Lu Xueqi (94)

"The Jade Marrow Rebirth Pill has a mild yet enduring effect. It will continue nourishing Miss Bi Yao's body and Divine Soul for at least seven days."

Elder Mu carefully observed Bi Yao's complexion, then sent a thread of True Essence into her body to examine her condition. At last, he completely relaxed, and even the wrinkles on his face seemed to smooth out.

"The healing of her external wounds is merely a matter of time. Her damaged meridians and internal organs are also recovering rapidly. Most importantly, the Malevolent Qi has been removed extremely thoroughly, leaving behind no hidden dangers. Though her foundation has suffered some depletion, it has stabilized under the combined nourishment of the Soul Stabilizing Pearl and the pill. With proper recuperation and suitable spiritual medicine, she will certainly recover fully. She may even gain a blessing from this misfortune."

Hearing Elder Mu's authoritative verdict, the taut string in Su Han's heart, stretched to its absolute limit, finally loosened with a soft twang.

What followed was exhaustion that nearly drowned him, along with the overwhelming ecstasy of having regained what he had thought lost.

He still held Bi Yao's hand as he raised his head, looking at Elder Mu, then at Lu Xueqi, whose face remained somewhat pale though her expression was calm, and finally toward the faint figures outside the hall.

He wanted to say many things. He wanted to thank Elder Mu for giving his all, thank Lu Xueqi for arriving in time and using the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder at that critical moment, and thank Shi Yue and the Town Yue Tower for their protection...

Yet a thousand words clogged his chest, eventually condensing into only two solemn words.

"Thank you."

His voice was hoarse, yet as weighty as a mountain.
