The Way of The Dao

Ling Tian returned home and realized that Mu Shuiruo was there.

Mu Shuiruo's beautiful face showed a joy at seeing Ling Tian back: "Big brother you're back..."

Ling Tian nodded with a smile, "What are you doing here, little Shuiruo? Didn't you go with your friend? Since your brother isn't here." Ling Tian asked perplexed.

"I decided to wait for you, big brother..." Mu Shuiruo's face blushed.

Ling Tian smiled helplessly at Mu Shuiruo's reaction: "Thank you, little Shuiruo." He patted her on the head gently.

Mu Shuiruo was still blushing, but a smile could be seen on her face.

Ling Tian thought it should not be too much trouble for her to be left alone. That bastard Ming Fen should still be in bed. Besides, he had given her the bracelet that would protect her from any attack on the level below the Foundation Establishment scenario. Ling Tian realized that, in all this time, Mu Shuiruo had not taken off the bracelet he had given her.

Ling Tian began making another medicinal liquid for Yun Mengxin, as he would later see her. In the process, he continued to give Mu Shuiruo other advice. She really has a talent for alchemy since, she is very quick to learn, all the knowledge and advice Ling Tian gave her, she absorbed it like a sponge.

Soon after, Mu Shen arrived. Happiness could be seen on his face.

"Brother Tian! Thank you for encouraging me!" Mu Shen thanked Ling Tian because he had helped him before.

Ling Tian nodded when he replied with a playful smile: "I guess I already have a sister-in-law, don't I?"

Mu Shen nodded and a glimmer of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Yes! Wenxin is already my beloved! I just needed a push to make the move so we could be together officially."

Mu Shuiruo smiled for her brother who's happy to have his lover, while saying, "Wow, congratulations brother." She congratulated her brother. Secretly, she turned to see Ling Tian, a hopeful light could be seen in her eyes.

Ling Tian didn't realize this. He had most of his sight in the medicinal liquid he was making...

Mu Shen did not know that Ling Tian had helped him by chasing away the guy who was in the King rank. His eye was on the other guy, Ji Kao, so it never occurred to him what had really happened. Although it was strange for Ji Qie to leave suddenly, he being a King rank, in the end he did not pay much attention to it.

When night came, Ling Tian said goodbye to both of them, saying that he would have to go out again. He told them both that he was helping someone, so he would be back later. He told Mu Shuiruo to rest and not to stay up waiting for him. Mu Shuiruo nodded even slightly reluctantly.

Ling Tian could only laugh bitterly at the situation. He did not believe that a blessing from heaven would fall to him, which in this case was the love of a pure and sacred fairy.

Flying on his sword, Ling Tian reached the meeting point where he saw Yun Mengxin.

As always, Yun Mengxin was alert to her surroundings. When she saw that it was Ling Tian, she lowered her guard and put away her sword. An imperceptible smile was on her face like jade.

Ling Tian approached her and smiled softly, "Sorry, am I late?" He extended his hand in her direction.

This time, Yun Mengxin did not hesitate and extended her hand for Ling Tian to check her pulse: " En. Don't worry... you weren't late..." she denied and responded with a soft, heavenly voice.

Ling Tian smiled at her when he began to direct his spiritual sense and checked her body. She even seemed to be a bit more groomed, highlighting her beauty a bit more, no longer wearing those somewhat tight-fitting clothes that were for training.

Yun Mengxin again enjoyed the warm and comforting sensation that Ling Tian conveyed when he took her wrist.

More than 90% of her meridians have been repaired and healed. The next day, she should be completely healed.

Ling Tian let go of her snow-white hand: "With this last medicine, your body will be completely healed, and then I will explain a technique for you to start over and become strong again, getting the strength you long for to decide your own life." He handed her the bottle with the medicine, and explained with a smile what they would do tomorrow.

"Remember that you must not use your inner strength to fight again, as you could attract the cold to your body again and this time, it would be more painful. So until I finish healing you and explain the special technique, you must avoid fighting."

Yun Mengxin nodded, without interrupting what Ling Tian was saying.

"I think you should let your family know tomorrow that you won't be able to come back for a while. The things I'll explain will take time, and to avoid any disastrous consequences, I'll have to supervise you when you execute the technique I'll show you. If you could warn your family that you might be out for a one or two days, that would be better." Ling Tian smiled at her and explained carefully, so that she would not misunderstand.

Yun Mengxin nodded, listening obediently to Ling Tian's recommendation.

Taking the bottle containing the medicinal liquid, Yun Mengxin felt that this was a dream.

How long had she been suffering alone?

She wanted to be free of this endless pain.

All this was agony, until he came.

The hopes and dreams she had for freedom from that suffering became reality when he arrived.

That pain that was up to her bones and torturing her soul, disappeared when he arrived.

He understood her pain and helped her selflessly.

He brought light and warmth back into her life.

Grasping the medicine bottle in her hands and nibbling on her lip, while her body inexplicably began to feel slightly warm, she said in a shy, soft voice, "Thank you for helping me. I really don't know how to repay you... Whatever you want from me, I'll do it... I'll be willing if you want to do something to me..."

A timid, trembling voice came from her delicate lips. Not even a hint of coldness could be felt in her voice or in her being.

If anyone who knew the Goddess Yun Mengxin were to see her at this moment, they would be so surprised to think they were dreaming...

This was the Ice Goddess of Star City!

The Goddess of Winter!

Someone who's colder than eternal ice!

Yun Mengxin didn't know how to give back everything Ling Tian had done for her. She didn't know how to pay him back, so the only option was, she told him that whatever he wanted to do to her, she wouldn't refuse. Somehow, Yun Mengxin had deep feelings for him. His image was imprinted on her heart.

Ling Tian was fascinated by the beauty that Yun Mengxin was conveying to him at this moment. Yun Mengxin did not know the visual impact she was giving Ling Tian by behaving in this way.

Ling Tian felt his heart beating wildly again. This heartbeat had only happened once before, when he was just starting out on his path of cultivation. Since that time, he had never felt that way about anyone.

The moment Ling Tian was about to say something.

Roar!

A roar was heard near them.
