Due to the poison of the Extreme Bliss Powder and internal injuries, the two women and Wu Tian fell into a deep slumber after exchanging only a few words.
Outside the cave, the sky gradually brightened. Seeing the two women asleep, Wu Tian approached the cave entrance. He signaled for Xiao Jin to bring demon beast meat, then proceeded to ignite a fire for roasting. The taste of demon beast meat was far superior to that of Earth's wild animals, as the creatures here were untamed and their flesh exceptionally delicious. Wu Tian had also gathered some plants from the Misty Forest as seasoning, resulting in an exquisite delicacy. Xiao Jin enjoyed the privileged life of dining with Wu Tian every day.
While roasting meat, Xiao Jin crouched beside Wu Tian, her mouth watering.
"Today, the meat of the Flower-Tailed Rabbit you caught is excellent. It's neither too tough nor too tender. It will surely be delicious when cooked," Wu Tian remarked to Xiao Jin as he continued roasting.
Xiao Jin nodded eagerly.
...
At this moment, the aroma of roasting meat permeated the cave, lingering without dissipating.
Within the cave, Senior Sister, who had been in a deep sleep, woke up slowly. As her consciousness returned, she suddenly jolted awake, scanning her surroundings alertly before finally sighing in relief.
"Junior Sister, Junior Sister!" Senior Sister gently nudged her companion lying on the ground.
Junior Sister rubbed her eyes and asked, "Senior Sister, what's going on... right! We were hit by the Extreme Bliss Powder from the Empty Gate. Where are we now?"
Senior Sister furrowed her brow slightly. "Last night, we escaped to this cave, and then we encountered a young man, and then..."
"And then he saved us. Right, where is he now?" Junior Sister looked around the cave but didn't see Wu Tian.
"There's a scent of roasting meat; he must be outside," Senior Sister said, sniffing the fragrant air.
"Senior Sister, let's go out and have a look."
Subsequently, the two women walked out of the cave. When they reached the entrance, they saw Wu Tian roasting meat not far away.
"Senior Sister, it's him, the hero who saved us last night!" Junior Sister looked at Wu Tian with joy. Now, she could be sure that they hadn't been mistreated by the people from the Empty Gate last night.
Wu Tian also noticed the two sisters when his gaze fell on them. However, as he looked at the two women, he was surprised.
"Such beautiful girls. Last night, the lighting was too dim to see clearly, but today, both of them are stunning! Truly, the women in this otherworldly place are naturally beautiful, far more than those Earth celebrities with heavy makeup," Wu Tian muttered to himself.
The woman on the left had an elegant figure, wearing a white long dress. Her expression appeared serious and cold, yet her features were exceptionally distinctive, with dark willow eyebrows slightly raised, a delicately pale face indicating she hadn't fully recovered from internal injuries. Without a doubt, Wu Tian deduced that she was the cold and stern Senior Sister.
The woman on the right was slightly shorter but seemed fuller in figure compared to Senior Sister on the left. Wearing a blue pleated long dress, she had a playful appearance, and her rosy cheeks always bore two shallow dimples. This must be the tender and gentle Junior Sister.
"Madam, you're awake?" Wu Tian smiled at Junior Sister.
Junior Sister blushed instantly but still walked towards Wu Tian, expressing gratitude. "Hero, thank you for saving us last night. If it weren't for you, we might not be alive now."
"Why thank me? I am your fiancé, Madam, isn't that right?" Wu Tian teased.
"Hero, we appreciate your lifesaving help, but please mind your words. Last night, I said you saved us, and we are willing to fulfill any conditions, but marriage is another matter. My Junior Sister cannot marry you!" Senior Sister spoke with a stern face.
"This is a promise your Junior Sister made to me. How can we go back on it?" Wu Tian shrugged, expressing a helpless expression.
"Regardless, my Junior Sister cannot marry you! Of course, we will remember your life-saving grace. I can offer you peerless weapons, top-grade demon cores, or high-grade elixirs. However, marrying my Junior Sister is out of the question." Senior Sister remained cold and firm in her stance.
"Peerless weapons or top-grade demon cores or high-grade elixirs are really not what I lack. What I lack now is a wife." Wu Tian shook his head and looked at Junior Sister. "How about you, my wife?"
Junior Sister felt embarrassed and lowered her head, glancing at Senior Sister. She whispered, "Hero, I am truly grateful for your saving us. I am even willing to offer myself in gratitude, but my Senior Sister has taken care of me like a sister and mother all these years. I must listen to Senior Sister. Hero, I'm sorry!"
Wu Tian smiled wryly, realizing that women, regardless of the world, were unreliable when it came to promises. However, he didn't want to argue with them.
"Alright, do whatever you want. Consider that I never saved you." Wu Tian shrugged and tossed a large piece of roasted meat to the two sisters.
"Thank you," Junior Sister said.
"Hero, I remember you mentioned last night that you are a disciple of the Qitian Sect. I wonder, what is your distinguished name? We will certainly remember your life-saving grace and will repay you with a generous gift in the future," Senior Sister, although cold in demeanor, acknowledged Wu Tian's life-saving actions.
"No need for a generous gift. As for my name, it's Wu Tian."
Upon hearing Wu Tian's name, the two women widened their eyes. Junior Sister asked in disbelief, "Your name is Wu Tian, the famous one from the Qitian Sect?"
"Famous?" Wu Tian raised an eyebrow.
"The whole Pingyang City knows about the genius Wu Tian from the Qitian Sect. He had the opportunity to directly enter the Imperial City Qitian Sect headquarters for cultivation. Even the Lord of Pingyang City personally arranged for his daughter to be engaged to him. However, due to unforeseen events leading to the loss of his cultivation, he became an ordinary person unable to practice martial arts." Senior Sister recounted, gazing at Wu Tian, her beautiful eyes fixed on him as if trying to read his expression.
Wu Tian was not particularly surprised. Instead, he wore a constant smile. "Yes, we are the so-called waste who lost the ability to cultivate."
"Unable to cultivate? Impossible! Last night, you single-handedly defeated over a dozen disciples of the Empty Gate, with the weakest being a 6th-level martial artist. Even the eldest senior brother has reached the level of a 3rd-level martial master. You effortlessly defeated them, showing at least the strength of a 5th-level martial master. How can you be unable to cultivate? That Wu Tian must be someone else." Junior Sister looked at Wu Tian with disbelief.
Wu Tian maintained his smiling expression. "Indeed, I am the Wu Tian you mentioned. Well, enough about me. Introduce yourselves."
"Well
, I am Yun Xin, and this is my Junior Sister, Yun Meng. We are disciples of the Celestial Moon Sect," Senior Sister introduced.
Wu Tian nodded. "Celestial Moon Sect, huh? Haven't heard of it."
Yun Xin's expression turned serious. "The Celestial Moon Sect is a reputable sect in the Divine Realm, and our disciples are known for our martial prowess. However, we were ambushed by the Empty Gate disciples on our way to fulfill a mission. They used the Extreme Bliss Powder to control our minds, intending to use us as puppets. Hero Wu Tian, your timely arrival saved us from a dreadful fate."
"Empty Gate... They must be dealt with," Wu Tian said indifferently.
At this moment, Yun Meng, who had been silent, spoke up. "Hero Wu Tian, we owe you a great debt of gratitude. If you have any requests, please let us know, and we will do our best to help."
Wu Tian pondered for a moment and then smiled. "Since you've mentioned it, there is something you can help me with."
"Please speak, Hero. As long as it's within our abilities, we will do our best to assist," Yun Xin promised.
"I want to find a way to restore my cultivation. I believe that in the Divine Realm, there should be methods or treasures that can help me recover my lost cultivation. Can you guide me on this matter?" Wu Tian asked.
Yun Xin exchanged glances with Yun Meng. The two sisters looked at Wu Tian with complicated expressions.
"Restoring cultivation... Hero Wu Tian, this matter is not as simple as you think. The Divine Realm is vast, and various treasures and methods exist, but cultivation is a matter of destiny. Once lost, it is extremely difficult to regain. I'm afraid it's not within our capabilities to help you with this," Yun Xin replied honestly.
Wu Tian sighed. "It seems I'll have to rely on myself for this matter. Alright, let's not dwell on it. Since we are going in the same direction, let's travel together for now. It's safer to have companions on the road."
Yun Xin hesitated for a moment before nodding. "That's acceptable. However, we must prioritize our mission. After that, we can travel together for a while."
Wu Tian agreed, and the three of them continued to roast and enjoy the delicious demon beast meat. As they chatted, Wu Tian learned more about the Celestial Moon Sect's mission and the various dangers they had encountered in the Divine Realm.
The journey with Yun Xin and Yun Meng marked the beginning of a new chapter in Wu Tian's adventures in this otherworldly realm.
