Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 1440
Chapter 1440: Drinking water that was used to wash the feet
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. They only knew that the youth was an errand boy from Third Sun Peak and came in here with Chen Dao, other than that, they didn’t know anything else.
“It’s fine, once we return to the Sect we will be able to find out who he is. We need to leave here at once, the scent of blood is too strong.” One of them said and hurriedly led everyone towards the outside of the forest.
At the other side, Feng Jiu who had just made a tidy profit was in a very good mood. The pace of her footsteps was extremely fast and strange, as if her feet were not even touching the ground.
Around evening time, she found a source of water in the forest that was flowing downwards from a high place. The water was clear at the bottom with a few leaves floating on the surface.
After she had washed her face, she removed her shoes and sat by the water and soaked her feet in the water. The cold water penetrated her body through the soles of her feet and she closed her eyes as she welcomed the comfortable feeling.
“It’s so cooling.”
She murmured softly with a smile on her face and her hands behind her back. Her head tilted upwards as she squinted as she looked up into the sky and listened to the birds in the forest chirping, the wind rustling over the leaves and the relaxing sounds of the mountain spring. She was completely relaxed.
Sometimes she felt a bit at a loss, wandering around by herself and practicing by herself. She had led this kind of life for quite a long time now, and it was rare for her to have loved ones in her life. In fact, sometimes she just wanted to be a lazy and idle person.
When she brings her mother home, she would also go back with her. She didn’t care about the Eight Supreme Empires, it was better for her to return to her Phoenix Empire and be an idler there.
While she was deep in thought, she suddenly heard a voice coming from the forest. She was taken aback and stood up immediately. After she wiped her feet and put her shoes back on, she walked the trail of the mountain spring water.
About a hundred metres away, she saw two middle-aged men washing their faces in the spring water and then taking a few sips of water. As she watched the two men drinking the water that flowed down from where she had washed her feet in earlier, the corners of her mouth twitched and she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Who is it?”
The two men turned around immediately on guard and called out in a deep voice. After their gazes had swept around their surroundings and fell on the youth in azure robes, they frowned.
“Who are you?”
Feng Jiu’s gaze swept across the badges that were pinned on their chest and medallions that were hung down from their waist, and he calmed his thoughts. She coughed lightly then stepped forwards and bowed: “Third Sun Peak’s errand boy disciple Feng Jiu greets Martial Uncles.”
“You are an errand boy disciple from Third Sun Peak?”
The two men were slightly surprised as they looked at the youth in azure robes. They glanced at the medallion that was hanging from the boy’s waist and thought it a little strange. They asked in confusion: “You’re only at Foundation Formation stage aren’t you? You’re just an errand boy, so how did you get in here?”
“Martial Uncle, it was Senior Brother Chen Dao who brought me in here. I am in the same team as Senior Brother Chen Dao. However, we got separated when we encountered a Giant Bear in the forest. I was chased into the forest by the Giant Bear and that’s how I bumped into Martial Uncles.”
Her expression was filled with excitement and surprise as she looked at the two people in front of her with respect: “I have delivered medicinal herbs to both your cave dwellings Martial Uncles. I just wasn’t fortunate enough to meet Martial Uncles in person. I didn’t expect to bump into Martial Uncles here. I am really lucky.”
Truly lucky indeed, they even drank the water I had washed my feet in. She didn’t know what to say.
From the badges on their chests and the medallions on their waists, she reckoned that they were disciples of Master Third Sun. This was normal for them to be in here. After all, there were precious herbs in here that were not available outside.
But….
