The stench of corruption that kept pouring into his nasal cavity pulled Zhao Mu's consciousness back from the endless darkness.

"Hmm~"

“What a terrible smell!”

"Ugh~"

He suddenly opened his eyes, but before he had time to observe the surrounding situation, Zhao Mu knelt on his knees, supporting his upper body with his hands, and retched one after another.

I felt better only after I quickly blocked my sense of smell.

Although he still felt uncomfortable, Zhao Mu wanted to laugh out loud.

It's not that he's crazy, it's that he survived.

He survived without the protection of the protagonist's halo.

Of course, this is just the beginning. If he wants to leave the Blood Abyss alive, he still needs to go through a lot.

So he quickly calmed himself down.

Look around.

Only then did he realize why a foul odor was flooding into his nasal cavity.

It turned out that not far from him, there was an unknown beast that had begun to rot.

After a quick self-examination, Zhao Mu found that he was in good condition.

The wound that was originally cracked has scabbed over again.

Apart from the weakness caused by excessive blood loss, there were no other problems.

Then, he started looking for Yan Bingqing again.

Without the thick fog that blocked her view when she fell off the cliff, Zhao Mu found her at a glance.

She lay quietly by the pond about ten feet away from him.

"Senior sister, senior sister!"

Zhao Mu shouted weakly as he staggered towards the pool.

Can.....

Yan Bingqing didn't react at all.

This made Zhao Mu a little worried about her condition.

After arriving beside Yan Bingqing, Zhao Mu sat on the ground, helped her up, and leaned her against him.

Call ~

After reaching out to check Yan Bingqing's breath with some worry, Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although her breath was weak, she was still alive.

"Senior sister, senior sister, wake up!"

Zhao Mu gently patted Yan Bingqing's cheek, trying to wake her up.

At this moment, a breeze happened to blow by, causing Yan Bingqing's somewhat messy collar to bulge slightly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the scenery inside.

This sight left Zhao Mu stunned.

"This is....."

Zhao Mu, who didn't see through everything, reached out to Yan Bingqing's collar, wanting to completely unbutton her clothes to find out what was going on.

Just at this moment, Yan Bingqing slowly opened her eyes.

The pupils, which had originally turned dark purple due to the Shura Demon Heart breaking the seal, now returned to their inky black state and were very bright.

Although it lacks the enchanting dark purple pupils, it has a bit more coldness and is still very beautiful.

However, at this moment, a trace of panic and fear flashed in these cold eyes.

"Zhao...Zhao Mu..."

"You...what are you going to do..."

“No…..No…”

“I…I’m so ugly…”

"Can you please not do this to me..."

Yan Bingqing's eyes were full of pleading, but because she was too weak, even her begging for mercy was intermittent.

But Zhao Mu acted as if he didn't hear anything, and desperately pulled open Yan Bingqing's collar with his hands.

The next moment, a white cloth strip wrapped around the body appeared in Zhao Mu's sight.

Zhao Mu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yan Bingqing to use this thing. No wonder it looked ordinary, but it was quite amazing when he touched it before.

However, Zhao Mu's gaze only stayed on this thing for a moment before he immediately moved upwards.

Cracks, lots of cracks.

Extending all the way down.

Zhao Mu was shocked by what he saw.

"Senior Sister, what's going on?"

Yan Bingqing remained silent, her cold eyes slightly turned away, unwilling to look at Zhao Mu.

"Is this the consequence of using the Bloodthirsty Spirit Pearl to forcibly increase my cultivation?"

Seeing Yan Bingqing like this, Zhao Mu asked angrily.

She still said nothing, and Zhao Mu became even angrier.

But as he got angry, his anger gradually faded, and was replaced by heartache for Yan Bingqing.

"Yan Bingqing, don't think you'll be alright if you don't speak!"

"Let me ask you, why don't you use Blood Spirit Escape? Why do you have to take such a risk?"

"Don't run away, tell me!"

Zhao Mu didn't understand. He could have used the Blood Spirit Escape to escape directly, so why did he have to make such a mess?

"Blood Spirit Escape can only allow me to escape on my own. If you use it, you will die!"

After a long silence, Yan Bingqing could no longer bear Zhao Mu's gaze and finally spoke.

"Why? Blood Spirit Escape can clearly take it away..."

"This Blood-sucking Spirit Pearl is incomplete, and the power of the Blood Spirit Escape is only half reduced!"

“…”

Hearing this, Zhao Mu looked at Yan Bingqing's cold eyes, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long silence, he reached out to Yan Bingqing and helped her tidy up her clothes.

Yan Bingqing said nothing and just watched him help her get dressed.

Zhao Mu didn't speak, and she didn't know what to say.

The silent atmosphere continued until Zhao Mu helped her button the last button.

"Senior sister!"

"Ok?"

"Is it easy to recover from the negative effects of using the Bloodthirsty Spirit Pearl to improve cultivation?"

“…”

Yan Bingqing fell silent again.

Zhao Mu's heart skipped a beat and he asked:

"Is it.....no hope?"

Yan Bingqing remained silent, but Zhao Mu knew the answer.

"Did you know from the beginning that you were going to die?"

"Ok!"

This time, Yan Bingqing gave a positive answer.

"So, before, you proposed to help me lure away those three Tiangang realm masters because you knew you were hopeless?"

"Ok!"

Yan Bingqing was no longer silent.

Because he was so smart, he could guess even if she didn't say anything.

"Then why did you listen to me and come to Canglan Peak?"

Zhao Mu was quite puzzled about this.

"You are too weak. Even if I successfully lure away those three Tiangang Realm cultivators, you will most likely not be able to escape the pursuit of the others."

"At that time, I saw that you were full of confidence, so I naturally chose to listen to you."

"After all, this way your chances of survival will be greater."

Too weak...

This comment made Zhao Mu smile bitterly.

Yes, he is too weak. Two outer disciples can defeat him.

And they didn't escape far from Xuantian Dao Sect.

If Xuantian Dao Sect sent out outer disciples to search, the probability of him escaping would be very slim.

After a moment's silence, Zhao Mu raised his eyes and looked at Yan Bingqing.

"why?"

"what?"

Yan Bingqing was a little confused.

"Why did you sacrifice your own life to help me escape when you could have gotten away on your own?"

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered all this. You were completely implicated by me. In this situation, how could I possibly watch you die..."

"Yan Bingqing!"

"what?"

"You know, that's not what I want to hear."

"..."

Yan Bingqing remained silent and turned her gaze away from Zhao Mu.

fraud.

She had clearly said that the fact that he liked her had nothing to do with her, and she shouldn't feel any burden.

Now they are forcing her to express her position.

Although he is really nice and it feels comfortable to be with him.

He was even willing to live and die with her.

Can......

She is beyond saving!

How can you say those words?

It's better to remain silent.

Yan Bingqing dodged, but Zhao Mu did not intend to let her go. He was not blind and some things could not be hidden.

This stupid woman definitely felt that she was hopeless, so she didn't want to delay him.

However, although he knew it in his heart, Zhao Mu was not going to expose it.

He wanted to see how long Yan Bingqing could remain stubborn.

die?

Dream on!

I must make sure you survive.

"Zhao Mu, what are you doing?"

Yan Bingqing noticed that Zhao Mu's hands suddenly reached towards her lower back.

"Yan Bingqing, you're so stupid!"

Zhao Mu cursed with a stern face, "What else can I do? Of course, I'm going to save your life!"

"Don't forget, before you jumped off the cliff, you promised me that as long as we entered the Blood Abyss alive, you would owe me your life."

"Now, your life belongs to me. You are not allowed to die without my permission."

“…”

Yan Bingqing stared blankly at Zhao Mu's furious expression.

Then....

The corners of the mouth are slightly raised.

He smiled for the first time.

It was so beautiful that Zhao Mu was almost crazy about it.
