I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 163: Are you really a mortal?

Luo Yu still remembers that she was badly injured.

Although she took a pill before losing consciousness, it couldn't possibly improve her injuries much; at best, it would only give her a little more strength to hold on until the sect members found her...

A large part of it is gambling.

Looking at it now, she sees that all the wounds on her body are wrapped in white bandages, clearly indicating that someone treated her.

Is it...

Did Gu Heng save him?

"Don't look, it's me."

Gu Heng coughed twice, looked at Luo Yu, smiled, and said, "Your blood has almost dyed that stream red, so I don't even dare to use the water in it to make soup."

Yes, it's definitely him.

Luo Yu pinched her arms and waist, and could still feel a slight stinging and itchy sensation, but compared to the intense pain before, it was negligible.

She was a little surprised.

How could a mere mortal possess such medical skills?

It shouldn't be.

Although she only suffered superficial wounds, unlike the true qi and power that invade the body when fighting with humans, which mortals naturally cannot heal, these simple superficial wounds caused by demonic beasts can indeed be healed by mortals.

But such a deep, bone-exposing wound... to be healed so well, and in just a few hours...

Luo Yu looked at Gu Heng with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. "You...you're not an ordinary person, are you?"

She felt that what she said was really silly.

It's not right not to ask.

Luo Yuzhen found it hard to believe that mortals could possess such medical skills.

Gu Heng watched the soup gradually bubble and boil, rolling his eyes: "I am a proper mortal. Miss Luo, such a powerful cultivator, can't you even tell the difference between a mortal and a cultivator?"

Luo Yu fell silent again.

Even he himself said so, so it seems to be true.

A mortal skilled in archery and possessing such exquisite medical knowledge not only dared to roam unscathed through the Cloud Spirit Forest, where all the demonic beasts were rampaging, but also unexpectedly saved her life...

If it really was all luck...

So even with that kind of luck, he still couldn't become a cultivator?

Could God really be so blind? "...Thank you for saving me."

This time, Gu Heng saved her and treated her injuries. Although it was inevitable that he would see her body, Luo Yu didn't care about that.

Without his treatment, it's uncertain whether I could have survived until the sect came to save me.

Luo Yu no longer believes in her luck.

Because she had already watched as all the Thousand Swords Sect disciples she had trained died before her very eyes.

Therefore, Luo Yu was grateful to her savior, and unlike other pretentious female cultivators who were concerned about having their bloodied and battered skin seen by a strange man after someone had healed them...

If he hadn't looked, he would probably have been nothing more than a beautiful skeleton buried in the yellow earth.

"Oh well, it's nothing."

"Besides, you had to lure away a terrifying monster for my sake, didn't you? So, in my opinion, we're even."

Gu Heng waved his hand.

Luo Yu fell silent.

Does it even things out?

If it weren't for those two strange creatures, she would have been devoured by the monsters long ago.

Where did those two simple little figures, which look like they were just randomly drawn on paper, come from?

Ever since she woke up, she's had this on her mind constantly, thinking about it desperately.

She thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, because the very existence of such a creature was beyond her comprehension.

Gu Heng picked up two clean porcelain bowls and shook the soup spoon in his hand.

"Would you like a drink?"

Luo Yu nodded. Her injuries were not serious, but her Dao power had not recovered much. Rather than rushing to leave now, it was better to stay here and observe the situation.

Gu Heng was generous and ladled out a whole bowl of hot fish soup for her.

This fish was caught directly from the stream where Luo Yu fainted. It looks quite plump, so why not eat it?

"Thank you."

Luo Yu accepted it without hesitation.

Holding the porcelain bowl and smelling the enticing aroma of fish, I felt a little dazed.

She vaguely felt that this young master Gu Heng was very approachable, yet somewhat strange, but she couldn't find the reason, so she simply stopped worrying about it. After all, he was just an ordinary person, and it was fate that they were able to meet now, but it was unlikely that they would have any further contact in the future.

The most important thing to do now is to conserve my energy, recover my strength, survive in the Cloud Spirit Forest, and wait for the sect to come to my rescue.
