The Next Defender

The day was forcefully brought, she saw one after another weird things, how strange was this place, she talked to little people in the city and from conversation she could only understand the place where the duel was and she was walking was part Facet Manias and there were many other Manias which were more powerful than this one.

That means it was a place which was filled with powerful people if she wanted to survive she had to become powerful yet she was to face the person who ordered two men to bring her forcefully. She was stifling her anger all this time.

She took bath in the rock pond and changed in new dress, though its design was new to her but it was comfortable and proper to her standing.

She came back and examined Qi Jian; his breath was slow that one could miss it if one not noticed carefully.

She secured double cloth on his waist to down thigh then combed his hair. She did not use water on his wounds to clean them.

The weather was neutral here and it decreased her worry.

She did not sleep last seven months, she was dead tired.

She never study Contemplation this long in one set but it was necessary to keep guard, instead of sleeping she sat cross legged and dived in her contemplation.

Eye of Dark Sight was useful for her and if she had not learned it she might have died. She thought that it was fate that she was able to learn it.

She was unaware of its might and supremacy. She remembered she had bought storage bracelet, she did read once in the library of Yellow River but she had not time to ask her mentor about it, she was regretful but did not lose heart.

She focused on her Insights for the time being. Next day she removed previous herbs paste from his wounds and applied fresh one.

On fourth day his wounds got better, his face got clear and fine as it was in his homeland, few body injuries were still healing, she could not use her Vitality Essence to help him regain because of the phenomena which she witnessed in the battle back then.

On the seventh day he moved little, she immediately prepared the liquid paste and help poured in his mouth, because of sliver consciousness it went down straight.

After few minutes he went in sleep again.

His breathing got normal and he sleeping soundly. Jen heaved sigh of relief to see his better condition.

She got dead tired by these seven days she was already sleepless for seven months, she was swaying with her tired body, compelling herself to stay awake but it was too much for her age.

Her eyes close herself and she collapsed and fell into sleep, cave was small not proper cave in fact, its opening was not wide and it was little unnoticeable.

The second day Qi Jian slowly opened his eyes, he saw rock roof, he remembered that two spirits like objects were dragging him when he lost consciousness and his body was full of injuries. He felt his body was in better condition now.


He move but there was someone else too. in the blur light he saw someone in girl clothing, sitting against the rock wall, long black hair were trying to hide her fair face.

The first word he spoke, "Jen" she was sleeping without proper rest place that means she was too tired.

He put some effort to support himself to sit, "It looks like I was lying for more than week like it is," he murmured, his body was straightened by the same position, he stretched his body a little.

He moved beside her, used his finger to take away that hair which was trying to hide her face, smiled.
