Chapter 105 Butterfly Valley
Chapter 105: Butterfly Valley

Unknowingly, more than half a year had passed since the last incident in Xiao Yichen. That incident had set off a storm in the ancient land of Xianyuan, and even today, it still hadn’t completely calmed down.

That time, Ling Yin chased down the Immortal Burial Cliff, but he didn’t catch up to Xiao Yichen. Later, Daoist Qingxuan sent people to search under the Immortal Burial Cliff many times. Even after searching for a few days and nights, he didn’t see the corpses of the two of them.

After jumping off the Immortal Burial Cliff, even gods and immortals would not be able to leave their corpses. Therefore, many people guessed that the two of them would have been annihilated and turned into ashes by the power of heaven and earth.

…

It was early February, and the snow on the mountain was melting. There was still a chill in the bottom of the mountain. Streams flowed through the forest, and occasionally two fawns came to drink.

The grass in the valley was as green as grass, flowers blooming like brocade, butterflies fluttering about among the flowers. At the foot of a cliff, someone had built two small bamboo houses. There was a fence around the courtyard to prevent the hedgehog and badger from running in at night and trampling on the herbs in the herb garden.

Every day when it was sunny, a green-clothed woman would come out to sun the medicine, day after day.

Yi Chen didn’t know when he woke up, but when he woke up, it was as if his soul was still wandering outside. He could vaguely hear the spring water outside. He opened his eyes slightly and could only vaguely see a faint glimmer of light. He saw someone entering the room, walking in front of him, probing his pulse, and then the figure walked out again.

He could not see exactly who that person was. His consciousness was still a little blurry, and his body was unable to move. He could not open his mouth, nor could he speak. After smelling a faint medicinal fragrance, he fainted and fell asleep again.

After a few days, on the seventh day, he could barely move his fingers, and his consciousness became a little clearer. He could barely see that the figure was a woman in green, but he could only see a little of the outline and could not really see the person’s appearance.

“Wei … Wei Yang, is that you …”

He could barely speak, but with just a few words he felt powerless and unable to move.

“You’re awake.”

The green-clothed woman slowly walked over and gently probed his pulse. Yichen opened his eyes slightly. He still couldn’t see her appearance clearly, nor could he hear her voice clearly. He asked softly, “Young lady … who is she …”

The green-clothed woman did not say anything else. She gently waved her jade hand. Yichen smelled a faint medicinal fragrance and fell asleep again.

Another three days passed. When Yichen woke up at noon, he was finally able to see it clearly. The walls of the room were bleak, but it was very quiet and elegant. There were a few pots of unknown flowers on the windowsill, emitting waves of orchid-like fragrance.

“Squeak!” The door to the room opened. The woman in green walked in with the bowl of medicine. This time, Yi Chen finally saw her appearance clearly. He couldn’t help but be stunned, “Sister Shen Jing …”

The woman in green was none other than Shen Jing, who left Ning Village five years ago. She was only eighteen years old when she left Ning Village. Now, she was graceful and graceful, becoming more and more like an immortal. Her aura was completely different from before.

Yi Chen had never expected that she would be the one taking care of him these days. Could it be that this was Ning Village?

“You’re not well yet, don’t move.”

When Shen Jing saw how hard he tried to hold on, she hurriedly walked over to help him lie down. Yi Chen’s face was still filled with shock, “Is this Ning Village? Weiyang, where is she …”

Thinking that this was Ning Village, right under Mysterious Green Mountain, wasn’t Weiyang shocked by those people? The more Yi Chen thought about it, the more frightened he became. Weiyang still had a pulse on that day, but once he landed in their hands, how could he survive?

“I’m going to save her … Wei Yang … Wait for me, Wei Yang …”

Yichen struggled to hold on. Shen Jing let out a long sigh and said, “This isn’t Ning Village.”

“No … not Ning Village?”

Yi Chen looked outside and saw a few colorful butterflies flying in from the windowsill. “Then where is this place?” He said hesitantly.

“This is the Southern Domain of Xianyuan. It’s very far from Xuanqing Mountain,” Shen Jing said.

“Southern Domain …”

Yi Chen’s face was still hesitant. This was the Southern Domain, 108,000 kilometers away from Xuanqing Mountain. How could he be here? He tried his best to recall what happened that day. That day, he held Wei Yang and jumped down the Immortal Burial Cliff, but why didn’t he die? “Sister Shen Jing, what’s going on …” she asked.

Shen Jing sighed and said, “I found you by the stream half a year ago.”

“Half a year ago, by the stream …”

Yi Chen was even more stunned as he muttered, “Has it been so long? Wait, why did I come to the Southern Domain? Who brought me here? Where’s Wei Yang?”

Shen Jing said, “When I found you, you were the only one.”

“Only me? How is that possible? Wei Yang is with me. Impossible. If someone sends me over, Wei Yang will definitely be with me.”

Yi Chen struggled to get up from the bed and supported Shen Jing’s hands. “Sister Shen Jing, did you go back to look for me where you found me? Ah?” She said anxiously.

Seeing his anxious appearance, Shen Jing sighed and shook her head, “I’ve already heard about you. But that day, after I brought you back, I went back and searched all over the place. I’ve been looking for you from the head of the stream, but I’ve never found anyone else.”

“Wei Yang …”

Yi Chen felt a burst of dizziness. Someone saved him and sent him here. What about Wei Yang? No, it’s impossible …

Shen Jing sighed again and slowly helped him back to bed, saying, “You just woke up. You should rest well first. I’ll wait for you to recover from your injuries before making any plans.”

Yi Chen lay back on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. He recalled the situation from that day over and over again. “Remember … you owe me three things … one last thing … I want you to … live well …”

Immortal Burial Cliff, even if an immortal falls, she may not be able to see the entire corpse, but why is she fine? Could it be that Wei Yang is her? No, impossible …

Shen Jing sighed softly and walked out of the room, “You, have a good rest …”

The next morning, when she came in again, she saw that the medicine on the edge of the bed hadn’t moved at all, while Xiao Yi Chen was still staring at the ceiling in a daze, motionless.

Like a soulless, living dead man.

Seeing his disappointed appearance, Shen Jing sighed softly in her heart. She walked over and checked his pulse. The pulse gradually stabilized. After a long time, she said, “Your entire body’s meridians have been completely severed. In the past six months, I have restored your meridians, but your entire body’s strength …” She paused for a while before continuing, “I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to return in a short period of time.”

She had to encounter fortune, and her current medical skills were already beyond ordinary people’s imagination. She said that it would be difficult to recover her strength in a short period of time, which meant that it would probably never be possible for her to recover again.

How could Yi Chen not recognize it? At this moment, he was still staring blankly at the ceiling and said softly, “I am already a cripple. Why did you save me?”

Shen Jing did not say anything. After a long time, she said, “I went out to inquire about you that time. No one found you, and no one found Hua Wei Yang. Since you were able to survive, then she … might not be dead.”
