Chapter 752: Habaek’s “Bride”
With 10,000 reinforcements and the medicinal materials and other supplies they brought, the crisis in the border town was immediately resolved.
Qi Shan knew very well that everything that was possible today was all thanks to Ling Heng and his team, so he became even more respectful to them.
What's even more rare is that he didn't ask Ling Heng and the others to do anything else. Back then, the Western Region used evil sorcerers to stir up trouble, which was despicable.
If he lets Ling Heng and others intervene again, it will be no different from the Western Regions before.
Therefore, Shi Li and his group of four were very leisurely in the border town.
Unless they come for help from people whose "plague" has not yet been completely eradicated, they don't have to do anything else.
The only thing that bothered Shi Li was that she always felt very sleepy recently. She often fell asleep as soon as it got dark and could sleep until noon the next day.
Originally, she didn't take this matter too seriously and thought she was just being lazy.
Who would have thought that after lying down one day, I would fall into a coma for three days and three nights.
During this period, no matter how Ling Heng and others shouted, she could not be woken up. If it weren't for her faint breathing, people would even suspect that she had passed away.
By the next day, Ling Heng became anxious and wrote a letter directly to his master, asking him what to do.
The master originally wanted to be a reclusive expert, but when urged by his young disciple, he couldn't help but come out.
In order not to worry people, he even used a magic spell that could allow him to travel a thousand miles a day, and arrived at the border town in the evening of the day he received the letter.
The master first glanced at Shi Li, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and then asked Ling Heng in detail about their experiences outside.
"Originally, her power would not have grown if she had left her own river, but she abused it like this."
The master sighed slightly, then gave Ling Heng a soothing look.
"You don't have to worry too much. We'll pack up and take her back to her own river for a few days. She'll wake up naturally."
"Then I'll leave now."
Ling Heng couldn't wait even a quarter of an hour.
Looking at the girl with her eyes closed motionless, he couldn't calm down at all.
Master:…
"Go, go. You are like a married disciple. You made me come all the way here, but you didn't even say thank you."
Ling Heng had no time to listen to his master's complaints. He simply packed up, found a carriage, and carefully took Shi Li with him to set off immediately.
The master watched the carriage disappear into the sunset, shook his head and sighed.
He turned around and met the stern face of his eldest disciple.
"Master, after this incident, I think you should accept a few more disciples. The next time you encounter something like this, the three of us won't be enough."
Xie Yuan said this very seriously.
They fight demons and defend justice, and naturally they also have the heart to save the world, but when they encounter something like this again, they really have no time to deal with it.
"I am old and feeble..."
The master's face fell immediately, but looking at Xie Yuan's serious face, he changed his words and said, "Otherwise, I will find a good seedling for you, and you can accept him as your apprentice and teach him well?"
This is probably, is it the disciple who is tired or the master?
It would normally take at least four or five days to walk from the border town to Yecheng, but Ling Heng worked almost without sleep and arrived in just three days.
Yecheng had not changed much since they left half a year ago, except that unmarried girls no longer had to worry about being forced to marry He Bo.
Some people even recognized Ling Heng and greeted him carefully.
He had no time to deal with other people. He drove the carriage all the way to the river, got into the carriage, carefully took Shi Li out of it, and jumped into the rushing river without hesitation.
He Bo was born in this river, and this river is the source of her power.
As soon as she touched the river water, Shi Li's face became noticeably rosy. When Ling Heng and she fell to the riverside, even her breathing and heartbeat became stronger.
The riverbed was the same as before, and one could still see the white clams opening and closing beside them when the two had first met.
When the original owner was at the bottom of the river, he always treated Baibei as his bed.
Bai Bei had opened his mouth reflexively, just waiting for Ling Heng to put the person down.
Unfortunately, my love was misplaced.
Ling Heng held Shi Li in his arms and looked at her quietly, with no intention of putting her down.
The two people stood there for an unknown amount of time, like stone sculptures in the water.
Finally, Shi Li's eyelashes flickered slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
Ling Heng saw that his face was clearly reflected in her beautiful eyes.
Before he could even feel surprised, he heard Shi Li say something that he couldn't bear.
She said: "Who are you?"
