Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Chapter 77: White bone lotus flower

His body... hurts so much!

Jiang Wang woke up from unconsciousness and the first thing he did was to instinctively grope for his sword.

Luckily, the sword was by his side.

He opened his eyes only when he held the sword in his hand.

The first thing he saw was a hanging stalactite.

He was in a cave.

The whole process of the previous battle was engraved in his mind, without omission.

Ignoring the deer bull was undoubtedly his fatal mistake, which made him regretful. But when the deer bull leaped and charged, he had reached his limit and couldn't avoid it.

Before opening the gate of heaven and earth, human beings couldn't walk in the air. Jiang Wang could only increase his hang time by relying on the advantage of the Four Spirit Refining Body Art. He had no way to survive after falling from such a high cliff.

Not to mention that the deer bull's full force had already shattered all his Dao Yuan.

He still remembered the terrifying feeling of his body falling rapidly, his heart rising infinitely, as if it was about to jump out of his throat, taking away all his vitality.

But he didn't remember how he fell unconscious.

So, who saved me?

"Of course, it was me. I saved you with a secret technique."

This unusually charming voice seemed to see through Jiang Wang's psychological activities and floated into his ears from far to near.

Jiang Wang sat up and felt something strange in his body, but he didn't have time to examine it because the woman in black dress with a black veil covering her face had already walked in front of him.

She was very strong!

This was Jiang Wang's first judgment.

"Thank you for saving my life. I will always remember it." Jiang Wang thanked her solemnly and then asked, "May I know your name?"

"I won't tell you my name. Anyway, men are all the same. If it's too easy to get, they won't remember it." The black veil woman's voice was light and floating, as if it couldn't scratch an itch or fall into reality.

She stretched out her snow-white hand and gently stroked Jiang Wang's nose with her finger. "Just remember that it was me who saved you..."

Jiang Wang was not Zhao Rucheng, how could he go through such a scene? He had just escaped from death, and he couldn't help feeling nervous.

Fortunately, he held the long sword in his hand, and the cold touch of the sword made him slightly calm down.

He forced a smile, "I don't know the lady's name..."

He glanced at the woman's veil and said with a stiff smile, "I don't even know what the lady looks like."

How could he remember?

"Hehe~" The black veil woman covered her forehead and laughed, "You are so cute."

"Uh..." Jiang Wang instinctively tightened his long sword, not because he felt threatened, but because he was really nervous.

The black veil woman half squatted in front of Jiang Wang, her long dress sweeping the ground. She supported her chin with her hand and looked straight into Jiang Wang's eyes. "Don't worry, I will come to find you in the future. At that time, as long as you see me, you will recognize me. Unless you... pretend not to know."

Her captivating eyes suddenly showed a trace of sadness. "Will you do that?"

"No... no." Jiang Wang silently recited the gratitude scripture in his heart and said seriously, "I won't forget your kindness of saving my life."

"I knew it. You are a good boy."

A boy?This may be an old senior with successful cultivation...

Jiang Wang instinctively moved back.

But the woman seemed to understand his thoughts and coquettishly said, "What are you thinking? We're about the same age!"

The embarrassed mood was like a series of traps, always stepping into one after another.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask, "What's happening on the Jade Horizon Peak now?"

"What else can happen? We returned empty-handed." The woman in black veil said casually, then added, "Don't worry, your little lover is fine."

"What little lover! Ruyan and I are good friends!" Jiang Wang almost jumped up.

"I'm talking about the beauty from the Yunshang Kingdom. Why are you so excited?" The woman deliberately widened her eyes, looking surprised, but the narrowness in her eyes betrayed her.

"What beauty? She also wears a veil, who knows if she's beautiful." Jiang Wang couldn't stand being teased anymore and said, "I don't even know her, so please don't say such things..."

"Oh, you don't care about the beauty..." The woman blinked, "Then rest assured, your brother...is also fine."

She emphasized the word "brother".

Jiang Wang couldn't resist it anymore. If this was a contest, he would have already given up.

He simply clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for saving me. I will definitely repay you in the future. Now I have to go back. My friends must be very worried."

"Who said I'm your senior? Maybe I'm younger than you?"

"Then..."

The woman smiled, "Call me sister."

"..."

"Okay, I won't trouble you anymore. But have you noticed any changes in your body?"

There were indeed changes, especially in the back, where there was a slight cool feeling. But he had just woken up and this woman had approached him, so he didn't have time to investigate.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Wang asked.

"You don't know what you've become after that fall. You looked so pitiful..." The woman shook her head, as if she couldn't bear to recall it, "Sister saved you and made you so lively. First, because Sister has high cultivation, second, because of a powerful secret technique. Third...because you are particularly compatible with this secret technique!"

Jiang Wang felt something was wrong from the woman's tone. "May I ask what secret technique you used?"

The woman avoided the question and said, "You seem to have a vague connection with the Taiyin Star? There aren't many techniques in the orthodox sect that involve the Taiyin Star power, especially at your level."

Guiding star power was something that only Outer Tower Realm could do. If Jiang Wang had any connection with the Taiyin Star power, it could only be because of the Tai Xu Illusory Realm. But this was his biggest secret.

Now that he had officially transcended, he had more knowledge of the cultivation world. However, he had never heard of the Tai Xu Illusory Realm being mentioned by anyone. It was probably still far from being made public. Or maybe at Jiang Wang's current level, he still didn't have the qualifications to touch it.

Naturally, he didn't want to reveal it.

"Your secret technique...involves the Taiyin Star? From what you said..." Jiang Wang deliberately said, "You are not from the orthodox sect?"

"Call me sister." The woman in black gauze lightly hit Jiang Wang, which seemed more like flirting than anger.

Then she said, "We are one of the few orthodox sects."

"May I ask..." Jiang Wang vaguely skipped the title, "Which lineage do you come from: Mount Daluo, Mount Yujing, or Penglai Island?"

"Secret!" The woman in black gauze had laughter in her eyes. "Don't you want to take a look?"

"Look... at what?"

The woman in black gauze raised her delicate, boneless hand in front of Jiang Wang and then swiped her index finger down.

Caught off guard, Jiang Wang's upper garment was torn open, revealing his muscular upper body.

He subconsciously wanted to cover his chest with both hands, but it seemed too cowardly. So he just stood stiffly without moving.

Little did he know that this made him look even more awkward.

The woman in black gauze took out a small mirror from nowhere and slowly approached Jiang Wang, placing the bronze mirror behind him.

"Look at me," she said.

"Huh?" Jiang Wang was stunned.

"Look into my eyes~"

The woman leaned so close that her fragrant breath seemed to blow on his face through the thin layer of black gauze.

"Don't overthink... Just look into my eyes and see the reflection of your back in the mirror."

Clang!

Jiang Wang drew his sword.

The woman in black gauze seemed to show no surprise, remaining unmoved. She still looked at him, still so close.

Jiang Wang leaned back slightly, placing the sword horizontally in front of him, using the blade to reflect the mirror.

"This way, I can see it more clearly," he said.

Then he saw that at the junction of his cervical vertebrae and spine, a lotus had bloomed unknowingly.

It was an eerie lotus with white bone petals.
