The Way of The Dao

Chapter 36 King Rank?!



Zhang Xinya finished washing quickly in the river.

Although she tried to do it as fast as she could, she still made sure that the bad smell and dirt all over her body was gone.

At the moment she was washing, she was surprised that she could move freely without any pain or discomfort. Even the wounds on her body, whether arms or hands, had completely recovered. That young man had really healed her.

She stepped out of the river and took the set of robes Ling Tian had left her.

Looking at the man's clothing in her hands, her face blushed deeply.

She looked around, hoping that the young man was not spying, but found no sign. She felt a little disappointment in her heart.

She put on her Ling Tian clothes and began to walk.

Remembering the steps where she had come from, she started walking back.

If anyone were to see her at this moment, they would be fascinated by the beauty she was now displaying.

Her damp hair, her jade skin so soft and wet, the drops of water that ran down the line of her collarbones toward the white ravine in the middle, along with those beautiful robes, made her look like a water goddess.

Zhang Xinya began to run quickly in the direction of her family group.

She was immediately surprised to discover that her speed was very fast, even so fast that she could cover several meters in a second. She also felt full of energy and strength. She believed that she could easily escape that earlier demonic beast, even succeed in injuring it. That was rare for her. She decided to think about it later, so she kept running.

"Huh?"

She noticed something that was lying on the tree thanks to the sunlight that reflected on its surface.

She approached and was amazed to see such a beautiful spear.

The spear was the same size as her previous spear. Its grip was firm, perfect for her hands. On its surface one could see images of a phoenix covering the entire spear. Its tip and edge exuded an astonishing power.

Zhang Xinya fell instantly in love with this spear.

When she looked around, she did not discover the young man nearby. She knew that this mysterious young man had left her this gift, so she could not help but press the spear even harder into her hands, holding it tightly to her chest.

Zhang Xinya smiled sweetly, while she thought of many things.

Zhang Xinya did not know what she felt in her heart, but she was sure that this young man was the first man to make her heart beat. No man had ever done that before, so inevitably the figure of that handsome young man became ingrained in her mind and heart. He saved her from her inevitable death, so she could not help but fall in love with that young man.

"I didn't ask his name..."

Zhang Xinya was depressed when she remembered that she didn't know his name. So, she could look for him in Star City and know which family he came from.

She had seen most of the young men from the five great families of Star City, but she had never seen that young man before, so she thought he might be a hidden young man from those great families, or at least from the aristocratic families. Although she believed that the commoner families could not produce such a young man, she would still search among them as well. She did not care if he was a commoner, she did not discriminate against others because of her high social status.

Zhang Xinya immediately got rid of her frustration and smiled slyly: "Hmph! Don't think that I won't look for you... this young miss will move earth and sea to look for you, even if you hide I will find you. You're the first man I've ever liked and the first to see me naked, so you won't get away from me. You'd better face the consequences!"

Zhang Xinya remembered that Ling Tian had seen her naked and even touched her belly, so her face blushed and she immediately pouted as she remembered not seeing any reaction from him when he saw her body. Any man would look fiercely at her body if they had the chance, but he showed no sign of lust.

She would be annoyed and upset if anyone other than her husband looked at her obscenely. Her husband is the only one who can look at and touch her body, so she was worried that he would not be interested in her body, so she could not help but look at her body. Yes, she already considered that young man her future man. She would only love one man, who would be her husband without any doubt.

"Young Miss!"

A feminine cry drew Zhang Xinya out of her thoughts before she turned her gaze to the two women coming towards her.

"Aunt Xie! Aunt Li!"

Zhang Xinya was surprised to see her two aunts here... weren't they fighting the horde of demon beasts?

Before she could say anything else, the two women came over and started checking her out.

"Sigh, I'm glad you're okay! We were so worried!" Zhang Xie spoke when she saw that Zhang Xinya was in good condition. They even saw that she was more beautiful. Her skin was cleaner and shinier, like shiny jade. But, she soon frowned when she noticed she was wearing other clothes: "Young Miss ... did something happen? Did that mysterious person do something bad to you?"

Zhang Xinya didn't know why her aunt had asked her that, but she instantly understood when she saw her look and her current state so she quickly replied, "Don't worry aunt! That young man didn't do anything to me. It is just that I was very dirty and my clothes were torn to pieces when I was being chased by that demon beast. He killed that demon beast and was kind enough to give me one of his clothes so that I could wash and cover myself."

Zhang Xie and Zhang Li were surprised by what Zhang Xinya said, but immediately nodded when they found the explanation reasonable.

A young man?

They remembered what Zhang Xinya said.

"Young miss, that person who saved you... was he a young man?" Zhang Li asked.

"Huh?" Zhang Xinya was puzzled by such a question before nodding, "En, it was a young man. He looks my age..." she didn't know why they had asked that. Was it someone else who helped them and not that mysterious young man?

"Aunt Xie, Aunt Li, how did you come quickly to this place? Weren't you fighting the demon beasts?" Zhang Xinya wanted to know who it really was that saved them.

They both nodded to her question as they said: "Yes, a mysterious person helped us and easily annihilated the whole horde of demon beasts by himself, carrying a sword in his hand. But we could not see his face, for he had a mask covering him."

Zhang Xinya was astonished to hear that the young man had wiped out the entire horde of demonic beasts by himself, but she still asked, "Were his clothes white with blue?" Although she was sure that it was that young man, she still wanted to confirm it.

Both women nodded.

Zhang Xinya thought: 'It seems that he really doesn't want them to know who he is or recognize him. Hpmh! Anyway, I've seen your face. You still won't get away from me!'

The two women immediately saw the beautiful and amazing spear in her hands. They wanted to ask her about that spear, but decided to do so later, when they were completely safe, outside this place.

"Let's go. We have to go back and inform the patriarch about this event." Zhang Xie spoke as she prepared to leave.

Zhang Xinya nodded as she started to run back.

She instantly surprised both women by her speed.

"Young Miss!"

"Mmm?"

Zhang Xinya stopped when she heard Zhang Xie's scream.

Zhang Xie quickly approached Zhang Xinya and instantly grabbed her wrist. Zhang Xinya thought she wanted to check her body, in case she had any injuries, so she did not resist.

Zhang Xie's body trembled as disbelief passed through her eyes and she screamed:

"King Rank?!"
