The rabbit became anxious and let out a noise trying to explain something, but Yun Lintian did not understand. Upon seeing that Yun Lintian didn't intend to help, the rabbit briefly glanced at the woman before its eyes turned resolute.
Suddenly, the rabbit's body glowed in purple light, and the area between its brows slowly opened, revealing a small purple jade with a terrifying aura kept emitting from it.
Yun Lintian was shocked because the rabbit's current appearance resembled a figure that he found in the book.
"Lunar Jade Rabbit?" Yun Lintian uttered in disbelief.
The novel wasn't the only thing Yun Lintian loves to read, but he also read many legends and folklore. During these past months, aside from studying the Record of Life and the Myriad Formation Scripture, Yun Lintian would occasionally find a book related to the mythical beast in the legend. And the Lunar Jade Rabbit was one of them.
According to the legend, the Lunar Jade Rabbit was a companion of the Moon Goddess, Chang'e. It was said the Jade Emperor had disguised himself into a poor, starving old man and begged for food from a monkey, otter, jackal, and rabbit. While others did not care about him, rabbit though, could only gather grass and knew well enough that grass couldn't be offered as food to humans. Hence, the rabbit decided to offer its own body, sacrificing itself in the fire the man had started.
Later, the old man revealed himself as the Jade Emperor and was touched by the rabble's selfless sacrifice. He decided to send the rabbit to the moon to become the immortal Jade Rabbit.
Yun Lintian did find the information related to this immortal Jade Rabbit and was surprised when he discovered it was called 'Lunar Jade Rabbit' here in this world. It could be regarded as the Divine-rank Profound Beast, slightly inferior to the four mythical beasts, Azure Dragon, Phoenix, White Tiger, and Black Turtle.
The tiny purple jade on the rabbit's forehead suddenly fell out and landed on the rabbit's paw. The rabbit lifted its paw weakly to Yun Lintian as though it was trying to offer the purple jade to him.
Yun Lintian was shocked when he looked at the purple jade that radiated with a powerful aura. He remembered this jade was called 'Lunar Jade,' and the Lunar Jade Rabbit could only take it out once in their lifetime. When the jade was taken out, the Lunar Jade Rabbit would lose its power and become an ordinary beast.
"You…" It was rare to see Yun Lintian stuttered. He looked at the rabbit in front of him with complicated feelings.
Yun Lintian did not intend to force the Lunar Jade Rabbit to this point. He just wanted to know why the rabbit thought he was a good person and wanted to learn the woman's identity. From the look of it, the rabbit wasn't stupid enough to not know that asking for help from a stranger was risky.
The rabbit was anxious and tried to give the purple jade to Yun Lintian while pointing at the woman.
Yun Lintian was extremely touched by the rabbit and decided to help out. "You put the jade back. I'll help her."
The rabbit didn't retract its paw but stubbornly gave it to Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian shook his head, ignoring the rabbit, and went to the woman's side. He squatted down and carefully examined her body.
The woman's figure could be described as mesmerizing beauty. Whether it was her slender waist, breasts, and buttocks, every feature on her body was almost perfect, as though the god himself personally carved with utmost care.
What a beautiful girl. Yun Lintian thought. This was the first time Yun Lintian admired other women's beauty beside Yun Qianxue.
Observing with his naked eyes, Yun Lintian did not find anything out of the ordinary on her. It was as if she just simply faint for no reason.
Yun Lintian used his hand to grab her wrist and quickly retracted his hand as he felt an incomparably cold from her body.
"What is this?" Yun Lintian frowned and searched in his mind for relevant information. There were too many aliments that could make a person's body turn cold. He could not figure it out for the time being.
Yun Lintian looked around, thinking this place was unsuitable for performing a thorough examination and decided to bring her to the cave behind the waterfall.
He turned to the rabbit and said, "Follow me. I'll bring your master to my place first. I don't know if I can help her, but I'll try my best. You should put that jade back."
The rabbit hesitated for a while before it put the purple jade back to its forehead.
Yun Lintian circulated his profound energy to protect his body, lifted the woman, and speedily brought her to the cave.
When he arrived in the cave, he took a bed out and laid her on it. Yun Lintian then activated the Eyes of Heaven to examine her, and his face immediately turned solemn by the discovery.
"Abyssal Energy? How come?" Yun Lintian muttered to himself. This was the first time he saw Abyssal Energy within a human.
According to the Abyssal Energy record, ordinary people who took the Abyssal Energy in would almost instantly lose their lives. However, this woman before him was clearly alive despite having a large portion of Abyssal Energy within her… How could she still be alive? This question appeared in Yun Lintian's mind.
Yun Lintian's golden pupils continued to stare at the woman's body, trying to find a clue. Suddenly, he saw a tiny crescent moon symbol on her Foundation Gate around the belly area.
Yun Lintian turned to the rabbit and then the woman. "Don't tell me, both of you are the legendary Chang'e and the jade rabbit?"
He shook his head, getting rid of his messy thoughts, and focused on the crescent moon symbol within the woman's body. All of a sudden, Yun Lintian thought of something and exclaimed in shock. "Wait a minute, this is the Divine Moon Profound Vein!?"
