The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 157

Chapter 157 Miss Su Clan
“That’s right, it’s in the Eastern Region. Is there a problem?” Su Jingxiang blinked her eyes, feeling a little strange in her heart.

Li Qing muttered to himself, shaking his head, his eyes flashing with confusion. “How is that possible? How is that possible?”

This was truly inconceivable. The Eastern and Southern Regions were incomparably far apart. It was unknown how many tens of thousands of kilometers away. Even a powerful martial artist would need to walk for an entire year to arrive. How could he appear in such a distant place for no apparent reason?

“Could it be that the Demon Ancestor used some kind of great divine ability to send me and Liu Ke’er out? If that’s the case, why isn’t Ke’er by my side?” He was thinking quickly in his heart.

His guess was actually close to the truth.

After all, with Demon Ancestor’s strength, he was comparable to the gods in the sky, and his methods were heaven-reaching. It wasn’t too strange for him to do such a thing. No wonder Li Qing thought of this.

However, the problem was that Liu Ke’er was no longer around. This was the most unbearable thing for Li Qing.

If Liu Ke’er was by his side and the two of them traveled the horizon together, not to mention coming to the Eastern Region, even if it was farther away, he wouldn’t feel that it was a big deal.

However, now that he was in a foreign land, unaccompanied, with a vast sea of people, and the world was vast, where would he go to find the person he loved?

He couldn’t help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you? Are you alright?” Seeing Li Qing struggling, Su Jingxiang couldn’t help but feel a little scared.

Li Qing regained his senses and quickly calmed down. He shook his head and said, “It’s fine. I just thought of something. Oh right, why am I here? Did you save me?”

Su Jingxiang smiled faintly, “To be exact, it should be you who saved me.”

“What do you mean?” Li Qing was a little curious.

Su Jingxiang slowly explained, “That day, I met a Xiantian level Great Devil in the Misty Forest. It was very dangerous to be chased by him. Just as he was about to catch me, you suddenly descended from the sky and smashed that Diabolism expert to death.”

“Descending from the sky?” Li Qing was very surprised.

‘”That’s right, even if you descend from the sky. Actually, I didn’t see how you appeared. I just felt that my eyes went dark and I couldn’t see anything. Then, a strange big explosion occurred. Afterwards, we saw you appear at the center of the explosion.”

“That’s why.” Li Qing nodded.

Based on this situation, it was likely that the Demon Ancestor had used a great divine ability to send him and Liu Ke’er out, so it was as if they had appeared out of thin air in front of others.

Liu Ke’er should have been sent somewhere else and not with her. She really wasn’t lucky.

“Could it be that you didn’t send Ke’er out?” Thinking of this possibility, Li Qing’s heart tightened. “Impossible. At that time, Ke’er was also on the top of the altar. If she wanted to send her out, she should also send her out together. Impossible!”

If Liu Ke’er hadn’t been sent out and stayed in the Eternal Demon Abyss, then she would have died without a doubt. Li Qing didn’t want to believe this possibility and didn’t even want to think about it.

“Ke’er, no matter where you are, I will find you!” He thought firmly.

Li Qing took a long breath and calmed himself down. He tried his best to throw these distracting thoughts out of his mind and figure out his current situation first.

“Anyway, you saved my life,” he said. “Let’s call it even.”

Su Jingxiang said, “Actually, even if I didn’t save you at that time, you probably wouldn’t die. With your strength, I’m afraid that under normal circumstances, you wouldn’t be able to cause any harm to you.”

“Oh? You can see my strength?” Li Qing couldn’t help but raise his head.

‘”Since you haven’t woken up for too long, we hired a doctor to check your condition, but we can’t find anything wrong with you. However, during this period of time, we can see that your body is very strong and your physical fitness is frighteningly high. You should be a body refining expert, right?”

“I have indeed refined my body.” Li Qing nodded.

To be exact, he was actually a dual cultivator. However, the demon ancestor had broken through his dantian and transformed his body. All of the Eight Desolate Demon Subduing Qi had dissipated, causing him to have no trace of true qi in his body. Therefore, no one could tell that he was a pure body cultivator.

He did not say that he had a strong cultivation base, because he had just woken up and had not had time to check his body’s condition. His mind was in a mess, and he had not thought about many things clearly.

“By the way, you’ve been unconscious for almost a month. You must be hungry now, right? I’ll bring you something to eat now.”

After saying that, Su Jingxiang immediately turned around and left.

“You’ve been unconscious for a month? It’s been so long!” Li Qing was stunned. He carefully felt that his stomach was really hungry.

After a while, the door opened again, and Su Jingxiang walked in again, followed by a maid with food in her hand.

“I heard that body refining experts eat a lot of food every meal and need to replenish a lot of energy, so I specially prepared a lot of demonic beast meat for you. I wonder if this is enough?”

“Enough, there’s no need to pay. Thank you!” Li Qing nodded and thanked her very much for her warm hospitality.

Perhaps there were some factors that could repay her kindness, but Su Jingxiang was kind and sincere.

Li Qing could tell that Su Jingxiang was not pretending, nor was she deliberately flattering him. Instead, she was truly sincere from the bottom of her heart, causing people to have a good impression of her.

He no longer had any scruples. He took the food and began to eat it. Su Jingxiang smiled and sat down beside him. She looked at Li Qing eating with an interested expression on her face.

…

After a while, Li Qing finished his meal.

Su Jingxiang asked, “Are you full? If you’re not full, I’ll ask someone to bring some more over.”

“No need.” Li Qing shook his head and carefully sized up Su Jingxiang for a while before saying, “There seems to be something wrong with your body. There is an extremely cold force in your body.”

Su Jingxiang was a little surprised and said, “Young Master really has extraordinary eyesight. I have been suffering from Lunar Tempered Meridians since I was young. This is an incurable disease, and I will not be able to live for twenty years.”

“Extinction of lunar meridians?” Li Qing’s heart suddenly stirred.

“That’s right, it’s the Lunar Temple. My father invited countless famous doctors for me, but none of them are of any use. They shouldn’t be able to cure me anymore. Maybe I’ll die soon.”

Li Qing looked at the woman in front of him. His smile was so gentle that it made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. If they died like this, wouldn’t it be too unfortunate? Then he comforted, “Who knows what is going on in the world? Who knows if it will be saved soon? Never give up hope.”

He had experienced several life and death calamities, and every time he was rescued at the last moment, he was able to survive in a desperate situation. He understood this reasoning. Before the last moment, no one could tell if the next moment was life or death.

“Thank you for your consolation.” Su Jingxiang smiled faintly. “It’s been a long time since I’ve said so much to anyone else. It’s only this once that I’ve saved you. I’m grateful for your kindness to save your life and personally take care of you. Only then can I have such a chance. I’m very happy.”

She had been weak and sick since she was young, and she rarely saw outsiders, so she had no chance to chat with others. Her father treated her like the apple of his eye, loving her very much. Under the protection of layers upon layers, ordinary people were simply unable to get close to her.

“If you want, you can come and chat with me at any time.” Li Qing smiled.

“Alright then, it’s a deal.”

“It’s a deal!”

The two of them lightly struck a palm, making an agreement.

“Right, I still don’t know your identity in Su Mansion.” Li Qing asked, “It seems to me that your identity isn’t ordinary, right? You can come and go freely and can command a maid.”

“I am the eldest young miss of the Su Clan.” She smiled.

“I see. No wonder…”

“Alright, you just woke up not long ago. You should rest more. I won’t disturb you any longer.” After she finished speaking, she got up and left.

As Su Jingxiang left, the room became quiet again.

…

Li Qing was stunned for a moment. What had happened in the Eternal Demon Abyss was as if it was still yesterday. He could still remember it, and it was hard for him to forget it.

“If this was just a dream, how good would it be?” He sighed.

Next, he carefully examined the situation inside his body, and he couldn’t help but feel mixed emotions.

Fortunately, his physical condition was exceptionally good. It was simply beyond his imagination. This was simply a perfect body.

What was worrying was that the Eight Desolate Demon Subduing Divine Technique that he had cultivated all his life had completely dissipated, leaving nothing behind. If you want to recover, I’m afraid you’ll need…

“I’m afraid I need to cultivate the Undying True Devil Technique!” Li Qing muttered to himself.
