The Sky Poison Pearl
Red Marks On The Forehead

Only after four breaths of Yun Che's fall did Lan Xueruo finally reach the ground. As he pushed Lan Xueruo, his strength was like a gentle yet irresistible wave of wind that gradually slowed his descent; gentle to such an extent that about ten meters from the ground, he floated in the air. When he fell, it was like falling from a height of ten meters.

At that height, it was basically impossible for him to suffer any damage. Lan Xueruo landed very smoothly and then rushed towards Yun Che as if she had gone mad. Upon seeing the terrifying giant crater below him and the crack in the ground that stretched over ten meters, his tears shot out in panic.

“Young Brother Yun! Young Brother Yun…. Junior Brother Yun!!”

Lan Xueruo knelt beside Yun Che's body and sadly called out to him. She, who had not shed tears for more than ten years, was now sobbing. Her tears quickly covered her entire face. Even though she forcefully covered her lips, she was still unable to muffle her crying voice no matter what.

He had told Qin Wuyou before, that Yun Che would be someone who viewed honor and friendship with great importance. If he was helped during difficult times, he would definitely return the favor. At the very least, he would not refuse his request when that time came. In front of the Xiao Branch Sect, he had saved her using a contracted animal to escape from the pursuit of Xiao Zaihe. However, he never expected that he would return the favor in such a spirited and resolute manner; that he would desperately protect her using his body and life twice in a row.

In this world, there were many people who were kind to him, and also many more who were desperately trying to please him. But from his youth to adulthood, he had seen quite a lot of indifference, insincerity and helplessness, seeing quite a lot of swords in sweet words and evil ambitions…. Among them even included his closest family members. He was discouraged from time to time; several times, almost to the point of despair. Otherwise, he would not have left home to pass through the seven Palaces within two years, all to find the slightest hope.

He would never have expected that in this world, there would be someone at the most dangerous moment, willing to give up his life to take care of him. At least, his family would not do it, nor would they flatter and try to please him...

But Yun Che, the young brother he was trying to find, made his heart flutter, making his tears fall. He also made her understand for the first time in her life, that in this world, there was indeed someone willing to protect her using her life…. And on top of that, twice.

However, he probably understood it a bit too late; because at the right moment he understood that, this person would most likely never wake up again. Such a terrifying fall was impossible for someone who only had the strength of the Nascent Realm to endure. The only result is death.

Lan Xueruo's heart was wracked with excruciating pain and her tears had clouded her vision. In his distress, he did not realize that even though the impact of Yun Che destroying such a huge crater and so many cracks in the ground, there were actually no signs of blood accumulating under his body.

Amidst her cries, she felt a warm touch on her palm. At that moment, as if she was electrocuted, her entire body trembled as she widened her beautiful eyes. Through his still blurred vision, he saw Yun Che slowly opening his eyes. Because she was crying too sadly, but she looked at him and gently smiled. His hand was right in his palm, which told him that he was not dead.

"All right…. I am indeed dead.” Yun Che slightly moved his lips and spoke in a hoarse and weak voice. But the small smile on the corner of his lips did not lose his usual talent: he: “But Yama told me that there was a beautiful and kind girl who cried so sad because of my death that she couldn't even bear to see it. again, so she.

At the intersection of grief and shock, Lan Xueruo did not know whether she should cry or smile. Somewhat embarrassed, he wiped the tears on his face and tried very hard to make a denouncing expression: “You are already in this condition, however. In the future, who knows how many girls this your mouth will hurt.”

"Hehe…." Yun Che laughed. As he laughed, his injuries were affected and the pain caused his brows to wrinkle: “Then, could it be that….

Lan Xueruo examined Yun Che's injuries thoroughly; the results she found made her sigh in relief, but at the same time, she suffered a huge shock. It was because Yun Che's injuries were much better than he had imagined. His shoulder suffered severe injuries, but the bleeding had stopped and showed no signs of worsening. Instead, it recovered along with an extremely shocking speed that could be seen with the naked eye. There were countless other wounds on his body but all of them were light wounds. His body was in a weakened state, but it was also just a weakness; there were no injuries on important matters and internal injuries were also very insignificant.

Even though he fell from a high place, he still pushed him in another direction with all his strength, which caused him to fall even faster. To sustain an injury in such a way was something unexpected.

As he lifted Yun Che off the ground, he brought him to the nearby grass and laid him down. This was the first time she held a male body; she hugged him very carefully, accompanied by an irregular and uncontrollable heartbeat. Then, he kept her beside him, and waited for her to wake up once more.

This was a mountainous region; countless hills that were not too high, scattered all over the gazing eyes. Although the area was filled with greenery, it emitted a kind of very silent air.

From afar, the protracted roars of ferocious beasts could be heard frequently. This also caused Lan Xueruo to stand guard on Yun Che's side and not even dare to be half a step away from him to prevent the ferocious beasts from approaching and injuring Yun Che. After more than an hour had passed, the tip of his eyebrow suddenly flickered as he looked towards his right. In his vision, five people were walking; three adults, and two children.

These three men seemed to be around thirty or forty years old and they looked extremely evil. They wore the same type of light armor, the exposed muscles dark and rough; obviously they were the ones that often operated outside. The person who looked the oldest had a large tall body with a fierce-looking face while a huge axe leaned against his shoulders. On the contrary, the youngest-looking one had a thin body; his facial features resembled a monkey with a sharp angled mouth and he was dragging a giant iron rod that was over a meter long. The latter had a horse-like face and also carried a giant iron club. In terms of their cultivation, the highest ones were already at the eighth level of the Nascent Realm while the lowest ones were also already at the sixth level of the Nascent Realm.

However, the two children appeared to be only seven or eight years old. A man and a woman, dressed in rough cloth. What attracted attention, was a very shallow red mark on their foreheads; its shape, like a cluster of burning flames. Each of their arms was separately dragged by one person, who walked forward step by step. Tear stains that had not dried up were clearly visible on their faces.
