Inside a well-decorated house, Jiang Yuan had been lying there for two days. After using the Hundredfold Hidden Kill, he was in a state of exhaustion, and each Holy Spirit Protection almost cost him his life.
Aside from using the Holy Spirit for protection, his only task was to heal his own injuries.
Unlike the previous loss of an arm, his injuries were spread all over his body. If he were to rely on regeneration, he would have to regenerate his entire body, which would require an astronomical amount of divine power.
The only thing that helped him was Leng Yue's recovery, but he himself underestimated the severity of his injuries. Although the Balance Messenger saved his life, it was clear that...
"Brother Yuan, I heard you threw a tantrum."
There was no door to the room, and the chubby boy strode in, carrying a gold meteorite plate in one hand and a roasted game in the other, which looked like freshly hunted prey.
"What do you mean by throwing a tantrum? I just want to go out. My injuries are all healed now! But Ning Yanlan won't let me leave!" Jiang Yuan rolled over and said speechlessly.
"That's not all. You can barely turn over. Are you planning to go out and feed the monsters?"
No sooner had Jiang Yuan finished speaking than Leng Yue walked in and said with a disdainful expression.
"With a man as domineering as me, do you think monsters would dare to eat me?" Jiang Yuan looked unconvinced.
Leng Yue rolled her eyes, but still sat by the bed and continued to use the Rejuvenation Technique to heal Jiang Yuan's injuries.
"I suffered internal injuries, and ordinary healing spells are too weak for me!" Jiang Yuan sighed. He looked behind the two of them and asked weakly after a while, "Um, where's Yan Lan? She's still angry with me!"
"She's not as petty as you!"
Leng Yue gave him a disgruntled look and said, "Didn't you say your mouth was so bland? She went to a nearby abandoned village to pick spiritual vegetables and find ingredients for you!"
"She went alone? What was she doing there? I was just saying it casually, I didn't say she wanted to eat!" Jiang Yuan struggled to get up to go and check.
"You should lie down. Ning Yanlan took the Heavenly Soul Child with her, and with the Stone's Breath, you won't encounter any danger!" Leng Yue felt a mix of emotions, a mixture of envy and other feelings.
"It's been half an hour already, she'll be in danger if she doesn't come back soon!"
"No, I have to go find her!"
After thinking it over, Jiang Yuan still felt he had to find her.
"Just stay here, she just got back and is throwing you a celebration party right now!" Leng Yue wished she could pin this guy down on the bed; he was such a busybody!
"A victory celebration banquet?" Jiang Yuan pressed, "What kind of victory celebration banquet is it?!"
"You wouldn't believe it, but this time, the beast tide in the South City caused at least 30% of the monsters that attacked the city to be lost!" Little Fatty said proudly.
"Impossible, how could it be 30%! I remember 10% was barely enough!" Jiang Yuan looked puzzled.
The sheer size of the beast tide is unimaginable to ordinary people. Given their previous actions, killing even 10% of them would already be an incredible and remarkable achievement, let alone 30%.
"Are you stupid? What's war all about!" Leng Yue's tone was sharp, but she explained with a smile, "It's about momentum! That day you disrupted the rhythm of the beast tide, and the people of Nancheng seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack. After paying a certain price, they killed the largest number of monsters since the beast tide began! Among them were three eighth-tier and one ninth-tier spirit beast!"
"Really?" Jiang Yuan clearly hadn't expected this.
"Especially the area around the North Gate of the South City, I heard that the North City Alliance stationed there annihilated hundreds of thousands of enemies, and several of them were so enraged that they broke through to the eighth rank in a desperate situation!" Little Fatty was extremely fond of that kind of battle, and he spoke with great passion.
"Humans already have eighth-tier warriors?" Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes. Breaking through strength is difficult; one way is through cultivation, and the other is through external aids.
"There are quite a few of them, but we'll have to wait until we get to Nancheng to see their actual strength!" Leng Yue is someone who looks at data, and she won't speak carelessly about things she's not sure about.
"I'm still a ways from breaking through to the seventh rank, what about you guys!" Jiang Yuan sighed.
His divine power limit has reached 102, but there is still a gap of 26 points between him and the threshold of 128 for the seventh rank. Obviously, this gap cannot be shortened during the time he stays at home.
"Brother Yuan, congratulate me! I've reached the sixth level of True Man!"
As he spoke, Little Fatty put down the game he was holding. "To celebrate my breakthrough to the sixth rank, I specially hunted a sixth-rank virgin chicken for you! Let me tell you, I've been observing this chicken for a long time. It's definitely a virgin chicken that's just started mating. Eating it will guarantee you more and more sexual happiness!"
Little Fatty gave Jiang Yuan a meaningful smile.
“You really should get some nourishment!” Leng Yue said without changing her expression.
"hiss!"
Jiang Yuan's facial muscles twitched. He desperately wanted to complain that none of these people were serious.
"Don't misunderstand me, I meant you need to improve your cultivation, not that!" Leng Yue's expression flashed with a hint of speechlessness as she said, "Right now, I have the highest energy level in the team, so I have an obligation to urge you all to cultivate diligently!"
"Really?" Jiang Yuan hadn't paid attention to Leng Yue's cultivation level these past two days. Hearing her words, he scanned her with his Heavenly Eye and was immediately surprised. "What have you been doing? Your strength has reached 117, and your soul energy is even higher than mine!"
"Thanks to you, you weren't sleeping with Ning Yanlan because you were injured, so I cultivated next to her using the intermediate-level Holy Spirit Source. I didn't expect my progress to be so rapid. Plus, I was constantly fighting monsters during the day, so my energy level reached this point!" Leng Yue explained the reason for her rapid progress in a calm manner. After she finished speaking, she frowned and then said, "So, I've decided that I'll sleep in your room from now on!"
"Holy crap, are you crazy? You're sleeping in our room, where am I supposed to sleep?" Jiang Yuan was clearly terrified. Was this even human language?
What are you talking about?
Just as the atmosphere among the three became awkward, Ning Yanlan walked in from outside. "I'm exhausted today! I traveled all over the country to make this meal!"
A table was set down with a thud, and Ning Yanlan then took out the food she had prepared beforehand from her storage ring.
"Yanlan, didn't I tell you not to wander around? You still went to pick spirit vegetables!" Jiang Yuan's tone was somewhat reproachful, but more than that, it was out of concern.
"Are you being mean to me?" Ning Yanlan pouted and stared at him as she put down the last plate of food.
"No! I'm just concerned about you!" Jiang Yuan said with a wry smile.
"If you care about me, then finish all the food on this table!" Ning Yanlan said resentfully.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"Here, here, Yuan-ge, have some spring chicken. I still prefer my sister-in-law's cooking!"
The sensible little fat boy handed the roasted chicken to Jiang Yuan, then happily sat down and prepared to eat.
"Didn't you say you could move around? Come down and eat. After you finish eating, I won't treat you like an injured person anymore!" Ning Yanlan's tone softened.
"By the way, the cave ants have already dug a tunnel into the South City today. We can prepare to enter the South City after we finish eating!" Leng Yue added a timely remark, as if the two women had already made a plan and were just waiting for Jiang Yuan's injuries to heal a little before they could take action.
"We can't eat this meal first!"
As soon as Jiang Yuan uttered those words, he was met with Ning Yanlan's murderous gaze.
"They must first be protected by the Holy Spirit."
