Dragon's Origin

Chapter 758: Back Then (Part 1)

Wang Sheng's large hand swiftly stopped Lin Xiu's slender waist, pulling her collapsing body into his embrace.

Looking at the familiar, lively color in Lin Xiu's eyes, Wang Sheng could determine that the person before him was indeed Lin Xiu, and not Lin Ling.

"Sorry, the bit of heaven and earth spiritual Qi I just absorbed is only enough for me to last this long."

Lin Xiu seemed to enjoy the feeling of lying in Wang Sheng's arms, comfortably closing her eyes and saying to Wang Sheng with a slightly apologetic tone, "Several dozen of them escaped, I don't have the strength to chase them."

"Let them run!"

Wang Sheng's heart was about to burst with joy.

Lin Xiu was alright, able to appear so powerfully before him, and so docilely lie in his arms, it simply made Wang Sheng overjoyed.

Besides, Wang Sheng could also tell that those who escaped were mostly from the Song family, along with a dozen or so from the Tang family.

The rest had all been killed by Lin Xiu alone with a single withered branch.

Even though Wang Sheng couldn't see Lin Xiu's actions at the time, and couldn't sense the spiritual Qi, Wang Sheng could completely imagine it.

Lin Xiu, with her fluttering robes, appeared like an ethereal fairy from the yellow smoke, and before those legendary masters could prepare any counterattacks, she easily pierced their throats with a withered branch.

If Wang Sheng had to describe this scene, he couldn't find a suitable adjective.

Perhaps, the whole process was like the scene in Jin Yong's novel 'The Sword of the Yue Maiden' on Earth, where A Qing single-handedly killed through three thousand Yue soldiers with a bamboo staff.

Other than that, Wang Sheng couldn't think of any other scenario.

Originally thinking it was a certain death situation, Wang Sheng had prepared for the worst.

When he reached his limit, he would detonate all the explosives he was carrying, and pull the dream girl A Qi along with the enemies to perish together.

But because of Lin Xiu's actions, there was no need to worry anymore.

The Seven Word Incantation was sprinkled on Lin Xiu's body as if it cost nothing.

Having finally woken up, Wang Sheng had countless words he wanted to say to Lin Xiu, and countless questions he wanted to ask her, afraid that she would fall asleep again because of the excessive consumption.

Holding Lin Xiu's slender waist, Wang Sheng first brought Lin Xiu back to the side of the mountain wall, helping her sit down to rest for a moment, while he tied the unconscious A Qi onto his back.

Lin Xiu kept watching Wang Sheng's movements, without asking why.

There was a silent understanding between the two, knowing that they definitely couldn't stay here for long, and had to leave first.

Wang Sheng didn't bother to collect the spoils from the corpses of the three hundred plus masters.

With a whistle, countless insects swarmed up, frantically rushing towards the corpses.

If the eight great families' reinforcements arrived a little later, it was estimated that they wouldn't even have any bone fragments left.

Supporting Lin Xiu and carrying A Qi on his back, the three of them began to leave in a certain direction.

Wang Sheng didn't deliberately choose which direction, just leaving first.

The awake Lin Xiu was vastly different from the unconscious Lin Xiu.

At least in terms of physical recovery, Wang Sheng no longer needed to dominate with the Seven Word Incantation, but Lin Xiu herself slowly mobilized the spiritual Qi in her body, and the Seven Word Incantation became an aid.

However, Lin Xiu's body was too weak, so the spiritual Qi she could muster was only slightly better than an ordinary person who was not in the flow, nothing more.

The only thing that comforted Wang Sheng was that she could actively guide the spiritual Qi, instead of passively accepting it, which made it much more efficient.

Of course, Wang Sheng didn't forget to give Lin Xiu a few nourishing pills, to recover as much as possible.

"How is your body now? How long will it take to recover?"

Supporting Lin Xiu for a while, Wang Sheng was already certain that this was really the girl he often dreamed of on Earth.

Her way of acting was almost exactly the same as Wang Sheng's, and even now, relying on Wang Sheng's strength to walk, she did it in a military way.

"The loss from the battle back then was too great.

For hundreds of years, I only improved my realm but failed to nourish my body.

It won't be a matter of a month or two to recover."

Lin Xiu had almost no concealment from Wang Sheng, and directly replied, "In the best condition, with various spiritual medicines, a brilliant recovery formation, and the assistance of a master, it would take about a year to a year and a half to recover."

"What kind of spiritual medicines and formations do you need, what kind of master do you need, I'll help you prepare them."

Wang Sheng asked Lin Xiu without hesitation.

As long as it could help Lin Xiu recover, what did these things matter?

Wang Sheng didn't believe that he couldn't get anything with hundreds of billions of gold coins.

"Aren't you the enemy of the world now?"

After hearing this, Lin Xiu gasped a few times and couldn't help but laugh, "Which master would dare to openly help you?"

"How would you know?"

Wang Sheng couldn't help but be stunned.

Weren't these things outside the Thousand Absolutes Land?

How did Lin Xiu know?

"Because I was the enemy of the world hundreds of years ago."

Lin Xiu didn't need to explain much, "You're taking me with you, and with me, then you must also be the enemy of the world."

"Maybe!"

Wang Sheng nodded with a wry smile, but several faces still flashed in his mind, "But not entirely, there are always a few people who won't attack me.

It looks like I'm doing a little better than you did back then."

"Hahaha!"

Lin Xiu laughed loudly, disregarding her ladylike demeanor.

After laughing a few times, she felt that she couldn't keep up with her breathing, so she could only carefully restrain her laughter.

Wang Sheng also hurriedly threw a Seven Word Incantation at her, helping Lin Xiu to ease.

"How ironic."

Lin Xiu calmed down after a while, and said with a wry smile, "I never thought that one day, I would have trouble even laughing a few times."

"It will be alright!"

Wang Sheng softly comforted, "As long as you keep your life, everything will be alright."

"Yes!"

Lin Xiu also felt something in her heart, and gently leaned her small face on Wang Sheng's chest, "I can finally lean in your arms, it's so comfortable!"

Wang Sheng's arm tightened slightly, giving Lin Xiu a safe and warm feeling, and he felt unspeakable peace and joy in his heart, only feeling that everything he had experienced before was worth it.

The latest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

The two seemed to enjoy this tacit happiness, neither of them spoke, just quietly snuggling against each other, enjoying it.

At this moment, Lin Xiu was not the peerless master who killed one person every ten steps, but just a small woman in Wang Sheng's arms.

"For this day, I came to this world and waited for several years, and finally I can hold you in my arms."

After a long time, Wang Sheng finally said with a smile in a low voice.

"I've been waiting in the ice pillar for almost five hundred years."

Lin Xiu also laughed, "Fortunately, I can concentrate on cultivation, and time passes quickly."

"You were always awake in the ice pillar?"

Wang Sheng suddenly realized a problem, and hurriedly asked, "You even know that the Shi family took away the Phoenix Flight Heart Technique, you could feel everything that happened inside?"

"Only the innermost area."

Lin Xiu replied with a smile, "That is the recessed area.

That used to be a plain, do you know how that big depression appeared?"
