Chapter 1890 - 1888: Saving You Was Just Convenient
Chapter 1890: Chapter 1888: Saving You Was Just Convenient
"What a pity, I don’t know what happened, but my vision went black and I fainted, so I really didn’t see anything," Sima Xiaowen said with a hint of regret.
As they were talking, they arrived at the place where Chu Chengfeng was staying, a spacious and bright courtyard, where a few people were engaged in conversation.
Elder Sima was also here, since Chu Chengfeng had suffered the most serious injuries. Gu Qiaoqiao was just experiencing spiritual power exhaustion, and Elder Sima checked her and knew she’d be fine after resting for a while. So everyone’s attention was focused on Chu Chengfeng.
Chu Chengfeng’s injuries weren’t light this time. Although they seemed like superficial wounds, some had reached his heart and lungs.
While his cultivation wasn’t greatly affected, manipulating Spiritual Fire had become much more difficult.
Additionally, one of his legs was in a fractured state.
Although it looked serious, these injuries were not a problem for the Phoenix Clan, as long as the heart was still beating, breathing was present, the soul hadn’t been extinguished; it only required time.
Elder Sima saw Gu Qiaoqiao approaching, checked her, and felt completely relieved, smiling as she said, "Qiaoqiao, it seems your abilities have improved a lot this time."
"Yes, I didn’t expect it either," Gu Qiaoqiao replied with a smile, "I think it must be related to the Phoenix Clan’s spiritual energy."
Of course, the specific direction was given by Xiao Bao, but she would never say that to anyone.
Elder Sima had a trace of pride on his face, "This place is blessed with an abundance of spiritual energy, staying here with the two kids will only have benefits, no harm."
Gu Qiaoqiao deeply felt this; this place was indeed abundant in spiritual energy, Uncle’s seal had even loosened a bit, otherwise, Xiao Bao wouldn’t have possibly seen visions of Another World.
But this also indirectly proved that Xiao Bao truly already possessed this ability.
"Absolutely, I’m planning to stay with them here for a few days."
By this time, they had already arrived at the Phoenix Clan’s medical room.
I must say, the Phoenix Clan is indeed a place that’s keeping up with the times, equipped with various medical devices.
Though I didn’t see a generator, as there’s no electricity here, it’s unclear how some of these machines operate.
Chu Chengfeng, due to his back injury, was lying face down on the bed, his brow initially relaxed. Being a strong man, these minor injuries didn’t mean much to him.
However, upon seeing Sima Xiaowen enter, he immediately frowned, adopting a look of unbearable pain yet determined perseverance.
Sima Xiaowen didn’t see this, but Gu Qiaoqiao did, and she smirked at Chu Chengfeng.
Chu Chengfeng, thick-skinned, pretended not to notice Gu Qiaoqiao’s amusement.
To gain sympathy and pity from his heart’s desire, he wouldn’t mind being ridiculed by the entire world, let alone by someone like Gu Qiaoqiao. However, he would never forget the life-saving favor.
Honestly speaking, without Gu Qiaoqiao, he and Sima Xiaowen might have really remained forever in that terrifying Another World.
He seemed somewhat weak as he softly said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for saving me and Xiaowen this time."
Gu Qiaoqiao released her divine sense, scanning Chu Chengfeng’s body condition, knowing in her heart that there was no major issue.
Though the injuries were indeed serious, he truly needed ample rest to recover.
Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled, "My main rescue was for Sister Xiaowen, saving you was incidental."
Chu Chengfeng was left speechless.
How can Gu Qiaoqiao say things like this? He was thanking her, wasn’t he?
He knew Gu Qiaoqiao had a sharp tongue.
"Still, I have to thank you, sister-in-law, saving Xiaowen also means saving me." Then he switched topics to ask, "How are Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei doing here, are they having fun?"
Chu Chengfeng liked the kids very much too. Even though Qin Yize hadn’t agreed, he had always claimed to be the kids’ godfather, and over time, it was tacitly acknowledged.
"They’re with Mrs. Leng, probably searching for that Phoenix Fruit right now..."
Chu Chengfeng glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Coming here, Ah Ze probably didn’t agree, right?"
"He didn’t worry about me coming alone, mainly because I brought the two kids. But it’s alright, the two kids have been the happiest along the way."
After saying this, Gu Qiaoqiao looked towards the silent Sima Xiaowen, "Chu Chengfeng, you focus on healing, I’ll take a break, and tomorrow let Sister Xiaowen show us around."
Chu Chengfeng also looked at Sima Xiaowen, who hadn’t spoken since entering. He furrowed his brows slightly, gently coughed a few times, and even tugged at the corners of his mouth.
It seemed that an unintended movement suddenly triggered a wound on his body.
He furrowed his brows, softly saying, "When my body is better, I’ll take you back to the Imperial Capital."
Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes flashed; Chu Chengfeng meant to return to the Imperial Capital together?
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t bother to ask further, everything would be discussed once he recovered.
There were many doctors around Chu Chengfeng, each elder had their own skills, so she didn’t need to lend a hand. Such minor injuries were nothing to Gu Qiaoqiao.
In fact, what was slightly more serious was the problem with his Spiritual Fire, but that was an internal Phoenix Clan issue, even if she wanted to, she couldn’t help.
After finishing, Gu Qiaoqiao raised her foot to leave. Though Sima Xiaowen had remained silent, she followed Gu Qiaoqiao to leave together, but at this moment, Chu Chengfeng suddenly spoke, "Xiaowen, I’m a bit thirsty, could you pour me a glass of water?"
Gu Qiaoqiao paused, looking back at Chu Chengfeng with a smirk, this guy could come up with such a lame excuse just to keep Sima Xiaowen.
However, she wasn’t insensitive, nudging Sima Xiaowen, "I can go back on my own, you stay here and take care of him."
Sima Xiaowen remained silent for a moment, raised her brows, and smirked as she glanced sideways at Chu Chengfeng pretending to be pitiful, "Qiaoqiao, wait for me, I’ll pour him a glass of water, and then we’ll leave together."
Chu Chengfeng was disappointed, but getting a glass of water was good enough.
There was a hint of joy on his face, which made Gu Qiaoqiao slightly shake her head.
It’s said that women in love are fools, but men become smarter; it seems this is indeed the case.
Sima Xiaowen poured Chu Chengfeng a glass of water, knowing it was inconvenient for him, so she held the cup to his mouth, letting him drink a few sips before setting it down, and finally said softly, "Take care of yourself, then we’ll return to the Imperial Capital together."
Chu Chengfeng instantly beamed with joy.
Because when they arrived, Sima Xiaowen had refused to go back with him.
But who would’ve thought that after going through such an ordeal, she would draw closer to him.
Sometimes it seems even heaven is helping him.
Sima Xiaowen and Gu Qiaoqiao walked leisurely along the lakeside of Phoenix Lake, the scenery here was pleasant and the mountains magnificent.
