Ch 27 - Foolishness

"Cracked and dried meridians! Sinister and malicious dark energy in your body! You would have been dead already if not for your strong will and luck, Venerable Mei. Stop playing with your life!" Jun Mo Xie murmured slowly.

Mei Xue Yan was shocked beyond belief, and her grip loosened. The masked man hadn't even touched her but assessed her condition so accurately.

"Don't eat that meat or you'll die for sure!" Young Master Jun left those words before disappearing from everyone's view.

'So fast!'

Green Hunter was famous for her agility and poison. She was standing very close to him, but even unable to catch a glimpse of his movements.

Mei Xue Yan stared at the empty space with a deep gaze before he turned her head and looked at her siblings.

"Tell me everything from the very beginning!"

Her younger siblings trembled in fear and quickly nodded their heads with the Pather King taking charge to explain everything to her.

"Li Jue Tian!" Mei Xue Yan trembled with anger. It seemed like she had forced those words from the space between her teeth. How could she accept that someone had dared to set up a trap against her siblings in order to kill him and seize his Xuan core?

"Elder Sister calm down!" Reckless White quickly stopped her sister and said. "Eldest Sister, according to that senior, the reason behind this attack is not that simple."

"What do you mean, Eleventh Brother?" Long Crane asked quickly, his heart had a bad feeling in it.

The Panther King took a deep breath and looked at his siblings as he said. "According to the senior, the death of the Fifth Brother and this attack is not a coincidence."

Mei Xue Yan narrowed her eyes dangerously as the death of her fifth brother was still a big heartbreaker to her. Her hands clenched into fists tightly until her soft and white jade-like turned red.

She looked at the empty space and her eyes sparkled brightly as she decided to confront the masked guy next time for answers...

Two days passed by and Jun Mo Xie again went to Tian Fa forest to collect the materials.

"Sire, you're finally here!"

Just when Young Master Jun stepped into Tian Fa forest, he was greeted by Earth Cracker who sounded very anxious.

"Did something happen?" Jun Mo Xie was a little surprised to find him there.

It was like the Tiger King was waiting for him.

"Big Sister is in danger!" Tiger King babbled.

"Venerable Mei?" Jun Mo Xie thought for a second before replying. "Thanks for telling me. I'll go and see. Can't let a beauty die, can I?"

And with those words, he flashed away, leaving Tiger King dumbstruck in his place.

Jun Mo Xie appeared hundreds of meters away from the Tiger King.

There was a thick growth of trees ahead. In fact, there was no gap between them. They were maybe hundreds… or perhaps thousands of years old from the looks of it. They crowded together with no gap between the two trees. In fact, it seemed as if they were growing in the same place.

This time rather than moving fast, he walked slowly without making a sound enjoying the picturesque scenery.

He silently harvested many rare herbs along the way until he arrived in front of a massive and solid tree.

After passing it, he arrived at the cave where Venerable Mei resided.

Feeling very faint breathing from inside the cave, Young Master Jun shook his head with a sigh and floated inside the cave.

A black piece of cloth was lying on the center of the floor like discarded trash. The black cloth had a small blood stain on it. It was unknown where it had picked that stain from.

A barely alive and tiny white animal was lying on top of that black cloth.

The beast in front of him was half the size of a person's arm. Its body was entirely white and had no fur anywhere. But, that white creature gave off a very comfortable feeling and looked very elegant as well.

The frail thing looked at Jun Mo Xie as he appeared in front of it. However, its eyes didn't display a single trace of fear. It merely turned to look at him with eyes that were filled with tranquility, clarity, and even a sense of urgency…

Then, the tiny creature seemed to have resigned to something and lowered its head. It had suddenly gone so quiet that it seemed as if life and death had no meaning in its eyes anymore. However, that small body was so helplessly in that black gown that the sight of it could evoke a strong feeling of tenderness in one's heart.

Jun Mo Xie stepped forward and picked her up into his embrace.

"You fool, didn't I warn you not to consume that meat last time?" He shook his head with a sigh.

Just by touching her, Jun Mo Xie felt that her meridians had sustained even more damage than previously, a clear sign of forcefully raising her strength.

She must have eaten that meat filled with rich and pure Heavenly Energy.

And now on the verge of death!

If not for the number of herbs eaten in a time, she might have already perished.

Suddenly, Jun Mo Xie's body flashed with a bright light, illuminating the entire cave.

Mei Xue Yan weakly opened her eyes and couldn't help but feel astonished.

The entire cave had almost disappeared and turned into a starry sky, filled with countless stars.

With Young Master Jun at its center, a huge nebula formed in the cave filled with countless colorful stars as far as she could see.

Feeling such pure, unhindered, and divine energy flowing into her body, Venerable Mei, in her beast form, had an astonished expression on her cute face.

In her life of hundreds of years, she had never felt such pure, powerful, and divine energy ever.

Slowly raising her head, her eyes turned to the masked guy who was releasing such energy.
