Chapter 988: Sacred Truths
The city was dark and filled with danger. On the other hand, this aged courtyard was now brimming with life and vegetation. Even water started filling the pond again, making it look like an oasis.
In the center was a small island with a bonfire. The bright flames issued crackles and embers.
“Cough…” Xuanyuan Yiyi slowly woke up and opened her eyes. She saw the bonfire and closed them again.
“You’re still here.” She began recovering and absorbing the energy from the Buddhist pill. A long white robe covered her delicate body - clearly belonging to a man.
Feiyun sat next to the bonfire and drank from a gourd. The flames gave him a red glow, clearly illuminating his handsome appearance.
He smiled and said: “If I leave, the famous saintess of Aquamoon might be dragged away by wolves.”
She took a deep breath and became radiant with a Buddhist glow. She opened her eyes again. They became more spirited and brighter than before. She sat up straight and calmly said: “You know there are no wolves here.”
“Men can turn into wolves.” Feiyun said before adding: “I’m just kidding, don’t take me seriously.”
She glanced at the robe and gently touched it; her brows slightly furrowed.
“This is a daoist robe during my time in Wanxiang Pagoda, I’ve never worn it before. Don’t worry, the bad luck of a half-demon won’t infect you.” He took another sip.
“Thank you.” She let go and said.
