret realm is a dangerous place. It's better for my cousin to leave as soon as possible."
He Shile: "I have my own plans."
The others also arrived and stood behind He Shiqing, each holding a magical weapon, their expressions solemn, forming a vast, dark cloud that looked extremely oppressive. He Shiqing was also a branch, but they were very close to the main family and had better access to more resources. He Shile and this cousin had only met a few times in family meetings and exchanged a few pleasantries. There was no deep hatred between them, but He Shiqing was also a candidate, so they were now in competition.
Achuan was stunned and looked at the two of them in disbelief. He Shile said that he had a grudge against Xiancao Sect, and Achuan believed it. But now, it is obvious that He Shile is also a member of Xiancao Sect, and this seemingly glorious leader is even his cousin.
He Shile has been lying to him all along. It's ridiculous. The real hypocritical ones are people like He Shile!
However, immediately afterwards, as he stared in disbelief, He Shiqing waved his hand, and branches from the ground grew wildly and twisted around He Shile. A ray of green light pierced through his chest without hesitation. Both of them were still smiling, and He Shiqing said condescendingly, "Cousin, you know this election is just to ensure that big brother can take that position legitimately. Why do you have to endure this hardship?"
He Shile didn't say anything, his body turned into a piece of wood. He Shiqing raised his eyebrows slightly. Puppetry was a common magic trick used by the family to make puppets with wood. He Shile's real body had disappeared long ago, but he didn't even notice that his cousin's strength was beyond his expectations... He Shiqing's face turned cold, and he took another look at Achuan lying on the ground unable to move. He killed him casually and continued to track He Shile.
…
"It's over." He Shile landed on a rock and bounced heavily, but he didn't even have the strength to move. "If I fall into He Shiqing's hands, he won't kill me, but I'm afraid he won't let me go either."
Even if He Shiqing didn't kill him, he would not be able to gain anything from this trip to the secret realm.
System 05: "He has a single spiritual root of the wood element and is closer to plants and trees than you. You must stay away from this forest and go to the nearest lake."
He Shile: "I'm hurt too badly..."
Not only his body, but his spirit was also extremely weak. The puppetry he just used was the last spell he could use. From now on, he could only lie here and wait for He Shiqing to find him. In this environment full of grass and trees, he didn't need to wait too long.
He Shile's head ached violently, his vision black, and he couldn't see clearly. He couldn't even muster simple disguises. He suddenly tilted his head. Was it the wind, or had He Shiqing arrived? He vaguely saw a figure. The figure stopped in front of him, and its delicate fragrance was like a drop of water falling on a calm lake, stirring up ripples.
The other party quickly leaned over and picked him up, then quickly left. During the rapid movement, He Shile completely lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he found himself in a cave. A figure was standing with her back to him. Her long black hair was tied behind her head, and it swayed with her movements. When she turned around, the red beads on her wrist collided, making a crisp sound.
He Shile saw a familiar face, clear and bright, like a dewdrop in the sun. His heart reacted faster than his brain, pounding, and the heat spread from his chest to his face. The surprise came so suddenly that he was speechless for a moment.
"You're awake." The girl was quite happy. She was holding a bowl of hot medicine in her hand. "How do you feel?"
He Shile stammered, "...Yeah."
The girl uttered a cry of pleasure. Seeing that his face was red and he was slow to react, she leaned a little closer and felt the heat on his body. "Do you have a fever?"
He Shile quickly said, "No... I feel fine, just a little hot."
"You should take the medicine first." The girl handed it to him. He Shile wanted to reach out to take it, but the girl said, "You just woke up and your strength hasn't recovered yet."
Under He Shile's horrified and ashamed gaze, the girl poured the medicine into his mouth. However, the medicine was extremely bitter, almost like throwing him into the coptis juice and rolling him around. Then she picked him up and twisted his body. He Shile calmed down a little. After drinking it, he couldn't wait to ask, "You saved me?"
"Yeah." The girl put it away and said nonchalantly, "You've been unconscious for three days, and those people are still looking for you."
"Where is this?"
"The cave at the bottom of the lake. They can't find you in the water."
The place where he was now was dry and he could breathe fresh air, but there were bursts of dull water sounds in his ears and his heart was beating very hard. It must be the cave at the bottom of the lake.
"Why did you save me?"
The girl explained, "Because you helped me before... Oh, you might not remember me. I was at the inn in Xiancao City. The situation was urgent at the time, and I couldn't thank you. It just so happened that we ran into each other..."
"No, I remember!" He Shile's reaction was a bit exaggerated. The girl gave him a strange look. He Shile lowered his voice and asked again, "Last time I was attacked by the black fog, was it you who saved me?"
"Yes." The girl said softly, almost talking to herself: "Even if I had repaid the favor last time, but I just happened to meet you this time, I can't just ignore it..."
"Just because I helped you once?"
The girl raised her head, as if what he said was very strange. She did not answer the question again, but said: "You were injured so badly that I almost thought you were going to die. I still need some ingredients to make medicine. Please wait, I will be out for a while."
He Shile quickly asked, "Where's the spirit bead from last time?"
"What spirit bead?"
"I'll give it to you..." He Shile thought that saying this might make the other party angry, so he changed his words: "The one we fought over last time by the lake, it should be very effective for my current injury."
"What are you talking about? I have never fought with you for the spirit pearl."
He Shile opened his mouth: "But..."
"You're such a weird person, talking nonsense." The girl shook her head and forgave him very tolerantly: "I'm leaving first. You stay here to recover. Don't worry, they won't be able to find you."
"Wait!" He Shile stopped her and asked, "Um..."
He said in his heart that he must not act too stupid, too reckless, too rough, like a fool, but his heart was not listening to him, and his mouth also had its own ideas: "Please, how should I address you, young lady?"
"Just call me Hongzhu." Hongzhu waved at him, left the cave, and disappeared into the water like a fish.
Hongzhu, Hongzhu... He Shile silently repeated the name in his heart.
Chen Mu suddenly said: "Do you like her?"
He Shile: "Ahem, ahem! Senior!"
Chen Mu: "You don't have to hide anything from us. Do you like her?"
He Shile: “…Yes.”
Chen Mu: "What do you like about her?"
He Shile did not answer. This matter was simple to explain, but also very complicated. He could not give an answer for the moment.
From the moment he saw the white lotus, he was tempted by worldly desires.
Then, Chen Mu asked again: "Which one do you like?"
