Stroking the green-haired cat's round body and touching the egg under its belly, she was thinking: In this Sanyang Peak, her mother should be fine if she goes to Sanyangzi. No matter what, Sanyangzi would never let herself be branded as a person who murdered his disciples. Even if he wants to take action against her mother, it will probably be done in private.
However, under such circumstances, her mother was only a Jindan cultivator, and she was not at ease letting her deal with Sanyangzi. If she could be sent away from here to Leng Shuang and the others first, perhaps it would be easier and more direct for her to handle the rest of the things. What's more, only when her mother left here safely could she let go and do things.
She sat there in deep thought, the green-haired creature in her arms was being held down by her, unable to straighten its head, and could only lie quietly in her arms.
After a long time, Feng Jiu stood up. She let go of Green Hair and went into the cave first, planning to rest for a while and then take a bath in the evening when no one was around. In this place, taking a bath was not very convenient for her. There was no bathroom in the cave, so she could only take a bath when no one was around late at night.
However, around dusk, when she was still resting in the cave, she heard Luo Heng's voice coming from outside.
"Feng Jiu? Feng Jiu?"
Luo Heng was shouting outside, and asked worriedly: "Are you still alive?"
Hearing this, she jumped up from the bed, put on her coat, and walked out in a bad mood. When she saw the person shouting outside, she said, "What do you mean I'm still alive? Could it be that what you see now is not me, but a ghost?"
He was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands: "No, no, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to come and see if you were still alive." Luo Heng said, and then asked: "Didn't you encounter the beast tide at that time? You were in the deep, how come you didn't get hurt at all?"
Feng Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, I did. I was at the top of the mountain at that time and I saw thousands of beasts running out from afar. By the way, where is Senior Brother Chen? Is he okay?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Heng's smile instantly faded: "Senior Brother Chen, he, he..."
"What's wrong with him?" Seeing the strange look on his face, although she tried her best to hide it, she still caught it.
"What happened to him? Tell me!" Feng Jiu urged, her heart sinking as she thought to herself: Is Chen Dao dead? If they were to encounter a head-on beast tide, the mortality rate would be extremely low.
Seeing Feng Jiu's repeated questioning, Luo Heng sighed and told him in detail what happened at that time.
"After I brought him back, I asked the people in the peak to treat him, but they only knew how to refine pills and couldn't fix the bones. One doctor and one alchemist even said that Brother Chen Dao might never be able to stand up again because his lumbar spine was injured, and they also said that the best time for treatment had already passed."
Hearing this, Fengjiu frowned: "Where is he now? I'll go see him."
"I just sent him back to the cave, but he was very emotional and couldn't accept the fact that he would never be able to stand up again. He was smashing things in the cave. I tried to persuade him but he wouldn't listen. I think it's better for you not to go, so as to avoid getting hurt."
