Chapter 582

(Unedited)



The scene in front of her eyes is too spectacular to behold that she keeps on watching with bated breath. She is praying that the young man fighting against the mythical creature who could talk like a normal human being would win this fight.

When she saw the face of the young man, she was a bit skeptical as she could somewhat recognize him. It seems that she had seen him somewhere before.

Now that she could clearly see his face, she was astounded. Does this mean that the young man whom they saw in the river that night was a new disciple of the sect? If so then her reputation would be ruined if he talked.

That night was the first time she spent a long time with a man that she has learned to love after a long time. Her senior Chang Song has been very patient towards her and has been wooing her for four years already. And she could not deny it that she has fallen for his charms. Who wouldn't? A handsome, kind, and a strong young man with a lot of potentials, and for this reason, she began to be attracted to him.

That night, although nothing happened between them and she has kept her chastity, they still did some things that most couples would do. Luckily for her, she has kept her senses and stopped in the middle. But who would believe her if this young man blabbers his mouth? Hence she is a bit scared.

But right at this moment, her anxiousness is not whether the young man would tell on her, but rather the beast he is fighting. A mythical beast, so strong, that even their sect master would not be able to defeat.

However, as she watches she was dumbfounded and is unable to believe what she is seeing. Right now, she can see that although the beast is rampaging the young man can still dodge its powerful attacks. Then it happened, the beast was hit, and then after the second hit where the two clash together, the beast froze.

Not long later, the beast suddenly turned into a puddle of blood. But she heard what they were talking about. The words, 'prison' and 'escape' linger in her mind.

She could not help but gasp after seeing this scene.

But her heart suddenly skipped a beat upon noticing the young man looking in her direction.

"Come out… I knew that you are there. I promise not to hurt you if you come out." Shin Jiao calmly said as he stood with one hand on his back looking like a respectable scholar.

Lin Baojing could not help herself but be shaken as her hand trembles with fear as she slowly stood up. She dares not offend this monster.

"It's you…" Shin Jiao muttered after seeing who the person hiding in the bushes is.

"Whatever you heard I hope that you would forget about it… the beast tide would not come again. I think this 'beast' is the one who is always causing the commotion in these areas. With him dead, you can be assured that the sects would be safe… for now, unless another sentient beast would come and replace it. Go now… remember if you tattle about what you have seen, then I will hunt you down." Shin Jiao said while gesturing for her to run away.

Lin Baojing blinks her eyes in disbelief and for a while did not move.

"Go, now!" Shin Jiao said with annoyance.

"Th… thank you, senior…" she suddenly uttered while cupping her hands and suddenly ran away.

Shin Jiao turn around and was about to leave when he noticed something on the ground. From the boneless corpse, he felt something.

He extended his hand and touches the tiger's skin. Then he saw a light green crystal at the back of the tiger's heart. Plus he also noticed that the tiger is actually still alive.

He looks at the tiger's eyes and the two stare at each other.

"Haha… you're still conscious? What tenacity…" Shin Jiao said a suddenly extended his hand and like a hot knife cutting through butter, he easily grabs the crystal.

He absorbed the energy within the crystal and discovers that it actually contains mana and Qi. Although it is only equal to a late stage 1st level beast, it still contains Qi and mana.

"What a baffling situation this is." He muttered as he left.

At that time, he dare not take the crystal away because he knew that it would dissipate after it is exposed in the air.

With an idea, Shin Jiao decided to hunt down another strong beast. And true to his conjecture, if he did not kill them, he could see the crystal behind their heart. With that, he began absorbing the crystals and this process would cause the beast to die.

As Shin Jiao continue doing so, he noticed that he has already killed a lot of beast in the forest and has filled one whole sphere in his dantian.

"Sigh, my sphere needs too much energy before it would be filled. If only I can use essence siphon, then I could absorb the whole essence of the beast… that would be the most efficient way." He thought as he continues walking.

Not long later, he noticed an area where there are many human activities happening. He then noticed the presence of many soldiers. Upon seeing this he felt a bit surprise and elated at the same time. He is aiming to go back to the city as he needs to explain himself and what happened at that time. His identity as a doctor is still very important for his future plans.

However, before he walked out, he noticed the Mountain Beast Sect robe he is wearing and immediately changed his clothes. He wore a normal blue robe made of silk and cotton. He ruffled his clothes for a bit and smears some dirt on his face. After looking himself in a mirror he took from his ring, he smiles in contentment.

He suddenly rushes towards the area where the guards are while calling in a hoarse voice.

"Help… help… me…"

When a guard saw him and his figure, he was a bit surprised. However, he immediately recognizes the young doctor who stayed in the hospital for 2 days to help them. They heard of the rumor and knew what had happened. But upon seeing that the young doctor is fine, the guard showed a grateful expression on his face.

"Hey! It's the young doctor…. Young doctor Ji came back!" shouted the guard as he quickly moves forward the help Shin Jiao's figure.

As soon as the guard approached him, Shin Jiao acted weakly and suddenly fell. Before he could hit the ground, the city guard caught him.

"Get a doctor here, quickly!" shouted the guard.

The others who saw this scene immediately walked towards the area and helped out.

Shin Jiao decided to feign his fatigue and weakness as he just slept the whole day. He didn't know what he is right now, but he is sure that he is in the city.



The next day, Shin Jiao slowly opens his eyes and noticed the dark brown wooden ceiling. He was a bit surprised to see that he is currently inside a luxurious looking room. As he looks around the room, he can see an incense burner a beautifully decorated room, and a huge bed.

"Where am I? I… didn't expect to really fall asleep…" Shin Jiao chuckled to himself.

It has been a long time since he fell asleep as he would always use his time to either cultivate to regain his vigor or craft things at night. Sleeping has been a bit of a waste of time for him ever since he started to cultivate.

He carefully put on his clothes which is neatly folded on the side of the bed and walked out of the room. As he walked down the corridor he noticed some people at the end.

When his figure appears he saw a group in front of a dining table eating a hearty breakfast.

It was actually Doctor Lianzhi Di and his family who took him in.

Upon seeing him, the people at the table suddenly stopped eating and turn their attention towards him.

"Young Qiong, you're awake… Come, come… have breakfast with us." Doctor Di said with a smile.

Shin Jiao walked towards a vacant seat showing an awkward smile on his face. Before sitting he cupped his hands and said.

"Doctor Di, thank you… thank you for helping me."

"Don't thank me… it was my eldest daughter who brought you in. I was actually surprised that you were able to survive the forest at that dangerous time…" Doctor Di explained.

Shin Jiao's expression showed surprise and looks at the beautiful young woman sitting on the table. She however is looking at him with a haughty look on her face. It's like she is telling him that even though he is sc.u.m, she still compassionate enough to help him.

But the question in his mind is why did she take him to the Di residence and not just leave him in the infirmary?

Suddenly, he saw a young man looking at Shin Jiao with hostility. It was the eldest son of Doctor Lianzhi Di, Bailao Di. He is glaring at him with daggers.

Then he saw a smirk appears on the young woman's face as she chuckled silently.

The gaze of Bailao Di suddenly shifted towards her as he glared at her too.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao knew that he has been used by this young woman in a sibling fight. She used him to annoy her older brother for some matter.

"So, young Qiong, are you planning to go back home?" Doctor Di asked while eating.

Shin Jiao swallowed his food and nodded his head. Though he is unsure if it is right to do this if he does he would be traveling to the capital and be close to the emperor. If he can get a chance, he would be able to search for clues where the entrance to the forbidden forest is.

With that, he would just bite the bullet and continue with his act, for now.
