After waiting for a while, Shen Xiao covered the black veil again and took his pulse. After confirming that his pulse was normal and that there were no signs of a fever, Shen Xiao stood up and walked to the side. She collected some weeds and branches and lit a fire. After that, she sat down and leaned against the pillar with her eyes closed.
Although he could go without eating or sleeping for a long time after reaching the Innate Realm, it did not mean that he had to torture himself. There were so many good things in this world that he could enjoy. Why should he suffer? He did not know what others were thinking, but he knew that Shen Xiao should do whatever she wanted. She should eat when she was hungry, and sleep when she was tired. There was no need to make things difficult for her own body!
After an unknown period of time, the flames gradually weakened. A slight breeze blew in from outside the ruined temple, hitting the flames. In this ruined temple, it gave people a cold and gloomy feeling. At this moment, a black shadow flashed past. A cold blade slashed across the darkness, its sharp edge going straight for the throat of the sleeping person without mercy.
Ding!
"Woo!" The moment the cold blade of the righteous path pierced his throat, the hand of the sleeping person had already arrived beside the sword. With a light flick of his fingertip, the sword body rang out and trembled violently. The web between his thumb and forefinger shook violently. With a muffled groan, it was actually a female voice. Under the mask, Shen Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. His body moved, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared beside the person. He held his waist with one hand and his neck with the other.
"Is this how you treat your savior?？？”Feeling the softness in his embrace, he felt a strange fragrance. It was like orchids, but not orchids, and it was not like it was Musk. He remembered this smell, and he was also familiar with this voice and figure. It was Mu Wanqing, whom he had saved before. He did not expect that the person who attacked him in the middle of the night would be her. He thought that those little rascals had come back and killed him, so he did not hold back. This caused Mu Wanqing's hand that was holding the sword to feel pain. She could not help but groan, and only then did he know that it was Mu Wanqing.
"You…let go of me!" Ever since she was young, she had only lived in seclusion with her master in the secluded valley. Her master had told her that all men in the world were fickle, so she had to wear a veil. In her heart, there was also a kind of hatred for men. Why did they hurt her master? Why did they make her need to wear a veil to live? However, she did not expect to be held in a man's arms today. She kept trying to break free.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Clang!
"Humph!" When Shen Xiao saw this, she laughed lightly and used a little strength to help Mu Wanqing up. Then, she took a step back. However, at that moment, Mu Wanqing stretched out her hand, and the sound of air being torn rang out. Three silver lights shot across the night sky. Shen Xiao saw this and knew what this woman was thinking. That light laugh was laughing at her cuteness and naivety.
The crystal flute in her hand moved and swept three sleeve arrows at the same time. The three silver lights flew to the side and directly pierced into the Buddha statue. There were three small holes. Mu Wanqing was shocked when she saw this. It was easy for her sleeve arrows to pierce into a human body, but when it hit trees, stones and other things, it could only be nailed into them. It was impossible to completely pierce through them. The only explanation was that the martial arts of this person was too high. The sleeve arrows changed direction. Not only did it change its direction, but its power had also multiplied.
" What other tricks??" Looking at the slightly surprised Mu Wanqing, Shen Xiao twirled his flute and said with a teasing tone. He knew that other than using a sword and some basic martial arts, Mu Wanqing's greatest secret weapon was the sleeve arrows. That was why he asked this question on purpose. He wanted to see what she wanted to do to him.
"You…you pervert! What did you do to me? Also…did you remove my veil before?”Seeing how powerful Shen Xiao's martial arts were, Mu Wanqing temporarily suppressed the impulse in her heart and asked coldly. When she woke up, Mu Wanqing realized that she was in a ruined temple and started to recall what had happened.
She quickly remembered that she had gone to assassinate the bad woman that her master had mentioned. Who would have thought that she would be hunted down instead? After a few days, she had escaped to the bamboo forest, but she was still caught. Helpless, she could only fight. Later, she was injured. She remembered that someone had saved her at that time, but because she was injured, she fainted after holding on for a while under the sound wave of the Blue Sea Tide. Therefore, she did not see the person who saved her.
At that moment, Mu Wanqing also realized that she had been torn apart. If not for the black cloth wrapping around her, her entire shoulder would have been exposed. Moreover, her bamboo hat had been taken off. This made her immediately think that someone had taken off his veil. Then, she saw Shen Xiao sleeping against the pillar through the light of the fire.
Looking at the ice mask that covered her face, under the illumination of the flames, it looked even more ferocious and terrifying. At first, she was shocked, but it was quickly covered up by another wave of anger. She did not know if this person had seen her face, but she would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. Otherwise, if her master knew about it, he would definitely commit suicide in front of her. Thinking of this, Mu Wanqing did not hesitate. Her killing intent surged and she stabbed her sword at Shen Xiao.
"What have you done? What do you want me to do? As for your veil, so what if you took it off?？”Hearing Mu Wanqing's question, Shen Xiao's tone was friendly. He did not like being questioned by others, and no one in the world could question him like that. Moreover, he was not very comfortable. So what if she was a beauty? He had saved her and she did not even thank him. She even had the intention to kill him. It was already good enough that she did not kill him.
"You…So you've seen my face! Isn't that right?" However, Mu Wanqing clearly did not care about the change in Shen Xiao's emotions. She even ignored Shen Xiao's aura as she glared at Shen Xiao with anger in her eyes. This surprised Shen Xiao. In the martial world, there were not many people who could withstand his aura, but they were undoubtedly not top-notch experts. Mu Wanqing, who was only at the middle stage of the second-rate, could actually ignore him.
However, Shen Xiao quickly understood that it was not that Mu Wanqing was hiding her strength, but…at that moment, there was an abnormal emotion in her heart. It was an abnormal emotion of anger, and it even made her forget to be afraid. When she met those eyes that were filled with anger, Shen Xiao was slightly surprised.
