Human nature, indeed, is peculiar and strange! Seeing the unwavering faith in those eyes full of concern, feeling the familiar aura emanating from the object on the skin, he tentatively sent out a call to that entity. Unexpectedly, his mind was suddenly repelled by an overwhelming force, nearly dissipating. This was an existence far beyond his realm, transcendent above all, still as formidable as ever, even when possessed by a mere mortal. Lan Yu was shocked, then fell silent, quietly withdrawing his probe. Soul bound? Ha, what luck he has. Ghost Sha Luo, you fool, if not for your cleverness, how could a mere mortal have the chance to bind his soul with the Ascending Sun Order of the Turing Holy Ancestor! In another ethereal space, Lan Yu transformed into a wisp of misty vapor, angrily roaring at the figure writhing in agony within her Nether Flame. Foolish and ignorant, reflect on your actions in this purgatory! The flames within the void space grew even more sinister. He obtained the Ascending Sun Order and completed the soul binding with the holy artifact some time ago. Previously, a fool like Ghost Sha Luo might have caused him some trouble, but now, logically, he should have mastered everything. Why does he still act this way? Is it all a pretense? The sensation on her cheek brought her back to the warm days of her initial awakening from chaos, as if she had returned to the womb. This feeling confirmed one fact: the holy artifact had indeed merged with him. However, why is the power of the holy artifact so weak? I understand now, it must be because his soul cultivation is too weak; even though the artifact is soul-bound to him, its actual effect is greatly diminished! It seems there might still be a chance to reclaim the holy artifact! The game of love, Lan Yu ultimately did not want to end such a game so easily. Faced with this rare and deadly situation, she could easily drain his spiritual energy and cause his death with just a slight effort. Moreover, the spiritual energy gained through such forceful means would not compare to the rich rewards of true soul resonance through dual cultivation. Plus, she now had an even more important goal: to retrieve the Ascending Sun Order hidden within this person. Thus, she deemed the slight punishment sufficient to awaken her prey and silently withdrew the constraint. However, the spiritual energy willingly offered by this foolish prey was already enough to heal the damage to her spirit. After this brief contact, Lin Feng, who had nearly exhausted himself, was left unrewarded, slumping like mud in front of the sickbed. Meanwhile, Lan Yu, who had been playing sick on the bed, effortlessly used this opportunity to heal her spirit, her unparalleled beauty blooming once again. Lan Yu decided to fully commit to the act; seeing her brother fall, she immediately started crying in a delicate voice, frantically pressing the emergency button at the bedside. Medical staff soon arrived. They hurriedly carried Lin Feng to another bed to rest, initially not noticing Lan Yu’s transformation. After things calmed down, the doctor who had first treated Lan Yu unintentionally caught a glimpse of her lovely face, gasped for air, and fainted, collapsing onto the unfortunate Lin Feng. The weight of the hefty doctor, over 180 pounds, was like a wall pressing down on Lin Feng, making it hard for him to breathe, causing another flurry in the ward. Lin Feng was finally freed, and most importantly, when he looked at Lan Yu and saw her face restored to perfection, he was overjoyed. The big doctor, after being slapped awake by his colleagues, stared at Lan Yu’s face in a daze, muttering about impossibilities. Fortunately, the other nurses were not as shocked; they were merely envious of Lan Yu’s beauty, giving her a few more glances. Being women, they wouldn’t embarrass themselves by ogling, and they awkwardly helped the still-stunned doctor away. “Brother, are you okay?” “No, no, I’m fine.” Lin Feng, who had been lying like a corpse on the bed for over ten minutes, felt his strength somewhat restored and managed to sit up. He had risked using his special ability to heal Lan Yu, nearly draining both his mental and physical strength to the point of death. He hadn’t expected that using such an ability would consume so much spiritual energy; the sensation was like feeding himself to a tiger, his spiritual energy draining away like water from a broken dam into a bottomless abyss. But at least his efforts were not in vain. Seeing Lan Yu’s face restored, he felt somewhat comforted, thinking that even if his spiritual energy was depleted, it could be cultivated back, and preserving her beauty was at least some compensation for her, hoping she would live out her days happily. Lan Yu was also contemplating her next move with her own concerns. The two of them, each with their own thoughts, suddenly found the atmosphere tense. As they were staring at each other, there was a sudden commotion outside the ward, followed by someone bursting in. “Yu’er! Where is my Yu’er?” Lin Feng immediately jumped off the bed, shouting, “Mom, why are you here again?” The intruder was Lin Feng’s mother. She had somehow received the news and, without even acknowledging her son’s call, rushed straight to Lan Yu, who was still lying on the bed. “Yu’er, I heard you were injured. Where are you hurt? Is it serious?” Lin Feng’s mother, if not for being in a hospital and with her son watching like a hawk, might have forcibly lifted Lan Yu’s clothes to check where she was injured. “Godmother, Yu’er is fine now, thanks to my brother’s care, she’s all better!” “Hmm?” As if just remembering her son, Lin Feng’s mother turned and asked, “Lin Lin, what exactly happened? Why did Xiao Yun call me to say Yu’er was injured and that you might not be able to handle it alone, so I should rush over? Wasn’t Yu’er here to bring you soup? How did she suddenly get hurt? And where is Xiao Yun? She said she was at the hospital too, why isn’t she here?” “Xiao Yun? Isn’t she in the waiting area?” Lin Feng suddenly thought of something ominous, looking tense as he prepared to rush out.
“Damn it, all I remembered was treating her wounds. With all the chaos in the hall just now, so many injured people writhing on the ground, those two shouldn’t be pestered to death by the families! But from the tone of my mom, it seems like Xiao Yun and the others had already escaped. Could it be that they took advantage of the confusion to slip away? This is really troublesome. Even if they ran away, they can’t escape the consequences; this hospital is full of cameras. Even if Xiao Yun and Sister Xiaoman got away for now, if someone reports to the police, they’ll be charged with intentional injury and absconding, and that’s solid evidence. Moreover, the number of injured isn’t just seven or eight; it’s actually seventy or eighty! That girl, doesn’t she know better? Knowing Yu’er was injured and hospitalized, she didn’t even stay to comfort her, just called in a rush, didn’t even explain properly, and I thought she was here in the hospital too! Sigh, they aren’t real sisters, after all. Let them go if they want to! But you can’t run away anymore, do you hear me? Yu’er needs someone to take care of her now! You heartless boy, can’t you bear to let such a sweet girl like Yu’er stay alone in the hospital? Hey, boy, did you hear what your mom said? You must stay obediently in the hospital today!”
