Chapter 203: Carefree Needle and Dust-forgetting Pill
Han Li gave a bitter smile. Although he had dealt with the guys from the Great Sword Sect, there was still a bigger trouble to handle!
The green-clothed girl’s slender, frail body, pale and thin face, and the panic in her eyes all vividly flashed into Han Li’s vision the moment he glanced sideways. It seemed she had been quite frightened.
He didn’t answer the girl’s question. Instead, he bent down to pick up the storage pouch from the burly man’s corpse, then flicked his finger, sending a small fireball to the body, instantly turning it to ashes. Next, he used the Qingning Mirror to absorb the blue radiance that had trapped the Silver Sword and Golden Blades, freeing them, and stored the Greatsword and Golden Blades in the pouch.
Only then did Han Li turn his head and walk toward the girl expressionlessly.
The girl, seeing Han Li truly approaching her, whose face was already pale, grew even paler, instinctively shrinking back several steps in fear.
“What do you want? Come any closer and I won’t be polite!” The green-clothed girl finally mustered courage, reached into her storage pouch, and pulled out a small black sword, pointing it at Han Li.
But Han Li just glanced at it and immediately saw it was merely a trash mid-grade magical artifact. It seemed that yellow silk scarf was the only top-tier magical artifact she possessed!
“Is this how you treat someone who saved your life?” Han Li suddenly rubbed his nose and smiled broadly.
“Saved my life?” The girl was stunned for a moment, confused by the change in Han Li’s expression, seemingly not quite comprehending.
“You really are someone who forgets favors easily! If I hadn’t just stepped in to save you from that man’s sword, why would I bother committing murder to silence witnesses?” Han Li said with a wry smile.
“Oh... I’m really sorry. I just got scared and forgot!” The girl suddenly realized what he meant, blushing deeply as she stammered an explanation, looking helpless and pitiful.
“It’s nothing! It’s actually quite incredible that after meeting once at the Tainan Meeting, we can meet again here!” Han Li waved his hand warmly. For some reason, seeing her shy demeanor made him feel particularly close, as if facing his own little sister.
“I’m Han Li. May I ask your name?” Han Li casually asked.
“I… I’m Han Yunzhi.” After hesitating for a moment, the girl shyly said her name, feeling extremely bashful to reveal it to this young man.
“Han Yunzhi? That’s a very nice name, very fitting for you!” Han Li repeated her name with a light laugh.
“Is that so!” Han Yunzhi’s face flushed again.
“But Han, why did you join Spiritual Beast Mountain and come to participate in the Blood Trial?” Han Li asked with some curiosity.
“Well…” Han Yunzhi’s expression showed difficulty as she hesitated without speaking.
“Hehe! If it’s inconvenient to say, then no need to tell me. I was just asking casually!” Han Li said understandingly, which made Han Yunzhi very grateful.
“By the way, let’s go into the stone house and collect the spirit medicine! It’s better to get it done quickly, so no one else shows up!” After chatting casually for a while, Han Li suddenly said.
Han Yunzhi nodded repeatedly, but then shyly whispered, “Han big brother, could you give me those few Blazing Sun Flowers? I only want those. I won’t take anything else!”
“Of course, no problem. Even if you didn’t say it, I was planning to do exactly that!” Han Li smiled and agreed.
“Thank you so much, Han big brother!” The girl immediately showed joy and gratitude.
“Then, Han Yunzhi, you should go pick the Blazing Sun Flowers first! Don’t let me accidentally take them!” Han Li suggested with a playful smile.
“All right!” The girl agreed, bowed her head in respect, and turned to walk toward the stone house.
But just as she turned around, she suddenly heard Han Li sigh. Then, she felt a sharp pain on the back of her neck, her vision darkened, and she fainted, falling toward the ground. Yet, when only about a foot above the ground, someone caught her from behind.
