Chapter 339: The Love-Brained Heavenly Spirit Horse

The dark night always passes. When the morning sun rises the next day, the morning after the rain, the world seems reborn; crystalline dewdrops roll on the tips of leaves, shining brilliantly. A gentle breeze brushes the face, bringing a cool and comfortable feeling, making one feel as if they are amidst a poem or a painting.

Nan Feihuang wakes from his coma and suddenly discovers that his breathing has calmed down quite a bit.

Although his soul power is still at rock bottom, at least his body can move.

"What happened? Did someone treat me?" Nan Feihuang checks his body; it was definitely helped by some healing-type soul skill.

At least the external injuries visible on the surface have healed quite a bit.

Of course, to fully recover, he still needs to recuperate. If an ordinary person suffered the kind of injuries Nan Feihuang had yesterday, even someone as strong as a Title Douluo would have to spend ten years recovering like Tang Hao, and they might not even fully recover, inevitably leaving behind severe hidden injuries.

But Nan Feihuang's body is special, and he has the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone protecting him; that move, "Wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze brings it back to life," is a top-tier self-healing soul skill.

Yet even so, Feihuang must recuperate for at least half a year to a year to fully recover.

Fortunately, he has no other plans to complete for the time being, so he will just go home and recuperate slowly.

"This is the first time I've been injured this badly. As expected of a Super Douluo, though, the fight was quite exhilarating." Nan Feihuang struggles to climb up and sits down, leaning against the trunk of a fallen tree. "I wonder, where is the benefactor who saved me? Could they have already left?"

Feihuang feels a bit regretful; he also wants to repay the kindness, but now there are no clues at all, so how could he know who saved him?

Just at this moment, he hears the sound of "tap, tap, tap." Nan Feihuang turns his head and sees a snow-white horse walking toward him.

It has a few wild fruits in its mouth, which it places beside Nan Feihuang.

"Are you... a Heavenly Spirit Horse? Could it be that you helped me yesterday, and you just went to find fruit for me?" Nan Feihuang asks in surprise.

The Heavenly Spirit Horse sent by Chi Tu to help him lure the Shadow Beast actually did not return to the Star Dou Great Forest, but instead followed him secretly.

The Heavenly Spirit Horse nods; it was indeed the one that saved him.

"Why didn't you return to the Star Dou Great Forest, but followed me instead?" Feihuang asks curiously.

For a Spirit Beast to follow a human, and a non-transformed Spirit Beast at that, this matter is too bizarre.

The Heavenly Spirit Horse looks at Feihuang and lifts a hoof, pointing at Feihuang's chest.

Feihuang subconsciously reaches into his chest and takes out a tuft of red Red Mane; it is exactly the mane of Chi Tu.

"So, you aren't following me, but sensed Chi Tu's aura on me, and therefore followed this aura?" Nan Feihuang thinks of something. "Wait, are you male or female?"

When Feihuang asks this question, the Heavenly Spirit Horse does not answer. After all, it is a sentient Spirit Beast and naturally understands human language. One can see a flush of red appearing on that white horse face.

"Good heavens, I actually saw the shyness of a young girl on the face of a horse," Feihuang thinks to himself. It is very obvious that this Heavenly Spirit Horse is female and was infatuated with Chi Tu after he played the hero to save the beauty back then.

But the place where Chi Tu usually stays is the very center of the Star Dou Great Forest, and this Heavenly Spirit Horse, with only twenty thousand years of cultivation, has no qualifications to go there.

For so many years, Chi Tu only sought it out once to have it help Feihuang, and there were no other opportunities to meet.

Therefore, after sensing Chi Tu's aura on Nan Feihuang, it turned into a stalker and followed in secret, because it believes that as long as it follows Nan Feihuang, it will eventually be able to see Chi Tu one day.

"Chi Tu, you've caused big trouble. I don't know whether to call this Heavenly Spirit Horse infatuated or having yandere potential; she's a bit like my Xue Jie. I reckon you'll be locked in a secret room by her one day," Nan Feihuang secretly mocks. However, regardless, it is a fact that it saved him. Feihuang picks up a fruit and takes a few bites; he is indeed in urgent need of replenishing energy now.

After eating his fill, he sits cross-legged and meditates for a while, but his internal energy loss is simply too severe; even with the Dunjia Heavenly Book, his recovery is not very fast.

Having recovered a little spirit, Nan Feihuang is barely able to stand up. He says to the Heavenly Spirit Horse, "Um, thank you for saving me. Don't worry, I will definitely introduce Chi Tu to you as a reward in the future. Can I ask you one more favor? Take me back to the Gu Lei Kingdom. I am too heavily injured now; if I walk myself, I don't know how many days and nights it would take to get there."

Hearing that Nan Feihuang is willing to play matchmaker for it and Chi Tu, the Heavenly Spirit Horse nods excitedly. Isn't it just carrying a person home? This is the specialty of horse-type Spirit Beasts.

What, the Heavenly Spirit Horse only carries pure maidens? That is a prerequisite for unicorns; the Heavenly Spirit Horse is just a Spirit Beast that possesses unicorn bloodline, not strict to that degree. Besides, compared to love, it can throw these principles to the back of its mind.

Nan Feihuang discovers that in this world, characters of the holy attribute are more or less a bit love-brained; now, even a horse cannot be an exception.

The Heavenly Spirit Horse prostrates its body, signaling for Nan Feihuang to get on.

Feihuang waves his hand. "No rush, wait a moment."

The corpse of Bone Douluo is still there. He has not forgotten; since he became the victor, he naturally must collect the spoils of war.

Walking to Gu Rong's corpse, Feihuang gathers the little bit of soul power he just recovered and strikes with his palm, breaking open Gu Rong's abdomen and right lower leg.

A brown Torso Bone and a grayish-white Right Leg Bone fly out.

Soul bones that can be favored by a Title Douluo are at least top-grade, and the age will not be lower than thirty or forty thousand years.

Putting the two soul bones into his Spirit Tool, Feihuang turns and leaps onto the horse. "Let's go, Heavenly Spirit Horse, let's go home. Giddy-up!"

The Heavenly Spirit Horse turns into a ray of white light, carrying Nan Feihuang away rapidly.

As for the rest of Gu Rong's body, Nan Feihuang does not touch it; this time he does not want to destroy the body and erase the traces.

If Gu Rong does not return for a long time, Ning Fengzhi will definitely send people to investigate. When his people arrive and see Gu Rong's corpse, they will naturally understand what happened.

This time, it is Nan Feihuang's intimidation and warning to Ning Fengzhi.

His business is not something a mere auxiliary sect is qualified to manage; if they want to deal with him, they must pay a price in blood.

Just as he expected, Ning Fengzhi waited in the Seven Treasure Hall for an entire night, but did not see Gu Rong return.

Anxious, he immediately dispatched several Spirit Masters possessing flying-type Beast Spirits to investigate from all routes that could lead to the Gu Lei Kingdom.

One of them, possessing an eagle martial soul, has astonishing eyesight, and the route he is responsible for is exactly the one Nan Feihuang took.

From the air, he sees a tall corpse lying on the ground, wearing blue armor, with the abdomen hollowed out and the right leg severed.

This person immediately lands and goes forward to investigate. When he sees that familiar face clearly, he is immediately terrified.

"Im... impossible, Elder Bone... Elder Bone was actually killed by someone."
