After they arrive at a safe distance in the unsafe forest using Star Shadow Steps, Sheng Tian put down the beauty in his bosom onto a cushion like large bush plant nearby. He too laid down next to her on it.

Sheng Tian learned an easy lesson of being careful during the battle in a hard way. He already wanted to go kick that Bastard to oblivion but he didn't let his anger get to his head.

When he was rescuing Leng Yue Yan, he had to cover for her and received some nice cooling Icicle attacks on his back. They are trying to freeze his body using the chilling Ice Profound Energy. But is he so weak? His body already started suppressing the Ice Profound Energy which is without a power source and started devouring it.

Now, The first thing on his mind is to recover. He had some recovery pills but the effect takes some time and he wasn't sure of the type of recovery pills she had. Then he remembered the Orange colored fruit. When Qin Qing told him about them, she said that the recovery is almost instantaneous if there are no fatal injuries.

Sheng Tian felt at peace as he remembered that but when he looked at Leng Yue Yan next to him, he felt a bit doubtful of this method.

But nonetheless, he took out the tiny orange colored spirit fruit and ate it. It tasted bitter but it spread a cool yet warm sensation in his body as his wounds which were already healing rapidly due to his physique started healing at an alarming rate. After a minute, not even a cut remained on his body.

Right after he took another fruit for her, he looked at the Ice Goddess. But he didn't know how to feed her the Spirit fruit. If it was before he might have tried something naughty, but now he simply didn't want any ambiguities.

Then he thought of something and felt like smacking his head. He placed his hand on her wrist and used 'Primal Origin Tree' in his dantian to gather the energy from the surroundings and convert it to vitality and heal her wounds both serious and light.

This was one of the properties of the Primal Origin Tree, it can supply vitality by absorbing energy. This property would automatically kick into action when his condition is serious otherwise he had to do it voluntarily. Since it was a bit tiring for him to control it, he generally didn't use it. But now that the need arose, he used this 'cheat' of his.

Thinking till there Sheng Tian felt a sense of frustration as he had no guide to use these so-called 'cheats' of his. The Primordial Origin Sacred Scripture had some lines unreadable to him on the first page itself and he couldn't even the second page whenever he tried. And he knew that something happened to his soul but didn't know what exactly. Finally, the Primal Origin Tree also had no information about it.

Hell, if he didn't read some cultivation novels with world trees in it, it might have taken years before he figured it out how to use it. And even Dragon Physique's properties are kept hidden from him by those Old Foxes. What were they even thinking? They didn't want him to get a heart stroke due to over hype, did they?


Thinking of all these things, he let out a sigh which looked a bit pitiful, a bit desolate. When he looked down, the complexion of the Ice Beauty was finally getting a bit better, she was already in a semi-conscious state. Her wounds were closed and they started healing rapidly. She tried to struggle out from his hand which was holding her wrist, she instantly used her arts and the temperature in the area suddenly dropped as the area became chilling. Since she was very weak with injuries, her power is very low but still, this temperature is not something where people can carefully work in. Nevertheless, Sheng Tian didn't even budge and continued with his thing without a change in expression. She tried to get up but Sheng Tian didn't let her and held her down.

She didn't speak, only looked at his eyes which were only looking at the distance treating as if she was not present but his hand never stopped healing her.

She didn't know why, but Leng Yue Yan felt that Sheng Tian was trying to avoid her. It was a faint thought at first but she felt that it was more and more possible as time passed on. The author can only give credit to her 'woman's intuition' for this.

After finishing healing her injuries which might have taken a good deal of pills and a sizable amount of time in a bare ten minutes and almost no physical cost, Leng Yue Yan was amazed at Sheng Tian as he got off and stared into the distance with the Jade Seals in his hand.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lian woke up from meditation in the Snow Glazing Lotus the moment Leng Yue Yan arrived next to Sheng Tian during the fight earlier. She had been observing her every facial expression, her every Body moment right from then.

Now, Sheng Tian used a secret of his to heal her. She wanted to tell him to stop but in the end, she didn't. Xiao Lian concluded that two possible outcomes where Leng Yue Yan might think that this is a secret art which needs a price to pay and ask him to teach it or forget it if he rejected or in the best case, never ask about it. Or, She might get greedy concluding that this is a secret art or a secret treasure and covet it. She might try to obtain it now or she might use other methods by making Sheng Tian hunted by Sects by releasing this information to get her hands on it.

But in any of the case in the second outcome, She would not be able to hide her greed that would shine in her eyes from Xiao Lian's keen divine sense. Xiao Lian decided that the moment this girl became greedy, it would be her end. Even if Sheng Tian would be upset by her action, she is ready to take the blame. Because she is not ready to see her beloved be betrayed by someone.

She knew the pain betrayal causes and wished for Sheng Tian to never go through it. From her actions, it is easy to see that Xiao Lian is extremely protective of Sheng Tian and it is also partly a reason she is asking him to not chase any woman for the time being.

Seeing that there is no greed on the girl's face, Xiao Lian relaxed a little but didn't shift her gaze and continued to observe her meticulously.

From the glowing intensities of Jade Seals, Sheng Tian pretty much determined everyone's direction. The static one as the center of the forest and the ones changing directions as participants.

The Forest of Bones is in the shape of a circle. There is a thick boundary made of different kinds of Tree monsters and plant monsters. So, if one wanted to go to the other side of the wall, the only way is to go through the wall as no one would want to go through the center. But it is very hard.

That means basically even if a participant carrying a Jade Seal is detected is found on the other side of the wall (or center), they could do nothing about except hoping to catch them in the final test place, the Chamber of Inheritance.

Every one of their opponents thought that Sheng Tian was using 'Teleportation Token' to teleport. As a teleport token teleport range starts from kilometers, others could very well believe that Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan were transported to the other side of the forest, because the Jade Tokens only have the ability to detect the direction and are distance independent meaning there would be same glow even if the person having Jade Seals is 1 km away or 10 km away as long they are in the detection range. (Chapter 68)

So, with this simple logic, they definitely won't be able to detect them as the participants are always transported at one side of the wall when they are teleported here. But when one uses a teleportation token, it is very much possible that they are now teleported to the other side of the wall.

So, instead of wasting time and taking gambles, a practical decision would be to let the two day time period pass as they accumulate as many Spirit fruits as they can then leisurely snatching the Jade Seals once they get to the Chamber of Inheritance. From Sheng Tian's understanding of Qin Cheng, he would definitely do that.

So, he didn't need to worry about anything but just get the three Jade Seals from the center of the Forest.

***

Qin Cheng and the others were shocked because teleportation tokens are very rare. Having one such token would basically mean having a second life. It is very precious. But they didn't know that it was just Sheng Tian using Star Shadow Steps which would turn him invisible and undetectable from spirit sense for a few moments.

Since Sheng Tian didn't want anyone to know of his Moment Technique, he used the teleportation token as a cover-up which worked well. No one even suspected that it could be a moment technique.

Meanwhile, Qin Qing felt that they might be teleported to the other half and ordered his group to search for the existing Jade seals if any and collect as many Spirit Fruits as possible.

Surprisingly, Qin Li's group escaped when Qin Cheng's group is fighting with Sheng Tian and the Ice Goddess.

***

Sheng Tian didn't even speak to Leng Yue Yan and just headed in the direction of the center of the Forest.

Leng Yue Yan got up after he left. She stared at his receding back and somehow felt a sting in her heart. She didn't feel any strong emotions nor did she have any special feelings popped out. She just felt a little grateful and also a little angry at him.

Grateful because he saved her and healed her without taking any advantage of her when she is powerless. Angry because she felt he was seeing her as thin air and literally trying to keep distance. And for him hugging her. Who gave him permission to do so? And yet how can he act as if nothing happened and that he is a gentleman? These contrasting emotions created subtle yet profound ripples in her heart which was always like a Frozen lake.

'You not only touched me but also hugged me. You took advantage of me. You didn't even allow me to get up. And yet you act as nothing happened and just leave. Who do you think you are? You are the first man to touch and hug me and you just shrug it off?' Leng Yue Yan thought with anger as she felt his actions irresponsible, disrespectful and dishonorable.

But when she finished scolding him, she was totally shocked. It was the first time a man could create emotions in her cold heart. She even went as far as to scold him in her head. What is going on? Except for her 'friend', no one else could cause her to feel emotions. Yet now her emotions were swayed just like that? Leng Yue Yan stood there in a daze.

But she didn't want to have a male friend as it might bring disastrous consequences to him. Yet she couldn't help the curiosity, interest, and the slight emotions in her. The internal conflict ended as she decided on something.

While her pride and arrogance didn't allow her to ask Sheng Tian to go with him, She decided to go where he was going, the center, by herself telling herself that she wasn't following him and was going on her on.
