Chapter 74 - Hope

During Li Tang's recovery, the Song family didn't show up. It seemed as if, just as she had said, the Song family didn't dare to lay a hand on her.

Apart from communicating with Chu Zheng that day, Li Tang remained silent all day long, keeping a stern face. Her eyes changed from empty and numb to gloomy and deep.

However, when Chu Zheng appeared, he would slightly restrain that look in his eyes.

Chu Zheng felt that he had already turned evil. Was she still going to stop him? It's better to just do it.

The King roared before stopping her.

The King is so exhausted. It's trying to prevent two people from turning evil!!

The soul-destroying nail, Chuzheng, on Li Tang's body also had no features.

He himself didn't say it. Perhaps he was convinced that the Soul-destroying nail couldn't be taken out, and saying it wouldn't help. He would even tear open the wound for others to see, preserving his last bit of self-respect.

After being raised for several days, Li Tang can now walk on the ground.

He walked to the door, intending to go out for some fresh air, but failed to pull the sliding door.

Li Tang: "..."

Li Tang exerted force, but the door remained motionless.

He turned and walked towards the window. The window was open and the wind blew in through it, brushing past his face.

However, when his hand reached out, he felt a burning sensation.

Some kind of barrier was set up throughout the entire room.

Li Tang withdrew her hand and sat back on the bed in silence - she had trapped herself here.

These days he couldn't go to the fields and didn't notice. The shop assistant came and went normally, and he didn't think about this either...

Li Tang held onto the hand by the bedside with a slight force.

Now that he's out, he can't die!

He wants to become stronger!

No one can bully him any more.

Li Tang raised his hand to cover his shoulder, but what about the soul-destroying nail in his body? If he didn't take it out, he couldn't cultivate... Neither spiritual practice nor spiritual cultivation works.

There was a sound at the door. Li Tang let go of her hand and lay back on the bed.

Chu Zheng came in through the door. She took a bag of snacks, held Li Tang's hand and put them in his palm: "Can you leave now?" Tidy up. We're leaving the city today.

The previous question is not an inquiry at all.

She has made all the arrangements and just informed him symbolically.

Li Tang's palms were burning hot. The pastries wrapped in oiled paper gave off a pleasant fragrance.

These days when she comes back, she occasionally brings such pastries.

Sometimes she gives it to herself, and sometimes she just leaves it there. I have no idea what she's thinking at all.

Or, ever since he met this woman, he had no idea exactly what she wanted to do.

"Out of the city?" Li Tang sat up and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chu Zheng walked to the cabinet beside her, turned her back to him and said calmly, "Someone knows how to take out the demon-slaying nail. I'll take you to find him."

Li Tang was taken aback. Ever since she asked that day and he didn't answer, she hadn't asked again, as if she had forgotten the Soul-Destroying Nail.

His throat was a little dry: "You..."

Chu Zheng waited for him for a few seconds. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she said indifferently, "Tidy up. I'll wait for you down there."

Li Tang watched her leave the room. Would you like to go with her?

He tried to walk to the door and found that it could be pulled open. She retracted the barrier.

If he runs now...

Li Tang walked out of the room. Below was a bustling street. Only he entered the crowd. It would be difficult for her to catch him.

After settling the bill with the innkeeper, Chu Zheng walked out of the inn and stood in front of a carriage.

The coachman driving the carriage smiled along with her. Chu Zheng put a bag of spirit stones into his hand, and the coachman was overjoyed.

This customer is extremely generous and can't earn that much in a year.

"Miss, we've been waiting for almost half an hour." The groom reminded Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng was sitting in front of the carriage, her feet dangling in the air, swaying gently from time to time. Hearing the coachman's voice, she stopped and looked towards the inn.

Just as I was wondering if the weak chicken had run away, suddenly I saw the young man come out of the inn.

The young man walked towards Chu Zheng with a solemn expression and stared at him in silence for a while.

Chu Zheng got into the carriage first. The young man hesitated for a moment and then followed suit, sitting in the corner.

The coachman immediately led the horse out of the city.

"Look! They are the cultivators of the Purple Cloud Sect!"

"Is Ziyun Sect recruiting this year?"

"Sure, I'll recruit. Once every three years. I've been preparing for this year for a long time. If I can enter the Purple Cloud Sect and become a true cultivator, my future will be much easier!"

"Come on, come on. They're heading for the Song family. Let's go and have a look."

Chu Zheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked up at the sky.

A huge peng bird flew across the sky. Above it stood several people in flowing white clothes, as if immortals had descended to the world. Below, the common people cheered and chased after the peng bird.

Ziyun Sect...

That sect of Lin Chen.

I don't know if Lin Chen is dead... Probably not. If she had died, she would surely have rewound by now.

When all the people in the city were heading for the Song family, a carriage slowly drove out of the city against the current, gradually moving further and further away.

Baiying Valley.

"Miss, please go back. Our valley master has used up all the slots for medical treatment this year."

The little child bent down respectfully.

Chu Zheng calmly took out a bag of spirit stones.

"Miss, the Valley Master really won't treat any patients this year. Please come early next year." The little boy remained unmoved.

Another bag.

"Miss, the Valley Master really won't see you." The little boy shook his head helplessly.

Chu Zheng, with a blank expression, threw out a pile of spirit stones, almost as tall as Xiao Tong. Chu Zheng kicked them, and the spirit stones tumbled down with a loud crash, subjutting Xiao Tong's calves.

"..." Xiaotong swallowed hard and said, "Please wait a moment. I'll go and report it again."

Li Tang, standing beside Chu Zheng, said, "..."

Along the way, he had witnessed her methods of using spirit stones. While others wished they could break a spirit stone into several pieces of flowers, she wished several spirit stones could be used as one flower.

After a while, the little boy came out and made a gesture of invitation: "Miss, please come in, Sir."

Chu Zheng threw out a few more spirit stones. Little Tong's lips twitched slightly. He called over a few Little Tong and asked them to carry the spirit stones in.

In the Baiying Valley, it is said that the valley master is highly skilled in medicine, but the valley master only treats twelve patients each year.

One per month.

When the twelve quotas are full, no more patients will be accepted.

Li Tang didn't think this person could take out the Soul-destroying nail from his body because Chu Zheng had taken him all the way. Every time, she would say that someone could.

But when you look for them, they either can't do it or have never heard of it at all.

But every time she would say seriously, "I'll definitely do it next time."

Li Tang also felt that she was crazy. If she didn't run, she would waste time following her here. How many times had she said "next time"?

The Baiying Valley is filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs, and the entire valley is filled with the fragrance of the herbs.

The little boy led them through the paths and when they entered a bamboo forest, he turned around and said, "Please follow me closely, you two."

Xiaotong walked into the bamboo forest, clearly taking some kind of step. Chuzheng stepped into the bamboo forest and felt a bit unwell. Her body swayed slightly and she was supported by Li Tang behind her.

Li Tang led her to follow Xiaotong and let go of her as soon as they walked out of the bamboo forest.

Chu Zheng looked back at the bamboo forest thoughtfully. Had the bamboo forest just been repelling the power within her body? Because she is a demon?

But why is Li Tang fine?

He is also half a demon. Why should he discriminate? Spicy chicken!

"Xiao Zhu, you go down."

Just as the little boy led them to the door, a weathered voice came from inside.

Xiao Tong bent down at Chu Zheng and Li Tang and withdrew.

Chu Zheng was not at all stage-frightened and walked in with an unchanging expression. Li Tang could only follow.
