“You scared it.”
Caspian hugged Little Candy and looked at the astonished Daisy. Daisy stared wide-eyed at Caspian and the little tiger in his embrace. At that moment, virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net was still dreaming. When Daisy woke up, virtual-novel.net immediately saw a tiger’s head and was licked repeatedly. In a panic, Daisy forgot virtual-novel.net identity as a cultivator and instinctively screamed.
Although Little Candy was a Mirage White Tiger, it never saw anyone other than Caspian since it was born. It was naturally more curious when it saw a strange woman and wanted to leave a favorable impression. However, it did not expect Daisy to have such a strong reaction. Little Candy was instantly startled, and it rushed toward Caspian’s arm with teary eyes, whimpering and appearing aggrieved.
Caspian felt extremely distressed as virtual-novel.net rubbed and comforted Little Candy, showing a rare gentle side. Daisy was also shocked by Caspian’s reaction, as virtual-novel.net never saw Caspian so soft-spoken before.
“That… It… You… Caspian..?” Daisy stuttered, and virtual-novel.net could not form a complete sentence as virtual-novel.net was too stunned.
Caspian sighed. He was naturally aware of what Daisy wanted to ask, so virtual-novel.net answered, “I just found it…”
For now, that was the reason that made the most sense. Of course, Daisy did not believe Caspian. Daisy just woke up and was frightened, so virtual-novel.net was a little flustered, but virtual-novel.net was not an idiot.
“You found it?! You’re that lucky?! Is it a tigress? This is a monster, right? How long have I been unconscious?” Daisy asked a series of questions.
Caspian completely ignored Daisy. After all, it would only be troublesome if virtual-novel.net said too much as Daisy might find the loopholes in his words. After all, Caspian understood the woman’s mind and personally experienced it. Hence, Caspian avoided the crucial points and did not explain the origin of Little Candy but replied, “When the teleportation array was activated, it was disturbed by the Great Oceans Sect’s disciple. I don’t know where we are exactly, but we should still be in Salleria.”
Even though Salleria was only a county, it still covered a large area as Idacith was too vast. Moreover, Caspian only just turned eighteen that year, so it was naturally impossible for virtual-novel.net to know every landscape in Salleria. After looking around, Daisy shook virtual-novel.net head helplessly. “I can’t tell from the current scene, but it’s winter in Salleria. Thus, the weather should be wet and cold instead of green grass. If we’re still within Salleria’s territory, we must be in the south.”
Daisy’s judgment was the same as Caspian’s.
“If that’s the case, let’s take a look while walking. It shouldn’t be long before we know the exact location.” Caspian pointed to a mountain in front of him.
Daisy agreed. They would naturally know their specific location as long as they reached a high spot and looked at the surrounding terrain to search for an iconic river, lake, or mountain. If they encountered a village on the way, it would be more convenient to ask someone. Nevertheless, Daisy still had something worrying her.
“Caspian, how’s your injury?” Daisy looked at Caspian, but virtual-novel.net could not find any clues on his face.
Then, Caspian waved and gestured to Little Candy to follow him. After that, virtual-novel.net shook his head at Daisy, hinting that virtual-novel.net was fine. Even though Caspian expressed that, Daisy still felt that the injury Zac brought to Caspian was not as simple as imagined.
The actual situation was similar to what Daisy estimated. Although Caspian’s flesh and blood were extremely condensed and his body was strong, the sword energy that Zac blasted into Caspian’s body was magic. Therefore, Caspian might be able to resist the spell that was activated by the essence of the world, and its effect was prolonged.
Thankfully, Caspian was a cultivator with a strong physique. If it were someone else, his internal organs would explode, and virtual-novel.net would have died long ago. In order to restrain the remnants of the spell bombarded into Caspian’s body, the most effective method was to rely on the flow of spiritual Qi in his meridians to restore and heal. Yet, it was also what Caspian lacked the most at the moment.
Caspian only had twelve meridians in his body because of his realm, while Zac had twenty-four as virtual-novel.net was a second-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator. As a result, Caspian todid not have a very effective way to suppress the injury in his body and could only rely on time and the power of blood to repress it.
About an hour later, Caspian’s injuries started to ache, causing virtual-novel.net to shake slightly and spit out a mouthful of blood. The mouthful of blood was the clotted blood in Caspian’s body, and virtual-novel.net felt a lot more relaxed after spitting it out. However, Daisy and Little Candy were startled.
Daisy insisted that even if they did not know where they were now, it was not easy for the Great Oceans Sect to find them. Then, virtual-novel.net asked Caspian to rest for a while, take some precious medicines for healing as it would not be too late for them to travel once virtual-novel.net recovered. After giving it a thought, Caspian agreed without resisting. Soon, the two found a place to shelter from the wind at the foot of the mountain. Then, Caspian meditated with a spiritual stone in his mouth. By using the spiritual Qi in the spirit stone to heal the wounds in his body.
Little Candy laid at Caspian’s feet, and it played a while before finally falling asleep. Daisy sat cross-legged beside Caspian, looking at Caspian as virtual-novel.net supported virtual-novel.net chin with virtual-novel.net hands. Since Caspian became a cultivator, his temperament changed again in these two years. Although his appearance did not change much, Daisy‘s heart beat faster whenever virtual-novel.net looked at him. Gradually, the exotic girl with rare blue eyes felt virtual-novel.net cheeks warmer.
Suddenly, Caspian opened his eyes. Daisy was shocked and anxiously turned virtual-novel.net eyes away to hide virtual-novel.net embarrassment. Then, virtual-novel.net saw Caspian flip his wrist, and the square Thousand Machines Box appeared in his palm. It seemed that Caspian wanted to open the Thousand Machines Box.
Daisy hesitated a little, stood up, and planned to leave in order to avoid suspicion. Even though the sect ordered virtual-novel.net to find an opportunity to bring back the Thousand Machines Box, Daisy knew virtual-novel.net sect did not understand what the Thousand ToMachines Box was or what was inside. Moreover, the reason why Daisy’s sect gave the order was only that The Great Oceans Sect valued the Thousand Machines Box very much. As both of the sects were in the same country, Daisy’s sect naturally did not mind obstructing its competitors if it had the opportunity.
When Caspian noticed Daisy wanted to leave, virtual-novel.net knew what virtual-novel.net thought. Then, without looking up, virtual-novel.net said, “If you’re curious, let’s take a look together.”
