3: Chapter 3 Hero Saves the Beauty?

" A Golden Core Stage expert! "

Yang Yao was terrified. She didn't dare to face him head-on, so she immediately used her movement technique and turned to run.

The man in black pursued relentlessly, occasionally raising his hand to slash out several streaks of Sword Qi. They tore Yang Yao's dress, leaving sword marks while also revealing her skin, which was as white as congealed fat.

" I am Yang Yao, an Elder of the Alchemy Hall of the Qingyun Sect. Your Excellency, who are you? Why do you want to kill me?! "

" Stop! "

" The Qingyun Sect is not far from here. If you dare to keep chasing, you are dead! "

Yang Yao was both shocked and furious, trying to use the name of the Qingyun Sect to intimidate the opponent.

But the man in black turned a deaf ear, continuing his cold-blooded pursuit.

As time passed.

Before returning to the Qingyun Sect, after running desperately, Yang Yao's spiritual energy was nearly exhausted, and her injuries were not light. A look of despair couldn't help but appear in her eyes!

As an Elder of the Alchemy Hall and a Third-Grade Alchemist, she had done good deeds all her life and didn't know how many people she had saved, but in the end, there was no good reward for a good person!

How bitter!

After running forward for a distance, Yang Yao's spiritual energy was completely exhausted. With a " thud, " she collapsed to the ground, her beautiful face filled with despair and misery.

" Martial Aunt?! "

Just then, a surprised voice rang out, followed immediately by a pair of strong arms pulling her up from the ground and pulling her into an embrace!

Because Yang Yao had exhausted all her strength, her weak and limp body leaned against Ji Taichang. That astonishing tactile sensation made him unable to help but secretly gasp!

Hiss—

So soft!

Why hadn't he noticed before that his Martial Aunt's bosom was even broader than his Master's wife's, and even softer!

Yang Yao was stunned for a moment. She looked up at that chiseled, hard, and handsome face and couldn't help but exclaim: " Ji Taichang? Why are you here? "

" I was nearby catching White-Wing Bats for Alchemy. They only come out at night... There is Killing Intent! Martial Aunt, is someone chasing you behind? "

Ji Taichang explained while holding Yang Yao in a princess carry. His legs bent slightly, and he suddenly burst forth with immense strength, sprinting toward the mountain gate of the Qingyun Sect!

" Mm... Ji Taichang, thank you. "

Feeling Ji Taichang's strong chest and breath, Yang Yao's pretty face instantly flushed with red, and her heart rate accelerated.

" You're welcom— Hiss! "

A streak of Sword Qi attacked from afar. Although Ji Taichang tried his best to dodge, there was still a bloodstain on his shoulder. Hot blood stained his clothes and splashed onto Yang Yao's face.

" Ji Taichang, are, are you okay? "

Yang Yao exclaimed, feeling her heart rise to her throat.

" I'm fine, I can hold on! "

Ji Taichang grinned, feigning calmness, his speed not decreasing as he continued to sprint.

But in his heart, he was secretly grimacing: " Master's wife really knows how to hit hard! "

Yang Yao didn't know about this.

Seeing Ji Taichang running wildly to save her, soon getting hit by a few more swords, blood splattering, her face suddenly turned pale.

Yang Yao was both moved and filled with guilt!

Feeling the enemy's Killing Intent behind them getting closer, Yang Yao gritted her teeth: " Ji Taichang, stop worrying about me, put me down! "

" If you carry me, we will both die! "

" The assassin's target is me, you should run, I can't implicate you! "

" Take the message back to the Sect Master and have the Sect avenge me! "

With a resolute look on her face, Yang Yao closed her eyes, and two lines of desperate tears flowed from the corners of her eyes!

" Martial Aunt, stop talking. It's impossible for me to abandon you! "

Ji Taichang bared his teeth, but forced a smile on his face, looking down at Yang Yao: " In the Qingyun Sect, I, Ji Taichang, am just a transparent person no one cares about. My Master ignores me, my Senior Brothers suppress me; only Martial Aunt treats me the best. You never looked down on me, you even gave me Medicinal Pills and encouraged me to practice hard... "

" I will always keep this kindness in my heart! "

" It is impossible for me to abandon Martial Aunt! If we are to die, let us die together! "

Ji Taichang's words were sonorous and powerful, causing Yang Yao's delicate body to tremble as a warm current surged in her heart!

Actually, Yang Yao didn't usually have much interaction with Ji Taichang.

Only six years ago, when Ji Taichang first became Yang Weile's Disciple, as a Martial Aunt and Elder, Yang Yao habitually gave each of Yang Weile's Disciples a greeting gift—which was just a few of the most ordinary ningyuan pills—and casually encouraged Ji Taichang while she was at it.

That was all.

But for her unintentional act, a small favor, Ji Taichang had kept it in his heart, always thinking of repaying it!

Even if it meant risking his life, he didn't want to abandon her!

Yang Yao's slender eyelashes fluttered, and she subconsciously looked up at Ji Taichang.

The young man's clothes were torn and bloodstained, his handsome face was pale from injury and blood loss, yet he was incomparably firm, bearing the determination to face death without fear!

At this moment, in Yang Yao's eyes, Ji Taichang seemed to become infinitely tall and majestic!

Yang Yao felt as if her soft heart had been violently struck by something.

Her heart, which hadn't fluttered in a long time, was now beating rapidly, giving rise to a different kind of emotion!

[ Ding! Detected that Yang Yao's favorability has increased by 15 points. Host can obtain 10% of her late husband's cultivation/ability. Please choose, Host. ]

[ Yang Yao's Favorability: 15 (When favorability reaches 100, surprises will happen!) ]

When the System's prompt sounded.

Ji Taichang's heart jumped wildly, overjoyed!

" It worked! "

That was 10% of the Sect Master of Liehuo Sect's cultivation/ability!

Even if it wasn't enough to kill Yang Weile, it would give Ji Taichang the initial strength to protect himself and allow him to make more plans and preparations!

He had definitely bet right this time!

The situation was critical, and if his strength suddenly skyrocketed, it would expose him and arouse the suspicion of Yang Yao and Lin Xueyue, so Ji Taichang didn't claim it immediately.

" Ji Taichang, put me down! "

" The small favor I once did for you is not enough for you to risk your life to repay! "

" You are a good person, I cannot let you die with me, otherwise my conscience will be uneasy! "

Just then, Yang Yao began to struggle violently, her tone filled with pleading.

" Shut up! "

Ji Taichang panted heavily, but very domineeringly raised his hand and slapped Yang Yao's back. Immediately, the plump area trembled, with astonishing elasticity.

" I said I wouldn't abandon you. If we die, we die together! "

Ji Taichang's incomparably firm words, along with the strange tactile sensation coming from behind, made Yang Yao unable to help but let out a soft cry. Her beautiful face flushed even redder, both shy and moved!

[ Ding! Detected that Yang Yao's favorability has increased by 10 points. Host can obtain 10% of her late husband's cultivation/ability. Please choose, Host. ]

[ Yang Yao's Favorability: 25 (When favorability reaches 100, surprises will happen!) ]

The System's wonderful prompt sounded again!
