Chapter 22 : Just a Lowly Slave,What Qualifications?
Having heard Fei Hou’s explanation, it became clear to Huang Xiaolong why Fei Hou’s meridians were broken, and his body had such severe injuries.
“Sit down, let me first treat your injuries,” said Huang Xiaolong after pondering for a moment. Although he would like to know more about Asura’s Gate and its current situation but with Fei Hou’s serious injuries, it’s more important first to stabilize his condition.
“Sovereign, my body’s broken veins…” Fei Hou hesitated before asking.
In general, broken veins are incurable unless he could find those legendary elixirs.
“You don’t need to worry.” Huang Xiaolong waved his hand, said, “I can reconnect your veins, it's just that it will take about six months.”
“Sovereign! You can reconnect my broken veins?” Fei Hou was very shocked; it was not that he doubted Huang Xiaolong but he felt it was too bizarre! Could it be that the Sovereign was in possession of a legendary elixir?
“Sit down first.”
Fei Hou’s heart was filled with questions but he dared not defy orders. He answered respectfully and sat down. Once he sat down, Huang Xiaolong put his palms on Fei Hou’s back and circulated his internal energy, thereby transferring it to Fei Hou. In an instant, Fei Hou could feel warm energy enter his body; he quickly refocused his attention and coordinated with Huang Xiaolong, guiding the warm energy to nourish his body.
More than one hour passed.
Huang Xiaolong stopped, face slightly pale.
Although his Body Metamorphose training had reached the fourth stage, his internal energy was still a bit weak. However, after having spent more than an hour of transferring internal energy to Fei Hou, he was now able to circulate the energy on his own to recover his strength.
Huang Xiaolong watched Fei Hou circulating internal energy to heal himself for a little while, and then he left the room and returned to his yard.
When Huang Peng saw his son returned looking tired, he felt a little strange; didn’t his son go out with Li Lu to walk around the city?
“Xiaolong, are you okay?” Huang Peng asked
Seeing at his father’s concern, he laughed. “I’m fine Dad.”
Huang Peng lets out a breath of relief, then asked, “Miss Li Lu has gone back?”
Huang Xiaolong nodded his head.
Suddenly, Huang Peng smiled, and his smile carried a strange flavor as his stare fixed on Huang Xiaolong, Huang Peng, quipped: “Isn’t Miss Li Lu’s hand very soft and smooth? Isn’t nice holding hands with a beauty?”
Huang Xiaolong blanked out for a moment before smiling: “I say Old Man, what are talking about. There’s nothing going on between Miss Li Lu and me.”
Huang Peng smiled and said, “Okay, I know there’s nothing between you and Li Lu, only Miss Li Lu has something with you.” When he said that, Huang Peng laughed happily “You don’t know this, but when Miss Li Lu pulled your hand on the way out that brat Huang Wei’s expression was so bad, it was like he ate dog shit.”
Huang Xiaolong shook his head while smiling.
“But, Xiaolong, you have to be wary of Huang Wei.” said Huang Peng and his toned turned serious.
“I know Dad, don’t worry. If there is nothing else, I’ll be going back to my room,” said Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Peng nodded. “Okay, go and rest.”
After Huang Xiaolong got into his room, he took out the cold jade bed from Ring of Asura, sat on it then began to practice Asura Tactic. The night passed and morning came. Huang Xiaolong stopped his training, all the lethargy from yesterday had disappeared leaving him feeling refreshed.
Leaving his room, Huang Xiaolong walked towards Fei Hou’s room; as he got there, coincidentally Fei Hou came out.
“Seen Sovereign, Sovereign invincible throughout!” Fei Hou saw Huang Xiaolong, immediately knelt down on one knee in salute. After Huang Xiaolong had helped him to treat his injury last night, his demeanor became even more respectful towards Huang Xiaolong.
“You can stand.” Huang Xiaolong nodded.
Only then Fei Hou did stand up respectfully.
