Chen Nan smiled and said, "You're quite considerate, thank you."

Hua Xian'er glanced at him but said nothing, turned around, and left. A few minutes later, she returned with two wild chickens, cleaned them, and roasted them using Fire Magic.

She looked at Chen Nan and handed him a roasted chicken, "Can you eat by yourself?"

"I think so."

Chen Nan used his hand to prop himself up, sitting back against the large bamboo beside him, but he exerted too much force and tugged at the sword wound on his chest.

Hua Xian'er quickly stood up and sat down beside him, watching the blood seeping from his chest. She said irritably, "Don't move around. Clearly, you can't handle it but still trying to act tough. If the wound bursts open, I'm not going to bother with you."

Looking at her hands covering his wound, Chen Nan held her hand and smiled, "It seems you do care about me."

Hua Xian'er looked at the hand he was holding, her expression complex.

A moment later, she looked up and glared at Chen Nan, saying coldly, "Let go."

Chen Nan looked at her, and after being glared at again, he had to release his hand.

Hua Xian'er showed no expression on her face, tore off a roasted chicken leg, and brought it to Chen Nan's mouth. "You're half dead and still insufferable. Hurry up and eat."

Chen Nan took a bite and sighed, "It's hardest to bear the kindness of a beauty. Hua girl, how should I repay you in the future?"

"Less talk, eat your food."

Although Hua Xian'er didn't really feel this way, she outwardly remained indifferent, appearing unwilling to engage.

"Alright, girl, whatever you say goes. I won't talk." Chen Nan nodded, but his tone unmistakably sounded like he was teasing.

Hua Xian'er ignored him.

After feeding him two chicken legs, she sat aside eating by herself.

In such a situation, she couldn't help but want to assist Chen Nan, but each time she helped, she felt a heavier burden of guilt. The words 'deep hatred' weighed down on her so much that she could hardly breathe.

Afterward, Chen Nan took a few elixirs from his storage ring. After regaining some inner strength, he began meditating, channeling his Qi to heal his wounds.

However, his injuries were truly severe this time.

After a whole day of qi movement, the injuries still hadn't healed completely, only recovering about fifty to sixty percent, but it no longer affected his normal movements.

Looking at Hua Xian'er, who had guarded him for the whole day, Chen Nan said earnestly, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise, I might've been doomed."

"The Heavenly People Clan is our Human Clan's mortal enemy. Yesterday's situation, whoever it was, would have stepped in to help."

Chen Nan said, "I wouldn't have been surprised if it were someone else, but I really didn't expect you to save me, considering all the wrongs I've done to you before."

Hua Xian'er stared at him intently and said, "Are you reminding me that I should kill you?"

"If you wanted to kill me, you would've done it yesterday. Why wait until now?" Chen Nan said.

Hua Xian'er glared at him, her teeth clenching tightly, and after a moment, she gathered Gold Magic, a dagger with flashing cold light appeared in her hand, pointing at Chen Nan she said, "Chen, I warn you not to provoke me, or I'll kill you right now!"

"Fine, I'll pretend I said nothing."

Chen Nan also understood the hatred she felt towards him, so in this regard, he definitely wouldn't provoke her on purpose, unless he wanted to die.

Hua Xian'er stood up and said, "Your wounds are almost healed, I should go."

Chen Nan hurriedly said, "Why rush, let's talk a bit more. You saved me, and I didn't even get a chance to say thank you."

"You don't need to thank me. I said my reason for saving you was because the Heavenly People Clan is our common enemy; besides, my grudge hasn't been avenged. I won't let you die in someone else's hands." Hua Xian'er turned her back and said, "After your wounds are healed, I'll have a fair fight with you and kill you for revenge."

"Since I'm your enemy, how dare you turn your back on me?"

"Hmph, you're still severely injured. Even if you sneak attack, you're no match for me." Hua Xian'er's tone was disdainful, extremely confident.

With that, she launched into the air, using the Wind Soaring Technique, flying to the west.

Chen Nan watched her fading figure and shouted, "Be careful on the way, the Heavenly People's influence in the Mortal World might be more than just those two sisters. If you encounter strong enemies, don't act rashly."

"What of the Heavenly People Clan? I meet one, I kill one. I meet two, I kill a pair!"

Hua Xian'er sneered. Her figure had already vanished from Chen Nan's sight.

As the sky gradually darkened, Chen Nan also prepared to leave here, but his gaze unintentionally swept across the ground and discovered a rhombus pendant.

Chen Nan walked over to pick it up. The pendant was semi-transparent purple with a thunder emblem inside.

Although Chen Nan didn't understand Magic Tools, he could basically guess that this was a Thunder Element talisman.

Undoubtedly, it was something Hua Xian'er left behind.

"This pendant should be worn around the neck, tucked inside the clothing, how did it fall out?" Chen Nan scratched his head, wondering aloud.

Little did he know, last night Hua Xian'er had undressed to use her body to warm him. This talisman pendant fell off then and probably had been covered by bamboo leaves on the ground, so no one found it during the day.

He might never know the extent Hua Xian'er went to keep him warm last night.

"I'll return it to her the next time we meet."

Flipping the Thunder Element talisman a couple of times, Chen Nan tucked it into his storage ring and flew in the direction of home.

However, after flying about ten miles, he noticed a dazzling white light flashing continuously in the east. Curious, he stopped to observe.

The white light was extremely bright, about a dozen miles away.

Moreover, within the white light, there seemed to be illusory shadows dancing, unclear what exactly they were.

Hesitating for a moment on the spot, Chen Nan rushed eastward at high speed.

After flying forward for ten miles, seeing this white light curtain up close, Chen Nan was so shocked he stopped, staring at the area beyond the light curtain in astonishment.

This area had already entered the scope of Ningjiang City.

And below this white light curtain was the only great river running through Ningjiang City — Ningjiang.

The white light curtain before him emitted from beneath the water of Ningjiang, forming this white light curtain that stretched into the sky. Within the curtain, white figures that seemed otherworldly and ethereal were dancing, casting a mesmerizing, flickering presence reminiscent of heavenly immortals.

They danced gracefully in the air like holy fairies, exuding a unique ethereal quality, as if they might soar into the sky at any moment.

However, these figures were not real people.

But illusions formed by the white light curtain bursting from beneath Ningjiang.

"How could such a phenomenon emerge?"

Perplexed, Chen Nan accelerated his speed flying in that direction.
