Chapter 425: Abandoned Planet
They were panicking. They were really panicking.

Yu Zhao agreed out loud, but her hands did not move any faster.

Sensing something was off, Feng Jiu Si asked in doubt: “Liu Yun, did you not feed the medicine to Tu Xiao?”

Yu Zhao raised her brows.

[They found out this fast?]

[That will not do.]

She quickly said: “I did. But the healing medicine I brought… its effect is not enough.”

At the start, Yu Zhao had not understood what they were planning, so she did not dare to accept their things easily. Only recently, after more contact with them, had she begun to accept their gifts, and even then most of what she took was only for show.

In the eyes of Feng Jiu Si and the other two, she was just a bumpkin from a remote region who did not even know what spirit jade was, so she could not have anything valuable on her.

So the reason she gave would not seem forced to them, only troubling.

When Yu Zhao had not yet woken, they had grumbled that if she had not wanted to ride the starship, they would not have met the Starry Sky Behemoth and suffered this disaster for no reason.

Now they started to complain that she had acted fake and lofty. She had refused to take things when they gave them to her, and that had ended up harming Tu Xiao.

Feng Jiu Si paced back and forth and then came up with an idea.

He said: “Liu Yun, search Tu Xiao and see if he has any pills on him.”

Yu Zhao took this chance to search Tu Xiao from head to toe.

To her surprise, she really did find a few things.

There were seven or eight pieces of close-fitting cloth in different colors and styles, each with a different scent on it.

There were also many scented sachets and pouches that were clearly made by young women.

But there were no healing pills at all.

Also, although Yu Zhao’s searching movements were not exactly rough, they were far from gentle. Tu Xiao’s brows were furrowed into a tight knot, yet he still did not wake up. That alone showed how badly he was hurt.

Yu Zhao put everything back exactly where it had been and looked at him with cold eyes.

At first she had only wanted to use this chance to drive a wedge between Tu Xiao and the other three, but now she had thought of a better way.

Feng Jiu Si’s voice came over again as he said: “Liu Yun, you must take good care of Tu Xiao. Whether we can get back soon or not still depends on him.”

Right now they were trapped inside the starship. Other than Tu Xiao, the master, no one could open the starship’s entrance, so they simply could not escape.

But even if they could get out, they would not dare to act rashly.

First, they did not know if another Starry Sky Behemoth might appear nearby. Second, the starship had left its original route and drifted to who knew where. In the starry sky, Starry Sky Behemoths were not the only danger.

If they left the starship and got dragged into a black hole or fell into a spatial rift, they would only die faster. Staying inside the starship was safer.

For now, they still had to wait for Tu Xiao to wake up. Only after he woke up could many problems be solved.

Yu Zhao answered: “I know. I will definitely take good care of him.”

Yu Zhao put extra weight on the words “take good care”, but none of the three heard the hidden meaning. They even kept thanking her.

Yu Zhao smiled, sat down cross-legged, and formed a hand seal with both hands. Her soul force surged.

Soon, a multicolored mark formed in her palm. It shone with different colors of light and looked almost dreamy.

Without any hesitation, she slapped the mark onto the center of Tu Xiao’s brows.

The mark flashed once, then drilled into Tu Xiao’s sea of consciousness. The tight frown on his face relaxed a little at once.

[It works!]

Yu Zhao’s eyes lit up, and she glanced once more in Feng Jiu Si’s direction.

Right now they were all hoping for Tu Xiao to wake up. She wondered if they would still be able to smile on the day he finally did.

After all, Tu Xiao was a Divine Transformation cultivator. Even without strong pills, his tough body made it through the hardest time, and his condition improved a little more each day.

Yu Zhao did not know exactly when he would wake up, so each day she sent a little bit of medicinal powder into his mouth. The dose was not large, but it made sure there was always a bit of drug effect left in his body.

At last, fifteen days later, after Yu Zhao sent another multicolored mark into his sea of consciousness, Tu Xiao’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened without warning.

A cold, gloomy light flashed quickly through his eyes.

He looked around warily until he saw Yu Zhao’s worried face. The memories he had forgotten surfaced in his mind at once.

After he understood their current situation, his body relaxed a little, but his gaze toward Yu Zhao was still ice-cold.

Yu Zhao called out toward the other side with delight: “Young Master Feng, Young Master Tu is awake!”

Feng Jiu Si and the other two were overjoyed and quickly asked about Tu Xiao’s condition.

When facing Yu Zhao, Tu Xiao’s face was full of coldness, but when he spoke with Feng Jiu Si and the other two, his expression softened and his tone became much warmer.

The corners of Yu Zhao’s lips rose by a tiny amount.

[It seems he is quite pleased with my gift.]

After waking up, Tu Xiao could freely use the things in his storage space, and his recovery speed increased at once.

In less than a day, he rebuilt his connection with the starship. But since there were no clear markers nearby, even as the starship’s master he had no idea where they had drifted to. He could only control the folded starship to wander through the vast starry sky and look for a place to land.

During this time, Tu Xiao’s attitude toward Yu Zhao was very cold. It seemed he blamed all his injuries on her. Even when she did nothing, she would still get his looks of disgust and contempt.

Although Feng Jiu Si and the other two could not see what was happening on their side, they could still guess from the sounds.

At first, the three of them were surprised by Tu Xiao’s change. But when they thought about how this disaster had been caused by Yu Zhao and how Tu Xiao had almost lost his life because of it, they felt it was understandable for him to resent her.

The three of them instantly took it as Tu Xiao voluntarily dropping out of their bet, and so they unconsciously ignored the strange things about him.

One day, the starship finally found a small, abandoned planet.

Even though it was completely barren and the spiritual energy there was very thin, it was still the only planet they had come across in a long time.

After asking for Feng Jiu Si and the others’ opinions, Tu Xiao impatiently controlled the starship to land on the abandoned planet and opened one of its exits in one move.

When Master Wu Zhi Zi forged the starship, he had probably thought of all kinds of emergencies they might face, so he set up many exits on the ship. There was no need to worry about getting stuck inside and being unable to escape.

Tu Xiao, Feng Jiu Si, and the others jumped out of the starship one after another.

Huo Shao Yan showed his friendly spirit and circled around Tu Xiao.

Feng Jiu Si and Shui Qiu Bai, however, went straight to another exit and reached out their hands at the same time.

Yu Zhao, who had been about to come out from inside, froze on the spot.

When Huo Shao Yan saw this, his eyes rolled and he also showed a look of eager interest.

Right then, a cold snort came from beside him.

He turned his head and saw Tu Xiao glaring at Yu Zhao with a face full of hatred, cursing in a low voice: “Vile woman!”

Huo Shao Yan scratched his head.

For some reason, he felt that Tu Xiao’s expression looked a bit strange. It gave him a sense of déjà vu.
