Chapter 450: Self-Cannibalism; Finally Awake! (1/2)

The matter seemed to have passed. After a simple ceremony, Gu Heng was successfully enthroned. Rewards were given where they were due. Those who had chosen to betray the country also got their punishment.

At the same time, Shang Youdao ushered in his own spring. Even though he hadn’t stepped out, he had funded all of Bai Xiaofei’s activities when he rallied the important officials of Ancient Yue and therefore played a vital role in Gu Heng’s successful counterattack.

Now, it was time for his efforts to be rewarded…

Because of this, Shang Youdao had thoroughly understood Bai Xiaofei’s advice for him before. Windfall from the sky wasn’t a healthy way to earn money. Doing a good job as a businessman and investing reasonably were the key!

However, Shang Youdao was only a small example of the beneficiaries. The large number of people who had upheld justice – such as Commander Kang, Garrison Commander Wang, Hou Jin, and Shen Qiandong, who gave his all to protect the crown prince – all became the pillars of the new generation dynasty.

With the help of these pillars, Gu Heng quickly reorganized the court and led Ancient Yue back onto the right track.

As for the past incident involving Tang Bing, it was sealed by Gu Heng and became a secret to be buried with the consensus of all insiders. Even the civilians who had witnessed that day were given warnings.

There were just some things that the less people knew, the better…

Generally speaking, Gu Heng had been very busy. He only had less than five hours of sleep on average every day. Even in such a situation, he still insisted on visiting Bai Xiaofei and the Thunderstorm Bandits once a day, and each time he sent a large number of tonics and delicacies. This wasn’t ingratiation, but a demonstration of his attitude.

Whether it was Bai Xiaofei’s group or the Thunderstorm Bandits, they might never have anything to do with Ancient Yue again in their life after this period, but Gu Heng still insisted on doing these things. Just like Bai Xiaofei, he didn’t want to let down his own heart.

Meanwhile, compared with the prosperous direction of Ancient Yue, Bai Xiaofei’s situation was rather pessimistic.

Everyone thought that he was merely exhausted. However, they found out during the recuperation that it wasn’t so simple. No matter how exhausted, he should have woken up in one day or two. Yet, he had remained unconscious for more than half a month!

During this period, countless physicians of Ancient Yue had visited, but none could do anything about his situation. As for Zhao Tiantian, she had already given up. She was only a student of the Light of Protection, not the Furnace of Agarwood. She was proficient in using skills to provide treatment, not the physical examination of this sort…

In fact, Bai Xiaofei’s situation was indeed very simple. If someone could use internal sight on his body, they’d understand instantly. The reason why he couldn’t wake up was because he had been seriously drained.

Leng Liuying’s necklace only provided Bai Xiaofei with the opportunity to use Divine Beast Transformation, while the process of transforming and maintaining the transformation consumed energy from his very body. At that moment, Bai Xiaofei had only had two options.

One was to mobilize the energy in his origin core, but he had very quickly dismissed this idea. If he really chose that one, what people would have seen might not be as simple as a raging magical ape…

At a dead end, Bai Xiaofei went with the second option – self-cannibalism!

In addition to storing energy by eating a lot, Devouring the Heaven and Earth also allowed the consumption of one’s own flesh and blood to obtain explosive energy. However, this kind of energy was limited. When the energy in the flesh and blood was exhausted, Bai Xiaofei would end up in his current situation.

If it weren’t for his perverse physique, the coma would last at least two or three months before he could stand up again, while at this moment, Bai Xiaofei had already almost recovered…

“It’s my turn to watch him. Go rest. You don’t want your haggard appearance to be the first thing he sees after opening his eyes,” Bai Ye whispered to Qin Lingyan who had been sitting beside Bai Xiaofei’s bed when he walked into the room with ground meat porridge.
