Bitao spent a total of seven days to heal Feng Ying’s meridians. His burnt body finally regained some of its colour. He was now looking more alert as well.

Bitao wiped the perspiration from his forehead and started to exit the room. Just as he stepped out, he noticed that there were several people in the yard who were… eating non-stop in the name of waiting for him to finish his work. Didn’t they say that Feng Ying was their friend? Why did it seem like only Bitao was worried for Feng Ying’s well-being?

“Great… Sect Master,” Bitao sighed as he stepped in front of her. “I’ve already healed his meridians, but the Lightning Tribulation has injured his foundation. Given my cultivation, I cannot treat his foundation now. He will need to rest and adjust his own foundation.” Bitao was only a Mystic Immortal, and a newly-ascended one at that. Only Exalted Immortals could help to heal another person’s foundation.”

“Oh… Thank you for your hard work.” Shen Ying nodded and took another bite out of the fruit in her hand. That was when she noticed Feng Ying walking toward them. Indeed, the familiar-sounding system sounded at once.

[Ding! Detected: The host’s body is 88 percent healed. Mission: showing gratitude is an age-old value. Host, please use the next minute to thank Badass for her benevolence.”]

Feng Ying lost his footing and almost fell to his knees once more. However, he caught himself and remained on his own two feet. Inside his heart, he cursed and swore at the system. he turned around to face Bitao, cupped his fists and said, “Thank you for all your help, Fellow Immortal Bitao. I will repay you personally.”

“Do not stand on ceremony, Fellow Immortal.” Bitao cupped his fists in return and said, “I was only acting on Sect Master’s orders.”

It was only then that Feng Ying turned around and strode right past Shen Ying. He reached out and held Chengyu’s hand, saying, “Little Yu, did I scare you? I’m sorry to worry you, but I’m alright now.”

“Er…” Qi Chengyu paused halfway as she was adding food to Shen Ying’s bowl. Actually… she was not too worried. She had found Shen Ying afterall. “You.. I’m glad you’re alright. It was all thanks to Shen Ying, otherwise we…”

She did not finish speaking. She just turned to Shen Ying, heart filled with gratitude. Feng Ying unwillingly faced Shen Ying and mumbled, “Thanks.”

“No worries, baby.” Afterall, she had not done anything.

Feng Ying’s mouth twitched. Who’s the baby!

[Ding! Host: Baby. Reading information. Should I present them?]

“…”

He hated this parenting system!

“Tower Master Feng 1 ,” Yi Qing greeted, stepping forward. He intentionally stepped between Feng Ying and Shen Ying.

“…” You are the crazy tower master. Your entire family is filled with crazy tower masters. How many times must I say that I’m Tower Master Ying?”

“Let’s talk about her. What are your plans?” Yi Qing glanced at Qi Chengyu. He could not read her situation because she only had a spirit. Feng Ying must not have had the intention of leaving her to remain as a spirit if he decided to bring her to the immortal realm.

Feng Ying frowned and exchanged a look with Qi Chengyu. Then, he nodded and said, “Initially, I helped Little Yu’s spirit out of her body in order to save her, but for some reason.. her spirit can’t return to her body anymore.”

He cast a spell and closed his eyes, touching a finger to his forehead. There was a flash of white light. He waved toward the ground next to him and a red-robed figure appeared, lying on the floor. It was Roasted Chicken Gal’s body.

[Ding! Item successfully retrieved from the system storage!]

That position…

“You took her body and kept it in your own consciousness!” Bitao exclaimed, looking at him as if he were stupid. The consciousness was such an important place. It was second only to one’s very soul. If any foreign object or even aura entered one’s consciousness, one would feel unbearable pain.

“No!” Feng Ying shook his head and turned to face Shen Ying. He explained no further. It really was not his consciousness – he only stored the body in the system. He used both his consciousness and his spirit Qi to protect Little Yu’s body.
