Chapter 401 The Old Man and the Big Yellow Dog
Chapter 401 The Old Man and the Big Yellow Dog
Although the old man appeared abruptly, the old woman didn't think much of it, assuming she just hadn't noticed him because she was moving too quickly.
She didn't regard him as someone special or threatening because she couldn't feel a trace of True Yuan fluctuations from him.
However, the old man's gaze made her uncomfortable, so without giving it further thought, she flew past him in an instant.@@@@
At the same time, she struck the old man with a palm. The old man, already in his twilight years, couldn't withstand the blow backed by the old woman's condensed True Yuan and was sent flying like a kite, not landing until he had cleared dozens of meters and hit a towering tree.
After sending the old man flying with a palm, the old woman didn't stop and continued to dash forward.
In her view, killing an old man was just an effortless deed, not worth contemplating or taking to heart.
However, she didn't notice that at the moment the old man was sent flying, an extremely thin Silver Needle was shot into her back!
As the old woman's figure faded into the distance, the old man slowly got up from behind the tree, his mouth still torn slightly at the corners.
"That really hurt! Who would have thought that this lass from the Hua Family was so vicious, almost comparable to her ancestors!" he muttered.
He patted his long gown, though it made no difference as its original color was already indistinguishable.
"You little rascal, you should no longer resent the marriage I arranged for you, should you? That girl is a great opportunity for you; whether you seize it or not is entirely up to you," he murmured to himself, gazing towards a certain direction in the south.
Just then, a big yellow dog ran down from the mountainside and came to the old man's side, whining a couple of times.
"Do you want to have some tasty roast meat again? This old man can't cook. Wait for that rascal to come back and make it for you!" the old man told the big yellow dog.
The big yellow dog seemed to understand his words and immediately began wagging its tail happily!
"You really are a glutton!"
The old man kicked the big yellow dog and started to climb up the mountainside, with the big yellow dog following behind.
If Su Chen were here, he would certainly say:
"You shameless old thing, how dare you call Da Huang a glutton? You are more of a foodie than it is!"
......
But Su Chen was destined to be unaware of the incident at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, because he was fully occupied with treating Lin Ruoxue.
The situation of Lin Ruoxue on the sickbed was getting more critical by the moment, the layer of Ice Frost on her body growing thicker and the cold it emitted growing more intense. Even Su Chen, standing beside her, could feel the extreme chill!
At this moment, only a third of Su Chen's True Yuan remained inside him, and he had not yet fully understood the situation within Lin Ruoxue's body!
But he could guess without needing to think that if the energy radiating from the surface was already this frightening, the energy gathered inside Lin Ruoxue's body would only be more powerful and colder!
"What's going on here?"
Su Chen was suddenly amazed.
He knew that this was definitely not because the Ice Frost had melted upon contact with heat.
But if not for that reason, what else could it be? Suddenly, Su Chen's eyes brightened:
"Could it have something to do with that drop of blood?"
Su Chen instantly rolled up Lin Ruoxue's sleeve, and then, holding his palm sideways, let fresh blood drip onto her arm.
As soon as the blood touched the Ice Frost on the surface of Lin Ruoxue's arm, the frost slowly disappeared, turned into droplets of water, and then those water droplets too vanished, leaving no trace of the few drops of blood.
This discovery immediately filled Su Chen with surprise and joy!
"Gu Ming, call my father-in-law in."
Su Chen shouted towards the door.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Lin Wenqing pushed the door and entered:
"Su Chen, what do you need? Is there hope for Ruoxue?"
"I'm not sure yet, father-in-law. Drip a drop of your blood onto Ruoxue's arm."
"Alright!" Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire
Lin Wenqing immediately agreed, but when he saw his daughter Lin Ruoxue, he was taken aback:
"Ruoxue, she, how did she end up looking like this?"
"Never mind that for now, Dad, just quickly drip a drop of blood."
"Alright."
Though Lin Wenqing had no idea why Su Chen was asking him to do this, he hurriedly bit open his own finger and let a drop of blood fall onto Lin Ruoxue's arm.
But the layer of Ice Frost where the blood fell was still firmly in place, with Lin Wenqing's blood slowly rolling on top of the frost.
"Strange, why is it like this?"
Su Chen's brow furrowed once more...
