Chapter 53: Reinforcements

The villagers fainted to the ground one after another.

Hu Siping, the little fatty, and Tie Niu swayed as if they were drunk.

A moment later, they couldn't hold on any longer and all fell to the ground.

Zhang Xingyu felt dizzy and his head was swollen.

He bit his tongue hard, and the intense pain made him much clearer.

Seeing that Zhang Xingyu hadn't fallen, the black-clad demon looked surprised.

"Good kid, you're the first one not to fall after inhaling the Blood Soul Powder. However, even so, you still have to die."

The black-clad demon grinned while raising the Blood Demon Blade in his hand.

Zhang Xingyu wanted to dodge, but found that his legs wouldn't listen to him.

"My life is over!"

Zhang Xingyu closed his eyes.

"Puchi!"

The sound of a weapon entering flesh came to his ears.

Strange, it didn't hurt at all.

Zhang Xingyu opened his eyes.

Before him, the black-clad demon's eyes were wide open, still maintaining the posture of swinging the blade.

A moment later, blood flowed from the corner of the demon's mouth, and then he fell to the ground with a "thump."

Zhang Xingyu looked down at the ground and discovered that a purple short sword was stuck in the demon's back.

Someone had come to save them.

This purple short sword looked somewhat familiar.

The purple short sword had already been pulled out from the demon's back and was flying toward the roof in front.

Standing on the roof was a purple-clad beauty with a stunning appearance and a refined, otherworldly air.

This woman was none other than Fairy Yunxi, Tang Yunxi, who had just parted ways with Zhang Xingyu not long ago.

Tang Yunxi put away her flying sword, tapped her toes lightly, and drifted down like a purple petal.

Looking at Fairy Yunxi walking gracefully toward him, Zhang Xingyu was dazed for a moment.

Tang Yunxi walked to Zhang Xingyu unhurriedly, parted her red lips, and said: "What are you still stunned for? Hurry and save the people."

"Uh, right, save the people. Save the people." Zhang Xingyu came back to his senses and quickly agreed.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu at a loss, Tang Yunxi glared at him again: "Go find some clean water and feed it to them. Hmph, with just this little bit of ability, you still want to act like a hero and save people?"

Zhang Xingyu's face turned red: "Fairy Yunxi, how did you get here?"

Tang Yunxi didn't answer.

Seeing that Tang Yunxi didn't answer, Zhang Xingyu said again: "Fairy Yunxi, thank you for coming to save me. Although my abilities are low, I couldn't stand by and watch such things happen. Fairy Yunxi, you have saved me several times, and I will keep it in my heart. If you have any difficulties in the future, I will definitely risk my life to save you."

Tang Yunxi glanced at him: "Who wants you to save them? Hurry and find clean water; waking up the villagers is the priority."

"Right!" Zhang Xingyu agreed while running into the courtyard to fetch water.

After a while, he walked out of the courtyard gate carrying a large bucket of clean water, only to see Tang Yunxi examining the Blood Demon Blade in her hand.

Zhang Xingyu asked: "Fairy Yunxi, what kind of weapon is this blood blade? It's so sharp, it cut my three-star Dharma blade in two with one slash."

"This is a demonic weapon, with a small amount of refined gold added to it; its quality is close to a first-grade Dharma treasure, and its sharpness is no less than a ninth-grade Dharma weapon," Fairy Yunxi said without raising her head.

Zhang Xingyu nodded: "No wonder it's so powerful."

He said while feeding water to the fainted villagers.

At this moment, the villagers' teeth were tightly clenched, and they had no consciousness. Feeding them water was not easy.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu's clumsy movements, Fairy Yunxi quickly put away the Blood Demon Blade and went to help.

She reached out and tapped an acupoint on a villager, and the villager's tightly clenched teeth gradually relaxed.

One person tapped the acupoints, and the other fed the water; the two cooperated tacitly.

Half an hour later, the two had fed clean water to every villager.

Tang Yunxi walked back to the villager she had fed first and squatted down to check the villager's condition.

The villager's pupils were dilated, and ink-black drool was constantly flowing from the corner of their mouth.

Tang Yunxi took out a clean white handkerchief and gently wiped the drool for the villager, then stood up and walked toward the next villager.

Zhang Xingyu followed closely behind Tang Yunxi. He quietly looked at Tang Yunxi's beautiful face. At this moment, there was no frost on this pretty face as there had been in the past. Zhang Xingyu thought that this kind of Fairy Yunxi was the most beautiful.

By the time they finished checking all the villagers, another half hour had passed.

The villagers still hadn't woken up, and Zhang Xingyu couldn't help but ask: "Fairy Yunxi, it's already been half an hour, why hasn't the person who drank the water first woken up?"

"They were poisoned by demonic drugs, how could they wake up so quickly," Tang Yunxi replied.

"Oh, that's good!"

"What?"

"I mean, it's good that they're fine!"

"Mm." Tang Yunxi nodded and stood to the side, saying nothing more.

At this moment, Zhang Xingyu wished the villagers would wake up later.

He prayed inwardly: Big brothers, big sisters, uncles, aunts, please, please wake up even later. I still want to spend time alone with Fairy Yunxi. Please, please.

The villagers were very cooperative; for a long time, not a single person woke up.

Tang Yunxi stood quietly. A few tiny beads of sweat hung on her nose, looking exceptionally crystal clear in the moonlight.

Zhang Xingyu looked at Tang Yunxi quietly. Feeling Zhang Xingyu's burning gaze, Tang Yunxi's pretty face gradually turned red.

She spat inwardly: This lecher!

But for some reason, she also liked this feeling very much.

After a long time, Tang Yunxi turned her head and glared at Zhang Xingyu fiercely.

Zhang Xingyu woke up. He slapped his head and said: "Look at my brain. Fairy Yunxi, you've been busy for a long time, you must be tired, right? I'll go get you a stool." Zhang Xingyu said while walking into the courtyard.

"Don't. I'm just about to..." Tang Yunxi had just said she was about to leave, but Zhang Xingyu had already run into the courtyard.

This person.

A trace of warmth suddenly surged in Tang Yunxi's heart.

Zhang Xingyu brought out a wooden stool and used his sleeve to carefully wipe the surface of the stool three times.

Until it was spotless, Zhang Xingyu made a gesture of invitation to Tang Yunxi: "Fairy Yunxi, please sit."

Just as Zhang Xingyu was wiping the stool, Tang Yunxi looked at his earnest appearance and felt a strange feeling rise in her heart.

When she sat gently on the wooden stool, the thought of leaving had already vanished.

"Fairy Yunxi, we are truly fated. In just two days, we've met four times," Zhang Xingyu sat casually on the ground beside Tang Yunxi and said with a smile.

"No glib talk. If you talk nonsense again, I'm leaving." Tang Yunxi glared at Zhang Xingyu and made a move to leave.

"Don't, don't. Don't leave. If you leave, what will the villagers do if another demon comes?" Zhang Xingyu quickly reached out to persuade her.

Zhang Xingyu's right hand tightly held that jade hand.

Tang Yunxi's pretty face turned red to the roots of her ears instantly.

"Let go!"

Tang Yunxi gently pulled her jade hand away and feigned anger: "Shut up. Also, close those sneaky eyes of yours."

"Fine, I'll close them, is that okay?" Zhang Xingyu closed his eyes as instructed.

Looking at Zhang Xingyu with his eyes tightly closed and sitting upright, Tang Yunxi was both angry and amused.

What is wrong with me?

I actually have a different feeling for a mortal.

And this mortal isn't him.

Ever since I awakened the memories of my past life, I have been searching for him.

Him, the one I have loved for thousands of lifetimes.

Him, the one I have searched for for tens of thousands of years.

He came to the south, so I came to the south.

He loves to watch the clouds and sunset, so I go to watch the clouds and sunset.

He loves to go on adventures, so I go on adventures.

No matter how the years change, no matter the cycle of life, I must find him.

Mountains without ridges, heaven and earth united, I dare not break with you.

Thinking of this, Tang Yunxi stood up, her face returning to its usual coldness.

"Zhang Xingyu, I have things to do, so I'm leaving first. You just wait here for them to wake up," Tang Yunxi said coldly to Zhang Xingyu.

Zhang Xingyu opened his eyes and saw the frost-faced Tang Yunxi, feeling very puzzled.

A minute ago, she was still amiable, why is it hailing now?

"Fairy Yunxi, let's wait for them to wake up together. Just right, I can tell you about..."

Zhang Xingyu was about to persuade her, but was suddenly startled by Tang Yunxi's sharp gaze.

At this moment, Tang Yunxi's eyes were like a drawn blade, cold and filled with endless killing intent.

"Zhang Xingyu, there is no intersection between you and me. In the future, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will draw my sword and kill you."

When she said this, Tang Yunxi's brow furrowed slightly, and in a moment, she returned to her usual coldness.

This girl, so fierce.

Her face changes faster than turning a page.

The weather in Death Valley doesn't change as fast as she does.

No wonder the ancients said, a woman's face is like the June sky, changing whenever it wants. A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, hard to fathom.

"I will take this demonic weapon back to the academy for the academy to handle," Tang Yunxi said coldly.

After speaking, she stepped onto her flying sword and flew rapidly into the distance.

Looking at her receding figure, Zhang Xingyu was stunned on the spot.

"There is no intersection between you and me. No intersection, no intersection..." Tang Yunxi's words echoed in his ears incessantly.

No intersection, doesn't that mean she doesn't want to associate with me?

No intersection, doesn't that mean she looks down on me for not cultivating and having abilities far inferior to hers?

Do not bully the young for being poor.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.

Tang Yunxi.

One day, my cultivation will surpass yours.

One day, I will make you submit at my feet.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xingyu shouted loudly at the receding beauty: "Tang Yunxi, one day, I will surpass you!"

"Surpass you, surpass you..." The voice echoed between heaven and earth.

The receding purple sword light clearly paused, then accelerated, and a moment later disappeared into the vast horizon.

"Brother Xingyu, who do you want to surpass?" ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
