Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 53 Where to Go?
How would you describe the state of mind when you have a "misfortune" in your head?
Like diving.

If He has moments of quiet, it is like diving into the deep sea, where the dark waters conceal everything, and all is calm and still, as if nothing exists.

But He is never still. Most of the time, His depth is like a free dive, with countless fleshy brains appearing and disappearing depending on the popularity of the outside world and the degree of suppression by Pei Xia.

And now, the tumor is surfacing.

Pei Xia felt as if he were sitting on top of Him, and the part that was still submerged in the water was just his buttocks.

He rested his chin on his hand, thinking carefully about what else he could do.

The conclusion I came to was that I was unconscious and unable to think.

This has only happened once in the past few years, in Weishan.

He survived that ordeal thanks to the fact that his entire sect gambled, fought, and ate hotpot non-stop for two days and two nights.

But this time, in the desolate wilderness, besides the equally frail Lu Li, there was only Xu Shangxin by his side.

The scoundrel under his buttocks rose a little higher, pushing Pei Xia as he was about to break the surface of the water.

Then, a very faint human presence came, barely managing to push the calamity pig down a tiny bit more.

This "little bit" has been repeated many times.

Like a drowning person clutching at the last straw.

Pei Xia didn't know how much time had passed when she began to smell the earthy scent, and the dampness on her cheeks brought a slight tingling sensation.

Consciousness began to return, and he gradually woke up.

With his physical strength gone, forcibly wielding sword energy mainly resulted in weakness, and he also sustained some internal injuries, mostly left by Xie Zu, but they were not serious.

He twisted his waist, and when he turned his head, his face was covered by hair.

He poked his head against the wall and, sure enough, heard Lu Li's irritated grumbling.

Nizi rolled over and turned her face over. Seeing Pei Xia's eyes open, she didn't say anything for a moment.

Until Pei Xia weakly said, "It's me."

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, then used her little hands to get up from the ground.

Pei Xia lay on the ground, looked around, and realized that he was still in the same place where he had fainted yesterday, and he could still see the blood he had vomited not far away.

He saw Xu Shangxin sitting under a tree with her back to him.

He shouted, "Why didn't you even light a fire?"

Upon hearing Pei Xia's voice, Xu Shangxin trembled slightly, then made rustling noises, as if she were frantically tidying something up.

She climbed up by gripping the tree trunk with her right hand, turned around, and forced a smile on her unusually pale face: "I... I don't know how to start a fire."

Ye Lu must have prepared something like a flint and steel in their luggage, but they lost most of it as they fled the inner city. Xu Shangxin wouldn't know how to make a fire with her bare hands.

When the elder brother saw Pei Xia wake up, his eyes lit up with joy. He reached into his pocket and said, "I have a cake here. I put it in my pocket when we were at the academy. Have some."

Pei Xia first looked at the cake in her hand.

Then look at her left hand, which she deliberately hid behind her back.

Then he glanced sideways at Lu Li.

Pear turned her head away, avoiding Pei Xia's gaze.

Pei Xia sighed, struggled to sit up from the ground, and then beckoned to Xu Shangxin: "Come here, let me see your left hand."

Xu Shangxin bit her pale lips: "There's nothing to see..."

"Bring it!"

She had no choice but to slowly extend her arm.

Even with her sleeves down, the bloodstains that had seeped through her clothes were still clearly visible, and at this moment, drops of blood were still dripping rapidly down her fingertips.

Pei Xia frowned, but ultimately didn't blame her. In a critical moment, there really wasn't much room for chivalry or consideration for others.

He could only ask Xu Shangxin to sit closer: "Roll up your sleeves, I'll bandage you up."

Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing that her once ivory-white arms were now covered with countless bloody cuts.

This was the faint trace of human presence that Pei Xia could always sense even in her dazed state.

Xu Shangxin sat beside Pei Xia all night, constantly inflicting pain on herself in this way, trying to help Pei Xia as much as possible through sensory stimulation.

There were too many wounds, some of which were even cut twice.

The thought of Pei Xia and Lu Li falling into a daze in the dark of the desolate forest at night, without any firelight, while Xu Shangxin was alone, trembling in excruciating pain, repeating suicide attempts.

Pei Xia couldn't help but twitch her forehead.

The girl's clothes were already soaked with sweat from the night before, so Pei Xia could only tear two relatively clean pieces of cloth from her own body to bandage her up.

He bandaged it very carefully, saying, "Don't worry, this kind of injury won't leave a scar when your body is reshaped after you transform into a spirit."

Xu Shangxin gave a soft "hmm".

She wasn't shy.

She was bleeding and somewhat dehydrated.

Okay, now that there are two adults and one child, we can't make a healthy person.

But at least we were finally able to set off and leave, albeit reluctantly.

Our current location is about ten miles outside Beishi City. Although Luo Xian might not send people to conduct a large-scale search outside the city, it's better to be cautious and leave first.

In fact, for the eldest princess, whether or not she could capture Pei Xia and Xu Shangxin was not important. As long as she could establish the charges and pin the blame on the Northern Barbarians, that would be considered a success.

From this perspective, running away might actually be a good thing, preventing those with ulterior motives from finding fault with him.

The three of them helped each other out of the woods. Since it was not convenient to go to the main road, they could only follow the relatively easy path and go as far as possible.

After walking for nearly half a day, Xu Shangxin was already a little exhausted. Fortunately, they found a relatively secluded valley nearby, and Pei Xia decided to rest there for the night.

Xu Shangxin has not yet transformed into a ghost, and her physique is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person. With injuries and traveling, she will only become weaker and weaker.

But Pei Xia was different, as were Lu Li; they were all slowly recovering as time went by.

To be honest, I'm still a bit unsteady when it comes to fighting, but I can walk normally without much trouble.

The fire was quickly started, and Pei Xia used his internal energy to kill a few small birds. He then asked Lu Li to fetch some water, and finally he was able to rest properly.

The elder brother leaned against a rock to rest, and Pei Xia took off her coat and gave it to her while helping her change her bandages.

The warmth of the fire and the food helped Xu Shangxin regain some of her energy.

She gazed blankly in the direction of Beishi City for a long time without saying a word. Finally, she silently turned her gaze to Pei Xia and asked, "Where are we going next?"

Pei Xia was probably also thinking about this question, and didn't reply to her immediately.

Without hesitation, Lu Li suggested, "How about we go back to Weishan?"

Pei Xia shook her head: "There's no going back."

Weishan was Pei Xia's sect, Xu Shangxin knew this, and she echoed, "With our current identities, going back would only be a burden to your master and the others."

"That's not..."

Pei Xia, confident in his understanding of Qingxianzi and his fellow disciples, said, “The old Taoist is very cautious. Although his use of Qi Track to borrow power is discreet, it’s hard to say whether there are hidden Qi Masters in Beishi City. I estimate that he is already telling his disciples to pack their bags and prepare to flee.”

Xu Shangxin lowered her eyelids slightly: "It's all because of me that you've ruined your sect's foundation..."

"Well, we in Weishan don't really have any established foundation."

Pei Xia explained, "This isn't the first time someone has fled on this scale."
