Rainy Night
Sima Changfeng knelt in despair in the storm, he didn't understand why everything had turned out like this. The old man from the frontier and Gu Mutian were desperately trying to send Qi to Yan'er and Sai Huatuo in the house, but could they really wake up?
"If I had put aside the grudges in the martial arts world earlier, found a beautiful place with Yan'er, let go of the hatred and live a peaceful life, would all this not have happened? But things have come to this point... God, if you still have eyes, please save Yan'er, save Sai Hua Tuo! I, Sima Changfeng, am willing to shorten my life by ten years, just to exchange for their lives!" Changfeng prayed silently.
In the rain, Chou Doufu silently guarded and accompanied Changfeng, praying in his heart: "God, if you really have a spirit, please save Shangguan Yan and my brother. I, Huangfu Renhe, am willing to shorten my life by ten years in exchange for their lives!"
Suddenly, an unfamiliar female voice was heard: "No one needs to shorten their lifespan."
"Who?!" Changfeng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a petite woman standing in the wind and rain with an umbrella, slowly walking towards Chou Doufu and Sima Changfeng.
Sima Changfeng tightly grasped the Dragon Soul Blade, stared at the uninvited guest warily, and asked, "Who are you?"
The woman snorted and said, "Sima Changfeng, if you really want to save them, don't kneel in the rain like a coward. Save your energy and come with me into the house. Stinky tofu, oh no, City Lord, you come too." After that, she walked straight to the healing room.
Chou Doufu and Sima Changfeng looked at each other, nodded, and followed closely.
Inside, the old man from the frontier and Gu Mutian were channeling Qi into Shangguan Yan and Ouyang Mingri, but hope remained slim. The two elders shook their heads, their strength on the verge of collapse. Yet, the two elders, unwilling to admit defeat, persisted in channeling Qi into their beloved disciples.
"Creaky----" the door suddenly opened and a strange woman walked into the room.
"Who is it?!" Gu Mutian roared.
"Two seniors, I have a way, but it can only save one person," said the woman.
"Do you really have a way? Who are you?" asked the old man from the border.
The woman seemed to have not heard the old man's question at all, and continued to herself, "Each of you is sending your true energy to your beloved disciple separately, and each of you only has a 30% chance of success. Why don't you join forces and inject 60% of hope into one person?"
"What do you mean?" The old man from the frontier seemed to understand something.
"Saving people is like putting out a fire. Should we disperse our strength and lose both in the end, or should we try our best and work together to save one person? Think about it carefully. I'm going to ask Chou Doufu for something useful for them. Senior Frontier, Senior Ancient, Sima Changfeng, I hope you've discussed it when I come back." After saying that, he pulled Chou Doufu out.
"Girl, where are we going now?" asked Chou Doufu.
"Go find your father-in-law," the woman said.
All of this left Chou Doufu baffled. Who was this woman, and why did she know so much about them? Why was she helping them? How did she know how to save Big Brother and Shangguan Yan? How did she find them? And how could she have known that he'd lost ten years of his life in prayer? Was this a divine intervention?
Or perhaps she was some otherworldly master? Or perhaps she was a rising star in the martial arts world? Could she be a member of the Divine Moon Sect? If so, why would she save them?
"Just believe me, whether it's good or bad, this is the only chance," said the woman.
Stinky Tofu was shocked: Can she really hear what I say in my heart?
Ouyang Feiying squatted beside the bed, staring blankly at the raging storm. On a night like this, as an old man, he felt inexplicably sad. But why was he sad? Ouyang Feiying was already mad, his mind like a child, but how could he explain the loneliness deep in his heart?
Stinky Tofu called out, "Father-in-law."
"Father-in-law?" Ouyang Feiying repeated blankly.
"Uncle Ouyang, I know that you have done many foolish things in the past, which have harmed your son, daughter and niece. Now your son Ouyang Mingri and niece Shangguan Yan need your help. Are you willing to save them?" said the woman.
"Tomorrow? What happened to Tomorrow? Tomorrow!" Ouyang Feiying was terrified and shook the woman vigorously: "Tomorrow, my Tomorrow, please save my Tomorrow, I beg you!"
"There is a way to save them. Although I'm not completely sure, we can at least try it. It requires your blood. Are you willing?" the woman asked.
"Yes, I'm willing to do anything as long as I can save Mingri!" Ouyang Feiying said.
"Let's call the imperial physician now so that he can treat his wound in time." The woman said to Chou Doufu.
"Okay," said Chou Doufu, "Come here, call the imperial physician."
In the room, Gu Mutian, the old man from the frontier, and Sima Changfeng were silent.
After a long time, the old man from the border said tremblingly, "Save the little swallow."
Gu Mutian's eyes were glistening with tears: "Old buddy..."
"No, uncle," Sima Changfeng said, "Save Hua Tuo."
"Changfeng, Xiaoyan'er is your wife. Don't you want her to come back alive?" Gumutian's voice trembled.
Sima Changfeng said, "Of course I hope Yan'er can survive, but now I can only save one person. Sai Hua Tuo is a good friend of Yan'er and me. Yan'er and I owe him too much, and he has sacrificed too much. Moreover, the reason he has become what he is now is also because of Yan'er and me. If Yan'er knew, she would definitely support me in doing this."
In the wind and rain, Shangguan Yan's face was pale and beautiful.
Gu Mutian's eyes also became firm, and he said, "Changfeng is right, let's save Mingri."
This time it was the old man from the frontier who was in trouble. "This..."
"Stop worrying about this and that, save Mingri first!" said Gumutian.
"Have you agreed?" I heard the voice before I saw the person. As soon as the voice fell, the woman and Stinky Tofu came rushing in, exhausted. The woman was holding two teacups, two cups of blood.
"What is this?" asked the old man from the frontier.
"Ouyang Feiying's blood." The woman replied.
"Oh," the old man from the frontier slapped his forehead, "Why didn't I think of that!"
"Give it to both of them first, and then whoever you want to save, do your best to save him, and leave the other one to me." said the woman.
Shangguan Yan and Ouyang Mingri drank Ouyang Feiying's blood. Gu Mutian, the old man from the frontier, and Sima Changfeng sat around Ouyang Mingri and began to treat him with all their might. The woman sat behind Shangguan Yan and helped her heal her wounds.
Stinky Tofu stood guard outside the door, thinking, maybe this woman's method really works, maybe God has opened my eyes, maybe she is some kind of otherworldly expert. In short, Shangguan Yan and Big Brother are blessed by fate, and they will definitely get better. They will definitely get better. Big Brother, Shangguan Yan, you must get better!
Three hours later, the treatment finally concluded. The exhausted old man from the frontier and Gu Mutian had been put to bed by Chou Doufu, while Ouyang Mingri and Shangguan Yan rested in their respective rooms. Sima Changfeng stayed by Shangguan Yan's side, while Chou Doufu stayed by Ouyang Mingri's.
"Stinky tofu, oh no, City Lord," the woman said, "You go back and rest first, I'll stay here."
"No, no need. You've been tired all night, go to bed early. I'll stay here." Stinky Tofu said, "May I know your name, young lady?"
"My name is Leng Yue." said the woman.
"Miss Lengyue, you should go and have a rest." said Chou Doufu.
"No, I'll stay here." Leng Yue said, "The City Lord still has a lot of things to deal with, so don't refuse anymore."
"Okay, in that case, I'll go see my father-in-law. I'll leave Big Brother here to you, girl." Stinky Tofu said, "By the way, since we're friends, you can just call me Stinky Tofu. No need to be so polite."
"Whether it's stinky tofu or the city lord, as long as it's me, it's fine. City lord, go to bed early." Leng Yue said with a smile.
"Goodbye."
Leng Yue was terrified of nights filled with thunder and lightning, but at this moment, not only was she not afraid, she was actually somewhat delighted. The handsome young man before her, beneath the glare of thunder and lightning, seemed even more gentle and refined. How many women were captivated by him?
Now, he was so close. Taking care of him must be what Leng Yue was most proud of.
