Rise Against Desperation

The soft, beautiful moon and stars of the forest bud as usual lay on a haystack, chewing a grass root at the corner of his mouth.

What seemed to be carefree but people did not know was that a trace of starlight that could not be seen by the naked eye was flowing towards the forehead of the forest bud.

"I have gathered enough starlight power to support my cultivation tonight. Now that I have recovered to Stage Seven Martial Disciple, I will be able to completely restore my damaged meridians."

After Lin Hu muttered to himself in a low voice, he walked towards the back of the mountain as per usual.

The name of Fragrant Leaf village is just like its name. It is named after the tree because of the mountain.

There were countless fragrant leaves on the endless mountain. Every spring, they would give off a faint fragrance. The leaves were the size of three palms and were evergreen in all four seasons.

Smelling the fragrant scent of the sprout, he walked into the back of the mountain, which was already quite far away.

Every time Lin Hua returned, he would bring some medicinal herbs with him. For the past two years, no one had doubted why he had gone to the back of the mountain. They only knew how to gather some medicinal herbs to make up for their daily needs.

The Lin Clan's guards, who were in charge of managing the janitor's children, were also very pleased with Lin Hua's capabilities. Therefore, they never cared about his behavior of going to the back of the mountain late at night.

The herb harvesting grounds were all outside the camp. Therefore, the Lin Family guards never had to worry about the safety of the servants' disciples.

Lin Hua, who had originally gone to train as per usual, was instead attracted by the scene before him.

Lin Hu bent down and touched the leaves with his hand. He placed his fingertips on his nose and sniffed, "Human blood? And it was only a few hours ago. Could it be Little Tiger?"

Normally, this place was where herb picking disciples would come to. However, based on the passage of time, there shouldn't have been anyone here.

Even if there was one, it was Xiao Hu, who had a good relationship with him. In order to treat his mother's illness, Xiao Hu would come here every night to pick double the medicinal herbs. This aroused Lin Hua's curiosity.

Following the trail of blood, Lin Hua continued his search.

The trail of blood was very long. Lin Hu stood under a huge rock and looked at the water flowing down. After hesitating for a while, Lin Hu climbed up the vine.

"Could it be that he came here to pick the cherry blossom grass?"

As he muttered to himself, the forest bud had already climbed to the top of the stream. The night in the Fragrant Sky village was bright and clear, so it didn't seem too dark.

The fireflies flying in the air from time to time could also bring light to the sprout, but the scene in front of him made his heart skip a beat.

The water flowed past, and by the aid of the moonlight, the swimming movements of the fish and prawns could be clearly seen.

The surrounding trees obscured the long, open water. A twelve to thirteen year old girl with blood all over her body was lying lazily on a rock in the stream.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Hu quickly walked up to the young girl. The young girl's eyes were tightly shut and she seemed to be devoid of breath.

"Still breathing." Withdrawing his hand, Lin Hu carefully turned the young girl's body around.

Although the girl had her eyes closed at this moment, her exquisite facial features were unblemished. With a single glance, one could tell she was going to be a beauty in the future.

A purple dress wrapped around her graceful body. Her abdomen was dyed with blood, causing the young girl's body to bend. Because of the pain, even the young girl's delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, giving her a unique charm.

"Miss, you've been injured so badly, my conscience definitely won't be able to let you go." With a few words, he picked up the girl in front of him and quickly headed back to where he was cultivating.

It was common for a Stage Seven Fighter to possess a strength of 500 jin. The girl that he carried did not have much of an impact on his movement speed.

Not long after, he arrived at his own practice area.

Looking at the girl's injuries, Lin Hua closed his eyes and the starlight once again filled the whole place.

"Since the power of the starlight is able to heal my injuries, I believe that it should be able to treat others as well."

After he spoke, threads of starlight flowed around the tips of Lin Hua's fingers like streams of water.

Lin Hua closed his eyes and lifted the girl's clothes. His fingers, which were filled with starlight, touched the girl's abdomen. It was as if the starlight was being pulled towards the girl's abdomen.

Two hours later, Lin Hu opened his eyes, and the starlight had already dissipated.

Lin Hu stared at the young girl's abdomen. Seeing that the bleeding wound had stopped, he happily rubbed the young girl's abdomen, revealing his snow-white teeth. "I've never tried it before, but I didn't expect it to have such an effect!"

However, at this moment, a sharp cry resounded throughout this hidden practice area.

"Rogue!"

"Pah!"

The crisp and loud sound was so direct. Lin Hua was caught off guard by the sudden palm strike.

Lin Hu was stunned as he looked into the young girl's eyes. Before he could pull his hand away, he stood rooted to the spot.

It was a pair of purple eyes, with a clear luster under her long eyelashes. It matched perfectly with her unblemished facial features.

Her pout of anger was like a fairy in the world, agile and beautiful. She sighed in admiration at the fact that the Creator was able to create such a beautiful creature.

After a long time, when he saw the young girl pick up the white jade wrist, Lin Hu immediately retreated and angrily rebuked the young girl, "Why did you hit me?"

Seeing the young girl cover her stomach with both hands, Lin Hu's face turned red. He then turned around and said, "About that, I had no choice but to treat your injuries, I hope you don't take it to heart."

"You saved me?" After the young girl calmed down, she glanced at her abdomen and sized up Lin Hua.

"Seeing that your injuries weren't light to me, I brought you here." In response to the young girl's words, Lin Hua took out a small bundle and handed it over to the purple-eyed girl.

"This is the dry rations I didn't finish today. Grandpa Huang's big cake is so fragrant!"

The young girl looked at the boy in front of her and hesitated for a moment. Then, she took the package from Lin Hua and sniffed it.

After hesitating for a moment, a gurgling sound could be heard. The young girl's face turned slightly red and she opened her mouth to take a bite.

As if she had been hungry for a long time, the young girl began to eat in big bites after reaching the end.

During the sprout, he passed a pot of clear spring water from his bamboo tube to prevent the girl from choking.

"Ten minutes later." "Don't be afraid, I won't hit you."

After a moment of satisfaction, the young woman slightly reduced her hostility towards Lin Hua and said.

"How did you cure my injury?" The doubtful lady touched her abdomen once more, and the flow of blood had already stopped. She looked curiously at Lin Yun.

"That, that!" After being asked by the young girl, Lin Hua did not know how to respond. The mysterious starlight definitely could not tell this young girl of her unknown origins, so Lin Hua was momentarily stumped.

"Whatever, I won't ask if you don't want to say it. Since you saved my life, I will think of a way to repay you. You can go now." The purple-eyed girl was very straightforward. She had already ordered them to leave.

"Why are you injured? Who are you? Where are you from? What's your name?" Lin Hu's words were gentle. After a series of questions, he did not hear the young girl's reply and just shook his head as he prepared to leave.

"Why don't I take you back to the village?" After walking to the entrance of the cave, Lin Hua hesitated for a while, before looking at the young lady who was sleeping soundly.

"You can't. If you don't want all of your village's lives to be lost here, it's best that you don't tell anyone about me."

The young lady's voice was calm, but it caused Lin Hua's body to tremble. He was also stunned by the severity of the situation.

"Then if you stay here to recuperate, no one will be able to discover you. I'll come see you again tomorrow. Rest in peace."

Lin Yuan left the area and found a relatively hidden underneath a large tree. The area was covered with vegetation, and after confirming that there was no one around, he sat down cross-legged.

"two-thirds of the starlight I gathered tonight was for Zi Tong." This was the name that Lin Hua had given to the young girl.

The starlight in this place was relatively sparse, so it wasn't afraid of anyone noticing it in the dark. Threads of starlight like water converged at Lin Hu's right arm. Two hours later, Lin Hua stood up with a pale complexion.

"Although the power of starlight can cure someone's injuries, the spiritual energy consumption is too great, resulting in the right arm's recovery tonight to end here!"

After making up his mind, Lin Hu stood up and prepared to leave for Fragrant Leaf village.

However, the extremely sensitive Forest Sprout immediately dodged to the side.

"It's these guys again. You can't blame me for coming here tonight to get a beating."

After whispering to himself, he picked up a wooden stick and brazenly walked toward the four people in front of him.

With the cultivation base of Stage Seven Martial Disciple, he did not fear any of them, not even the four of them.

Since the night was dark and he was not afraid of being discovered, he might as well be a little more bold.

"This Lin Fei had a vicious heart and tried to break my legs many times, but today, I will fulfill your wish." After making up his mind, Lin Hua slowly walked towards Lin Fei and the other two.

"Brother Fei, you came to the back of the mountain every night to gather herbs. I suspect that he was the one who ambushed Lin Pang that day. Today, we four will definitely not be able to kill him."

The young man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was called Lin Bi. The idea of capturing Xiao Yue'er had also come from this person. Lin Hu had a very deep impression of him.

"You guys are useless, he, a level 2 Fighter trash, was ambushed and succeeded." After Lin Fei finished his words, he suddenly turned around to take a look.

Lin Hu did not hide his body at this moment as he walked out of the forest, calmly looking at the four of them with the wooden stick in his hand.

"You actually dared to show up so arrogantly? You really don't know your place. Fine, then no one will break your right leg and reunite with old man Huang." Lin Fei viciously said as he squinted his slender eyes and looked at Lin Hu with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Hu's eyes widened as he glared at Lin Xian, his anger overflowing, "You broke Grandpa Huang's leg?"

"Just now, he insisted on protecting that trash, Yue Er, and was unwilling to bring us to the Spirit Beast Mountain to gather herbs. Even though he agreed to double the price, we had no choice but to make our move."

The indifferent words caused Lin Chu to clench his fists, "What about Xiao Yue'er?"
