Dragging his heavy body, Ye Qiu left the street and suddenly looked in the direction of the mountain forest.

What about Wu Xiaokai?

Did he run away?

After all, that woman seemed a bit stronger than Ye Yi.

Wu Lan, Nanzhou Ranking, thirtieth!

A true elite!

Nearly ninety-nine percent of the prodigies in the entire South Province were gathered in Nanzhou Academy.

Therefore, the prodigy rankings here were the prodigy rankings of the South Province.

In the South Province, that woman was thirtieth among her peers!

"Brother Ye..." Just as Ye Qiu was worrying, a voice suddenly rang out from the side.

Ye Qiu looked over sharply and saw a very disheveled Big Guy running over.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Still alive!

As they approached, the two looked at each other and saw the blood on each other's bodies, as well as the terrifying wounds.

The next moment, they grinned.

"Hahaha..."

Their laughter was loud and hearty.

To be able to survive in such a desperate situation was an absolute feat for them!

Wu Xiaokai said, "Damn it, that woman is really strong. I almost died by her hand."

The two turned around, supported each other, and walked towards the Academy.

Ye Qiu asked, "How did you get away?"

Wu Xiaokai said, "I had no choice. I blew up the lair of a Law Realm Great Demon and used a strategy of driving away wolves by inviting tigers."

"This is because I grew up in the mountains since I was young, constantly dealing with Demon Beasts, so I'm familiar with their tactics... Anyone else would have died by that woman's hand."

"She's truly ruthless!"

Ye Qiu was slightly surprised, a Law Realm Great Demon?

"But, I discovered another secret. There are definitely treasures in that Law Realm Great Demon's cave... Shall we find an opportunity to pull off a heist?" Wu Xiaokai's eyes flickered.

Ye Qiu cursed with a smile, "Just forget it... We're lucky to be alive in this state."

Besides, that was a Law Realm Great Demon!

They walked all the way to the Academy, and Wu Xiaokai said, "Brother Ye, let's go to my place to heal directly."

Ye Qiu thought for a moment and nodded.

If he went back looking so pathetic, he would definitely be mocked by those two women. He didn't want to seek out discomfort.

They arrived at Wu Xiaokai's courtyard. It wasn't large, nor was it tidy; even the weeds hadn't been cleared.

Wu Xiaokai said, "It's a bit messy without a woman at home, don't mind it."

Ye Qiu said nothing.

The two walked into the room, and Wu Xiaokai directly took off all his blood-soaked clothes, naked.

Ye Qiu was not hesitant either.

They were both grown men, after all.

Wu Xiaokai glanced at Ye Qiu, then looked at his own, and said enviously, "Brother Ye, no wonder you could win over the number one beauty. I didn't expect you to be so big!"

Ye Qiu smiled proudly. Whether he won over the number one beauty or not was debatable, but his size was certainly not small.

They washed up simply, and as the blood washed away, their terrible wounds were clearly exposed.

Neither could say anything about the other; they were both in a sorry state!

Wu Xiaokai prepared two large wooden tubs, boiled some water, and then opened his Storage Ring.

With a whoosh, what came out were not demon corpses, but jars upon jars of Demon Beast blood.

"I dissected all those demon corpses and kept the essence blood... There are also some important materials, and a few Demon Beast Spirits..."

As he spoke, he took out twelve bright red fruits.

Demon Blood Fruits!

Then, he placed the demon blood, materials, and Demon Blood Fruits into two large wooden tubs separately.

He took out a few small bottles and poured some powders of various colors, as well as some herbs Ye Qiu didn't recognize, into the two wooden tubs.

"This formula was given to me by my grandfather. I bathed in it since I was young, and it's greatly beneficial for Body Cultivators."

After doing all this, he got into one of the wooden tubs and gestured for Ye Qiu to get into the other.

Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment before diving in. As soon as he entered, his wounds began to throb with a burning pain.

He gritted his teeth and endured it.

He sat in the wooden tub, letting his body soak completely in the liquid.

"Brother Ye, you're a tough one! The first time I bathed in this level of demon liquid, I was screaming my head off from the pain."

Wu Xiaokai looked at Ye Qiu, secretly giving him a thumbs-up.

Ye Qiu said nothing. He was in pain too, so much pain that he didn't want to speak at all.

However, despite the pain, he could feel his wounds healing rapidly.

And as they healed, he could sense his Qi and Blood becoming more vigorous.

Wu Xiaokai also closed his eyes, immersing himself in the experience.

Three days and three nights passed like this, and the liquid in both their tubs had become murky.

Wu Xiaokai opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and then stood up from the tub.

Most of his wounds had healed, with only faint traces remaining on the more severe ones.

However, for a Body Cultivator, this was nothing.

He turned his head. Ye Qiu was also standing up now. He had a well-proportioned build and fair skin. Looking at his body alone, it was hard to imagine he was a Body Cultivator with terrifying Qi and Blood.

Not at all.

What shocked Wu Xiaokai even more was that Ye Qiu's wounds had basically all healed. Even the horrific piercing wound on his chest only had a shallow mark on the outside.

"Brother Ye, how much did your Qi and Blood increase?" As they stepped out of the tubs, both men wiped themselves dry, removing water and residual medicinal herbs.
