Her appearance was quite ordinary — the face of someone you'd pass on the street without a second glance. Yet there was something inexplicably mysterious about her.
Her long black hair was coiled neatly atop her head, lending her an air of dignified propriety. At a glance, she possessed a maturity that belied her age.
And even as she spoke, she had already glided gracefully before Chu Feng and Zi Ling.
In her hand she held a single medicinal pill. Rather than pressing it into Zi Ling's mouth, she held the pill against the center of Zi Ling's forehead.
Whoosh— In the next instant, the pill instantly dissolved, transforming into wisps of energy that surged into Zi Ling's body.
"What a remarkable medicinal pill."
Chu Feng stared at the pill with genuine astonishment.
He could sense that after the pill had transformed into energy, it merged directly into Zi Ling's soul. Zi Ling's soul, which had been on the verge of dissipating, actually began to fuse back together.
A single medicinal pill, and Zi Ling — whom Chu Feng had been completely powerless to save — had started to improve.
One could only imagine how extraordinary this pill truly was.
"What a rare, devoted lover."
"It seems I can't just leave you be either, can I?"
As the woman spoke, she produced another pill and pressed it against Chu Feng's forehead.
This pill likewise dissolved into energy and merged into Chu Feng's body. Chu Feng's soul, which had been damaged from his desperate efforts to save Zi Ling, began to repair itself after the pill entered him.
In barely any time at all, it had recovered more than half. Not only was his appearance restored, but before long, his body would make a full recovery as well.
But one had to remember — the forbidden technique Chu Feng had just used was extraordinarily dangerous. 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 measure. Yet that very same damage had healed so quickly.
Even Chu Feng was deeply shaken.
"Such miraculous pills."
"So this... is the Seven Realms Galaxy?"
Chu Feng was a Spirit World Master himself, which meant he understood better than anyone just how powerful these pills were. They must have been crafted by an extraordinarily skilled Spirit World Master.
And this woman, possessing such pills, was certainly no ordinary individual. Though they were of the same generation, she had once again made Chu Feng acutely aware of the gap between them.
Not the gap between himself and this woman — but the gap between the Holy Light Galaxy and the Seven Realms Galaxy.
"Miss, thank you for your help."
"Might I ask your name? Today you have saved us, and I, Chu Feng, will repay this debt in the future."
Chu Feng hurriedly rose to his feet and bowed in gratitude.
"Your name is Chu Feng, is it?"
"That's a fine name."
"And your character is even finer."
"Nowadays, someone with as much devotion as you is truly rare."
"You don't need to thank me, and you don't need to ask who I am."
"I just happened to pass by and couldn't bear to watch two people who love each other so deeply perish here."
"Oh, by the look of your uniforms — you're from the Sleeping Dragon Martial Sect, aren't you?"
The woman asked.
"You... know of the Sleeping Dragon Martial Sect?"
Chu Feng was visibly surprised. To avoid attracting trouble, he and Zi Ling had not only put away their Sleeping Dragon Martial Sect tokens, but had even altered their sect uniforms, concealing all the identifying marks. Yet despite all that, this woman had recognized them as members of the sect at a single glance.
That meant she must be quite familiar with the Sleeping Dragon Martial Sect.
And given that this woman possessed such extraordinary pills, Chu Feng couldn't help but wonder about her connection to the Supreme True Essence. She was very likely a disciple or descendant of the Supreme True Essence.
"Could it be that you know the Supreme True Essence?"
Chu Feng asked.
"The Supreme True Essence?"
"I do indeed know him. But my guess that you're disciples of the Sleeping Dragon Martial Sect has nothing to do with him."
