Wen Hongye woke up from his sleep, but Gu Xingchen was nowhere to be seen. His heart sank, and he was terrified.
He endured the soreness and got out of bed. His legs were a little weak, and he was about to get out of bed and put on his shoes when he saw Gu Xingchen walk in with a hot breakfast.
Seeing that Wen Hongye was about to get out of bed, he quickly put breakfast on the table, then went over and sat down by the bed to help him: "Don't get up, lie down for a while, I'll feed you breakfast?"
Wen Hongye didn't say anything, but instead threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"What's wrong? Is it because of what happened last night that you're feeling unwell?" Gu Xingchen asked, looking at the aggrieved Wen Hongye.
Wen Hongye shook her head and replied, "I thought you left, that you didn't want me anymore..."
"Silly boy, I finally found you, I finally got to be with you, I'm not leaving, even if you try to kick me out, I won't leave," Gu Xingchen said, hugging him back.
After the two hugged for a while, Gu Xingchen said, "Okay, sit on the bed and I'll feed you breakfast."
Wen Hongye pouted: "I haven't washed up yet."
Gu Xingchen laughed: "Okay, okay, I'll go get some water for you to wash up right away, just wait."
After breakfast, Wen Hongye said, "Xingchen, shall we go back tomorrow? I want to go back to your home, and then I can go up the mountain with you to gather herbs every day, okay?"
"Great, of course it's great." Gu Xingchen grasped his hand. "Heaven has truly been kind to me, allowing me to bring home such a beautiful wife!"
Wen Hongye snorted: "Who's your wife!"
“They’re all mine now. Who else would they be if not my wife? Oh no, I should call them husband and wife.” Gu Xingchen replied with a smile.
Wen Hongye blushed and was too embarrassed to look at Gu Xingchen.
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Xingchen said again, "Hongye, there's something I need to tell you..."
Wen Hongye's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately looked at him: "What is it..."
Chapter 397 We finally made it through!
"Then you're not allowed to get angry when I say it," Gu Xingchen said.
Hearing this, Wen Hongye felt a little nervous. He didn't know what Gu Xingchen was going to say, or whether he could accept it: "You, you go first."
"Actually... when I saved you, I tried to give you medicine while you were unconscious, and you wouldn't swallow it no matter what I did. I had no choice but to... feed it to you orally. After you woke up, I didn't dare to tell you the truth. I was afraid you would be angry and think I was a despicable person who took advantage of your vulnerability..."
Wen Hongye was stunned for a moment. He thought it was something unacceptable, but he didn't expect it to be this.
He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then looked at Gu Xingchen and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll get angry if you say it now?"
Gu Xingchen chuckled foolishly: "Now, are you willing to be angry with me?"
"Hmph, I thought you were a really honest person. I didn't expect you to have such a plan. Now that you know I'm yours and can't run away, that's why you're here to confess, right?" Wen Hongye said, pretending to be angry.
Gu Xingchen quickly waved her hands: "No, no, Hongye, how could you think like that? I... I didn't mean it. I just felt I couldn't hide anything from you. But it's wrong of me to tell you now. I... I know I shouldn't have done this, I..."
Seeing Gu Xingchen's eagerness to explain and apologize, Wen Hongye laughed and leaned in to kiss his clumsy lips.
Gu Xingchen stared at him with wide eyes, both surprised and delighted.
Wen Hongye raised her hand and slapped him lightly, then let go and said, "Kissing should be serious!"
Gu Xingchen paused, gave a silly smile, and then kissed him back, as if making amends.
His kiss was rather clumsy, and he even bit Wen Hongye's lips until they hurt. Helpless, he had no choice but to take the initiative again and patiently teach Gu Xingchen.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Lu Chimo was going to perform the Xuanxian acupuncture technique on Su Fuliu.
Feng Muting asked, "This time, it doesn't hurt, does it?"
Lu Chimo shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."
Bai Yulang asked again, "Senior brother, will Brother Liu be completely cured after this Xuanxian Acupuncture Technique is performed?"
"Almost. After the acupuncture is finished, Your Highness will use your internal energy to help Young Master Su regulate his meridians, and he'll be fine," Lu Chimo replied.
Bai Yulang laughed: "That's great! We've finally made it through! Soon Brother Liu will be able to recover his martial arts skills!"
Su Fuliu lay in bed, feeling somewhat emotional.
If it weren't for Feng Muting, he probably would never have thought about restoring his martial arts skills in his entire life.
Now that he has regained his martial arts skills, it means he can no longer run away.
Although his elder sister told him not to seek revenge, as long as he lived well.
But now, how could he not seek revenge?
Over the years, he hasn't had a single day of true happiness.
Those bloody memories always wield swords and spears in his heart in the dead of night, tearing at his wounds again and again, making it impossible for them to heal.
Feng Muting and Bai Yulang stood quietly to the side, watching Lu Chimo administer acupuncture to Su Fuliu. Neither of them dared to make a sound, not even daring to breathe too heavily, for fear of disturbing Lu Chimo.
But they didn't want to go out and wait; they all wanted to stay here and watch over Su Fuliu.
It took two full hours for Lu Chimo to stop. He let out a soft sigh of relief and then looked at Feng Muting: "Your Highness, would you like to come and help Young Master Su by channeling his internal energy?"
Chapter 398 Rebirth
“Okay.” Feng Muting immediately went over and helped Su Fuliu sit cross-legged.
He sat behind Su Fuliu, circulating his inner energy and placing his hands on Su Fuliu's back.
Lu Chimo then took Bai Yulang and went out first.
Bai Yulang asked curiously, "Senior brother, is Brother Liu's martial arts very powerful?"
Lu Chimo nodded: "The pipa hook is designed to deal with people with high martial arts skills. If someone's martial arts skills are average, why bother with it?"
Bai Yulang's eyes lit up: "That's great. It seems that from now on, Your Highness won't be able to bully Brother Liu anymore."
"Don't say that in front of the prince," Lu Chimo quickly cautioned.
"I know, I've learned my lesson now, I won't say anything carelessly, especially not something a petty prince like you would say." Bai Yulang nodded.
“You, still talking like that, this is the Prince’s mansion. Even if you didn’t say it to his face, it’s not good to talk about it behind his back. If the people in the mansion hear it, it will reach the Prince’s ears.” Lu Chimo shook his head and looked at Bai Yulang, who couldn’t control his mouth.
However, Bai Yulang is now a tiny bit better than before.
It seems that Feng Muting's two humiliations have taught him a lesson.
Half an hour later, Feng Muting withdrew his inner energy and asked, "A-Liu, how do you feel?"
Su Fuliu nodded: "I feel full of energy right now."
Feng Muting chuckled: "With your skinny arms and legs, to say you're full of strength makes me chuckle a little."
Su Fuliu turned to look at him, snorted, and then pushed him with her hand.
The palm strike had no lethal force, but it pushed Feng Muting from the bed to the table.
If Feng Muting hadn't held on tightly, he probably would have had to retreat to the doorway.
He looked at Su Fuliu in surprise. With that kind of strength, how much internal energy must she have?
He thought for a moment, then said, "Ah Liu, shall we go outside and spar a few rounds?"
Su Fuliu shook her head: "No, I promised you I wouldn't use martial arts against you."
"It's alright, this isn't a fight, it's just a friendly spar." Feng Muting wanted to test Su Fuliu's martial arts skills and internal strength so he could have a better understanding of her abilities.
"Alright then." Su Fuliu got out of bed. After lying in bed for three months, she could finally go out and move around a bit.
Just then, Feng Muting wanted to spar with him, and he also wanted to see if his martial arts had really fully recovered.
After getting dressed, Su Fuliu went to the courtyard with Feng Muting.
Lu Chimo and Bai Yulang didn't go far either; they stayed in the courtyard, waiting for Feng Muting to finish relieving Su Fuliu's discomfort so that Lu Chimo could check Su Fuliu's pulse again.
Seeing Su Fuliu and Feng Muting come out, he said, "The way you two are acting, it looks like you're about to have a competition?"
Su Fuliu nodded: "Yes, Tinglang said he wants to spar with me."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yulang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, not for any other reason than Su Fuliu's address of "Tinglang".
However, since Feng Muting himself was there, he refrained from saying much.
“Alright, actually I also want to see how well Young Master Su’s martial arts have recovered. However, before you two spar, let me check your pulse first.” Lu Chimo was actually quite curious as well.
Su Fuliu then reached out her hand, asking Lu Chimo to take a look.
Lu Chimo reached out and touched Su Fuliu's wrist, examining it carefully. After a while, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Young Master Su, on your 'rebirth'."
Chapter 399 Such a small frame yet such explosive power
Su Fuliu smiled slightly: "This is all thanks to Doctor Lu. If it weren't for Doctor Lu, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
“Young Master Su, you’re too kind. I’m just repaying you with the Mysterious Hidden Needle Technique and the Mysterious Manifestation Needle Technique,” Lu Chimo said.
Bai Yulang said somewhat anxiously, "Alright, senior brother, brother Liu, stop talking. Let brother Liu spar with the prince. I really want to see how good brother Liu's martial arts are!"
Lu Chimo nodded and led Bai Yulang to the side.
Su Fuliu looked at Feng Muting standing opposite him and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, he hadn't practiced martial arts for several years, and now that he had recovered, he was afraid that Feng Muting might not be able to control himself properly.
"Ah Liu, it's starting." Feng Muting reminded Su Fuliu when he saw that she was a little nervous and not focused enough.
Su Fuliu took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay!"
Then, the two began to make their moves.
Lu Chimo and Bai Yulang stared intently at the two of them. At first, Feng Muting and Su Fuliu were evenly matched.
After exchanging more than ten moves, it was clear that Su Fuliu seemed to be intentionally holding back her moves, but it seemed she couldn't quite stop them.
Feng Muting naturally noticed this as well, and said, "Aliu, there's no need to keep it, it's alright."
He was afraid that Su Fuliu would suffer a backlash if she deliberately held back her moves and internal energy.
Upon hearing his words, Su Fuliu truly stopped holding back and unleashed every move with abandon.
Then, it became clear that Feng Muting was struggling a little.
Bai Yulang couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: "I really didn't expect that Brother Liu's thin little body could have such strong explosive power. Even the prince is having a hard time keeping up with it."
