Chapter 90 - Death from Overtalk (2/2)

————————

Yi Qing did not know how long he had been unconscious, but when he woke up, he had almost recovered from his injuries, his severed meridians were completely mended, and even his damaged primordial spirit was restored.

Recalling what happened before he fainted, his heart leapt with joy and his gaze immediately lit on a certain someone on the right who sat on a chair munching fruit.

“Master…” He was about to sit up when he felt a tearing pain in his body.

“Slowly, slowly!” Shen Ying hurriedly pushed him back down, saying, “Your injuries are not fully healed yet.”

Yi Qing lay back down, but his eyes kept looking at her. “I’m all right. Thank you, Master for nursing my injuries.”

“Er…” Shen Ying did not know what to say.

“The person who nursed you is here!” exclaimed Lonemoon, who sat on the edge of the bed taking Yi Qing’s pulse. He was obviously the one sitting closest to Yi Qing, yet Yi Qing’s gaze had uncannily locked on Shen Ying first.

Turning his head to look at Lonemoon, Yi Qing frowned and immediately turned back again, as if he had not heard anything, continuing to look at Shen Ying with a star-gazed expression in his eyes.

Did he just give me a disgusted look? I’m sure he did!

“Master, it’s my fault I have caused you to worry.”

“… I was not really worried.” The grunt work was done by Father Niu; all she did was sit on the chair.

“I don’t know what you were thinking. You knew well that Shen Ying would come, so why did you go all out?” Lonemoon could not help nagging. “A little longer and it would not be as simple as being comatose for two weeks; you would have lost your entire cultivation.”

“I was unconscious for two weeks?”

“That’s right! Almost sixteen days.”

“It must be Master who brought me back?” asked Yi Qing.

“What makes you think it’s her?” said Lonemoon, annoyed. “She’s too lazy to even carry spirit stones with her when she goes out. I am obviously the one who carried…”

“Thank you, Master!” Without waiting for him to finish, Yi Qing turned to Shen Ying and said,

“You have saved my life once again and you even nursed me for so long?”

Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. “Hey, hey, hey, make sure you know who saved who! And besides, she has done nothing these few days except munch on fruit!”

“It’s good you woke up,” said Shen Ying. “I made an error in judgement this time. I came too late and caused you to suffer these injuries.”

Lonemoon called her bluff, “Error in judgement, my foot. You obviously lost your way.”

“No, my skills are not up to par hence my serious injuries.. It has nothing to do with Master.” Yi Qing said with a look of determination, “From now on I’ll work doubly hard on my practice so I won’t be a disgrace to Master.”

“You’ve already defeated five men at one go, what else do you want?” said Lonemoon. How could he say his skills were not up to par?

“Well, I believe in you, you can do it!” said Shen Ying giving him an encouraging thump on the shoulder. “Have a good rest so you will recover faster and resume your… practice!”

“That word you meant to say was ‘cooking’, right?” Lonemoon muttered from the side.

“Yes Master! No problem, Master!” Pulling back the covers, Yi Qing lay down obediently.

“Were you two even listening to what I said!”

“Father Niu, can you pass me that plate of fruit?”

“Get lost!”

To hell with this master disciple duo!
