Ch 58 Part 3 Token (III)

After the twelfth lot was sold, the valley became quiet once again. Finally, its time for todays highlight. Even Meng Qi looked out in curiosity.

Ladies and gentleman, thank you for waiting patiently. Linghu Xie smiled at the audience. Now, we are going to auction a total of sixteen tokens to enter Beyond The Heavens seventh mountain.

Sixteen! So the new grotto-heaven at the seventh peak isnt small. Someone sighed.

Brother Xuanyuan seems to be determined to win. Apparently, someone recognized the mans voice and chimed in with a laugh.

Hahaha, I dont dare to say much. But among everyone present, who doesnt want to? After all, going into Beyond The Heavens grotto-heaven always resulted in great profit. The person surnamed Xuanyuan replied.

Indeed, everyone present at todays auction was aiming for the tokens, except for Meng Qi. She was just wondering what kind of item the last lot would be. After hearing the word grotto-heaven, she knew that this matter was entirely unrelated to herself. Meng Qi stood up and quickly left the auction house.

Outside the auction house, it was completely empty. Most people were still inside the auction floor, fiercely bidding for the tokens. Before Meng Qi walked far, another footstep suddenly came from behind. She turned her head subconsciously. It was the black-robed young man she saw just before entering the auction house.

The mans facial features are as sharp as a knife, and his expression was quite cold. He himself was like a sword, sharp and ruthless. Once he made a move, his entire being was a cold sword that could deter the entire four realms.

This person was precisely Pei Mufeng, the current and youngest master of Xingluo Pavilion, the biggest sword sect in the Eastern Realm.

Meng Qi recalled his promise to the medical society to enter the Starfallen Sea for ten years. She bowed at the young man politely. This youth who had just become the master of Xingluo Pavilion was strong, talented, and proud. Just his cultivation talent alone was of an extremely high level, far beyond the majority of his generation in Three Thousand Worlds.

Meng Qi was grateful for this young mans promise and made the bow subconsciously.

However, Pei Mufeng stopped and returned the bow meticulously. His eyes were like a cold star, bright and profound. When he raised his head, his gaze promptly swept across Meng Qis face before turned it away quickly.

Meng Qi stepped aside and gestured for him to go first. She didnt have a particular admiration or longing towards the strong sword cultivators, but admired Pei Mufeng, who was willing to go to Starfallen Sea to hunt for spiritual plants and monster beasts that could be used as medicinal ingredients for the benefit of medical advancement.

Pei Mufengs expression was indifferent: Is fellow Daoist not interested in the grotto-heavens token?

Meng Qi smiled and calmly replied: My spirit stones are too few to make a bid.

Pei Mufeng seemed to be stunned by this answer. His eyes subconsciously fell on Meng Qis face again before quickly turned away.Staring at another direction, he said: Im waiting for my sects elders to finish. If fellow Daoist is free, how about we go to Beyond The Heaven Restaurant for a drink?

A drink? Impossible. Meng Qi still remembered the last painful lesson. She shook her head politely: Im sorry, but Im not good at drinking.

Pei Mufeng did not press further. He regarded Meng Qi as a fellow youngster who was bored waiting for their elders to finish the bidding inside. He cupped his hands for the last time before he walked forward quickly.

Meng Qi waited until he walked away before she proceeded slowly towards the teleportation array. Pei Mufeng truly hadnt changed. He had no interest in anything except the sword. That must be why he made such a promise.

Meng Qi raised her head and looked forward. Pei Mufengs figure had long gone. In her previous life, she didnt hear any rumors about Xingluo Pavilion Master and Lu Qingran. But this time, it was said that he made this promise for a young female healer.

Meng Qis eyebrow raised. It was rare for her to be interested in gossip, but she was indeed curious whether a person like Pei Mufeng could actually be tempted by a woman.

When Meng Qi opened her eyes again in her room, it was almost noon already. She felt something fluffy on her hand and glanced down to see Xiao Qi was lying beside her.

Eh? Meng Qi reached out and carefully took the little tigers small paw into her hand: What happened?

Meng Qi cleaned Xiao Qis wound, applied medicine, and changed the bandage every day. Although she was unable to stop the bleeding completely, it has gradually become better. Recently, only a small amount of blood oozed out every day. But now, the clean white cloth that bandaged Xiao Qis injured paw was full of blood. Not only that, his originally bright eyes were also much dimmer than before.

She hurriedly took Xiao Qis front paw carefully and gently opened the bandage. Why did it suddenly worsened so much? Meng Qi whispered in distress. She leaned her body towards Xiao Qi. Being so close so suddenly, the little guy was caught off guard. His nostrils immediately were filled with the light medicinal fragrance from the girls body. Her warm breath fell on his small paw and seemingly was carrying a faint sweet fragrance.

Xiao Qi:

But you will be fine soon. Meng Qi raised her head and smiled. She happily told the little tiger: I have bought the Blazing Feather.

As she spoke, Meng Qi reached out to rub Xiao Qis fluffy head and also squeezed his little ear a bit. However, thinking about Xiao Qis more complicated internal injuries, Meng Qi couldnt help sighing again.

As if guessing the reason for her sigh, Xiao Qis uninjured paw gently patted the back of Meng Qis hand.

The fluffy touch pulled back her mind: Its okay. She smiled: Anyway, lets take it slowly. Step by step, I will become stronger, and one day definitely will cure you completely. As she spoke, she couldnt help squeezed Xiao Qis ears again.
