The Way of The Dao

The violent electric shock attacked Ling Tian.

Ling Tian's eyebrows furrowed when he felt a sharp pain all over his body, mainly his arms being numb.

Several small wounds could be noticed along both arms, but they slowly began to close and heal.

Ling Tian was surprised by this power and thought it was really strange that this type of person would appear.

This little girl had a special physique, just like Yun Mengxin and Lan Yin!

He had noticed that little lightning bolts formed on her as she defended herself from men when he scanned the place with his spirit sense and understood what was probably happening to this little girl.

No wonder they thought she was a monster... that lightning bolt she made now had the strength to seriously hurt someone in the Foundation Establishment...

Even his refined body barely withstood the ferocious lightning.

Watching the frightened girl who was trembling and showing a fear again when she continued to see him, Ling Tian was able to discern something of what had happened to her.

Qing Sha continued to tremble at what she had done, thinking that this person might get angry and actually do something bad to her.

Blood began to flow from her thin arms, showing that the rays had also affected and severely wounded her.

Stretching out his hand again, Ling Tian calmly patted her head, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you..."

Ling Tian took one of her arms and extracted some of his power, healing and curing the wounds she had inflicted on herself.

Qing Sha cringed a bit, as if she trying to make herself a little ball when a strange feeling filled her heart, similar to when she was playing a prank and her mother was scolding her and then hugging her.

The feeling of relief also came over her when she felt less pain in her arms.

"D-don't -y-you f-fear m-me?" Qing Sha asked nervously.

"Why would I be afraid of you?" Ling Tian answered with another question.

Qing Sha was silent, gradually beginning to enjoy Ling Tian's caresses.

Stretching out both arms again, Ling Tian this time slowed down and came closer as well.

Qing Sha could not help but feel fear again, but this time she felt a little less.

Her small, weak body became rigid as Ling Tian's arms surrounded her, finally hugging her and gently carrying her in his arms.

Qing Sha felt her heart beating fiercely, feeling many emotions such as fear, terror, nervousness, shyness...

"How could I be afraid of such a pretty girl?"

Ling Tian's soft voice gradually calmed the fear in Qing Sha, slowly starting to calm down as she was being held by a stranger.

Ling Tian stood softly and held Qing Sha in his arms, lovingly embracing her as he patted her back.

The same feeling that he got when holding Lan Yin that time, was almost the same feeling he was feeling with Qing Sha at this moment.

A girl so alone and abandoned by the world...

The soft, loving pats that landed on Qing Sha's back brought her peace and comfort for the first time in a long time.

"Where is your family?"

Ling Tian asked after hesitating for a moment, not wanting to sadden this little girl again.

Qing Sha's body curled up again between Ling Tian's arms and body, trembling slightly.

Ling Tian understood this and continued to pat her back to comfort her.

"Everything will be all right from now on, no one will ever hurt you again." Ling Tian whispered to her while holding her lovingly.

Qing Shan finally calmed down and shyly leaned on Ling Tian with calm, beginning to enjoy of his embrace.

Her small arms outstretched slowly with some fear, her hands timidly clinging to Ling Tian's clothes with some force as she closed her eyes.

Her breathing stabilized and she stopped trembling, letting herself be held by Ling Tian.

Ling Tian smiled lovingly as he held her in his arms, never ceasing to pat her back gently.

It seemed that Qing Sha had spent all her energy as a weak breath hit his chest, indicating that she had fallen asleep.

But her hands were still tightly clutched on him.

Ling Tian turned to look at the others.

This little girl had no family, and if it turned out that the family that had previously locked him up was her true family, Ling Tian would kill them, even if that man was Qing Sha's father.

Qing Sha could not live this way, as she would have to start cultivating to control the destructive energy in her body.

The Special Physical that Qing Sha has is: 'Heavenly Pulse of the Holy Lightning'.

Her spirit root would obviously be one of the three special mutated roots: the spirit root of the Lightning!

No wonder no one knew that this little girl who everyone referred to as a monster was blessed by the very heavens to reach the heights of the Immortal World!

That is why Qing Sha could summon lightning into her body to hurt others when her feelings were alarmed to the limit.

Although by doing this it was obvious that she would hurt herself much more because she did not cultivate any technique, so all those wounds and scars were the result of every time she defended herself.

It was better to take and care for this girl so that she could live happily too and avoid being killed by idiots thinking she was cursed...

Qing Sha was like Lan Yin, so Ling Tian thought there would be no problem with that. He had always been taking care of children and never got tired of it.

It was clear that his past was the main reason why he took care of all those children...

When Ling Tian turned around, he saw that everyone was watching them.

The young man was surprised when he saw his face, as were the other people, especially the women; they forgot the fear and dread they had felt a few moments earlier and were captivated when they saw the face of their savior.

But soon those loving expressions would change as they watched the little girl in his arms.

"He has that monster with him...!"

A small exclamation from one of the boys was clearly heard, tensing the atmosphere as everyone began to show expressions full of terror at the sight of Qing Sha.

Ling Tian noticed their expressions but did not blame them and instead continued to pat Qing Sha's back.

"Is that girl all right?"

Hearing this curious question, Ling Tian turned to see the young man from before.

The young man did not show a look of fear or terror when he looked at the girl, but instead, he showed a look full of pity and sadness.

"Aren't you afraid of her?" Ling Tian asked him when he raised an eyebrow at him.

The young man shook his head soon after and answered, "Everyone thinks she is cursed, but according to my mother she was blessed by the heavens but born in the wrong place... so I am not afraid of her but sad for her because people want to kill her."

He pursed his lips as he looked with pity at the little girl.

Ling Tian looked at the young man and asked, "What is your mother's name?"

If his mother had told him that, then she was someone who might know this special physique, and not many people knew about it.

The young man furrowed his brow and said, "Why should I tell you about her? I don't even know who you are..."

Ling Tian let out a small chuckle but nodded at this.

This young man was smart and did not trust others despite being saved.

Many people would blindly trust when they are saved, and then end up being betrayed by something else if a problem arose later.

Looking at his appearance, this young man seemed to have fought great battles and still carry deep wounds.

Although his level of cultivation was someone in the Early Stage of the Golden Core, he could hardly show the power of someone in the Peak Stage of Chi Gathering.

He was clearly wounded.

"So what's your name? You could at least tell me your name, couldn't you?" Ling Tian asked again, feeling a hunch.

Could this be the guy he'd been mistaken for before?

The young man looked directly at Ling Tian, watching him carefully as if he were on high guard against him.

Even though he could see that Ling Tian had no cultivation strength and not even a hint of aura in him, the young man could still feel an invisible pressure that told him this person could easily kill him.

This was the second time he felt this...

Ling Tian smiled faintly and looked at the group of hostages who were still watching from the side in obvious fear and terror.

"Go back to your homes before more people come." Ling Tian spoke loudly, waking them from their stupor.

They quickly began to escape and leave the place, the women taking one last look at Ling Tian and feeling reluctant to leave.

Ling Tian took one last look at the young man next to him and marked him with his spirit sense.

This young man seemed so familiar to him and he felt that he was related to that earlier intuition, so he should keep an eye on him.

His instincts were constantly warning him, but Ling Tian did not know where to look or what or who to look for.

That's why he had a hunch about this guy and marked him, waiting to see what would happen next.

Ling Tian turned around and started walking out of the mansion, carrying Qing Sha in his arms.

The young man saw him leave and soon after he left, taking a different path.
