Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Picturesque Moonlit Night

"CHIRP! CHIRP!"

In the sky above, the Little Purple Eagle chirped joyfully, flapping its little wings as it flew back and forth in excitement.

After kissing Tantai Mengxue’s forehead, Ye Xing glanced at the Little Purple Eagle in mock annoyance. He beckoned to it and said, "Little Zhi, come here!"

"CHIRP! CHIRP!"

The Little Purple Eagle quickly flapped its small wings and flew over to Ye Xing.

"You little rascal, you made Mengxue fall and get hurt!" Ye Xing gently poked the Little Purple Eagle’s forehead with his index finger. "Little guy, you can’t be so naughty next time, understand?"

This little one, Little Zhi, was a mischievous creature. Ye Xing knew the little guy had pecked a hole in the parachute to create an opportunity for him. But with Mengxue currently injured, Ye Xing had to scold it a little.

"CHIRP! CHIRP!"

The Little Purple Eagle quickly nodded its little head, its pair of small eyes looking unbearably cute and pitiful as it gazed at Ye Xing.

At this moment, the two of them and the bird were at the bottom of a cliff. The chasm was surrounded by mountains on all four sides, shaded by lush green trees. Not far from the grassy clearing was a small pool. Its water was clear, reflecting the crescent moon in the night sky, its surface shimmering.

"So you know you were wrong. Alright, go see if you can find a way out of this chasm!" Ye Xing said. Since the chasm was surrounded by mountains, they had to rely on the little guy to find an exit. After all, the little one was fast and could fly high. By looking down from above, it could get a clearer view of the entire chasm and find an exit more easily.

"CHIRP!"

The Little Purple Eagle quickly nodded, then flapped its small, light-purple wings and turned into a streak of purple light, flying off into the distance to scout the path for Ye Xing.

"Cough... cough..." On the grass, Tantai Mengxue coughed weakly. She had been severely injured in her battle with the Thousand-faced Man, Hu Yinjiu. A trace of blood remained at the corner of her mouth, and she was very weak.

"Mengxue, let me help you heal!" Ye Xing hurried over and helped Tantai Mengxue up from the grass.

"How can you help me heal with your Martial Arts Third Realm Cultivation?" Tantai Mengxue retorted. "I’ll heal myself. You just stay aside and focus on your own Cultivation!"

Tantai Mengxue’s Inner Power Cultivation was at the Martial Arts Seventh Realm, while Ye Xing’s was at the Martial Arts Third Realm. One was a High-tier Martial Artist at the Qi Condensation Stage, the other an Initial-Tier Martial Artist at the Qi Cultivation Stage. There was a difference of four realms and two Great Levels between them. Under normal circumstances, Ye Xing really couldn’t be of much help to Tantai Mengxue.

"Heh, I wouldn’t be so sure about that! How dare you look down on your husband? You’ll be needing some family discipline later." Ye Xing chuckled, placing his hands on Tantai Mengxue’s slender back and activating the Thunder Heart Spring Wood within his body.

Instantly, a pure Power of Life transformed into streams of cool energy and flowed into Tantai Mengxue’s body.

"Huh? Ye Xing, why does your True Qi contain such a vibrant Power of Life?" Tantai Mengxue’s delicate body trembled. Her small mouth fell open as she spoke, her beautiful eyes filled with utter amazement.

"Be good, listen to me. Don’t talk for now, just focus on healing!" Ye Xing instructed, then concentrated on channeling the Thunder Heart Spring Wood to help Tantai Mengxue heal.

The night sky was dotted with stars. The crescent moon cast its serene light down into the chasm, coating the leaves in a layer of silvery-white. They swayed like goose feathers in the gentle breeze, rustling softly.

The pool reflected the crescent moon in the night sky, and a few fish swam about at the bottom. They darted freely back and forth beside the moon’s reflection in the water.

An hour later, the healing was complete. Ye Xing withdrew his power and stood up.

"Mengxue, are you feeling any better?" Ye Xing asked with concern, gently pulling Tantai Mengxue into his arms.

"Mm, much better. I should be fifty or sixty percent recovered by tomorrow." Tantai Mengxue nestled in Ye Xing’s embrace, a sweet look in her beautiful eyes.

"So, do you still dare to look down on your husband now?" Ye Xing playfully flicked Tantai Mengxue’s nose with his finger, his eyes full of love.

"I wouldn’t dare! Ye Xing, you’re always full of surprises!" Tantai Mengxue’s heart swelled with sweetness.

"Call me husband!" Ye Xing said.

"Hus... band!" Tantai Mengxue murmured, her lovely face flushing bright red. She lowered her head, nearly burying it in her chest.

Ye Xing chuckled to himself, overjoyed.

"Mengxue, let me show you something!" Ye Xing’s eyes glinted. He suddenly opened his palm, where a green light surged. A piece of green wood, only about the size of a finger, appeared in his hand.

In the dark night, the faint green glow radiated with the color of life, making it incredibly eye-catching.

"The Thunder Heart Spring Wood!" Tantai Mengxue exclaimed, her mouth wide open and her beautiful eyes filled with shock. Confused, she asked, "But didn’t the rumors say Fu Yifan and his group took the Thunder Heart Spring Wood?"

"The Thunder Heart Spring Wood they took was a fake." Ye Xing gave a sly grin and chuckled. "Mengxue, do you remember when I asked you to draw a diagram of the Thunder Heart Spring Wood for me?"

"Mhm!" Tantai Mengxue nodded, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents, full of amusement. She still remembered how flustered Ye Xing had looked as he left that day.

"I used the diagram you drew for me to create two fake models of the Thunder Heart Spring Wood! All those Martial Artists were killing each other, fighting to the death like a bunch of idiots, without knowing that the real Thunder Heart Spring Wood was right here with yours truly." Ye Xing said smugly, "Mengxue, isn’t your husband amazing?"

"Yes, amazing! But why tell me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll snatch such a precious treasure away from you—" Tantai Mengxue huffed.

"Oh, stop it. I’m already yours. If you want it, it’s all yours!" Ye Xing said with a wicked grin, mischievously pressing his head against Tantai Mengxue’s chest.

"You... you rogue! Stop it... Get off!" Tantai Mengxue’s lovely face went crimson as she hurriedly pushed Ye Xing away. "Stop messing around! Little Yan, Little Yu, and the others are in my Qiankun Bag, and the white crane is badly injured. You have the Thunder Heart Spring Wood, so hurry up and help me heal its wounds."

"Give me a kiss, and I’ll promise!" Ye Xing chuckled.

"No!" Tantai Mengxue turned her head away.

"Then I’ll kiss you!"

Ye Xing’s eyes darted around, and he quickly planted a kiss on Tantai Mengxue’s fair, smooth cheek. It was sweet and fragrant.

"Ye Xing... you..." Tantai Mengxue was both embarrassed and annoyed.

"Oh, Mengxue, quick! Let the white crane out! It’s badly injured and needs immediate treatment. As its male master, I have a duty to heal its injuries!" Having taken advantage of her, Ye Xing quickly changed the subject, speaking with righteous conviction.

This left Tantai Mengxue not knowing whether to be angry or not. Seeing the serious expression Ye Xing was putting on, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She shot him a glare with her beautiful eyes before finally opening her Qiankun Bag and releasing the Wind-Chasing White Crane, Xia Girl, and little Chunyu.

Tantai Mengxue’s Qiankun Bag was an Upper-grade Qiankun Bag with a very large space that already contained a great deal of air. Therefore, it was no problem for people and Demon Beasts to stay inside for a period of time. When the black-clothed Hu Yinjiu had attacked earlier, the Wind-Chasing White Crane was grievously wounded by him. That was why Tantai Mengxue had placed the Wind-Chasing White Crane, Xia Girl, and little Chunyu all inside the Qiankun Bag.
