Journey to the End of the Night-Chapter 1275 - 829: Purple Blood

Baili An rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

This young girl’s temperament was like a child’s, changing at a whim, and her actions were simply too reckless.

He sighed helplessly and explained, "I didn’t mean to be harsh with you. It’s just that your leg injury is so severe. Since you have such a healing Holy Object, you should use it on yourself first.

If your leg doesn’t heal, even if we have a chance to escape, you won’t get far with it as it is."

As he spoke, Baili An was still holding her hand that was clutching the Five Directions Cold Ice, ready to move it to treat her leg injury.

A warmth spread in Yin Baishuang’s heart, realizing that this foolish boy was worried about her...

"Earlier, when your injury flared up, if not treated in time, you would have died even before the pig demon made a move. I certainly don’t want to end up carrying a dead body out."

Without allowing him to refuse, Yin Baishuang channeled her Spiritual Power, transforming the last bit of the Five Directions Cold Ice into a healing light and forcing it into his body.

Baili An sighed helplessly.

With the help of the Five Directions Cold Ice, his physical strength and injuries stabilized significantly.

He touched the storage bag at his waist, took out the Teleportation Stone from it, and handed it to her.

"This is a Teleportation Stone. It can teleport you to a safe place. Keep it safe."

Yin Baishuang pushed the Teleportation Stone back, displeased, saying, "Why are you speaking like you’re giving last instructions before death? I don’t want it."

Baili An said sternly, "Don’t be willful. This Teleportation Stone, when activated by someone with cultivation below a certain level, can only teleport one person at a time. Neither of us can take two people away at once."

He once again placed the Teleportation Stone back into her hand and firmly held her hand, preventing her from letting go.

He continued, "Moreover, we have not yet rescued the women and townsfolk of Beiliao Town. Now we are trapped in this unknown cave, not knowing even where we are or which mountain this is.

This Teleportation Stone can only be used after I’ve found out the exact address of this place from the pig demon. Then, you can inform the owner of the other side of the Teleportation Stone about this location, and he will come to rescue us."

Yin Baishuang shook her head, "Since you know the owner of this Teleportation Stone, wouldn’t it be better if you ask him for help?"

Baili An replied, "I can’t be at ease leaving you here alone."

Although those simple words of not being at ease warmed her heart, she couldn’t be at ease leaving him here alone either.

"But..."

"It’s okay, I still have a way to protect myself, I won’t be in any danger."

Baili An subtly touched the Hundred Netherworld Pill beneath his chest.

Seeing his determined tone, Yin Baishuang said nothing more, sighed helplessly, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She asked, "Earlier, it seemed there was something cold coming from your sword that caught me. What was that?"

Baili An’s face momentarily froze. Had she noticed the moment Shou caught her from the pig demon’s hand?

He helplessly tapped the Quansheng Sword with his fingers, and the sword body quivered slightly.

Wisps of chilling aura formed into a long vortex surrounding the sword, and from the large vortex emerged a pudgy infant, shaking its head.

Yin Baishuang looked in shock at the pudgy child with a bright red bib, exclaiming, "Is this... a little ghost? The Tianxi Sword Sect is a renowned sect; if your mentors find out that you’re raising a little ghost, they will surely punish you severely."

Baili An smiled wryly, "Yes, I know, but this time it was a last resort, and Shou is very good; it has never hurt an innocent person."

Yin Baishuang stared blankly at the chubby child, seeing it nibble on its chubby fingers, its big eyes looking innocently at her.

Her heart softened instantly, finding that the more she looked at the little ghost, the more adorable it seemed.

Shou, being an otherworldly creature, had an extraordinary ability to sense human emotions.

Though not as miraculous as the Mind Reading Technique, Shou could sense the basics of a person’s emotional state.

And now, through the girl’s clear eyes, it didn’t sense the usual disgust towards otherworldly creatures, but rather a genuine fondness.

Some otherworldly creatures are extremely evil.

But with the right owner, such creatures can become quite innocent under their influence.

Just like Shou, sensing the fondness from her, it naturally felt a strong affection for her as well.

It giggled, its three tufts of hair quivering with each laugh.

With glee on its face, it toddled over to Yin Baishuang, embracing her waist with its pudgy little hands, happily nuzzling its chubby head against her stomach.

Yin Baishuang’s body stiffened, clearly not accustomed to this sudden affection, utterly surprised by this creature that looked like any ordinary chubby kid, and mumbled, "Is this truly the ruthless little ghost? It doesn’t look like it at all."

Baili An chuckled, "Shou is a good child. I’ve never seen it be so friendly with anyone else but me."

Yin Baishuang looked warmly at Shou, patting its chubby head, "So your name is Shou..." A mysterious feeling arose in her heart.

Even though she was only sixteen this year, seeing such a tiny creature so affectionate with her made her feel momentarily like a mother.

The thought quickly passed, and Yin Baishuang’s face instantly blushed deeply.

Baili An thought she was embarrassed by Shou’s fondness, so he quickly gathered Shou into his arms.
