The injury on Yun Che's body wholeheartedly convinced Feng Baichuan. After all, no one was crazy enough to chase their 'treasure' with such a heavy wound. Yun Che's words puzzled her for a while, and then he once again laughed at himself by mocking: “The Phoenix Trail. The originally venerated imprint that symbolized his strength and bloodline had turned into a cursed sign of sorrow; our ancestors made terrible mistakes, but what kind of sin had he committed? young generation doesn't know?”
Feng Baichuan's words revealed a strong sense of grief; it seemed like Yun Che's words had pierced the part of his heart that was hurting.
Damned mark? Yun Che's heart was pounding. Blood mark, how could it turn into a cursed mark? Wait wait, perhaps the reason their cultivation was limited to the tenth level of the Basic Realm, was it because of the "cursed mark" that Feng Baichuan was talking about?
“I believe that you are not a bad person because I cannot feel any evil from your body and you have also saved my two children. Anyhow I have to pay you, is something I have to do. It was just that.." Feng Baichuan let out a long sigh: "Our clan is currently facing a disaster; if you want to continue staying here, the disaster could involve you so you have to recuperate here. It would be best if you could finish healing and leave before those dangerous people return here again. Because next time the villain comes, maybe.. It will be a big disaster.”.
When he was taken on the street here, he learned what had happened earlier from the conversation of Lan Xueruo and the two children. He became confused, and asked: “Leader of the Feng Clan, I have one thing that I do not understand. Your clan should have been here for years, right? Many years have passed peacefully, but why did the mercenary group suddenly focus their attention on you?"
Feng Baichuan looked out the window and calmly replied: “What you just said is true. Our clan has been around for many years and even prospered for a period of time. But after inflicting the wrath of heaven, we quickly resisted and had no choice but to live in isolation to survive. Right now, due to this low appearance, we are not even comparable to a small village being damaged. However, we have not bothered these past few years since this area is known as the Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Every kind of beast was rampant; the least cruel was the beast at the level of the Nascent Realm, and the most frightening was the Earth Realm. And it was even rumored that there were three terrifying Celestial Realm Beasts living in this mountain range. This is a beast paradise. They rejected the humans who set foot in this place; they would group together to attack if humans entered the area. At the same time, the deeper you go, the higher the level of a savage beast.”
“As for this place, it is the center of the entire mountain range of thousands of beasts. Some humans could operate around this border to obtain the beast core but aside from those who were extremely strong, basically no one had the courage and ability to arrive in this region. and a very strong person who has such abilities will not come to such a trivial place.”
“But it seems like no wild animals live near here?” Yun Che frowned, as soon as he finished speaking when he realized: "Could it be because .. Phoenix essence?"
"true." Feng Baichuan nodded: “To be honest, the Phoenix Ruins that we have guarded for generations are behind this area and contain the rest of the phoenix essence that it left behind. Although his essence was weak, he never scattered. In this world, which ferocious beast could possibly withstand the prestigious pressure of a Primordial divine beast? Who would dare to approach?”
"So it's like this."
Yun Che slowly nodded and his facial expression fluctuated slightly. This place actually has the Phoenix Ruins. Not only that, the Phoenix essence never disappeared. The best explanation was that this was the residence of the Phoenix Ruins, and it was something left behind by the Phoenix!
Something left behind by a primordial divine beast!
The blood all over Yun Che's body started to boil because he was just thinking about this.
"Because this is the case, then how do the bad guys who want to snatch the thing you're guarding come in?" Yun Che asked. It was simply impossible for a normal mercenary group to have the strength to face a savage beast; and moreover an earth realm savage beast. Forget about a hundred people, even if the scale was ten times larger, meeting a savage beast in the earth realm would definitely result in total destruction.
Considering the density of the Thousand Beasts Mountain savage beast that walked on the road without encountering a savage beast or a savage beast at the earth level was even more impossible.
"I don't know." Feng Baichuan shook his head: “I want to know more than anyone how they managed to enter this area. Perhaps, this is the destiny we deserve.”
"Let me see your wound, I should be able to handle it as long as it's not too weird." Sighing, Feng Baichuan walked to the front of the bed.
However, Yun Che shook his head: “No need, I have my own way of dealing with this minor injury. There's no need for you to worry. Right now you are facing a major disaster, so there must be a lot of things you have to do as the clan leader. You don't have to think about us.
Feng Baichuan nodded and did not insist: “Alright then, you guys stay here and rest well. If you need anything, just call me. I hope the bad guys aren't in a hurry to come here.
Feng Baichuan opened the door and walked out with a worried expression. Yun Che placed his hand on his chin and thought hard.
“Is your wound okay? After all, you have indeed fallen from such a high height.” Lan Xueruo asked worriedly.
Yun Che shook his head gently and smiled: “I remember telling Senior Brother that I was a genius healer. To a genius healer, this kind of small wound was nothing.”
For others, the wound on his body was definitely considered heavy but in his eyes, it could only be considered a light wound.
“Tabib genius? Even if you are a genius healer, does that mean you can just throw your life away! Lan Xueruo's eyes reddened as she thought about how Yun Che had saved her with his life, twice in a row: "If you really die, I will never feel at peace for the rest of my life."
“Haha,” Yun Che laughed: “Yuanba is right, Senior Brother is too good. I was the one who had been a burden to Senior Brother from the very beginning so I had to be the one to blame myself, but now Senior Brother is instead blaming himself.”
Lan Xueruo's gaze wavered. Biting his lower lip, he said softly, “Young Brother Yun, in the future, please don't do what you are doing now again, okay? Actually, there are a lot of protective gear in my body so I won't get hurt easily. If something similar happens again, you can't protect me without paying attention to your own life. It's enough if you just protect yourself.”
"I can't do it." Yun Che shook his head stubbornly.
“Why can't you do that? Do you not value your life?” Lan Xueruo's heart skipped a beat.
"NO! I really appreciate my life. Whatever the situation, I still won't let myself die. It's just... It's just...” Not letting Lan Xueruo see the sadness deep within her gaze, Yun Che closed his eyes: “I once let down a girl who had treated me well, because of me, he died in my arms.Maybe I won't be able to forget that pain even after ten lives. From that day on, I vowed to never let any girl who treated me well suffer any loss..
"...That girl, she shouldn't be your wife right now, right?" Lan Xueruo looked at Yun Che, her gaze revealing a complexity that even she herself did not understand.
"Of course not. But the way he treated me was still considered good, so the way I treated him should also be considered good.” Thinking of Xia Qingyue, Yun Che smiled gently. Even though they shared the same bed for a few days, the memories were still beautiful. However, they may never meet again in the future, but her identity as her "wife" is firmly entrenched in her heart because she is the first wife in two lives; she is the first woman in the; though they only become husband and wife in name.
