"This guy, he isn't going to wake up, is he?" Feng Bai Jiu kept glancing at the bamboo house, then listlessly cupped her head and looked at the small stove in front of her.
"Ahem..."
Just then, a light cough suddenly sounded. Feng Bai Jiu, who was squatting by the small stove outside, blowing on the fire, her eyes lit up at the sound. She immediately stood up and rushed towards the bamboo house.
"You're awake?" Feng Bai Jiu looked at the man on the bed and asked with a surprised expression.
Although the man on the bed was extremely pale, it did not hide his compelling aura. Even though Feng Bai Jiu had seen many handsome men, none had been as unrestrained as the one before her.
"Ahem... Where am I?" The man coughed lightly again, opened his eyes, glanced around, and then looked at Feng Bai Jiu and asked.
"This is the territory of our Feng clan. To be precise, it's our Feng clan's rear mountain villa. Uncle Xu said you might not wake up, but I didn't expect you to wake up today. By the way, how are you feeling?" Feng Bai Jiu immediately explained upon hearing this.
"You saved me?" The man nodded slightly upon hearing this, then looked at Bai Feng Jiu and asked.
Bai Feng Jiu pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It can't be said that I saved you. That day, I saw you collapse in the stream, and Uncle Xu and I went over when we heard the commotion. In the end, it was Uncle Xu who carried you back."
"Thus, you saved me as well. Thank you." The man nodded to Bai Feng Jiu, then slowly closed his eyes again.
"Hey, you... what's wrong?" Feng Bai Jiu became anxious and looked at the man. As if afraid the man would never wake up again, she quickly said, "Um, what's your name? If you die, I'll erect a tombstone for you."
"Ahem... I, I'm a little tired, I'll rest for a while."
"Also, my name is Li Xuan."
...
A month later, Li Xuan, who had been relying on Feng Bai Jiu's care, finally got out of bed.
Feeling the warmth of the sunlight, Li Xuan looked at Feng Bai Jiu with gratitude in his eyes.
It turned out that when Li Xuan had fled rapidly earlier, even with his full strength, he could not outrun the Giant Ape Beast King, who was familiar with the area and extremely fast. After being caught up, Li Xuan had no choice but to fight it. The final result was that both of them were injured.
And Li Xuan, under that final blow, was sent by the recoil force into the mountain stream.
"Miss Feng, do you know how long I was unconscious?" After enjoying the moment, Li Xuan then looked at Feng Bai Jiu beside him and asked.
During these days, Li Xuan had also learned about Feng Bai Jiu's family through continuous conversations. At the same time, he understood where he was.
This place was the Beast Domain, one of the nine domains of the Great Thousand World.
And Feng Bai Jiu was one of the few remaining members of the Feng clan in the Beast Domain.
Besides them, the Dragon clan also coexisted with the Feng clan in the Beast Domain.
Although the Dragon and Feng clans were human, they also possessed beast bloodlines. The purer the bloodline, the greater the chance of reaching the Ancestral Return realm. In the entire Beast Domain, beasts naturally occupied more than half of the area. If the patriarchs of the Dragon and Feng clans were not immensely powerful, they would probably not be able to maintain the human territories.
Of course, all of this was learned by Li Xuan from the Heavenly Dao Pen after he woke up. Li Xuan did not know about the other abilities of the Heavenly Dao Pen yet, but he understood the information about these world continents better than most people.
"You, ever since Uncle Xu carried you back, you've been unconscious for more than three months. But speaking of which, your body is quite resilient. You could actually endure a blow from the Giant Ape Beast King and recover. By the way, you still haven't told me which clan you belong to?"
Feng Bai Jiu rolled her eyes at this. This guy seemed to know nothing. However, considering Li Xuan was injured, Feng Bai Jiu still spoke again.
Li Xuan smiled wryly. He obviously did not expect to suffer such a heavy blow upon arriving in the Great Thousand World. He had even been unconscious for over three months because of it.
However, Li Xuan understood Feng Bai Jiu's guess. In the Beast Domain, there were twelve Beast Kings, and humans also had twelve clans. Although they seemed to be the same in number, humans were far fewer in quantity.
Without exception, the bodies of all twelve human clans were extremely powerful. According to Li Xuan's speculation, it might be related to their beast bloodlines. It was even vaguely discernible that these twelve human clans were probably not purely human.
"Um, I'm actually not from the Beast Domain..." Li Xuan did not choose to hide anything from Feng Bai Jiu.
After all, if Feng Bai Jiu had not taken Li Xuan away from that forest, in his heavily injured and unconscious state, he would most likely have been devoured by other wild beasts.
"You're actually from another domain? Quickly tell me, how did you cross the Endless Desert?"
Before Li Xuan could reveal his origin, Feng Bai Jiu directly asked, her expression showing surprise.
Li Xuan couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head. From their conversations over the past month, Li Xuan naturally knew that it was not easy to enter between the nine domains. Although there were passages, only powerful beings could do so.
And the place where Li Xuan was initially dropped by the guiding light was precisely the Endless Desert of the Beast Domain.
No one knew the true extent of the Endless Desert. The only ones who had managed to cross this desert were the patriarchs of the Dragon and Feng clans.
As for that forest, it was the Abyss Forest, the largest in the Beast Domain.
"I am not from the Beast Domain, nor am I from any of the other eight domains. I am from the Hunyuan Continent..." Li Xuan withdrew his thoughts, then looked into the distance and slowly told Feng Bai Jiu about his origin.
"Hunyuan Continent? But what you said about being dropped in the Endless Desert by some guiding light is a bit strange. So, you also reached the Dao Origin realm? But your cultivation seems to have been completely crippled."
After listening to Li Xuan's account, Bai Feng Jiu looked at Li Xuan with some surprise and said.
"It's not entirely crippled, just temporarily lost my cultivation." Li Xuan nodded slightly. Li Xuan was very clear about his injuries.
In the battle with the Giant Ape Beast King, Li Xuan had fought with all his might, and also temporarily lost his cultivation. As for how his cultivation would recover, it would probably have to wait until Li Xuan's body was completely healed.
"Then, like this, when will you be able to recover? I've heard that cultivators from outside the domain are all exceptionally talented beings." Feng Bai Jiu said as if she had thought of something.
"Based on the current situation, it will probably take some time." Li Xuan said after a moment of silence.
"It's okay, as long as you're alive, this cultivation can be recovered sooner or later. Alright, I won't disturb your rest anymore. Call me anytime if you need anything." Feng Bai Jiu asked as she got up.
"Thank you, Miss Feng." Li Xuan nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome." Feng Bai Jiu smiled, then turned and left.
As Feng Bai Jiu left, Li Xuan slowly closed his eyes.
He had ultimately underestimated the strength of the Giant Ape Beast King.
