Even before the hurried footsteps entered the room, the girl's clear voice rang out.
"You're finally awake!"
Do you know how long you've been asleep?
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl rushed to the bedside and plopped down on the edge of the bed.
Liu Yunqing was sizing up the girl and hadn't even had a chance to speak when the girl raised three fingers and said:
"Three months! You slept for a full three months!"
"Grandpa the witch doctor said that if you don't wake up within three days, you'll never wake up again."
"You're really lucky!"
The girl chattered on and on, and it took her a while to realize what was happening. Liu Yunqing, who had remained silent, immediately said apologetically:
"Oh dear! I was so excited to see you take so long to wake up that I forgot you're still very weak. Lie down quickly!"
As he spoke, he reached out to push Liu Yunqing.
Aside from speaking in a duck-like voice and not being able to sense any spiritual energy within her body, Liu Yunqing felt no discomfort. Just as she was about to say that she was alright, with a light push from the girl, she fell down uncontrollably.
If Liu Yunqing hadn't reacted quickly and moved the cup away in time, the whole cup of water would have been poured over her head.
The girl had no idea how much force it took to push Liu Yunqing down with such a light touch.
He quickly adjusted Liu Yunqing's pillow and blanket before sitting down on the stool, propping his elbows on the edge of the bed, cupping his face in his hands, and curiously examining Liu Yunqing.
You are so beautiful!
The young girl praised Liu Yunqing generously and continued:
"My name is Wu Lingling, and I'm the ninth child in my family. You can call me Xiao Jiu. What's your name?"
Why were you injured? And why are you in the Sun River?
Wu Lingling's words were too numerous for Liu Yunqing to answer, so he only picked the two most recent questions that seemed like problems and replied:
"My name is Zhenru. I don't know why I came here. I was knocked away by someone during a fight, and when I woke up, I was here."
"Huh?" Wu Lingling's expression was somewhat complicated upon hearing Liu Yunqing's reply.
His gaze lingered on Liu Yunqing's slender body for a moment, then he reached out and squeezed her shoulder, saying:
"Your body is really not up to par. How could you have been knocked all the way here by the aftermath of someone else's fight?"
The thought of Liu Yunqing's weakness deepened Wu Lingling's expression of sympathy, and she also became more relaxed.
Someone with such weak strength could be easily defeated by any warrior from Sun Valley. How could she possibly have ulterior motives towards Sun Valley?
After realizing that Liu Yunqing posed no threat, Wu Lingling became even more enthusiastic towards him.
After all, it's rare for people to come to the valley, and when one finally does, how can one suppress the excitement and curiosity in their heart?
Just when Liu Yunqing thought she was about to faint from Wu Lingling's incessant chatter, someone else arrived.
Several people came this time, and the leader of them was an old man with a frail face, long eyebrows, and a long beard.
It's not hard to guess that the others were the ones who, along with Wu Lingling, rescued Liu Yunqing and brought her back to Sun Valley.
Liu Yunqing first stood up, bowed to the old man, then glanced at Wu Lingling, and said to the others:
"My name is Zhenru. Thank you all for saving me."
The people here dress in a primitive and wild style, mostly using fur and animal bones as raw materials, reflecting their simple and honest nature.
Upon seeing Liu Yunqing express her gratitude, the others quickly returned the greeting.
Only the old man, known as the witch doctor, stared at Liu Yunqing for a while before taking out a medicinal pillow and gesturing for Liu Yunqing to place his hand on it.
After examining Liu Yunqing's condition and noticing a significant improvement, the old man's brows furrowed even more.
"Your injuries have fully healed, and there isn't even a trace of internal damage left."
Liu Yunqing remained calm and thanked the old witch doctor again with a smile, attributing her recovery to the old witch doctor's superb medical skills.
The old witch doctor gave her a deep look, nodded, and said:
"Since you're alright, then rest well and leave once you're completely recovered."
Liu Yunqing didn't ask anything, just smiled and nodded, showing no embarrassment at being kicked out.
Seeing this, the old witch doctor gave Liu Yunqing a warning look, then got up and left the guest room.
As soon as the old witch doctor left, the people in the guest room couldn't sit still and all crowded around Liu Yunqing.
Besides asking her about her health and confirming that she was alright, he started asking Liu Yunqing all sorts of random questions.
Finally, seeing that Liu Yunqing looked unwell, Wu Lingling shouted and, on the grounds that Liu Yunqing needed to rest, kicked everyone else out.
Including herself.
Once the room was completely quiet, Liu Yunqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, she really needs some peace and quiet to think about some things.
If Liu Yunqing's senses were not mistaken, that old witch doctor was clearly a cultivator.
Even though the other party was extremely cautious, Liu Yunqing could still sense a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy when the other party applied the acupuncture needles.
Liu Yunqing was a little confused by the warning glance he had just received. Was it a warning not to expose his identity as a cultivator, or a warning not to act rashly?
However, none of this matters; Liu Yunqing has no penchant for repaying kindness with enmity.
After being ordered by Wu Lingling's maid, Liu Yunqing was made to stay in bed and rest obediently for three days before she was allowed to get up and get out of bed.
Feeling the emptiness within her body, with no spiritual energy flowing through it, Liu Yunqing felt a moment of panic.
She hadn't experienced the life of an ordinary person for a long time, and now she could only walk step by step, which felt quite strange.
Xiao Yun and Xiao Cui followed Liu Yunqing and noticed that she was walking unsteadily. They assumed that her injuries had not fully healed and she was feeling a little uncomfortable.
The two dressed Liu Yunqing in clothes characteristic of Sun Valley, and then helped her walk out of the room, one on each side.
Xiaoyun was very lively, tilting her head and smiling as she said to Liu Yunqing:
"Miss Zhenru, Miss Jiu and the others have gone to attend to other matters, so Xiao Cui and I will show Miss Zhenru around Sun Valley!"
Liu Yunqing readily agreed.
Stepping out of the guest room, Liu Yunqing was greeted by an endless expanse of lush greenery.
As far as the eye can see, there are clusters of houses, like flowers blooming on a green carpet.
In the very center of this verdant expanse, a straight and wide river divides the greenery in two.
At this moment, the sun shines brightly under a clear sky, casting a golden glow that makes the calm river surface shimmer, adding a touch of mysterious warmth to Sun Valley.
Just as Liu Yunqing was walking towards the riverbank, wanting to enjoy the river breeze, he suddenly saw a series of bubbles rise from the water.
Just as Liu Yunqing looked up to check, there was a "splash" sound, and a figure suddenly jumped out from underwater, startling Liu Yunqing so much that she took several steps back.
Even so, the water droplets stirred up by the underwater people splashed all over Liu Yunqing.
"Sixth Brother! Don't be naughty with the guests!"
