118: Chapter 118 A Beauty Falls from the Sky

That night, inside the inn's courtyard.

"Comfortable!"

Ning Yuan sat peacefully on a stone stool, leisurely drinking spirit wine and eating side dishes with a relaxed expression. If the Three Sisters could perform a dance, it would be even better!

What a pity, this was an inn; with so many eyes around, it wasn't convenient. If someone else saw them, wouldn't he be losing out big time!

So he had to watch them in secret and couldn't let outsiders know!

Ning Yuan had been like this for the past few days, drinking wine alone at night and gazing at the moonlight—it was incredibly pleasant.

The food and wine at this inn were truly excellent, all made from Yao Beasts and Spirit Medicine. The flavor was so good it made one linger and forget about returning.

Unfortunately, The women didn't know how to cook; otherwise, why would he come to an inn to eat and spend money? It was a waste of the many Yao Beasts and Spirit Medicine in the Five Elements Universe Realm.

To learn how to cook ingredients containing Spiritual Qi, one had to become a Spirit Chef; it wasn't just about simple boiling. The mysteries within were the same as Alchemy.

"Perhaps I can find a Spirit Chef in the future..." Ning Yuan took a small sip of spirit wine and murmured to himself.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to eat such delicious delicacies every day from then on?

Coupled with the graceful dancing of the Three Sisters, just thinking about it made his whole body feel hot and restless!

How could the word 'delightful' even begin to describe it!

Just as Ning Yuan was lost in his fantasies, he raised his hand to take another sip of spirit wine, but his brow furrowed. He couldn't help but look up at the night sky, where a white silhouette was falling toward him.

The silhouette's white dress fluttered, and her long black hair drifted in the wind. Her cold, peerless face was so beautiful that one couldn't help but be captivated. To call her a Fairy descending to the mortal realm would not be an exaggeration!

"Is this... Zhou Lengdie?" Ning Yuan said with a trembling voice after seeing her face clearly.

While Ning Yuan was dazed, Zhou Lengdie fell from the sky, tracing a graceful arc before landing right in the courtyard, right in front of him!

Pfft!

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Zhou Lengdie immediately lost consciousness. Her aura began to wither, and her life signs were rapidly fading.

She was already on the brink of death!

At this moment, Ning Yuan didn't dare hesitate for a second. He hurried forward, propped Zhou Lengdie up, and after checking her with his Divine Sense, his brow furrowed deeply.

He took out a grade-six life-restoring pill and stuffed it into her cherry-red mouth. The life-restoring pill melted instantly upon entering, and under the effect of the medicine, her aura began to stabilize and stopped fading!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Ning Yuan seemed to notice something. Without time to think, he quickly pulled Zhou Lengdie into the Five Elements Universe Realm and then hurriedly began to clean up the remaining traces.

A few breaths later, Ning Yuan sat back down on the stone stool as if nothing had happened. He picked up his wine cup to continue drinking, but before it reached his lips, a silhouette descended from the sky.

This silhouette was dressed in a bright red gown, giving off a stunning impression at first sight. A gold-trimmed belt cinched her willow-like waist, and a golden hairpin in her hair was the finishing touch, giving her a faint sense of nobility.

But a trace of Killing Intent flickered in her eyes, adding a different kind of charm, like someone who held the power of life and death and was about to go on a killing spree!

This woman was the Island Master of Yuheng Island, Wan Yanxia!

After looking around and seeing no sign of the person she was searching for, Wan Yanxia stared at Ning Yuan with eyes full of Killing Intent:

"Did you see anyone pass through here?"

Ning Yuan's heart tightened. Under her gaze, he felt as if he were being seen through and didn't dare move at all.

"Speak! Are you mute?" Wan Yanxia barked coldly.

Ning Yuan was startled and trembled as he pointed a finger randomly in one direction:

"T-That... over there, a white shadow just flashed past!"

"It better be the truth, or you know the consequences!" Wan Yanxia said in a grim tone. Then, with a flash, she chased in the direction Ning Yuan had pointed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

After Wan Yanxia left, Ning Yuan let out a heavy sigh, his whole body turning somewhat limp.

Only after facing a Void Refining Cultivator for the first time did he realize how terrifying it was. It wasn't easy for him to react in time!

That threat of death lingered in his heart, refusing to dissipate!

Then, thinking of what Wan Yanxia said before leaving, Ning Yuan grew anxious. If she found no one, she would definitely come back.

Tao Yao, why aren't you back yet?

Ning Yuan suddenly stood up and paced back and forth. Had he known, he wouldn't have let Tao Yao go to deal with Liu Gaofeng. It was too late for regrets now.

He had planned to eliminate the threat of Liu Gaofeng before leaving tomorrow, to avoid being constantly targeted and attacked unexpectedly.

Now, his life was hanging by a thread, and he didn't even know if he could wait for Tao Yao's return!

Even if he hid in the Five Elements Universe Realm, he would still be here when he came out. What use was that? He had to flee!

Tao Yao, hurry up!

Your man is about to be gone!

Ning Yuan kept pacing in the courtyard, muttering to himself, his hands tightly clenched, his palms drenched in sweat.

Time passed second by second, but there was still no movement. Just as Ning Yuan was thinking about fleeing first and contacting Tao Yao later when he had the chance—

Swish!

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky. This startled Ning Yuan so much that he almost fled into the air. After seeing who it was, he sighed in relief, but his heart soon tightened again.

"Let's go, let's go! We can't stay here!" Ning Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Tao Yao's arm, urging her.

"What's wrong? Isn't it tomorrow—hmm?" Before she could finish, Tao Yao sensed a Void Refining aura rapidly approaching with soaring Killing Intent.

"She's coming, she's coming! Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Ning Yuan naturally sensed it too. He was so anxious he was incoherent, clutching Tao Yao's arm tightly for fear of being left behind.

Although Tao Yao didn't know what had happened, it certainly wasn't anything good; otherwise, Ning Yuan wouldn't be so anxious.

Without asking further, Tao Yao immediately took Ning Yuan and soared into the sky, flying in the opposite direction to escape Wan Yanxia.

With such a massive aura, Wan Yanxia wasn't a fool; how could she not notice? Connecting the events, the answer became clear!

Zhou Lengdie had been rescued, and it was by that person who had just given her directions!

Wan Yanxia was instantly furious at being played for a fool. How could she tolerate this? She accelerated to chase after Tao Yao.

Such a big commotion alerted everyone on Yaoguang Island. Li Fenglei even rose into the air, wanting to see what was going on.

But when he felt Tao Yao's aura, his eyes became bloodshot, and he grew somewhat crazed, joining the pursuit of Tao Yao.

Under Tao Yao's full burst of power, her aura was naturally exposed. It wouldn't matter to those who didn't know her, but it just so happened that this person was Li Fenglei. It was hard for him not to go crazy.

"Dammit, this bastard is joining the fray too!" Ning Yuan cursed angrily upon sensing Li Fenglei's aura. They were already being hunted by Wan Yanxia, and now another one had come. This was completely unbearable!
