Princess Consort Heals Her Wounds

The Otherkin Princess Consort's little mouth opened and closed as she chanted some scripture.

Though Chu Qing could not understand it, he still felt the scripture sounded pleasant—or rather:

The Otherkin Princess Consort's voice sounded pleasant.

Her voice was like a lark's, growing sweeter the longer he listened.

A minute later:

The pillar of fire vanished.

The two corpses were gone.

The Otherkin Princess Consort picked up several items from the ashes.

A small flag, a tiny sword, a shuttle, and other little objects.

Finally, there were two bones.

The moment she saw the bones, the Otherkin Princess Consort visibly froze.

She looked at the bones, then at Chu Qing.

After a brief silence, she tucked the bones into her robes.

Beside her, Chu Qing was curious.

Were Otherkin weapons all so small?

And they even used bones as weapons?

That was truly distinctive!

At this moment:

The Otherkin Princess Consort still spat out a little blood.

She looked at Chu Qing beside her and said, "Can you help me find a quiet place?"

"I want to recuperate for a while."

Chu Qing nodded.

Out here in these desolate mountains and wilderness, finding a secluded spot was easy enough.

A few minutes later:

Chu Qing led the Otherkin Princess Consort into a cave.

The cave was not large and was somewhat narrow.

With both of them squeezed inside, it was a little crowded.

But it was well hidden.

The cave entrance lay beneath a pile of bamboo.

Dead, withered bamboo leaves had accumulated there.

If he had not been searching for the Golden Toad, Chu Qing would never have discovered such a hidden cave.

After settling the Otherkin Princess Consort in, Chu Qing was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"You rest first. I'll go find you some secret medicine for healing!"
