Chapter 123 After all, my opponent can only be a human, not a pack of wild dogs.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Zhong Hanshang led Gao Huohuo to a secluded courtyard in Luoxia City, where they sat down against the wall.
He quickly fed Gao Huohuo another of his pills, and only then did he see that her complexion improved a little.
She looked very tired, and soon she found Gao Huohuo had fallen asleep against the wall.
This was their third meeting, but they had never seen Gao Huohuo so vulnerable before.
With a slight furrow in his brow, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashed in Zhong Hanshang's eyes, but he quickly concealed these emotions.
Zhong Hanshang gently placed her head on his shoulder and leaned down slightly to make Gao Huohuo as comfortable as possible.
He couldn't help but become curious about Gao Huohuo, wanting to understand why she was always willing to save him.
As the first rays of morning sunlight shone into Luoxia City, the evil spirits finally retreated.
Zhong Hanshang carefully placed Gao Huohuo's head against the wall and patted her shoulder.
He called out in a tone that was as gentle as possible, yet still carried a hint of coldness and stiffness:
"Fellow Daoist Gao, wake up! It's dawn. I'll take you away from here."
Gao Huohuo opened her tired eyes and saw that it was already bright outside.
He stood up from the ground, but did not answer immediately.
“Fellow Daoist Zhong, I would like to stay here to recover my spiritual energy before leaving the city before nightfall.”
If you have other things to do, you can leave first. I can manage on my own.
"It's alright, I can take advantage of the daytime to wander around Luoxia City."
She had already arranged to meet Su Ruoyun here, and where else could she go if she went out now?
If she is seen with Zhong Hanshang again, it will likely cause a lot of trouble.
It's better to stay in Luoxia City. As long as she absorbs spiritual energy during the day, her injuries should be almost healed by nightfall.
We'll go out again tonight and rest here by the city wall for the night.
Taking advantage of the absence of evil spirits during the day, Gao Huohuo placed spirit-gathering talismans all over the ground and began to absorb spiritual energy.
You have to be strong yourself to succeed; she relied too much on the system before.
This incident served as a lesson; had she not just happened to have improved her cultivation, she probably would have been trapped there last night.
Five hours later, Gao Huohuo opened his eyes.
Seeing that it was getting dark, he left Luoxia City with Zhong Hanshang.
I thought I would have to camp out in the wild again, but I didn't expect that Zhong Hanshang also had a similar courtyard.
It's similar to Su Ruoyun's, except it only has one bedroom and two cultivation rooms.
Gao Huohuo voluntarily entered one of the cultivation rooms and began cultivating.
She suddenly discovered that several more names had unexpectedly appeared on her system.
Gao Huohuo was puzzled. She hadn't even left the house, so who were these people who wanted to kill her?
However, she desperately needs such talent now; the more people who want to kill her, the better.
If there hadn't been a relatively large number of people on the system before, it wouldn't have been able to recover so quickly.
Seeing that Gao Huohuo had gone to the cultivation room, Zhong Hanshang turned and went to the kitchen.
Gao Huohuo was diligently cultivating in her quiet room when suddenly, a faint smell of burning entered her nostrils.
She felt a chill run down her spine, immediately stopped practicing her internal energy, got up, and quickly walked outside.
At a glance, one could see Zhong Hanshang standing in front of the stove, frantically fiddling with the utensils for cooking porridge.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, are you preparing to cook porridge?"
Gao Huohuo stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the slightly messy stove, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
"If you're going to cook this spiritual porridge, you'll have to be careful with the steps."
First, you need to put the spirit rice into the pot, then slowly pour in the spirit spring water, and finally add the other nourishing spirit ingredients in order.
Only in this way can a pot of superior spiritual porridge be cooked.
Zhong Hanshang listened attentively, nodding from time to time. After Gao Huohuo finished speaking, he immediately followed his advice and tried again.
This time, no unusual sounds came from the pot, and soon the steaming, fragrant porridge was ready.
Zhong Hanshang ladled out a full bowl and respectfully handed it to Gao Huohuo with both hands, his face full of sincerity:
“Fellow Daoist Gao, I am deeply grateful for your help in the past. I will remember this great kindness.”
From now on, if you ever need my assistance, just give the order, and I, Zhong, will go through fire and water without hesitation!
Gao Huohuo didn't stand on ceremony, casually taking the bowl of porridge and grinning:
"Fellow Daoist Zhong is straightforward!"
If I encounter something I really can't beat in the future, I'll take it to you to help me kill it.
I'll ask you first to help me keep things under control, so don't find me annoying!
Upon hearing this, Zhong Hanshang's expression instantly froze.
He hadn't expected Gao Huohuo to speak so bluntly, and for a moment, he was both amused and exasperated.
Seeing that he had tacitly agreed, Gao Huohuo stirred the porridge a few times and drank it.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, a surge of spiritual energy immediately filled his body.
Looks like there's good stuff in this porridge! I wonder if there's any left?
"There's still food in the kitchen; those are all saved for you."
Upon hearing Zhong Hanshang's words, Gao Huohuo rushed to the kitchen.
Silent all night.
The next morning, Gao Huohuo came to say goodbye to Zhong Hanshang, as she was going to take advantage of the next few days to go out and find some heroes to be listed.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, thank you for your porridge. Not only have my injuries been completely healed, but my cultivation level has also increased by one level."
Farewell, sir.
Zhong Hanshang cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Gao, take care on your journey."
After saying goodbye, Gao Huohuo flew to Yai Mountain on his sword to check if the Jade Stream Flower was still there.
When she arrived and found that no one had been there, she picked off all the mature petals, leaving only a stem.
Just as they finished investigating the situation of the cultivators in the Dark River, they ran into the same group that had caused trouble at the inn earlier.
"It's you? We've been looking for you everywhere these past few days, and we never expected to run into you here. You'll pay with your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of them charged towards Gao Huohuo with his sword.
After glancing at the number of people opposite him, Gao Huohuo had a good idea of the situation.
He dodged the attack and then said provocatively:
"It's you bunch of stray dogs again. Come at me all at once, I'm in a hurry."
She's all alone today, and she still dares to be so arrogant?
There were five of them, so taking her down would be a piece of cake.
Do you think you can escape today?
We outnumber you now, and we've already informed the Holy Maiden. Let's see how you'll laugh then!
Oh, even Zhong Hanshang has left, but the Holy Maiden is still here. It seems there's something in this Dark River that she'll leave behind.
She just didn't know if it was the same Chaos Pearl that Su Ruoyun had taken. If it was the same one, she couldn't wait to see the Holy Maiden's expression.
"I'm so scared! You think you can kill me?"
It's not that I'm underestimating you, but even if you cultivate for another hundred years, you still wouldn't be my match.
After all, my opponents can only be humans, not a pack of wild dogs.
Gao Huohuo lashed out at several people with a whip, then pretended to run away.
When those men saw her like this, they chased after her relentlessly.
One of them shouted at Gao Huohuo as he chased after him:
"They were so arrogant, but when they heard the Holy Maiden was coming, weren't they scared?"
But don't make a futile struggle; you can't escape on your own."
Although he said that, he secretly whispered to someone next to him.
"How long until the Holy Maiden arrives?"
"They're almost there. The other cultivators are also heading this way. All we need to do is stop her."
Upon hearing that not only the Holy Maiden was coming, but also other cultivators, the man felt a surge of pride.
This is a rare opportunity; we absolutely cannot let her escape again today.
