Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 149: Chapter 148: Mutual Affection

Soon, Ling Fei finished applying the medicine to Shangguan Wan’Er.

However, these medicinal herbs couldn’t heal her instantly.

This was especially true for the damaged meridians and bones inside her body.

If Shangguan Wan’Er could move freely, she could have nourished them with her own True Qi.

But as it happened, she was currently immobile.

”I’ll help you repair the meridians and bones in your body.” Ling Fei’s gaze sharpened as he resolved to heal Shangguan Wan’Er.

”Okay!” Shangguan Wan’Er nodded. She seemed very compliant, a completely different person from her former cold and stunning self.

At this moment, she was like a little sister from next door, revealing her gentle side.

Then, Ling Fei helped Shangguan Wan’Er sit up in a cross-legged position.

Once Shangguan Wan’Er was seated, Ling Fei circulated the True Qi in his body, moved his palm, and pressed it against her back.

”I’m starting to send my True Qi into your body now,” Ling Fei said as his palm rested on Shangguan Wan’Er’s back.

”Mhm,” Shangguan Wan’Er replied. ”I’m ready. Guide your True Qi.”

”Alright!” Ling Fei nodded.

Immediately, with a thought from his Heart Spirit, he separated the Cold Intent from his True Qi, injecting only the Dragon Qi into Shangguan Wan’Er’s body.

’Back when I was injured, the Dragon Qi healed my body very quickly. I wonder if it can nourish Miss Wan’Er’s flesh and blood.’ Ling Fei’s face was full of anticipation. If it worked, Shangguan Wan’Er’s injuries would heal easily. That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about implicating her again.

The Dragon Qi flowed into Shangguan Wan’Er’s body.

First, Shangguan Wan’Er and Ling Fei worked together, guiding this True Qi to unblock her clogged meridians.

Once her meridians were clear, Shangguan Wan’Er could faintly guide the True Qi to temper her meridians and bones, slowly repairing them. ℯℯ𝘭.

Under the tempering of the Dragon Qi, Shangguan Wan’Er’s meridians absorbed it with great thirst. The cracked meridians began to heal continuously.

The Dragon Qi was actually repairing her meridians and bones.

However, Shangguan Wan’Er couldn’t absorb this Dragon Qi for herself.

’It’s working.’ Seeing this, Ling Fei was overjoyed. ’The Dragon Qi truly is a transcendent energy, possessing mystical abilities.’

’It’s healing so quickly?’ Shangguan Wan’Er was also stunned as she felt the meridians within her mending.

After that, she didn’t dare to rest, continuously cooperating with Ling Fei to temper her meridians and bones.

Just like that, time trickled by, and Shangguan Wan’Er’s injuries gradually recovered.

From the internal meridians and bones, Ling Fei’s Dragon Qi was finally guided to Shangguan Wan’Er’s external wounds.

Nourished by the Dragon Qi, new flesh grew, and the wounds healed.

The numerous pains dissipated bit by bit.

Even Shangguan Wan’Er was taken aback by this speed.

Even applying Muscle Regeneration Powder didn’t have such a miraculous effect!

’Young Master Ling Fei’s True Qi is very peculiar. It seems to have healing properties,’ Shangguan Wan’Er thought, her heart stirring.

Unconsciously, her estimation of Ling Fei rose yet again.

This young man was even more mysterious than she had imagined.

Three hours later, Shangguan Wan’Er’s injuries had surprisingly healed completely. Her meridians and flesh were all mended.

The Gang Qi in her body began to circulate normally. Her complexion was no longer so pale, and she gradually regained some of her Blood Qi.

Then, she took out a Spiritual Essence from her Sodium Ring and began to replenish her Blood Qi.

A moment later, the color returned to Shangguan Wan’Er’s face. She looked almost no different from before she was injured.

Afterward, she took out her own clothes, preparing to wash up and change.

Now that her wounds were healed, she could wash off the dregs of the medicine.

Ling Fei understood and walked out of the Cold Cave.

After a glance at Ling Fei, Shangguan Wan’Er entered the pool to wash herself.

The area was very cold, but the pool was like a hot spring.

While washing, Shangguan Wan’Er couldn’t help but recall the recent scenes.

Even though her eyes had been closed, she could still imagine the scene of Ling Fei applying medicine to her.

’I wonder what he was thinking then?’ She looked at her own smooth skin, her thoughts in turmoil. Now, the wounds had healed, the scabs had fallen off, and not even a scar remained. The recovery was far beyond the effects of ordinary Muscle Regeneration Powder, which made Shangguan Wan’Er inwardly delighted.

’Thank goodness, there are no scars.’

A short while later, Shangguan Wan’Er collected her thoughts. With a wave of her fair hand, a light gauze floated over from the edge of the pool. With a slight movement, she wrapped it around her body.

Soon, Shangguan Wan’Er had changed into a set of white robes.

Water droplets slid down Shangguan Wan’Er’s neck, and her beautiful hair was slightly damp. At a glance, she looked just like a Divine Maiden in white, fresh from her bath.

Then, she shook her long hair and, with graceful, lotus-like steps, walked toward the cave entrance.

The young woman’s fragrance was intoxicating. Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit stirred; it was the first time he had ever smelled such a rich and wonderful feminine scent.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head and couldn’t help but gaze at the approaching Shangguan Wan’Er.

Upon seeing Shangguan Wan’Er dressed in white, Ling Fei was stunned.

The woman before him was clad in white robes that trailed on the ground. As she moved with her lotus-like steps, she resembled a Divine Maiden descending to the mortal world. Her features were picturesque, her clear eyes like autumn pools. Her exquisitely beautiful face held a touch of cold glamour, and her delicate nose was tilted up slightly, like that of a proud swan. It gave her beauty an air of arrogance that made one feel an urge to conquer her.

Yet the aura she exuded seemed to keep people at a distance, making them hesitate to approach.

However, at this moment, this peerless beauty was walking toward Ling Fei.

Their gazes met. Neither looked away; they just stared at each other.

Shangguan Wan’Er approached, step by step.

Finally, she stopped about a foot away from Ling Fei. Her fragrance wafted over, completely enveloping him in that captivating scent.

”You’re done washing,” Ling Fei asked as Shangguan Wan’Er came to a stop.

The way they acted, it was as if they were old friends, without much awkwardness.

Shangguan Wan’Er nodded slightly. Her usually cool eyes blinked as she gazed at the young man before her.

After a moment, she finally spoke. ”Back then, at the Xiling Ruins, why did you abandon me and choose to leave alone?”

Ever since she came out, she had been wanting to ask him this face-to-face.

Later, she learned that Ling Fei had killed the Dongyang Crown Prince and had guessed some of the reason.

However, she still wanted to hear Ling Fei’s explanation personally. Otherwise, a lingering obsession would remain in her heart, something she couldn’t let go of.

”I killed Wang Dongyang and the others, so I was in a hurry to get out and deal with the matter. You were still unconscious at the time, so I didn’t tell you,” Ling Fei said.

In truth, he was worried about his adoptive father.

He was afraid that if word got out, his adoptive father wouldn’t receive his message and fail to escape the Empire in time.

But after getting out, he discovered just how powerless he was. He wanted to inform his adoptive father, but he couldn’t.

Hearing Ling Fei’s words, Shangguan Wan’Er’s obsession finally dissipated.

Even if the young man had left alone back then because he didn’t consider her one of his own, it didn’t matter anymore.

Because when she was severely injured this time, the anguish in Ling Fei’s voice had already given her a strange sense of satisfaction.

”This time, why did you have to block that sword for me? If you had died, how would I have explained it to Lord Shangguan?” As the expression on Shangguan Wan’Er’s face softened with relief, Ling Fei’s gaze sharpened. He stared at the young woman before him and asked the question. This was something he really wanted to ask, even if there was no special answer.

But he just wanted to ask.

”I saw you were in a bad situation, so I acted. Besides, you saved me once before. Isn’t it normal for me to save you this time?” Shangguan Wan’Er gave a rare, radiant smile. At the same time, she toyed with her still-damp hair with a fair hand. Her flirtatious charm made Ling Fei stare, dumbfounded.

Shangguan Wan’Er’s smile made Ling Fei feel incredibly happy and at ease.

Although the woman hadn’t said it explicitly.

But life is so precious; who would be willing to risk their own life to save another?

This was a debt of gratitude that Ling Fei would remember for the rest of his life.
