Hua Qian Gu could finally see again, the joy she felt couldn't be put into words, even with all the chaos in the savage wilderness and living in the shabby little cabin; in her eyes, everything was bright and colorful.
She held Snorting Beast tightly onto her chest, touched its warm fur, poked at its soft pig-like nose. She always wanted to know how the one that never left her side look like, it was cuter than what she imagined.
Snorting Beast crawled onto her shoulder, licked her face, and licked her eye lids. Hua Qian Gu felt the coldness on her eyes and remembered Tang Bao. Although Dong Fang was by its side and she didn't need to worry, she still missed Tang Bao. She missed it sleeping in her ear, rolling on her palms, acting like a spoiled child while holding her nose... it had never left her side for this long before and had always kept her company...
"How old are you?" Zhu Ran asked, according to her cultivation before she couldn't be more than 12-13 years old, must've stopped her growth when she got her immortal body.
—Almost 20 years old.
She wrote uncertainly, suddenly became absentminded, she had actually been by his side for so many years already.
Zhu Ran suddenly grabbed her hand and looked at it carefully. He didn't lose his immortal body, but since he was trapped in the savage wilderness, he lost his power, so not getting older or dying was natural. But she had returned to her mortal self, why hadn't she grown? It's already been a few months since she's been here, why is it that even her hair and nail hasn't grown?
Hua Qian Gu felt uncomfortable and retracted her hand.
—There were rumors that after you were kicked out of the sect your whereabouts were unknown. But you were in the savage wilderness all along.
Zhu Ran made a ghastly laugh: "That's natural; Mo Yan couldn't bare to kill me, but wouldn't allow me to live in the six realms."
Hua Qian Gu no longer had any interest in what happened to him and Mo Yan. Since they can never leave, whatever happened outside will no longer have any connections with them. But she misses Qing Shui, Dong Fang and Sha Qian Mo, and even more worried about Tang Bao and Xiao Yue...
—I still want to thank senior brother; if it wasn't for you I would have long been dead.
Zhu Ran smiled coldly and said," First of all, I told you not to call me your senior brother, just call me Zhu Ran. Secondly, I didn't save you, your power to live was so strong that nothing can kill you, and Snorting Beast was always there to protect you."
—But I still want to thank you for taking me in.
"Do you know why I took you in?"
Hua Qian Gu shook her head, unsure.
—Because you knew from the start that I was also a Chang Liu disciple...
Zhu Ran cut her off, "What does you being Chang Liu's disciple have anything to do with me? I saved you because I thought you were unusual, maybe you'll be useful in the future. Remember, I only want to use you, you don't need to be grateful, if you think you owe me anything, return the favor in the future."
Hua Qian Gu vaguely understood him, didn't know he was going to be so blunt, can't help but be slightly taken back. From the first time she laid eyes on him, she knew he was not an upright person.
—You want to leave?
"humph, I cannot be trapped here forever, I have to get my revenge. You've been here for so long, suffered so much, you don't want to leave?"
—My Teacher sent me here, he must have his reasons, I'm already so apologetic towards him, I don't want to go against his orders.
If Teacher really didn't want to see her, then she will forever stay here. She lowered her head and ignored the ache in her heart.
