Chapter 388: Chapter 216: The Awakening of the Boys and Girls (Part 2)
He is exceptionally gifted, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and can even wash clothes and cook. He is knowledgeable about and adheres to etiquette, humble and tenacious, and is even willing to risk his life to venture into danger for a master he had just begun following.
Such a man is indeed quite different from her impression.
If there was only one flaw...
Hmm? Why can’t I find one?
The Third Elder lightly shook her head, unwilling to admit this point.
Unknowingly, night had fallen deeply, and she had healed most of You Su’s upper body injuries, leaving only what he must deal with himself.
"As for the lower body..."
The Third Elder furrowed her delicate brows, torn between two sides in her heart.
After a long time, she sighed deeply. As the saying goes, a good deed should be done thoroughly. Besides, this wasn’t the first time she had seen You Su’s naked body... What’s there to be concerned about?
With this thought, she peeled away the torn clothes on You Su. These tattered clothes were soaked with blood, hardening like lumps of dirt once the blood had dried.
Such severe injuries, had it been another in the Spirit Platform Realm, they would have died several times over...
The Third Elder’s heart softened, and her actions of undressing You Su to check his wounds carried a bit more tenderness. Yet suddenly, her expression froze as her fingers touched something firm.
The Third Elder recalled the offensive item she saw on You Su last time and drew back her hand as if shocked by electricity.
Her eyes widened, and she scolded softly:
"You shameless fellow! Pretending to be unconscious when you’re awake!"
Yet You Su remained motionless, occasionally frowning, disturbed by the pain.
Not awake?
The Third Elder, skilled in medicine, focused intently and realized that You Su was indeed not conscious.
With such severe injuries, how could he still stand firm while unconscious? What is this heaven-defying constitution of yours?!
The Third Elder cursed internally, but since he wasn’t awake, indicating this wasn’t intentional on You Su’s part, the treatment had to continue.
However, her movements were a bit rough, as if venting inner resentment.
This is...
A flying stick?!
Bah, bah, bah! A cloud bamboo!
"You’re crazy! Leaving the cloud bamboo I gave you here for what?!"
The Third Elder held the slender green bamboo stick, her expression softened, and she felt slightly embarrassed for the misunderstanding.
After all, where else could the flute be placed if not at the waist?
Thankfully... She almost thought there was an issue with You Su there...
The Third Elder set the cloud bamboo aside. After confirming no major issues with You Su’s lower body injuries, she still felt uneasy. Her jade-like hand moved above You Su’s navel, and cyan Qi flowed from her palm, silently nourishing his entire body.
Having done all this, she then checked on Fairy Wangshu’s condition.
This was her first time seeing Wangshu in such an unguarded state. If possible, she could even remove that mask to see the Divine Maiden’s true face, which even she was curious about.
But she didn’t do so and proceeded to heal Ji Lingruo instead.
This was her little scheme, as by treating the girl last, she could create the illusion that she had been nourishing her throughout the night when the girl awoke.
...
When You Su awoke, it was already the third day’s dusk.
"You’re awake."
It was Zi Yiyi’s voice.
You Su felt an overwhelming soreness throughout his body, unbearable itching at his wounds, and an indescribable discomfort.
"Yiyi, where are my junior sister and senior sister?"
Zi Yiyi carefully adjusted You Su’s pillow, allowing the awakened boy to lie a bit higher.
"They went out together."
?
You Su was stunned and couldn’t believe what he had heard.
Considering how the first month on the mountain, those two had shown no sign of being close as junior and senior sisters. Without him, they wouldn’t even have spoken a word together. How did they suddenly become close enough to go out together?
"Are they okay?" You Su asked with concern.
"Under the Third Elder’s treatment, you all are fine. Only you were more severely injured, so you took longer to wake up," Zi Yiyi replied gently.
"The Third Elder also came?" You Su was surprised, feeling more gratitude towards the Third Elder.
"She came the night the battle ended."
Upon hearing this, You Su paused and said:
"Thank you, Third Elder, and thank you, Yiyi."
You Su hadn’t expected that the one staying by his side wasn’t his junior sister or senior sister, but this person, Zi Yiyi, who was not particularly taken with him.
"You are already the Divine Son, with a status in the Exorcism Bureau just below the three main seats, equal to the Divine Maiden. As members of the Exorcism Bureau, we naturally don’t wish for your demise."
Zi Yiyi no longer bore her previous arrogance, as if completely convinced by the boy.
Amidst the conversation, a series of joyful laughter grew closer—the laughter of Ji Lingruo and the Third Elder.
Soon the door opened, and the three stunning beauties entered hand in hand, with Ji Lingruo in the middle, her arms around two much taller women, enjoying the ’blessing of three.’"
These three female cultivators, despite being decades apart in age, seemed like sisters of the same age.
For some unknown reason, You Su, observing the harmonious atmosphere between his junior and senior sisters, felt he should be happy but instead sensed a vague sense of loss.
"Senior Brother."
"Junior Brother."
Upon seeing You Su awake, the two women’s eyes sparkled as they called out together.
The Third Elder rolled her eyes playfully.
You Su forced a smile:
"Third Elder, Senior Sister, Junior Sister."
If it were before, his junior sister would have been troubled by why he addressed the senior sister first, but now the young girl didn’t seem to mind.
"The Third Elder predicted accurately that you would wake today, and wake you did. Since you’ve awakened, Senior Sister and I specially went to buy tonic medicine for you; you must drink it all!"
The Third Elder’s mouth curled into a satisfied arc: "My reputation is not undeserved."
"The Third Elder is really impressive!"
Ji Lingruo smiled sweetly, once feeling uneasy because the other was a Venerable of the Void Realm, now seemed to be quite close with the Third Elder.
The girl then took out large packages of medicinal ingredients to brew, and Zi Yiyi joined her to help.
Turns out they went to buy medicine for me...
The little bit of disappointment in You Su’s heart vanished instantly, replaced with a secret joy for still being central to the two women.
He felt his greed but did not wish to let it go.
"Is the junior brother feeling better?"
Fairy Wangshu finally found the opportunity to ask as she approached gracefully.
You Su nodded obediently.
"With my miraculous hands rejuvenating, Little Wangshu can rest assured; he’ll be fine."
The Third Elder didn’t miss the chance to claim credit.
"Thank you, Third Elder." Wangshu expressed sincere gratitude.
The Third Elder nodded with satisfaction, finding You Su more pleasing to look at.
"I’ve heard from Zi Yiyi that you passed the assessment smoothly. Besides being a disciple of the Lotus Sword Venerable, you now also hold the title of Night Divine Son in the Exorcism Bureau. They are already preparing a ceremony at Return God Mountain to officially crown you."
"Isn’t ’crowning’ a bit much..."
You Su felt a little overly cautious.
"Why would it be too much? Do you think the title of Divine Son is casual?"
"I wouldn’t dare."
"Look at you, don’t act like an indecisive young lad. From now on, you are a person of status. You should be aware of your role as Divine Son; no one will trample over you easily again. You don’t have to personally handle everything; understand?"
The Third Elder’s tone was harsh, but also well-intentioned.
You Su’s brows slightly raised, unable to retort that he isn’t a young lad anymore as a defense, he could only nod obediently: "You Su understands."
The Third Elder was pleased with You Su’s obedience. Her bright eyes lit up as if she thought of something amusing:
"I heard that the female evil cultivator, who reached Feather Transformation Perfection, had previously posed as a courtesan, and you became her close guest."
"Uh... Indeed, that happened."
"Did she do anything to you?"
The Third Elder appeared very interested.
Fairy Wangshu sat by the window, her eyebrows arched with a smile. Ji Lingruo awkwardly carried a bowl of medicine inside. You Su couldn’t explain such matters to an elder in detail, so he repeatedly gave vague responses. Meanwhile, the Third Elder, like a curious old fox, persisted in prying for details from You Su.
Dusk had passed, and the moon was now in the sky.
That night, a new City Lord was appointed, and Mo Ye City turned over a new Chapter.
