Chapter 326 - 326. Jiao's Persistence
"Fine, if that's what you want. I'll just take you to the edge of this territory."
"But if you feel you need more help, you tell me. Don't hold back."
Jiao just nodded at the middle-aged man's words.
And after that, Teacher Liu helped Jiao get up from her position and then carried her flying by supporting the man's body.
The distance between where he is now and the edge of the core region is not too far, so if by air, it will only take less than an hour.
Passing through the flower fields and all kinds of scenery in the region, several fairies seemed to occasionally glance at Master Liu and Jiao.
With Jiao being seriously injured and being carried by the middle-aged man, it was certain that the two of them would be the center of attention.
However, not a single fairy approached them.
All the fairies that inhabit the core region have large bodies, the size of humans. That was because they had all taken a form-shifting pill.
Until some time had passed, Master Liu and Jiao landed on the top of the hill. A little information that the edge of the core area is only surrounded by hills with the outer part filled with web-shaped tendrils of plants that seem to hold the soil and rocks from falling, and after that, there is a layer of pure white clouds surrounding the base of the region. So that if only seen from the inner region, the core region only looks like a very thick and wide cloud.
"Thank you, Teacher Liu," said Jiao after standing up.
"Are you sure you can go back downstairs?"
"I should be able to, Teacher Liu."
"I can help you get back."
"No thanks. I've troubled you too much. Teacher Liu also has his interests."
"That's all for now, thank you."
"Hmmm, fine if that's what you want," replied the middle-aged man.
"Then I'll go first," he added and turned around.
Jiao just nodded with a smile on his lips. "Once again, thank you."
"Be careful. Hopefully, if we meet again, your body has been recovering," Teacher Liu replied and the next second the middle-aged man was already in the air. Looking in which direction he was flying, it seemed that the middle-aged man was heading towards Zaphyr Academy.
Seeing Teacher Liu's body shrinking from his sight, Jiao turned around.
Take a deep breath then exhale slowly. Without waiting any longer, the man immediately dove down.
Instantly the pain in his wound became more intense, flying against the direction of the wind made the cuts on his body feel very sore.
The numb wings he forced to move, just threw his body down, with a pair of wings that occasionally flapped to maintain the direction of his goal.
It can be seen, the man closed his eyes many times just to endure the pain in his body.
"Hold on, just a little more." A sentence he kept saying to strengthen himself.
Suddenly a feeling of dizziness hit his head, for a moment the man seemed to be flying in the wind, but a minute later, he was back on his axis. He tried his best to hold back everything he felt, for he had to get to the inner region.
The sun was shining brightly, but that was no reason for Jiao to slow down.

"Are you awake?"
"How are you feeling, Miss?" Meyleen asked the figure who had just opened her eyelids.
That figure was Fu Xie Lan, she just opened her eyes and a woman immediately charged at her with a question.
Looking at the sunlight escaping from the leaves, she could tell that it was now noon. The pain in her stomach had disappeared, as was the feeling of dizziness that had plagued her head earlier.
Even so, her eyes still felt dim.
Fu Xie Lan closed her eyes again and tried her best to normalize her feelings.
She forgot about her limits. Gu Yi had told her when she was still in the human race, not to use both mana at the same time and as often as possible. The man also advised them not to be too wasteful in using the mana in her body because her soul is not yet perfect.
Yes, at least until the seal that bound her body was completely opened.
When a person whose soul is not perfect uses the strength in his body continuously, then the body that the soul is in will experience exhaustion, and as a result, one will feel sick, tired, and fall unconscious. While the most severe impact, the person can lose her life because the mana in her body is instantly drained a lot.
As said the soul is experiencing a shock because of the sudden use of a lot of mana, not only that, a rudimentary soul is very difficult to compensate for all the excessive use of mana in its physical body.
And whatever happens to a person's soul the impact will lead to her physical body.
That was why, whenever Fu Xie Lan used the mana in her body excessively, the girl would fall ill and lose consciousness. All of this was caused by the exhaustion of her imperfect soul.
An imperfect soul has become a problem for one's physical body, especially if one's mana is also drained a lot.
Lucky that Fu Xie Lan only lost her consciousness after using up so much mana in her body. And her luck was due to Gu Yi's ruby ??pendant necklace that wrapped perfectly around the girl's neck.
The ruby ??pendant would not only relieve the pain in her physical body due to the reaction of the soul cover rune seal but also prevent further damage to her rudimentary soul.
Meyleen who saw the girl in front of her closed her eyes again and was silent and made no more sound. The woman waited patiently while hoping anxiously, she hope Miss Xie Lan is okay.
To be honest, Meyleen's mind has been out of place ever since. Somehow the woman kept thinking about Jiao who was heading to the palace to obtain pills.
BRUK...
Suddenly, a crashing sound came from behind the woman.
Immediately Meyleen turned her head to look at the source of the sound, and at that moment her eyes bulged sharply.
"JIAO..." Meyleen panicked as soon as she got up from her position when she saw the figure of a man who fell with his clothes and robes were torn everywhere.
"What happened to you?" Meyleen approached the man.
"How can you be hurt like this?
"H-how is Miss Xie Lan's co-condition?" Jiao stammered. The first thing the man asked was Xie Lan's condition regardless of the condition of his own body, it seemed the man was trying to lift his head, with both hands resting on the ground, trying to get up, but failed.
Meyleen who heard and saw the scene in front of her somehow made her heart hurt, her chest felt tight.
"H-healing pills...the cure... ..it's in my trouser pocket," Jiao stuttered in a voice that sounded very weaker than before, not only that the roar of his breath also sounded hoarse.
