And she, the former young lady, can now only hide in a cave, barely clinging to life.
“Yes, I’m back.”
David crouched down to be at eye level with her, and said in a very soft voice, “I’m late.”
Su Qingyuan’s eyes reddened, but she held back her tears.
She turned her face away, her voice trembling with calm: “It’s not your fault. I could have managed even if you hadn’t come.”
“You’re just spouting nonsense.”
David didn’t give her any face. He stretched out his fingers and placed them on her wrist, a wisp of chaotic origin probing into her meridians. “Seventy percent of your meridians are broken, your dantian has three cracks, and your soul also has hidden injuries.”
You’re telling me you can hold on? If you can hold on for another three days, your cultivation will be ruined.
Su Qingyuan remained silent for a moment, without refuting.
David frowned as he carefully examined her injuries, his expression growing increasingly grim as he did so.
The injury was too severe; ordinary pills were useless, and even regular spiritual energy healing was just a drop in the ocean.
To completely cure her, her cultivation level must be restored; gentle methods alone will not suffice.
He thought for a long time, then coughed somewhat awkwardly, “Well I have a way to cure you, it’s just um”
Su Qingyuan looked up at him: “What method?”
“Dual cultivation”.
David gritted his teeth and said, “My Chaos Origin and the Dao of Heaven can be transferred into your body through the dual cultivation method to reshape your meridians, repair your dantian, and nourish your soul.”
However, this method involves some private matters, so I need to ask your opinion first.
He seemed unusually flustered as he said this, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
Su Qingyuan was taken aback at first, then a faint blush rose on her pale face.
She lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long while.
David’s heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to say that he would think of another way, he heard her speak softly.
“good.”
David was taken aback: “You agreed?”
“You’re right, my injury won’t last much longer.”
Su Qingyuan raised her head, a glimmer of light returning to her eyes, her expression cold yet resolute. “I must avenge my father, and I must avenge the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace. I cannot fall here.”
She paused, then softened her voice: “Besides it’s you. I believe you.”
David felt a warmth in his heart, but he still maintained his nonchalant attitude: “Then you’d better not regret it. My talent for cultivation is average, but my ability to serve people cough cough, no, my ability to heal is quite good.”
Su Qingyuan chuckled at his nonsensical words, her weak lips curving into a smile: “Even at a time like this, you can still be sarcastic.”
David chuckled, then said seriously, “I’ll go tell Xue Lan and the others, and then I’ll take you to a safe place to heal your wounds.”
He got up and walked out of the cave, where Jiang Xuelan and Ling Xiyue were indeed still waiting.
Upon seeing him emerge, Ling Xiyue was the first to greet him: “How was it?”
“The young lady of the Myriad Laws Palace is injured,” David said.
“How are you? Are you badly injured?” Jiang Xuelan asked anxiously.
Along the way, they had already heard about David’s affairs in the Twenty-Seventh Heaven, so they were very grateful to Su Qingyuan.
After all, Su Qingyuan had always taken care of David.
“The injury is quite serious, but it can be treated.”
David scratched his head, and for once hesitantly said, “It’s just the treatment method is a bit special, it requires dual cultivation.”
Jiang Xuelan and Ling Xiyue exchanged a glance, neither of them showing much surprise.
Ling Xiyue simply snorted softly: “I knew it. You’re the kind of person who can’t find female confidantes wherever you go.”
David immediately raised his hands in surrender: “Heaven and earth bear witness! I truly did this to save people!”
Jiang Xuelan didn’t argue with him, but said gently, “Speaking of which, Miss Su was so badly injured because of you. It’s a good thing that you were able to save her. Don’t have any worries; saving people is the right thing to do.”
Ling Xiyue also pouted, her words sharp but her tone softening: “Go on, go on, don’t keep her waiting. After you heal her, we’ll go after the Dry Bone Sect together.”
Looking at the two incredibly generous women, David felt both warm and guilty. In the end, he simply nodded solemnly and said, “Wait for me to come back.”
He turned back into the cave and helped Su Qingyuan out of the cave entrance.
Su Qingyuan saw Jiang Xuelan and Ling Xiyue, nodded slightly as a greeting, and said weakly, “I’m sorry to have troubled you.”
Ling Xiyue waved her hand: “Sister Su, what are you saying? We’re in the same boat now. You should take good care of your injuries. Once you’re healed, we’ll get revenge together.”
