667 The Whole Story

Xue Fanxin ignored them. “Heiyue, what’s going on? Do you have a grudge against those people? Are Little Jiu’s injuries related to them?”

“Your Highness, Little Jiu’s injuries were indeed caused by them. They are disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and half of them are water cultivators. Many people here ask them for water to drink. Ten days ago, when we were doing the same, we had a conflict with them, and a fight broke out.”

“What happened after that? With your ability, the other party can’t take advantage of you, right?” Xue Fanxin could roughly guess what had happened.

There were so many people here who needed help from the Heavenly Spirit Sect. With a word from them, most of them would be happy to lend a hand.

It seemed like Heiyue and the others had been beaten up by a group.

“The people from the Heavenly Spirit Sect are naturally not our match, but they used water as a reward and invited external help. There are only six of us, so it’s difficult to fight against so many. Little Jiu even suffered from Old Man Yin Feng’s poisonous palm in order to save me. If not for the fact that the few of us are strong enough and they were unwilling to pay a heavy price to kill us, how could we have survived until now? However, they want to kill us with thirst. Over the past ten days, no water cultivator has provided us with water. They plan to use this method to kill us.”

They were cultivators and would not starve to death if they did not eat for ten days or half a month. However, in such a dry desert, not drinking water for a few days was quite uncomfortable. If they were injured, they would not be able to bear the pain of lacking water.

As Little Jiu was injured, everyone left the little water they had for him. The others had not drunk water for ten days.

If the consort and the others had not rushed over today, someone on their side would have died of thirst in less than two days.

Fortunately, the heavens were watching. The consort, Heiyao, and Heiran were here. Everyone had water to drink.

“Did you suffer a lot of humiliation when you begged the Heavenly Spirit Sect for water?” Even if Heiyue had not said this, Xue Fanxin could guess.

She knew at a glance that those people were not good people. How could such scum easily give water to others?

Heiyue lowered her head in shame. “I was useless. Not only can I not save our brothers, but I also made everyone suffer.”

Xue Fanxin gently patted Heiyue’s shoulder and comforted her. “Alright, alright! This is all in the past. I’ll help you get back at them later.”

“Your Highness…” Heiyue had been holding on all this time. Actually, her heart was already weak. Hearing Xue Fanxin’s words, her eyes were sore and filled with tears.

How could she not want someone to support her? After all, she was about to collapse. Once she did, her brothers would follow suit.

At the thought of her companions who had gone through life-and-death situations with her for years, her heart really hurt.

She had to bear with it no matter how tired and bitter she was. She was determined not to collapse.

But she was really, really tired.

“We’re here. Everything will be fine. Believe me, I’ll definitely get everyone out of here alive.”

A sinister voice suddenly sounded. “What shameless boasting. Aren’t you afraid of hurting your tongue?”
