Chapter 155 Yuan Xia

"Aoow..." Little White's eyes widened as he stared at the fair-skinned body before him, his tail wagging.

At the sudden sound, the exquisite woman's delicate body trembled slightly. She turned her head, her gaze falling on Little White. Seeing his harmless appearance, the tension in her heart instantly relaxed.

"This little guy, he's not peeping, is he?" Yang Tian scratched his head, a face full of black lines.

The exquisite woman moved quickly. Faced with this harmless little creature, she was also a bit nervous. Suppressing the pain in her body, she pulled the black robe over herself.

"Thank you for the clothes, I'm done..." Just as Yang Tian was daydreaming, a soft voice came from behind.

Hearing this, Yang Tian turned to look, and his eyes lit up. The woman in the black robe had her graceful figure hidden, her curves becoming hazy, but it added a touch of allure. Her jet-black hair hung straight down to her waist, the noble aura about her completely dissipated, replaced by a hint of languor.

"Eat up quickly." Yang Tian's gaze froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered, hurriedly handing the wild rabbit on the ground to the woman, smiling slightly.

"Thank you." The atmosphere between them eased somewhat. The exquisite woman took the wild rabbit from Yang Tian's hand and softly thanked him. Her jade-like fingers elegantly tore off a strip of meat, put it in her mouth, and chewed slowly.

"Your bloodline is still fighting; it probably won't end anytime soon. When it does, be careful—there are many strong people following behind." Tearing at the wild rabbit, Yang Tian mumbled indistinctly.

"Oh... you know quite a lot." Hearing this, the exquisite woman stopped chewing, glanced at Yang Tian, pursed her slightly greasy red lips, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Heh, I heard it from someone else." Yang Tian smiled, paused, then tentatively asked, "You're not from the Eastern Continent, are you?"

He still remembered the bloodline resonance from earlier. If this woman was connected to his family, he might learn something about his family's past.

"I am indeed not from the Eastern Continent." The exquisite woman nodded. Her beautiful eyes hesitated for a moment, then she smiled charmingly, "What's your name?"

"My name is Yang Tian, and you?" Tearing at the wild rabbit, Yang Tian didn't believe that after saving her, she would sell him out to the ancient sacred grounds.

Hearing Yang Tian's question, the exquisite woman's jade hand clenched slightly. After a few seconds of silence, she said calmly, "My name is Yuan Xia."

"Surname Yuan... what a strange name..." Yang Tian curled his lip, suspecting the woman was lying to him. He immediately abandoned the idea of asking about his family—what if his family had a feud with hers? That would be jumping into a fire pit.

"Yang Tian, how did a martial artist like you end up here?" After a moment of silence, Yuan Xia's beautiful eyes glanced at this youth of about seventeen, voicing her biggest doubt.

"Heh, I was chased in here. I don't want to stay here either." Yang Tian smiled, then asked, "How long will it take for your injuries to heal? I think you're in for big trouble."

"My bloodline has mutated; I can't activate the energy in my body. I have to wait for the bloodline to return on its own." Yuan Xia's beautiful eyes flickered for a moment, then she said helplessly.

"That's a bit troublesome. You'd better think of something." Yang Tian frowned.

Yuan Xia's face also turned serious. In her current state, she couldn't even defeat an ordinary person, let alone strong warriors. This was the first time she had encountered a bloodline mutation.

"Alas, I don't know why the bloodline mutated either. I hope these people don't have a way to devour bloodlines." Yuan Xia sighed, a helpless look on her exquisite face.

She could sense that it was indeed a wisp of an ancestor's will descending. Their family's ancestor had fallen countless years ago; why a remnant will remained was something even she didn't understand.

"I hope not. But there are many who understand yin-yang arts. You're so beautiful, you need to be careful." Yang Tian suddenly grinned, chuckling.

"You... a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" A flush spread across Yuan Xia's cheeks. She threw the half-eaten wild rabbit in her hand directly at him, annoyed.

"Aoow..." Little White suddenly howled, leaped up, snatched the rabbit Yuan Xia had thrown, and scurried to a corner to devour it ravenously.

"This little guy, such a glutton." Watching Little White wolf down the food, Yang Tian couldn't help twitching his mouth, cursing under his breath.

"Giggle..." A smile broke out on Yuan Xia's face, and she couldn't help laughing. Her cheeks bloomed like a lotus, breathtakingly beautiful...

"What's this little beast called? What kind of exotic creature is it?" After a pause, Yuan Xia looked at Little White's snow-white fur and couldn't help asking.

"Uh..." A flicker of caution passed through Yang Tian's eyes. After a fleeting moment, he said calmly, "His name is Little White. He was given to me by someone. He's not an exotic creature..."

Yang Tian was spouting nonsense, and Yuan Xia clearly didn't believe him. A little beast that could emit demonic aura was unheard of, let alone one so strikingly intelligent.

Afraid she might see through him, Yang Tian quickly put Little White away. It wasn't that he was stingy—the Devouring Heaven Divine Beast was too terrifying. Though few recognized it, he didn't want any complications.

"Stingy..." Seeing Yang Tian's action, Yuan Xia puffed out her cheeks slightly, muttering inwardly, her face full of displeasure.

"Hey, thank you for today. Once my injuries heal, I'll repay you." After a moment of silence, Yuan Xia pursed her lips and finally voiced what had been on her mind for a long time.

As she spoke, she felt much more at ease.

"It's nothing. I'd save you again if I had to. Forget about repayment..." Hearing this, Yang Tian scratched his head and chuckled.

"Shut your crow's mouth!" Yuan Xia's brows shot up. Remembering the healing earlier, a wave of shyness flooded her cheeks. She snapped at him—all her private parts had been seen...

"If you want to repay me, think of a way to heal your injuries, and don't let those people outside come over." After a pause, Yang Tian said seriously. Among those outside were many of his enemies.

"What? Are you scared?" Yuan Xia frowned, her beautiful eyes glancing at Yang Tian with some irritation.

"Hmph... If I were scared, I'd leave now and not care whether you live or die." Yang Tian's face darkened. He muttered to himself—if it weren't for her possible connection to his family, he wouldn't bother cleaning up this mess...

Seeing Yang Tian's expression, Yuan Xia's pretty face showed a hint of embarrassment. Her jade hand clenched slightly, her eyes darting rapidly, then she gave a light smile: "Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I just..."

"What do you mean?" Yang Tian scratched his head, looking at Yuan Xia's embarrassed expression, his anger subsiding a bit. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Xiao's voice suddenly exploded.

"The battle is over! The girl's bloodline is flying back! Get out of here quickly!"

Yang Tian's face changed drastically. He rushed to the entrance, but as soon as he poked his head out, a overwhelming wave of energy surged over, blowing his body back into the cave.

Bang! Smashing into the wall, Yang Tian's mouth twitched in pain, his face full of agony, every bone in his body trembling.

"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Xia's pretty face changed. Seeing Yang Tian's pained expression, she exclaimed.

"Your bloodline is flying back." Yang Tian's chest heaved. He leaped up, looking at the whirlwind at the cave entrance, his face grave.

"Uncle Xiao, what should we do?" Yang Tian's face was full of anxiety. He said urgently.

"Wait. It depends on the girl's fortune—whether she can grasp some of the energy left by the ancestor."
