Tai Yanli's injuries were severe, and they couldn't persuade those high-level alchemists to come (it wasn't enough to just have spirit crystals; they needed something that would tempt them or power). They could only buy some healing pills to tide them over, and Tai Yanli's condition was getting worse and worse.
Ye Liusha of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, a veteran of countless battles, had fought against ancient beasts in the ancient domain since childhood. His swordsmanship was superb and his experience was rich. Even so, he was injured when he entered the forest, and his injuries were very serious.
In a one-on-one fight, neither of them could match Ye Liusha, and their combat experience was nowhere near Ye Liusha's. To suffer such a huge setback on their first visit, it would be a lie for Tai Yanli and Tai Yanheng to say they didn't regret it.
"So it was you who dragged him down. If it weren't for you, he would be happily shopping for ingredients every day, strolling around the streets, observing the people's conditions, and tasting local delicacies. You almost caused his death." Ye Xiruo's face was very ugly.
Princes Tai Yanheng and Tai Yanli are quite different. Tai Yanli is rather weak-willed, basically a pushover. Tai Yanheng, on the other hand, is impulsive, easily angered, and prone to causing trouble. He's not very bright, and in most cases, Tai Yanli is the one who cleans up his messes.
Therefore, Ye Xiruo really dislikes Tai Yanheng, who is arrogant and conceited. He only asked for trouble and dragged others down with him. He's such a terrible teammate.
Tai Yanheng lowered his head. Ye Xiruo was right; he had implicated Eleventh Brother. "I was wrong. I beg you to save him. He is innocent. I will do anything you ask, just save him."
"Lead the way." Although she disliked the guy in front of her, Ye Xiruo didn't intend to leave him to die.
There were sixteen of them in total when they arrived at the Blue Ocean Continent. Two of them had already died on the way, leaving only fourteen. Unless they did something heinous or inhumane, Ye Xiruo still didn't want them to die.
Shi Taiyanheng led the way, with Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu following behind.
They were staying at an inn, a mid-range room in a mid-range inn, and they had booked one room for the two of them. When they opened the door, the room was simply furnished. Tai Yanli lay pale and lifeless in the simple inn. The doors and windows of the inn were tightly closed, and there was an unpleasant smell of medicinal herbs.
"Go open the doors and windows to let in fresh air; it will be good for the patient."
Tai Yanheng hurriedly went to open the window, while Ye Xiruo took out two flowerpots and threw in two seeds. A surge of wood-attribute true energy flowed from her fingertips, and the two seeds in the flowerpots visibly took root, sprouted, and grew, eventually blooming into two pots of vibrant roses, which were placed on the table.
Next, Ye Xiruo took Tai Yanli's pulse and found that his internal energy was disordered, indicating that he had suffered serious internal injuries, which had already dragged on for several days.
Ye Xiruo glared fiercely at Tai Yanheng. That jinx! If it weren't for him, Tai Yanli wouldn't be lying half-dead in bed. The medicine Tai Yanli had been taking these past few days had neither worked nor worked; at best, it had only kept his injuries from worsening. A full recovery was virtually impossible.
"How is Eleventh Brother's injury?" Tai Yanheng asked anxiously from the side. Ye Xiruo replied irritably, "He won't die."
The Azure Yang True Qi instantly flew out from Ye Xiruo's fingertips, enveloping Tai Yanli's entire body and nourishing his injuries. Some minor wounds were even healed directly.
After a quarter of an hour, Ye Xiruo withdrew her Qingyang True Qi, drank some water, and waited for Tai Yanli to wake up.
Sure enough, after a while, Tai Yanli slowly opened his eyes, still looking a little confused: "Twenty, how did I get here?"
"You were injured, so I carried you back."
"You're awake," Ye Xiruo asked calmly.
"Young Master, what are you doing here?"
"Of course, someone invited me here." Tai Yanheng lowered his head in shame.
"In any case, thank you for saving me, Young Master." Tai Yanli felt much better now.
Ye Xiruo took out two bottles of pills from her spatial ring and poured out a small healing pill from the white bottle: "Eat this, and your injuries should be mostly healed. Take the rest, one a day, and you'll be fully healed in half a month." Ye Xiruo placed the cyan bottle on Tai Yanli's bedside.
"Thank you so much for saving me, Young Master. I have no way to repay you."
"These are all pure white spirit crystals. I'll put them on your tab for now. Don't even think about renege on the debt. If you die, I'll go back and ask Emperor Taiyan for them."
"I will take good care of myself, work hard to earn money, and try to pay off my debts as soon as possible."
"I'm leaving now. You get some rest."
"Thank you, Young Master."
Ye Xiruo turned to Tai Yanheng and said, "Don't go out and cause trouble these next few days. Stay in your room and take good care of him and these two pots of flowers."
"I see."
Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu left the inn.
Tai Yanheng stood in front of Tai Yanli's bed with a guilty look on his face: "Eleventh Brother, I was wrong. Now that you've recovered from your injuries, you can punish me however you want."
“We could have been friends, but you ruined it all.”
"I'm sorry, Eleventh Brother, I will apologize to the Young Master."
"She won't accept it. The moment we left, she had already given up on us." How could someone as proud as Ye Xiruo allow betrayal and hurt?
"Eleventh Brother, I was really wrong."
Tai Yanli is very tired and confused.
"Brother, you should get your wounds healed quickly."
After taking the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill, Tai Yanli began to heal his injuries. The Lesser Rejuvenation Pill given by Ye Xiruo was a top-grade pill with strong repair capabilities. By evening, Tai Yanli's injuries had mostly healed, and he was able to get out of bed.
"Eleventh Brother, you're awake."
"I'm much better now."
"Eleventh Brother, as long as you're alright, that's all that matters."
Tai Yanli's gaze immediately fell on the fiery red rose: "Where did this come from?"
"The young master planted them himself."
"We were really wrong."
"It's all my fault, and I will take full responsibility."
After Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu cured Tai Yanli, they returned to the small courtyard, which was now completely different from what it used to be.
Six chefs were working busily, while others assisted, washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, mincing meat, and preparing side dishes—everything was in perfect order.
A long queue stretched from inside to outside, all people who had come to buy the food after hearing about it. Ye Xiruo had prepared the menu in advance, and the prices of the dishes were very reasonable.
They were targeting the high-end market, not the low-profit, high-volume, mass-market approach, and she had confidence in their food. Sure enough, the high prices weren't a problem at all; more and more people were lining up to buy their dishes. They should have already started breaking even in the last few days, and in a couple more days, they'd definitely be making a profit. Plus, their restaurant's reputation was spreading – a double win!
