The Tao is far away

Wang Chi felt a headache when he looked at the pitiful woman in front of him.

He is not hard-hearted, but he has his own things to do and cannot change his plans because of momentary sympathy.

"I'll take you home!" Wang Chi said

Since Wang Buyan is the daughter of Carpenter Wang, she should just repay Carpenter Wang for saving her life.

Having said that, Wang Chi turned around and prepared to leave.

However, Wang Buyan was terrified and stayed where she was, sobbing softly. Her emotions seemed very complicated, as if she had unspeakable grievances and fears.

Wang Chi turned around, walked towards Wang Buyan, held her wrist and was about to take her away. He thought she was feeling uneasy because she was afraid to go home alone.

But Wang Buyan broke free of his arms and hugged Wang Chi from behind. She leaned her head against Wang Chi's back and cried softly, looking very vulnerable.

"Brother Chi, that's not my home. Please, take me away, okay?" Her voice was full of pleading and despair, as if she was avoiding something.

Wang Chi felt Wang Buyan’s tears soaking into his clothes, and the delicate body behind him kept twitching, as if he was her only support.

This feeling of despair made Wang Chi's heart tighten.

"Miss Yan'er, what happened?"

"I..." Wang Buyan's voice was choked. She tried to say something, but it seemed that she was too emotional to speak. She just kept crying.

Wang Chi felt that Wang Buyan must have suffered a great injustice or encountered something very bad.

Wang Chi let out a breath, gently pulled Wang Buyan's hand away, turned around, and gently wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"Come, I'll take you away!" He knew that this decision might delay him for some time, but seeing Wang Buyan's helpless look, he still felt a little reluctant.

Wang Chi slapped his storage bag, and a yellow-patterned tripod appeared in his hand. He then threw it on the ground and summoned the blood refining that had dealt with the bandits.

Xue Lian turned the cauldron over and injected spiritual power into it. The cauldron immediately became as big as a car.

Wang Chi jumped onto the tripod, bent down and stretched out his hand, saying, "Come!"

Although Wang Buyan was shocked by the sudden appearance of this person, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she saw Wang Chi reaching out his hand to her.

She knew that the man in front of her was serious and he would really take her away from the place that frightened her.

Carefully placing her hand in Wang Chi's hand, Wang Buyan jumped onto the yellow-patterned tripod.

Although she still felt a little uneasy in her heart, she had more trust in Wang Chi.

Driven by the blood refining, the yellow-patterned cauldron slowly rose into the air and flew away towards the horizon.

The huge tripod floated steadily in the air, like an ark in the sky.

Wang Chi saw that the wind was strong in the air and Wang Buyan was thin, so he was worried that she could not withstand the cold wind at high altitudes. He gently waved his hands and used his spiritual power to create a shield around her. This transparent barrier could resist the biting cold wind and protect her from the suffering of the cold.

Wang Buyan looked at the tall and majestic figure in front of her, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Wang Buyan felt an unprecedented sense of security, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she couldn't help but lean towards Wang Chi.

The sun gradually set, and the sunset shone on the faces of the three people.

Wang Buyan looked at the mountains below that were getting farther and farther away. This was something she had never seen before.

At night, in a dilapidated temple, the firelight illuminated the figures of the two people, bringing a touch of warmth and light.

Xue Lian stood guard outside the door faithfully.

Wang Chi and Wang Buyan sat by the fire, the crackling sound of the fire broke the silence of the night.

Wang Buyan lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and her stomach made a "gurgling" sound, which was embarrassing but cute.

Only then did Wang Chi realize that Wang Buyan had not eaten for a day.

As a cultivator, he had already been practicing fasting and felt almost no hunger, so he seemed a little careless about this matter.

He called out Zi Yue from the spirit beast bag. The little guy was howling with hunger and it was obvious that it was time to feed him.

As a master, he is indeed somewhat incompetent.

Taking out a can of milk from the storage bag, Wang Chi handed Zi Yue to Wang Buyan and said, "Feed her first. I'll go find something to eat."

Wang Buyan took Zi Yue with some hesitation. It was the first time she saw a "puppy" with wings, but Zi Yue's furry appearance and cute looks quickly impressed her.

"By the way, heat up the milk before giving it to her."

Wang Buyan took care of Ziyue carefully. The little guy had a big appetite. He drank up a can of milk in a short while and burped contentedly, revealing his round belly.

Zi Yue's cute appearance made Wang Buyan couldn't help but giggle. She hadn't laughed like this in a long time.

……

Not long after, Wang Chi returned to the ruined temple carrying a processed rabbit.

Wang Chi skillfully placed the rabbit on the fire and placed a few wild fruits next to the fire.

The firelight illuminated their faces, giving off a warm atmosphere.

Wang Buyan looked at Wang Chi's serious and determined face and couldn't help but smile.

Wang Chi turned the rabbit in his hand to make sure it was evenly heated, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Wang Buyan replied happily: "Nothing, I just feel very warm."

Wang Chi nodded, but he was a little confused.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Yan'er, why don't you want to go back to the Wang family? Are they not treating you well?"

The smile on Wang Buyan's face gradually disappeared. She lowered her head, as if recalling things that she didn't want to face.

However, she still mustered up the courage to say, "They used to be very nice to me, but as I grew older, I found that my uncle... Wang Heng, always looked at me in a strange way."

“It’s like looking at an object.”

Wang Chi frowned, his eyes became serious, and motioned for her to continue.

Wang Buyan buried her head in her arms, her voice tinged with tears: "I thought I was overthinking, but one day I accidentally discovered that he..." Her words became choked and she could hardly continue.

"You actually took my underwear and..." Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but Wang Chi still heard shock and disgust from her words.

Wang Chi was extremely surprised when he heard this answer. He didn't expect Wang Heng to be so...

He actually has such thoughts about his younger generation.

How disgusting! His brows were furrowed, and anger surged in his heart.

Wang Chi patted her shoulder gently and said softly: "It's really hard for you!"

"But why do you trust me so much? What if I'm a bad guy?" Wang Chi smiled, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere.

Wang Buyan raised her head, knowing that he was trying to make her happy, and said with a blushing face: "I believe in my father's judgment."

When Wang Chi heard this, he was also stunned. This girl is so silly and cute.

"Come, it's roasted, try it and see how it tastes!" Wang Chi said as he took the tempting golden rabbit meat off the fire, broke off a rabbit leg and handed it to Wang Buyan.

Wang Buyan nibbled the rabbit leg lightly, chewing it carefully, her eyes sparkling with satisfaction.

The firelight shone on Wang Buyan's face, giving her outline a soft golden hue.

Her delicate features seemed more vivid in the firelight, and her eyes reflected the dancing flames.

Wang Chi was stunned when he saw the beautiful lady in front of him.

He had never observed Wang Buyan so carefully before. Her beauty was not deliberately carved out, but rather exuded a purity and elegance naturally.

A faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of Wang Chi's mouth, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.

This feeling made his heart beat faster and his thoughts wander.

Wang Buyan noticed Wang Chi's gaze. She bit the rabbit leg gently, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

"nothing"

Zi Yue was sleeping soundly on Wang Chi's body, while Xue Lian was still standing outside the door.

Everything around him seemed to be still.

At this moment, the distance between them seemed to become closer, and their hearts were closer to each other.
