Hearing Ling Yun's voice, Ning Lingyu's delicate body started shivering. She was just about to extend her hand to wipe Yao Rou's body, but she stopped in mid-air. It looked like she had turned into a sculpture!
From when Ning Lingyu confirmed that Ling Yun went missing to all the devastating events that happened at home, Ning Lingyu couldn't rest or eat in peace. She was both mentally and physically exhausted as she constantly prayed that Ling Yun would return home!
Ning Lingyu's worry, anxiety, and expectation for Ling Yun surpassed everybody!
Ning Lingyu was in disbelief as she turned her head extremely slowly. She looked at Ling Yun with her weary and dispirited eyes.
"Big Brother, you're back…" Ning Lingyu smiled faintly as a sense of comfort flashed across her eyes. She stood up and wanted to go into Ling Yun's embrace immediately.
However, the moment she stood up, her frail body swayed, and everything turned dark in front of her. She fell facing upwards!
Under the immense pressure and shock, Ning Lingyu had crumbled thoroughly as her body exceeded the amount of load she could take. As her mental and physical state became wan and sallow, the happiness and comfort upon seeing Ling Yun resulted in her body giving way. She actually fainted!
"Lingyu!" Ling Yun hurried forward to grab Ning Lingyu before she fell. He held her and darted out of his bedroom, taking her to Xiao Meimei's room. He placed Ning Lingyu on the bed before covering her with a thin quilt.
"Close your eyes… Have a good rest. You've held on long enough for me…"
Ling Yun didn't wake her up and chose to let Ning Lingyu rest. The toll on her body, heart, and mind was simply too much!
Ling Yun could only imagine how she felt. A family of three, but her mother left without saying goodbye, and nobody knew where her elder brother went. This was coupled with the numerous devastating incidents that occurred one after another. Ning Lingyu faced that much stress all by herself, and it was already a miracle that she could hold on until now!
If it wasn't for the fact that Ling Yun helped build an Immortal Spiritual Body for Ning Lingyu, her body would have collapsed long ago!
Of course, a large part of Ning Lingyu being able to hang on until now was due to her unbending and stubborn attitude as well as her tenacious willpower. Otherwise, even with her Immortal Spiritual Body, she wouldn't be able to withstand all these tortures.
"Hu…" Ling Yun let out a deep breath as his heart was filled with endless regrets and self-blame. He contained all his anger within himself and left the room.
He returned to his own bedroom and told Yao Rou, whose eyes were already opened and shivering, "Rou Er, you've suffered enough. Don't say anything, I'll heal you now!"
Yao Rou was currently not wearing anything as Ning Lingyu had simply covered her body with a thin blanket to hide her private parts. Her entire body was covered with dark energy, and between her snow-white breasts, there was a green-black palm print. It wasn't swollen but carved in as it started to fester and emit a pungent smell.
Ling Yun's heart ached, and he was also fuming with extreme anger. He had already made his decision that once Yao Rou recovered, he would annihilate all the people from Xiangxi tonight!
As Ling Yun spoke to her, he had already taken out his nine golden needles as he prepared to perform the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot on Yao Rou!
After cultivating his Yin-Yang harmony balance and attaining Physique Tempering Stage Four, Ling Yun's energy center and meridians were more powerful than ever by over a hundredfold. The spiritual energy in his body could be described as majestic, and it was the spiritual energy of the dragon saliva.
Using the Dragon Spiritual Energy to treat poison was the same as using a cannon to slaughter a chicken. Ling Yun only needed to perform the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot once, and a green-black poisonous worm flew out from the palm imprint. It flew at lightning speed towards the sky!
Trying to run? Too late!
"Tsk!" Ling Yun sneered as his left hand extended outwards just as quickly to clip the poisonous worm between his middle and index finger.
The green-black poisonous worm wiggled its body, and when it realized it had no chance of escaping, it simply tried to enter Ling Yun's finger.
Ling Yun was currently in the eleventh minor realm of his Stellar Condensation Technique. A small worm like that was naturally not going to poison him as it couldn't even break through his skin.
"Die!" Regardless, this was the first 'enemy' Ling Yun witnessed, so all his anger was released on this green-black worm. Together with his thumb, Ling Yun used three fingers to pinch this poisonous worm to death!
Before the worm's green-black liquid spilled out from the body, a fireball appeared on Ling Yun's palm and turned the worm to ashes!
…
Concurrently, at the intersection of Qingxi Road and Gufeng Road, was the newly reopened clothing shop. Inside the shop, there was a forty-year-old middle-aged man whose face turned dark green and who almost vomited blood on the spot. However, he clenched his teeth to control himself.
"Tsk! That girl was rescued by someone, and one of my poisonous worms died!" the Xiangxi middle-aged man said.
Within the house, another horse face man grunted. "If I'm not wrong, it should be that youth from the other day. He was the one who saved Boss Wang and wasted Old Lan!"
The forty-year-old man gave a sinister smile as he said, "Tsk! I was going to forget about it if he didn't appear. Now that he came back, I'm going to let him have a taste of my power!"
…
After Ling Yun forced the poisonous worm out from Yao Rou's body, he immediately used the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot to heal Yao Rou's internal injuries. Using his spiritual energy, the green-black imprint on Yao Rou's chest slowly became faint and disappeared. Yao Rou's skin turned back to its usual sparkling white.
"Ling Yun, where on earth did you go? You frightened us all and made us anxious!" After Yao Rou's internal injuries were healed, and when her body no longer had traces of the poisonous worm, she was no longer in pain. Her alluring naked body had also stopped trembling.
The first thing Yao Rou said when she was feeling better was actually not about herself. Instead, she was concerned about Ling Yun. Evidently, Ling Yun was still the most important to her.
"Don't talk, let me heal all your external injuries first!" After Ling Yun said that, he put away the golden needles as he took out the rest of the Healing Talismans to use on Yao Rou's body. He wasn't going to miss a single wound.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, right? My Rou Er is really pretty…"
Ling Yun smiled at Yao Rou, who was trying to sit up when she realized that she was completely naked. She snorted and used her fair hands to cover her trembling breasts before saying to Ling Yun, "I can't believe you saw how ugly I was earlier…"
Ling Yun's heart was aching as he extended his arms to bring Yao Rou into his embrace. He told her, "My heart really aches for you. Why must you risk your life for this clinic? You must not do this anymore."
Yao Rou's eyes turned red as tears started falling down her cheeks. She sobbed and apologized, "Ling Yun, I didn't manage to protect our clinic, I…"
Ling Yun smiled, and a murderous intent flashed across his eyes. "Rou Er, don't worry. I will make sure whoever destroyed our clinic pays back one thousand times the amount. I will make them regret it!"
At this moment, those Xiangxi experts, who were strutting around, had no idea that they were sentenced to death by Ling Yun.
"Wait for me for a while!" Ling Yun told Yao Rou gently as he left the room. He looked for a small bowl to bring into his bedroom as he took out his magical gourd to pour out a bowl of dragon saliva.
The intoxicating dragon saliva fragrance filled up the entire room and permeated through to the living room too. In the blink of an eye, the pungent smell disappeared without a trace.
"Such fragrance!" Yao Rou had been smelling the disgusting stench for the past few days. When the room was suddenly filled with an intoxicating fragrance, she took in a deep breath without restraint.
Ling Yun sent telepathic signals to Tang Meng and Xue Meining, who were outside the house. He told them that they could come in now. The two of them had been waiting in the car for over twenty minutes and were aching to enter. When they heard Ling Yun's message, they immediately darted into the house.
When Yao Rou heard the movement into the house, she hurriedly used the blanket to cover her tender body. At the same time, Ling Yun shouted, "Tang Meng, you better not come in!"
Xue Meining, on the other hand, rushed into the bedroom without hesitation. After seeing the situation in the room, her expressions changed several times as she tried to control her emotions. Eventually, she lost control as she bit her lower lip and stamped her feet.
Xue Meining and Ling Yun were so close that they only lacked a marriage. After seeing the situation in the room, it was impossible for her not to get jealous.
Yao Rou looked at Xue Meining carefully and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. However, she didn't say anything in the end and simply lowered her head in silence.
The atmosphere in the room was incredibly awkward as Ling Yun scratched his head and said, "Ning Er, Rou Er is older than you, so you should address her as Big Sister."
Since there was nothing else he could do, Ling Yun wasn't going to avoid the topic. Therefore, he took the opportunity to say that to prevent any sort of trouble in the future.
Xue Meining's heart was still kind, and Ling Yun believed that to prod through this paper window, this was the best time to do so, especially since Yao Rou had just recovered.
"Ahem, Big Sister Rou Er is older than you, so you should address her as Big Sister!" After Xue Meining pouted for half a day but didn't say anything, Ling Yun had no other choice but to repeat himself.
Xue Meining was really reluctant! She knew that Ling Yun's anger was at its limit, so she could only do her best to control her feelings. Her heart ached for Ling Yun, so she naturally didn't want to put him in a difficult spot.
"Big Sister…" Xue Meining's words almost made the speechless Yao Rou laugh out loud.
Eventually, she lifted her head to look at Xue Meining and said, "Sister Ning Er, you are the most important, so your big sister will not snatch… snatch…"
After saying snatch a few times, Yao Rou felt embarrassed to say 'Ling Yun'.
"Hmph! Brother Ling Yun is too naughty! Sister Rou, you have to stick with me to watch after him!"
Xue Meining pondered for half a day as she thought of Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei… The more she thought, the more helpless she became as she could only accept the truth that she wasn't willing to accept in the beginning.
"The two of you can have a good chat… I will head outside because I have some things to discuss with Tang Meng…" Ling Yun's crafty scheme worked, which made him reveal a cheeky smile as he walked out of the room.
