Chapter 458 Her Face
"You make it sound easy. He has to train every day, isn’t going to find him just causing more trouble?" Jiang Xue replied irritably.
Little Fox fell silent, and Jiang Xue said nothing further, heading straight home. Upon returning, her parents-in-law and parents hadn’t rested yet, not even the old man.
"Did Qian Cheng leave?"
"He left!" Jiang Xue nodded, noting the late hour, and said to the elders, "I’m fine, Grandpa and Mom and Dad, you should all rest."
The elders noticed the time was indeed late. After expressing concern for Jiang Xue, they stood up and went to rest in their respective rooms.
Once everyone left, Jiang Xue securely closed the door and went back to her room. There, she took a bath, changed clothes, brought Little Reunion into the space, and asked Little Fox, "Do you have anything that works well to reduce swelling quickly?"
Honestly, having a face swollen like a pig’s head was really uncomfortable.
Little Fox glanced at Jiang Xue’s face, thought for a moment, and said, "Wait here!"
With that, it swiftly left the room. In no time, it returned with a small medicine bottle, handing it to Jiang Xue, saying, "This was left by the previous owner, specifically for reducing swelling and removing scars. Give it a try."
Jiang Xue took it and went into the room, found a mirror, and started applying it to her face. Surprisingly, once the ointment was on, her face felt much cooler.
After applying it, Jiang Xue’s face felt much more comfortable, and she left it alone, going directly to cultivate.
She needed to speed up her cultivation; she couldn’t keep taking hits passively.
At that moment, in the hospital, Ming Lan stood guard by Gong Hai’s bed. Only when he closed his eyes did she feel at ease and let her thoughts wander.
She had thought Gong Hai could avenge her, she even gave her body to him, but this was the result. She was truly unwilling to accept it.
It seems relying on others is still worse than relying on oneself.
No matter how much she used to care for her man, he still couldn’t be relied upon at crucial moments. Today, after such a whole day of trouble, nothing happened to Jiang Xue, let alone Mu Qiancheng.
Not only that, she even got a beating. As Ming Lan thought, she touched her face, her eyes filled with hatred.
Her face, injured like this, would probably take days to heal. It seems like she wouldn’t be able to face anyone for a few days. If it weren’t for Gong Hai being in the hospital, she’d wish to hide right away.
But now even Gong Hai wasn’t dependable; how was she supposed to get her revenge? Should she seek out people from the streets?
Previously, she had considered this, but not only did such people charge high fees, but once involved, it was hard to get away.
This was why she had been hesitating. Now, must she really take that step?
Ming Lan hesitated once more, deciding to wait a little longer. She wanted to see if she could find allies so she wouldn’t have to resort to street people.
It seemed recently she needed to have someone gather information about Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng in other areas.
With these thoughts, Ming Lan felt somewhat relieved. Gong Hai’s injuries were severe, and he stayed in the hospital for ten days.
Ten days went by, and with it, New Year’s was almost over. Ever since Mu Qiancheng left on New Year’s Eve, he hadn’t returned once.
To complete the task promptly, he compressed the original three-month training into two and a half months. Because of this, the warriors couldn’t help but cry out for mercy.
