Chapter 551 - I Will Accompany You and Protect You

Di Beiming walked out of the room and said to Elder Qi, “Elder Qi, I’ll return to the Tianyuan continent to look for my master. Best case scenario is that I can find him. If I can’t find him, I will return in two days. When the time comes, please take out Little Jiu’s Dantian! Although cultivation is important, it is more important to protect Little Jiu’s life. I will find a way to reconstruct her Dantian.”

Elder Qi nodded. “Young Master Di, don’t be too sad. Little Jiu has the heavens on her side. Maybe things will turn for the better.”

Di Beiming nodded and immediately returned to the Tianyuan continent on a flying spirit tool to look for his master—the Old Man of Lake Tianchi. The Old Man of Lake Tianchi did not have a fixed residence. He should be in seclusion somewhere. Di Beiming had sent him a voice transmission talisman the last time, but there was no reply.

Di Beiming knew that the chances of finding the old man were very low, but he had to give it a try even if it was only a one in ten thousand success rate!

It was not that Di Beiming had not thought of looking for other mighty figures in the Tianyuan continent to treat Yun Chujiu. Firstly, Yun Chujiu’s spiritual power was low and she could not enter the Tianyuan continent. Secondly, those mighty figures did not have permanent abodes and he could not find them in a short period of time. Thirdly, Yun Chujiu had too many secrets. If he was not careful, not only would he not be able to treat her, but he would also invite trouble.

Di Beiming traveled day and night, pushing the speed of his flying spirit tool to its limit. He and his subordinates went to a few places that the Old Man might have gone to, but they still could not find his whereabouts.

Even though Di Beiming was mentally prepared, he still felt disheartened. Although he had the Dantian reconstruction technique, the technique was difficult to execute. On top of that, even if he succeeded, the reconstructed Dantian would be extremely fragile. If he was not careful, it would shatter again. If he was truly careless, he might even lose his life.

Di Beiming returned to Spirit Radiance Sect. When Elder Qi and the others saw Di Beiming’s expression, they knew that he had returned empty-handed. Elder Qi sighed, “Young Master Di, this is Little Jiu’s fate. Don’t be too sad.”

Di Beiming had not a drop of water for two days and two nights. He looked haggard and asked in a hoarse voice, “How is Little Jiu?”

“I’m afraid she won’t last until tomorrow morning! Young Master Di, I’ve already prepared the tools and pills to cut her abdomen open and remove her dantian. Go in and take a look at Little Jiu. Let’s hurry up!” Although Elder Qi knew that taking out her Dantian was the last resort, if she did not have her Dantian removed immediately, Little Jiu might really lose her life.

Di Beiming entered the room and saw Yun Chujiu lying in bed lifelessly. If it was not for the slight rise and fall of her chest, she would have been no different from a dead person.

Di Beiming knelt by the bed and grabbed Yun Chujiu’s hand as tears fell. “Little Jiu, it’s my fault. I couldn’t find my master. I couldn’t protect your Dantian. If you woke up and found yourself a cripple, you would definitely blame me, right?!

“However, I can’t just watch you die. Even if there was a chance of survival, I would want you to survive! Don’t worry, I will accompany you to find my master to rebuild your Dantian and search for all the heavenly and earthly treasures that can prolong your life. From now on, you don’t have to work hard to cultivate. I will accompany you and protect you. Don’t you like reading storybooks? I will get someone to buy all the storybooks. I will accompany you to read them, okay?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Di Beiming really hoped that Yun Chujiu would open her eyes then and say to him with a smile, “Don’t go back on your words!” However, Yun Chujiu laid there without any vitality, as if she had fallen into deep sleep forever...
