However, since she was seeking help from the other party, she felt embarrassed to protest and could only tell the truth.

Furthermore, she didn't have any negative feelings towards the young man in front of her. On the contrary, she even admired him a little.

In the past, when she was among her own sect, other male cultivators would act like lapdogs in front of her, bowing and being extremely submissive. They didn't even dare to look her in the eye.

Now, there was a man who dared to look her in the eye and even joke with her. She felt a sense of admiration and contrast, thinking that although this young man had a lower cultivation level, he didn't bow down easily, which showed some confidence.

"Alright, I can tell you."

"I am a cultivator from the White Ridge Forest Spirit Bird Lake, belonging to the Lake Sword Sect. I am the daughter of the sect master."

"You might have heard of this sect. It's not top-tier, but it has some reputation."

"Recently, there have been some conflicts between our sect and the Imperial Axe Sect near the Moon Phoenix City, and the situation is worsening."

"I happened to come to the Wan Beast Mountain Range near the Moon Phoenix City these days to find some herbs, but I was discovered by members of the Imperial Axe Sect. They sent several elders in the Gold Core stage to chase and kill me."

"I just managed to escape from their pursuit. I have been in a state of tension, and when I saw the commotion on your side, I killed those members of the White Night Society just in case."

...

She narrated her experience.

After the sword-wielding woman finished speaking, as if she had just remembered something, she finally introduced herself.

"By the way, my name is Liu Ruoyan. You can call me by my name."

"So now, can you protect me?"

The sword-wielding woman named Liu Ruoyan finished explaining her situation.

Chu Qianqiu nodded thoughtfully, but still asked in confusion.

"How can I protect you? You haven't said yet."

With a disdainful blink of her eyes, the two of them stared at each other until Liu Ruoyan couldn't hold back anymore.

"Of course, it's by using the snake tooth on your body to protect me."

"This snake tooth-shaped demonic pill of yours has terrifying power. It can activate a defensive shield and help me conceal my aura, assisting me in evading the pursuit of the Imperial Axe Sect."

"Those people are currently using demonic beasts to search for my trail, and I was injured by their demonic beasts just now. They left a scent mark on me. Only with your demonic pill can this be resolved."

"So now you should understand that the people from the Imperial Axe Sect will eventually find me. They are all powerful cultivators, and once they catch up, your life won't be guaranteed either."

"The two of us are now tied together. If you don't save me, you won't survive either."

Chu Qianqiu: ...

In the face of this woman's explanation, Chu Qianqiu was speechless.

It turned out that not only could he not escape now, but he would also be involved in an even greater crisis.

And what the woman said just now, it seemed that she was injured.

Lowering his head, Chu Qianqiu indeed saw a visible bloodstain on the woman's abdomen. The bloodstain was very long, like claw marks from a demonic beast, with torn flesh.

If it weren't for the woman's superior strength, using spiritual power to stabilize her injuries and forcibly stop the bleeding, her intestines might have spilled out.

"Alright, it's very dark at night now, and I just found out that you are injured. It seems that what you said is true."

"I will try now to see if I can summon the protective shield you mentioned."

Placing his hand on the snake tooth on his chest, Chu Qianqiu began to focus and try to summon the energy shield that the woman mentioned.

Liu Ruoyan was stunned, not expecting that this boy didn't know how to do it. It seemed that he had just learned about it.

"So you didn't know what treasure you were wearing?"

"Yeah, I told you to kill me earlier. Why do you have to waste so much time talking to me and even teach me things?"

"You see, now you can't kill me, right?"

"Buzz—!"

As they spoke, Chu Qianqiu quickly grasped the technique of the snake tooth and unfolded a green energy barrier.

Liu Ruoyan silently looked at the young man, feeling a complex mix of emotions and not knowing how to respond.

"I am not that kind of person. I never kill innocent people."

"Moreover, even if I don't teach you, your snake fangs will sense that you are about to be fatally injured and immediately defend yourself."

"That was just a momentary thing."

Defending her innocence a little, Liu Ruoyan stared straight at Chu Qianqiu, hoping that he would quickly put a shield on himself.

But Chu Qianqiu kept dragging on, never giving a response. Suddenly, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

He wasn't intentionally stalling, he was just slowly becoming proficient in operating the snake fangs.

To be honest, he had just mastered the new skill and could only put the shield on himself.

As for how to put it on others, he really didn't know and was still learning.

"You... well, can you do me a favor?" Liu Ruoyan pleaded. "If you help me this time, I will owe you my life. Whatever you want in the future, come find me at the Lake Sword Sect!"

Seeing the young man ignore her for a long time, Liu Ruoyan became anxious and even a little panicked.

Now, she had stayed in one place for too long, and those Axe-Wielding Sect experts she had finally escaped from were definitely getting closer to her.

Maybe they had already surrounded her and were planning to kill her completely.

Those guys were all elders of the Axe-Wielding Sect. If it were an ordinary person, Liu Ruoyan wouldn't be afraid.

But now, she was seriously injured and couldn't fully exert her strength. If those guys caught up to her again, it would be a matter of life and death.

She had wasted too much time for this guy. If she didn't get anything from him now, she would really lose her life because of it.

"I'll give you my storage ring and my sword first. That should show my sincerity, right?"

"This sword is a Earth-grade treasure, you can estimate its value yourself."

"The restriction on my ring has also been lifted. You can check it freely. There are many spirit stones, as well as some elixirs, talismans, and miscellaneous items inside."

She directly placed her storage ring and her sword on the ground.

Chu Qianqiu was stunned. He had just figured out how to share the shield, but he didn't expect the other party to give him such a big gift. Naturally, he accepted it without hesitation.

"Why are you being so polite? Do I look like that kind of person to you?"

"Actually, I've always thought you were a good person and I'm very willing to help you!"

"Alright, I'll put a shield on you right away."

Liu Ruoyan: ...

"Then please do it quickly."

After handing over all her treasures, Liu Ruoyan finally had a shield put on her, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling relieved, she suddenly sat down on the ground, like a deflated balloon, panting heavily.

The spiritual power in her abdomen began to dissipate, seemingly reaching its limit, and blood uncontrollably gushed out.

Chu Qianqiu held the lamp and saw that the woman was bleeding heavily, so he asked with some concern.

"Are you okay?"

He actually felt a little sorry for her and wanted to help.

Chu Qianqiu realized that this woman was indeed not bad-hearted and was willing to give her treasures to him.

Moreover, if she died from this injury, he seemed to be in even greater danger.

Now, the people from the Axe-Wielding Sect could appear at any time, and he and Liu Ruoyan had become like two fleas on the same rope.

If she died by his side, no matter how much he tried to explain, the people from the Axe-Wielding Sect would definitely think that they were connected and then kill him with a single blow.

Furthermore, this woman's identity was not simple, and she promised to repay him for this life, offering him even more precious treasures in the future.

Saving her would be like saving a large treasure trove, and the benefits were self-evident.

Finally, her enemy was the Axe-Wielding Sect, and the Axe-Wielding Sect had some connection with the Chu family.

Helping her would be a way of indirectly retaliating against that sect.

In other words, their enemies were the same.
