Chu Cheng.

Before even reaching Four Directions Pavilion, he could already smell a dense smell of medicinal herbs. Just by smelling the smell, he could already feel a bit of bitterness, causing Chu Mengxun, who had just stepped into the courtyard, to knit his brows slightly.

In the courtyard, Sai Xishi was just about to bring the freshly brewed soup into the room, but when he saw Chu Mengxun, he stopped in his tracks: "This medicine really has a miraculous effect, it actually brought Mayor Chu here."

Chu Mengxun did not care about her teasing in the slightest, and indifferently said: "Are you awake yet."

"It's been burning for two weeks. It's been burning for two weeks. It's been burning for two weeks. Sai Xishi sighed, "Patriarch Yun hasn't slept for a few days."

Chu Mengxun looked at the soup in her hands, casually picked up the medicine bowl, and walked in.

Because it was late autumn, the weather had started to turn cold, yet there was actually a smokeless charcoal brazier burning inside the house, and it did not seem cold at all. Yun Jiang sat on the bed and continued to talk to Yun Jinxiu in a low voice.

"Uncle Yun, please rest for a moment." Chu Mengxun said.

Hearing the voice, Yun Jiang turned around. He looked haggard with bloodshot eyes.

Seeing that it was Chu Mengxun, Yun Jiang got up and said: "This child has been burning for more than ten days, if this goes on, his body will be burnt to ashes."

Chu Mengxun looked at Yun Jinxiu who was facing the wall and said clearly: "It will be fine."

Yun Jiang knew that Chu Mengxun had a cold personality, he was never one to talk much. Seeing the medicine bowl in his hands, he sighed, and still moved to the side.

Chu Mengxun walked to the bed, paused for a moment, then raised his hand and touched her forehead.

It was probably because his palm was too cold, which was why her forehead was so frighteningly hot.

Chu Mengxun frowned slightly.

He raised his hand again and placed it on her wrist to examine her meridians. However, his aura was as chaotic and swift as a torrent, as if he had been possessed.

Thinking about how the Momi had become her own, Chu Mengxun's face changed slightly.

A treasure of the Devil Realm would usually affect one's mental state, and for people with weak willpower, a treasure of the Devil Realm was something that others could not avoid.

In fact, humans were born with internal demons, but the cultivation methods of the Six Realms were different. If it weren't for the crazy obsession with increasing strength, it would be rare for people from the other realms to absorb the power into their bodies and use it for themselves.

Chu Mengxun believed that Yun Jinxiu was not a madman who threw caution to the wind to increase her strength, but the Momi had already become a part of her cultivation system, a reality that she could not ignore.

That Momi, has it already begun to disturb her?

Martial power surged out of Chu Mengxun's fingertip, wanting to pacify her chaotic aura. However in the next instant, a scorching hot power surged out from her body, pushing her out.

Chu Mengxun's gaze turned deep. The Momi's power was so tyrannical, yet it actually did not allow any other power to invade her body.

"Drink the medicine first."

Regardless if she heard it or not, Chu Mengxun still said this.

However, the person with the fever acted like he didn't hear anything. His body didn't move at all.

Chu Mengxun placed the medicine bowl to the side, then extended his hand to her body. He saw that her eyes were tightly shut, her cheeks were flushed red, and her expression was extremely pained, as though she had fallen into some kind of unfathomable dream.

Chu Mengxun had never seen her reveal such a frail side. No matter what happened, this person would always be cold and detached, with no emotions visible to him.

She was as strong as he could imagine, and would not easily let anyone see the pain in her heart, but at this moment, she seemed to be immersed in a swamp of pain.

It was not that he was weak, he did not struggle, and just seemed to let himself sink deeper and deeper into the pain.

"Yun Jinxiu, did you hear what I said?" Chu Mengxun's gaze turned deep.

The pain on her face suddenly faded a little. Her long eyelashes moved a little and she opened her eyes to look at him.

It wasn't a single glance, but rather, a long time. It was as if they were trying to discern who he was.

After a long time, the pain on her face had completely disappeared. Her lips were slightly parted from the burning sensation, and she said in a low voice, "I'm very tired, let me sleep for a while."

Chu Mengxun replied: "You've slept for more than ten days."

Yun Jinxiu said: "Alright, then I'll sleep for a few more days."

"Drink the medicine and then sleep." Chu Mengxun said.

"Too bitter."

Too bitter.

She had never taken such a bitter medicine, and had always been bitter to the core.

Chu Mengxun looked at her for a long time before saying: "How long?" How long would he have to wallow in the swamp like this?

After experiencing so much suffering, how could he complain about suffering from any medicine?

It was the heart that was suffering.

Yun Jinxiu closed his eyes and paused for a moment before saying, "Ten days."

Chu Mengxun released her and pulled her blanket up to her chin, "Alright."

"Don't let them bother me." She opened her mouth and said tiredly.

She always knew that as her father took care of her day and night, Sai Xishi and Sheng Diaochan would constantly think of ways to reduce her fever. There were also many familiar faces and strangers who would go to the Four Directions Pavilion to visit her.

She knew all about it, but she was too tired. She just wanted to get a good night's sleep.

Even for a moment.

Chu Mengxun replied: "Okay."

Seeing her close her eyes and fall back into slumber, Chu Mengxun turned around and glanced at the silent Yun Jiang, "Uncle Yun, please rest well in these few days."

Yun Jiang felt sad in his heart, after all this time, how could he not understand the temperament of the brocade.

During these ten or so days, he knew that she was awake, but she seemed to have sunk into a deep coma.

However, he didn't dare to say a single word to her because he was afraid that she would forcefully act as if nothing had happened out of worry for him.

If this girl had any hardships, wouldn't she just cry?

There were times when he felt her body tremble slightly. He always thought that she was crying silently, but when he looked carefully, there wasn't a single tear on her face.

"Alright, Limitless Palace is very busy, I will go over to help now." Yun Jiang turned and rushed out.

Chu Mengxun paused for a moment, glanced at Yun Jinxiu, then walked out of the room and casually closed the door.

Sai Xishi walked over and whispered: "You're awake?"

She was listening attentively to the movements in the room.

"Within ten days, no one is allowed to take another step outside the door. If anyone dares to forcefully break in, they will be killed without mercy." Chu Mengxun said.

Sai Xishi was surprised by his words, and nodded his head.

This is the meaning of brocade, right?

For the past ten or so days, an endless stream of people had come to visit. She couldn't even stop them, so she was afraid that she was still awake.

For some reason, Sai Xishi felt his heart ache, and he gently sighed.

He could only hope that after ten days of embroidery, he would completely wake up.

In the days that followed, Chu Cheng was quiet and uncommunicative. He shut the gates to the city, declining all visitors. Chu Cheng's grand defensive formation remained open, protecting Chu Cheng in the center like a fortress.

On the seventh day, Chu Cheng's quiet was broken. A group of uninvited guests suddenly appeared outside of him.

The ones who found them first was Chu Tianzhen and Ah Bao. The two of them went out to gather herbs, and when they returned, they were right in front of the group of people.
