Chapter 1532 - 1530: Sorry to Have Kept You Waiting
Chapter 1532 - 1530: Sorry to Have Kept You Waiting
Moyan had been watching Chu Meng from the side, and upon hearing Chu Meng say she was ready to kill herself, she couldn’t just stand by. But just as she was about to stop Chu Meng from committing suicide, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, grabbing Chu Meng’s hand.
"Spend a lifetime with me; how can you accompany me if you’re dead?"
A slightly weak voice sounded, instantly stunning the two women. They couldn’t help but turn their gaze towards the figure, and immediately saw Lin Feng. The two women were dumbstruck, frozen like wood, finding it hard to believe what they were seeing because Lin Feng was standing right in front of them!
"Junior Brother, are you... a human or a ghost?"
Chu Meng couldn’t help but ask first. She had never imagined Lin Feng could survive such a massive explosion, and she wondered if she was hallucinating due to missing him too much.
"Young Master Lin..."
Not only did Chu Meng exclaim, but Moyan also couldn’t help but exclaim as she looked at Lin Feng in disbelief. The self-detonation of the Blood Devouring Dragon Lizard was so terrifying that even at a distance of nearly ten kilometers, she and Chu Meng were heavily injured. How could Lin Feng, who was so close to the creature, be alive? It seemed impossible. Was she hallucinating too?
"Don’t just stand there stunned, I’m not dead." Lin Feng said calmly, seeing the shocked expressions of the two women. He understood their feelings, honestly, he was still shaken himself. Surviving the self-detonation of the Blood Devouring Dragon Lizard was pure luck. If he hadn’t, at the last moment, had the sudden idea to use a Secret Technique to condense his Gang Qi, turning himself into a stone as hard as diamond, he would’ve been torn apart by that violent energy. But even so, he had been severely injured. Without his suspiciously self-healing Gang Qi, he would’ve been dead by now.
Hearing Lin Feng say this, the two women finally believed that he was indeed alive. In an instant, their tears burst out again. Chu Meng, unable to think of anything else, rushed into Lin Feng’s embrace, crying her heart out. She had been utterly hopeless, never expecting Lin Feng to survive, and now she was so happy she didn’t know what to do.
Moyan also felt the urge to hug Lin Feng, but seeing Chu Meng do so, she could only stand still. However, she was extremely excited; she never thought Lin Feng would actually survive, but this was the ending she most wanted to see. She didn’t want Lin Feng to die like this.
"Senior Sister, it... it hurts..." Lin Feng said through gritted teeth as Chu Meng suddenly rushed at him. Most of his bones were half-broken, although he had set them himself, they hadn’t healed yet. Chu Meng’s impact really hurt.
"Ah..." Hearing Lin Feng say this, Chu Meng suddenly realized that although her Junior Brother seemed fine now, having survived that terrifying explosion meant he couldn’t be unscathed. She quickly jumped out of Lin Feng’s arms and looked at him nervously, asking, "Junior Brother... are you... are you alright?"
"I’m not in too much trouble; the broken bones are reconnected, and the rest is just healing. But it’s you, Senior Sister, whose injuries are more serious. I’ll help you treat them for now." Lin Feng said, smiling at Chu Meng. Without waiting for her reply, Gang Qi started to flicker around him as he prepared to treat Chu Meng.
"Junior Brother, don’t rush to treat me; you should first..." Chu Meng, seeing Lin Feng wanting to treat her despite his own condition, got anxious and immediately wanted to stop him. But before she could finish her sentence, Lin Feng lightly pressed a finger to her lips, silencing her as a golden light enveloped her.
In a few minutes, the golden light dissipated, and Chu Meng’s external injuries had mostly healed. However, the Divine Thorn in her back remained untouched. It wasn’t that Lin Feng didn’t want to help her remove it, but he was too weak at the moment. Since it wasn’t life-threatening, he would help her remove it after recovering.
By this point, Lin Feng’s complexion was ashen. He had nearly exhausted his Gang Qi just to stay alive. Having barely recovered a bit, he used it again to heal Chu Meng’s injuries. After finishing, Lin Feng immediately sat down, forming hand seals, and began frantically absorbing the Spiritual Energy around him.
Seeing Lin Feng continue to help her despite his condition made Chu Meng feel even more guilty. But since Lin Feng was recovering, she didn’t say anything and decided to wait until he was fully healed to speak to him. Looking at Lin Feng’s pale complexion made her heart ache.
Seeing there was nothing else to be done, Chu Meng also sat down to cultivate. This time, it wasn’t about enhancing her strength but healing her wounds. She didn’t want Lin Feng to worry about her anymore. Moyan also began to cultivate; having consumed a lot of Gang Qi to protect Chu Meng, she needed to replenish it.
Time quickly passed; a few hours soon went by. Chu Meng and Moyan were mostly fine now, but Lin Feng remained unconscious. Both women understood, as Lin Feng’s realm required more Gang Qi than they could imagine, so they quietly sat beside him, keeping watch over him.
However, unknown to them, Lin Feng was in another state. After his battle with the Blood Devouring Dragon Lizard, despite nearly dying and depleting his Gang Qi, he gained something new. He suddenly realized his sensitivity to the surrounding Spiritual Energy had heightened immensely, and his Divine Sense seemed to have grown more than twice as powerful. Such benefits were something Lin Feng had never imagined.
As time passed, Lin Feng noticed a difference in the surrounding Spiritual Energy. It differed from that produced naturally, as if it was leaking from somewhere. The most crucial thing was that he couldn’t tell where it was leaking from. This discovery left Lin Feng dumbfounded; he couldn’t believe such things existed in the world.
He vaguely understood why various places around the world recently experienced the awakening of Alien Beasts. One reason was the emergence of the Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins, influencing global Spiritual Energy fluctuations. Another was that while naturally-produced Spiritual Energy was lessening worldwide, some leaked Spiritual Energy was appearing unnoticed.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng sensed there must be some issue involved, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was. With no clues, he could only keep this thought in mind and investigate it slowly once he returned to Tianhai.
When Lin Feng opened his eyes, the sky around had already darkened, and the desert winds had picked up. Seeing the two women still by his side, Lin Feng immediately stood up.
"Have I kept you waiting long?" Lin Feng asked with a smile, looking at the two women.
"Junior Brother, no matter how long we wait, it’s okay. How is your injury now?" Chu Meng asked anxiously upon seeing Lin Feng awake. Although his complexion looked much better, she was truly concerned about his current condition. If he wasn’t fully recovered, then they could simply continue to wait, as there was nothing pressing to do now.
"Young Master, are you well?" Moyan added urgently, her expression anxious. She also wanted to know if Lin Feng had fully recovered. Without Lin Feng around, she always felt a lack of security.
"Don’t worry, I’m about eighty percent recovered; what’s left isn’t urgent. However, Senior Sister, your injuries need further attention now." Lin Feng responded casually to their concern before shifting the topic to Chu Meng. His Gang Qi had been severely depleted before, and he had only managed to perform some basic first aid for her. Now that he was no longer injured, he not only intended to heal all of Chu Meng’s injuries but also remove the Divine Thorn from her body.
Without waiting for Chu Meng to speak, he enveloped her once more in a golden light. Seeing that Lin Feng was truly fine, she did not resist and allowed him to heal her. Despite spending the day cultivating, she hadn’t improved much. With her Junior Brother’s help, her recovery would be faster, and, most importantly, without leaving any scars. No woman would want scars on her body.
In what felt like no time, about half an hour passed, and the moon had emerged in the sky. By this time, Lin Feng had essentially healed Chu Meng’s injuries completely. The only thing left was the Divine Thorn in her back. Noticing this pesky issue, Lin Feng said to Chu Meng, "Senior Sister, removing this Divine Thorn is a bit tricky. I’ll need to use some technique to eject it, so bear with it for a moment."
Given that it was a Blood Devouring Dragon Lizard’s shock that had initially expelled his own Divine Thorn, Lin Feng was familiar with the removal process and knew how to control it. Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Chu Meng simply nodded; whatever her Junior Brother said, she believed him entirely.
"Snap!"
Suddenly, without warning, Lin Feng gave Chu Meng’s chest a light tap, immediately using a clever force to eject the Divine Thorn from her body. A line of blood shot out from her back instantly, and with a flick of his hand, a golden light appeared over the wound, making it vanish within moments, as if it had never been there.
"Finally able to use Gang Qi again, how wonderful!" Feeling the return of her lost powers, Chu Meng couldn’t be happier. She thought to herself that only her Junior Brother could achieve this; if it had been anyone else, they would have been devoured long ago. With this in mind, she immediately asked Lin Feng, "Junior Brother, what kind of Demon Beast were you fighting?"
