TEMBMBIWB Chapter 15
by VolareTan Zhui searched according to the direction given by Yong Lan and the others. Along the way, he sensed a strong demonic aura. The stronger the aura, the heavier his heart became.
Suddenly, his eyes twitched.
Through his blurred vision, he noticed a corner of clothing hanging on a bush branch.
Tan Zhui quickly grabbed the piece of cloth in his hand, rubbing his fingers over it. It had a hibiscus flower pattern on it.
This was a piece of Little Hibiscus’s clothing.
He gritted his teeth and stuffed the cloth into his chest.
Immediately after, a gust of yin wind swept towards him. He immediately reacted, summoning the Long Hate Whip.
Golden light flashed, entangling and tearing apart the thing that had pounced at him. The long, sharp spikes directly tore the monster into pieces.
Tan Zhui hadn’t even seen the thing clearly before the Long Hate Whip, controlled by his will, smashed the monster to bits.
He walked forward, but found no clues about Little Hibiscus in the monster’s remains.
The White Deer Immortal didn’t know whether to feel relieved or even more urgent.
Tan Zhui closed his eyes, using his divine sense to observe the aura. Various images within the pit flashed quickly through his mind, like a fleeting mirror.
Suddenly, his brows twitched.
Among the chaotic images in his mind, he saw a familiar figure.
The youth seemed to be injured, his clothes stained with blood. Another youth was supporting him, and they were walking towards a cave not far away.
Si Feng gritted his teeth, feeling the blood of the other person soaking through his clothes. He said in a cold voice, “Don’t die, don’t die!”
Sui Chunsheng chuckled softly, “I already said, I won’t die…”
Si Feng supported him as they entered the cave in front of them.
It was an inconspicuous cave, a place of shelter.
Perhaps subconsciously comforted by the seclusion, Si Feng brought him to rest there temporarily.
Sui Chunsheng leaned against the stone wall, his breathing a little rapid.
He took out medicine from his sword space and said softly, “Treat yourself first, you’re also injured.”
Meaning Si Feng should take the medicine to treat his own wounds.
Si Feng glared at him in disbelief, “Look at yourself first! Do you really want to die?”
Sui Chunsheng smiled gently, using his spiritual power to clean his wounds. The original appearance of the shoulder wound was revealed.
Fighting that thing just now was very difficult. If Si Feng hadn’t come back to help him, he might have really fallen.
But when they finally ran away, he still blocked a blow for the Little Immortal of Pei Lan, which led to this shocking injury.
It was considered repayment for their previous help.
Sui Chunsheng gritted his teeth and applied medicine to himself. His movements were a bit clumsy and awkward, as if he had never been injured before.
Si Feng hesitated for a moment, then squeezed out a sentence, “You, haven’t you ever been injured before? Let me help you…”
Sui Chunsheng smiled, “No need.”
“I’ve been injured before, how can one not be injured while cultivating?”
He focused on bandaging himself. Once he was done, he looked up and continued, “Do you think I’m clumsy?”
“Although I often get hurt, I’ve never bandaged myself.”
Si Feng looked at him, his brow furrowed in confusion.
Could it be that this Little Hibiscus Immortal had some special hobby?
But then he heard the youth say, “But before, my master always helped me with treatment and bandaging, so there was no need for me to do it myself. Therefore, it seems I am a bit ignorant.”
Si Feng’s eyes widened even more. He gritted his teeth and suppressed the urge to roll his eyes.
Sui Chunsheng leaned against the stone wall, seemingly pulling at his wound and taking a sharp breath.
Si Feng glanced at him with some worry, muttering softly, “Sorry.”
Sui Chunsheng glanced at him casually, “What?”
Si Feng’s face flushed, unable to repeat himself, he simply said, “Not hearing it is your own problem.”
Sui Chunsheng chuckled softly and didn’t tease him any further.
He glanced at the sky outside. The bell on his chest had shattered completely sometime ago.
He cursed under his breath, he should have cut off a few more arms from that monster.
It started raining again outside.
Sui Chunsheng took off the jade pendant from his waist and sniffed the agarwood on it.
His longing was like flowing water, like drizzle, continuous and endless.
After a long while, he took out some boxes from his sword space. Si Feng looked over with some curiosity.
He saw the Little Hibiscus Immortal open the boxes. Inside was a dazzling array of pastries.
Si Feng was dumbfounded, “Why are you so pretentious, bringing food with you when you go out. Aren’t you here for the secret realm trial?”
Sui Chunsheng wasn’t angry, casually picking up a piece and putting it in his mouth.
“It’s because my master was worried, so he prepared a lot of food.”
This time Si Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Sui Chunsheng blinked innocently, pretending to be naive, “It’s just that my master dotes on me.”
“Don’t you have a master who dotes on you?”
Si Feng: “…”
Sui Chunsheng saw his defeated expression and couldn’t help but smile. After eating some himself, he shared some with Si Feng.
Si Feng was reluctantly eating the pastries when the aroma of wine filled his nose.
Looking down, the youth handed him a small jar of wine.
The aroma was rich, refreshing and pleasant.
Si Feng widened his eyes, “?”
Sui Chunsheng: “My master gave it to me, probably because he was afraid I’d be bored.”
Si Feng finally couldn’t help but say, “Is the White Deer Immortal raising you like a young lady?”
Sui Chunsheng chuckled softly, “Take it or leave it.”
After a long time, the rain outside stopped.
Sui Chunsheng became vigilant.
Si Feng noticed his change and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Sui Chunsheng didn’t answer. He was just a bit instinctively alert. After all, the last time the rain stopped, they encountered that troublesome monster.
“It’s so quiet,” the Little Hibiscus Immortal murmured.
Si Feng was puzzled, “Isn’t it good that it’s quiet?”
Sui Chunsheng: “Since we fell here, many poisonous insects and little demons have been lurking in the shadows. But now it’s so quiet, you can’t hear a single sound.”
“There are two possibilities. One is that this rain has changed the environment here, and these poisonous insects and little demons have fled elsewhere. The other one…”
Sui Chunsheng pondered for a moment, “Is that there’s something more terrifying here, and these poisonous insects and little demons fled because they heard it.”
“Let’s hope it’s not the worst-case scenario.”
Moreover, when they were running for their lives, they hadn’t identified the direction at all. They just ran wildly in one direction, going deeper and deeper into the pit. Now, it would not be easy to leave this place.
The next second, the two heard a sound.
It seemed something was approaching them.
Si Feng shuddered, turning slowly, “You and your jinxed mouth.”
The sound outside the cave sounded like someone was stepping on the grass, making rustling noises.
And that person was walking towards their direction very deliberately.
Sui Chunsheng also couldn’t help but become nervous. He and Si Feng looked at each other, simultaneously gripping their swords and slowly drawing them.
At this moment, Sui Chunsheng’s face turned pale. His waist bent, looking very painful.
While observing the situation outside, Si Feng checked on him, “What’s wrong? Hey? You pretentious ghost! What’s wrong with you?”
Sui Chunsheng gritted his teeth tightly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
What was wrong with him now, he didn’t even know.
The sudden dull pain in his heart almost killed him, as if something was drilling out of his heart.
The sound outside grew closer, and the dull pain in his heart became more intense.
The intense ringing in his ears was like a steel needle piercing his head. He grabbed Si Feng’s wrist tightly, squeezing out a sentence from between his teeth, “If something happens, protect your own life.”
Si Feng gritted his teeth, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Sui Chunsheng: “Master, master…”
Si Feng quickly said, “What did you say?”
But the person had completely passed out, with no opportunity to answer him again.
The sound was already close at hand. Black shadows extended from the cave entrance, covering the two of them.
Si Feng’s sword was already pointing forward, his phoenix eyes staring intently at the cave entrance.
The next second, Si Feng exclaimed, “White Deer Immortal!”
Tan Zhui saw the two of them, his expression obviously relaxing. He had followed the traces detected by his divine sense, killing monsters all the way.
The moon-white clothes on his body were stained with all kinds of bloodstains.
Even his cheeks were stained with blood.
So much so that when Si Feng saw him at first glance, he almost didn’t recognize him. The sternness around him was completely different from usual, especially when he first entered the cave, his gray-blue eyes were eroded by darkness, revealing a kind of black hole-like blue.
The Little Immortal of Pei Lan almost drew his sword to attack, fortunately recognizing his aura.
Si Feng instantly relaxed, almost bursting into tears.
It wasn’t until his arm went numb that he remembered the youth leaning on his arm.
Si Feng quickly said, “White Deer Immortal! The pretentious ghost he seems…”
At this time, Tan Zhui had already stepped forward quickly, taking the youth into his arms.
Pale fingers caressed the youth’s cheek, with gentle movements.
“Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng?”
Sui Chunsheng’s face was not good, his body was covered in a layer of sweat, looking unwell.
His eyebrows were furrowed, and he was biting his lips tightly.
Tan Zhui: “What happened to him?”
Si Feng quickly said, “He was stabbed in the shoulder by a monster just now, but we checked and there was no poison or demonic energy in his body… Pretentious… Little Hibiscus Immortal, he also bandaged himself just now.”
Tan Zhui looked at the youth’s shoulder. This wound was indeed not unusual.
Could it be that he was having a nightmare again?
Little Hibiscus had a dream wandering spirit illness since he was young, although there have only been three times all these years, it was indeed real.
Tan Zhui reached out to feel his pulse, and indeed his heart was beating faster, and his pulse was rapid.
The White Deer Immortal quickly took out a medicine bottle, wanting to feed it to him.
But the youth was biting his lips tightly at this moment.
“Trouble.”
Tan Zhui handed the medicine bottle to Si Feng, and Si Feng quickly took it.
He reached out with his fingers to pry open the youth’s lips. To prevent him from biting again, one finger was placed on the corner of his mouth.
Tan Zhui said softly, “Trouble, feed him three pills.”
Si Feng quickly came back to his senses. Just as he was about to put the pills in, he heard the White Deer Immortal grunt.
He saw the youth biting his finger tightly, using all his strength, and he could even hear a crunching sound.
Si Feng: “Immortal Lord, your hand…”
It had already been bitten and was bleeding, but the White Deer Immortal only frowned slightly, “It’s fine, feed him quickly.”
Si Feng hurriedly put the pills into the remaining gap.
As soon as Tan Zhui took his finger out, he discovered that the youth had already bitten his own lip.
His eyes sank, and he pried open the person’s mouth again.
Until the youth bit down on the soft flesh between his thumb and forefinger.
Si Feng, who was standing aside, had an expression of disbelief, “Immortal Lord…”
Tan Zhui just smiled slightly, “If he bites his tongue, it would not be good.”
Si Feng felt that something was not right, but then he remembered the words Sui Chunsheng had said, “Don’t you have a master who dotes on you?”
