Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2390: Chapter 2389: Sudden Change, He Reaped the Benefits

Bai Ruozhu felt a twinge of pain just hearing that sound, but Gao Zhou didn’t have any reaction at all. It’s no wonder he used to be a specialized surgeon.

Duannian’s face turned a few shades paler. Even though Bai Ruozhu had helped him with needles to stop the pain, he couldn’t completely escape from feeling it. One would imagine he must be in discomfort at the moment.

Before Bai Ruozhu could think more about it, suddenly a dazzling light burst from Duannian’s wound, scaring both Bai Ruozhu and Gao Zhou to step back in tandem.

”What’s going on?” Gao Zhou shouted.

Duannian was also taken aback. The light hadn’t dissipated yet, and he was already stunned.

”I feel my inner strength and essence are rapidly depleting, I...” Duannian’s voice trembled slightly, revealing the panic in his heart at this moment.

As a Merfolk, he was naturally stronger than ordinary human experts. So almost before they could walk, they started cultivating their inner strength and essence.

The inner strength was like what Jiang Yichun and Mo Beishan cultivated, and the essence was akin to what Bai Ruozhu practiced with magic techniques. But the usage of Merfolk essence differed from magic techniques, presumably to facilitate their own innate abilities.

But now that Duannian’s inner strength and essence were depleting, could cutting off his tail mean he would lose all his power?

The golden light aimed skyward, but fortunately, Yuan Licheng had set up an array early on, and the golden light struck the array, unable to escape for the moment.

But it seemed to have a life of its own, struggling within the array to find a way out.

”Quick, catch it!” Bai Ruozhu reacted, hastily calling out to Duannian.

Duannian’s tail still hurt terribly, and without water, he couldn’t move freely, so how could he catch this agile being?

Yuan Licheng then spoke up, ”Hurry, it will take at most 15 minutes for it to break through the array.”

He had only set up a simple array, not expecting to encounter such a situation, and now he had to concentrate on maintaining the array without distractions.

”Everyone, help catch it!” Gao Zhou shouted.

The group cooperated seamlessly, each guarding a direction, trapping the golden light in the center. The golden light moved swiftly but was caught in one hand by Qiu Zhiyi.

”It’s really strong!” Qiu Zhi was knocked down, and the golden light in his hand found an opportunity to escape.

Tang Feng also rushed forward, but unfortunately, the golden light was very nimble this time and slipped under his crotch to the side.

Jiang Yichun seized the opportunity, condensing water in his hand, grabbed the golden light, and wrapped it in water.

”Got it,” he said with a hint of excitement in his voice, ”what should we do now?”

Everyone looked to Duannian, who was just as confused, ”I don’t know either.”

Jiang Yichun went up to him with the golden light, trying to push it back into the cut tail fin, but it was futile.

”Have him swallow it.” Bai Ruozhu suggested brilliantly.

There was no choice but to try.

Jiang Yichun shoved the golden light into Duannian’s mouth, but as soon as his hand was about to pull away, the golden light clung onto his hand, with a part attaching to his palm, darting quickly into his body.

”What’s happening?” Jiang Yichun was stunned, and quickly he felt something different about his body, like an additional force, and his ability to control water became more pronounced.

The golden light in Duannian’s mouth was also swallowed, and his complexion slowly recovered. He took a deep breath and said, ”Fortunately, I haven’t lost all my power.”

Bai Ruozhu quickly checked Jiang Yichun’s condition, asking worriedly, ”Achun, do you feel any discomfort?”

Jiang Yichun shook his head, ”I seem to have gained some of his power, how do I get it out?”

Duannian waved his hand, saying, ”No need, I’m content just not becoming a cripple; a bit of my power doesn’t matter, I can just practice more.”

”But how did your power turn into a golden light and run out? And still get into Achun’s body?” Gao Zhou asked, somewhat worried.

”I don’t know either, probably because I can control water, and so can he. Our innate abilities must resonate in some way.” Duannian speculated, but as for the spirited golden light, he wasn’t sure himself.

Bai Ruozhu was the first to regain her composure, hurriedly bandaging Duannian, ”As long as we’re okay, it was a scare, but no danger.”

Yuan Licheng sat down heavily on the ground, the array completely disappeared.

Gao Zhou put away the surgical scissors and said to Duannian, ”Take good care of the wound, don’t get it wet...”

Halfway through, he realized, Duannian lives in water, how can he not get wet?

”I’ll add some medicine to his water to prevent infection,” Bai Ruozhu quickly said.

Gao Zhou nodded, it was the only option.

Several men helped put Duannian back into the big bathtub.

Just then, the door was burst open, Wa Wei rushed in, her eyes swollen like little peaches.

”Duannian, are you crazy? Cutting off your tail, I don’t mind it at all!” she shouted angrily.

Duannian, somewhat weak, smiled and said, ”But I mind myself, and I also want to go ashore and see the world, the sea is wide but too boring.”

Wa Wei was stunned for a moment, then started crying loudly, ”But you can’t take such risks, what would I do if something happened to you?”

Bai Ruozhu exchanged glances with the others, and they all quietly withdrew, leaving the couple to talk it out slowly.

Qiu Zhi stood awkwardly, not moving, until Yuan Licheng tugged him out, whispering as soon as they got outside, ”You have no tact, no wonder you can’t get a wife.”

Qiu Zhi’s face turned red, ”I’m a Daoist, I’m not supposed to marry.”

”You chose well by becoming a Daoist, otherwise you’d be worried about not being able to marry,” Yuan Licheng said and then laughed heartily as he walked away.

After the upheaval, Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun returned to their room to rest.

Jiang Yichun looked embarrassed, ”I’m a bit sorry about this, it feels like I took advantage of a child.”

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh out loud, ”This is just fate playing tricks; it’s not like you wanted it. You can return the favor when the chance comes.”

Jiang Yichun nodded, ”Yes, there’s no other way.”

Bai Ruozhu looked at her clothes, noticing they were damp in places from the water Duannian had splashed.

”Let’s soak in the hot spring, it’s a good time to change clothes,” she said, pulling Jiang Yichun’s hand and entering the space.

Jiang Yichun also took off his clothes and entered the hot spring pool, with the spring eye cheerfully bubbling in the water. Bai Ruozhu tried to communicate with it, but unfortunately, the guy wasn’t talking like last time.

Soaking in the hot spring pool, they quickly felt much more comfortable all over. Bai Ruozhu yawned, feeling a bit drowsy.

Jiang Yichun laughed as he supported her, ”Go up and rest, it’s not good to fall asleep in the water.”

”Mm.” Bai Ruozhu nodded, getting up to climb out. Jiang Yichun helped her up, and suddenly, a splash of water hit Bai Ruozhu on the shore.

Bai Ruozhu turned and complained, ”You told me to rest, why are you splashing water on me?”

In that instant of turning around, her expression changed dramatically, her eyes wide open...
