Recovery

At this time, Ye Wuchen and Ye Ningxue were lying together, their faces serene and calm. Old Master Long said in a low voice, "The Heavenly Beast's egg contains real congenital Qi. Ordinary people can greatly improve their cultivation if they eat it, and people who are about to die can live for more than ten days if they eat it. Young man, Ning Xue snatched this from the hands of a Heavenly Beast, the Blazing Sky Bird. For you, this child is willing to give up her life. In these last few days, you must not let her down. "

His voice was very low, but it still woke up Ningxue, who was in a tense state. She opened her eyes, then slowly sat up and looked at Wuchen in a daze. Old Master Long was suddenly flustered. He quickly put down the small bowl and said worriedly, "My dear girl, I beg you to rest a little longer. Your little body really can't hold on anymore."

Ningxue shook her head gently, and a smile appeared on her pale face. "Grandpa, I'm fine. I don't dare to sleep … I'm afraid that if I sleep for too long, I won't be able to see my brother again."

"…"

"Grandpa, I heard what you just said. Is that something that can save my brother?" Ningxue pointed to the small bowl.

"Well, drink it, he should … will definitely be fine."

"Then … can I feed my brother?"

Old Man Long was stunned. Then, he chuckled and placed the small bowl and spoon in front of Ning Xue.

The liquid in the bowl was colorless and tasteless, just like clear water. Ningxue used the spoon to bring a little bit of it to Ye Wuchen's lips, and slowly tilted it. However, in a coma, he had no ability to swallow it. The water column first dripped drop by drop, then converged into a water line and slid down the corner of his mouth. He tried twice, but not much entered his mouth.

Ningxue was so anxious that she almost cried, because every drop was something that could save her brother's life.

She put down the spoon, picked up the small bowl, and took a small sip. Then, she bent down and used both hands to gently open Wuchen's lips. She pressed her lips against his and let the water drip in bit by bit. Then, she blew gently, letting it slowly flow into his body.

Raising her head, she looked at him and smiled foolishly. "Brother, you said that you would protect me for the rest of my life … When you can't protect me anymore, let me protect you."

Long Zheng Yang turned and silently left. Elder Long also silently stood up and silently walked out of the room.

Standing in the courtyard, Long Zheng Yang looked up at the sky, not knowing what he was looking at. Old Master Long walked to his side and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking … compared to arson and murder, letting down a girl like her is the greatest sin, even though she's only a 10-year-old girl." Long Zheng Yang sighed as he spoke.

"Haha, don't worry. If it wasn't for that young man treating Ningxue so well, that girl Ningxue wouldn't have treated him like this. Yang 'Er, remember, if you want someone to treat you wholeheartedly, you must first treat them wholeheartedly. "

Long Zheng Yang nodded.

"However, grandpa, is she really only a 10-year-old girl?"

"… That's a good question. Is she really only 10 years old?" Elder Long shook his head. Even he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Within the dark world, he silently listened to the sounds of the outside world. At the same time, a familiar yet distant voice sounded out in his mind …

"… If we want to improve our abilities, we need to have enough spirit, and at the same time, we need to have enough heart. Spirit refers to the spirit of the heavens and earth. Spirit can be absorbed from the heavens and earth, and it will increase every minute and second, or it can be directly injected into the body. As for the heart, it refers to the state of mind. It must experience life and death, hope, and obsession. When both the spirit and the heart are strong enough, it will naturally improve … "

Life and death, hope, obsession …

Wasn't this what he had been experiencing over the past day and two nights? He had been hovering on the brink of death, and had hope time and time again. For Ningxue, he had stubbornly held on to his last breath … didn't this mean that his state of mind had been tempered enough, and all he lacked was the so-called spirit?

A soft warmth spread from his body, and a trace of coolness flowed from his lips into his body. As they flowed in, the aura protecting his five viscera and six bowels suddenly strengthened, and the dozen or so auras that were crazily colliding with him also eased up.

As the coolness flowed in, the aura protecting him became stronger and stronger, while the chaotic aura became gentler and gentler, until it lay dormant in a corner of his body. At this moment, he felt as if a string in his heart had snapped. From the space around him, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi madly flowed into his body, repairing all of the abnormalities in his body.

Was that … spirit?

Was it the spirit that Ningxue gave him?

Right now, could he be called the second level of the Wuchen Technique? If he wanted to reach the third level, would he need even more Heaven and Earth Essence Qi?

Tears blurred Ningxue's eyes, making it so that she didn't notice that his face had started to become red again. Even his aura had started to return to normal, and was becoming more and more stable.

His organs, which had been knocked out of place, had already automatically recovered, and he no longer felt any pain. Moreover, the mysterious aura within him had become many times denser. He opened his eyes and stretched out his hands, tightly hugging Ningxue, who was pressing her lips against his.

Ningxue's eyes widened, and she leapt into his embrace as she burst into tears. It was as if she was releasing all of the fear, pain, and despair she had felt.

Her cries caused Elder Long and Long Zheng Yang's expressions to change, and they thought that Ye Wuchen had breathed his last. They hurriedly rushed into the room, and just as they opened the curtains, they found the young man, who had been lying on the bed, smiling as he stood in front of them. His face and body didn't look weak at all, and he was hugging Ningxue, who was crying on his shoulders.

Ye Wuchen smiled at them, "Elder Long, big brother Long, I can't thank you enough. In the future, I, Ye Wuchen, will definitely do something for your Long family."

Right now, they didn't really care about this promise of his. However, in a few years, they would know how much wealth and glory it would be to receive a promise from him.

"Young man, what's wrong?" Elder Long asked in surprise.

"I've completely recovered. Thank you for saving my life," Ye Wuchen smiled as he replied.

"You've … completely recovered?" Elder Long couldn't believe his ears. However, he wasn't an ordinary person, and quickly laughed as he said, "There's no need to thank us. If you want to thank someone, thank your little sister. She was willing to do anything for you."
