Chapter 235: The Demon Dragon’s Trail

At times like this, he was very obedient.

He did not joke around with Bai He as he usually did.

He squatting down and took out a medicinal pill.

By using his spiritual power, he crushed the pill into powder and carefully guided the medicinal essence into the injured man’s body.

As for the injured arm, no one knew whether it could truly be reattached.

Still, they had to try.

After studying at the Lingguang Sect for so long, all that learning had not been wasted.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, Xu Feng completed the entire treatment.

His forehead was already covered with sweat.

The bleeding had stopped.

The arm had also been reattached.

At the very least, the man’s life was no longer in danger.

As for everything else, they would have to wait until he woke up before they could determine exactly what had happened.

There was undoubtedly danger ahead.

None of them dared to advance recklessly.

They could only retreat back to the lakeside and wash away the dirt and blood on their bodies.

Finally, after about an hour had passed, the man slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw the blue sky and white clouds above him, tears immediately filled his eyes from excitement.

Before he could even feel happy, however, he seemed to remember something.

His entire body began trembling violently.

Zhang Ping supported him and asked, "Brother Han, what’s wrong with you?"

Han Fuju gradually regained his senses. "Zhang Ping? It’s really you, Zhang Ping."

"Han Fuju, how did you end up like this? Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Han Fuju looked utterly panicked.

He could barely speak coherently.

"I... I don’t remember. I only remember that a lot of people died. It was terrifying... It eats people. It eats people!"

He tightly grabbed Zhang Ping’s clothes.

His entire body shook uncontrollably as he spoke with extreme agitation.

Bai He was being held in Ye Shiyuan’s arms.

Whether Bai He was actually afraid or not did not matter.

In Ye Shiyuan’s eyes, he believed that Bai He would be frightened.

At first, Bai He had found it difficult to accept all of this.

But now, he was no longer as frightened as before.

Zhang Ping took out a water flask.

Han Fuju drank a large mouthful of water and seemed to calm down a little.

"Zhang Ping, it was the demon dragon. We encountered the demon dragon. It flew off in the northern direction. Right, the Young Miss... the Young Miss is missing."

"The Young Miss?"

At this point, none of them knew Ning Rongrong’s true identity.

But at a time like this, that hardly mattered anymore.

"Young Master Ning. She’s actually the Pagoda Master’s daughter. We failed to protect the Young Miss. If the Pagoda Master finds out..."

He paused before anxiously asking, "When you found me, did you find the Young Miss as well?"

Zhang Ping roughly understood the situation.

He shook his head.

"You were the only one there. We didn’t see Young Master Ning... no, Miss Ning. But you don’t need to be too pessimistic. Perhaps she’s still safe."

"I have to go find her."

Although fear still lingered in his heart, Han Fuju knew that if he returned without bringing Ning Rongrong back, it would not only be his own life that was at risk.

Even his family’s lives could be endangered.

Compared to that, fear no longer seemed important.

"We’re planning to go slay the demon dragon. If you’re determined to find Ning Rongrong, then you might as well come with us."

Bai He made the suggestion in an unusually calm tone.

"Besides, I believe Ning Rongrong is fortunate enough to be protected by fate. Nothing will happen to her."

At least, probably nothing would happen to her.

Even if some unexpected incident occurred, it did not necessarily mean she would be eliminated so quickly.

Although Han Fuju did not know who Bai He was and did not completely trust him, seeing Ye Shiyuan standing beside Bai He gave him a measure of confidence.

"Thank you, Young Master."

"You’re welcome. Please lead the way and help us find the demon dragon."

Zhang Ping personally supported Han Fuju as they walked at the front of the group.

Although their pace was not particularly fast, it allowed them to carefully scout the surroundings and avoid any unexpected dangers.

"Master."

Hearing Ye Shiyuan call out to him, Bai He did not pay much attention at first.

He was busy looking around in every direction, afraid that some accident might occur.

He was actually quite nervous.

"Master, are you tired?"

"I’m not tired."

Ye Shiyuan’s eyes darkened slightly. "If Master is tired, how about I carry you on my back?"

Bai He finally came back to his senses and froze for a moment. "Shiyuan, you want to carry me?"

The tips of Ye Shiyuan’s ears turned slightly red, but he did not say anything.

Bai He released his grip on Ye Shiyuan’s arm. "Then go ahead and carry me."

Ye Shiyuan’s eyes trembled slightly.

He looked as though he was very happy.

Bai He had not expected that such a small matter could make Ye Shiyuan so delighted.

"Host, at a time like this, showing off your affection isn’t very appropriate, is it?"

Bai He immediately retorted and said, "What does that have to do with me? Shiyuan is the one who wants to carry me."

Deep down, however, he was still very happy.

Besides, Ye Shiyuan carrying him on his back was not bothering anyone.

How could that possibly count as showing off affection?

...

"Dai Mubai, please leave immediately."

"Ning Huasang, aren’t you worried about your daughter? Tonight is the full moon. The demon dragon will fall into a frenzy, and its strength will be several times greater than usual. If anything happens to your daughter, what are you going to do?"

Ning Huasang frowned slightly.

He appeared somewhat concerned, but the worry vanished almost immediately.

"Anyone else might encounter danger, but she absolutely won’t."
