But the Sky-Shattering Eagle’s speed was truly too fast!
In an instant, Ye Fei was caught by it!
The spot where he was caught dripped blood.
“Beast, even if I die, I will teach you a lesson!”
Ye Fei’s eyes narrowed, and the long sword in his hand suddenly struck out. With all his might, he slashed directly at the Sky-Shattering Eagle’s right claw!
“Aoo!”
Although the Sky-Shattering Eagle’s claws were extremely sharp, such a close-range strike still made it unable to resist loosening its grip on Ye Fei.
This was the moment Ye Fei retreated, instantly falling off the Myriad Poisons Cliff!
“Damn it!”
The young man surnamed He’s eyes were like poisoned steel as he stood by the Myriad Poisons Cliff.
“Go back and be confined!”
The young man surnamed He said coldly to the Sky-Shattering Eagle.
Then, without even glancing at anyone else, he quickly left the area.
As for the Sky-Shattering Eagle, it followed closely behind the man.
Meanwhile, Ye Fei, who had fallen down the Myriad Poisons Cliff, had already lost consciousness.
As expected, the Myriad Poisons Cliff was indeed teeming with venomous creatures. Although Ye Fei was still conscious, he was severely injured and had lost a lot of blood. Even if he wanted to move, he had no strength.
He slowly woke up two days later.
The moment he opened his eyes, Ye Fei keenly sensed that he had likely been rescued!
He was currently lying on a large stone bed.
His clothes had also been changed.
“You’re awake?”
“You’ve been unconscious for several days. Hurry up and get up to eat something!”
A young woman who was preparing food walked over upon hearing the commotion.
“You saved me?”
“Thank you!”
As Ye Fei spoke, he discovered that his voice was hoarse to the point of being unrecognizable.
“Lie down and don’t move!”
“Your injuries haven’t healed yet. Let me feed you some water.”
Then, the veiled young woman directly took a bamboo tube and brought it to Ye Fei’s lips.
Ye Fei did not stand on ceremony and gulped down the entire tube of warm water.
Only then did he feel as if he had come back to life!
“Miss, thank you for saving my life!”
“If you have any requests, please do not hesitate to mention them. As long as I can fulfill them, I will not refuse!”
Ye Fei clasped his hands together and said earnestly.
“No need. Actually, it wasn’t me who saved you!”
The veiled young woman shook her head.
“Oh, then what happened?”
“Please enlighten me, Miss.”
Ye Fei asked, confused.
After the veiled young woman explained the entire ordeal, Ye Fei finally understood.
He truly never expected that it was a demonic beast that had saved him.
“Miss, but I still want to thank you for taking care of me during this time!”
“I promise you one request. If you haven’t thought of it yet, you can still mention it later!”
Ye Fei did not want to owe her a favor, so he said again.
The veiled young woman also had a perceptive heart, so she did not continue to refuse but nodded and said.
“I understand.”
“Let’s drop this topic for now.”
“I’ve made some food, and I imagine you must be hungry. Why don’t you try some of my cooking.”
The veiled woman revealed a smile, then brought over a bowl of vegetable porridge and placed it in front of Ye Fei.
Having not eaten for several days, Ye Fei’s appetite was greatly whetted. He quickly slurped down the entire bowl.
Afterward, he remembered the important matter.
“Miss, how are you able to survive in this Myriad Poisons Cliff?”
Ye Fei was extremely curious and could not help but ask.
“To tell you the truth, young master, I was thrown into the Myriad Poisons Cliff when I was young. I have long since developed an immunity to all poisons.”
“And why did you fall down the Myriad Poisons Cliff, young master?”
The veiled young woman could not help but ask curiously.
Ye Fei gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and sighed.
“It’s all because my skills were not proficient enough!”
“That’s why I was ambushed.”
Seeing Ye Fei’s grim expression, the veiled woman did not probe further.
The two of them fell into an awkward silence for a moment.
Finally, Ye Fei broke the silence again.
“Miss, I see you’re always wearing a veil. May I know the reason?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the veiled young woman’s body trembled, and she instinctively clutched her veil.
Seeing her strong reaction, Ye Fei quickly said.
“Miss, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to!”
“My apologies!”
“It’s just that I’m a丹师 (dan shi – alchemist/pill master). If there’s anything you need help with, I might be able to assist you a little.”
Ye Fei had also sensed something, which was why he spoke.
“Really?”
“You’re actually an alchemist?”
Suddenly, the veiled young woman became incredibly excited. She tightly grasped Ye Fei’s clothes, her eyes faintly shimmering with tears.
She closed her eyes and directly removed the veil from her face.
What met Ye Fei’s eyes was a face covered in scars!
Most of them were burn marks!
What was even more infuriating was that on her left cheek, there were dozens of crisscrossing knife wounds of various sizes!
“What happened?”
“How could this happen?”
“Who injured you?”
Ye Fei exclaimed indignantly.
The scars were simply too horrifying!
Furthermore, based on Ye Fei’s experience, these scars had been present for at least ten years!
However, the young woman shook her head blankly, then clutched her head in pain and said.
“I don’t know!”
“I don’t know, I have no memories at all!”
“I don’t even know who my enemy is!”
“Who would want to do this to me?”
“What did I do wrong?”
Seeing her mumbling to herself, it was clear she had developed a mental demon!
“This is bad, if this continues, she’ll be close to going berserk!”
Ye Fei said anxiously.
Then, Ye Fei let out a loud shout.
“Embrace the incomplete, Heaven’s Origin returns to One!”
“Wake up!”
With a bang, Ye Fei directly channeled his yuan power into the woman’s head.
The woman, who had been murmuring, immediately quieted down.
“Do as I instructed!”
Ye Fei reminded her again.
The woman seemed to have a sudden realization and immediately sat down cross-legged, beginning to calm her inner turmoil.
After a quarter of an hour, Ye Fei stopped channeling yuan power.
By then, the woman had also regained consciousness.
She was covered in a cold sweat. If she had become fixated on it, the consequences would not have been what she wanted.
However, after so many years, this had indeed become her mental demon.
Without resolving it, she would never be able to truly step onto the great path.
“Thank you, young hero. If you hadn’t been here just now, I don’t know what would have happened.”
The woman said, still feeling the lingering fear.
“It’s also my fault. If I hadn’t asked so much, I wouldn’t have triggered your mental demon!”
“But don’t worry, since I caused this, I will take responsibility!”
“I’ve already told you, I am an alchemist.”
“Now listen carefully, I can heal the scars on your face!”
