The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Su Jingzhen’s heart was racing, and he saw that the person under the peach tree had a face covered in blood.

The fresh blood was smeared all over their face, making it impossible to see their features.

Their black clothes were also soaked in blood, and the weak moonlight reflected off the blood, giving off a faint glow.

“Sir, your injuries are quite severe.”

Standing three zhang away, Su Jingzhen spoke again.

At this time, he was holding the Huayang Sect’s emergency signal talisman.

For over two years since crossing over, he had been a broken cultivator, living in seclusion in Peach Blossom Alley, and had always been kind to others.

Although the cultivation world was full of dangers, Peach Blossom Alley was under Zhang Xiu’s protection, and he had never seen any major incidents.

Although he was tense, this was his first time encountering such a situation, and he felt a thrill of excitement!

“It would be quite inauspicious if he died.”

He had just decided to take a risk and refine alchemy, and now someone had died in his courtyard. This was not a good omen.

His brow furrowed again, and Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but take another step forward.

If it was a corpse, he had to clean it up and remove the corpse’s aura and impurities. As a cultivator, he was extremely sensitive, and if anyone detected anything unusual, his academy would be in trouble tomorrow.

Su Jingzhen still held the Huayang Sect’s emergency signal talisman in his hand.

As long as he infused a bit of spiritual energy into it, the talisman would transform into smoke and fire, and the Huayang Sect’s inner disciples would immediately rush over.

Using the Huayang Sect’s emergency signal talisman was simple, but it was too expensive, and with his current financial situation, he would be kicked out by next month.

He walked up to the black shadow, and aside from the smell of blood getting stronger, there was no other reaction.

He reached out to touch the person’s arm, and the sensation was still warm, as if the blood was still flowing underneath the clothes.

But as a Qi-refining initial stage cultivator, he naturally knew that the person was still alive after direct contact.

“Daoist, forgive me.”

He whispered, directly probing the person’s abdomen with his fingers to examine their injuries.

“Ah~”

Suddenly, the person spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Luckily, Su Jingzhen dodged in time, or the blood would have splattered directly onto him.

When he examined the person’s injuries earlier, he also tried to sense their cultivation level.

But he couldn’t sense anything, which meant that the person was at least at the Foundation Establishment stage or higher.

Su Jingzhen suddenly tightened his grip on the talisman in his hand.

Because he had already sensed a strong and unusual aura locking onto him.

It was as if the next second, he would be directly attacked and killed.

“Don’t move, help me to a clean place! Otherwise, I’ll kill you. At this distance, even if I am heavily injured, you can’t escape. If you don’t believe me, you can try!”

At this time, the mysterious person suddenly spoke, their voice extremely cold but pleasant to listen to.

Su Jingzhen was shocked to realize that the person was a woman.

“Okay, I’ll help you. But don’t get agitated, we’re strangers, and there’s no grudge between us, right?”

His expression changed, and he quickly recovered, quietly putting the talisman back into his sleeve.

In the cultivation world, the strong preyed on the weak, and the difference in cultivation level between them was like heaven and earth.

If he were in the other person’s shoes, he might have used a soul-controlling technique to kill him in an instant.

He was too careless. Su Jingzhen reflected on his own mistakes. This also showed that the woman wasn’t a ruthless killer.

However, she was also very lucky to have encountered a poor, scattered cultivator like him who didn’t dare to call for help.

Seeing that the woman didn’t speak again, Su Jingzhen carefully supported her arm, and with her light body, he easily lifted her up.

The peach tree was shaken twice, and the petals fell like rain, covering the two of them in flowers.

The peach blossoms and bloodstains created a strange harmony.

“It rained yesterday, and the ground is slippery, so let’s go slowly.”

The pavement was still muddy, and the atmosphere was still gloomy.

Very quickly, the two of them returned to the quiet room.

He helped the woman onto the stone bed inside.

As soon as she lay down, she stopped moving.

Su Jingzhen sat down beside her, wondering what to do next.

The woman didn’t move, and he didn’t dare to move either, silently sighing: “I’ve been living too comfortably for the past two years.”

Suddenly, he clearly felt that the aura that had been surrounding him had dissipated.

Was she dead?

Or had she fainted?

His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and Su Jingzhen’s gaze involuntarily fell onto the woman on the stone bed.

Her face was still covered in blood, making it impossible to see her features, and it looked quite gruesome.

“Miss, if you need help, I can try to assist you.”

Su Jingzhen asked again, but the woman still didn’t respond.

He carefully checked her breathing.

“Has she really fainted?”

Su Jingzhen let out a long sigh.

He glanced at the emergency signal talisman that had reappeared in his hand, thinking…

After a moment, he put the talisman away.

If this woman had some hidden secrets, Huayang Sect might just eliminate him as well.

To Huayang Sect, he was just an insignificant Qi-refining initial stage cultivator, and killing him would be no big deal.

Currently, in the entire Linjiang City, perhaps only Zhang Xiu could be trusted.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiu was not by his side.

It was the same old saying: since he had gotten himself into this mess, he could only accept his fate.

After thinking this through, Su Jingzhen directly sat down on a nearby cushion, silently watching over the woman.

He didn’t do anything else.

If the woman died, he would just drag her out and bury her, and this incident would be as if it never happened.

If she woke up, he would just adapt to the situation.

As long as he didn’t do anything, he wouldn’t make any mistakes!

In the cultivation world, there was the concept of cause and effect, where evil deeds led to evil consequences, and good deeds led to good karma.

Moreover, the difference in cultivation level between people was like the difference between humans and ants.

With her cultivation level, even if she was heavily injured, she could kill him in an instant, and it wouldn’t take until now.

Once his thoughts were clear, he quickly entered a meditative state.

His Dantian was damaged, and he needed to work harder than others.

Although this cultivation couldn’t help him break through to the next realm, it could at least slow down the rate at which his spiritual energy was leaking away.

However, it was precisely this choice that saved his life.

At this moment, the woman on the stone bed relaxed the tense string in her heart.

The “coma” earlier was just a test.

Now, Su Jingzhen had gained her initial trust.

It was clear that if Su Jingzhen had made any careless moves earlier, he would likely be a corpse by now.

“Cough, cough…”

The next moment, the woman on the stone bed suddenly let out a series of violent coughs.

Another large mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth.

Su Jingzhen, who was cultivating, was startled awake.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that the woman had already sat up.

It seemed that after spitting out the blood, her condition had improved somewhat.

Without waiting for him to speak, the woman opened her mouth and said, “I need a bucket of water.”

Su Jingzhen could see that she was still bleeding from her body and face, but her aura had become even more intimidating.

He nodded.

“Wait a moment.”

After taking a deep breath, Su Jingzhen quickly left the quiet room.

He went to the kitchen, fetched a long-abandoned bathtub, and filled it with a large bucket of water.

At this time of year, the water was still cold and biting.

After thinking for a moment, he exerted some effort to heat it up.

When he returned to the quiet room, it had already been half an hour.

At this time, the woman was already sitting cross-legged, meditating with her eyes closed.

Her breathing was not visible, but her condition seemed to have improved slightly.

When she saw Su Jingzhen carrying the large bucket, she said, “I thought you would escape.”

The woman’s voice was somewhat cold, with a hint of playfulness.

“Want to escape? Where could I escape to?”

“Aren’t you afraid of me?”

“I’m afraid to death,” Su Jingzhen replied calmly, testing the water temperature. “Miss, you want to take a bath, don’t you? I’ve heated the water for you. Please help yourself.”

As he spoke, he placed a prepared package on the bed.

“If you don’t have any suitable clothes to change into, please make do with this for now. If you need anything else, just call me.”

After saying this, he closed the door and left the quiet room again.

Inside the quiet room…

As she saw the clean clothes on the stone bed and the bucket of hot water, the woman was taken aback for a moment. On her face, still smeared with fresh blood, a hint of emotion appeared.

In the cold and cruel world of cultivation, where one’s own life was the only thing that mattered, it was truly rare to find someone who would pay attention to such details.

“This guy’s heart isn’t bad,” she muttered to herself.

After that, the woman didn’t hesitate, quickly removing her clothes.

Her body was covered in countless wounds, both big and small, some of which were still bleeding profusely.

As she entered the water, the stimulating pain made her tremble uncontrollably.

At the same time, outside the quiet room, Su Jingzhen’s eyes saw the familiar golden characters reappear before him.

This time, the content of the golden characters changed for the first time!
