“Ah ……” This time it was Di Jiu’s turn to be shocked, he didn’t yet have the concept of a proposal or even a relationship. For him, the only purpose of coming out was to find out what that thing was that he couldn’t remember. Because that thing affected his survival, he had to think about it.
That was why Cao Xie suddenly said this, and he let out a startled ah, completely caught off guard.
Cao Xie smiled, her gaze looked deep into the Heavenly Wasteland area as she said quietly, “I should still have a few days to live, I actually didn’t expect that someone would propose to me before I died ……”
Cao Xi said as if he was unaware of Di Jiu’s stunned expression, still speaking to himself, “When I was very young, I saw the hustle and bustle of other people getting married in my village, and I had some yearning in my heart that maybe one day, I could be like that beautiful bride. But when I was seven years old, my aunt took me away from that mountain village ……”
“Your aunt?” Di Jiu looked at Cao Xie in confusion.
Cao Xi remained unconcerned to Di Jiu’s question, “My parents have not been around for as long as I can remember, they are vague in my memory. I was brought up by my aunt when I was a child. I never understood why my aunt would throw away her stable life and take me away from that mountain village to run around for a living. It’s like I didn’t understand why, after we left that mountain village, my aunt told me never to take my veil off unless I was planning to die.”
Speaking of this, Cao Xie finally smiled sweetly at Di Jiu, “Then I understood that if I didn’t wear the veil all the time, maybe I would have died many times. Even with the veil, after I got a bit older again, I could only choose to leave my aunt and sneak to the Heavenly Desolate District to survive. My aunt should have known what I was thinking, and she did not seek me out. She said that I was different from others, that I came into this world destined to live a life of loneliness and misery, destined to be bullied for a lifetime. Because my aunt said that in this world, no one could protect me forever. Once I appear in the sight of others, I will attract a group of ferocious people ……”
Di Jiu came down gloomily, he understood what Cao Xi meant. He was a person who would not care at all about a girl’s ugliness and beauty, and also felt that there was no way to describe Cao Xi’s beauty. A beautiful woman like Cao Xi, even if she was young, would not be able to survive in a small mountain village, I’m afraid. Her aunt must have sensed the beginnings of this, which was why she had fled the original small mountain village with Cao Xi without hesitation.
Cao Xi reached out and caressed Di Jiu’s face, “Thank you, Ah Jiu. Thank you for asking me to marry you, otherwise I wouldn’t feel happy even if I died. I would have been unhappy to be seen by you while you were a person who had nothing to do with me. But now, I no longer feel unhappy, we are no longer outsiders ……”
Cao Xi’s gaze once again moved away from Di Jiu and landed again in the depths of the vast and boundless Heavenly Wasteland area, “I think I should go where I should go, I always feel that the place I should go is not here, that is far, far away, I can soon pa*s by, still alone, Auntie is right… …”
A feeling of guilt welled up in Di Jiu’s heart, it wasn’t that he didn’t like Cao Xi, but that he had no concept or idea of male/female love right now. But Cao Xi knew full well that he wasn’t asking her to marry him, yet he had to deceive her about himself.
Just like him, he had come to the Heavenly Wasteland to find the one answer in his heart. What about Cao Xie? Maybe she just needed to know that someone had proposed to her before she died.
Di Jiu put Cao Xi down, he went to a flower bush not far away, picked some flowers, knitted a hat with his hands and went to Cao Xi and knelt down on one knee, “Cao Xi, I, Di Jiu, sincerely propose to you, I just hope you won’t say that I am not good enough for you. From today onwards, I, Di Jiu, will never let you suffer a bit. From today onwards, I, Di Jiu, will never leave you alone. From today onwards, I, Di Jiu, will walk with you through your life and only like you for one ……”
Di Jiu’s words suddenly stopped as an extremely absurd thought suddenly occurred to him, that is, he already had a wife.
If it were someone else, I’m afraid I would just think about it and forget about it. But Di Jiu felt that it should be true that he had a wife, just as if he somehow knew the Five Yin and Six Yang Hands, and somehow that curtain of swords would pop up, and the cultivation method that suddenly appeared in his mind ……
It was all so absurd that it had a real existence.
Almost as soon as Di Jiu paused, Cao Xie’s hand stopped Di Jiu’s mouth and gestured, “I’ll be there soon, you can’t just like me. Maybe one day, you’ll be luckier and still be able to get out of the Heavenly Desolate Zone. I’ve long been used to being alone, you don’t have to care or accommodate me ……”
“Senior Sister Cao, I can undo the poison you’ve been poisoned with.” Di Jiu finally said the words once again.
Cao Xie stared at Di Jiu for a few breaths before saying, “Ah Jiu, do you know how difficult it is to cure the poison in the Heavenly Desolate Region? Even Professor Peike, the world’s most powerful medical expert in detoxification, detoxification is still a matter of chance ……”
Di Jiu grabbed out his own golden needle, smiled and said, “I know, but I am not Peck, he can’t cure the poison you have, but I can.”
Cao Xie looked at Di Jiu’s sure and confident thoughtful eyes, and there was actually a hint of panic in her heart. It was a while before she said, “You can help me to solve it, no need to force it, I can actually see it quite openly.”
This was not a half-baked statement from Cao Xie, in fact she had been looking at it very openly since she came to the Heavenly Desolate District. Because of her looks, she was not destined to be able to live like ordinary people.
Di Jiu nodded and laid Cao Xi down flat.
Once Cao Xi was lying flat on the boulder, Di Jiu was instead a little caught off guard. It was true that Cao Xi was not clothed, but even if he was not clothed, he could still cover part of his body. Now he had to take off Cao Xi’s outer clothes if he wanted to apply the needles. Administering needles through his clothes, at least he did not have the ability to do so now.
Seemingly sensing Di Jiu’s entanglement and difficulty, Cao Xi simply closed her eyes, she did not ask Di Jiu to do it, nor did she say that she would not do it.
Di Jiu looked at Cao Xi who had closed her eyes, it was like the most beautiful flower in the world, serene with a kind of pride that was proud of the world.
Di Jiu breathed out, no matter what, he could not leave Cao Xi behind. If a woman like Cao Xi was willing to marry him, it was his destiny.
Thinking of this, Di Jiu did not hesitate anymore and reached out to untie Cao Xi’s blouse, and the next moment the golden needles in his hand fell on Cao Xi’s body like rain.
Cao Xie felt an unprecedented tiredness coming over her, and she couldn’t help but close her eyes and drift off to sleep.
Although Di Jiu was still seriously injured and the wounds in many places had not even healed completely, he always felt that the speed and accuracy of his needles had improved by more than one level compared to when he was at Jinhai Hospital. It was evident that he had improved a lot of things since he came to the Heavenly Wasteland District.
In just twenty minutes, Di Jiu cut open Cao Xi’s finger and a drop of dark blood dripped down. Di Jiu grabbed a small gla*s bottle from his backpack and poured the liquid from the bottle into Cao Xi’s mouth, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, Cao Xi’s poison was no less severe than that of the martial artist he had saved, but since Cao Xi had not been poisoned long ago, and the type of poisoning they had suffered was different, it was much easier for Di Jiu to save him.
Cao Xi obviously didn’t have his backpack with him, so Di Jiu took out a shirt from his own backpack and helped Cao Xi change into it. He began to meditate beside Cao Xi. His method of cultivation was different from others, as other people cultivated to absorb Yuan Qi, knowing from which acupuncture point to enter and which acupuncture point to circulate for a week.
Di Jiu cultivated entirely with his mind, and started to circulate the heaven and earth in his mind, then he automatically circulated the heaven and earth and absorbed the Yuan Qi automatically. What was the reason for this, Di Jiu did not know, yet he was sure that this method of cultivation would be of great use to him.
The next day Di Jiu was still meditating and didn’t wake up, but Cao Xi woke up, she leapt up without any discomfort except for some hunger.
She looked dazedly at the clothes of Di Jiu on her body and grabbed her wrist to look at it. Even if she didn’t know anything about medicine, she knew that Di Jiu had really lifted the poison she had been poisoned with.
