Chapter 43
The person is awake, but something is wrong. I stared at the bulge in the quilt and asked in a low voice.
"Are you angry?"
“…”
"I'd better let Senior Wu take a look at you first. Just wait patiently."
I called Wu Yunran to take his pulse and check. There was nothing serious wrong with his body. Young people are strong and healthy, and they recover quickly from fatal injuries.
After a quarter of an hour of investigation, Wu Yunran adjusted the prescription and sent a few new bottles. He also added a plaster that could regenerate muscles and strengthen bones to the external injury medicine.
I listened carefully, recorded it all, and then sent Wu Yunran and Xiao Ruoyin out.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, Xiao Ruoyin pointed at him grimly, "God is watching you. Don't cross the line."
If you don’t know, you might think it’s a Shura field!
I nodded resignedly, "I know, I know. God bless you with lightning and you'll die a miserable death."
Seeing me coming back, the boy in the room who was about to lie down did a sit-up and hurt his wound. He sat on the bed at a loss, not knowing whether to lie down or not.
"What's wrong?" I walked to the table, wiped my hands, looked at the neatly arranged medicines in the medicine box, glanced at him and asked.
"I apply the medicine myself."
"Brother, this is a penetrating wound. You can apply the medicine on the chest by gritting your teeth, but what about the back?"
"……I can."
"No, you can't. What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of hurting you."
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "No, you've already won once. If there's one, there's always another."
"I killed you once, and if it happens once, it will happen again."
“…”Okay, you can argue with me again, right?
My face fell in anger and I said directly, "Take off your clothes. Start applying this repair medicine today. At least it will make your scars less scary."
"You're still like Xiaobai, not afraid of getting hurt."
"Take off your clothes!"
"……oh."
Still unable to persuade me, Chu Yingyu silently undressed himself. He did not take off his clothes completely, but let them pile up at his waist so that he could put them on with his hands later.
When I sat down beside the bed with the ointment, he shrank back uneasily, a blush showing on his fair face. At first, I didn't think twice and just dipped a cloth in the sticky ointment and gently applied it to his scabby, red, and swollen wound.
The wound was stimulated by the cold medicine, and Chu Yingyu trembled, but he didn't make a sound or move again. I pressed gently along the wound, dissolving the medicine thoroughly on the skin.
"I'm not mad at you."
The boy's voice caused a slight vibration in my chest, which I felt with my fingers. I paused for a moment, and out of the corner of my eye I saw his Adam's apple moving up and down, as if he was nervous.
Logically speaking, we are married, but now it seems like we just met and are not very familiar with each other.
It's only been a few months, and the changes are so fast.
After the wound on his chest was treated, I went around behind him. Now he couldn't see my expression, so he probably felt more relaxed.
"You just woke up, what are you angry about? If not with me, could it be Xiao Ruoyin?"
"To myself."
There was an old wound on his bare back, and the red and swollen scar in the middle of the butterfly bone looked like it was about to tear his body apart.
He is a bit thin, but his broad shoulders still give me the illusion of being reliable, which is quite attractive. I was really attracted by his beauty at first!
Shaking my head to get rid of the little thoughts in my mind, I continued to ask, "Why are you angry at yourself?"
"I hurt you again."
"But this time you changed. You didn't kill me. That's progress. You have to believe in yourself. We succeeded."
“…”
"Why aren't you talking again?"
"But you are already dead, Xiao'e."
The chat master Chu Yingyu teaches you how to press the pain point. I deliberately rubbed the medicine on his wound vigorously. "Thank you for reminding me!"
"But you can live in Zhang Shan's body."
"No, I want to return it to the owner..."
"Our marriage is off the table. I will leave, and it's fine for you to be with Xiao Ruoyin. He's someone you can trust."
This time I really can't hold it in any longer. Xiao Ruoyin and I will really thank you.
"What kind of matchmaking are you doing? This is Zhang Shan's body, I want it back, and he only likes the original Zhang Shan!"
The person in front of me suddenly turned around nervously, stared at me and asked, "Where will you go then? Reincarnation?"
"Well, maybe it's returning to my own body. I haven't tried to see if I can return to my original form yet. Maybe now I can."
"Resurrection from the dead, can it really happen?"
"You don't seem to want me to be resurrected?"
"no!"
"Why do I feel like you're so reserved after waking up? Where's my calm and collected Number One Killer?"
“…”
Chu Yingyu felt a bit pressured. He lowered his head, unconsciously tugging at the quilt. Fortunately, he wasn't a slow-witted person, nor did he want to be guessed at. He quickly told me about the emotions hidden deep in his heart.
"I don't expect to be forgiven by you. The fact that you, who I killed, were able to come back to life must be a gift from God. I am so lucky to see you like this. But I will never forget that I hurt you, and I don't deserve to stay by your side anymore."
I showed an expression of satisfaction like an old mother. A man who can reflect on himself is a good man.
There are only two things I have to do right now. One is to return Zhang Shan's body to health, and the other is to see Chu Yingyu recover both physically and mentally and be able to pick up the sword again. Success is not far away.
I smiled unconsciously, applied the medicine, and put the clothes on him. I said happily, "I forgive you."
Chu Yingyu was stunned. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed. His expression was frozen in shock, and finally a bitter smile trembled at the corners of his mouth.
He was sad, but I didn't understand his emotions at that moment.
"But you have to live a good life in the future. Learn to deal with your emotions on your own, make friends, and treat someone sincerely. You won't see them as a weakness. You will become stronger because of that person! Just like Yun Wuyou, yes, he is your role model. But he wasn't cursed, so you've done a great job, A-Chu!"
"A-Achu?"
"It feels good to call it that, let's call it that from now on."
Hearing my completely nonchalant tone and looking at my relaxed and carefree look, he seemed to find it hard to accept.
"Don't doubt your life. I'm such a generous person. Seeing how miserable you were after killing me, I'm not angry anymore. I believe you truly loved me."
"Then we..."
"Maybe you'll find a better girl later!"
“…”
This sentence silenced Chu Yingyu. His dry voice could not utter a single word, and he showed a lonely look. Finally, his expression returned to the coldness he had when he was a killer.
"Achu, we will go to the Xuanyin Sect in three days. We will hold the succession ceremony and your joining ceremony together. Is that okay?"
“…”
"Achu?"
"I prefer you to call me Chu Yingyu."
"Why?"
"Achu sounds like a child."
Yes, I treat you as my younger brother now.
"You used to call me Xiaobai. Speaking of Xiaobai, I wonder how Laifu is doing."
"We can go see it."
"How dare you say that? You gave it to Aunt Ding!"
“…”
After I yelled at him, he looked away helplessly, which was a sign of guilt.
Chu Yingyu adapted well to the fact that he no longer worked as a killer. He was not the cold-blooded killer that Qu Yesi said. On the contrary, he was a considerate person.
It's that kind of thoughtfulness with a strange train of thought. I want to kill you, but I don't want you to die in such pain, so I practice my skills better and better so that I can achieve a painless salvation.
This can be considered a kind of mercy from the killer.
I looked at him with some joy, imagining the future. "In the future, you can become a chivalrous warrior who fights against the strong and helps the weak. You will no longer be a killer that everyone trembles in fear of, but a young hero Chu!"
"You really like heroes, not killers."
"No, anything is fine."
“…”
This kind of speech from the Sea King made him more resolute, and there was a hint of confidence in his eyes. "Xiao E likes those who are upright, strong and good-looking."
“It’s human nature.”
"There are still many new talents in the arena."
At this point, I didn't pay any attention to what he said, and he didn't mention it again.
The next day, Wu Yunran developed a new prescription, claiming it could combat the poison. Speaking of overcoming the Nine Nether Gu, the genius doctor seemed a bit excited, as if he were using Chu Yingyu as a guinea pig.
Chu Baishu was very cooperative and obedient. It was obvious that he really wanted to be a good person, which was a far cry from his previous indifferent attitude.
Wu Yunran also took out a Buddhist scripture from his arms. We leaned over to take a look and saw the words "Ming Yu Heart Sutra" written on it.
Xiao Ruoyin: "If he reads it a few times a day, he will be able to become a monk, right?"
Wu Yunran said seriously, "Restraining the desires within is also part of suppressing the poison. We need to be thorough. We don't need to read the scriptures, we can just send him to Shaolin Temple to beat the wooden fish and ring the bell, so that his mind is as calm as water."
"I will recite the sutras, once in the morning and once in the evening, and reflect on myself every day." Chu Yingyu promised as if he was holding a treasure.
Wu Yunran: "This is the awareness of the number one killer."
Chu Yingyu: "I'm not a killer anymore, I'm a follower of the Xuanyin Sect."
Xiao Ruoyin: "You are not just an ordinary believer, you are the fourth Dharma Protector, you should set an example for the believers."
Me: "But he hasn't recovered his previous martial arts level yet, don't force him to do anything."
Xiao Ruoyin tutted his words, "Just spoil him! You only know how to let the Xuanyin Sect protect him. At least give me some help!"
Wu Yunran: "Oh, fighting?"
Xiao Ruoyin: "I won't fight! I'm not jealous!"
After glaring at me, Xiao Ruoyin left angrily.
Although I'm not jealous, maybe I think I've eaten dog food, so I'm angry? I thought about it and decided to return the body before returning to Xuanyin Sect to avoid any more trouble.
At night, I called Xiao Ruoyin to Chu Yingyu's room, and I began to explain things to the two of them.
"Achu, you must take good care of your injuries and return to peak condition as soon as possible. Xiao Ruoyin, you have returned to the Xuanyin Sect, please help me take care of him. After all, he is my brother."
Xiao Ruoyin scoffed: "...married siblings?"
Me: "Nothing happened at all! That marriage doesn't count! Ah, anyway, Chu and I are no longer in that kind of relationship, and he doesn't want to be with me anymore, right?"
Chu Yingyu said nothing.
Xiao Ruoyin glanced at the other person and said, "Why do I feel that this is not the case at all?"
"Okay, anyway, even though I've left Zhang Shan's body, my ghost is watching you. There's a ghost hovering over you, A-Chu, don't mess around anymore!"
Chu Yingyu, who was reminded by me, nodded honestly.
I slid onto the bed, clasped my hands together, and settled into a beautiful sleeping position. Then, in a single movement, I drifted out of Zhang Shan's body. This time, I paid special attention to the white light I had previously ignored. It was still there before my eyes, something I could touch.
It was flickering and had some kind of attraction for me.
But my attention was diverted again because the person in the bed had not woken up yet.
A quarter of an hour passed and nothing happened.
Xiao Ruoyin held the other person's hand, a faint feeling of foreboding. I floated cross-legged behind Chu Yingyu, looking at Zhang Shan, who still showed no signs of waking up, and I also felt that something was wrong.
Chu Yingyu tried to comfort him and said, "Wait a little longer."
So, the anxious Xiao Ruoyin waited patiently for another half an hour.
Still not awake.
Xiao Ruoyin's patience ran out, and he said to the void: "Qin Xiao'e, come back and tell me what's going on!"
I quickly rolled back into Zhang Shan's body, and then saw Chu Yingyu pull the somewhat excited Xiao Ruoyin away and add fuel to the fire.
"Your senior sister may have died and given her body to Xiao'e."
“…”
"Actually, you should be content. At least your senior sister is still in good health—"
"Shhh!"
Shut up, you genius chatterbox! Can't you see the other person's eyes are about to pop out of their heads? Not only Xiao Ruoyin can't accept this, I can't accept this ending either!
I covered his sweet little mouth with my hand. If he continued talking like that, I was afraid that Xiao Ruoyin would turn around and pierce him again with the Dragon Scale Sword.
