"You're awake."

Seeing Wang Ruoxie awakened, Qingxue's eyes revealed a joyful expression as she spoke.

"Yes, thank you both for rescuing me."

Wang Ruoxie smiled lightly and nodded.

Although even without the rescue of these two women, he could wake up on his own, nevertheless, they saved him a lot of trouble.

Moreover, he could feel the surging medicinal power within his body that had not been fully refined yet. Based on his understanding of pills, he instantly theorized that the two women must have fed him a Six Yang Returning Essence Pill.

The Six Yang Returning Essence Pill is one of the most precious pills among the Fifth Grade pills, and even rivals some Sixth Grade pills in terms of healing capabilities.

The fact that these two women were willing to use such a precious pill on a complete stranger like him indicates that they are kind-hearted individuals.

"No need to thank us. Meeting you in this vast wilderness is a kind of fate."

Qiuling smiled sweetly at Wang Ruoxie and spoke.

"Great kindness doesn't require words of thanks. You've saved me today; I will surely repay you with a surprise someday."

Wang Ruoxie looked at Qiuling with solemn eyes and said earnestly.

He could naturally tell at a glance that Qiuling's body seemed peculiar, not merely due to injury or a common illness.

Although he can't determine exactly what's wrong with Qiuling's body at the moment, he believes that given time, he will figure it out and help Qiuling solve it completely.

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Qiuling and Qingxue just smiled without saying much.

To them, Wang Ruoxie seems to be an ordinary person with no cultivation, while they are strong Martial Cultivators.

The gap between ordinary people and Martial Cultivators could be described as vast as heaven and earth, to the point that they are practically from two different worlds with virtually no intersection.

Hence, they merely regarded Wang Ruoxie's words as expressions of gratitude without truly believing he could bring them any surprises.

"My name is Su Qingxue, she's my cousin, Su Qiuling. What's your name?"

Qingxue's lively eyes looked at Wang Ruoxie as she spoke.

"Wang Ruoxie."

Wang Ruoxie smiled and responded.

"Wang Ruoxie? What a peculiar name."

Su Qingxue shrugged her nose and muttered.

"Wang Ruoxie, as an ordinary person with no cultivation, why are you in the Endless Wilderness, and how did you end up seriously injured?"

Su Qiuling slightly glanced at Su Qingxue before asking Wang Ruoxie.

"An ordinary person with no cultivation?"

Wang Ruoxie was slightly stunned at her words, then secretly smiled with a hint of bitterness.

Currently, indeed, he has no cultivation at all, having twice employed the Blood Fusion Forbidden Technique, which reduced his bloodline by two minor layers, from Celestial Level Ninth Grade to Celestial Level Seventh Grade. His cultivation might take a long time to recover.

However, if he obtains Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of a high enough grade, he can still recover his cultivation in a short time.

Nevertheless, unless he enters a Secret Realm comparable to or better than the Black Tortoise Secret Realm, it's almost impossible to obtain such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"I'm not an ordinary person without cultivation. It's just that after a fight, I was heavily injured, so I temporarily lost my cultivation."

Wang Ruoxie didn't hide the truth and spoke to Su Qiuling and Su Qingxue.

"Then, are you saying the corpse near where you were found is the person you killed?"

An unusual look flashed in Su Qiuling's eyes as she addressed Wang Ruoxie.

"Yes, he wanted to kill me, so I had no choice but to kill him."

Wang Ruoxie nodded slightly and spoke.

Towards Ling Liang, he felt no hatred, only a sense of mutual appreciation. Regrettably, they couldn't coexist in the world; it was either Ling Liang killed him, or he had to kill the adversary.

"Was he your enemy then?"

Su Qingxue asked too.

"Sort of."

Wang Ruoxie nodded. Between him and the Ling Family, there had already formed a grievance that could only end in death. If given the chance, his adversaries would put him to death, and he likewise wouldn't sit idly by.

"You managed to kill him. You must be quite powerful, right?"

Su Qingxue's eyes showed a touch of excitement as she looked at Wang Ruoxie and spoke again.

"Yes, more or less."

Wang Ruoxie nodded. Once he recovers his cultivation, no one below the Essence Pill Realm could threaten him, not even a typical Essence Pill Realm First Layer could pose any threat, assuring at least a safe retreat.

"Then, if you recover your cultivation, could you contend against the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm?"

Su Qingxue's eyes locked onto Wang Ruoxie with hope in her gaze.

"I should be able to."

Wang Ruoxie was slightly startled, then nodded.

Contending against the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm would be effortless; even against the Ninth Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm or a general Half-Step Essence Pill, he could easily defeat them.

"That's wonderful."

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's confirmation, Su Qingxue expressed some delight: "Then could you come back with us to the Su Family and temporarily serve as a guard for Sister Qiuling and me?"

"Guard?"

Wang Ruoxie was taken by surprise by the suggestion of becoming a guard.

He never imagined he would one day become someone's guard.

In his previous life, he was the Celestial Prince of the Celestial Court, a status of high respect; even beings at the Celestial Monarch Realm or Celestial Emperor Realm weren't qualified to have him as their guard. Even in this life, he had never served anyone as a guard, nor did anyone qualify to make him one.

However, he couldn't refuse this pure-hearted girl; not only because she saved him, but also, for some reason, this girl named Su Qingxue reminded him of his sister from his previous life.

His sister from his past life was equally pure-hearted and, like Su Qingxue, filled with Spiritual Qi, possessing eyes of incomparable vitality.

"Qingxue, don't be silly."

Su Qiuling lightly scolded Su Qingxue.

"Oh."

Su Qingxue pouted with a bit of grievance.

"I agree."

At that moment, Wang Ruoxie nodded towards Su Qingxue with a faint smile and said.

Currently, without any cultivation, it's impossible for him to continue forward alone. It would be better to first go to the Su Family with the two women, and then leave once his cultivation is restored.

Regarding the role of a guard, he didn't mind it at all.

As long as he wields sufficiently strong power, no matter his status, no one would dare to underestimate him.

"Great, from now on you are Sister Qiuling's and my guard."

Su Qingxue joyfully spoke upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's acceptance.

Su Qiuling also wore a faint smile while nodding slightly at Wang Ruoxie without saying anything further.

Su Family, located within Nanyang County City in the Black Luo Kingdom, is a powerful family with a millennium of foundation.

It's rumored that the Su Family's Ancestor, a living fossil who has lived for several centuries, has long reached the Half-Step Essence Pill level. Although he has never broken through to the Essence Pill Realm, he is still considered one of the three major powerhouses of Nanyang County.
