Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

This action made Guan Xun frown, and even Chi Rong was no exception. Such behavior was something no normal person could do.

Is this person planning to vomit up their so-called "repayment"?

That's just too disgusting. What kind of valuable treasure could be hidden so deep?

As the man continued to retch, his convulsive movements aggravated the wounds on his body, causing blood to flow out once again, soaking his already blood-soaked robes once more.

His face, so dirty that his features were unrecognizable, wore an expression of deep pain.

"Clang-"

A tiny, hard object was spat out of his mouth, fell to the ground, bounced several times, and then stopped.

Upon closer inspection, Guan Xun saw that it was a silver-white storage ring. Even though it was covered in thick saliva, it did not affect the translucent appearance of the ring, and it was obviously very valuable.

No wonder he's hiding it like this; such a bright and eye-catching thing is indeed very attention-grabbing. He's afraid someone might take advantage of his vulnerability to steal it.

Guan Xun used her spiritual power to lift the storage ring with some disdain, wanting to open it. She needed to take a good look at what good things were inside; as for saving people, she could think about that later.

Suddenly, she paused, realizing that the storage ring seemed to have been protected by some kind of barrier, and she couldn't open it.

"You...can't open it, save me first..."

The man's face was pressed against the ground. As he spoke, hot blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth. He should have died long ago, but he was still hanging on by a thread. His heart was already showing signs of bursting.

No wonder he so easily pried out the things she had hidden so carefully; he was certain she couldn't open them. His vigilance was justified; it would be a terrible injustice if she lost her life and her storage ring.

The person who possesses such a storage ring is certainly not an ordinary person. Although his clothes are tattered, they can be seen to be made of fine fabric. He must be the young master of some family.

After considering the matter for a moment, Guan Xun began to plan how to save the person.

The man's level was around 32, which was much higher than hers, but he couldn't cause her any harm. If he dared to play any tricks, she would definitely make him regret it.

She glanced at Chi Rong, signaling it to be on its guard.

Then, she placed her palm on the man's chest, her long, white fingers trembling slightly. Intense green spiritual power surged forth like a tidal wave, and wisps of mist, like sturdy tree roots, spread from her palm towards all parts of the man's body.

Wherever the green spiritual energy passed, the wounds healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood flowing nearby kept flowing back.

Such a strange sight would astound anyone who saw it.

Soon, the man's pale face regained color, and the moment he opened his eyes, he was unusually energetic, showing no signs of being on the verge of death.

He stared in shock at the green-glowing hand on his chest. After it was moved away, he immediately sat up and ran his hands over his body. He found that the wound had completely healed without leaving a trace, and even the pain had disappeared completely. His body had returned to its original state.

Not knowing whether the person in front of him was a doctor, he had only hoped that the other party could save his life with medicine. The miraculous treatment he was about to receive was unheard of and completely beyond his expectations.

God man!

This is simply an extraterrestrial being!

Guan Xun had no time to pay attention to the man in front of her. She took out a pile of dried beast meat from her storage ring and started gnawing on it. She was exhausted and had consumed a lot of spiritual energy, which her body couldn't handle. In the end, it was also because her body was relatively weak. It seemed that in the future, in addition to cultivation, she would also have to pay attention to physical training.

"A god!"

The man suddenly shouted, excitedly getting up and trying to get closer to Guan Xun.

Just then, he felt a blur before his eyes, and before he could react, something swept him down, sending him flying more than a hundred meters away. His newly recovered body crashed into several large trees along the path, breaking them with a series of thuds.

"puff!"

He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a metallic taste kept rising in his throat. He couldn't hold it in and vomited several mouthfuls of blood.

"Cough! Cough cough!" He lay on the ground, coughing incessantly.

Guan Xun:......

"He wasn't trying to kill you, so you hit him so hard, you might have killed him, right?"

"If anyone lets him get close, I'll just give him a light slap; he won't die." Chi Rong curled his lip.

Feeling choked by the dried meat, Guan Xun patted his chest a few times, cleared his throat, and then calmly closed his eyes to rest.

Having just recovered, she was attacked like this. She would need a long time to recuperate. She would just wait; the other party would definitely come back, after all, her precious storage ring was still in her possession.

Time passed, the cold moon had long since passed over the branches, and the sky was faintly beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

"Thud!"

A large hand climbed up the rocky edge of the mountain, and then the man leaped up, wiping the sweat from his brow, his breathing somewhat rapid.

Seeing his savior sitting on the ground at the cave entrance, he became a little smarter and didn't rush forward as he had before. Instead, he looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that no one else was there.

"What was that thing just now? It looked like a tail?" he murmured, sitting down on the ground with lingering fear. His gaze, filled with confusion, fell on the little fish, and he hesitated slightly. "Is this... a spirit pet?"

This fish is extremely strange; it can swim even when there is no water around it, so it is clear that it is not an ordinary spirit pet. It is not impossible that the attack just now was made by it.

As Guan Xun slowly opened his eyes, he used his spiritual power to lift the storage ring beside him to the open space in the middle. Without answering the other party's question, he changed the subject: "The repayment you mentioned?"

"Rest assured, my sir! My word is my bond." The man patted his chest, his face displaying an incongruous seriousness. "I will forever cherish the debt of gratitude you owe me; you gave me a second life! From now on, whether it's climbing mountains of knives or plunging into seas of fire, just give the word, and I will never back down..."

"I have a feeling this guy isn't quite right in the head." Chi Rong couldn't help but laugh. "Also, he calls you 'God-man,' Master. Hmm... I must say, he's quite dignified."

The man, speaking in a female voice, sighed and thanked them before launching into a jumble of random thoughts, showing no sign of stopping.

Guan Xun's eyelids twitched slightly. The scene before him was so incongruous that if he didn't look, he would think that a beautiful young girl was sitting in front of him, chattering incessantly.

"You're a physician, aren't you, divine being? This medical skill of bringing the dead back to life is truly unheard of. It doesn't seem like something the medical schools here in the Imperial Domain are good at. At least I've never seen it in the academy... Could it be from the Central Continent? That's strange, but I've never seen this kind of medical skill in the Central Continent either. May I ask where you learned it, divine being?" The man racked his brains, but couldn't come up with a clear answer.

Medical skills? This is not medical skills; it is a cultivation technique unique to the Celestial Realm.

Of course, Guan Xun wouldn't waste her breath arguing with the person in front of her over such matters. She let out a soft "hmm" and seized on the key point in the question: "Are you a student of the academy?"

Which academy's student is so bold as to venture into the inner perimeter alone and be injured like this? Why haven't the teachers come to look for him?

“That’s right, could it be that the Divine Man is also a student? Could he be from the same academy as me? I’m from Thousand Mountains Academy!” the man said with burning eyes.

Qianshan Academy?

Guan Xun was slightly taken aback. A level 32 spiritual master must be on the ranking list. The person in front of him was much stronger than Ye Kerong, who was second on the strong list. So he was... Hao Aman, who was at the top of the list?

She recalled carefully that when Hao Aman was mentioned, Ling Moyan's expression was indeed a bit strange, and he seemed quite hesitant to talk about her gender.

Now it seems that's how it was.

“No,” she denied crisply. “My family was poor, and I’ve been working odd jobs in small-town clinics since I was a child. How could I afford to go to college?”

Hao Aman clicked his tongue. These statements were obviously made casually, so how could he possibly believe them? Since the divine being had reservations, he decided not to press further. Thinking this, he chuckled dryly and said, "It doesn't seem like it at all."

“You can’t judge a person by their appearance.” Guan Xun glanced at him, then looked him over again. “You don’t look like a woman either, and your voice is quite different from your appearance.”

He paused, then scratched his head awkwardly: "Don't you find it strange?"

“What do you think?”

Meeting the other person's matter-of-fact gaze, Hao Aman's eyes flickered a few times, and then she laughed out loud. That's right, it's normal to feel strange, but the girl in front of her is quite frank.

"My name is Hao Aman. Where is the divine being?"

"Let's call him 'Godman,' it sounds nice," Guan Xun said casually.

"So casual? Heh, your personality really suits my taste." Seeing this, Hao Aman was no longer reserved and completely relaxed, her gaze falling on the other woman's blood-stained gauze dress. "I just saw the ground covered with monster corpses down below, seemingly sword wounds, I wonder..."

Guan Xun waved his hand to interrupt him, pointing to the storage ring on the ground: "Alright, how about the repayment?"
