[Detected Host Possesses Second Biological Offspring...]

"Hiss..."

"Seriously, I've suffered so much!"

After resting for three full days and nights, Chen Fan finally caught his breath, though his lower back still ached, making him wince and grimace. "I don't know which animal did this to me, honestly..."

Far away in Slaughter City, Bibi Dong suddenly sneezed. Who is cursing me?

"Sect Master, it's time for your medicine."

Ling Yuan walked in carrying a bowl of pitch-black medicinal soup. Seeing Chen Fan's grimacing expression, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly as if she were holding back laughter. "The elders specifically gathered these century-old ginseng roots; they said it's to help you recover."

Chen Fan, "..."

"Just set it there."

Chen Fan waved his hand listlessly.

Ling Yuan placed the bowl on the bedside table, glanced at him, and silently retreated.

Through these few days of care, she had roughly figured out what had happened, but she wasn't foolish; she knew to keep her mouth shut and just do her job.

"This is fucking..."

Chen Fan downed the medicine in one gulp, then leaned back against the headboard, closing his eyes to rest and exhaling a breath of stale air.

It had to be said, although Ling Yuan was a woman of few words, she was quite attentive when it came to taking care of people.

For the past three days, she had served tea and water, wiped his body, brewed medicine, and fed him, handling everything perfectly without a single flaw.

She had even personally supported him when he needed to use the bathroom, playing the role of a wife perfectly.

It was a pity.

Chen Fan didn't have anything on hand that he could give her.

"Right now, I have one Super Douluo Pill, two Douluo Pills, and two God-Bestowed Spirit Rings... Ling Yuan is only a level 70-something Spirit Saint, still far from level 80, so she can't use any of them..."

"I'll see later!"

Sighing, Chen Fan began to review the events of three days ago.

Beast tide.

Ambush.

Abduction.

Unconsciousness.

And then... he woke up in the Seven Kill Sect.

He had absolutely no memory of the time between losing consciousness and waking up in the Seven Kill Sect; he couldn't even recall what had happened.

He still remembered clearly that just before passing out, he had felt something pierce his back, which was what caused him to lose consciousness.

Furthermore...

He looked down at himself.

Although his body had mostly recovered, the soreness he felt when he first woke up, especially that feeling of being "hollowed out"...

"Could it be..."

Chen Fan's pupils constricted slightly as an absurd thought flashed through his mind.

But he immediately shook his head, casting the thought aside.

Impossible.

How could that be?

He had stayed in the Seven Kill Sect for eighteen years and had barely left the sect grounds; where would he have enemies?

Even if he did have enemies, they wouldn't go that far...

Right?

"Wait!"

As this thought crossed his mind, Chen Fan suddenly realized something and quickly closed his eyes, sinking his consciousness into his mind.

Sure enough.

In his mind, the notification left by the mechanical synthesized voice was still lying there quietly, as if waiting for him to check it.
