Chapter 73: After the War

"Where am I...?"

Dizzy, Ling Yun slowly opened his eyes.

What caught his eyes was not the blue sky and white clouds, but the curtain of a bed.

Wasn't he fighting with the fallen soul master? How could he be here?

Confused, he realized that his hand seemed to be pressed by something.

He turned his head subconsciously, which made Ling Yun's body tremble subconsciously. He was obviously scared.

After turning his head, he found a delicate and cold face lying next to him to rest.

At first glance, it was Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing rested her face on her palms with both hands, and she seemed to be sleeping very soundly.

Not to mention, looking at Zhu Zhuqing's face at such a close distance, Ling Yun's dazed mood was relieved at once.

He already understood that after the battle with the fallen soul master, he was rescued by Davis and others.

Ling Yun didn't know how long it had been.

Zhu Zhuqing just lay beside his bed, Ling Yun was still a little touched.

How should I put it, it feels good to be cared for by others.

Especially for Zhu Zhuqing, who is cold and seldom talkative.

He glanced around and saw that this room was a little feminine, which should be Zhu Zhuqing's residence.

The big hole in his waist has been restored, which Ling Yun could feel.

When fighting with the Fallen Soul Emperor, the empty feeling in his waist was really uncomfortable.

His body was a little numb, and he thought he had been lying for a long time.

Ling Yun wanted to pull his hand out.

Just when he wanted to pull his hand away, he didn't know whether it was too much force or the wrong way.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyelids moved slightly, and soon opened her eyes.

He raised his head and happened to look at Ling Yun.

Maybe he had just woken up, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate face was a little dazed, and her pair of black eyes were sparkling, as if there was a layer of light mist.

Through these eyes, Ling Yun saw his own appearance, reflected in the other's dark eyes.

"Awake?"

Zhu Zhuqing was in a trance and nodded subconsciously.

"When I woke up, I felt my hands open. My hands are a little numb."

Zhu Zhuqing had been pressing his hands, causing the blood to not flow through them, and they were a little numb.

If he didn't pull them out to let the blood circulate, he would really be in trouble.

Zhu Zhuqing was a little dazed when she just woke up. She opened her hands and only then realized something.

She continued to turn her eyes and saw Ling Yun rubbing his hands and smiling at her. She widened her eyes.

"Ling Yun!"

"Don't shout so loudly, I can hear you."

She scratched her ears. Zhu Zhuqing's voice was a little loud just now, and her ears were a little itchy.

"You... you really woke up... woke up..."

Seeing Ling Yun wake up, Zhu Zhuqing was a little happy and excited for a while.

For a while, she didn't know what to do.

She wanted to reach out and touch it to see if she was hallucinating, but this was the first time she had encountered such a thing since she was a child.

She was a little confused and didn't know what to do next. In the end, she didn't have the courage to reach out and touch it.

As a result, she was a little at a loss except for being happy when she knew Ling Yun woke up.

Ling Yun had already sat up and shook his numb left hand.

He looked up and saw Zhu Zhuqing's strangeness, so he reached out his hand directly.

The next moment when Zhu Zhuqing's body was a little stiff, he held the other's soft hand and spoke softly.

"Don't worry, I'm awake now."

"Zhuqing..."

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled inexplicably.

Seeing this, Ling Yun continued to say to himself: "No matter what, I am your fiancé and half of your teacher. It shouldn't be too much to call you that?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's ears turned red, and her whole face became a little rosy, and then she felt a little hot.

Realizing that she was not in the right state, Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly broke free and stood up in a panic.

"You... it's good that you wake up. You have been in a coma for seven days. I think you are hungry. I will go get you some food."

Zhu Zhuqing talked to herself in panic for a while, without asking Ling Yun's opinion at all, and soon ran out of her boudoir in a panic.

After escaping from the room, Zhu Zhuqing quickly closed the door and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned against the door as if she had no strength in her body.

Slowly raised her hand, touched the hot face, and couldn't help but say to herself: "Zhu Zhuqing, what's wrong with you? Have you forgotten your goal?"

There should be only one goal for yourself, to learn how to become stronger from Ling Yun, and then escape from this cage without being bound by anyone.

Even if she became Ling Yun's fiancée, this was just a stopgap measure and didn't count at all.

When Zhu Zhuqing silently warned herself in her heart, she inexplicably thought of the scene just now.

When Ling Yun took her hand and called her name, her heart beat very, very fast, as if it would jump out of her body the next moment.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but cover her chest, feeling her heart pounding. She felt a little confused now.

Everything... everything was different from what she had originally imagined.

It was like at the beginning, she just used Ling Yun as a shield, thinking that she could get rid of the entanglement of the three sects and escape more easily.

It seems... Ling Yun's path is the most difficult to escape...

Even now, it seems to be somewhat contrary to her original will...

"Don't think too much, don't think too much, Zhu Zhuqing, you can do it, hold on."

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Zhu Zhuqing kept whispering to herself and slowly left the room.

She didn't forget that she came out to get food for Ling Yun.

Ling Yun hadn't eaten for seven days, so she had to get him something to eat.

Thinking of Ling Yun being sent back seven days ago, and almost unable to see his face, her mind went blank, and a tear flowed unconsciously from the corner of her eyes.

If they hadn't said that Ling Yun was not dead and was still breathing, she didn't know what she would do.

"What's wrong with me?"

Zhu Zhuqing wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her fingers, and walked towards the kitchen without thinking any more.

In the room, Ling Yun looked at the place where Zhu Zhuqing left, and thinking of her appearance before, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Don't say it, Zhu Zhuqing's shy look just now, he really hasn't seen it in the past three months.

There was no one in the room, and Ling Yun was a little bored for a while.

In the battle with the Demon Soul Emperor, Ling Yun didn't know how badly he was injured, but judging from the seven days of coma, it must have been serious.

He could feel that his body had not fully recovered.

Even though he had the special soul power in the Sage Mode, which accelerated his recovery.

However, when he released the Nine-tailed Martial Soul, things were different.

According to his physique, his body could not bear the side effects of releasing the Nine-tailed Martial Soul.

He was able to continue to be possessed by the Nine-tailed Martial Soul thanks to the power of the Sage Mode.

At the last moment, he used all the special soul power in the Sage Mode and the spiral condensed by the Nine-tailed Soul Power to attack.

As a result, he injected all the soul power in the Sage Mode, and he had almost zero-range attack, and could only continue to maintain the Nine-tailed Coat to save his life.

When he was lifted back... his condition should be very, very bad.

His body cannot move now.

He simply leaned on the bed, staring at the ceiling... oh no, it was the character panel.

If killing a soul master can gain luck points, then the battle with the Demon Soul Emperor will definitely gain a lot of luck points.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun's thoughts moved, and the panel appeared again...
