Chapter 58: Ling Yu Xi

  Herod's Law

  The horse carriage swayed back and forth, with occasional neighing sounds coming from outside.

  Wang Shi slowly opened his eyes, and the next moment a wave of soreness washed over him, penetrating deep into his bones, making it hard for him to move, as if he had fallen apart.

  "I... this is..." Wang Shi's hoarse voice was somewhat weak. He was a bit dazed, his memories gone since he fell from the sky, and waves of dull pain came up from his head.

  "You're awake." At this time, a gentle and soft voice came, with some carefulness.

  Wang Shi finally made an effort to open his eyes and saw the woman's face clearly, with a hint of joy on her delicate face.

  "It's you." Wang Shi said. He certainly recognized this girl, the woman he had met once half a month ago.

  The woman's soft voice said: "You've been unconscious for a day and night, the injury is severe, but you're finally awake." The woman's face showed some relief.

  "A day and a night?" Wang Shi only then discovered that he was in a horse carriage, just large enough for two people, and his body was wrapped with bandages, like a mummy.

  Wang Shi let out a sigh of relief and looked at the woman, saying: "Thank you."

  "Hehe," The woman's laughter was as moving as a skylark. She asked curiously, "My name is Ling Yu Xi, what's yours."

  Wang Shi

  "Wang Shi..." The girl murmured the name, as if savoring the taste, her eyes sparkling slightly.

  "Huh? Yu Xi, little brother is awake?" A voice came from outside the carriage.

  "Ah, brother, Wang Shi has just woken up." Ling Yu Xi said softly.

  "Haha, little brother, you're really a cat with nine lives, it's a miracle that you survived. The injuries you sustained were enough to kill you once, but you managed to come back from the dead and now you're awake again!" The voice was as rough as his appearance, with a strong physique clad in animal hide clothing, a thick beard covering both sides of his face, giving off an air of boldness and a hint of foolishness.

  "Thanks for saving my life, big brother." Wang Shi said with a friendly tone.

  "Haha, Wang Shi little brother, just call me Ling Ye from now on. And it was my sister who discovered you first, and she took care of you for a whole day and night without sleeping at all. You should thank my sister too."

  "Brother." Ling Yu Xi pulled at her skirt, a flush on her face, her eyes staring accusingly at her brother for exposing all her secrets.

  Wang Shi's heart moved slightly as he looked at Ling Yu Xi and said, "Thank you, Sister Yu Xi."

  "Just call me Ling Yu Xi then." The girl said with some shyness.

  "Hmm, Ling Yu Xi." Wang Shi also replied readily.

  Ling Ye burst out laughing at this time, Wang Shi was perplexed.

  ……..

  Half a day passed, and Wang Shi had exhausted all of his Hui Qi Dan. Finally, in the dry sea of energy, he gradually nurtured out spiritual power.

  Wang Shi opened his eyes, and his pale face had some rosiness, and his right eye was also gradually stabilizing.

  "It's still too slow, at this speed, it'll take another ten days or half a month to recover to peak condition!" Wang Shi was somewhat worried, this injury was really too severe, his tendons and bones were almost all broken, and some of his internal organs had lost their function.

  And spiritual power is even more exhausted, and the boundary is somewhat unstable.

  "Damn it." Wang Shi shook his head, somewhat helplessly. Those foggy medicinal herbs were all lost, and now his only remaining stock was that broken Pearl Dan, which he had stored inside his clothes, sewn up tightly with thread. This made him feel a bit lucky - fortunately, the broken Pearl Dan was still there; otherwise, his losses would have been even greater!

  "Now he can only use his spiritual power to recover properly." This is a clumsy method, but he can only hold back his temper.

  As he spoke, Wang Shi closed his eyes, his breathing rapid, and spiritual energy began to flow throughout his body. A faint, crystalline glow danced across his skin, slowly healing his wounds.

  ………..

  Half a day has passed again.

  "Just recovered a little." Wang Shi opened his eyes and shook his head. The efficiency was really low.

  "King Shi little brother, this is my sister's roasted wild rabbit meat, it tastes extremely good, come, have a bite."

  As night fell, Wang Shi lifted the curtain of his horse carriage and saw a girl sitting beside a bonfire, wearing a windbreaker, roasting rabbit meat with skilled hands, her brow beaded with sweat.

  Wang Shi savored the warm rabbit meat, chewing slowly, but the texture was extremely tender and melted in one bite, with fragrance overflowing and a lingering aftertaste.

  Wang Shi was somewhat surprised, a young girl actually had such good craftsmanship. He didn't know if it was because he was hungry, but he ate with relish, and had never eaten roasted meat that tasted so good before.

  "Not bad, girl." Wang Shi couldn't help but feel a good impression. The girl was very pretty and could be said to be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, whether it was her slender figure or her face that could shut out the moon and hide the flowers.

  "Ah." Wang Shi shifted his body and surprisingly got down from the carriage, the coolness of the night made him cough a few times.

  "Huh, Wang Shi little brother, can actually walk now." Ling Ye was shocked to see this from the side, having just woken up for a day, with such severe injuries he could already get out of bed, this exceeded Ling Ye's expectations, and he scratched his head in puzzlement.

  Ling Yu Xi was also startled, her hands momentarily trembling with nervousness.

  Wang Shi smiled weakly and said: "It's just too stuffy inside, I want to come out and take a stroll. Take a breath of fresh air."

  "Ah, okay." Ling Ye thought it made some sense, so he helped Wang Shi to the bonfire, and Wang Shi felt even warmer.

  "Be careful, the night chill can harm your body." The silent girl beside him quietly took off her own windbreaker and draped it over Wang Shi's body.

  "Thank you." However, these three words could no longer be spoken from Wang Shi's mouth, and there was something unusual about it. The fragrance on his windbreaker was enchanting.

  ……….

  "Brother Lingye, where are you all headed?" Wang Shi asked.

  "Nature is going home, my home is in Qingcheng City, a small family." Ling Ye said, but the back was somewhat self-deprecating.

  "What's with Qingcang City?" Wang Shi's eyes lit up a bit.

  "Oh? How come, little brother is also going to Qingcang City?" Ling Ye looked at Wang Shi's expression and said with some delight.

  Wang Shi nodded and said: "To be honest, this trip is going to Qingcang City, to broaden our horizons."

  "I don't know where you little brother come from, seeing your skills are extraordinary, you must be a talented young man from a big family." Ling Ye said with some surprise.

  "Hehe, big brother, I'm just from a small mountain town, how can I be called a genius youth? You're overpraising me." Wang Shi shook his head and said.

  "Oh?" Ling Ye was shocked, looking at Wang Shi, and only then did he feel that there was not a bit of young master's demeanor on his body, but rather an unfathomable depth. Ling Ye couldn't believe it - the youth who could fight against the Black Snake King actually came from a small mountain town?

  Ling Yu Xi's eyes sparkled on one side, and her silence became more moving.

  "Haha, I was wrong, but little brother, why is this wound so severe? Was it inflicted by the Black Snake King?" Ling Ye asked.

  Wang Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded slightly. He didn't need to tell Ling Ye the truth.

  "That was really our siblings' fault." Ling Ye said with great embarrassment.

  Ling Yu Xi's eyes also darkened, with a hint of apology, if it weren't for her siblings causing trouble, Wang Shi wouldn't have been wronged.
