The Next Defender

He slightly kissed her and continued to look at her.

"Oh…how rude I am?" he patted his head lightly, carefully moved her on flat ground, placed his arm under her head to duplicate like pillow.

Naughty smile appeared don his face, "Sigh…my defender is sleeping," kissed her forehead and let her sleep soundly. He kept looking at her face and slept again.

There was no second sound in the surrounding except normal sleep breathing sound. She wake up in the evening of that day because of the continuous falling of breathing air was touching her face which felt irritating; her head was on Qi Jian arm and face was against his bare shoulder she immediately stood up when she felt she was close to him but she remembered she fell asleep against the wall.

Qi Jian was sleeping soundly then who put me here? She muddled in her head. She decided to wake him up so that he could drink herbs for better health. She took half a day in thinking how she should wake him up? He moved and opened his eyes, she had prepared his last dosage, and she came and helped him up and gave the pot of herb liquid to him. He drank the liquid in one gulp, he looked at her, and his eyes were filled with gratitude, "Thank You Jen" he said to her. "It's nothing you had done more than this for me," she said nonchalantly.

She went in the corner and came back with newly bought male robs; she handed him and came out of the cave. He wore and it perfectly fitted to him.

He came out of cave and stood beside her, "Do you know something about Essence Chord?" she asked without looking at him, "Essence Chord" he muddled with his head for few seconds and said, "Yes! My mentor told about it once, when one reaches and cross Adroit Level with ease one would be given Essence Chord Attribute, in it without physical movement we can control many things with Essence Chord, but it is rare only Ace Expert could temper this Attribute if they are lucky enough," he shook his head.

"Is Essence Chord physical Attribute or belong to nature?" she asked another question, he looked at her and satisfaction appeared on his face, "It is hidden in human body, only double nature which survive in human body can grant this Attribute, double nature means Two Armors of Spirituality, it might be crucial Nod Tine or Acmes of Mind Palace," he finished his piece.

She nodded slightly, Qi Jian don't know what she was thinking.

It was pleasant to stand beside her. "I wonder who were two men and why did they brought us here?" "Only time can unfold this mystery," though there was sliver of notion in her mind but she was sure that it had relation to her Legacy in some way but she did not talk about it.

She faced Qi Jian with serious expression and said, "Qi Jian! This place is crowded with powerful Contemplators, their brute Contemplation is beyond limits of our homeland, the only survival option is to become powerful, here live thousands of Legend Contemplation Cultivators," he nodded and said, "I understand your intentions."


She went in cave and packed up her belongings, she handed necessary stuff which she bought for him and small pouch which contained twenty thousand gold pins, she gave to him.

"This" he was speechless, she hesitated for a while and said, "I fought and won a dual and got remuneration," he was reluctant to receive all this from her, she was younger than him yet she not only saved him from spirits also took great effort to help him regain, he felt ashamed.

She understood his reluctance and smiled, "Qi Jian you are good person, if you insist you can repay in future," she knew it would hurt his manly ego to accept her favor so she suggested repaying in future.

"Jen you are the most precious gem of every world," he hugged her, his heart was thumping loudly that she shuddered with his hug.
