Chapter 154: Laborer

  Yang Tian was covered in sweat, feeling as if he had just been through a great battle; after all, the wounds he had treated were in such inconvenient places...

  "Hehe, she must be pretending to be asleep," Yang Tian said with a smirk as he noticed the woman's eyelashes trembling slightly. This woman was truly too proud, preferring death over asking for help, even prouder than a peacock.

  Pretending to be indifferent, Yang Tian quickly finished treating the lower wounds.

  "Damn, I swear I'll never do this kind of work again," Yang Tian grumbled, hastily covering the exposed skin after giving the wounds a cursory treatment.

  Patting his hands, Yang Tian cast a subtle glance at the woman, noticing her flushed cheeks but chose not to expose her, then casually walked towards the cave entrance.

  Hundreds of miles away, the entire sky was dark, and the thunderous sound of explosions could penetrate metal and split rocks. The surrounding dozens of mountains had been pierced through, and the flying rocks were shattered into pieces.

  The wind howled wildly, and the supreme beings in the void roared, shaking the mountains and rivers. The raging winds in the void spread frantically in all directions, piercing through the heavens and earth, creating astonishing phenomena in the void.

  Such terrifying energy fluctuations indicated that two incredibly powerful energies were madly colliding. In less than a day of fighting, many big shots and superpowers had been alerted and were gathering around this area.

  Within the city of Zhenyao, the transportation array was constantly bustling with people coming and going. This fluctuation even startled a supreme being, who decided to take a trip to the Wanshan Mountains.

  Looking at the colliding energies in the void, Yang Tian had many thoughts. Could it really be that supreme beings from different times were battling? If his guess was correct, these people's abilities were truly heaven-defying.

  After observing for a while and feeling puzzled, Yang Tian said to Yang Xiao, "Uncle Xiao, didn't that woman come back? Why hasn't the energy fluctuation dissipated?"

  "I'm not sure either. I guess the girl's ancestors must have had a feud with the Golden Wolf Howler clan, which triggered this great war," Yang Xiao replied, also expressing his confusion. Such battles across time and space were too surreal, and he couldn't comprehend them, having never reached that realm himself.

  "Then her bloodline should be fine, right?" Yang Tian glanced at the woman who was still pretending to be asleep and asked.

  "Not only will she be fine, but she will also encounter an incredible opportunity. Her bloodline power will be awakened by her ancestor's will. Such situations are rare, and this girl's fate is also astonishing," Yang Xiao said with some admiration.

  "Oh..." Hearing this, Yang Tian nodded, silently praising the idea that misfortune and fortune come hand in hand. Suffering a severe injury only to gain a great opportunity was worth it.

  "This woman's fate is really good," Yang Tian muttered to himself, glancing at the woman who was still pretending to be unconscious, then walked deeper inside.

  Finding a clean rock, Yang Tian's consciousness sank into the ancestral dragon ring...

  After a long silence, the sky had already darkened. The extremely beautiful woman sensed that Yang Tian had entered a meditative state, and her entire body seemed to relax slightly, exuding a lazy aura.

  Although she had lost her cultivation, her perception was extremely strong. She lifted her eyelids slightly, glanced at Yang Tian's meditative posture, and sighed with relief in her heart.

  The woman's cheeks were puffed up as she looked at the treated wounds. Her extremely beautiful face instantly flushed red, such a tender and charming appearance, paired with her somewhat dreamy features, made even the heavens and earth envious.

  She tried to sit up, and as her jade arm supported her delicate body, the wounds inside her body were pulled again, causing a heart-wrenching pain that reached her very soul.

  "Ahh—" She whimpered softly, and the wound on her arm began to bleed again, causing her to collapse onto the ground, her face filled with pain.

  Noticing a slight movement, Yang Tian was instantly awakened. Looking at the woman's disheveled state, Yang Tian smiled and said, "You should rest for a while. It's better to recover a bit of your injuries than to waste your efforts now."

  The extremely beautiful woman gasped for air a few times, looked up at Yang Tian's face, struggled with her emotions for a moment, then bit her red lips tightly and whispered, "Thank you."

  Hearing this, Yang Tian's face showed a momentary look of surprise. He gave the woman a strange look, puzzled by when she had learned to express gratitude.

  The woman's beautiful eyes clearly did not miss the expression on Yang Tian's face. She frowned slightly, her red lips moving a few times, but ultimately, the words that were difficult for her to say did not come out.

  "Proud woman..." Seeing this, Yang Tian scratched his head, glanced at the woman's body, and although the wounds had been treated, her wild charm... The white dress was full of holes, and glimpses of snow-white skin made Yang Tian's heart surge with heat.

  Yang Tian felt a bit parched and jumped up, heading towards the cave entrance...

  "Hey... where are you going?" Seeing Yang Tian stepping out of the cave, the extremely beautiful woman twitched her nostrils, her eyes flickering slightly as she asked.

  "I'm hungry, I'm going to find something to eat. Stay inside and don't move around. Otherwise, if you pull your wounds, it will waste spiritual medicine."

  A indifferent voice came from outside. The extremely beautiful woman's face showed a momentary look of shock. She thought to herself, this little guy actually said I waste spiritual medicine. Do you know how many people would offer spiritual medicine if I said I needed it?

  "Skinflint," the extremely beautiful woman muttered, her gaze falling on the tattered clothes on her body, her cheeks flushing red, her beautiful eyes rapidly scanning her surroundings.

  In the mountains, Yang Tian hunted a few game animals, then climbed to the top of a peak, looking ahead. The supreme beings in front were engaged in a terrifying battle, and the surrounding spiritual beasts had almost disappeared.

  "Uncle Xiao, could there be people taking advantage of the chaos among these strong beings ahead?" Yang Tian asked, looking at the many great figures in the void.

  "It's hard to say. Who knows if there are methods to plunder bloodlines now? In ancient times, there was a force capable of doing so, but they have already gone extinct."

  "Oh, it seems this woman is still a virgin," Yang Tian muttered. If these people brazenly came to seize her, this woman would not be their match.

  "By the way, Uncle Xiao, is the secret cave here?" Yang Tian remembered that Yang Xiao had once mentioned that the secret cave was located within the Wanshan Mountains, and they should be very close.

  "Sigh... The geography of ancient times is very different from now. I'm currently studying the map, and I expect results in a couple of days," Yang Xiao said somewhat helplessly.

  Many mountain formations had undergone significant changes, and it wasn't something that could be found in a short period.

  Yang Tian patrolled outside for a while, then ran back into the cave.

  Inside the cave, the extremely beautiful woman huddled up...

  Seeing Yang Tian enter, she unconsciously shrank her delicate body, a sense of embarrassment flushing her cheeks.

  Noticing the woman's expression, Yang Tian lowered his head, grinned, and revealed a triumphant smile. He immediately started a fire, preparing to roast the game.

  Rubbing his hands, Yang Tian hung three rabbits on a wire, skillfully handling some seasonings, and in no time, the rabbits were glistening with oil.

  The extremely beautiful woman curled her legs, watching Yang Tian's actions. She smoothed her shoulder-length hair, looking at the glistening rabbits, and a hint of longing arose in her heart.

  The atmosphere inside the cave was unusually quiet, with only the crackling of the fire. The awkwardness between the two had eased significantly.

  "Awoo..." Xiao Bai was released and, seeing the glistening rabbits, its big eyes sparkled with hope. Its snow-white body rubbed against Yang Tian's, in a pleading manner.

  The extremely beautiful woman's gaze was immediately drawn, and upon seeing the mysterious beast before her, a hint of amusement appeared in her eyes. Such human-like behavior was indeed rare.

  "Little silkworm..." Yang Tian patted Xiao Bai's head, scolded it playfully, and handed one of the rabbits to Xiao Bai.

  "Here, you must be hungry..." Looking at the woman, Yang Tian picked up another rabbit, smiling.

  Hearing this, the extremely beautiful woman glanced at the rabbit, then at Yang Tian's smiling face. Just as she was about to approach, she suddenly sat down.

  "Oh... you can change into this garment," Yang Tian scratched his head, grinned, and tossed out a clean black robe: "I'll turn around, and you can change."

  "Thank you..." Picking up the robe from the ground, the woman looked at Yang Tian with complex eyes, expressing her gratitude. Today's events had been a huge shock to her, and she had been saved by Yang Tian. At the same time, she felt somewhat fortunate that the person in front of her was just a minor martial artist...
