Before he opened his eyes, before he calmed his mind for five breaths, what lay before Chen Changsheng's eyes was the night sky and those densely packed Essence Qi Locks. The final scene in his memory was of him and Nanke dropping to the ground, the black and white surface of the snowy mountains getting closer and closer.

What followed was a heavy thud, endless pain, and infinite darkness.

Upon waking from the darkness, he did not know how much time had passed, only that he was still alive. As he had calmed his mind for five breaths, he had also performed Meditative Introspection, through which he realized that his meridians were covered in cracks. If an ordinary cultivator realized that they had suffered such serious wounds, they would undoubtedly panic, even despair. However, he was very experienced in this aspect and so maintained his calm. He was even able to accurately determine that the most serious wounds had been inflicted by the Demon Lord's counterattack.

He opened his eyes and saw a bearded face. This beard was quite lush, looking like a shrub that had not been pruned for several decades. Unless one carefully looked, it would be very difficult to find where that person's eyes were.

But one only needed to see that person's eyes to be instantly transfixed. These were clear and bright eyes, reserved yet hiding a warmth deep within. It was like the rising sun behind the morning clouds. Though unwilling to easily reveal its true appearance, everyone knew that it was assuredly a very moving sight.

Eyes were the window to the soul and one could glimpse much through them.

Chen Changsheng had seen many pairs of eyes, like the vast sea of stars that were his mMartial uUncle the Pope's eyes, or Xu Yourong's eyes that were like a bare mountain after a fresh rain. However, he was forced to admit that this person's eyes were quite appealing, much more appealing than their bearded face.

”Awake?” the person asked.

Chen Changsheng noticed the person's clothes, realized that they were an officer of the Great Zhou, and felt more at ease.

The young officer guessed that he still could not speak for the moment and said of his own accord, ”This place is the Sloping Cliff Horse Farm. I am the commanding officer here. My name is…”

He paused, then continued, ”Luo Bu.”

Chen Changsheng thought, for some reason, this name sounds a little strange.

”First answer a few questions for me. Blink your eyes once for yes, twice for no.”

The officer called Luo Bu looked at his eyes and asked, ”You are a person of Zhou?”

Without hesitation, Chen Changsheng blinked once.

Luo Bu asked, ”A pharmacist?”

Chen Changsheng hesitated for a few moments, then blinked twice.

Luo Bu smiled, revealing a mouth filled with white teeth, looking like a sun while also revealing his true age.

Chen Changsheng did not know why such a young person would conceal their face in such a thick beard.

He could not help but ponder this question.

”It's fine if you're not willing to admit. In any case, you can't possibly be a spy. Rest well. Although I don't know if you can recover, you shouldn't die. By the way, about that girl, I don't know if she's always been like that or if she got it from the fall, but don't worry yourself.”

After saying this, Luo Bu exited the room.

Nanke carried a bowl of meat and walked from the corner of the room to the bedside.

She slightly tilted her head, her sluggish eyes filled with confusion as she examined Chen Changsheng's face, as if she had never seen him before. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something and placed the bowl of meat in front of Chen Changsheng, indicating that he should eat.

Chen Changsheng had no idea what was happening and arduously managed to shake his head.

Only by eating meat can you have strength,” Nanke said, staring into his eyes.
