Chapter 1052 - 1050: You Go Ahead and Eat First
"Relax a little, it’s okay, I’ll start by treating the wound under your ribs," Lin Feng said lightly, looking at Xia Lalan’s tense demeanor. Indeed, with her muscles so stiff, making her wounds easier to heal wasn’t going to be an easy task.
"I... I understand..." Xia Lalan responded in a tiny voice, her head hanging even lower, wishing she could just hide her face. It wasn’t her fault, after all; she didn’t know how to relax...
Never mind, it will have to do.
Seeing Xia Lalan like this, Lin Feng understood what was going on, shook his head, and stopped paying attention to her, beginning to treat her wounds. The wound wasn’t very long, but with Xia Lalan so tense, the surrounding muscles were extremely stiff. Although he could deal with it, it was time-consuming. But now, since Xia Lalan was utterly unable to relax, he had no choice but to carry on treating her wounds as they were.
As blood kept streaming from the wound, Lin Feng first took out several silver needles and sealed the surrounding meridians with a flick of his hand to stop the bleeding. Then, to make his work easier, Lin Feng casually tore open the already split inner armor a bit more.
This action made Xia Lalan even more nervous. Her heart was thumping wildly, fearing that if Lin Feng used too much force, the entire inner armor would tear, exposing everything to Lin Feng...
Of course, Lin Feng would never do such a thing. He was just trying to treat Xia Lalan’s wound. Then, Lin Feng took out some medicinal powder, sprinkled it on the wound, and touched Xia Lalan’s injured spot, beginning to knead it.
This kind of touch made Xia Lalan dare not move at all. Feeling Lin Feng’s hands healing and moving on her skin filled her with an unbearable sense of shame. Even though she knew Lin Feng was treating her wounds, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, hoping that Lin Feng would finish quickly and end this torturous process.
Lin Feng worked swiftly; in no time, he had healed the wound. It no longer bled, and there were no visible signs of any injury on the surface. After treating it, he waved his hand to remove the needles and finally said to Xia Lalan, "All done, no more problems."
That fast?
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xia Lalan finally snapped back to reality, thinking how incredibly fast Lin Feng’s treatment was. Just a few touches, and the wound was healed, how could this be!
Thinking this, she looked down at the wound. The sight made her dumbfounded; not only had the bleeding stopped, but the once profusely bleeding wound left no trace of ever existing. If not for the surrounding bloodstains, she would have doubted there was ever a wound there!
How... how can this be!
Staring at the wound, Xia Lalan became completely dazed, speechless, and stunned by the sight of the now vanished injury. She couldn’t comprehend how Lin Feng did it, thinking that Lin Feng’s medical skills were too miraculous. Such a severe wound was healed in the blink of an eye, not even leaving a scar... This was beyond human capability, even the most prodigious healer in the Hidden World, Immortal Wang, couldn’t possibly do this...
"Don’t space out, now I’ll treat the wound on your leg. As you can see, it’s been poisoned, making it more troublesome. Please endure if it gets too uncomfortable," Lin Feng said while Xia Lalan was still dazed, shaking his head and speaking again. The wound on her leg was much more of a problem since it had been poisoned, and he needed to draw the poison out.
Without waiting for Xia Lalan’s reaction, Lin Feng lifted her long skirt and touched the poisoned wound, tearing open the material around the injured area with a soft sound.
At this moment, Xia Lalan’s heart skipped a beat. Although she knew Lin Feng was doing it for her benefit, as he tore the material, she immediately covered the area, fearful that Lin Feng would see something he shouldn’t. Her face turned even redder...
Meanwhile, Lin Feng’s expression was very serious. The injured area had swelled and turned black. The poisoned surface area was significant, indicating the poison’s strength. Thinking of this, Lin Feng waved his hand, and several more silver needles flew out, sealing the meridians around the wound to prevent the spread of the poison.
Then, Lin Feng’s hand moved toward Xia Lalan’s injured area, causing her to shudder and not dare to look. This area was too private, utterly embarrassing for Lin Feng to touch. Her cheeks turned as red as a ripe apple, and her body temperature was rapidly rising...
But just as Xia Lalan was about to close her eyes, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Lin Feng’s hand hadn’t touched the wound on her thigh. Instead, it hovered just above. At the same time, some golden strands of Gang Qi radiated from Lin Feng’s hand, like living things, pricking into the poisoned area.
What... What is this...
Seeing this scene, Xia Lalan was completely dumbfounded. She had never imagined that Lin Feng could emit thread-like Gang Qi that moved like living creatures. The scene was too bizarre, unprecedented even in stories—truly beyond the realm of human capability!
But just as she was overwhelmed with amazement, she felt a warm and extremely comfortable sensation coming from the wound on her thigh. It was a feeling she wished could last forever, an indescribable comfort that no one could resist.
At this moment, Lin Feng’s expression had relaxed considerably. Through his Gang Qi, he knew that the poison in Xia Lalan’s body had not spread too much. It was fortunate that he had arrived right after she was poisoned, or else even he would have had a tough time extracting the poison. With this in mind, Lin Feng no longer hesitated. He controlled the thread-like Gang Qi with all his might to extract the poison, intent on cleansing the toxins from Xia Lalan’s body as quickly as possible.
In no time, the blood mixed with potent poison was forced out of her wound by Lin Feng. Drops of black blood fell to the ground, and as the black blood disappeared, it was replaced by the red flow of healthy blood. Lin Feng waved his hand, and a thick Golden Gang Qi immediately enveloped the wound, healing it completely in mere moments.
"All done, you should be fine now. However, the internal injuries need to be addressed when we get back," Lin Feng said indifferently after treating the two wounds. While extracting the poison from Xia Lalan, he had discovered that her bones and internal organs had some issues. These needed to be dealt with later, as they lacked the necessary medicinal herbs here.
"Thank you... thank you..." Xia Lalan, upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, knew that her wounds had been healed and hurriedly thanked him. The memory of the poison extraction process brought a blush to her cheeks. After all, no man other than Lin Feng had ever been so close to her, and she was truly unaccustomed to it.
At that time, Lin Feng wasn’t pondering over such things. He waved his hand, indicating that Xia Lalan needn’t be so formal. Then he reached out, took two strips of white bandage cloth, and busied himself dressing Xia Lalan’s wounds. After tending to her, he helped Xia Lalan sit upright. Without waiting for her to speak again, he went to start a fire.
Watching Lin Feng walk away, Xia Lalan breathed a sigh of relief. She could feel that Lin Feng had no ulterior motives; he had treated her purely as a patient. This made her extremely grateful to Lin Feng. Without him, not only would she have died today, but these children likely would not have survived either.
But then, seeing Lin Feng starting a fire, she grew puzzled, wondering what he was up to. Just as she was about to ask him, she saw Lin Feng approach the carcass of the Thousand Poisons Bone Wolf and effortlessly tear off a piece of wolf meat, skewering it on a stick.
Was Lin Feng going to grill the meat?
In an instant, Xia Lalan realized what he was planning. However, knowing that the Thousand Poisons Bone Wolf’s entire body was covered in lethal poison, she urgently said to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, that’s the Thousand Poisons Bone Wolf, it’s poisonous, you can’t eat it."
"No worries, the demon beast’s poison only resides on the surface and in the organs, the meat is fine," Lin Feng replied with a faint smile upon hearing Xia Lalan’s concern, and added simply that Xia Jianping and his group had slain more than one of these wolves before, so he knew whether the meat was poisonous and edible.
"Oh... All right then." Seeing that Lin Feng was confident, Xia Lalan relaxed, but internally she was curious about how he knew the meat wasn’t poisonous. Had he eaten it many times before...?
Lin Feng ignored Xia Lalan’s bewildered state and took the wolf meat to the fire, starting to grill it on his own. The fire burned brightly, quickly releasing a mouthwatering aroma. Then, Lin Feng took out a small bottle, sprinkled some spices on the meat, and the scent of the grilled wolf meat exploded anew, filling the air around Lin Feng with the rich aroma, making Xia Lalan involuntarily swallow.
How... How can this smell so delicious!
Xia Lalan never expected the hideous Thousand Poisons Bone Wolf’s flesh could smell so tantalizing once grilled. She eyed the cooking meat, almost wishing she could take a bite right away...
Before long, the piece of wolf meat in Lin Feng’s hand was cooked through. He handed it to Xia Lalan, saying nonchalantly, "You’ve been injured, eat this quickly."
"For... for me? You... you eat first," Xia Lalan asked incredulously as she took the grilled wolf meat from Lin Feng. She thought Lin Feng was grilling it for himself, and it never occurred to her he would hand it over as soon as it was ready. Despite salivating at the smell, she declined and urged Lin Feng to eat first.
"Take it and eat it," Lin Feng replied, seeing that Xia Lalan was just being polite. He stuffed the grilled wolf meat into her hands. Without waiting for her response, he went to prepare another piece of meat and began to grill it on the rack.
