Chapter - 11 Helping a stranger

Meanwhile in the Dark Misty Forest

As soon as the holy light disappeared a sudden silence fell across all the cultivators who have come to get an opportunity.

Shen Miao was shocked,"Search what happened." damn it was her treasure!.

Soon various forces employed their spiritual masters but the result disappointed them, it turned out that the treasure did not descend but maybe someone intercepted it midway.

Then suddenly another news came which shook the cultivators, the young lady of the Nan family who was just 10 this year not only developed a spiritual root but also contracted a spirit animal of higher bloodline which was probably going to be a divine spirit beast in the future, also their was a great heavenly phenomenon which occurred when the spirit beast was born.

"Is this news reliable" asked one of the elders of the Wuji sect.

"Its true, the great elder of Gu clan also speculates that the phenomenon here on the Dark Mist Forest was a handy work of the Nan family so that no major family and sect pay attention to the happening of the Nan family and their younger generation can easily form a contract with a spirit beast." said one of elder belonging to the Mo clan.

The news suddenly spread all over the world that a new genius Nan Yunxi was a genius born in hundred years.

Shen Miao was also shocked, although now she cannot go and ask the Nan family for the beast she felt like played however the Nan family was not something one can easily provoke and their existence and background was very extensive and long.

Soon cultivators started packing up their makeshift tents, those with palaces didn't need to as with a thought of their mind the palace turned into a small house one can hold in palm and soon tranquility descended the dark misty forest.

The surrounding spirit animals sighed in relief,'Phew what a riddance.'

Long Xiang came back to the underground temple, kowtowed to the deity and after putting some oil into the lamp pulled the lever to ascend on the ground floor.

After coming out of the temple, she realized it was still early in the morning,after she spread her consciousness across the forest she realized that there were a lot of people in the forest as if some big event was taking place.

Thinking that it had nothing to do with her, Long Xiang took the face mask her mother had bought her put it on her face to hide her countenance and pulled the hood of her outer coat to completely cover her head and face and with quick light steps took to the opposite direction.

 After walking till afternoon, she reached an intersection in the forest, as she was thinking of crossing the forest and going towards the Ming Kingdom she took the left road.

She had already purchased several maps and manuals about the geography, nations and culture of this world and with her memory it was a peace of cake to remember it.

However mid way she heard a groan and with a thud a man fell down in front of her probably he was sleeping on top of a tree to avoid spirit beast or was injured , whatever his reason was but now he was unconsciously lying face down on the forest bed in front of her.

Long Xiang wanted to by pass him and leave but something in her heart kept her from moving forward, anyway if he lies here for long some animal might come and really eat him.

Long Xiang half lifted and half used telekinesis on the unconscious to move him out of the way and made him rest on a secluded spot behind a big willow tree, which gave perfect cover from prying eyes.

She saw that the man was exceptionally good looking with sharp facial features and plum blossom eyes, he had a straight nose and he really looked like a man who can make women swoon in first glance, but for Long Xiang who was a child she just looked at him indifferently, in her heart she felt that her mother was no less a beauty then him and she was now immune to beautiful faces.

After checking the man's pulse she frowned,'why does she keeps getting patient who are being poisoned, in this world it seems people use poison left and right.'

She quickly took out a vial to collect the blood of the man to see what kind of poison it was, then she activated her healing energy and soon the soothing green light encompassed the man.

Seeing that it was working Long Xiang sighed in relief, 'After he wakes up she will leave.'

'shooshhhh.' came a sound and Long Xiang felt an intense killing aura surging towards her, just as she was about to move out of the way, the man who was unconscious woke up and with a swift role took her in his arms and rolled over out of the range of the attack.

"Long Wu, you dare." came a rumbling sound from the man.

Long Xiang who was knocked to the side look over with astonishment in her eyes.

"Master, this man was trying to kill you, i saw with my own eyes he was poisoning you with green light." said Long Wu in his defense.

Long Shi who was just behind him knelt down on one leg and asked for forgiveness,"Master this subordinate ask for forgiveness, we neglected our duty to protect you, we will get rid of this man now for you."

It was obvious that both of them could not read the situation.

Currently the three of them did not pay attention to Long Xiang who was trying to tidy her body with her little hands, her mask has broken with the impact and her hood has also come off.

She wanted to cry that mask was given to her by her mother and now these bad guys broke it.

"No No, No poison, Xiang Xiang no poison, Xiang Xiang save." came the broken little voice of a child in the silence of the forest.

It was then that Long Tian saw that the person he though released him from poison relapse turned out to be a child that too so small.

Long Shi and Long Wu were dumbfounded,'This, this isn't a joke is it.'

Long Xiang had tears in her eyes, although she was an adult and she didn't want to cry, they broke her favorite bunny mask!

"Xiang Xiang's mask broke...sob sob...bad uncle...' came the sobbing voice of the kid.

Now Long Wu and Long Shi felt really flustered, they thought she was attacking their master.

Also can such a little girl possess spiritual energy,'Oh wait a little girl like that cannot even grow a spiritual root, then how can she possess spiritual energy.'

"Master she is probably faking it, i think she is some old demon and spirit beast who has deliberately reduced its age to make us lower our guards, ones we do that she will strike and kill us with one blow." spoke Long Wu he was sure about it.

Long Tian frowned all the noise around him was making him dizzy,"Shut up, she saved me did not harm me."

"Xiang Xiang is not a Demon, bad uncle is the demon." spoke Long Xiang she picked her broken mask and hood and thought of leaving them.

ones she got near the three of them they were shocked, the bone age of the girl was clearly just three years old.

Initially Long Tian thought some old elder saved him and maybe they had the habit of changing appearance and took the appearance of a kid but no this really was just a kid, and judging by her power she was already at Qi condensation age.

"Qi condensation at such a young age." gasped Long Shi and spoke.
