160: Chapter 160 Reunion with Jiang Wanwei

For Li Yuan, saving Luo Zhi was merely a way to repay her kindness.

Li Yuan was no villain; even with the Corpse Looting Technique, he had no desire to force others to their deaths.

With no grievances or grudges, he would neither help nor sabotage others needlessly.

As the days passed, Luo Zhi's body gradually recovered completely.

Once her full strength returned, she realized that Li Yuan's Physique was a bit too exceptional.

Previously, she had assumed she was only inferior to Li Yuan because her body was weakened by poison.

Now that she had recovered so much, she was still far inferior to Li Yuan.

The terrifying suppression of Red Moon Mountain firmly suppressed her cultivation Realm even after her body had recovered.

For ten consecutive days, the two of them lived together peacefully.

Luo Zhi, this young woman, had grown somewhat accustomed to relying on Li Yuan.

Despite her pretty and cute appearance, Luo Zhi was actually a very independent Martial Artist.

Among her peers, there seemed to be no one she could truly rely on.

At most, they would only cooperate with her.

But in front of Li Yuan, Luo Zhi felt a sense of dependence.

As they became more familiar, she would often lean against Li Yuan to rest after nightfall.

She couldn't be bothered with notions like propriety between men and women.

Luo Zhi's behavior, on the other hand, made Li Yuan even more uncomfortable.

Especially when certain soft parts of her pressed against him, Li Yuan didn't know how to react.

Furthermore, after Luo Zhi fell asleep, her hands liked to squeeze and pinch randomly.

Fortunately, the surroundings were pitch black, and with their cultivation Realm suppressed, their vision had also declined.

Unable to see each other's expressions, much embarrassment was avoided.

The two waited quietly for the crisis to pass, but on the night of the eighteenth day, a major change occurred.

People from Xingxue Valley found their hiding place.

The Vicious Beasts they brought with them had incredibly sensitive senses of smell.

While the two were searching for food and water nearby, they were targeted by these Vicious Beasts.

Li Yuan's powerful Physique allowed him to hear the movement in advance and discover the approaching Vicious Beasts.

The night vision of Vicious Beasts was far superior to that of humans.

Without the enhancement of their cultivation Realm, a Martial Artist's natural talent simply couldn't compare to those Vicious Beasts.

Li Yuan quickly woke Luo Zhi and lit the dry wood around them.

Running for their lives in the dark would be using their weaknesses to face the strengths of these Vicious Beasts.

The people from Xingxue Valley did not come forward; they too were afraid of encountering danger in the darkness.

They only sent the Vicious Beasts by their side to attack.

The flickering firelight was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

"We don't have much time. The people from Xingxue Valley will come quickly once they see the fire."

Li Yuan spoke as he thrust his sword toward a Vicious Beast.

Those profound Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques consumed too much energy and had low applicability at the moment.

This didn't affect Li Yuan much; thanks to the Corpse Looting Technique, he knew many Martial Skills.

Executing a set of basic sword techniques, he relied more on the strength of his own Physique to fight.

The Realms of the Vicious Beasts here were also suppressed.

Within just four moves, one Vicious Beast died at Li Yuan's hands.

The other Vicious Beast seemed frightened; looking at the sword in Li Yuan's hand, it didn't dare to step forward.

Luo Zhi's ability to cope was much worse.

Facing the attacks of two Vicious Beasts, let alone counterattacking, she found it difficult even to keep herself from getting injured.

After only a few moves, Luo Zhi began to pant with exhaustion.

The martial path she practiced consumed too much energy.

Suddenly, Li Yuan's sword appeared by her side to protect her.

The sword moves weren't exquisite, but they were more than enough to slay these Vicious Beasts.

There were four Vicious Beasts in total, and in just over twenty breaths, two were dead.

The remaining two Vicious Beasts didn't charge in to bite; these brutes actually had some brains.

It seemed they wanted to stall Li Yuan and Luo Zhi and wait for their masters to arrive.

When you advanced, they retreated; they just wanted to maintain this stalemate.

As they hesitated, a sword blade came from behind, piercing straight through one of the Vicious Beasts.

"Sister Wanwei!"

Luo Zhi's face was full of pleasant surprise; the newcomer was Jiang Wanwei, who was very close to her.

When the Python Vine crisis broke out, Jiang Wanwei had tried her best to save her, but at that moment, she simply couldn't manage it.

At that time, Jiang Wanwei had to exert great effort just to protect herself.

Her strength was among the best of the younger generation, but with her cultivation Realm suppressed, she still found it difficult to cope.

Jiang Wanwei didn't respond but stepped forward, pulling Luo Zhi to flee into the distance.

"Young Master Li, let's go together!"

Luo Zhi shouted; she knew very well that she couldn't have survived without Li Yuan.

Beside her, Jiang Wanwei's eyes were filled with vigilance.

Her wariness toward Li Yuan was no less than toward the Vicious Beasts nearby.

The only remaining Vicious Beast watched the three of them flee and didn't dare to pursue even in the darkness.

It seemed that Vicious Beasts being too smart wasn't necessarily a good thing.

On the contrary, the duller Vicious Beasts weren't so afraid of death.

Relying on a small fire starter, the three of them traveled quite a distance.

The treetops on the horizon began to glow as the curtain of night passed.

Only then did the three of them relax slightly and find a spot with a good view to rest.

Jiang Wanwei and Luo Zhi spoke in low voices, recounting what had happened over the past twenty days.

On the day the Python Vine crisis broke out, Jiang Wanwei had also been injured and poisoned.

She was luckier than Luo Zhi and hadn't been ensnared by the Python Vine's tendrils.

The toxins from the Python Vine had a limited effect on her.

Relying on her own abilities, Jiang Wanwei had made it through the crisis.

Once she had strength to spare, she began searching for Luo Zhi.

As long as she didn't see Luo Zhi's body, Jiang Wanwei held onto hope.

And today, she really did find her.

During their conversation, Luo Zhi mentioned a situation to Li Yuan.

When core members of their Sect like them were injured, the Life Tablets enshrined in the Sect would immediately show a reaction.

The elders of the Zhenhua Sect would soon resolve the threat posed by Xingxue Valley.

After Jiang Wanwei finished sharing her experiences, Luo Zhi also began to talk about the events of the last twenty days.

She listed one by one for Jiang Wanwei how Li Yuan had saved her and how much help he had given her.

As they talked, Jiang Wanwei pulled Luo Zhi aside to speak privately.

"Sister Zhi, you seem to place a bit too much trust in this Young Master Li?"

Jiang Wanwei's first sentence was a warning to Luo Zhi.

Previously, if Jiang Wanwei had given such a reminder, Luo Zhi would have simply nodded in agreement.

But now, Luo Zhi's elegant brows furrowed unconsciously.

"Sister Wanwei, Young Master Li Yuan saved me..."

"So? You plan to offer yourself to him in return?" Jiang Wanwei looked at Luo Zhi and questioned her.

Luo Zhi was stunned; hearing this, she didn't even subconsciously deny it.

"I think you've really been bewitched; your mind isn't clear at all."

Jiang Wanwei couldn't help but scold her, a look of worry appearing on her face.

She was worried that Luo Zhi was truly infatuated with Li Yuan and had lost her heart to such a young Martial Artist.

"Don't you think your encounter with him was a bit too coincidental?

When you encounter trouble, he's there to kindly warn you.

When you face a crisis, he just happens to come and save you."

In Jiang Wanwei's words, all of this was attributed to a conspiracy.

Indeed, on the Tianqiong Continent, there were too many young men who wanted to win their favor.

Even if they didn't end up as partners, even if the Zhenhua Sect ultimately disagreed, they would still provide a generous amount of resources as compensation before persuading the parties to separate.
