Late at night, in the stillness ten miles outside Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue shed her disguise and, dressed in a black robe, arrived at a little thatched hut glowing with faint light.
"Your Highness, you're here!"
When Du Feng saw Qian Renxue, he bowed respectfully.
If Prince Xue Xing and the others saw this scene, they would surely be shocked.
Who would have thought that the fearsome Wolverine King would actually bow to a woman who looked only around twenty years old?
It was easy to imagine just how extraordinary this person's identity had to be.
"How are this boy's injuries?"
Qian Renxue nodded, then looked over at Chu Hao lying on the straw bed.
"Replying to Your Highness, this boy's injuries are very serious. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have died from his wounds long ago," Du Feng replied.
Qian Renxue's brows tightened. "Oh? You mean his current condition is very bad?"
"Yes, very bad."
"But please rest assured, Your Highness. This boy's physique is very special. There's a mysterious power inside him rapidly repairing his bodily functions. Perhaps in just a few days, his injuries will be fully healed."
Du Feng nodded, but to set her mind at ease, he deliberately explained further.
"Three days. I'll give you only three days. No matter what method you use, you must heal him for me."
"If I come back in three days and he's still like this, you'll bear the consequences yourself."
Qian Renxue had always trusted Du Feng's abilities.
Right now, she only wanted Chu Hao to survive.
As for what methods Du Feng would use, she did not care.
"Yes!"
Du Feng answered with the utmost respect and watched Qian Renxue leave.
Late at night three days later, Qian Renxue returned here exactly as she had said before.
By now, Du Feng had already been waiting outside the door.
When he saw Qian Renxue arrive, he hurried forward to greet her.
"Your Highness, you're here," Du Feng said respectfully.
"Mm. How is that boy?" Qian Renxue nodded and asked.
"Your Highness, this boy's injuries are basically no longer serious. He should wake up tonight," Du Feng replied.
"Looks like you've been quite diligent these past three days. Not bad, not bad."
When Qian Renxue heard this, she was overjoyed.
"Your Highness, to tell you the truth, your subordinate actually didn't do much."
"This boy's physique is truly too miraculous. His injuries improved day by day. It was simply a miracle. I've never seen such a miraculous physique before."
"This time, we've truly found a treasure."
Having received Qian Renxue's approval, Du Feng was extremely happy.
But he knew Qian Renxue's personality well, so he made no attempt to hide anything and told her the truth.
"Oh? Is it that mysterious power you mentioned before?" Qian Renxue said in surprise.
"Yes."
Du Feng nodded, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"Then I'd like to see what kind of physique it is."
"Du Feng, stand guard outside. Don't let anyone in."
Qian Renxue grew more and more curious about Chu Hao. After giving her order, she walked straight inside, leaving Du Feng alone to quietly keep watch outside, alert to his surroundings and not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Qian Renxue entered the little thatched hut, glanced at Chu Hao, whose breathing was steady, then slowly sat down by the bed. She gently placed her hand on his, seemingly intending to examine his physique.
But at that moment, Chu Hao seemed to wake up. He grabbed Qian Renxue's little hand and cried out, "Ling'er, Ling'er, run, hurry..."
Feeling Chu Hao's movement, Qian Renxue was shocked and tried to fling his hand away.
But Chu Hao's grip was too strong, like a pair of pincers, firmly clamped around her little hand.
No matter how hard she tried, she could not break free.
Since she still did not know exactly how Chu Hao's injuries were, she did not dare use soul power to knock him away, and could only let him hold on for now.
Just as Qian Renxue was racking her brains for a way to catch him off guard and pull her hand free, Chu Hao suddenly exerted force and directly dragged her onto the bed, burying her head against his chest.
For a moment, she froze.
Before she could come back to her senses, Chu Hao's other hand reached over as well, pulling her into his arms. He kept muttering, "Ling'er, it's all your brother's fault. I made you suffer..."
At Chu Hao's increasingly excessive behavior, Qian Renxue was furious and wanted to teach him a lesson.
After all, ever since she was little, aside from her grandfather, she had never had such intimate contact with any man.
But when she heard Chu Hao's words, the fury burning fiercely in her heart was doused like a basin of cold water had been poured over it, going out in an instant.
She was even inexplicably moved when she sensed Chu Hao's worry for Chu Ling.
Then she raised her head and glanced at him, only to realize that Chu Hao had not woken up at all. He had merely been talking in his sleep.
Perhaps because of her own background, she valued family bonds especially deeply. Chu Hao had not done it on purpose, either, so she simply let him hold her.
Gradually, she even began to like the feeling of being embraced.
Who knew how much time passed before Chu Hao stopped talking in his sleep and gradually regained consciousness, while his hand subconsciously groped upward.
Qian Renxue felt Chu Hao's movement and was startled. She hurriedly got up.
But as she was getting up, Chu Hao accidentally touched her deadly weapon.
After suffering Chu Hao's demonic claw, Qian Renxue was both embarrassed and furious, and slapped him straight across the face.
That crisp slap sounded especially loud in the silent late night.
"Who's hitting me? You're courting death!"
Chu Hao was woken by the slap and sprang up from the bed, an icy killing intent bursting from him.
Then he looked around and saw Qian Renxue.
"You hit me?"
Chu Hao asked coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Though Qian Renxue's looks, figure, and bearing were astonishing enough to easily stir affection in others, slapping him was still wrong. He had to pay her back.
Even if you were the greatest beauty under heaven, it still would not do.
No one could hit my face.
"Your Highness..."
At that moment, Du Feng, who had been quietly standing guard outside, heard the slap and thought something had happened inside, so he hurriedly barged in.
When he saw that Chu Hao had woken up, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
"That's right, I hit you. So what?"
"Du Feng, this has nothing to do with you. Get out!"
Qian Renxue was furious at Chu Hao's attitude and roared directly.
Seeing the situation, Du Feng swiftly withdrew, shut the door, and moved far away.
Heavens!
His master was angry!
So terrifying!
What was wrong with this kid? The moment he woke up, he made his master angry.
He really was a troublemaker.
Hopefully his master would show mercy and not cripple the kid.
Chu Hao looked at Du Feng, who had been cursed out of the room, and his brows tightened slightly.
Wasn't he his lifesaver?
Why had she cursed him away?
It seemed she was the one who had saved his life.
"Who are you, and why did you hit me just now? Were you the one who had Senior Du Feng save me?" Chu Hao asked coldly.
"Your hand was asking for it, groping around randomly. Didn't you deserve to be hit?"
Qian Renxue looked at that cold gaze of his and was very angry.
You took advantage of me just now, yet you're still so cold to me, and you even showed killing intent. Don't you feel the slightest bit ashamed?
Absolutely hateful!
"Bullshit!"
"I was clearly helping Ling'er rub her stomach just now!"
"Speak. Where is Ling'er?"
"Where did you hide her?"
Chu Hao suddenly realized Ling'er was gone and began searching everywhere.
But immediately afterward, he suddenly remembered that Ling'er was in Emperor Xue Ye's hands.
Had I been dreaming just now?
Then who was the person I was holding just now?
