Her appearance was quite ordinary — a face you'd pass on the street without a second glance — yet she carried an air of mystery about her.
Her long black hair was coiled atop her head, giving her a dignified and proper appearance.
At first glance, she possessed a maturity and composure that belied her age.
And as she spoke, she had already glided over to where Chu Feng and Zi Ling were.
She held a medicinal pill in her hand, but rather than placing it into Zi Ling's mouth, she pressed the pill against the center of Zi Ling's forehead.
Whoosh—
In the next instant, the pill rapidly dissolved, transforming into a stream of energy that surged into Zi Ling's body.
"What an incredible pill."
Looking at the pill, Chu Feng was quite astonished.
He could feel that once the pill had transformed into energy, it merged with Zi Ling's soul.
Zi Ling's soul, which had been on the verge of dissipating, began to reconstitute itself.
With just a single pill, Zi Ling — whom Chu Feng had been completely helpless to save — began to improve.
One could only imagine how powerful this pill truly was.
"What a rare, devoted man."
"It seems I can't just leave you to your fate either."
As she spoke, the woman produced another pill and pressed it against Chu Feng's forehead.
This pill also instantly transformed into energy and merged with Chu Feng's body.
Chu Feng's soul, which had been damaged in his attempt to save Zi Ling, began to repair itself once the pill entered his body.
In a remarkably short time, it had recovered the majority of the damage.
Not only had his appearance been restored, but before long, his body would make a full recovery as well.
However, one had to remember that Chu Feng had just employed an extremely dangerous forbidden technique.
The damage it inflicted on the soul was severe — had it not been for saving Zi Ling, Chu Feng would never have resorted to such a desperate measure.
Yet even such devastating harm had been healed so swiftly.
Even Chu Feng himself was stunned.
"What miraculous pills."
"Could this… be the Seven Realms Heavenly River?"
Chu Feng was a Spirit World Master as well, so he understood better than anyone just how extraordinary these pills were.
They had undoubtedly been refined by an exceptionally powerful Spirit World Master.
And this woman, possessing such pills, was clearly no ordinary individual.
Though they were of the same generation, she made Chu Feng acutely aware of the gap between them once more.
But it wasn't the gap between him and the woman.
It was the gap between the Holy Light Heavenly River and the Seven Realms Heavenly River.
"Miss, thank you."
"May I ask your name? For saving us today, I, Chu Feng, will surely repay this debt in the future."
Chu Feng hurriedly rose to his feet and expressed his gratitude.
"So your name is Chu Feng?"
"That's a fine name."
"Your character is even better."
"Nowadays, a man of such devotion is truly rare."
"You don't need to thank me, nor do you need to ask who I am."
"I just happened to pass by and couldn't bear to watch two people as devoted to each other as you two die here."
"Oh, and judging by your attire, you're from the Wolong Martial Sect, aren't you?"
The woman asked.
"You… know the Wolong Martial Sect?"
Chu Feng was quite surprised.
In order to avoid attracting trouble, Chu Feng and Zi Ling had not only hidden their Wolong Martial Sect identity tokens, but had also modified their disciple uniforms.
All insignia of the Wolong Martial Sect had been concealed.
Yet even so, this woman had been able to identify them as members of the Wolong Martial Sect at a single glance.
This meant she must have been very familiar with the Wolong Martial Sect.
Combined with the fact that she possessed such powerful pills, Chu Feng couldn't help but think about her connection to Supreme Zhenyuan.
She was very likely a disciple or descendant of Supreme Zhenyuan.
"Could it be that you know Supreme Zhenyuan?"
Chu Feng asked.
"Supreme Zhenyuan?"
"I do indeed know him, but my ability to guess that you're disciples of the Wolong Martial Sect has nothing to do with him."
