Chapter 2356: Run
Yi Liang nodded, put Ning Shu on his shoulder, and began to run.
Ning Shu: …
She didn’t like being carried like this. All the shaking made her want to throw up.
Yi Liang carried Ning Shu around for a while as he ran. By the time he stopped running, he no longer knew where he was.
Ning Shu jumped off Yi Liang’s shoulder and looked around.
Truthfully speaking, regardless of where they were, their situation wouldn’t be much better. They were now just wandering around aimlessly.
Moreover, this was no longer the area that Ning Shu was familiar with.
Ning Shu sniffed the smell in the air, trying to analyze what animals might be around.
However, it was snowing, so many of the smells had been masked.
Yi Liang was so tired that he lay on the ground, gasping for breath. He then grabbed the snow and stuffed it in his mouth.
Ning Shu’s whole body was aching all over. She had to cultivate and use spiritual energy to repair her twisted meridians.
“We need to go find a resting place now. I’m injured,” Ning Shu said.
“Xiao Hei, where are you injured? Is it serious?” Yi Liang nervously asked when he heard that she was injured.
“Let’s just slowly find a place to spend the night in.” No one’s body would be able to withstand being outside at night in this kind of weather.
“Alright.”
Yi Liang carried Ning Shu, wandered in the forest, and finally found a cave. However, the cave was smelly, and a blind bear was hibernating in it.
When Yi Liang saw the blind bear, he turned around and ran away.
Yi Liang didn’t think he could beat a bear. He had only cultivated for one night. Yi Liang didn’t think that he had turned that powerful in one night.
Yi Liang hugged Ning Shu and found another new place, which was a small cave. Ning Shu and Yi Liang squeezed into it. They couldn’t even stretch out in the slightest.
Ning Shu lay on the ground and started to slowly absorb the spiritual energy, then started to cultivate. Her meridians throbbed.
The spiritual energy in the body started to slowly repair the twisted meridians.
Yi Liang watched Ning Shu cultivate and followed suit. The surrounding spiritual energy gathered towards the two of them.
Yi Liang had eaten a flame fruit before, so his meridians were free of impurities. He absorbed the spiritual energy without a hitch, and he also cultivated very quickly.
Ning Shu used all her spiritual energy to repair her meridians. Although it was still twisted and still ached from time to time, it was already much better.
The next morning, Yi Liang stopped cultivating and touched his groaning stomach. He felt that he hadn’t eaten for a long time.
“Xiao Hei, we should find a place to eat. Otherwise, we’d starve to death.” Yi Liang hugged Ning Shu and climbed out of the cave.
Ning Shu licked a few mouthfuls of snow.
Yi Liang also grabbed some snow and stuffed it in his mouth. He then carried Ning Shu on his shoulder again to rush out.
The more he cultivated, the brisker his movement became. He ran quickly with Ning Shu in his arms. Beside them, it seemed like the trees were retreating.
Ning Shu checked the back of Yi Liang’s neck. The mark was still there and still wrapped in energy. She didn’t know when it would completely dissipate.
Yi Liang was worried about being discovered by the two cultivators, so he ran as quickly as he could.
Heaven wouldn’t turn their backs on people who worked hard, and indeed, Yi Liang finally discovered a house.
It was a thatched hut, placed by a pond. Despite the season, there were actually lush flowers blooming on its fences.
As soon as they walked in, they smelled a strong floral scent.
“Xiao Hei, we’ve found a house. We finally don’t have to stay in caves anymore.” Yi Liang was, after all, still just a twelve-year-old. As soon as he saw the house, he was overjoyed.
Ning Shu wasn’t quite as optimistic. This house was the only one around, and its occupant was also nowhere to be seen. She suspected that it was an illusion.
