Suddenly he heard a cold voice behind him, "When you see her beautiful, jade-like face, you won't have a heart to do anything to her." Turning around, he saw Zhou Zhiruo was standing in the breeze, her face showed contempt.
Zhang Wuji was grieved and ashamed at the same time; he said, "I have made a vow by my cousin's body, if I do not punish that witch, Zhang Wuji won't have a face to live on this world."
"That would be the spirited pledge of a real man," Zhou Zhiruo said. She rushed a few steps forward and wept bitterly while stroking Yin Li's body.
Xie Xun also heard the noise of crying and went over. As he learned about Yin Li's death, he could not help but feel heartbroken.
Zhang Wuji went to a small hill to dig Yin Li's grave. The soil on that island was so shallow that he only dug for about two feet, and had already met hard rocks underneath. He did not have any shovel, so he had no choice but lay Yin Li's body in that shallow hole. He was about to heap dirt on her when he saw the blood traces on her swollen face; he thought, "Gravel and dirt piled on her face might scratch her." Thereupon he took some branches and weaved them above her body, then he carefully piled stones and rocks on top of the branches, as if she was still alive and he was afraid the stones might hurt her.
Finally, he cut a tree trunk, peeled the bark, and then using Yin Li's dagger he carved these words on it: 'The Tomb of my Beloved Wife, Zhu'Er Yin Li' and below it he wrote: 'Zhang Wuji Sincerely Stated'.
Everything was ready so at last he threw himself down and cried loudly. Zhou Zhiruo consoled him, "Miss Yin's feelings toward you were so deep and you also have showed her profound kindness. Only, do not forget what you have sworn today: you must kill Zhao Min to avenge her death; then Yin Jia Meizi [lit. (younger) sister of the Yin family] in the underworld will also smile."
Due to his intense grief, the poison that had been concentrated in Zhang Wuji's 'dan tian' [pubic region] was dispersed once again, wasting his several days' worth of effort. As a result, he had to work hard for more than ten days to gradually condense the poison and expel it out of his system.
The weather on that small island was sizzling hot; but it had plenty of wild fruits, which they could pick without any trouble to satisfy their hunger, so their lives were not terribly difficult. Zhou Zhiruo was aware that Zhang Wuji was grieved over Yin Li's death, angered over Zhao Min's craftiness, and regretted Xiao Zhao's departure; so she treated him gently with consideration.
After Zhang Wuji transferred his divine internal energy to help Xie Xun expel the poison in his body, he sould have done the same to help Zhou Zhiruo driving the poison out of her body. But this method of transferring energy required him to put one palm on her lower waist, and the other palm on the navel above her lower abdomen; how could a young man and a young woman touch each other in such intimate places? Yet without transferring his Nine Yang Divine Energy, how could he help her? He contemplated for several days without being able to make any decision.
That particular evening Xie Xun suddenly said, "Wuji, how many more days do you think we are going to stay on this island?"
Zhang Wuji was startled. "That is hard to say," he said, "I just hope there will be a ship sailing by and rescue us and take us back to the Central Earth."
"We have been here for more than a month," Xie Xun said, "Have you seen any shadow of a ship even from a distant?"
"I have not," Zhang Wuji replied.
"Exactly," Xie Xun said, "Perhaps tomorrow there will be a ship coming by, but then again, perhaps there will never be any ship passing by in a hundred years."
Zhang Wuji sighed, "This uncultivated island is outside the sailing route of the ocean ships; whether or not we can return to the Central Earth, is extremely uncertain."
"Hmm," Xie Xun said, "The antidote is hard to come by. Other than weakening the four limbs, if the 'shi xiang ruan jin san' remains in the body, does it have any other adverse effect?"
"If it is not too long, then there is no adverse effect," Zhang Wuji said, "But this kind of poison invades the muscle and erodes the bones; if it stays in the body too long, all the internal organs would unavoidably receive some damages."
"That's so," Xie Xun said, "Then why don't you think of some way to expel the poison from Miss Zhou's body as soon as possible? You said Miss Zhou and you have known each other since your childhood. At that time 'xuan ming han du' [the cold poison of Xuan Ming palm] was still inside your body, and she had shown kindness to you. Where else would you find gentle and virtuous woman like her? Could it be that you don't like her because she is not beautiful enough?"
"No, no," Zhang Wuji said, "If Miss Zhou is not beautiful then there is no beautiful women in the world."
"Let me make the decision for you, then," Xie Xun said, "Marry her. Then you don't need to worry about this man-woman propriety anymore."
Zhou Zhiruo was around when they started talking; suddenly hearing her name being mentioned, she was shy and blushed. She stood up and walked away. Xie Xun leaped and opened up his arms, blocking her way. "Don't go, don't go!" he said with a laugh, "Today I am the matchmaker, and I have made my decision."
"Xie Laoye Zi," Zhou Zhiruo angrily said, "You do not act your age! We are seeking a way to return to the Central Earth; how can you speak such nonsense in time like this?"
Xie Xun laughed heartily. "The joining of a man and a woman is an important matter of a lifetime; why did you say it is nonsense talk? Wuji, your parents were also on a deserted island when they bowed to the heaven and to the earth to become man and wife. If at that time they did not strictly follow the secular propriety and tradition, how in the world would there be a young fellow: you? Much less today you have your Yifu presiding at the wedding for you. Don't you like Miss Zhou? Don't you want to repel the poison in her body?"
Zhou Zhiruo covered her face and was about to walk away. Xie Xun pulled her sleeve while laughing, "Where are you going? Don't you think we are going to see each other tomorrow or the next day? Ah, I know! You don't want to call a blind man as your father-in-law."
"No, no, it's not that," Zhou Zhiruo replied, "Xie Laoye Zi is a hero of this age …"
"Do you agree, then?" Xie Xun asked.
Zhou Zhiruo simply replied, "No, no!"
"You think this Yizi [foster child] of mine is not a good husband material?" Xie Xun asked again.
Zhou Zhiruo was taken aback. "Zhang Gongzi's martial art skill is unquestionably outstanding, his name is revered within the Jianghu," she said, "To … to have him as a husband, what else can I ask for? Only … only …"
"Only what?" Xie Xun asked.
Zhou Zhiruo cast a quick glance toward Zhang Wuji and said, "He … in his heart he really likes Miss Zhao. I know that."
Xie Xun clenched his teeth. "That lowly person Zhao Min has treated us this cruelly, how can Wuji still persist in his own wrong doing? Wuji, I want to hear it from your own mouth."
