Chen Yin was in a trance for a moment. Just when he was about to turn his head to look at the statue again, he found that he had returned to the mountain stream.
Behind him were the low roars of a mother and cub purple-bearded thunder-mane tiger, and in front of him were a few pheasants with equally confused looks on their faces.
Chen Yin pondered for a moment and then gave up the idea.
...He had long felt that there must be a huge secret hidden behind this scroll.
But it should have nothing to do with who I am now.
He and the pheasant in front of him looked at each other in surprise.
"But thank you so much. If it weren't for catching you, I wouldn't have discovered this place."
"In return, I won't be polite." He chuckled.
Pheasant: “……?”
-
When she came back, Shen Shuanglian's eyes were already red.
Chen Yin: "...Although I came back a little late, I can explain."
Shen Shuanglian: "I don't have to listen."
"…I was wrong. I'm sorry."
Shen Shuanglian pursed her lips tightly and stared at Chen Yin's face without saying a word.
Chen Yin sighed and said to himself while killing the chicken: "If you want to hit me or scold me, you can. As long as you are happy."
"But before that, you have to drink the chicken soup obediently."
By the time Chen Yin finished making the chicken soup, it was already completely dark. He walked over to Shen Shuanglian holding a small stone bowl.
Shen Shuanglian was about to take the bowl when she heard Chen Yin say, "Don't be impatient."
He held the bowl, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it carefully to cool it down, and then handed it to her mouth.
"You're afraid of the heat. Drink slowly."
Shen Shuanglian looked at him blankly, then took small sips of the spoon and swallowed it obediently.
"So, the reward you mentioned is to feed me soup?"
"Isn't that enough?" Chen Yin asked back.
"……enough."
Shen Shuanglian drank the whole bowl of soup, licked her red lips with her tongue with a look of satisfaction, and then timidly shrank back into her clothes.
Chen Yin placed his hand on her wrist and frowned slightly: "You are recovering a little slowly."
“I didn’t expect the spiritual power in that demon pill to be so rich. There is still so much left.”
Shen Shuanglian suddenly realized something, and subconsciously stepped back, staring at Chen Yin vigilantly.
Chen Yin looked helpless: "Well, I can't help it. This is for your injury."
Shen Shuanglian said seriously, "It hurts."
"I'll be gentler."
"You said the same thing yesterday."
"..."
(Just got off the plane. Ended my college life.)
(I was tired, sleepy, and filled with emotion, but I finally managed to take this picture on the plane.)
(I don’t know how this recommendation will turn out, and I don’t know what the future of this book will be like)
(I should be able to update more in the next two days. I hope to witness higher scenery.)

41. The only home
A morning when the sudden rain has stopped.
Every morning in Tiantu Dangerous Area, there is fog. The fog here seems to last all year round, and you may lose your sight if you walk a few more steps.
At the foot of Wanyun Mountain, near the edge of the Tiantu Dangerous Area, several groups of monks were searching wildly. They were dressed in different clothes, some were wearing Wuling Sect's Taoist robes, some were wearing Tianluo Sect's robes, and some were wearing Wanxiang Pavilion's own robes.
So many monks braved the heavy fog and slowly searched in the vast woods.
"Hey brother, are you from Tianluo Sect here to look for someone as well?"
"But that's right. Who dares not to obey the death order given by our eldest sister? You don't know that when our eldest sister gets angry, even the master and his wife can't stop her."
"Alas, your eldest sister lost her lover, but in our case, we lost the eldest sister herself. I am confused, what charm does that guy have that can make the eldest sisters of the two families risk their lives for him?"
"I heard that the boy has a handsome face. Could he be the one that the two fairies are fighting for?"
"Now that you mention it... no wonder the two fairies are always at loggerheads with each other every time they meet."
"But even so, what kind of place is the Tiantu Dangerous Area? Even the great masters of the Taiqing Realm would lose a lot of skin, so how could those two survive if they fell into it?"
"No matter what it is, we still have to endure the trouble of searching in such a dangerous place..."
While the sect disciples were whispering, a light black shadow was hiding in the woods, listening to their conversation silently.
As soon as the searching disciples left, the phantom suddenly became elusive and headed straight towards the depths of the dangerous Tiantu area.
Beneath the veil, Yu Xiang's haggard and worried face was revealed.
...Senior Brother.
You must not get into any trouble.
-
The fifth day after falling off the cliff.
It seemed that he had adapted to the primitive life like the cavemen, and Chen Yin began to relax gradually.
Through his unremitting efforts every night, the disordered spiritual power hidden in Shen Shuanglian's meridians was gradually absorbed by the meridians and turned into nutrients to repair the meridians.
Shen Shuanglian's complexion improved day by day. Compared with before she fell off the cliff, she seemed less cold and more radiant.
Now Chen Yin would go out to look for food every day while humming a little tune. He would eat all the meat and vegetables that could go well with rice, and pack them up and bring them back to Shen Shuanglian to nourish her body.
The purple-bearded thunder-maned tiger mother and son seemed to be less hostile to Chen Yin since he came out of the barrier. When they met in the mountain stream several times, Chen Yin even greeted them with a smile.
The intelligence of a spirit beast is related to its cultivation. A spirit beast like the Purple Bearded Thunder Mane Tiger has a high intelligence. After getting to know each other, Chen Yin also had a general understanding of the situation in the Tiantu Dangerous Territory.
First of all, the dangerous area of Tiantu may be far greater than one imagines.
After all, the main pavilion of Wanxiang Pavilion was built on the mountain, on the edge of the Tiantu Dangerous Area. Therefore, the place where he and Shen Shuanglian fell was not the central location of the Tiantu Dangerous Area.
The mother and son of the purple-bearded thunder-maned tiger had never seen the true center of the Tiantu Dangerous Territory. They just kept growling, as if there was something terrifying in the center.
In the past, Chen Yin would have been quite curious about this matter. However, with Shen Shuanglian, a burden, still by his side, he did not want to take the risk of causing more trouble.
Now, when he has nothing to do, he catches chickens, fishes, and strokes the fur of the purple-bearded thunder-mane tiger cubs. His life is pretty leisurely and comfortable.
When the sun was high in the sky, Chen Yin, as usual, returned to the cave carrying a few caught pheasants and humming a little tune.
"Xiao Shuangshuang~ Today we have chicken soup again~"
There was no response from the cave.
Chen Yin narrowed his eyes slightly, put down the pheasant, and lowered his head to explore the cave.
...There are no signs of fighting, so the eldest sister should be safe.
I just don't know why she ran out alone with her injured body.
Chen Yin searched all the way around the cave. After searching most of the mountain stream, he suddenly heard a series of noises in the pool in front of the waterfall.
He pushed aside the bushes and took a look into the pool of water under the waterfall.
……really.
In the clear water, Shen Shuanglian's smooth jade back was stained with a few drops of water, like a piece of warm jade. She held up her hair with one hand, and her white fingers brushed across her fair neck, lifting a handful of water and gently sprinkled it from the top of her head.
The water splashed across her pure and otherworldly face. Her slightly moist red lips had a touch of delicate beauty, and even her elegant eyelashes were stained with water droplets.
As if she had merged with the lake water, the sky and water were the same color. Her back, as clear and bright as the moonlight, became even more eye-catching.
"How come she's been here for several days and she still smells so good."
After just one look, Chen Yin was too lazy to leave. He simply bit the grass roots openly and happily admired this pleasing picture of a beautiful woman emerging from the bath.
Shen Shuanglian paused for a moment, then whispered:
"Does it look good?"
"It must look good."
Chen Yin gave a thumbs up.
"I didn't make you proud, okay?"
Shen Shuanglian sighed softly and waved her hand. The water wrapped around her body and her clothes floated to the shore. But when she turned around, Chen Yin didn't see anything. She was already standing on the shore with her clothes on.
Her beautiful eyes were as clear as if they had just been washed, and she stared at Chen Yin with burning eyes.
Chen Yin scratched his nose awkwardly: "Uh... Oh, it's not a big deal. It's just peeking at someone taking a bath."
"I wonder if there are any places we haven't seen yet. What's there to be shy about—"
Before he could finish his words, Shen Shuanglian raised her foot and kicked him directly into the pool.
Chen Yin paddled awkwardly in the puddle for a few times before emerging with his head covered in dirt and said angrily:
"Hey! You don't have to be so cruel, right?"
"You deserve it." Shen Shuanglian's tone remained unchanged, but there was a faint smile in her eyes.
"A husband and wife are bound by grace for a hundred days, okay? You are murdering your husband!"
"If you can be drowned in this pool of water, then don't come out."
"Hey, you're really honest. What if I really can't swim?"
"I didn't ask you to go swimming." She frowned slightly in disgust, "Hurry up and wash yourself. Otherwise, you will stink."
"..."
Chen Yin smelled himself with a depressed look on his face. Could it be that he really stinked?
But you should at least wait until I take off my clothes before kicking it off!
Chen Yin coughed dryly and said seriously, "Now that we are here, I saw that Senior Sister got up in a hurry. I guess she didn't even finish washing before she hurried ashore."
"Why don't we slow down and take a good bath together this time? I can also give Senior Sister a good back rub or something—"
Bang. The pool of water in front of him exploded slightly, splashing water all over Chen Yin's head.
Shen Shuanglian hid the blush on her cheeks very well and said softly, "Wash it well. If you keep stinking, you are not allowed to go to bed at night."
Without saying a word, Chen Yin immediately dived into the pool.
Shen Shuanglian sat on a rock by the shore, gazing at the sparkling water with a melancholy look, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a while, Chen Yin walked out of the pond, dried the water on his body, turned to the dazed Shen Shuanglian and said:
"What are you thinking about? So entranced?"
"……nothing."
Shen Shuanglian concealed the sadness in her eyes, stood up and said softly, "Go back."
"After today, it's almost time to think about how to get out."
Chen Yin's expression suddenly fell.
"Alas. Happiness is always so short-lived."
Shen Shuanglian didn't say anything, just bit her lip.
All the way back to the cave, Chen Yin killed a pheasant and boiled chicken soup, and drank a big bowl of it happily. However, Shen Shuanglian seemed to be worried about something, and drank the soup absent-mindedly.
Chen Yin wiped his mouth, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"...I was thinking, after I get out, how should I explain your situation to the elders of the sect."
