Su Xue

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and its gentle light made the Magical Beasts in the forest unusually active.

Throughout the Monster Mountain Range, the roars of Magical Beasts echoed everywhere.

At this moment, on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range, two figures sat in front of a campfire. One of the figures was occasionally turning the roasting lamb over the fire.

Seeing that the roast lamb wouldn't be ready for a while, Xiao Yi Xian said, "Lin Ming, I'll go fetch some water from the stream over there."

Xiao Yi Xian now possesses the cultivation of Dou Master, so she's practically safe on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range. Furthermore, the stream is just a short distance ahead, and Lin Ming hasn't sensed any powerful aura.

Of course, at such close range, even if Xiao Yi Xian encountered some powerful being, Lin Ming could arrive in time. So after Xiao Yi Xian finished speaking, Lin Ming nodded and said, "Go!"

"Ah!" Not long after Xiao Yi Xian left, a scream rang out.

Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's scream, Lin Ming immediately transformed into a streak of light and arrived at the stream. After seeing that Xiao Yi Xian was alright, he asked, "Xiao Yi Xian, what happened to you?"

"Lin Ming, look over there, isn't that a female corpse?" Upon seeing Lin Ming arrive, Xiao Yi Xian immediately pointed to the bend above the stream and said.

Upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, Lin Ming looked in the direction Xiao Yi Xian was pointing, and sure enough, a figure in a dress appeared at the corner.

"Xiao Yi Xian, wait here for me, I'll go take a look." Since Xiao Yi Xian had discovered it, Lin Ming decided to go and see. So after speaking to Xiao Yi Xian, Lin Ming headed towards the corner.

Upon reaching the corner, the full extent of the female corpse came into view before Lin Ming.

There were two wounds on the female corpse that looked like they had been cut by a sword or knife. However, perhaps because she had been soaking in water, there was not a trace of blood flowing from those wounds.

Then, Lin Ming looked at the female corpse's face. A face that, while not extremely stunning, was still quite attractive, appeared before Lin Ming's eyes.

The woman's face appeared to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, but due to being submerged in water, her complexion was deathly pale.

"Huh, she's still hanging on by a thread!" After observing her closely for a moment, Lin Ming realized that the person was still alive and not a female corpse.

Of course, if Lin Ming ignored her, the woman would probably turn into a real female corpse in half an hour at most.

Lin Ming had originally come to check on the woman's body to find out what was wrong, but upon inspection, he saw that she was still barely breathing. After a moment's thought, Lin Ming sighed and said, "Never mind, since we've met by chance, it means you weren't meant to die!"

As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, he drew upon his Wood Attribute Dou Qi and injected it into the woman's body.

As Lin Ming Wood Attribute Dou Qi was injected into her, the woman's heartbeat gradually became stronger.

The unusual situation with Lin Ming instantly made Xiao Yi Xian realize that he was still alive. So after Lin Ming finished transferring his Wood Attribute Dou Qi, Xiao Yi Xian also came to Lin Ming's side.

After arriving beside Lin Ming, and seeing the woman's still deathly pale face, Xiao Yi Xian asked, "Lin Ming, this person isn't dead?"

"He was barely clinging to life just now. But after I infused him with Wood Attribute Dou Qi, his vitality has been restored, and he won't die anytime soon," Lin Ming said in response to Xiao Yi Xian's question.

After saying that, Lin Ming scooped the woman up and held her in front of him, then said to Xiao Yi Xian, "Let's go! Back to camp."

Seeing Lin Ming walk towards the camp after speaking, Xiao Yi Xian nodded and followed.

Back at the camp, Lin Ming put the woman down, and then, with a flash of his Storage Ring, a Jade Bottle appeared in Lin Ming hand.

"Xiao Yi Xian, give her this pill!" After saying this, Lin Ming tossed the Jade Bottle to Xiao Yi Xian, and then went back to the campfire to roast his lamb.

Xiao Yi Xian took the Jade Bottle that Lin Ming tossed to her, nodded, then opened the Jade Bottle, poured out the pills inside, and fed them to the unconscious woman lying on the ground.

After taking the pill, the unconscious woman gradually woke up shortly afterward, accompanied by a coughing sound as she choked on water.

"Where... where... am I...?" the woman asked weakly after regaining consciousness.

"Young lady, this is the eastern outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range," Xiao Yi Xian replied after hearing the woman's question.

"The eastern part of the Monster Mountain Range?" The woman asked with a puzzled expression after hearing Xiao Yi Xian's reply.

However, the woman knew this wasn't the time to figure these things out. So, after a brief moment of confusion, she dragged her extremely weak body and barely managed to lift her upper body. Then, she bowed deeply to Lin Ming and Xiao Yi Xian and said, "I am Su Xue, and I thank you both for saving me!"

Seeing that even in her weakened state, Su Xue still bowed to them, Lin Ming knew that his kindness had not been in vain. So, after Su Xue finished speaking, Lin Ming said, "Xiao Yi Xian, go and help Miss Su Xue over to have something to eat!"

After Lin Ming finished speaking, Xiao Yi Xian came to Su Xue's side and said to her, "Miss Su Xue, let me help you go and have something to eat!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, my benefactor!" Su Xue's voice came after Xiao Yi Xian finished speaking.

"Miss Su Xue, you can just call me Xiao Yi Xian, there's no need to address me as your benefactor." After saying this, Xiao Yi Xian helped Su Xue to sit down by the campfire with a smile on her face.

"This is freshly roasted mutton, Miss Su Xue, please try some." Lin Ming said after handing a piece of roasted mutton to Su Xue.

"Thank you so much, benefactor!" Su Xue said gratefully as she accepted the roasted meat from Lin Ming.

Lin Ming also disliked being addressed as "benefactor," so after Su Xue finished speaking, he said, "There's no need to call me 'benefactor.' My name is Lin Ming. Miss Su Xue, you can just call me by my name."

Seeing Lin Ming's affirmative expression, Su Xue had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Then, whether it was because she was starving or because Lin Ming's barbecue smelled so good, Su Xue quickly devoured the large piece of barbecue that Lin Ming had given her.

"There's more here!" Lin Ming said, watching Su Xue finish the barbecue.

Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Su Xue immediately showed an embarrassed expression.

Xiao Yi Xian noticed Su Xue's embarrassment, so Xiao Yi Xian tore off a large piece of roasted meat and handed it to Su Xue, saying, "Su Xue, don't be shy. We can't finish all this roasted meat that Lin Ming grilled. Besides, you're still injured; you won't recover quickly if you don't eat more."

Seeing that Su Xue ate with a certain degree of etiquette and that she now exuded the aura of Dou Master after recovering somewhat, Lin Ming knew that Su Xue was at least not an ordinary person.
