Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Old Immortal_1
Looking at her flushed cheeks, Ethan Smith finally shook his head.
Seeing this, Queenie Welch didn’t insist on her offer and left with the herb basket on her back.
Ethan sat quietly on a rock, his eyes half-closed, breathing gently.
After an unknown amount of ti, Queenie returned from the outside.
Seeing Ethan sitting on the rock, she approached him and whispered, “Ethan, you haven’t rested yet.”
Ethan nodded and said, “I can’t sleep.”
...
Queenie continued, “You haven’t recovered from your injuries yet. You need more rest. I… I’ll go fetch so water for you to wash up.”
Ethan looked up at her, about to refuse, but noticed sothing off about her face.
She seed to be avoiding his gaze, afraid of being seen by him.
“What’s wrong with your face?” Ethan asked.
Queenie, covering her face, hurriedly replied, “Nothing… I… I’m going to get water for you.”
Then, she hurriedly ran off.
In a short while, Queenie returned with the water.

She placed the water in front of Ethan and said, “You… you wash up.”
It was apparent that Queenie was a diligent, simple, and kind woman.
Living at the bottom of society, her simple and honest character was indeed a breath of fresh air.
Seeing her take care of him so painstakingly, Ethan felt a little embarrassed.
He slowly got up and put his hand on Queenie’s face.
This action imdiately made her face turn red.
She whispered, “Ethan, you…”
Without explaining, Ethan’s hand glowed, and a trace of qi flowed out of his palm, covering Queenie’s face.
Queenie felt warmth and comfort on her face.
After dozens of seconds, Ethan removed his hand.
Queenie subconsciously touched her face, surprised to find that the redness and swelling had disappeared.
“How did you do that?” she asked incredulously, her eyes wide.
Ethan did not explain. For a Half-step Martial Sage like him, this was rely a wound he could easily heal.
However, for Queenie, who had so dical skills, this was nothing short of divine intervention.
“Ethan, you… you’re amazing!” Excitent flickered across Queenie’s face.
Ethan smiled and said, “It’s nothing.”
Although Queenie wanted to say sothing more, Ethan cut her off.
“You should get so rest.”
After saying this, Ethan ignored Queenie.
He sat on the rock, thinking about how to deal with the Martial Saint that was after him.
Although Queenie wanted to talk to Ethan, she didn’t dare to speak rashly and cautiously retreated to one side.
Ethan stayed awake the entire night.
After much consideration, the safest thod was to conceal his face and lay low for the ti being.
The next day, before daybreak, Queenie woke up early, put a dicine basket on her back, and prepared to gather herbs.
Seeing Ethan sitting on the rock, Queenie asked in surprise, “How… how did you wake up so early?”
Ethan casually replied, “Hmm, I couldn’t sleep anymore. What about you?”
Queenie said, “I have to get up early to gather herbs.”
Hearing this, Ethan frowned and asked, “Do you have to do this every day?”
“Yes, do you want to co with ?” Queenie asked tentatively.
After thinking for a mont, Ethan decided that experiencing the various aspects of life was part of his training.
So, he stood up and said, “Alright.”
As soon as Queenie got a positive response from Ethan, excitent flashed across her face.
She quickly offered, “Should I… make you sothing to eat first? You should have sothing.”
“No need. Let’s go.” Ethan waved his hand.
The two of them embarked on their journey to gather herbs.
The destination for herb gathering was the sa forest where Ethan had fallen.
This vast forest was filled with all sorts of strange and unusual plants.
From ti to ti, there were wild animals lurking in the forest, and Ethan could clearly hear the growls coming from the dark corners.”Aren’t you afraid of running into wild animals when you gather herbs by yourself every day?” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but ask in surprise.
Queenie Welch replied softly, “I am scared, but I’m quite lucky and usually manage to run away.”
“That seems too dangerous.” Ethan Smith frowned.
Queenie Welch sighed, “I don’t have a choice…”
“I don’t understand why you have to gather herbs every day. Does everyone in the village do this?” Ethan Smith asked with curiosity.
Queenie Welch opened her mouth as if she wanted to say sothing but eventually shook her head.
“If you have any difficulties, you can tell . I might be able to help.” Ethan Smith said.
After all, Queenie Welch had helped him, so he felt he needed to return the favor.
“No need!” Queenie Welch shook her head, smiling, “I can handle it by myself.”
Ethan Smith didn’t press further upon seeing her reaction.
In the woods, Queenie Welch carefully gathered herbs everywhere.
She seed to have an acute sense of danger, avoiding areas where wild animals were present.
Throughout the morning, Queenie Welch had slowly collected a whole basket of herbs.
Although these herbs were common, their dicinal properties were well preserved.
“I’m exhausted.” Queenie Welch sat on the ground, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Suddenly, Queenie Welch’s stomach rumbled loudly.
Her face instantly turned red from embarrassnt, and she quickly turned her head to the side.
Ethan Smith glanced at her and said, “You don’t usually eat lunch?”
Queenie Welch replied, “I brought a pancake. Do you want one?”
With that, Queenie Welch took a pancake from her bag.
“Is that all you eat?” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but frown.
Queenie Welch smiled and said, “It’s just for lunch, so I just handle it with sothing simple.”
Ethan Smith thought for a mont and said, “Wait here.”
“Where are you going?” Queenie Welch hurriedly asked.
Without answering, Ethan Smith turned around and walked deeper into the woods.
Shortly after, Ethan Smith returned, dragging a wild boar.
Seeing this, Queenie Welch’s eyes widened.
“Wh… where did you get the wild boar?” Queenie Welch exclaid in surprise.
Ethan Smith casually replied, “Picked it up on the way.”
After saying this, Ethan Smith tore the wild boar apart with his bare hands.
This shocked Queenie Welch even more!
“Ethan Smith, you… that’s a lot of strength,” Queenie Welch said in amazent.
Ethan Smith tore off a leg and then ignited his spiritual fire.
By now, Ethan Smith’s control over the spiritual fire could be described as perfect. In just a few minutes, a grilled boar leg was ready.
“Eat up.” Ethan Smith handed the boar leg to Queenie Welch.
Queenie Welch swallowed her saliva, grabbed the boar leg, and wolfed it down.
“It’s so delicious.” It seed that Queenie Welch was very hungry, as she quickly devoured the entire leg.
After finishing, Queenie Welch seed a bit embarrassed.
Wiping her mouth, she said sowhat awkwardly, “Did I eat too fast?”
Ethan Smith shook his head without speaking.
“Ethan Smith, you’re really amazing, almost like the old immortal in our village,” Queenie Welch muttered.
“Old immortal?” Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow.
Queenie Welch quickly nodded, “Yes, the old immortal in our village is incredibly powerful! They say he can fly through the sky and burrow underground, even tearing wild animals apart with his bare hands!”
Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith murmured, “He must be a cultivator.”
“What?” Queenie Welch asked.
Ethan Smith shook his head and continued, “Is he a local from your village?”
Queenie Welch shook her head, “No, they say he transford into an old immortal a few years ago after receiving a heavenly gift in our village.”
Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith beca interested.
The so-called heavenly gift was obviously a lie.
However… the fact that he suddenly beca a cultivator ant he must have found so Dharma Treasure in the village.
“Perhaps this old immortal might be able to provide with a treasure,” Ethan Smith secretly thought.
