Chapter 87 A Sword Cultivator Falls in Love with a Sword Spirit
What happened that night scared everyone, especially the Du family and Pei Xingyao.
When she was carried into the ambulance, even the iron-faced devil Zhong Shusui's face was full of accusations, but Du Wanwan could swear to heaven that she really didn't mean it.
She didn't expect that her body was so weak. She thought of herself as the indestructible swordsman from the bottom of her heart.
Unfortunately, her body is so weak.
Eleven hours had passed since they entered the Chou Bumei Bar and finally left the dark suburban mansion. Even a normal person wouldn't be able to handle an entire night of sleep, let alone Du Wanwan, who had just recovered from a serious illness.
The doctor said that she was almost unconscious when she got on the ambulance, but Du Wanwan felt that she was still conscious at the time.
She remembered that she could still utter one or two words faintly: "Zhang... You..."
Her poor driver was implicated by him and is probably injured now. He needs to be checked out.
"I know, let me arrange it." Pei Xingyao assured, his voice full of uncontrollable anger.
Du Wanwan experienced Pei Xingyao's anger for the first time. It was a novelty, but also quite amusing. She wanted to say, "You're not much better, are you?" But she couldn't bring herself to say it, so she simply fell asleep in peace.
She either fainted or was too sleepy and in urgent need of sleep, in short, she was too sleepy.
——
When Du Wanwan woke up the next day, she found herself in the hospital. Luo Zhen, Yu Jiani, Shang Yunle, and a large group of people were guarding her bedside, each of them looking as if they were facing a great enemy.
Seeing that she had woken up, Luo Zhen and the others immediately rushed over to her and asked nervously, "Miss, how are you feeling? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Du Wanwan tried to move. "Except for a slight pain in my feet, I don't feel any discomfort anywhere. Where's Pei Xingyao? How's Zhang You?"
Luo Zhen had a stern face and refused to believe it. He insisted that Shang Yunle give her a thorough examination to confirm that she was really fine before telling her what happened.
The first sentence at the beginning is: "Miss, I am old, please don't scare me like this in the future."
Du Wanwan didn't tell him anything. Everyone in the Du family first noticed that the eldest daughter hadn't returned home late at night. They called, but neither she nor Pei Xingyao answered. Luo Zhen was almost scared to death and didn't hesitate to call the police. Finally, at daybreak, he received a notification from the Xuanguan Bureau, only to learn that Pei Xingyao and Du Wanwan were both at the Metaphysics Hospital.
Luo Zhen said: "I took two quick-acting heart pills at that time."
Du Wanwan admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, Grandpa Luo, I made you worry."
Luo Zhen sighed.
Then, Yu Jiani told Du Wanwan other news.
It was already early morning when they left the mansion by the river, and it was already morning when the ambulance took them back to Jiangcheng.
At the time, Du Wanwan's old injuries, which had damaged her meridians, had recurred, and ordinary hospitals couldn't treat them. As for Pei Xingyao, Xia Yinqing had used all sorts of forbidden spells to injure him. The injuries were both external and magical, and ordinary hospitals couldn't treat them. Zhang You was rescued from his room by inspectors, still unconscious. Although he had no external injuries, he had been under the control of the system for a long time, and no one knew if he would have sustained any residual mental damage.
So the medical staff in the ambulance discussed it and took all three of them directly to the Metaphysics Hospital. Zhang You stayed in the hospital for a month for observation. Pei Xingyao performed a spell removal treatment and rebandaged the external injuries. He insisted on staying by her bedside, so the hospital gave him a sleeping pill and sent him to the next ward.
"The effect of the medicine hasn't worn off yet." Yu Jiani checked the time. "It'll take another hour. Miss, what on earth were you doing last night?"
"This must be kept confidential. I can only tell you after I'm notified by the Xuanguan Bureau." Du Wanwan then perfunctorily passed it over. The matter had already passed, and she didn't want anyone to know so many inside stories and add to her worries.
Now, she only wanted to know one thing: "Doctor Shang, has my sword palace recovered?"
"You felt it too?" Shang Yunle nodded.
While Du Wanwan was asleep, she had already conducted a thorough examination.
"The toxins in your sword palace have been removed. After a while, your meridians will be gradually repaired."
Before Du Wanwan could say anything, Luo Zhen and the others were already asking in surprise and delight, "Doctor Shang, what does this mean? Does this mean our young lady is almost well?"
"It's still far from 'good,'" Shang Yunle continued, his aloof and difficult demeanor lowered as he examined the report, preparing to sign. "I'm only saying that the toxins in her sword chamber have been removed, that's all. Her body is too badly damaged, and this job won't be over for another year or two. Even if the toxins are removed, her sword chamber has been eroded and shrunken beyond recognition, worse than a newborn baby, and there's still a lot of work to do."
But this means that her sword palace is back, right?
So, last night was not an illusion. There really was a connection between her and Pei Xingyao that others could not understand.
Her sword palace and her spirit sword returned at once.
Du Wanwan thought happily, finally understanding why she had a sword palace at birth, and also reconfirmed why Pei Xingyao could accurately find her location last night.
Because her spirit sword arrived with her when she was reincarnated, she was born with a sword palace. Last night, the toxins in her sword palace were completely cleared, and the natural connection between the sword palace, spirit sword, and herself as the sword master was restored. Even if the navigation system failed, Pei Xingyao could still accurately find herself based on her inner intuition.
Her precious spiritual sword... The more Du Wanwan thought about it, the happier she became. She completely rejected everyone's advice to have a good rest. After all, her minor ankle sprain had been cured by the medicine.
So, Du Wanwan tiptoed to the next room.
On the hospital bed, Assistant Pei, covered in gauze, was resting.
He lay quietly in bed, his brows serene, a trace of worry still on his pale face, but he couldn't resist the sleeping drug and was forced into a deep sleep. Sleep made his brows look particularly deep, and melted away that hint of coldness.
Du Wanwan pulled a chair and sat beside the bed, supporting her cheek with one hand, looking at him quietly.
Only at this moment did Du Wanwan realize that she had never looked at his face carefully.
Because she had no concept of male beauty or ugliness, her feelings for Pei Xingyao were completely natural. She didn't like being pursued by other men, but she never felt any aversion to Pei Xingyao.
The liking for someone seems to be innate, regardless of whether one is beautiful or ugly.
Besides... well, it's definitely not that beauty is in the eyes of her lover, her Assistant Pei is just extremely beautiful.
Perhaps he sensed her presence, her gaze was more powerful than any sleeping pill. After just a moment, Pei Xingyao's quietly sleeping eyelashes moved, and his eyes suddenly opened.
His eyes were hazy at first, perhaps he was suspecting that he was having a wonderful, unrealistic dream.
So Du Wanwan smiled and said, "I found that you are really quite handsome."
These words obviously wouldn't appear in his dream; only the real Du Wanwan could say them. Pei Xingyao instantly realized she was really close, and was startled, trying to sit up. "How are you? Where..."
"Don't move." Du Wanwan pressed her hand against his chest. Her soft, boneless hand, without a single ounce of strength, managed to push Assistant Pei back onto the bed. "I'm fine. But you, with all your injuries, just lie still."
Pei Xingyao finally woke up completely to this extraordinary tenderness and the long-awaited intimacy.
It turns out that everything that happened yesterday was not a dream.
At first it was a nightmare of fear, which was real, then it turned into a beautiful dream that he dared not even think about. Until now, he still doubted the reality of those things. He still wanted to move his hands, touch her, and make sure she was safe.
But every time he moved, the pain spread all over his body, reminding him of what he heard when he was injured.
Pei Xingyao's gaze changed instantly, and he suddenly didn't dare to meet her eyes that were as clear as autumn water.
"What?" Du Wanwan thought that after he woke up, the two of them would have a romantic chat like in an idol drama. Unexpectedly, after Pei Xingyao woke up, his first reaction was to avoid her sight?
If it weren't for the amazing connection between them, who knows how much misunderstanding would have happened.
"Why are you avoiding me? Is there something on your mind?" Du Wanwan asked curiously, "What did your injury make you think of? What did that rat say?"
Pei Xingyao's whole body stiffened.
Du Wanwan felt a little uneasy.
The downside of two people being so connected is that they know each other's emotions too well. Whether it's happiness, worry, regret, or annoyance, they can't hide even the slightest emotion from each other.
Because of the relationship between the Sword Master and the Spirit Sword, they were almost completely frank with each other. Would he feel uncomfortable?
After hesitating for a moment, Pei Xingyao nodded honestly: "Yeah."
There was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, but there was no impatience, nor was there any discomfort at the inability to conceal the situation between the two of them.
Du Wanwan felt a little more relaxed, a smile beginning to form on her lips. "I wanted to ask you yesterday, what kind of nonsense was that mouse saying? You actually took it to heart, suddenly rushing up to fight him without hesitation. Aren't you stupid? What? Do you really believe those nonsense?"
She guessed correctly, so he was more able to be honest.
He never wanted to hide anything from her. In the past, he had to do that, but now he had no choice but to be honest.
"I...I think he's right." Pei Xingyao felt his throat dry. "That's who I am."
Du Wanwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What?"
"That's right... that's right. I did think that." Pei Xingyao confessed honestly, "He's right. I really did have those dirty thoughts. I... I'm not worthy of you. I'm no different from other men."
He wanted to possess her just as much as he did, and he wanted to do all those dirty things with her just as much.
"Hey, what era are you from? How can the pleasure between a boyfriend and a girlfriend be simply summarized as a physical relationship? So, according to you, married couples shouldn't have sex? Passionate sex is beautiful, not something to be ashamed of."
Du Wanwan was now certain that this was her spiritual sword. How could such an outdated idea come from this brain, when it came from a spiritual sword that had been passed down for thousands of years?
Pei Xingyao's breathing suddenly became tense because of her choice of words.
She, she said...
"Yeah, that's right, I said, boyfriend and girlfriend." Du Wanwan leaned over, put her head close to his ear, and whispered, "Pei Xingyao, let's fall in love!"
Assistant Pei's ears turned red, but he bravely grabbed her hand and nodded, saying, "Okay."
What's the first step in a relationship? Is it confession?
Pei Xingyao licked his dry lips, held her hand tightly, and expressed his feelings again: "Ms. Du Wanwan, I like you."
This wasn't the first time Du Wanwan had been confessed to, but it was the first time she truly felt how joyful it was to be confessed to. It was like... like a miser hearing the four words with the greatest market value. That moment was more satisfying than winning ten million when she was still a pauper, and it made her even happier.
She couldn't help but ask, "Say it again."
"I like you."
It sounds so nice. Du Wanwan smiled softly, feeling his hands coming up and touching her lips with great care.
He kissed her gently and tenderly. After confirming that she had no objections and was not uncomfortable, he leaned in and kissed her slowly.
They had no skills, no experience, and were both quite green. But what did it matter? Lovers instinctively drew close to each other.
So sweet.
It’s great to be in love with someone you like.
"Pei Xingyao, I like you too."
——
Du Wanwan and Pei Xingyao thus confirmed their relationship as lovers.
How should lovers get along? Maybe they still need some time to figure it out. But that's okay, just take your time.
They'll have plenty of time later.
Du Wanwan made up her mind and decided to try out all the romantic experiences between lovers.
In comparison, Pei Xingyao was much more nervous.
He is alone and doesn't care about anything in the world except Du Wanwan. But besides him, there are many people around Du Wanwan who care about her.
Those are what she cares about.
He wanted to protect everything she cared about.
Typically, Pei Xingyao was worried that the Du family, including Du Wanwan's relatives and friends, would not accept him. He was also worried that if the outside world knew about his relationship, they would doubt his deep affection for Du Wanwan because of his identity, thus tarnishing Du Wanwan's image.
It seems that in the eyes of some people, if a woman wants to become a strong woman, the first thing she has to give up is love.
Pei Xingyao remembered that when he first became an assistant, everyone suspected that he was favored by the eldest lady because of his outstanding appearance, and suspected that he would become the next Phoenix scumbag, and that they would be another version of Ms. Du Qingjia and Xiang Yongkang. They suspected that as long as he got the legal status of husband, he would start cheating and make Du Wanwan another Ms. Du.
He was prepared to deal with suspicious looks and tests from all sides, but he didn't expect that everyone in the Du family was very accepting of the close relationship between the eldest lady and Assistant Pei.
Everyone accepted the fact that the two of them were together perfectly. After Pei Xingyao was discharged from the hospital, everyone tacitly agreed to create opportunities for the two of them to be alone together from time to time.
"What are you worrying about?" Back at the Du residence, Du Wanwan became the confident young lady again. "Who dares to question the person I choose? You have to trust my judgment. Be confident, Assistant Pei. Where's your ruthlessness to conquer the world?"
Pei Xingyao finally let go and began to fall in love with his girlfriend.
When a sword cultivator falls in love with a sword spirit, the result is still different in the end.
There is always a lack of love and romance between them. The future is still very long. The sword cultivator who is not very romantic and the sword spirit who is not very romantic need to work harder.
As for marriage?
Du Wanwan and Pei Xingyao agreed that it was best to focus on their careers at this point. The Xia family issue had been resolved, but Runjia Investment still had a lot of things to deal with, and Du Wanwan's position as chairman wasn't particularly secure.
"That is to say, the two of them decided to spend 5% of their time every day dating, and the remaining 95% of their time, as chairman and assistant, working hard?" Zhong Shusui couldn't help but complain when he heard that Du Wanwan and Pei Xingyao were together.
There was a moment when he had some interest in Du Wanwan.
But now it seems that I should forget it.
Only Pei Xingyao can be without regrets towards a workaholic like Du Wanwan.
He really can't do it.
"Boss, how good are we?" the deputy captain complained, almost fainting.
For the Xia family case, they worked overtime for more than half a month before finally issuing a formal police report.
