121 Never Come Again! (2/2)
Despite the pain and discomfort, he was awake. The clarity of his thoughts returned, he was no longer in the misty trance.
However, it hurt, even more, being awake. The pain did not stop at the physical level but it was a much more agonizing pain that came from his heart and sunk right into his soul!
The faces of Supreme Earth and the other brothers were clear before his eyes, the laughter and chiding seemed to echo in his ears; he could still distinctly feel the loving kick in his stomach.
”Roll your way back! Never come back again!”
Yun Yang turned his head, shutting his eyes tightly.
A voice came from his side.
”Boss, you’re finally awake.I've been hanging onto the cliff's edge by the nails these three days, I'm so exhausted!” It was Dong Tianleng who was speaking, ”He’s passed the gate of hell, hasn’t he? How could this be, why did he suddenly get so ill?”
Fang Mofei spoke next, ”We don’t know either. We heard a loud cry from the young master the other day and found him like this. Something probably went wrong in his cultivation…”
”I’ve brought a few recovery medicinal pills anyway, feed him all of it…” Dong Tian Leng's voice was relieved. ”If these don't help, I don't know what can!”
”Thank you for helping in the time of need, Young Master Dong.”
”Don’t mention it, this is my lord! You fellows won’t understand the relationship of us brothers. Forget these pills, even if boss wanted my wife…”
”Cough, cough…”
However tired Yun Yang was, the corners of his lips could not help but twitch with mirth.
This cheap ass!
He then fainted again. This time, the Endless Divine Art finally kicked in and began the process of self-healing.
When Yun Yang woke up again, it was already nightfall.
Dreariness spread within him as the lone lantern shone weakly, illuminating the endlessly dark night.
Yun Yang’s abdomen was warm – three Eclipse Panthers and a Lightning Cat had curled up obediently against him, trying to pass their warmth to their critically wounded master.
When Yun Yang woke up, the first thing he realized was a tiny paw cautiously pulling at his eyelid. When Yun Yang opened his eyes abruptly, the tiny paw was obviously startled as the paw swung down in a scratching motion by instinct. Luckily it stopped in time and halted right in front of Yun Yang’s eyes.
His face had almost been disfigured.
What followed was a delighted meow.
Four snow-white heads stretched their necks to look over.
When they were certain that Yun Yang had really opened his eyes, they mewled together and sprung up simultaneously, doing somersaults in the air. Their tails swished around in joy as they expressed their happiness however they could as if the emotion was going to consume them.
One of them had even shot out of the door.
Soon, he saw Fang Mofei walking in with his hair being painfully tugged by the Eclipse Panther that had left as he begged for mercy, ”Okay, my young lord, here I come… Don’t pull anymore! Stop that! My hair’s falling off! Young master, are you awake?”
Yun Yang smiled as he blinked slowly.
He could clearly feel himself getting better, the searing pain had been reduced by half. Although he was still in agony, he no longer needed to escape it by losing consciousness again. The Endless Divine Art was operating in him as his dantian had begun working as well.
Yun Yang could also feel Emmie being unusually weak in his subconscious. It was extremely slow in retracting its tendrils and curling them up, its leaves flopping down as it absorbed the energy to nourish itself instead.
It was obvious that Emmie was his biggest savior in his efforts to recuperate. However, Emmie had fully expended itself as its basic Qi was greatly damaged.
Fang Mofei hoisted Yun Yang up and carefully passed a bowl of medicinal paste over. ”This was concocted from the five hundred-year-old blood lingzhi mushroom that Qiu Yunsan sent over this morning and the royal spiritual juice that Chun Wanfeng provided. Young master, drink it quicky. It is of utmost importance that we nourish your basic Qi right now.”
Yun Yang swallowed the medicine in small gulps.
Once the medicinal paste was ingested, he felt a surge of spiritual energy flowing through his entire body. The feeble energy in his dantian increased in its wake too. Slowly, the numbness engulfing his limbs vanished.
He was in a better state at almost immediately.
Closing his eyes, he said softly, ”This medicine has extraordinary effects. I am beginning to feel better already.”
Even his speech was much clearer.
Fang Mofei was delighted as he said, ”Great, this is wonderful! I shall go inform Lao Mei now. He has almost worked himself to death these past few days.”
He then left in a hurry.
Yun Yang shut his eyes as he laid down quietly, with a troubled heart.
This sudden injury of his had caused him to be in debt to so many parties. Just the four noble young masters alone had probably taken out their well-kept gems.
One could see the larger picture by looking at the small hints; the five hundred-year-old blood lingzhi mushroom and the royal spiritual juice were already extremely rare.
It was not impossible to find a five hundred-year-old lingzhi mushroom, but to get a blood lingzhi mushroom… Even to find one that was a hundred years old was a miracle in itself.
As for the royal spiritual juice, it was an even better medicine of magical potency.
In addition to Dong Tianleng’s medicinal pills earlier,these were probably life-saving items the four noble families had given the young masters in case of emergencies.
Furthermore, his injury this time had also fully proven Fang Mofei and Lao Mei’s reliability!
