Song Miaoyu was initially very anxious. What happened to Ye Tiancheng? After all, during the pursuit by those people today, Ye Tiancheng had absorbed a lot of demonic energy, which was very harmful to his body.
However, after Lin Xue infused Ye Tiancheng with her true qi, she said weakly to Song Miaoyu, "Auntie, Master is just sleeping. He is recovering his body while he sleeps. We just need to take good care of him. He is not in danger for now, and Master will wake up soon."
Hearing Lin Xue say this, Song Miaoyu finally stopped crying. She had been terrified, thinking Ye Tiancheng was going to die.
The cold wind blew incessantly, and the environment inside was not good. Lin Xue was relatively adapted to it, as she was used to this kind of life in the wild. The other three people found it somewhat difficult to endure.
Fortunately, Xiao Pang had brought many thick quilts in the off-road vehicle, which could block the wind. He immediately distributed them to everyone.
Otherwise, the temperature at the bottom of the cliff would be quite low, and the wind was too strong for people's bodies to withstand.
Song Miaoyu lay in a corner, holding Ye Tiancheng, unwilling to let go for fear that something might happen to him.
At this moment, Xiao Pang had some minor abrasions. Even though Lin Xue had used all her true qi to protect him, as a mortal, Xiao Pang was inevitably injured.
But with Lin Xue's protection, he managed to save his life, which was still good. At least he wasn't killed outright!
"Brother Pang, I'm a bit weak now and really don't have the strength. Wait for me to recover a bit, and your minor injuries can be healed very easily. I can even treat them for you."
Lin Xue was now in the Golden Core stage, albeit at the lowest level. However, it should not be a problem for her to heal Xiao Pang's abrasions.
But now Lin Xue didn't even have the strength to walk to Xiao Pang. If it weren't for her strong willpower, she would have fainted long ago.
"Miss Lin, you have already paid a great price to protect us. It's a pity that I, Fatty, have no cultivation at all. I am just an ordinary person with some strength. I feel very guilty that you, a young lady, have to protect us."
If this topic continued, it would become too sad. Lin Xue quickly changed the subject.
"Alright, Brother Pang, don't say any more. You're injured too. Apply some medicine and get some rest early. We still have to travel tomorrow, and we must ensure that all of us are full of energy."
Perhaps others didn't know as clearly, but Lin Xue was very clear in her heart. To save Ye Tiancheng's life and prevent more demonic energy from entering his body, they had to reach that place quickly.
Lin Xue had carefully chosen that place. It was a central area with pure energy, where demonic energy could not approach. Lin Xue chose it because of this special situation; it was not a random choice.
Once Ye Tiancheng arrived there, he would gradually recover. In these places, with the pursuit of those demonic energy minions, it would be difficult to recover. This night was not easy for the four of them. Finally, as dawn broke, Lin Xue had recovered a lot of strength.
She remembered her promise from last night. When she wanted to treat Xiao Pang, he stopped her.
"I'm a grown man, and these minor injuries are nothing. They've been bandaged, and there's no inflammation. They should recover in a few days. Don't waste your true qi. Your true qi is needed to protect Brother Ye's life."
Lin Xue thought Xiao Pang had a point. Among this group, only Lin Xue had the ability to protect Ye Tiancheng. If she didn't allocate her energy wisely, she might even cause Ye Tiancheng to lose his life.
"Brother Fatty, if you feel unwell anywhere, please remember to tell me. I can help you heal. Don't force yourself."
Fatty readily agreed to Lin Xue's offer. If he couldn't bear it any longer, he would tell her in advance. If his injuries worsened, it would be a burden to the team. He understood this principle.
The group walked along a small stream, because Lin Xue had said that where there was flowing water, there was an exit, and they just needed to keep moving forward.
"We've been walking for several hours, and I don't feel any pursuit from behind. It seems we're safe. Let's slow down a bit."
Lin Xue was the commander now. She constantly assessed the situation based on the current circumstances, not daring to let her guard down for even a second.
"Okay, the main thing is that our car is gone, and the supplies inside are gone too. We only have some food in our personal bags."
The off-road vehicle that had fallen down the cliff was severely damaged and unusable. It was a pity that Xiao Pang had spent a lot of money on it; it was his last savings. If he had known, he wouldn't have shown off so much.
Song Miaoyu had plenty of cars at home. She could just drive one out of the garage, and they wouldn't be in this situation. Just thinking about that off-road vehicle made her heart ache.
Sensing Xiao Pang's thoughts, Song Miaoyu, who was always very generous, said, "Sister-in-law Ye, thank you in advance. When we get back safely, I'll give you ten off-road vehicles."
Song Miaoyu was a rich girl, and she spoke very generously and credibly.
"Sister Ye, then I thank you in advance. I'll be waiting for your off-road vehicles. But you don't need ten, one is enough. Otherwise, I'll still feel heartbroken. The one I just bought new had its wheels fly off."
The group slowed down, talking as they walked, and soon they saw a place where they could climb up. There was even a staircase above, which seemed to have been artificially modified. Could it be a scenic spot?
"We'll climb the cliff from here, and then there's still a stretch of road, and there should be transportation."
"I can hire people to protect us. I'll make a call now and have them send a car."
Song Miaoyu's idea was quickly rejected by Lin Xue. It was not advisable to involve more people at this time, as more people would be attacked by the dark energy. Moreover, this area was blocked by Ouyang Xunnuo's men, so there was no signal, and it was impossible to make a phone call.
Song Miaoyu had thought she would be freed from suffering, but it turned out she still had to endure. Her mood immediately became a bit low, but for Ye Tiancheng, she had to grit her teeth and persevere.
After climbing for nearly an hour, they finally emerged from the bottom of the cliff. The group walked along the side of a main road. It was too remote here. Occasionally, a car would pass by, but no one was willing to stop.
Usually, if beautiful women waved to stop a car, it would be effective. However, Lin Xue was dressed too heavily now, so even with her fairy-like face, it was useless.
"Fatty, I tried my best to show my feminine advantages just now, but it was still unsuccessful. Do you think I'm wearing too much?"
Seeing Lin Xue's serious inquiry, Fatty couldn't help it. He had been feeling depressed for a long time and finally burst into laughter.
"Hahaha..."
"What are you laughing at? I'm trying to work hard for our team."
"Let's go. We can't get a ride. We're too many people, and most cars can't fit us. We'll just keep walking."
Lin Xue thought Xiao Pang had a point and didn't argue. The group continued to walk forward silently. As they walked, they discovered a farmhouse by the roadside.
There was a yard next to the main road, and an old woman was busy in the yard. The group was thirsty and hungry.
"Old lady, I can give you money. Can you give us something to eat?"
Wherever Song Miaoyu went, her favorite method was to buy things. After all, her family had too much money, and buying things was the simplest method. Money makes the mare go, as the saying goes.
When the old woman heard that there was money to be made, her ears and eyes instantly became sharp, and she walked much faster than usual. "Okay, I have food here. Hurry inside."
Song Miaoyu sometimes carried a lot of cash with her for convenience. She took out ten bills and gave them to the old woman.
One thousand yuan for a meal for four people. In a high-end restaurant, it would be about the same price. The old woman was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, praising Song Miaoyu for being generous, beautiful, and generous, and predicting a bright future for her.
"Don't be so polite with me. Bring out all the good food you have. If you have any drinks, that would be even better, preferably cold."
It wasn't that Song Miaoyu treated this place like a restaurant, but she really wanted to eat a good meal. She usually ate at the most famous internet-famous restaurants with her sisters. Not only was the food delicious, but the environment was also very good, so she was a bit unaccustomed to it now.
The old woman brought out the food, but it was some dry rations that seemed to have been steamed for several meals, including sponge cake, stir-fried vegetables, and tofu stewed with green leaves. The only meat was a few large chicken legs, but they seemed a bit dry and not very fresh.
"Brother Ye, you should eat something first."
Song Miaoyu's appetite was suppressed quite a bit, so she decided to feed Ye Tiancheng first. Ye Tiancheng was weak now and needed to be taken care of. She could eat herself, but it was a bit slow.
"Sister-in-law, let my Brother Ye eat by himself. If you feed him, it will make Brother Ye look even more like a disabled person who can't do anything."
Despite what Xiao Pang said, Song Miaoyu still showed off her affection. While feeding Ye Tiancheng, she didn't stop eating herself. Although the food didn't look very appetizing, it tasted alright, with a unique flavor.
"Excuse me, Grandma, can I ask if there's a bus station around here? We need to go somewhere far away. We don't have a car now, or do you have a car that you can rent to us?"
The group had finally encountered someone and felt like they had grasped a life-saving straw. If they could solve the transportation problem, continuing to walk like this would not only waste time but also expose them to more dangers on the road.
"There are no bus stations nearby. There used to be one, but it was removed six months ago because too few people used it. If you want our car, we only have a tractor, which we don't rent, only sell, for one hundred thousand yuan."
The old woman looked honest, but her price was shockingly high. A tractor for one hundred thousand yuan! What else was she capable of? It seemed this person had no bottom line.
"Even a new tractor wouldn't cost this much. Moreover, the one parked in your yard looks very worn out. It's questionable if it can even run, yet you're asking for so much. This is price gouging!"
Now that Ye Tiancheng was weak, Fatty, as the other man in the team, had to take responsibility and not let these women be bullied.
"I'm not robbing you. We can discuss it. If you want to buy it, buy it. If not, then forget it."
The old woman might have seen Song Miaoyu's spending power. This meal probably wasn't worth even a hundred yuan, but Song Miaoyu gave her a thousand yuan.
