The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1306

…

The woman is severely injured and it seems that most of her bones are broken and her internal organs damaged. He quickly injected her, with a healing serum, for her internal organs. Then he began to align her bones and put a cast on her arm and legs before injecting her, with another healing serum.

After saving the woman, Xin Ja gathered the things which are useful, especially the food and the equipment, and then gathered the corpses in body bags.

He put them inside his ring in the meantime.

He then created a cave at the side of the mountain and created protective and camouflage arrays on its mouth.

After that, she carefully puts the woman inside the cave and observes her condition.

Xin Ja is a bit relieved that the woman is awake now.

But what made Xin Ja curious and at the same time afraid is the true power of this woman.

From the battle he had seen, he could tell that this woman is actually very strong at the level of a Ki Champion. If he is right that he is already a Ki Master, then this woman is one realm higher than him in strength.

Plus her flame ability is actually very intense.

Xin Ja knew that if he is hit by the flame of this woman, then he would immediately be turned into dust even with his unique abilities.

But of course, that is only if he did not progress and reach the middle stages.

While he was thinking thus far, he suddenly hears the woman moaning. She seems to be having a nightmare.

So he tried waking her up as a reflex.

When the woman woke up, he quickly noticed her light blue eyes akin to the light blue sky.

Her silver hair seems unnatural as he noticed some tinge of red at the tip of her scalp.

He began explaining to her what happened and she just quietly listened.

The woman is not talkative and did not even introduce her name, so Xin Ja could only call her... miss.

…

The next day…

Xin Ja walked out of the cave to hunt while he is away, Chloe forced herself to stand but she was unable to move as her body is assaulted with pain.

She could only helplessly grit her teeth and lay down in bed.

The room she is in right now is clearly a man-made cave, and the portable light in it seems to be the one from her team.

She could see other stuff inside the room especially the bags that her group was carrying. She knew that the food and their provision are inside those things.

She tried to once again use her power, but the pain in her mind and body would not permit her.

She could only heave a helpless sigh and believe that guy of her circumstance.

It was already late in the afternoon when that young man arrives. And she could hear him working outside the room.

It seems that he is butchering something outside.

When she heard the sound of meat and bones being sliced, her eyes suddenly turned grave.

Who did not know that not all the beasts in the wilderness could be eaten as many of those beasts have been demonized?

Is he trying to kill her?

But she shook her head in that notion. This is because, if this guy is truly trying to kill her, then he would not have rescued her, right?

Not long later, her senses were assaulted by the delicious aroma of the food being prepared outside. This time, her expression sank.

Who did not know that cooking such delicious food would attract more beasts to their location, is this guy an idiot or what?

As she began to scold the guy in her mind, she suddenly stopped as she could not deny the delicious aroma assaulting her nose.

While she was in a stupor and enjoying the smell of the scrumptious food, her stomach suddenly rumbles. This made her woke from her imaginings and her face subconsciously blushed.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in…" she answered unconsciously.

Xin Ja slowly opened the thin door and brought with him a bowl of piping hot soup.

"You need to quickly gain your Ki energy… so I prepare you a soup that is rich in Ki…" Xin Ja explained as he carefully put the bowl on the stone table beside her bed.

He takes out a separate bowl and filled it with broth and some meat.

Xin Ja tasted the meat and the broth which made Chloe subconsciously licks her lips.

Seeing that nothing had happened to Xin Ja, Chloe frowned.

"I know how to prepare demonized meat for consumption… It is not as potent as the normal meat, but it would be edible for normal people…" he explained.

Chloe showed a surprised look on her face as realization dawned on her.

She did not hesitate to take a sip of the broth which gave her a warm feeling inside her body. She could say that taking a sip of the broth almost made her moan as energy coursed through her veins.

She knew that what this person tells her is the truth.

So she began eating the meat and soon finished her meal.

"In about 2 days, your wounds would be fine… So hold on in there, okay?" Xin Ja then puts a jug of water on the side of the stone table.

After Xin Ja left, Chloe's eyes showed a complicated look on her face.

She did not know what she wanted to do right now. Her mind is feeling a bit confused because of the overlapping situation she is in.

In fact, when she saw the handsome face of that guy, she did not recognize him immediately. However, after trying to think, she immediately recognized that this guy is the one who killed her disciple.

A slight killing intent appears in her eyes but when she tried to gather her energy she was only assaulted by pain.

However, when she came to her senses, she realized that the guy actually saved him.

He might have killed her disciple, he might have escaped the union, and she hunted him for that. But in the end, she was still saved by him.

Now she is having a complicated feeling deep in her heart.

She likes her disciple Leo Carbin because he is really caring towards her and seems to pamper her. People often suspect that the two have an ambiguous relationship, but to her, she only treats him as her little brother.

So when he died, she was really angry and wanted to kill the person that killed her little brother.

But who would have known that things would turn out to be complicated?

She could not help but shake her head as she lies calmly on the bed.

The next day…

Xin Ja once again feeds her a highly nutritious meal.

But that day, before going outside, he checked her condition.

"Tomorrow, you will be fine… You can finally use your powers…" he said after he carefully checked her condition.

"You can also remove this cast tomorrow…" he added.

"I need to go out tonight… so if I'm not back tomorrow, I think you can already prepare your own meals, at that time so feel free to get some from there…" Xin Ja pointed at the corner.

"Where are you going?" she suddenly asked.

Xin Ja could not help but heave a sigh as this woman's words are truly… expensive.

"There is something I must do…" Xin Ja did not elaborate.

As he left the cave, Chloe closes her eyes but could not sleep.

She opened her eyes and then shifted her body to the side as she wanted to drink some water.

When she lifted the water jug, she noticed a container on the side with a note on it. She quickly grabs the note and reads it.

"This will help you heal faster… I did not give this to you before as your body is a bit weak. But I think now, it's okay to take it."

She grabbed the pill bottle with a single pinky-sized pill inside.

She hesitated for a moment and then takes it.

After that, she observed her body but felt nothing.

She shrugged her shoulder and was about to return to bed when she suddenly froze.

Then her eyes went wide as she feels a strong heat coursing through her body. She suddenly feels like her body is being burned from inside.

But after a few seconds, the pain went away as a familiar warm feeling enveloped her body. She suddenly feels the sensation coming back to her right arm and both of her legs.

After that, she could feel her power coming back to her as the pain in her mind and body did not happen.

She clenches her fist and a smile appears on her small mouth.

"So this is the reason why he waited before giving me the pill. Plus he escaped because he fears me? Wait a minute… did that guy recognize me?" she muttered.

But then she shook her head as no trainee could ever recognize her true face in the Union.

Upon thinking to this point, she could only show a crafty smile as her eyes turned sharp.

"What a crafty little fellow…" she muttered to herself.
