Chapter 653: Chapter 323 Considerate_2

On his body, there lay a paradoxical unity.

He was tall and slim, measuring at one meter eighty-two, but not particularly bulky, on the lean side. Unlike the similarly tall Wan Dazhong, who looked every bit the robust general, his facial features were handsome yet rugged. Unlike Father Jiang’s valiant and handsome appearance, there was also a touch of scholarly elegance to him. He possessed the generous openness of a military officer, as well as the elegance and restraint of an aristocratic family’s son. Especially his eyes, they were both piercingly insightful and seemingly able to embrace everything with calmness. This might have been related to the family education he received and being a disciple to a high monk for over a decade.

Qian Yixiu liked to admire handsome men and stared blankly at him, thinking to herself that if it weren’t for Auntie Cui’s meddling, perhaps they would have been married next year. Actually, this man was really not bad. He had once helped her and her family a lot, he had talent, wealth, and looks, came from a good family, and was so considerate...

As she watched entranced and lost in thought, Liang Jinzhao looked up and asked, "How is it, feeling better?"

Seeing that Qian Yixiu did not respond, he asked again, "What’s wrong?"

Qian Yixiu, feeling guilty, blushed as red as the dawn, fully visible even under the starlight. She whispered, "Thank you."

Liang Jinzhao had been solely focused on warming up Qian Yixiu, helping her recover her senses as soon as possible. Now seeing Qian Yixiu’s face turn red, he recalled that he had been massaging from top to bottom the girl he had long adored and his face turned red as well.

He controlled his racing heart and smiled, "No need to thank me, just remember that you owe me a favor." He paused, then added, "Actually, I’ve been owing you a big favor. You helped me find the Spiritual Medicine, and only then could I become a general, go to the battlefield, and do what I enjoy. It’s been a tough journey to get here, and I now realize just how perilous this path has been. It must have been hard for you, thank you."

When he said "thank you," his hand unintentionally applied a little more pressure.

Qian Yixiu whispered softly, "You have helped me a lot in the past, too."

Liang Jinzhao said, "You were such a darling child, I... heh heh..."

As they spoke while massaging, Wu Ming had already gone to the mountainside to collect dry branches, piling them up to light a fire before them. He then built a rack with wood, hung a small pot on it, and started to heat some water. Wu Ming did these things while silently chanting "Amitabha." If not for wanting to warm up Qian Yixiu sooner, he would have preferred to build the fire far away from them.

By the time Liang Jinzhao finished massaging Qian Yixiu, and she was finally able to move, the water was already boiled. Liang Jinzhao poured her a bowl of the hot water, which she drank down, finally feeling revived.

After getting up and moving about, though her limbs were still quite stiff, she could barely walk. Limping, she rushed behind a huge rock on a distant mountainside. After relieving herself, she even felt that such sanitary products were inelegant to leave in a place as beautiful as the Immortal Realm, so she picked up a small stick, dug a small hole in the ground, and buried the item.

As she stood up, she saw a little squirrel with a big tail watching her from not far away. The little squirrel wore a small necklace and kept sniffing, it was the "Necklace Squirrel" she knew. She remembered that squirrels usually had a lifespan of only seven or eight years, and she first came here eight and a half years ago. Logically, this little squirrel should have passed away, yet it was still alive. Truly, Immortal Realm it was, even a little squirrel’s life was much extended here.

Seeing an old friend, Qian Yixiu was overjoyed. She bent down to pick up the little squirrel and walked towards Cave Sky Pool. Liang Jinzhao, Wu Ming, Shan Dian, and Yin Feng were sitting around the fire eating. When Liang Jinzhao saw her approaching, he put down his large bowl, picked up a smaller one, tore some bread into it, soaked it with boiling water, and handed the bowl to Qian Yixiu.

After eating, she looked up at the sky and saw that a crescent moon had already risen to its zenith.

By this time, it should be the latter part of the night.

Liang Jinzhao and Wu Ming both looked at Qian Yixiu and asked, "Where is the Dragon Ball?"

Qian Yixiu got up, limping toward the cave entrance where she had placed her backpack, removed the stone, and took out the bag.

She came back to the two men, took out a pouch from the bag, and drew out Zi Zhu.

Under the starlight, a pale purple pearl lay cradled in her white palm. The pearl was a size larger than a pigeon’s egg, round and lustrous, dazzlingly bright, with light patterns of golden lotus flowers shimmering through its pale purple hue.

Wu Ming brought his hands together in prayer and chanted, "Amitabha."

Liang Jinzhao knelt on one knee, gave a fist salute to Zi Zhu, and then he stood up. He said, "Yixiu, quickly put away the Dragon Ball. My master said whether Daqian can avoid war depends on whether it can be safely taken to the capital, presented by the next True Dragon Emperor to the former True Dragon Emperor."
