Chapter 161: Chapter 161: What Can You Offer In Exchange For Your Lives?
Chen Xueyan was shocked that the boy who was around 15-16 years old when they met a few months back was able to advance a whole major realm. He went from the peak of the Qi gathering Realm to the peak of Qi condensation Realm.
She could not even fathom the amount of talent and resources one would even need to have this kind of monstrous cultivation speed.
She did not forget that the boy was also cultivating sword intent, she had to admit that the boy also seemed to have gotten a little stronger after looking at the damage he did to the beast.
Ma Li arrived besides Noah and looked at the scared faces of the two girls. She could tell that they knew Noah and she did not have to pretend or hide his identity in front of them..
"Brother Tian what kind of horrible thing did you do to these women that they fear you so much, the one in the back looks at you like you took her maidenhood by forc- Ouch!, what was that for!"
Noah smacked the back of her head by reflex after hearing her words. How can he stomach someone accusing his gentlemanly and honorable self with something like that?
What a blasphemy!
"Stop thinking too much, you perverted girl!" His voice was laced with contempt as he looked down at her small figure, her head could only reach his shoulder as she stood beside him. Right now Noah was already around 6 feet tall.
"Hehe!" Noah's words only aroused a playful giggle from the girl. She seemed to have liked how he called her perverted with a look of disgust on his face. Being looked down by him felt exhilarating to her.
Seeing their interactions, the two girls from the Frozen Heart sect were stumped, this was truly unbelievable to them. Someone as cold and ruthless as Noah was acting like that with the daughter of the city Lord.
For a moment they even thought they saw something that they should not have.
"You were asking why brother Tian saved you right, that was because I asked him to!" turning back towards the girls, Ma Li lost her cherry and warm self and answered coldly. She did not like the way they were looking at Noah like he was the most villainous person.
'He couldn't have done something that bad to them so why are they looking at him like he is about to defile them.'
Noah also did not choose to correct her words because he did not want to give the girls some weird ideas.
Just as he expected Chen Xueyan's vigilance decreased a little but she still looked at the two of them with wariness.
*Cough!*
Before she could say anything, a loud coughing sound caught her attention, she turned around to see her junior sister Jiang was coughing up blood.
Her body was not in a good state. She rushed over to Jiang Shi while she looked through the storage pouch around her waist.
"Here take this healing pill, it will help you!" Taking out a rank 2 healing pill, she hurriedly pushed it toward her, she did not want to delay healing the girl any longer.
Jiang Shi wanted to refuse but there was no strength in her body to even lift her hand. Chen Xueyan saw that her junior sister Shi could not even lift her finger so she forced the pill down her mouth and waited for it to show its effects.
…
"Brother Tian, are they really from the Frozen Heart sect? I heard they are emotionless women who hate men and they won't even show emotions when one of their members die? The woman in front of us does not even look anything like that."
Ma Li asked with a puzzled look on her face as she watched the girl stuffing the pill in her junior sister's mouth.
"Well what you heard is true but something happened and they seem to have changed."
"Is that something you?" She looked at Noah with a knowing smirk on her face.
Before Noah could have the chance to reply to her idiotic questions, a loud coughing noise interrupted them.
"What is happening?! Why is the pill not working!" Chen Xueyan's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Jiang Shi worriedly. Her junior sister suddenly started coughing up a mouthful of blood after she fed her the pill.
Noah just looked at her and rolled his eyes before saying.
"You gave her a low quality pill, how is that supposed to heal her instantly? You need to wait for a while before the effects of the pill kick in and besides there is blood in her system. Before she gets it out, how can the healing process be done?"
After coughing up blood Jiang Shi's complexion became better. Her wounds showed signs of healing but there was not much effect on her injuries. If things went on like this she might need two to three hours before she was fully healed.
Poor girl might die from blood loss before she could even have a chance to recover. She had already exhausted her qi so she could not even use her qi to heal herself.
"That was a Rank 2 pill you know, how can you say it was a low level pill? Have some conscience will you." Ma Li rolled her eyes at Noah. She thought that he was boasting saying that Rank 2 Pills were nothing In his eyes which, unknown to her was both true and false.
The rank 2 pills were really nothing In his eyes but he was not boasting.
"That was a pill of 24% purity, it's a low quality." Noah calmly said as he watched the girl grunting in pain. He looked at Chen Xueyan and added,
"Don't you have a better quality pill?"
"Do you think everyone is rich like you? Our Sect only allows us to use contribution points to exchange the pills. With the contribution points I had on me previously , I could only exchange them for three pills."
"All of them are around the same level of purity." Hearing her words Noah paused to think and then looked at Ma Li.
"Let's go, since they are safe we need to continue our journey."
Ma Li looked at them and nodded, turning to follow.
"Wait!"
Just as Noah was about to continue his journey, the woman spoke again. Noah turned and saw that the woman was looking at him with a reluctant look on his face.
"Please help us get out of this place!" Xueyan bowed her head to show how desperate she was.
"What can I get if I were to help you?" Noah's cold voice echoed in her mind as she trembled involuntarily.
"I can give you information about a heavenly treasure that is in this realm!" It was Jiang Shi, who spoke this time. After eating the pill she already gained enough strength to squeeze out some words. She knew that their situation was dire; she had to use the most valuable thing that they could offer. Her words caused Chen Xueyan to look at her in horror, she immediately rejected the idea.
"No!"
