Chapter 154: Coolie

Yang Tian was drenched in sweat, feeling as if he had just fought a great battle. After all, the wound he had treated was in a really awkward place...

"Heh, definitely pretending to be asleep." Noticing the woman's eyelashes trembling slightly, Yang Tian curled his lips. This woman was truly too proud, preferring death to begging for help, more arrogant than a peacock.

Yang Tian pretended to be nonchalant as he quickly finished treating the wound below.

"Damn, I'll never do this kind of work again even if it kills me." Yang Tian smacked his lips, hastily covered the exposed skin, and dealt with it casually.

Clapping his hands, Yang Tian cast a subtle glance at the woman. Noticing her flushed cheeks, he didn't expose her and walked casually toward the cave entrance.

Hundreds of miles away, the entire sky was pitch black. The deafening sonic booms could pierce metal and split rocks. Dozens of surrounding mountains were blasted through, and every flying boulder turned to dust.

Wild winds raged. A supreme powerhouse in the void shook the mountains, and the gale in the void spread wildly in all directions. Even heaven and earth were pierced through, and astonishing phenomena appeared in the void.

Such terrifying energy fluctuations came through, revealing two incredibly powerful energies colliding violently. In less than a day of battle, many big shots had gathered around this region, and super forces had been alarmed.

People kept pouring out of the teleportation array inside the Demon-Suppressing City. The fluctuations even alarmed some supreme beings, who set out for the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Watching the colliding energy in the void, Yang Tian felt a surge of emotion. Could this really be a battle across time and space by supreme powerhouses? If his guess was correct, then these people's methods were truly heaven-defying.

After observing for a while, somewhat puzzled, he said to Yang Xiao, "Uncle Xiao, didn't this woman come back? Why hasn't that energy fluctuation dissipated yet?"

"I'm not sure either. I suspect that the girl's ancestor once had a feud with the Golden Howling Hou clan, which triggered this great battle." Yang Xiao also expressed confusion. This kind of battle across time and space was too illusory; he didn't understand it either, having not touched that realm.

"Then her bloodline should be fine, right?" Glancing at the woman still pretending to sleep, Yang Tian asked.

"Not only will she be fine, but she will also obtain an incredible opportunity. Her bloodline power is being awakened by her ancestor's will. This situation is very rare; this girl's luck is also astonishing." Yang Xiao said with some admiration.

"Oh..." Hearing this, Yang Tian nodded, silently praising the saying that fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Suffering a severe injury and gaining a great opportunity—worth it.

"This woman's luck is really good." Looking at the woman still pretending to be unconscious, Yang Tian muttered inwardly, then walked further inside.

Finding a clean rock, Yang Tian sank his mind into the Ancestral Dragon Ring...

After a long silence, the sky had already darkened. The stunning woman sensed that Yang Tian had entered a cultivation state, and her whole body seemed to soften a bit, exuding a lazy aura.

Although she had lost all her cultivation, her spiritual perception was extremely strong. She lifted her eyelids, glanced at Yang Tian's cultivation posture, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Her cheeks puffed up slightly. Looking at the wound that had been treated, a flush instantly spread across her beautiful face. With her enchanting appearance and her dreamy features, even heaven and earth paled in comparison.

She tried to sit up. As soon as her jade-like arm supported her delicate body, the wound inside was pulled again, and a heart-wrenching pain shot straight to her mind.

"Ah—" She let out a soft moan. Blood oozed from the wound on her arm, and her whole body collapsed to the ground, a pained expression twisting her features.

Sensing the slight movement, Yang Tian was instantly awakened. Seeing the woman's disheveled state, he smiled slightly and said, "You'd better rest for a while. Instead of futile efforts now, it's better to recover a bit first."

The stunning woman took a few deep breaths, raised her head to look at Yang Tian's face, struggled for a moment, then bit her red lips with her teeth and whispered, "Thank you."

Hearing this, Yang Tian's face showed a moment of astonishment. He gave the woman a strange look, wondering when this woman had learned to thank people.

The expression on Yang Tian's face obviously did not escape the woman's beautiful eyes. She furrowed her delicate brows, her red lips moved a few times, but in the end, she didn't speak the words that were hard for her to say.

"Haughty woman..." Seeing this, Yang Tian scratched his head and glanced at the woman's body. Though her wounds were dressed, her wild charm... her white dress was covered in countless slits, revealing glimpses of snow-white skin, stirring a wave of heat in Yang Tian's heart.

Yang Tian felt parched. He leaped up and walked toward the cave entrance...

"Hey... where are you going?" Seeing Yang Tian step out of the cave, the stunning woman sniffled, her eyes flickering slightly as she asked.

"I'm hungry. I'll find some food. Stay put inside and don't move around, or you'll reopen your wounds and waste the medicine."

A faint voice came back. The stunning woman's face showed a flash of surprise. She thought, This little brat says I'm wasting medicine? Does he know how many people would bring me medicine if I just said the word?

"Stingy." The stunning woman pouted. Her gaze fell on her tattered clothes, and her cheeks flushed crimson. Her beautiful eyes darted around nervously.

In the mountains, Yang Tian hunted a few game animals, then climbed to a high peak and looked ahead. Powerful experts were engaged in a terrifying battle ahead, and the surrounding spirit beasts had almost vanished.

"Uncle Xiao, are there any opportunists among these experts?" Yang Tian asked, looking at the many big shots in the void.

"Hard to say. Who knows if there are ways to plunder bloodlines now? In ancient times, one faction could do it, but they've long been extinct."

"Oh, so this woman is still a virgin." Yang Tian clicked his tongue. If these people came to rob her openly, she wouldn't stand a chance against them.

"By the way, Uncle Xiao, is the secret cave here?" Yang Tian remembered Yang Xiao once saying the secret cave was deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains. They should be very close now.

"Alas... the terrain in ancient times was very different from now. I'm studying the map now; I should have results in a couple of days." Yang Xiao said helplessly.

Many mountain formations had undergone great changes, so finding it wouldn't be easy.

After scouting outside for a while, Yang Tian hurried back to the cave.

In the cave, the stunning woman curled up...

When the woman saw Yang Tian enter, she instinctively shrank back, embarrassment flooding her cheeks.

Seeing her expression, Yang Tian lowered his head, a smug smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He started a fire to roast the game.

Rubbing his hands, Yang Tian hung three wild rabbits on an iron wire and skillfully applied some seasonings. Soon, the rabbits glistened with oil.

The stunning woman, legs curled, watched Yang Tian. She brushed a strand of hair from her shoulder and looked at the glistening rabbits, a hint of longing rising in her heart.

The atmosphere in the cave was unusually quiet, broken only by the crackling of the fire. The awkwardness between them eased somewhat.

"Awoo..." Little White was let out. Seeing the glistening rabbits, its big eyes sparkled with hope. It rubbed its white body against Yang Tian's, acting ingratiating.

The stunning woman's attention was caught. Looking at the mysterious beast before her, a smile appeared in her eyes. Such human-like behavior was indeed rare.

"Little glutton..." Yang Tian patted Little White's head, scolding it playfully, and handed it one of the rabbits.

"Here, you must be hungry..." Glancing at the woman, Yang Tian picked up another rabbit and smiled slightly.

Hearing this, the stunning woman looked at the rabbit, then at Yang Tian's faint smile. Just as she was about to step forward, she suddenly sat back down.

"Oh... change into this." Scratching his head, Yang Tian grinned and tossed over a clean black robe. "I'll turn around. You can change."

"Thank you..." Picking up the robe from the ground, the woman gave Yang Tian a complex look and expressed her gratitude. Today's events had been a huge shock to her, and she had been saved by Yang Tian. At the same time, she felt a secret relief that the person before her was just a minor martial artist.
