Chapter 598 Offering Fish 34

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, as time passed, the vast mountain gradually returned to silence, leaving only Lin Jiu and Sima Jiao.

Sima Jiao suddenly let out a low groan, as if he were enduring immense pain.

A trickle of red slowly seeped from the corner of his mouth—the color of fresh blood. His body swayed, his steps faltering, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Lin Jiu felt a pang of anxiety and quickly reached out to support Sima Jiao.

She continuously channeled her spiritual energy into Sima Jiao's body, hoping to alleviate his pain.

After a while, Sima Jiao's complexion improved slightly, no longer as pale as paper.

Seeing that his condition had stabilized, Lin Jiu stopped channeling spiritual energy into him.

After all, given Sima Jiao's current dilapidated physical condition, which is like a sieve, injecting more spiritual energy would only be a drop in the ocean and would be of no use.

Lin Jiu pursed her lips, remaining silent, and simply helped Sima Jiao out of the cave.

She carefully led him to a large tree and let Sima Jiao rest against the trunk.

Lin Jiu stood quietly to the side, looking at Sima Jiao, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

She thought that after this matter was over, she would definitely keep Sima Jiao in check and make him stay in the house to recuperate.

After all, their spiritual communion during that period, thanks to the life force within Lin Jiu's soul, was like a long-awaited rain after a drought, nourishing Sima Jiao's damaged soul and body.

This vital force, like a gentle spring breeze, warm and soothing, greatly alleviated Sima Jiao's severely damaged soul and body.

Of course, their dual cultivation is not the evil practice of absorbing the essence of the body, but rather a practice that benefits both parties.

Lin Jiu's cultivation level was further refined and became more stable during this process.

However, compared to what she gained, the benefits Sima Jiao received were clearly more significant.

However, they did not expect that a trip down the mountain would lead to such an unexpected turn of events, causing Sima Jiao's previously improving health condition to deteriorate once again.

The reason for this is that the backlash from the spiritual fire in his body had not fully healed, and this large-scale use of spiritual fire made the backlash in his body even more severe.

In fact, as early as when Lin Jiu witnessed Sima Jiao using the spiritual fire, a thought had flashed through her mind—to help Sima Jiao refine the spiritual fire.

Once you've refined the spiritual fire, it becomes a part of you, so how can you talk about backlash?

However, after learning about Sima Jiao's past experiences and his extreme aversion to spiritual fire, she temporarily put the idea aside.

But now, seeing Sima Jiao's terrible physical condition, Lin Jiu couldn't help but feel that she had been too considerate of his feelings before.

After all, his body is already in such a state that his life and health are hard to guarantee, so why bother to take care of his mental health?

Sima Jiao was completely unaware that Lin Jiu was plotting how to suppress his injuries. He simply stared at Lin Jiu, and seeing that she remained silent and her expression kept changing, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Is Ajiu ignoring him because she's angry?

Or perhaps she witnessed his cruelty and was filled with fear, wanting to leave him?

The thought of these possibilities instantly shrouded Sima Jiao's eyes in a dark mist, churning and surging, as if he had fallen into an abyss of gloom and obsession.

At the same time, Lin Jiu pondered repeatedly in her heart, and she had already come up with a general plan on how to help Sima Jiao recuperate and refine spiritual fire.

She gently took Sima Jiao's hand and murmured to herself, "After we go back this time, you absolutely mustn't take your health lightly again. You still have a long life ahead of you. It would be too ridiculous if your grandmaster killed yourself first. After all, I'm not planning on changing partners so soon..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Sima Jiao, whose face suddenly darkened.

Sima Jiao suddenly lowered his head and kissed her, his movements intense, as if he wanted her to swallow her words.
