Chapter 238 - I Will Give You A Child
Shen Ziyu walked across Di Jiu and sat down on a rock. Then, she looked at him and asked gently, “Was it you who brought the Red Xue Flower to the hospital and gave it to me to consume?”
Di Jiu nodded his head. “That’s right. It was me.”
Although the Red Xue Flower was not meant to be consumed orally, Di Jiu did not bother explaining that.
“I’m sorry. I only found out much later.” Shen Ziyu sighed. Even though she had already guessed that Di Jiu had saved her, she felt immense gratitude when he admitted it. Shen Ziyu would have died without Di Jiu.
After pausing for a while, she added, “Thank you. I would have died if it hadn’t been for you.”
Di Jiu smiled. “No worries. You have already paid me back.”
Di Jiu did not consider this matter important. Firstly, he had only liked Shen Ziyu in his past life. Secondly, he had not found the Red Xue Flower personally…
As he thought of that, Di Jiu suddenly wondered whether the body he had seen back then had truly belonged to his past life. If the Reincarnation Bridge had not appeared there, he would not have had this sudden feeling. However, the Reincarnation Bridge had appeared. Thus, it was possible that he had imagined this feeling due to the appearance of the bridge.
Could the Reincarnation Bridge have made him feel like he had seen his past life again and then left him with some memories?
Di Jiu smiled and gave her a thumbs-up before he added, “I’m leaving… Yes, it will probably be hard for us to see each other again in the future. Take care of yourself.”
By the end of his speech, Di Jiu had already walked out of the ruins of the Wang Chuan Temple and walked away swiftly. By the time Shen Ziyu came out of her daze, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Shen Ziyu anxiously ran forward, but she only saw overgrown weeds. There was no trace of Di Jiu.
Shen Ziyu stood still on the spot, looking in the direction where Di Jiu had disappeared. She had a strange feeling that she had missed an opportunity.
After a long while, she finally broke out of this stupor and told everyone to come along. “Bring your weapons. We will stand some distance away from one another to prevent the red tiger from sneaking an attack on us.”
If Di Jiu had known that Shen Ziyu had gone there to investigate the level-four red tiger, he would most likely have been speechless. If the level-four red tiger was not killed by him, given Shen Ziyu’s cultivation level, she would practically be committing suicide by attempting to find it.
“Leader Shen, I saw the carcass of a demon beast. It is a wolf demon, most likely a level-two beast based on the look of its mouth…” Shortly after venturing deep into the Wang Chuan Mountain Range, someone discovered the carcass of the demon beast Di Jiu had slaughtered.
“There are some carcasses on my side as well…” said a second voice from a distance away.
Shen Ziyu stopped walking. She seemed to not have heard anything as she looked down in shock at the headless body of the red tiger that lay by her feet. She was rendered speechless for a long moment.
She recalled hearing the previous night that the head of the level-three fox demon king that had been residing in the Limitless 1,000-Mile Mountain had been chopped off with one move. The red tiger had died in exactly the same way.
How could someone casually kill level-three and level-four demon beasts, and yet refuse to take these valuable demon beast materials? She suddenly felt a burning desire to take a look at the expert who had killed the red tiger.
“Leader Shen, this demon beast must not have been killed too long ago… Ah, the red tiger…” The man who had discovered the carcass of the level-two wolf demon did not receive a reply from Shen Ziyu. Hence, he walked over to her while she was dragging the body along. He suddenly saw the carcass of the red tiger.
Not too long ago? Shen Ziyu suddenly turned around and rushed out speedily. She had to chase Di Jiu down and ask him about this.
If Di Jiu had been able to find a Red Xue Flower, then he had to be very close to Monk Red Dust. In that case, maybe he had inherited a true immortal cultivation Dao technique from Monk Red Dust as well.
If Di Jiu had learned such a Dao technique, it would not be surprising if these demon beasts had been killed by him. The more Shen Ziyu thought about it, the more she thought that it was possible. Why would Di Jiu dare come alone to the Forgetful River Mountain Range and stay in the Wang Chuan Temple if he did not possess the capability to do so?
…
Di Jiu, who was currently in the deep recesses of the Amazon primitive forest, circled the forest and killed any demon beasts above level-two. Then, he stayed there to let his Spiritual Sea recover.
When his Spiritual Sea recovered completely a day later, he started getting ready to leave Earth.
As soon as he took out the Plane Split Talisman and activated it, a spatial rift appeared in front of him. Thanks to his prior experience, Di Jiu did not wait this time before dashing into the spatial rift. His Spiritual Force spread immediately.
