Chapter 247: Awakening
In a clean and quiet room, light that wasn't too bright streamed in through a half-open bamboo window, keeping the room from being too dim.
Yun Che lay quietly on the soft bed, his body covered entirely with medicinal ointments that had a mild scent. He had maintained this position for three days, meaning he had been unconscious for three full days.
A flicker of ice spirit energy appeared before the bed, gradually coalescing into the silhouette of a woman dressed in pure white robes. She raised her icy palm and placed it on Yun Che's chest, sensing his injuries and the state of his profound force recovery. After a short while, the ice spirits around her began to flutter rapidly. She fully opened her palm, covering his chest, as a faint ice-blue light silently enveloped his body…
This state lasted for a full half hour. Then, deliberately lightened footsteps came from outside the door. The woman withdrew her hand, her body lightly swaying, and vanished like a dream from that spot.
At that moment, Yun Che's eyes twitched slightly, then slowly opened.
His entire body ached, but not too severely. There was also a refreshing coolness that made him feel particularly comfortable. Yun Che tried to move his body, and the result pleasantly surprised him. Although he felt weak, his movements were not stiff.
"What is Yun Che's 'profound art'?" Qin Wushang didn't know, and no one had ever been able to tell. He nodded and said no more.
Cang Yue fed Yun Che the medicinal soup, stayed with him for a while longer, then left, letting him rest quietly alone.
"You really are reckless. Aren't you afraid of crippling yourself?" Mo Li said with a tone of disapproval.
"I've been through similar situations many times, so I have a rough idea. No matter how recklessly I act, I won't truly cripple myself." Yun Che adjusted himself to a more comfortable lying position, took a Great Recovery Pill from the Heavenly Poison Pearl, and tossed it into his mouth. He then slowly began to refine it with the small amount of profound force he had recovered. "It's only been three days, yet my external injuries are about seventy to eighty percent healed, and my internal injuries are completely recovered. The second layer of the Great Dao Pagoda Art is truly extraordinary."
"Hmph, do you really think it was only the second layer of the Great Dao Pagoda Art that allowed you to recover to this extent?" Mo Li snorted coldly.
"...Is there another reason?"
"Over these three days, someone came twice a day, expending a great deal of profound force to heal your injuries. Otherwise, you would have remained unconscious for at least two more days, and your internal injuries wouldn't have healed this quickly."
Yun Che was startled, then suddenly grew excited: "Could it be... Xiao Xiannü?"
"That woman has always been cold and indifferent toward you, with no gentle words. Last time, she even blasted you out. Yet when you were injured, she secretly came knocking, not hesitating to spend a large amount of profound force to treat you. Women's thoughts are truly strange," Mo Li said nonchalantly. However, hearing the last sentence from the mouth of this girl who was actually only fourteen years old would strike anyone as very odd and awkward.
"Haha, when you grow up and become a real woman, perhaps you'll understand," Yun Che laughed out loud, his mood suddenly turning much better. "When does she usually come?"
"Noon and midnight. What, are you waiting for her to come?"
"Of course! She must not know I've already woken up, so she'll definitely come again." Yun Che was very...
