Chapter 1485 - 1482: Fang Wushang

Ye Qiu, feeling much more comfortable, continued into the Kunlun Mountain range calmly. As he walked, he cursed the ancient-clad man in his heart; if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have ended up in this godforsaken place.

Though Ye Qiu still doubted whether the so-called Spiritual Power catastrophe could really occur, he adopted the mindset of rather believing it might happen than not. Thus, he still intended to find the Profound Celestial Ice Sword and the Jade Mountain Kunlun Mirror.

No matter what, these two items were treasures, and regardless of whether that catastrophe occurred, acquiring these treasures was undoubtedly beneficial.

As Ye Qiu walked towards the Kunlun Mountain range, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation of Spiritual Power. This fluctuation was immensely strong, so much so that it distorted the air.

Ye Qiu immediately drew his longsword, holding it horizontally in front of him, and opened his Divine Sense, staying attentive to his surroundings.

He realized that the center of this Spiritual Power fluctuation was about a few dozen miles ahead.

Ye Qiu quickly activated his Cultivation Technique, heading towards the center of the fluctuation. When he was still several yards away, he immediately concealed his figure and cautiously approached the central area.

Upon close inspection, Ye Qiu discovered a white-clad woman lying at the center of the Spiritual Power fluctuation.

The woman appeared to be injured, barely clinging to life, and the recent fluctuation was emanating from her.

Seeing that the woman seemed genuinely severely injured, Ye Qiu slowly approached her.

The white-clad woman, seemingly aware of someone approaching, slightly moved her body.

Her face, originally turned away from Ye Qiu, tilted over. Upon seeing the woman's appearance, Ye Qiu's eyes widened.

He hadn't expected that amidst this icy and snowy terrain, there would be such a remarkable woman.

"Are you alright?" Ye Qiu asked from a short distance away, not approaching the woman. After all, encountering an injured woman suddenly in this desolate place warranted caution.

"I'm gravely injured," the white-clad woman said weakly, "Please help me."

"Was the recent Spiritual Power fluctuation caused by you?" Ye Qiu asked the woman, puzzled.

The woman nodded and said to Ye Qiu, "Yes, that fluctuation was my last remaining Spiritual Power. I wanted to see if there was anyone around who could save me."

Upon hearing the woman's words, Ye Qiu immediately used his Divine Sense to examine her condition, finding it was true. She was severely injured, and her internal Spiritual Power was nearly depleted, putting her at significant risk.

After some thought, Ye Qiu moved to the woman's side, lifting her up from the ground.

It was only when Ye Qiu actually lifted the woman that he realized how beautiful and graceful she was, with a captivating figure. Especially as he was close to her, there was a unique fragrance emanating from her.

"What's your name? Why did you get injured?" Ye Qiu asked the woman curiously, "This place is deserted, who could have injured you?"

The woman looked weakly at Ye Qiu and said, "I'm Fang Wushang, and I was hurt by a restrictive barrier."

"A restrictive barrier?" Ye Qiu said, surprised at the woman's words, "Where on the Kunlun Mountain could there be a restrictive barrier?"

Fang Wushang gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm just this unlucky, encountering a restrictive barrier even on this desolate mountain."

Though perplexed, Ye Qiu didn't doubt Fang Wushang's honesty. If someone truly wanted to kill her, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to encounter her.

"In such a remote place, if it weren't for meeting me, you might..."

Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Fang Wushang nodded and said, "Anyway, thank you for saving me. How should I address you?"

"My name is Ye Qiu. Ye as in leaf, Qiu as in autumn."

"Ye Qiu? Seeing autumn from one leaf?" Fang Wushang said, blinking her eyes that were both innocent and alluring.

Ye Qiu hadn't expected his common name to sound so pleasant coming from Fang Wushang's lips.

Holding Fang Wushang, Ye Qiu found a spacious cave and erected a barrier at the entrance, carefully laying Fang Wushang on the ground.

Once Fang Wushang was settled, Ye Qiu immediately held her wrist, checking her pulse.

"Your Spiritual Power depletion is severe. I'll transfer some Spiritual Power to you now to replenish your internal Spiritual Qi," Ye Qiu said to Fang Wushang.

Fang Wushang nodded and said, "Thank you very much. If I hadn't met you here, I might have died today."

Ye Qiu smiled slightly and said, "It means you weren't destined to die, and it also shows there's some fate between us."

As he said this, Ye Qiu aligned his palm with Fang Wushang's, slowly transferring his Spiritual Qi to her.

Fang Wushang's face, initially pale, visibly regained color.

Seeing that it was nearly enough, Ye Qiu withdrew his Spiritual Power.

After a moment, Fang Wushang exhaled deeply, slowly opened her eyes, and said to Ye Qiu, "I feel much better now, thank you so much."

Ye Qiu waved his hand and said, "I'm glad you're alright. No need for thanks, really."

"By the way, why are you here alone?" Fang Wushang asked Ye Qiu, "Very few people come to this place."

Ye Qiu smiled at Fang Wushang and said, "Since you can come, why can't I?"

Fang Wushang blushed at Ye Qiu's words, thought for a moment, and said, "It's just that very few people usually come here."

"What are you doing here?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.

"Me?" Fang Wushang smiled slightly and said, "I'm here treasure hunting. I heard there's treasure in the Kunlun Mountain range, so I came particularly to have a look."

Hearing Fang Wushang's words, Ye Qiu chuckled and said, "Treasure hunting? There's nothing here but ice and snow; who told you about any treasures?"

When Ye Qiu asked, Fang Wushang immediately looked defensively at Ye Qiu and said, "That's none of your concern. Anyway, thank you for saving me, but I must be on my way."

With that, Fang Wushang struggled to stand, but as soon as she did, she collapsed back to the ground.

"Wait!"

Ye Qiu looked at her helplessly and said, "Although your Spiritual Power has been restored, your physical injuries haven't healed. If you go out now, you might die on this Kunlun Mountain."
