Chapter 588: Chapter 588 The Mountain After Fresh Rain_1

A night passed without a word. At some point, the rain stopped. A strand of sunshine fell, Cloud Mist Mountain no longer had its perennial cloud and miasma. A downpour had cleared it, creating an image of a clear mountain after fresh rain.

In the cave, the woman in grey woke up. As she opened her eyes, she found herself nestled closely with Su Chengyu, sleeping in each other’s arms.

She quickly pushed Su Chengyu away, revealing her face that was normally half-hidden by her bangs, adorned with two intersecting scars.

These two scars looked like a pair of centipedes, extremely ugly and even terrifying. They made the woman in the grey, who was supposed to look stunning, appear somewhat scary. No wonder she kept her bangs long, covering half of her face.

The woman in the grey quickly arranged her clothes and hair to hide her scars. She walked out of the cave and saw the rain had stopped. As the morning sun started to rise, the woman opened her arms and took a deep breath of fresh air.

A gust of wind blew over, exposing her scars. She gently touched them with her hand, a trace of bitterness flashed in her eyes.

She immediately returned to the cave, giving Su Chengyu three medicine pills and checking his pulse. Her eyes filled with surprise.

Su Chengyu’s injuries had improved significantly since yesterday. This wasn’t normal human recovery speed. Although his injuries are still severe, there was no longer any immediate threat to his life.

"He really is a lucky one," she thought.

The woman in grey prepared her equipment to leave the cave, planning to continue gathering herbs. After taking few steps, she paused, couldn’t bear to leave the unconscious Su Chengyu behind. She sighed, turned around, and returned.

"If I leave and some beast comes and eats you, I would feel guilty. Alright, I’ll wait till you wake up, then I’ll leave."

The woman in grey covered the entrance of the cave more thoroughly, deciding to stay and guard over Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu felt like he had a very long dream. His dream was a mess, surreal and absurd. He wanted to escape the dream but found himself hopelessly trapped.

In his dream, he was firmly held by countless ghost-like hands and was unable to struggle away. Later, these ghostly hands vanished, but he still couldn’t escape the dream.

After an unknown amount of time, his dream changed; he was back in the ancient tomb, seeing Lin Chuxue and Yu Yanshu.

Su Chengyu was excited and tightly embraced Lin Chuxue, shouting, "Chu Xue!"

However, the Man in Black appeared at that moment and took Lin Chuxue away from his arms. The Man in Black let out an evil laugh, Su Chengyu became frantic, he wanted to desperately confront the Man in Black but could never catch up to him.

"Chengyu, save me. Please save me."

Lin Chuxue kept crying out for help and stretching out her hand towards him. Yet no matter how hard Su Chengyu tried to catch up, he could only watch helplessly as Lin Chuxue was taken away by the Man in Black.

"No! Chu Xue!"

With bloodshot eyes, Su Chengyu growled angrily, he suddenly woke up from his dream, opening his eyes to reveal the dark cave.

The woman in the grey heard Su Chengyu repeatedly mumbling "Chu Xue, Chu Xue." She had been using a flashlight to keep an eye on him, took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat off his forehead. When he suddenly opened his eyes, it did startle her, and she quickly backed away.

Su Chengyu struggled to sit up, feeling a piercing pain throughout his body. His injuries were severe, most of his meridians were severed, and Dantian’s source of mana had almost run dry.

Su Chengyu saw the alarmed woman in grey next to him, he asked her hoarsely, "Who are you? Where am I?"

The woman in grey bit her lip without saying a word, placing her flashlight on the ground and using hand signs to converse.

Su Chengyu had been mute for over twenty years, so naturally, he was familiar with sign language. From the woman’s signs, he learnt the events that led to her being here.

Su Chengyu knew this woman in grey meant him no harm. He hurriedly took out a Heavenly Pill from the Cui Xia Ring, put it in his mouth, and while running the spell to digest the elixir and heal, he asked, "Where’s Yan’er?"

The woman in grey made a sign of confusion, Su Chengyu explained, "My apprentice. Did she go out?"

The woman in grey signed, "When I arrived at the cave last night, you were the only one here. I don’t know who your apprentice is, I’ve never seen her."

Su Chengyu frowned at this, he asked her what time it was, she took out her phone and showed him— it was past noon.

The woman in grey signed, "Maybe she saw that your injuries were severe and left you here and went away."

"Impossible! Yan’er would never abandon me! She absolutely wouldn’t! If it’s been more than ten hours since you entered the cave and Yan’er hasn’t returned yet, then something must have happened to her. I have to find her, Cloud Mist Mountain is too dangerous. It is too dangerous for Yan’er to be missing for so long."

Su Chengyu was full of anxiety and worry. Yan’er had been missing for over ten hours. That was definitely a serious matter.

But the moment he tried to move, pain flared from his injuries, he could not stand up. The woman in grey rushed over to soothe him, she signed, "You are injured. You should not move. There are many wild animals outside. It’s dangerous to go out."

Su Chengyu knew that his condition was seriously bad, the urgent task at the moment was to heal quickly and recover his strength so he could find Yu Yanshu.

Lin Chuxue was forcibly taken away, and now even Yan’er was missing. This was a huge blow to Su Chengyu. Both of them were the most important people in his life.

Su Chengyu sat cross-legged, swallowing another elixir. At the same time, he communicated with his Dragon Slayer Sword, asking about Yan’er’s whereabouts.

The Dragon Slayer Sword told Su Chengyu that since yesterday afternoon, after Yu Yanshu left the cave, she had not returned. Su Chengyu became even more anxious.

The woman in grey witnessing Su Chengyu miraculously conjuring an elixir and popping it into his mouth, was in awe, and the elixir in Su Chengyu’s hand exuded a strong scent.

The woman in grey knew it was a precious Spirit Pill, she thought, had I known you had it, I wouldn’t have been worried for your life.

The woman in grey lightly nudged Su Chengyu, and when he opened his eyes, she signed, "Since you’re alright, I’ll be going now."

"Thank you for taking care of me. Can I know your name? Could you leave your contact information? I’ll visit you to express my gratitude someday." Su Chengyu spoke.

The woman in grey waved her hand to indicate that there was no need to thank her. She then picked up her canvas bag, waved goodbye to Su Chengyu, and headed out of the cave.

Su Chengyu flicked a finger, leaving a seal on the woman in grey so that when he finds Yan’er, he could come back and thank her. He can at least treat her muteness and make her able to speak.

"Yan’er, you must be safe."

Su Chengyu was anxious and worried. If something happened to Yu Yanshu, he feared that he would go insane.
