Вдовствующая императрица Сяосюань

Глава 59

Upon hearing this, Ru Feng's forced composure crumbled, and his vision went black as he plunged into darkness.

Zuiyue breathed a sigh of relief and examined the wound closely. It was a bloody hole. While Rufeng had pierced the array's core, he had also exposed his own weakness. Between his chest and buttocks, Rufeng had resolutely chosen to sacrifice his buttocks. So now, Rufeng's two smooth, round buttocks were displayed in front of Lin Yilan and Zuiyue.

Lin Yilan gasped, "My poor Rufeng, how did she get hurt like this? Such a big hole, it must hurt a lot."

Although Zuiyue was used to seeing all kinds of wounds, she was still startled because Rufeng was her senior brother and she was very concerned. In addition, the bright red blood on her fair buttocks looked even more shocking.

"Auntie, let's stop talking and clean the wound. Luckily, it's not poisonous. Please go and get some clean water," Zuiyue hurriedly instructed, while she found various kinds of wound medicine.

Soon, the two worked together and finally managed to treat the wound. In order not to affect the healing of the wound, Ru Feng had to sleep on his stomach for a period of time and keep the wound exposed.

When Zuiyue came out, she knew that Wuqingjian had arrived, so she hurriedly ran over to find Wuqingjian.

Yu Chi Huaiyang asked with concern, "Is Ru Feng's wound alright?"

Zuiyue replied, "It's nothing, I just need to stay in bed for half a month. The wound is a bit big, and most importantly, Senior Brother has almost no internal energy left, so his body is very weak." But his eyes were fixed on the Ruthless Sword.

"Master!" Zuiyue finally called out.

The Ruthless Sword nodded indifferently, pushed away the cup in front of him, stood up and said, "It seems that Fu Qiang's formation is indeed domineering, even injuring my disciple. I'll go see him now."

Yu Chi Huaiyang replied with delight, "Okay, okay, I'll go too."

Without turning his head, Wuqingjian said, "Let's forget it. I want to talk to Rufeng alone."

Yu Chi Huaiyang didn't care. He stood still and muttered to himself, "It's alright, as long as Ru Feng is alright. Maybe this will even turn out to be a blessing in disguise."

Ruthless Sword walked very fast, and Drunken Moon could barely keep up behind him, looking at Ruthless Sword in front of her with admiration, but... but why is Master so cold to us?

The ruthless swordsman walked into the room, leaving behind the words, "Don't come in yet," before closing the door.

Zuiyue looked at Hanshan in surprise: "Hanshan, Master spoke to me!"

Han Shan nodded, a surge of joy welling up inside him.

Ruthless Sword walked into Ru Feng's room and looked at Lin Yilan: "You should go out for a moment. I'll treat Ru Feng's internal injuries."

Lin Yilan, intimidated by the imposing aura of the Ruthless Sword, retreated with peace of mind, for Ru Feng had told her that the Ruthless Sword already knew her identity. However, before leaving, Lin Yilan still pulled up Ru Feng's pants before lifting the mosquito net. After all, her daughter was still a virgin, and she couldn't let just anyone see her, even if that person was Ru Feng's master.

After Lin Yilan left, Wuqingjian sat down on the stool next to her, felt Rufeng's forehead, took his pulse, and then took Rufeng's hand to channel some true energy into him.

Ru Feng slowly awoke, cried out in pain, and opened her eyes to find out who it was.

"Master!" Ru Feng called out weakly.

"How do you feel?" the Ruthless Sword asked softly.

"I feel dizzy all over, weak and listless, my chest hurts a little, and my butt hurts even more! Waaah..." Ru Feng groaned again.

"You, who told you to let your grandfather have something on you? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so ruthless as to use the Fuqiang Formation against you." The expression on Wuqingjian's face was gentler than ever before, at least to outsiders.

Ru Feng rolled her eyes: "Master, why do I feel like you're gloating? Are you happy to see me injured? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment? I knew it, you've always been jealous that I'm better at learning than you."

"Nonsense!" Ruthless Sword flicked Ru Feng's forehead and said seriously, "Your wound is in a bad position right now, so you better lie still and I'll transfer some internal energy to you to help you stay alert."

Ru Feng objected: "Master, let me recover slowly. Internal energy is hard-won, you should keep it for yourself."

"Don't talk too much. I'm not like you, always fighting and killing." The ruthless swordsman straightened his face again.

Ru Feng pouted and said nothing more. She simply closed her eyes and slowly guided the circulation of her internal energy.

After a while, the two opened their eyes. Ru Feng's complexion had improved, and he was no longer as miserable as before.

"Here, this internal energy manual was originally meant to be passed on to you. When I was thirty, I suffered an accident and lost all my internal energy. I was in a state of utter despair, and that's when your grandmaster gave me this book. Now it's yours. Start practicing from scratch. Once you've mastered it, your internal energy should reach the eighth level." The Ruthless Sword tossed a book to Ru Feng.

Ru Feng exclaimed in surprise, "No way? Does that mean I can improve by two levels? Hehe, does that mean my martial arts have improved? Hehe, I thought I would have to put in a lot of effort to improve, but I didn't expect it would only take one injury to heal." By the end, he was already smug, clearly the kind of person who forgets the pain before the wound has even scabbed over.

The Ruthless Sword smiled slightly: "Well, you can put it that way, but you won't be able to go out from now on, so you'd better stay in bed." His tone had a hint of watching a show.

Ru Feng pouted, knowing his master would be happy to see him humiliated, and besides, he was always very active, so not being able to go out was indeed a big punishment for him. However, if his martial arts skills improved, he could endure the loneliness. Ru Feng had always been quite proud of his martial arts skills, and this crushing defeat against Fu Qiang, which even resulted in an injury to his bottom, was a real blow to his pride.

Although Fu Qiangzhen was formidable, Ru Feng sensed that he hadn't used his full strength; otherwise, he wouldn't just have a hole in his buttocks. But if Fu Qiangzhen wasn't from his own side but sent by the enemy, he might be dead. If they had poisoned their swords, wouldn't he be doomed?

So, overall, my martial arts skills are not high enough!

"What are you thinking about? Why are you frowning so badly?" Ruthless Sword tapped Ru Feng's head.

Ru Feng suddenly remembered something: "Master, why didn't you tell me that your wife's undergarment was impervious to swords and spears? If I hadn't accidentally discovered it during the fight, I wouldn't have known." Fortunately, its function saved Ru Feng from danger many times. Otherwise, Ru Feng wouldn't have been able to easily escape the formation, and he would have even damaged the formation's core, resulting in a lose-lose situation that would have made him look much better.

The ruthless swordsman's face turned cold: "Don't you already know now? And how was I supposed to know you were so stupid, only realizing it now?"

Ru Feng gritted her teeth in hatred: "Master, you are so mean!"

The Ruthless Sword gave a cold snort.

Ru Feng thought for a moment and then hurriedly asked, "Master, what about Zui Zhu and Nan Shan?"

Ruthless Sword glanced outside and said, "We're still on the mountain. I didn't let them come down."

"Is it because you think it's too deserted on the mountain? I'm telling you, Master, please be nicer to them. Always having such a cold face, even the dead would be scared away by you!" Ru Feng's tone was earnest.

"Hmph, you'd better mind your own business. You've really disgraced me. Luckily, your grandfather didn't tell anyone you hurt your butt, otherwise I wouldn't dare to roam the martial world anymore. Besides, your grandfather only allowed Fu Qiangzhen to use eight-tenths of his abilities," the Ruthless Sword mocked.

Ru Feng retorted angrily, "Do you think it's easy for me? Fu Qiang's formation is so powerful, why don't you go and challenge it if you dare! Master, I'm not trying to be mean, but you have such a sharp tongue. You don't even comfort me, and you're just making sarcastic remarks to me. No wonder your wife is avoiding you now!" Ru Feng was dizzy and blurted it out without thinking.
