Chapter 98 - 95 Great Hua Country Heavenly Martial Hall
Until all the nearby beasts had fled, the woman dressed in white finally came to her senses. Then, with a complex look in her beautiful eyes, she faced Ye Xuan and gave a slight bow of her hands, "Thank you... for saving my life."
Although she didn’t know how Ye Xuan had managed to scare away the Green-Eyed Toad, the crisis had been resolved, which all of them had witnessed, albeit bafflingly. No matter what, it was Ye Xuan who had saved them...
"No need for that, we had an agreement, I helped you solve a problem, and you’ll guide me out of the Poison Miasma Forest. We are even."
Ye Xuan waved his hand. He just wanted to find a guide quickly and leave this dreadful place. Compared to the Green-Eyed Toad, this woman in white and her companions were undoubtedly a better choice. Meanwhile, he could also gather some information about the Great Hua Country from them. As for the favor of saving their lives, he thought it was better to avoid further trouble.
"Rest assured, with no interference from the Green-Eyed Toad, it should take us less than half a day to get out of here."
The woman in white nodded. Now, she had become somewhat curious about Ye Xuan, who was too mysterious—a lone figure lost in the Poison Miasma Forest, yet appearing in front of them unscathed, as if unfazed by the forest’s poison and ferocious beasts, moving freely and easily. Most importantly, he had somehow frightened off the ruler of the Poison Miasma Forest, the Green-Eyed Toad, enveloping himself in a cloak of mystery.
"Why don’t you take a rest? We’ll regroup here and set off. We should be able to get out of this forest and reach Green Sun County by tomorrow," said the woman in white, smiling more warmly towards Ye Xuan now.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan also heaved a sigh of relief and nodded in response. Green Sun County, being the closest county to the Panlong Mountain from the Great Hua Country, meant that reaching it was akin to entering the boundaries of the Great Hua Country.
Seeing Ye Xuan nod, the woman in white then proceeded to organize her group. The team of more than ten people had all been through beast attacks along the way and were clearly not in good condition. They all needed some time to recuperate.
Keeping some distance from the woman in white and her group, Ye Xuan sat down under a large tree to take a brief rest. Since the woman and her group would probably take a while before they could move, he decided to restore his body and spirit first. Given his current physical state, he wasn’t quite ready for a long journey.
