Chapter 44: The Green Glow of the Earth
After losing consciousness, Xiao Yun did not know how much time had passed. When he slowly regained awareness, he struggled to open his eyes and found himself lying on a soft, white bed.
The bed was made of carved mahogany, old yet somewhat stylish, covered with a white blanket and a pink comforter, accompanied by a faint fragrance in the air. It was clear that this was a woman's room.
The room was simply and elegantly decorated, with a pot of flowers on the windowsill—green branches and leaves with pinkish-white blossoms in full bloom.
"Uh, you're awake!" A crisp voice like a lark rang in his ears, confirming to Xiao Yun that he was indeed in a fragrant room.
In his hazy vision, he saw two young women surrounding him, one on each side.
"Where... am I?"
Xiao Yun struggled to sit up. "Ouch—" A sharp pain shot through his chest, causing him to cry out involuntarily as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The older woman said, "Xiao Yun, you can't move. Your injuries are severe. I'll call a doctor right away."
Only then did Xiao Yun realize that the older woman was Liu Ziyan, and the other woman was her younger sister-in-law, Han Xing.
Sweat dripped down as Xiao Yun recalled that it was Han Xing who had saved him and brought him to the car when he collapsed.
Han Xing had taken him directly to a hotel in Phoenix City. This room was located on the first floor and was usually where her sister-in-law stayed temporarily when at the hotel. Seeing Xiao Yun's serious injuries, Liu Ziyan decided not to risk moving him to another room and let him stay in her bedroom instead.
After explaining this to Xiao Yun, Han Xing anxiously asked, "Brother Xiao, I never expected someone as capable as you would fall victim to someone else's malice. Who did you offend?"
Xiao Yun shook his head and replied, "I find it strange too. The person who attacked me—I don't even know him. It seems he specifically wanted to challenge me to a fight. Sigh, if I hadn't been drugged, I wouldn't have ended up like this—like fish on a chopping board for others to slice up. Haha..."
Despite being beaten so badly, he still laughed happily. Han Xing thought to herself that perhaps only someone like him could be so carefree in such circumstances!
Liu Ziyan exclaimed, "Who drugged you?"
Xiao Yun smiled lightly and said, "Cheng Hu!"
He then briefly explained how Cheng Hu had become suspicious after he treated Feng Wushuang and how he had come seeking revenge. Naturally, he did not mention the part about secretly placing a Blood Curse on Feng Wushuang.
"He's truly a despicable little man. I helped him save his fiancée from the hands of death, and not only does he not show gratitude, but he also repays kindness with malice!" Han Xingyuan glared with wide eyes, gritting her silver teeth fiercely.
Liu Ziyan hurriedly said, "Han Xing, you stay here with Mr. Xiao. I'm going to the hospital!"
"Don't..." Xiao Yun reached out to stop her and smiled, "I just broke a few ribs; it's nothing serious. There's no need to call a doctor!"
What? He broke a few ribs and says it's no big deal? How can he be so nonchalant?
Sister-in-law looked at Xiao Yun as if he were an alien; this guy was truly bizarre!
In an instant, Han Xing seemed to understand and laughed, "I see now; Brother Xiao is going to heal himself by drawing his bones. I was curious about how he helped my sister-in-law with her back; now I have the chance to observe it live!"
Xiao Yun chuckled, "I can only treat others by drawing their bones; I can't do it for myself. However, healing takes time—at least a month if a doctor treats it. It's better for me to use my own cultivation methods to heal myself; I should be fine in three days!"
Liu Ziyan asked in surprise, "Will it really be that fast?"
Xiao Yun nodded, "Sister Liu, don't worry; it should be fine!"
Thinking about the strange process of Xiao Yun treating her, especially that kiss, Liu Ziyan felt flustered and her face turned red. She whispered, "I believe you!"
Han Xing noticed the unusual expression on Liu Ziyan's face and was quite surprised. Her gaze shifted between Liu Ziyan's face and Xiao Yun's several times, wondering what was going on between them.
But she didn't think too deeply about it and urged Xiao Yun, "Brother Xiao, hurry up and cultivate; I want to see how you do it."
Xiao Yun replied, "You two help me sit up first!" In truth, he could easily sit up by himself, but with two beautiful women beside him, he felt too lazy to move.
Sister-in-law thought he was too injured to move and helped him sit up slowly from both sides. Meanwhile, Xiao Yun wrapped his arms around the waists of the two beauties, his hands wandering intentionally or unintentionally over their soft curves.
Uh... Liu Ziyan's face flushed again. She knew Xiao Yun was taking advantage of her on purpose, but she couldn't react in front of her sister-in-law. Han Xing wasn't someone to mess with; she slapped his hand away and said, "What are you doing?"
"Ouch..." Xiao Yun pretended to be in pain. "When you were helping me earlier, I felt a sharp pain in my chest. Sorry about that; my hand just..."
He acted convincingly enough that Han Xing immediately apologized, "Brother Xiao, I'm sorry! I thought you..."
Only Liu Ziyan understood that this weirdo was definitely trying to take advantage of them. Not only did he benefit from her but he also extended his 'salty hands' toward Han Xing. Remembering what she had said when she first met Xiao Yun left her speechless.
Finally settled on the bed, Xiao Yun grinned at the two sisters-in-law and said, "You can leave now; I'm going to start my meditation."
"Ah, let's go out? You just focus on your cultivation, and we'll sit by and keep you company," Han Xing urged.
Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "No way, cultivation requires a calm mind. Although having you two beauties around makes everyone happy and joyful, if I only focus my thoughts on the beauties, my soul won't even be present. How can I settle down to cultivate?"
What does he mean by everyone being happy and joyful? It seems this guy's injuries aren't severe enough!
"Cough cough..." The two women couldn't help but cover their Cherry Lips and lightly cough. Their faces turned red, and unable to say anything, they had no choice but to leave. As they were exiting, Han Xing shot him a fierce glare and slammed the door shut.
Jokes aside, recovering through cultivation was still the most important thing. Xiao Yun pouted and smiled before sitting cross-legged, lightly closing his eyes to enter a meditative state. Just then, he suddenly felt an overwhelming light surrounding him. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide in shock, his pupils dilating as his mouth formed an 'O' shape.
The light was actually emanating from beneath the floor of this room, a Light Green color swirling around his body. Then, like a gushing spring, it rushed into him, automatically expelling the impurities from his body and opening up his Meridians, circulating within them...
What on earth is happening?
In an instant, Xiao Yun felt somewhat dazed, as if he had touched upon an incomprehensible Realm that reached deep into his heart. It was dreamlike and ethereal; the world was desolate yet vibrant in an instant—Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter—coming and going, flickering in and out like a long wind blowing from the setting sun to the rising dawn, echoing with Crane's Cry and Dragon's Roar...
Suddenly, Xiao Yun heard a creaking sound from within his Bones. At that moment, it felt as if a powerful force was boiling and crashing inside him. "Ah—" An uncontrollable impulse made him let out a long howl.
As the howl escaped his lips, Xiao Yun's Spiritual Sense swept across the ground. Ah... at this moment, he was not only surprised but also horrified—how could this be?
Just as Xiao Yun was left speechless in shock, there was a loud bang as the bedroom door was suddenly burst open... The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
