Celestial Bloodline - Chapter 665: Did they locate Jian?

The first person to rush towards the bloodied figure after Bia was Yue. She quickly noticed the man’s familiar silver hair as he lay motionless on the ground. Yue sat beside Kyle’s body on the icy ground and started examining him.

“Kyle!?”

Her concerned voice echoed in the air. Bia, who had arrived earlier, strangely moved away to a distance and began watching everything with a deadpan expression.

– ‘He could have at least changed his bloodied clothes. Now that we are close, I can tell he’s perfectly fine and awake… This bastard. He’s definitely faking it to dodge all the backlash from everyone for the stunt he pulled in the tomb!’

Her eyes flashed with anger, but she hurrmped and didn’t intervene as Asher, Mia, and Regius also arrived next to Kyle’s body, and the half-dragon grabbed his hand to assess his condition. Asher blinked.

“Weird, I can’t detect any major injuries on his body. Is he unconscious because he lost too much blood?”

He scratched his head with furrowed brows and mumbled under his breath.

“But considering he is a transcendent rank, that shouldn’t be a problem for him, right?” Yue grabbed her sleeve with her fingers and wiped away the bloodstains on Kyle’s chin. Kyle let out a faint groan and nestled his head against her. Even though Yue was mad at him and wanted to ignore him until he turned over a new leaf and would never repeat what he did in the tomb, she allowed him to lean in and wrapped her arms around his head in a warm embrace.

“It’s safe… I’m here.”

She whispered softly, and Asher stepped back with Regius and Mia to give the couple some space. They couldn’t detect any major injuries on Kyle’s body, so maybe he just needed some rest to wake up.

Bia floated over to Mia and landed on her shoulder. Observing the phoenix’s somber expression, Mia gently stroked her head.

“Don’t you wanna go see Kyle? I know you are upset with him, we all are, but go check on him. He’s injured; who knows what Azazeal did to him in the tomb.”

Bia rolled her eyes.

-“I know he suffered in the tomb; that’s why I’m not exposing his lousy acting.”

Mia blinked in surprise.

“What?”

The phoenix simply shrugged her wings and nuzzled into her touch.

-“Nothing.”

After a bit, Asher spotted Yue helping Kyle to sit down, who had just started to open his eyes slightly. But the half-dragon’s eyes narrowed suspiciously when he noticed a smirk on the corners of Kyle’s lips.

He didn’t ponder much on it and looked over at Regius, who was talking with the others through the communication crystal.

“So, did they locate Jian?”

Regius’s eyes were wide with astonishment as he shut the communication crystal.

“They did and you won’t believe it, but they discovered his body submerged in a hot spring beneath a massive tree laden with fruits brimming with divine energy…”

The disbelief in Regius’s eyes was crystal clear. Jian, the very Jian he knew, who had the worst ill-fated luck among all of them… landed in such a good place?

Asher’s eyes also flashed with surprise. He had noticed Jian’s bad luck in the time they were together, and after hearing all the tales from the others, he was certain that lady luck had a grudge against the man. So, why did he end up in such a fortunate spot?

“He’s alive, right?”

Regius gave him a look.

“The others did spot a tiny hole in the middle of his collarbones. But he’s alive.”

He paused for a second.

“I heard Zron had started frantically scouring the hot spring for some reason after spotting the hole in Jian collarbones, insisting that Jian had lost something vey valuable that he had given the young man.”

Asher nodded with a perplexed look, and they headed towards Kyle. The half-dragon once more inspected Kyle’s body.

“Are you certain you’re alright? We must leave this location and seek a hidden spot as the entire Sacred Divine Land is currently teeming with people from the dark side.”

Kyle brushed his hand aside, looking irritated. He wasn’t fond of physical contact, but upon catching Yue’s gaze, he placed his arm on her neck for support, wearing a solemn expression. “I’m okay, just having trouble walking. I should improve in a few weeks… perhaps?”

He intentionally gave the impression that he wasn’t certain about fully healing even within that timeframe.

‘I’m sure that by then, everyone will have forgotten about what I did in the tomb, and I won’t have to explain anything.’

Bia’s eyebrow twitched at his words. The man who can heal even the worst injury in seconds with his bloodline needs weeks to be fully healed? Who does he think he’s kidding? She landed on Kyle’s head and grabbed his hair tightly.

-“Why only a few weeks? It’s fine even if you need a couple of months. We will definitely look after you. Don’t worry.”

Kyle wrinkled his nose at the sudden anger he sensed from the phoenix and realized she saw through his act.

‘The others are okay but don’t tell Yue… I will treat you to something really special.’

Bia chuckled wickedly to herself.

-‘Only food won’t suffice this time!’

Kyle let out a sigh inwardly.

‘Okay, okay, I admit I was definitely in the wrong this time-!’

Bia interrupted with a grave voice.

-‘Just this time?’

Kyle amended his words.

‘I have been wrong many times, now good? I will fullfil any wish you have in return.’

Bia nodded and quickly made herself comfortable on his head.

-‘That doesn’t sound half bad.’

Kyle’s eyes crinkled at her words, but his smile faded when Asher bent down before him and asked him to climb on his back. Since Kyle was having trouble walking, the half-dragon wanted to help him. However, Kyle just flicked his fingers and conjured a portal nearby with a

deadpan expression.

“I am not able to walk properly, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do anything else at all.”

Asher stood up with a chuckle, and they all stepped into the portal.

In the next second, they arrived at the area in the Sacred Divine Land filled with many

buildings and shops, the very place where Yue and those who had taken part in the Gladiator

Arena had stayed for a while.

That area was also attacked by the demons and the people from the dark race, but Kyle formed an array around a building to hide it completely, and they went in to rest.
