Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 376: Chapter 375: Immortal Herbs Save Lives

Seeing that the Jade Pendant had no effect, Ye Wantong grew even more anxious.

If Ye Jiansheng couldn’t save a life, wouldn’t she have to watch Su Yang die right here?

In her extreme anxiety, Ye Wantong suddenly remembered something.

Not long after Ye Wantong was born, Ye Jiansheng had found an Immortal Herb from overseas and planted it in a sachet for Ye Wantong to carry with her. According to Ye Jiansheng, Ye Wantong had the Nine Yin Constitution, which could nourish this Immortal Herb. Once Ye Wantong grew up, consuming this Immortal Herb would greatly enhance her cultivation!

Eighteen years had already passed, and Ye Jiansheng had said it was best to nourish the Immortal Herb for twenty years. In another two years, it would be time for Ye Wantong to consume it.

Looking at Su Yang, who was unconscious, Ye Wantong’s heart was torn. After a long struggle, she still clenched her teeth and took out the sachet she wore close to her body.

The sachet hadn’t been opened for eighteen years, but it still shone with dazzling light, thanks to the effect of the Immortal Herb. With it by her side, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted through the air. Just smelling it could refresh one’s spirit and mind.

This Immortal Herb was the Ye Family’s most treasured possession. Ye Wantong was Ye Jiansheng’s most treasured daughter. This Immortal Herb was meant for his beloved daughter.

Remembering her father’s words, Ye Wantong eventually steeled her heart and with gritted teeth opened the sachet.

As soon as the sachet was opened, a faint glow swiftly radiated out. A formidable power instantly illuminated the space around them.

Ye Wantong, just by holding the sachet, felt as if all the pores in her body had opened up, bringing her immense relief.

Upon closer inspection, there was a small plant growing in the sachet. It resembled a wild vegetable, but on the central stem, there was a red fruit. The fruit emitted an enticing aroma, clearly exceptional.

Ye Wantong took a deep breath, plucked the red fruit, and walked over to Su Yang. She crouched down and stuffed the fruit into Su Yang’s mouth.

He had been gravely injured trying to save her, how could she just stand by and do nothing?

As soon as the red fruit entered his mouth, Ye Wantong collapsed to the ground, finally able to catch her breath.

However, her brow quickly furrowed again.

Although the fruit had entered Su Yang’s mouth, it was soon flushed out by his blood.

Now that Su Yang had completely lost consciousness and the ability to swallow, he was even vomiting blood. The fruit went in but couldn’t be swallowed; instead, it was washed out by the blood.

Ye Wantong hurriedly stuffed the fruit back into Su Yang’s mouth several times, but none of the attempts were successful. On her last try, she clenched her teeth, pushed the fruit to the base of Su Yang’s tongue, then covered his mouth, hoping to force him to swallow it down.

This attempt, however, caused Su Yang to choke and even his breathing stopped.

Realizing something was wrong, Ye Wantong was fear-stricken. She quickly pried open Su Yang’s mouth, only to find the fruit stuck in his throat, unremovable and unswallowable, which panicked her even more.

If there were water here, she could use it to flush it down. But in this cave, there was nothing at all!

Seeing Su Yang’s complexion turn red, Ye Wantong suddenly took a deep breath, bent over, and kissed Su Yang on the lips, then exhaled, blowing the fruit in.

After several repeats of this process, the fruit finally settled in his stomach. Ye Wantong’s face turned scarlet, and her ears felt aflame.

In her life, when had she ever been so intimate with any man?

This... was this considered her first kiss? Just like that, it was gone?

Looking at the unconscious Su Yang before her, Ye Wantong’s mind was in utter disarray; she didn’t even know what she was thinking. In fact, she didn’t even know what to do anymore. Her hand was still gripping Su Yang’s hand; she had forgotten to let go, her mind was just racing with wild thoughts.

Time appeared to stand still until finally Su Yang let out a light cough that snapped Ye Wantong back to reality.

”Su Yang, you... you’re awake?” Ye Wantong exclaimed with joy.

Opening his eyes slowly, Su Yang was surprised himself. Based on the injuries he had just suffered, he presumed his life was probably coming to an end here. But why was he still alive? Most importantly, he could clearly feel a strong force within his body that was continuously healing his wounds and replenishing his strength.

That is to say, not only would his injuries heal after this time, but his strength would also increase greatly. What on earth was happening?

”Su Yang, how do you feel?” Ye Wantong asked from beside him, ”Are your injuries getting better?”

Ye Wantong was too excited and had forgotten she was still holding Su Yang’s hand.

Su Yang withdrew his hand, which took Ye Wantong by surprise, leaving her with a flushed face and an inexplicable sense of loss.

Su Yang stood up and looked around; his gaze eventually settled on the sachet beside him.

The lingering scent of the medicine in the sachet reminded him of the similar fragrance in his own mouth. His first thought was that the reason his wounds had healed must be due to eating the fruit borne by the Immortal Herb.

”Was it you who saved me?” Su Yang turned to ask Ye Wantong.

”I... I...” Ye Wantong, with a crimson face, whispered, ”You saved me, so I... I naturally wanted to repay you...”

Staring at the sachet for a while, Su Yang quietly said, ”This Immortal Herb, you’ve nourished it close to you for over a decade, haven’t you?”

Ye Wantong didn’t speak.

Su Yang sighed lightly and said, ”Miss Ye, thank you!”

”I told you, you saved me, so I... I saved you...” Ye Wantong looked up at Su Yang, ”Between the two of us, we are even!”

Su Yang didn’t say anything more, he sat down cross-legged and began to repair his own meridians.

The fruit had the power to heal his injuries, but the process was incredibly slow. Moreover, if the fruit healed on its own, it would consume more Spiritual Energy. If Su Yang guided the healing process himself, he could save a lot of Spiritual Energy. The surplus energy could be used for his own benefit, ensuring that none was wasted!

Standing beside him, Ye Wantong felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart due to Su Yang’s indifference. But she couldn’t say anything because she still remembered the words she had said to Su Yang in the car earlier that day. She regretted them, but she had to stand by her dignity!

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yang finally opened his eyes; his wounds had completely healed, and he looked refreshed and spirited.

Looking around, Su Yang silently calculated for a while before saying, ”Let’s get out of here.”

”With so many rocks piled up here, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to get out,” Ye Wantong said.

”It will take some time, but it’s not difficult,” Su Yang took a deep breath and then said, ”Step back a little.”

Obediently, Ye Wantong stepped back, and Su Yang once again began Operating the Buddhist Secret Method, reciting the Six Syllables Exorcism True Words, and slowly his body grew, manifesting the Arhat Body.

The colossal Arhat Body was like a mighty gigant, with Su Yang reaching out and grasping the heavy boulder, moving it aside effortlessly, bit by bit shifting the heavy stones that were piled on top.
