Chapter 26 Am I lost?
The woman in black looked at Lin Que lying on the ground and said in an icy tone, "What did you do?!"
However, the sound that came out this time was not as rough as the man's before, but as melodious as a nightingale's.
Lin Que wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly sat up, and angrily cursed at the woman, "Damn it! I kindly saved you, and this is how you treat me?"
"Not only did I get dragged into this mess, but my kindness was also met with no reward!"
"I should have just left you to fend for yourself!"
"Pooh!"
He spat out another mouthful of blood.
Upon hearing Lin Que's words, the woman in black realized what was happening and checked her injuries. To her surprise, they were mostly healed! Moreover, her whole body felt warm.
His tone softened somewhat, but it still sounded a little cold.
What's going on with my mask and coat?
Lin Que spread his hands and explained, "I took it off to make it easier to heal you. You were wearing such thick black clothes, how could I circulate my qi for you? Besides, you had another layer of clothing underneath, what could I do?"
The woman in black clearly didn't believe it and said, "Wouldn't that mean they took off their masks as well?"
"How can I assess your injuries if I don't remove your mask?"
Of course, Lin Que would never say that he did this just to see what you looked like.
Then, both sides remained silent for a while.
"Gulu~~~"
A rumble came from the woman's stomach, and her face flushed slightly.
"Here, eat."
Lin Que picked up the roasted monster meat from the side and handed it to the woman.
"I'm not hungry!" the woman said stubbornly.
"Gulu~~~"
Lin Que said calmly, "Oh, since you're not hungry, then forget it, I won't be polite." After saying that, he made a move to put the skewer of grilled meat into his mouth.
"Wait...wait a minute!" The woman's expression was no longer cold; instead, she said somewhat nervously, "Give...give it to me!"
Okay, so he's getting all smug.
The woman took the grilled meat and started eating, but no matter how hungry she was, she ate slowly and carefully.
"It's truly a feast for the eyes," Lin Que remarked.
"After you've eaten, do as you please. I'm going to rest." After saying this, Lin Que ignored the woman's reaction, found a comfortable spot, lay down, and went to sleep.
The woman looked at Lin Que, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
After a while, he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, how did you heal me? I've never seen any kind of technique that can heal and restore others."
"Now that you've met," Lin Que said casually with his eyes closed. "Anyway, after tonight we'll go our separate ways. Consider it an act of kindness on my part in saving you today. There's no need for us to know each other that well."
That's a joke; how could I possibly tell you that?
Seeing Lin Que's perfunctory answer, which clearly indicated that he didn't want to tell her, the woman stopped asking and quietly finished her barbecue. Then she found a place to sit cross-legged and cultivate to recover.
......
The next morning, Lin Que stretched comfortably. The spiritual energy he had used to heal the woman the night before had finally been replenished after a night's rest.
"Hey! It's morning, time to..."
Just as Lin Que was about to wake the woman, he turned around and found that the cave was now empty.
It turned out that the woman had left early in the morning before Lin Que woke up. That was for the best, to avoid any trouble later.
Lin Que simply roasted the leftover monster meat from yesterday, ate his fill, and then left the cave, rushing towards the village without stopping. He wondered how worried that girl Lian Yue must be.
One hour later...
"This should be the road, right?" Lin Que muttered to himself.
Two hours later...
"It's definitely this one!" Lin Que was getting a little frantic.
Three hours later...
"Damn it! I... am lost???" Lin Que was dumbfounded!
I was completely dumbfounded. This was definitely the correct route when I came here yesterday, so why is it wrong?
Just as Lin Que was scratching his head in frustration, he suddenly sensed two auras clashing not far away, and both of them were so familiar.
"No way? I just saved you yesterday, and we're fighting again today?" Lin Que wondered if he should get closer to take a look. Anyway, he couldn't find the exit of the dense forest right now, so being careful shouldn't be a problem.
As Lin Que cautiously approached, he parted a patch of foliage and finally saw the scene ahead: the woman and Han Tianli. However, the woman had now reverted to her previous male attire of black clothing and had put her mask back on.
"Hand over the Resurrection Grass now! I might consider leaving you a whole corpse!" Han Tianli's hoarse and gloomy voice rang out.
"Hmph!" the woman sneered. "You're like a persistent ghost. Come and take it if you dare!"
"You forced me to do this! Unleash the Hundred Ghosts Banner!" With that, Han Tianli summoned a banner with a ghostly face on it.
"Watch me capture you and refine you into my little devil within this banner!"
The Hundred Ghosts Banner floated into the air, instantly releasing many spirits and ghosts that flew towards the woman.
"Ice and Snow!" the woman shouted. She formed a hand seal, and the temperature in the sky plummeted, causing snowflakes to appear.
In an instant, the area around the woman became a world of ice and snow, and the ghosts rushing towards her were all frozen in place!
"What?!" Han Tianli's eyes widened. A technique that could freeze even a ghost was definitely not simple. Instantly, he seemed to have thought of something and asked the woman.
"What is your relationship with the Qingyue Immortal Palace?!"
The woman said coldly, "Why should I tell you!"
Han Tianli's expression was gloomy, as if he was struggling with something, but he soon made up his mind and said, "Fine! Fine! Fine! Since you are from Qingyue Immortal Palace, then we can't let you live any longer!"
"Suffer to death!"
In a flash, Han Tianli appeared beside the woman and struck her with a palm!
The woman was startled! Han Tianli was too fast. It seemed that his injuries had almost recovered. She didn't have time to think and hurriedly defended against the incoming palm strike.
"puff!"
The woman was knocked back into the air by a palm strike, spitting out a mouthful of blood; she was seriously injured.
The power of this palm strike was considerable, and the woman's cultivation method was not suited for close combat, so she only managed to block half of its power.
Fortunately, the woman was not unprepared. She made a snap of her fingers in mid-air, and Han Tianli, who had been standing still, suddenly seemed to sense something and quickly retreated. Suddenly, many ice spikes condensed where he was and shot towards him.
Unfortunately, Han Tianli sensed it in advance, and most of the ice spikes that were coming at him were blocked by him with a wave of his sleeve. Only a few grazed his body, and the damage they caused was negligible.
"Kid! Let's see what other tricks you have up your sleeve..."
Before Han Tianli could finish speaking, he saw the woman's eyes turn sharp, and a giant ice pillar shot up from where he stood, freezing him inside.
"Soul of Ice!"
The woman slowly uttered three words...
