Chapter 93 - Starlight Body Tempering
Then, he reached out his hand, and very naturally, with a touch of unfamiliar gentleness, he pulled up the corner of the quilt and tucked it in carefully.
After doing all this, he took a step towards the warm starlight and noise outside the house...
The tranquility of Xingyun Pavilion, like warm jade, nourishes the scarred children of Guixu Sect.
Time flows silently in the dim light of the starry meadow, and every moment contains vitality and transformation.
Inside the Fujiya, the aroma of medicine mixed with the warm scent of stars.
Xie Zhao was still sleeping on the star-patterned straw mat, covered with a thin star-shaped gauze.
Three days later, the color on his face had become noticeably richer, no longer sickly pale, but revealing a jade-like luster.
His breathing was long and steady, his chest rising and falling slightly with each breath, as if he were lost in a deep and sweet dream. There was no longer any trace of pain between his brows, only peace.
The most noticeable change was that an extremely faint but extremely pure golden halo was faintly flowing around him - that was the dragon evil power that was purified by Mo Chen using the Star Vein Returning Technique and integrated into his exhausted origin, and it was slowly and steadily repairing the damage to his foundation caused by the Burning Life Talisman Blood.
Chu Linyuan sat cross-legged beside the couch. His face still held the paleness of someone recovering from a serious illness, but the fatigue between his brows had largely faded. Mo Chen's vast star power was like the finest tonic, nourishing his shattered meridians.
At this moment, he did not close his eyes, but quietly looked at the sleeping Xie Zhao. Deep in those cold eyes, the ice seemed to melt a little, and an indescribable calmness and concentration settled in them.
He placed one hand lightly on Xie Zhao's wrist, not to transmit strength, but more like a silent confirmation - confirming the steady pulse, confirming the real vitality.
Starlight streamed in from the window, landing on the red tassel at his waist. The tassel's color seemed even more vibrant and warm than before, like warm jade soaked in starlight, drooping quietly.
"Squeak--" The vine wood door was gently pushed open.
Luo Hongyi walked in, carrying a steaming black jade bowl filled with a milky-white soup that exuded a rich aroma of stars and herbs. Under the starlight, her gorgeous face lost some of its former sharpness, gaining a subtle softness.
"Guiyuan Xinglu soup made with Xinghui marrow fluid, serve hot." She placed the bowl on the small table beside the couch, her eyes sweeping over Xie Zhao's peaceful sleeping face, then landing on Chu Linyuan's hand resting on Xie Zhao's wrist. Her red lips curled slightly, "Ice ball, stop looking at him. You won't make that fool smile if you keep looking. Feed it to him to strengthen his body and replenish his energy."
Chu Linyuan withdrew his hand and naturally lifted the jade bowl. The bowl's walls were warm, and a rich aroma filled his nostrils. He used his bony fingers to pick up the star-patterned jade spoon in the bowl and scooped up a spoonful of warm soup.
His movements were innate, almost mechanical, and steady, yet strangely revealing a touch of unfamiliar meticulousness. He leaned forward slightly, carefully and tentatively supporting the back of Xie Zhao's neck with one hand, and with the other hand, he held the jade spoon to Xie Zhao's lips.
His movements were somewhat stiff, as if he was fiddling with an extremely delicate piece of porcelain.
Xie Zhao, who was in a coma, seemed to sense the warmth and fragrance on his lips, and unconsciously opened his mouth slightly.
Chu Linyuan kept his wrist steady as he slowly fed the warm soup in. His movements were not fast, but extremely steady, ensuring that every drop slid in smoothly.
His eyes were fixed intently on Xie Zhao's Adam's apple, watching the faint swallowing movement. Deep in his cold eyes, there seemed to be starlight passing by.
Luo Hongyi leaned against the door frame with her arms folded, watching this scene with a complicated expression. She stopped lashing out with venom and just watched quietly as Chu Linyuan patiently fed her the entire bowl of soup, spoonful by spoonful.
Not until the last bit of soup disappeared at Xie Zhao's lips did Chu Linyuan gently put down the jade spoon and used a clean star-patterned cloth to wipe away the non-existent soup stains at the corners of Xie Zhao's mouth in an extremely natural and even a little clumsy manner.
After doing all this, he stood up and handed the empty bowl to Luo Hongyi. His face still had the same cold expression that had never changed for thousands of years, as if the meticulous action of feeding the medicine just now was just an illusion.
Luo Hongyi took the bowl, raised his eyebrows, and finally just snorted: "You are still useful." Then he turned and walked out.
On the meadow outside the house, the prelude to upgrading has already sounded!
"roar--!!!"
A deep and powerful roar like thunder shook the meadow!
Iron Bull's enormous body stood proudly, his upper body bare, his bronzed body, his muscles bulging like cast iron, his lines filled with explosive power!
At this moment, the muscles in his arms bulged high, and the blue veins were coiled like a coiled dragon. He was holding the dragon skeleton star core, which had shrunk to the size of a millstone, but whose light was more restrained and condensed, high above his head!
