After the injured monks were transferred, Shi Qing was finally able to release his strength. Shen Yunying and Liu Muzhou also reduced their strength at the same time, and the three of them flew up into the sky on their swords.
Shi Qing did not forget to wrap up Zhongli Jin's body with bandages, and took the boy into his arms, taking him away from the turbulent sea.
What was a little strange was that even though the two men's clothes were covered in blood, there was not a strong smell of blood.
Moreover, the faint scent of snow lotus on Zhongli Jin's body effectively dispelled all the heat around him.
Shi Qing blinked and said to the boy, "You smell so good."
Zhongli Jin: “…”
The boy's eyes were still red, and he was so frightened by Shi Qing's spell that tears were actually sparkling in his eyes.
Who could have expected that someone who was gentle, mature and calm just a few months ago would choke up so easily a few months later.
Zhongli Jin looked at Shi Qing's clear eyes and felt somewhat disgusted with his own seemingly slightly dirty thoughts.
He couldn't help but look away first, and said hoarsely: "...If you like my scent, you can come closer."
Zhong Lijin thought that it was probably because of his previous amnesia that the youthful nature he had two years ago was awakened a lot. Even if his memory was restored, his personality was not completely different.
Shi Qing didn't actually like the boy's aura, but in this environment, even though Zhongli Jin's clothes were stained with blood, he still had a unique beauty that was out of this world.
Perhaps the halo of the male protagonist that Junior Sister mentioned is similar to this.
As the male protagonist, no matter where he is, he is the most unique existence among thousands of people.
"No, thank you." Shi Qing said.
There are more important things now.

The abyss sea is turbid and hot, like a huge hot pot, steaming up vast gray fog.
The temperature gradually rose, becoming unbearably hot. A mass of water rose from the ground where everyone had been staying.
Its body seemed to have no fixed shape. Sometimes it was like a gel, and sometimes it changed the appearance of all things in the world. The only thing that could be seen clearly was a pair of scarlet vertical pupils in the sky, which were as cold and piercing as a snake, and made people feel frightened.
"Abyss Chaos..." Some monks in the sky seemed to recognize it, and murmured with fear in their tone.
The image and name of the ferocious beast are recorded in "Xiuzhen Zhiguai Pu": "There is a beast, shaped like jelly, born in chaos, its body is shapeless, soft as if it has no bones, but it can transform everything in the world, its mouth is like a huge cave, and its breath swallows everything."
Who could have thought that after having just fended off the attacks of the demon cultivators and numerous monsters, here comes the most difficult of the four most ferocious beasts!
Chaos has no fixed form, and most attacks have no effect on it. Its body is made up of boiling abyss water. If the water touches your skin, you will be burned immediately and suffer great pain. Once you are swallowed by this creature with its huge mouth, even a great immortal will come to save you, and even your soul will not be able to enter reincarnation.
"Are we destined to die here today?" someone cried out in pain.
"Why? !! Why must this competition be changed to a secret place?! Why must we choose a place like the Purgatory Secret Realm where people are eaten without leaving any bones?!!!" Roaring voices echoed around.
The cultivators at Nascent Soul stage and above have seen more of the world and can barely keep calm, but the spirits of most of the Foundation Establishment Pill stage disciples are already on the verge of collapse.
They had only been practicing for twenty to thirty years at most, and had never encountered such a ferocious monster.
Just as the chaos of the abyss condensed into a tiger with sturdy limbs, a young man's interested laughter suddenly came from above everyone: "Everyone! The oriole is behind. Do you like this gift?"
"!!" Everyone looked up at the rolling dark clouds and thunder.
They saw a handsome and well-behaved young man in black sitting on a monster. At this moment, he was lowering his head and looking down at them in a condescending manner.
Then his eyes turned and fell on the girl in green clothes in mid-air. He squinted his eyes and smiled, waved to her and said, "Ah, and Sister Shi Qing, long time no see."
"..."
