Chapter 16: Survival

Previous Chapter

Chi Yuan slowly opened his eyes, but saw that he was in a strange room. He sat up, rubbed his forehead, his brain was dizzy, and he felt a dull pain all over his body, but when he looked at his body, he couldn't help but be shocked, the injuries he had suffered in the previous battle were almost all healed, and even the claw marks on his left shoulder, which were originally deep to the bone, only a paw print on the skin was left.

Chi Yuan used the method of internal vision, confirming that the external injuries on his body were no longer hindered, even if the condition of the internal injuries had improved greatly, the previously crumbling dantian had stabilized, although it was still surging, but in addition to the fear of a lot of luck in the short term, there should be no need to worry.

There was no one else in the room, and he didn't know why he was here, Chi Yuan took out a set of clothes from the Qiankun bag, and after dusting off the dirt on his body, he changed his clothes and walked out of the room, only to find that he was in the Ji Mansion. In the pavilion not far away, Ling Yan was talking with the old lady of the Ji family, and when the two saw Chi Yuan, they walked up.

The old woman spoke first: "Young man, you are awake." ”

Ling Yan continued: "Yes, you have been in a coma for a long time, and we are worried that you will not wake up." ”

Hearing this, Chi Yuan frowned, "How long have I been asleep?" And also...... What about the girl you took care of? ”

"Seven hours have passed since we found you. When the old body woke up, the little girl hadn't woken up yet, and it happened that I met this Ling Yan girl looking for you, I was worried about whether there was an accident with you, so I went to the ancestral shrine to find the young man, and by the way, I took the two girls to my house to settle down first. ”

"I see, old man, thank you."

"Young heroes don't have to be polite, it's me who should be thanked. If it weren't for the young man, I am afraid that no one in this ancient city would be able to live. Thanks to Miss Ling Yan's help, these seventeen unjust souls of my Ji family can be buried, after all, there are really no people in the mansion. Speaking of this, the old woman's eyes couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

Ling Yan tapped his chin with his finger and said thoughtfully: "In this way, only Sun Lang is the only one left, and that stupid guy must still be lying where he is now." ”

"He's gone." Chi Yuan told what happened from beginning to end, and after speaking, he asked again: "By the way, did you heal the injuries on my body?" ”

"Hurt? You didn't have any injuries when we found you, did you? ”

"That must be Sun Lang," Chi Yuan said, "Although he has something to hide, he shouldn't have malicious intent." ”

When Ling Yan heard this, he said dissatisfiedly: "This guy took the sword and ran away, it's really not a thing, why are you still talking to him?" ”

Chi Yuan shook his head, "Although this is the case, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to kill the butterfly demon alone, and the people in the city wouldn't be able to be saved." ”

After speaking, Chi Yuan suddenly said with a straight face: "Ling Yan, I'm sorry, because of my decision alone, we are all in danger, and it has affected you." ”

Ling Yanyan smiled, "It's okay, isn't this okay for everyone?" ”

Chi Yuan also frowned when he heard this, and asked, "By the way, what about Xiao Yuan?" ”

"Xiao Yuan is in that room over there, she has already woken up, but she seems to have something on her mind and has not come out."

Chi Yuan remembered the palpitations in his heart that were full of helplessness and despair before, and said, "Then I'll go see her." ”

"Well, there you go."

Chi Yuan walked to the door of Xiao Yuan's room, knocked twice, and said, "Xiao Yuan, it's me, Chi Yuan." ”

After a moment, a reply came from the room, "Come in." The voice was calm and cold, not as energetic as usual.

Chi Yuan pushed open the door, only to see Xiao Yuan sitting on the edge of the bed, his hair was scattered, and there was no trace of divine light in his calm eyes, although the spirit body was not as loose as when he was unconscious, but it was not as solid as before.

Before Chi Yuan could speak, Xiao Yuan said first: "What about Wuyan?" ”

Hearing this, Chi Yuan raised his right hand, and Wuya turned into a golden light that emerged from his hand, and Xiao Yuan immediately flew into the sword, "I'm a little tired, let me rest for a while." ”

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Yuan hesitated for a moment, "It's nothing." ”

Chi Yuan naturally could see that Xiao Yuan had something on her mind, but since she had no intention of saying it, she had to give up, although she was uneasy in her heart, she still said, "That's good." ”

"I'll put it on the table, and I'll talk about it later."

Also, since the butterfly shadow is also a divine sword, the breath of the bead taken from it can naturally be recognized.

Chi Yuan picked up the purple and black beads on the table and rubbed them in his hand for a while, and the emotions in his heart couldn't help but be a little complicated.

"Old man, return to the original owner." Chi Yuan returned to the court and handed the bead back to the old woman, "Thank you for your help before." ”

The old woman showed a smile that only elders have, stepped forward and reached out to close Chi Yuan's unfolded palm, and said, "My Ji family has guarded the butterfly shadow for generations, and the ancestors are worthy of it. Now that the sword is no longer here, this pearl is just a surplus in the old body, so take it from the young man. ”

"How can this be ......?"

The old woman just shook her head with a smile, and said softly: "The young man is a cultivator, and the pearl may one day return to the Butterfly Shadow Sword in your hands, so don't shirk it." ”

Chi Yuan had no choice but to put the pearl into the Qiankun bag, and saluted the old woman with a fist, "Then thank you seniors, Chi Yuan will definitely live up to his trust and find the butterfly shadow." ”

After speaking, Chi Yuan turned around and retreated to his room and gently closed the door, a trace of warmth welled up in his heart.

Chi Yuan sat cross-legged back on the bed and began to exercise. The damage to the dantian made every trace of the True Qi very painful, but he still had to endure the pain and carefully repair the meridians damaged by the overflowing True Qi, and after an extremely difficult operation, Chi Yuan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

The scene he saw in the dream resurfaced in front of him, and Chi Yuan couldn't help but clench his fists.

Shushan...... Dark ......

It seems necessary to make a trip to the Far North.
