When Chu Qing woke up, it was already dark outside. It had been a day since they came to the cave to get along with the cavemen. Although the time was not very long, the danger in it had not faded at all.
Shiren had been sitting by his bed and waiting. Chu Qing felt a little thirsty. When he got up and wanted to get some water, a pair of catkins brought the water over.
Chu Qing looked at the owner of the pair of catkins in confusion. The woman who was probably the most beautiful among the cavemen smiled at him and said, "You're awake."
For some reason, Chu Qing's heart beat violently. He hadn't felt this heart-beating feeling in a long time since he felt the gentleness of a woman. When he dealt with Mengzui Ye Chenxi before, they both acted like superiors. His attitude is far less easygoing than this woman's.
"I am Nie Ningxue, the leader of the cavemen. Welcome you to join the cavemen."
She seemed to have accepted the identity of Chu Qing and others by default. After the previous contact, the three of them had a very good impression of her, especially Zhai Yu, who was used to being exploited by women. How often had he seen such a person? The gentle and amiable fairy sister has now transformed into Nie Ningxue’s fanboy.
"It's us who are causing trouble. If it's inconvenient, we'll leave in a few days..."
Originally, Chu Qing said this out of sincerity, but Nie Ningxue understood it to mean something else, "There is no distinction between first come, first served and high and low here. As long as you come here, you will be treated equally without any scruples."
Such soft yet strong words blocked Chu Qing's refusal. Seeing that Nie Ningxue seemed to have a good impression of Chu Qing, Shiren couldn't help but sigh again how important it is to have a handsome face.
A few people sat and chatted for a while, and Chu Qing finally knew what the thing in the barrier was.
It turns out that when the cavemen first found this place, the Tianshan Mountains did not have such a harsh climate, but as time passed, it became increasingly sparsely populated.
But the cavemen were originally marginalized people, but they were happy not to be disturbed by others. They lived and practiced in the caves, and their lives were relatively stable.
Nie Ningxue also talked about the old man. He was actually an elder who watched Nie Ningxue grow up. Because he didn't trust her, they went to Tianshan together.
This implicit statement caught Chu Qing's attention. He looked at the old man who was only around fifty. This Nie Ningxue must be twenty. Is she really just an ordinary elder
Seeing the suspicion in Chu Qing's eyes, Nie Ningxue smiled helplessly, but there was a hint of sweetness in that smile.
"Our relationship is that of a Taoist couple. He has always taken good care of me."
Hearing this, Zhai Yu couldn't help but spit out the water he just drank. Seeing everyone in the room looking at him with complicated expressions, Zhai Yu whistled and walked out to cover up his embarrassment.
Chu Qing also couldn't accept it, but after all, people have their own freedom of love, so they had to change the subject abruptly, "What is that snow realm? The outside world said that it can absorb debris in the spiritual energy and purify the spiritual energy, right? real?"
Nie Ningxue nodded, and just when she was about to elaborate, the old man walked in.
Maybe it's a bit wrong to say this, but even though he is not that old in actual age, he looks senile in appearance. Chu Qing guessed that it may have something to do with the guardian barrier.
Others were lying on the bed unable to do anything. Tokihito stood up and gave the old man a clasped fist and saluted. This style with a bit of charlatanism made the old man's eyes light up.
He couldn't help but glance at Shiren one more time, and then looked at Chu Qing with burning eyes.
"You are from the other world, right?"
