Healing

At the same time, inside of the Origin Sword Sect.

To Xu Yue it seemed as though merely a moment had passed since she had lost consciousness, fighting against her opponent, before she suddenly regained consciousness once again.

Only a fraction of a moment later, Xu Yue opened her eyes, as her spiritual sense suddenly spread out in a small area around herself.

Not even having much time to pay attention to Hulli Jing, who was sitting right behind her, a frown appeared on Xu Yue's pale face, as her body, which had no outer injuries, suddenly began slightly shaking, before immediately disappearing from the room.

At the same time, Xu Yue now appeared inside of a small dimension, her body now returning to it's huge original form.

Without any warning, Xu Yue suddenly began coughing out blood.

With every single cough, an extremely huge amount of blood was ejected from Xu Yue's body, enough to drown thousands of mortal kingdoms and fill up oceans.

As Xu Yue continue coughing out blood, her face slowly but surely regained its color as her internal injuries began once again healing.

After a few minutes, Xu Yue couldn't help but turn her eyes in the direction of her left shoulder, staring at the tiny thing sitting on it.

"You really have a lot of gall, not even coming out to see me even once during your seclusion," said Hulli Jing, who right now was in her extremely tiny, young fox form.

Hearing the words of the little fox, a small smile couldn't help but appear on Xu Yue's face.

"You really haven't changed in the slightest," mumbled Xu Yue as her body suddenly returned to the size of a normal human.

As Xu Yue returned to a more form with a more reasonable size, Hulli Jing then jumped off her shoulder before returning to her human form.

"Do you really think I haven't changed at all, maybe I'm just acting, doing my best to trick you right now, after all we haven't seen each other for thousands of years," said Hulli Jing, whispering in Xu Yue's ear as her hands wrapped around the latter's waist.

"I must admit, it looks like you've gotten quite a bit more daring since we have last met, or at least I think so," said Xu Yue as she stared at Hulli Jing with a smile on her face.

Hearing Xu Yue's words, Hulli Jing couldn't help but lightly smile.

"That's not true, you were the one that changed, you've become more indifferent, I don't think your past self could resist such temptation," said Hulli Jing as she stared at Xu Yue, smiling as her hold on Xu Yue became somewhat tighter.

Hearing Hulli Jing's words, Xu Yue couldn't help but fall into thought as she occasionally stared at her Dao Companion.

"I just wanted to talk with you for a bit and reminiscence over the past, but it looks like if you don't leash them properly from time to time, foxes become somewhat arrogant," mumbled Xu Yue before suddenly grabbing Hulli Jing and placing her over her shoulder.

...

The moment Xu Yue's main body began inspecting the progress of Hulli Jing's cultivation, something suddenly exited her body, appearing inside of Xu Yue's room, sitting cross-legged.

Ignoring the deeds of it's main body, Yue began sinking into her thoughts, as scenes from her fight occasionally flew through her mind.

Ten years passed in a flash, as Yue slowly but surely digested the fighting experience she had obtained in these past few battles.

"A fight to the death is really the best way to make progress," mumbled Yue, or rather Xu Yue, as although normally, these two seemed like separate entities, they were in fact one and the same, merely two sides of the same coin.

Although Xu Yue made great progress while sitting in seclusion, it's speed really paled in comparison with the speed of her improvement through that brief but exciting battle she had just fought in.

"Indulging in pleasure even while injured, what a wastrel," mumbled Yue, letting out a snort as she sensed the state of its main body.

...

"You know, I could have easily waited until you were fully healed," mumbled Hulli Jing as she leaned against Xu Yue, feeling the latter's warmth.

"Don't worry, I just relaxed for a bit, maybe this could have even helped my healing, after all, the state of mind is much more important than the body," said Xu Yue, as she lay in bed feeling Hulli Jing's soft body lean against her own.

Hearing Xu Yue's words, Hulli Jing helplessly shook her head, knowing that no matter what she did, it would not matter anymore.

"Don't worry, I'm going to be fine, no matter how much I heal my physical injuries, It won't matter in the slightest, this is probably more helpful to my state," said Xu Yue as she suddenly kissed Hulli Jing, at this moment, Xu Yue did not care about the injuries the little boy dealt to her existence, she could deal with those later.

Unbeknownst to Xu Yue, at this moment, her temperament seemed different from the past.

...

At this moment, Deng Huiling, who was controlling the formations of the Origin Sword sect suddenly opened her eyes, looking in Xu Yue's direction.

"That's a bit fast," mumbled Deng Huiling as she stared at Xu Yue with some surprise on her face.

Although Xu Yue suffered great physical injuries in her battle with the little boy, the most serious and hidden injuries were buried deep within her existence.

As a True Immortal, although the power of the little boy was restrained greatly, every single one of his attacks directly damaged Xu Yue's existence, this is the reason the attacks of True Immortals are so hard to deal with.

Because of this, Deng Huiling had fed Xu Yue, who had not comprehended her existence, and as such, could not personally heal it, a False-Immortal healing pill, a pill above the normal Saint-Rank, but below the rank of Immortal Pills.

Based on Deng Huiling's estimates, in as little as two or three hundred years, the pill would fully heal Xu Yue's existence, but right now, as she stared at Xu Yue, that estimate was shattered.

"This is really unexpected," mumbled Deng Huiling as she stared at Xu Yue, who right now looked completely indifferent to the mortal world, while at the same time, indulging in that very same mortality.

"How surprised would those guys from the Yin-Yang Temple be if they saw this?" mumbled Deng Huiling before turning her attention away from Xu Yue, falling into thought.
