Chapter 130: I've Always Been Too Softhearted

”What in the world?” Bu Fang thought as he suspiciously gave Ni Yan a glance and then his gaze landed on the figure lying on the ground, who was at death's doorstep. He could not help but be surprised. ”Isn't this Ji Chengxue? Why is he in such a miserable state?”

After placing the cup on a table, Bu Fang helped Ji Chengxue up and Ouyang Xiaoyi hurriedly ran over to help as well. They moved Ji Chengxue onto a chair so that he could comfortably lie down.

”What happened?” After performing all of these actions, only then did Bu Fang expressionlessly look toward Ni Yan who was standing at the doorway with a frown.

”What else could have happened? This fellow was ambushed. He was lucky that I was there, otherwise he would already be long dead,” Ni Yan said as she gave Ji Chengxue a glance and sympathetically shook her head.

”King Yu brought his little partners from the sects to surround Ji Chengxue, but Ji Chengxue's subordinate protected him and allowed him to escape. As a result, he ran into King Yu and was almost beaten to death. Luckily for him, Xiao Meng's appearance saved him. In the end, he was unlucky enough to run into Zhao Musheng...” Ni Yan briefly narrated Ji Chengxue's ordeal.

The corner of Bu Fang's mouth twitched as he thought, ”This Ji Chengxue truly is unlucky. What exactly did he do to incur so much resentment that they want to kill him so much?”

”Just what sort of outrageous deed did he commit?” Bu Fang asked once more as he gave Ji Chengxue a glance, noticing he was bleeding from all of his facial orifices.

At that moment, Ni Yan's expression became strange as well, seemingly wanting to laugh but being unable to do so. She said, ”He didn't do any outrageous deeds. He only snatched the throne from both of his elder brothers that's all. The emperor's posthumous edict had just pronounced him as the successor. Therefore, he's going to be the future emperor of the Light Wind Empire… Of course, the precondition is that he has to survive first.”

Bu Fang understood the situation in a flash. When Ji Chengxue, who was originally the least regarded among his brothers, unexpectedly became the successor to the throne, those brothers of his were naturally infuriated from the embarrassment. Without possessing the corresponding strength, he obtained something he should not have. This was the so-called, ”Wealth leads to disaster”.

”Then why did you bring him here? This is a restaurant, not a hospital,” Bu Fang seriously asked as he expressionlessly looked at Ni Yan.

Ni Yan's slightly narrowed and seemingly turned into adorable crescent moons. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile as she said, ”If I send him to a hospital with his injuries, he'll be dead for sure. After getting hit by a secret technique from the Mahayama Island, even a divine doctor would have difficulty in saving him.”

”Don't count on saving him with an elixir cuisine. The two types of elixir cuisine that I can cook won't be able to treat his injuries,” Bu Fang replied.

Ni Yan attentively stared at Bu Fang as her rosy tongue ran over her delicate lips and she said, ”Since the elixir cuisine wouldn't work… Don't you have a spirit herb? Using a seventh grade spirit herb like the Phoenix Blood Herb to treat this sort of injuries should be more than enough.

”Actually, a single section should be enough,” Ni Yan said.

Bu Fang broke into a grin. As he had expected, this woman was aiming for his Phoenix Blood Herb. After coming in contact with the blood of the Ancient Phoenix, the seventh grade spirit herb Phoenix Blood Herb possessed exceptional restorative effects and was indeed the best choice for saving Ji Chengxue at that moment.

However, Bu Fang was feeling somewhat hesitant. His original intention for holding onto the Phoenix Blood Herb was for the sake of brewing a wine that could surpass the ”Dragon's Breath”. After all, a seventh grade spirit herb was not so easy to find.

”Isn't your objective to obtain the Phoenix Blood Herb? If I were to use the Phoenix Blood Herb to save him, wouldn't you need it anymore?” Bu Fang puzzledly asked.

Ni Yan gave him a bright smile as she pointed at Ji Chengxue and said, ”It's rare for me to be able to get away from the sect, so how could my objective be just to obtain the Phoenix Blood Herb? Just use it to save him, I won't feel anguished about it. There's still quite an amount of seventh grade spirit herbs back at our sect.”

Bu Fang expressionlessly thought, ”You won't feel anguished… but I would.”

Bu Fang could not be bothered to say anything else to this woman. His gaze landed on Ji Chengxue who was at death's doorstep. As he looked at this handsome man who was usually gentle and refined but was now on the verge of death, he could not help but let out a sigh.

”I've always been too softhearted,” Bu Fang thought with a sigh.

Thereafter, he had Ouyang Xiaoyi look after Ji Chengxue while he headed toward the kitchen. In the end, he could not just watch as someone died in front of him. Even if he was the type of person who disregarded human life, he still had to help as Ji Chengxue was his longtime customer.
