Chapter 1459 Unable to stand
While stroking Green Hair’s plump body and felt the egg under its belly, Feng Jiu was thinking quietly. Her mother should be safe when she went to meet Master Third Sun inside the Third Sun Peak. Master Third Sun couldn’t afford to get himself a bad reputation for harming his own disciples. Even if he wanted to kill her mother, he would do it secretly.
However, this kind of scenario made her anxious to let her mother stay around Master Third Sun. Her mother was just a Golden Core cultivator. If she could send her away from this place, for example to Leng Shuang, handling the rest of the things would be simpler and more straightforward. What’s more, only when her mother was safe and away from this place could she do things freely.
She sat in contemplation with Green Hair pressed in her bosom. The chicken couldn’t lift its head and could only lie in her bosom quietly.
After a good while, Feng Jiu stood up, released Green Hair, and entered her cave dwelling. She planned to rest until the evening to take a bath. It’s not convenient to rinse her body here since the cave dwelling didn’t have a room for bathing. She could only wait until late at night when no one was around.
However, around nightfall, when she was still resting in the cave, she heard Luo Heng’s voice.
“Feng Jiu? Feng Jiu?”
Outside, Luo Heng was shouting with worry, “Are you still alive?”
She jumped out of bed and went out sullenly after draping an outer robe. She scoffed at him, “What do you mean, still alive? Are you looking at a ghost right now?”
He was stunned for a moment and waved his hand. “No, no, I don’t mean that. I just want to come and see whether you are still alive.” Luo Heng answered. “Did you not encounter the beast tide at that time? You’re deep in the forest, how do you not have a single wound at all?”
Feng Jiu nodded. “I’ve also encountered it. I was at the mountain peak at that time and saw the beast tide’s rush from the top. By the way, how’s Senior Brother Chen? Is he alright?”
Luo Heng’s smile disappeared in an instant. “Senior Brother Chen, he, he…”
“What happened to him?” She caught his odd expression even though he concealed it with a lot of effort.
“What happened to him? Say it!” Feng Jiu urged him. She pondered with a heavy heart. Is Chen Dao dead? When encountering a beast tide head-on, people’s mortality rate usually isn’t low.
After Feng Jiu’s repeated questions, Luo Heng sighed and told her the circ.u.mstances at the time in detail.
“After I brought him back, I asked the people in the peak to give him medical treatment. However, they can only refine pills and are unable to his spine. A physician and an alchemist said that Senior Brother Chen Dao would be unable to stand all his life because he was injured in his lower back. Additionally, they said that he has already missed the time window for treatment.”
Feng Jiu frowned: “Where is he now? I’ll go and see him. ”
“I just sent him back to his cave dwelling, but he was so agitated. He can’t accept the fact that he will never stand up and started to smash all the things inside the cave. He didn’t listen to my consolation. I think you’d better not go there to avoid getting things hurled at you and get hurt.”
Luo Heng sighed again. “If I knew it earlier, I wouldn’t enter the mystic realm. The time we spent inside was very short and we left so soon. It’s not worth it.”
