Chapter 1805: Chapter 1802: It Might Hurt a Bit, Bear With It
Xu Wendong forced himself to endure the excruciating pain that felt as if his body was falling apart, and staggered back to his residence.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he could no longer hold on, and with a "puff," he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood. The crimson stains splattered on the ground were shocking to behold.
His face was as pale as paper, sweat as large as beans rolled down his forehead, and he looked as if he would collapse at any moment.
Although he had previously defeated the Huang Family’s housekeeper in battle,
he had also been hit by the opponent during the confrontation.
If he was in the mortal world, even though he was attacked, he would not have suffered any harm, for he possessed the Ancient Sacred Body, with a Physical Body comparable to a Divine Artifact.
But the problem was, he was now in the Underworld, and the host Lin Mo’s Physical Body wasn’t much different from that of an ordinary person.
The fact that he managed to hold on until he got back to his residence before spitting blood showed just how powerful his will was.
Putting aside the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, Xu Wendong sat cross-legged, silently reciting the Nine Netherworlds Manual, circulating the Netherworld Power within his body, attempting to repair the damaged meridians.
His hands deftly formed Hand Seals, the Netherworld Power around him surged chaotically, occasionally, a few wisps of black energy escaped from within, remnants of the battle with Huang Family’s housekeeper causing havoc.
Just as he was wholly immersed in healing, a soft knock broke the silence inside the room.
"Who?" Xu Wendong’s face was full of vigilance, his voice hoarse with weakness.
He was now seriously injured, even an ordinary person could easily take his life, so he had to be cautious.
"It’s me, Lin Yin." A gentle and familiar voice came from outside the door.
Xu Wendong was slightly startled, then forced himself to endure the pain and opened the door.
Standing at the door was a woman wearing a light blue tailored long robe. The robe accentuated her curvaceous figure, perfectly showcasing her graceful silhouette.
The neckline slightly opened, revealing skin as fair as jade, exuding a subtle allure.
Her face was extraordinarily beautiful, with eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes shimmering like spring water, able to easily captivate anyone’s mind.
A head of shiny black hair fell freely behind her, with strands playfully draped on her fair cheeks, adding a touch of charm.
She was the Lin Family’s Seventh Elder, Lin Yin.
Seeing Xu Wendong’s pallid complexion and the blood stains at the corner of his mouth, Lin Yin’s beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of distress, and she elegantly stepped into the room.
She then took out an exquisite small jade bottle from her bosom, elegantly pouring out an Elixir that emitted a faint fragrance, and gently leaned forward, handing the Elixir to Xu Wendong, her tender voice sounding again: "This is a Yin Gathering Pill, it will help with your injuries, quickly take it."
With that little lean forward, the neckline revealed tantalizing glimpses, causing Xu Wendong’s heart to race.
Xu Wendong hesitated for a moment but finally accepted the Elixir and swallowed it.
The Elixir dissolved instantly upon entry, a warmth spread throughout his body, and his previously chaotic Netherworld Power gradually stabilized.
Within moments, Xu Wendong’s complexion showed significant improvement, and he gratefully said to Lin Yin, "Thank you, Seventh Elder."
Lin Yin sat beside him, her legs naturally crossed, her posture lazy yet imbued with endless allure.
She gazed at Xu Wendong tenderly, her eyes full of concern: "You were too forceful today, making everyone see you in a different light."
"However, the Huang Family surely won’t let it go easily; what are your plans next?"
With weak breath, Xu Wendong’s voice revealed undeniable frailty: "I must first recover from the injuries, once stable, focus on consolidating the Cultivation Level."
"Given the current situation, it has to be taken step by step."
Lin Yin, upon hearing this, nodded reassuringly, her eyes full of expectation: "As long as you stay within the clan, there is no need to worry too much."
"Even if the Huang Family conspires with Lin Feng against you, with the entire Lin Family as your backing, their plans will be hard to succeed."
"Cough, cough!"
Xu Wendong was about to respond when a violent cough suddenly hit, catching him off guard, causing a large amount of fresh blood to spray from his mouth, nearly splattering on Lin Yin.
In an instant, his complexion turned as pale as paper, extremely haggard, like a lamp about to extinguish.
"Why is your injury so severe?" Lin Yin’s eyes filled with shock and concern, her hand instinctively covered her mouth, clearly frightened by the scene.
Xu Wendong forced a barely visible smile and explained with difficulty, "I was previously attacked by the Soul Devouring Nail, the injury wasn’t completely healed, and today I forcibly took the attack from Huang Family’s housekeeper, triggering old ailments."
"Lie down quickly, let me check your injury!" Lin Yin urgently instructed, her words filled with undeniable concern.
She swiftly reached out, gingerly supporting Xu Wendong, her gestures gentle yet urgent, carefully assisting him to the bed.
Xu Wendong’s face flushed, and he laid on the bed embarrassed, his limbs limp, utterly powerless.
He could only allow Lin Yin to gently undo his long robe, revealing his thin and scarred chest.
Upon seeing Xu Wendong’s chest, the ghastly, deep black wound made Lin Yin’s eyes widen instantly, filled with uncontrollable rage: "I didn’t expect Lin Feng to be so vicious, using the Soul Devouring Nail on you!"
Her voice trembled slightly, full of anger and disbelief, "Such an evil and vile Magical Treasure, how could he use it on his kin? It’s simply insane!"
Despite her anger, as Lin Yin looked at Xu Wendong, there was a growing curiosity in her gaze.
She knew very well the terror of the Soul Devouring Nail, not only leaving difficult Physical Body injuries but causing soul-destroying damage.
Yet Xu Wendong not only survived its attacks but even stepped into the Soul Transformation Realm; such an astonishing change, how could she not be curious?
Lin Yin suppressed the anger and curiosity within, trying to calm herself.
She slowly extended her hand, her fingertips slightly trembling as she gently touched the edge of Xu Wendong’s dark wound.
Her technique was exceedingly gentle, fearing even a slight force would bring Xu Wendong more pain.
"It might be a bit painful, bear with it." Lin Yin softly said, her voice carrying a gentle, comforting tone.
She concentrated her efforts, channeling her own Netherworld Power through her fingertips and slowly into Xu Wendong’s body.
Xu Wendong only felt Lin Yin’s fingertips cool, as soon as they touched the edge of the wound, the stinging pain felt like it was caressed by a cool breeze, the needle-like pain eased a bit.
With her Spiritual Power infusion, a warm flow spread from the wound.
Like warm sunshine in winter, inch by inch dispelling internal cold and pain.
However, the trauma left by the Soul Devouring Nail was too stubborn, the warm flow and the dark forces at the wound were antagonistic.
Xu Wendong only felt a tingling and swelling sensation at his chest, as if countless ants were gnawing.
This strange sensation made him involuntarily frown, subconsciously biting his lower lip, striving to endure this indescribable taste.
When the chest pain eased, the tingling sensation crept into Xu Wendong’s mind, making his breath quicken, a heat quietly rising in his abdomen...
