Chapter 10: What’s wrong with Xenia?
Even though months have passed since I last saw her, she still had the same cute smile, her figure had matured somewhat than before.
"Shenshah, won't you invite me in?"
-Quanzhi spoke softly, there was a little tension on her face.
"Why are you so nervous?"
"Did you forget that when I was in the sect, you and Xenia used to come to my cave to spend your free time. Without your company, I might have died of boredom. You were always very energetic, chirping here and there. So what's with you now?"
-It was a surprise to see Quanzhi since the other party had a great relationship with me, it would be rude to keep her waiting.
I closed the door as I led her to the courtyard.
As we both were seated, Quanzhi quickly opened her mouth,
"I don't have much time."
"You know how rude of you it was to suddenly leave the sect when we were out on the mission."
"After inquiring a lot, I finally managed to find out your whereabouts."
"Xenia kept saying that you were angry with us, therefore didn't meet or send us any letters."
As soon as she mentioned Xenia, her tone became heavy as her expression became saddened.
Seeing her sudden change, I realized that Xenia was indeed not with her. Those two always used to go out together.
I already had a bad premonition in my heart~
'Did something happen to Xenia?'
"Is there something wrong with Xenia?"
-With a slight hesitation, I asked the thought in my mind.
Quanzhi took a heavy breath.
"She.."
"Shenshah, did you remember the last time we invited you to hunt down the foundation-level demonic beast who was spreading menace in the nearby village?"
I nodded, the details of that day were still vivid in my mind.
"We along with senior brother Leon and his friends did manage to ambush that beast but.."
She gave a deep sigh~
"The moment we thought that we were successful, the demonic beast suddenly broke free from its restraints."
"His aura became stronger.it was at that point we realized- it was deliberately hiding its strength to lure all of us at one place."
"Its strength had already entered the early stage of transformation."
"Being caught off guard by its offensive, three members of our team directly lost their lives. We were forced into a life-death battle. Luckily, senior members of our team carried many artifacts and enchantments with them."
"After a gruesome battle, we were finally able to kill that demonic beast but the cost was too heavy. Of the remaining 10 members from our team, 4 more lost their lives as 3 were badly injured."
After speaking, she took a big pause, her head was down.
She remembered the reason Shenshah refused them earlier was with their current realm, this sect mission was too dangerous but at that time they were too overconfident and didn't take his words seriously.
After hearing what happened, I already had a guess regarding Xenia.
'Damn, I already warned them that it was dangerous outside, it's better to cultivate in the sect with a peace of mind instead of running here and there.'
'But nahh, they had to be righteous saying- It's our duty to save the villagers. Now see what happened.'
'If Xenia had died then Quanzhi would have definitely cried at the mere mention of her name, since she only felt saddenedit means that Xenia is only badly injured.'
-I recollected all the information once again.
"Are her injuries heavy?"
-I asked with concern.
"Her meridians were badly damaged..because she was standing in the front, her body was in a mess."
"Even though after rushing to the sect, we used various medicine, the damage was already done."
"Her cultivation base dropped to the seventh stage of Qi-refining and according to the elder, she has no hope to build a foundation in future."
"I see."
-Xenia and Quanzhi were the only ones who used to talk to me in the sect. I felt bad about Xenia's current state. With her talent, entering the foundation realm before 22 years of age was almost a sure thing. Her future potential was enough to make her ascend to the position of a core disciple in no time but all her dreams were shattered in an instant.
I could feel, she must be in a depression right now~
Just as we were discussing, Saharika came from inside the house.
She was waiting for Shenshah on their bed but twenty minutes had passed and there was no sign of him.
So she came out to see what was going on.
"Hmmm"
"Shenshah, who is she?"
Quanzhi, who saw this girl coming out from inside, had question marks.
"Quanzhi, let me introduce you two."
"She is my wife, Saharika."
"Saharika, she is Quanzhi, my sister from the sect."
"Oh!"
"I see so she is Quanzhi."
Saharika was taken aback, she had to admit the beauty of the other party was really eye-catching.
'Are all female cultivators so beautiful?'
-At first, she thought that a vixen had come to steal her husband but when Shensha mentioned her background, the anxiety in her heart finally calmed down.
"Nice to meet you sister Quanzhi."
"Husband used to tell me about his time in the sect. Had you and Xenia not been with him, he would have been bored to death."
"Thanks for taking care of my husband."
-She bowed politely.
At this point, Saharika was no longer a weak and petite girl.
With months of proper nutrition and meticulous care under Shensha, her body had a unique vibe and charm exclusive to a married woman.
"YoYouuu"
"You are married now?"
There was a shock in Quanzhi's eyes.
"Not only are we married, but we are also already expecting our first child."
-Saharika spoke proudly.
In order to confirm her words, she subconsciously stroked her slightly bulging belly.
The love and tenderness in her eyes were overflowing~
Quanzhi felt the girl in front of her was showing off but she couldn't speak anything.
In the sect, countless people used to look at her and Xenia with hot and fierce eyes. All of those arrogant boys wanted to sleep with them, but only Shenshah treated them as a friend. He never looked at them wrongly. His ideas and thinking were much more mature than his current age. They used to discuss various topics with him in their free time.
Unknowingly, they had developed some feelings for him. That's why his sudden departure made them sad.
The boy they had a crush on was no longer there
Had Shenshah known her thoughts, he would have laughed out aloud. It's not like he was not interested in them. Due to his poor talent, his mind was too occupied with the urgency to raise his realm. Once he successfully enters the foundation stage, girls will flock to him anyway.
But now Shenshah is married and is already expecting his first child, hearing these words, Quanzhi was thunderstruck~
