An Anomaly Discovered, Zhangsun Wugou Awakens

"Master! You're awake! You scared us half to death!"

As soon as Lan Xin entered the room, she saw Zhang Sheng sitting up in bed and immediately ran over, delighted.

She had been sick with worry these past few days, terrified that Zhang Sheng would never wake up.

"Lan Xin! How long was I unconscious?"

"Master! You've been unconscious for three days. My sister and the others and I were worried sick. Thank goodness you're all right now."

"Right! How is Wugou doing?"

"Alas! Miss Zhangsun's life was saved, but she still hasn't woken up.

Young Master Zhangsun has been watching over her day and night, waiting for you to wake up, Master."

After learning what had happened, Zhang Sheng told Lan Xin to bring him something to eat.

He had been unconscious for three days without so much as a drop of rice water, and now he felt weak all over.

Lan Xin immediately went to prepare food as instructed, and soon brought him several delicious dishes.

By the time Zhang Sheng finished eating, nearly a quarter of an hour had passed.

"Lan Xin! Take me to see Wugou!"

"Yes, Master! Please follow me!"

With Lan Xin leading the way, Zhang Sheng and the others soon reached the place where Zhangsun Wugou was recuperating.

When Zhang Sheng saw Zhangsun Wugou lying in bed, her face somewhat pale, he felt a faint pang in his heart.

But he was also immensely relieved. If Lan Xin hadn't reminded him at the time,

Zhangsun Wugou might really have died in his arms. If that had happened, he wouldn't have known how to face himself.

"Zhang Sheng! You're awake! Is there anything seriously wrong with you?"

"Brother Fuji! I'm sorry! I was too reckless, and now Wugou is..."

"Forget it! Perhaps my sister was destined to suffer this calamity! Now that her life has been saved, we can at least count that as heaven's blessing."

"Brother Fuji! Don't worry! I won't let anything happen to Wugou."

"Really? Zhang Sheng! You can make Wugou completely well again?"

Zhangsun Wuji had no other choice. After all, Zhang Sheng was the only one here with that miraculous ability, so he could only place his hopes in him.

"I can't say I'm completely certain, but I'm eighty or ninety percent sure."

Zhang Sheng didn't dare claim complete certainty because Zhangsun Wugou's injury was tricky. The blade had struck her heart directly.

Otherwise, Zhang Sheng would have woken her up long ago.

Now he could only treat her slowly, gradually repairing her heart.

The days passed one by one, as though the previous incident had never happened.

Blue Silver Village saw no imperial army coming to attack them, though they had spent quite a few days on edge.

Now, aside from cultivating each day, Zhang Sheng came at set times to treat Zhangsun Wugou's injury.

After Zhang Sheng's careful treatment, color had gradually returned to Zhangsun Wugou's face, showing that the treatment was working very well.

Today, when it was time for another treatment, Zhang Sheng came to Zhangsun Wugou's room and saw that Zhangsun Wuji was there too.

"Brother Fuji! You've come to see Wugou today."

"Zhang Sheng, you're here. Thank you for taking such careful care of her these past few days.

Seeing Wugou get better day by day, I can finally put down the stone weighing on my heart."

"Brother Fuji! There's no need to be so polite with me. We've shared hardships together, so from now on, let's treat each other as family."

With that, Zhang Sheng walked over to Zhangsun Wugou, then naturally circulated his Soul Power and began to use his first Soul Skill-Baptism of Life!

As the treatment began, a green light emerged over Zhangsun Wugou's body, looking so full of life.

But Zhang Sheng soon noticed something amiss. He could actually sense traces of Soul Power flowing inside Zhangsun Wugou's body.

Although it was still very faint, it showed that other people could cultivate Soul Power too.

The discovery instantly excited Zhang Sheng,

and even the flow of Soul Power he was using to treat her became somewhat unsteady.

Zhang Sheng quickly realized that he was still treating her. He couldn't let a moment of excitement put Zhangsun Wugou in danger again.

The treatment soon ended. When Zhangsun Wuji saw how happy Zhang Sheng looked, he thought Zhangsun Wugou was about to make a complete recovery.

"Zhang Sheng! How is it? Has my sister fully recovered?"

"Uh! Brother Fuji! Not quite that fast, but it should only be another day or two."

"Then why were you smiling so broadly just now...?"

"Brother Fuji! You've misunderstood. I wasn't happy about Wugou's injury,

but about another important matter. Once I've gotten to the bottom of it, it might be something that could change heaven and earth."

"Change heaven and earth? Zhang Sheng, are you all right?"

"What is it, Brother Fuji? You think I'm talking big?"

"Zhang Sheng! Don't misunderstand. Your words just startled me!"

"Brother Fuji! I can tell you still don't believe me, but it doesn't matter. You'll understand in time."

Zhang Sheng didn't want to explain much more. Everything would have to wait until later.

Now, in Zhangsun Wugou, he had seen the answer he had been searching for over the years.

As long as he confirmed it further, the moment to write history would arrive.

Another three days passed. After Zhang Sheng's uninterrupted treatment, Zhangsun Wugou finally woke up.

"Where am I? Didn't I die?"

"Little sister! Look at me. I'm your brother, Zhangsun Wuji!"

"Brother? You're my brother, Zhangsun Wuji!"

"Yes! Yes! Little sister, you've finally woken up. I've been worried sick about you these past few days!"

"Wugou! Is there anywhere you still feel uncomfortable?"

"Brother Zhang Sheng is here too! Wugou is fine! Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhang Sheng!"

"I'm glad you're all right. Everyone's been worried about you these past few days. Now that you've recovered, everyone will be happy for you."

"Thank you, everyone! Sorry for the trouble Wugou caused you all."

At last, the matter came to a close. After Zhangsun Wugou woke up, she was able to start moving around slowly, and from time to time she came out to walk in the garden.

"Wugou! Your complexion is looking better and better today. That means you're becoming as healthy as you were before."

"That's all thanks to Brother Zhang Sheng treating me day and night. Otherwise, Wugou would have left this world long ago."

"What happened before is in the past. From now on, I'll never let anyone hurt you again."

Zhang Sheng's promise-like words instantly made Zhangsun Wugou blush.

She felt as though they were a couple making eternal vows of love.

Zhang Sheng, however, hadn't thought of it that way. He simply wanted to protect her.

And so, miraculously, a beautiful misunderstanding was born between them.

"Wugou! Are you all right? Why is your face red?"

"I'm fine. Maybe I just got tired from walking!"

"Mm! Getting more exercise is good, but you mustn't overdo it. You've only just recovered from a serious illness, so you should focus on resting."

"I'll listen to you, Brother Zhang Sheng. I promise I won't tire myself out."

Zhang Sheng looked at the delicate girl before him and noticed that there was something odd about the way she was looking at him.

As for what was odd, he couldn't quite say.

"Wugou! There's something I'd like to ask you. Would that be all right?"

"Brother Zhang Sheng! Whatever it is, whether it's all right or not, Wugou will answer truthfully!"

Zhang Sheng watched as Zhangsun Wugou's voice grew softer and softer, until he could barely hear her at the end.

If Zhang Sheng hadn't had sharp ears, he really wouldn't have known whether she had agreed or not.
