Ning Cheng carried Yan Ji on his back and took Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong with him as he left Jian San Shan’s cave and returned to the Dao Seeking Rest Inn once again.
The first thing he did when he returned to the Rest Inn was to wake Yan Ji up.
The only thing that did not damage a cultivator’s body to make a cultivator whose roots had been fatally damaged wake up was the Five Elements Heavenly Fruit.
In order to prevent others from disturbing Yan Ji’s awakening, Ning Cheng deliberately added several prohibitions to the room, and instructed Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong to refuse visiting guests.
The Five Elemental Heavenly Fruits were milky white in colour and gave off a faint fragrance. Ning Cheng opened the jade box, took out a Five Elements Heavenly Fruit, and raised his hand to land a Clear Water trick on the Five Elements Heavenly Fruit.
I am afraid that Ning Cheng was the only one who had to use a Qing Shui trick to cleanse himself after eating a Dao fruit. Anyone else would never use the Qing Shui Skill to clean the Dao Fruits.
When the Qing Shui Skill landed on the Five Elements Dao Fruit, a faint divine thought imprint was immediately pounced on by Ning Cheng’s divine thought. Ning Cheng was shocked in his heart, as he had cleaned the Dao Fruits merely as a habit. If he had eaten it himself, it wouldn’t have mattered, after all, this Dao fruit was for Yan Ji to eat.
However, he had not expected that there was still a faint layer of divine thought imprint on this Dao fruit. If he hadn’t used the Qing Shui trick for clarity, it would have been really difficult for him to discover this divine thought imprint. Ning Cheng’s face turned a little ugly, no matter if the divine thought mark on this Dao fruit was made by Jing Han or not, it had something to do with him.
This divine thought imprint was simply impossible to pounce on, if it wasn’t for his strong divine sense and the fact that he had rolled the Qing Shui trick to land on the Dao fruit, he would definitely have overlooked it if he wasn’t careful for a moment.
Ning Cheng raised his hand and rolled up this faint divine thought mark and sealed it in a jade box. He then took out another Dao fruit, and sure enough, in this other Dao fruit, Ning Cheng once again found an extremely faint divine thought imprint.
After sealing the two weak divine thought imprints in the jade box, Ning Cheng’s divine sense searched the two Five Elemental Heavenly Fruits for another half a day. Only when he was sure that there was nothing wrong with them did he break one of them open into Yan Ji’s mouth.
The Dao Fruits melted away into a fragrant fruit liquid as soon as it entered his mouth.
One of the Five Elements Heavenly Fruits was quickly taken by Yan Ji. Yan Ji remained in a deep sleep. Ning Cheng did not take out a second Dao Fruit for Yan Ji to take and just sat quietly beside him.
If this one Five Elemental Heavenly Fruit could not make Yan Ji wake up. If he gave more Five Elemental Heavenly Fruits to Yan Ji to take, it would still be in vain.
As time passed in silent waiting, Ning Cheng gazed at Yan Ji’s clear and elegant, yet slightly pale face, and what came to his mind was the scene of his first meeting with Yan Ji.
It was on the way to the Rule Road, when the XuanDan cultivator Que Penghai wanted to take the opportunity to finish him off and ingratiate himself with Nalan Ruxue. At that time, it was Yan Ji, whom he did not even know, who stood out. He stopped Que Penghai.
Nalan Ruxue was completely puzzled by Yan Ji standing up to help him, and even spoke up to tell Yan Ji not to meddle in his affairs. And Yan Ji’s words, he remembered clearly even now, “…… Everyone’s eyes represent the window of their heart, although it’s the same thing, it’s just that we see different things.”
After that, she invited a cultivator of her own who only had a fourth level of cultivation in Yuan building to join her squad. She did so in a way that the whole squad did not understand, but she still did so.
After he landed on Blood River Mountain. Without hesitation, Yan Ji followed and rushed into the Blood River, trying to save him, only to fall into the bottom of the Blood River as well. At that time. He had merely known her, or had merely saved her once on the Blood River Mountain.
After he saved her and Xiang Zhi Lan from the bottom of the Blood River, just because he didn’t get out himself, she jumped down the Blood River once more and ended up lost at the bottom of the Blood River. Ning Cheng had seen many people who were ungrateful or did not take things like kindness to heart, but a woman like Yan Ji, who had only a drop of kindness, never forgot to repay it and even took the initiative to jump into the bottom of the Blood River, where she was sure to die, several times. This was the first time he had ever met one.
After walking out of the rule path, he was chased by the three major forces. When her sister, Yan Yue, tried to kill him, she simply said one thing. “Whoever touches him, I will kill.”
At that time, her sanity had not yet been restored. Saying those words was merely an obsession in her heart.
In order to find herself, she travelled from the Le Continent to the Heavenly Continent. From the Celestial Continent to the stars, and from the stars across the realms ……
She was frantically desperate to cultivate, and pills, no matter how good or bad, could be eaten as long as they could raise her cultivation. If he hadn’t met Nalan Ruxue, he wouldn’t have known that Yan Ji just wanted to raise her cultivation early and go back to find him again.
She had agreed to wash the spirit just to bring a message to Nalan Ru Xue. Although Shui Yue Ke, who told him about it, did not know what the news was, Ning Cheng guessed that the news would have something to do with him as well.
Ning Cheng looked down at Yan Ji and suddenly felt that he owed this woman too much. What he had done for her was merely to take care of her for a period of time in the Rule Road.
Ning Cheng’s thoughts grew farther and farther away as he gently picked up Yan Ji and lowered his head, just to gaze closer ……
……
All around was darkness, Yan Ji was hiding in a corner of the darkness, she felt a little cold. She couldn’t see light, couldn’t see anything, there was only darkness, and the darkness was filled with cold, deadly intent.
She didn’t know how long she had been hiding in this dark corner. She tried to force her way out, but her body felt as if it was frozen, unable to move a single inch.
Gradually the darkness grew darker and darker, even oppressing her soul. Her breathing felt difficult and she had only one thought, was she going to die?
In this moment of dying, she tried hard to remember something good, tried hard to think of something more to long for before she died. But she was never able to remember anything, only one name kept lingering in her consciousness, and she forgot everything but that name.
Ning Cheng, that’s right, Ning Cheng was very important to her. Why was it important, yet her mind could not stretch out, it could only be bound to these two words.
She kept thinking about these two words, and suddenly these two words were about to fly away from her eyes, and her memory gradually blurred. Her heart was anxious, this seemed to be the only thing she could remember, and if both words disappeared from her memory, her consciousness and soul would be equally gone. She struggled, trying to hold on to the only thing she could remember.
Just then, a bright light emanated from the two words that were to fly away. The light gradually dispersed the darkness around her, and she could see clearly.
The bright light grew in scope, and her memories, like the bright light, were slowly spreading and seemed to slowly grow in number.
Her soon-to-be-dissipated world also became clear because of this bright light, and surprisingly, there was an extra glimmer of life in her heart.
She struggled to keep her eyes open, she must not let this chance disappear.
The memory became clearer and clearer, Ning Cheng’s image became clearer and clearer. Her strong perseverance to survive and Ning Cheng’s name made her finally open her eyes, and she saw what she remembered Ning Cheng to be like.
“I finally saw you …… I said that when I saw you again, I would say that I would marry you ……” Yan Ji’s voice was tinged with a hint of hoarseness as she stared into Ning Cheng’s eyes, her head slightly raised and kissed Ning Cheng’s lowered lips.
Just as his lips touched, Yan Ji closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
“Yan Ji, you’re awake?” Ning Cheng asked out in surprise, just as he lowered his head, Yan Ji opened his eyes. This was to say that the Five Elements Heavenly Fruit was truly useful and had allowed Yan Ji to wake up.
While Yan Ji sank back to sleep once again, Ning Cheng was relieved in his heart. Yan Ji was not sinking past this time, but was sleeping through and would wake up again soon.
“Thank you, Yan Ji.” Ning Cheng once again lowered his head and kissed Yan Ji on the lips. He knew that just now Yan Ji was not really aware of his presence, it should just be a subconscious act or thought that she had seen herself in her dream.
Ning Cheng was right in guessing that Yan Ji had indeed thought that she had seen him in her dream. After she had fallen asleep again, her consciousness had clearly revealed Ning Cheng’s appearance.
I had heard that before dying, one would see the person one wanted to see the most.
No, her personal feeling was so real, and she had actually touched Ning Cheng. Was that not a dream?
Yan Ji struggled to open her eyes again, she finally saw Ning Cheng for real, and this time, her consciousness was incredibly clear.
“Ning Cheng, is it really you? It’s really ……” Yan Ji’s tone was still a little hoarse, with a hint of trembling. Without finishing a sentence, more mist appeared in the corners of her eyes, and Ning Cheng’s figure instantly blurred. Yan Ji’s heart was in a great hurry, she wanted to reach out her hand to wipe away the blur in the corner of her eyes, only her hand could not move at all.
Ning Cheng lifted his hand and gently wiped the tears away from the corners of Yan Ji’s eyes, “Senior sister Ji, no one will dare to wash their spirits on you again ……”
“Woo ……” Yan Ji finally affirmed that the one in front of her was Ning Cheng, and she really lay in Ning Cheng’s arms, unable to contain the loneliness in her heart any longer as tears rained down.
She had never thought that she would cry so much one day, she was independent in character and had never suffered alone. She had met too many dangers on her own, and had seen too many life and death events, so many that she could face death with a heart as calm as water.
But now she could not hold back the sadness in her heart, perhaps not sadness, but happiness from the depths of her heart, a joy beyond words.
Ning Cheng gently wiped away the tears at the corners of Yan Ji’s eyes again, “When this side of the matter is over, I will take you back with me to see Luo Fei ……”
Yan Ji opened her eyes wide and looked at Ning Cheng, at this moment, everything she had experienced had an answer. Her body also gained some more strength, and she subconsciously tried to raise her hand.
Feeling Yan Ji’s body getting softer and softer, Ning Cheng knew that Yan Ji was gradually recovering. Although she was still unable to cultivate, he believed that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely be able to find the Qi Xing Golden Hidden Leaf for her.
Yan Ji’s hand finally lifted up and backhanded Ning Cheng gently as she felt a strong and powerful heartbeat. Her face was a little warm, this was the first time she had ever hugged a man when she was conscious. This feeling gave her a sense of stability and peace.
