Eternal Saber-Chapter 308 - 32: Someone Who’s Been Through It

Chen Tang was taken aback for a moment.

Seeing Chen Tang’s expression a bit strange, Ye Yushi was afraid of a misunderstanding and quickly said, "The wounds on your back are not easy to handle; I can help you."

"Ah."

Chen Tang suddenly realized and said, "Then I’ll trouble you."

He had several wounds on his back, but his flexible physique could mostly handle them even though it was inconvenient.

Even if he could manage to scatter the Golden Sore Medicine on it, it would inevitably affect other wounds on his body, inflicting more pain.

Having someone else help was naturally the best option.

Ye Yushi stepped forward, took the Golden Sore Medicine from Chen Tang’s hand, and began applying it to the wounds on his back.

Chen Tang was somewhat careless in applying medicine, often just sprinkling a bit on the wounds.

Ye Yushi first took a clean piece of white silk, wiped the bloodstains around the wound until they were perfectly clean, and then started applying the medicine.

During the process, Ye Yushi’s fingers occasionally brushed against Chen Tang’s skin.

This faint physical contact stirred a strange feeling in Chen Tang’s heart.

However, the pain from the wound was so intense that there was no room for other thoughts.

Ye Yushi, with a calm demeanor and seeming inner tranquility, handled the wounds on Chen Tang’s upper body and then took a piece of white gauze to carefully bandage them.

Actually, Ye Yushi’s inner state wasn’t as calm as it appeared on the outside.

When they parted in Qian Country, Chen Tang was merely a Seventh Grade.

Later, Chen Tang cultivated to Sixth Grade, reaching the Extreme Realm in Transforming Body and Bone Marrow Cleansing, changing his physique and demeanor.

After drifting at sea for three months, practicing the Giant Demon Breathing Technique, his physical interior became stronger. His physique became more magnificent, with broad shoulders tapering to a waist like an inverted triangle.

With the constant wash of seawater, the muscles of Chen Tang’s body did not bulge like rocks but flowed gracefully, combining strength and softness.

While helping Chen Tang with the medicine and bandaging, Ye Yushi got a clear view of Chen Tang’s upper body.

I’ve seen him naked, should I be responsible for him?

For some reason, such a notion inexplicably flashed through Ye Yushi’s mind.

What nonsense are you thinking?

Subsequently, she slightly scolded herself internally.

Actually, it wasn’t entirely Ye Yushi’s fault.

She had never had such intimate contact with any other man.

Though both were straightforward and well-intentioned without improper thoughts, being young people in a foreign place without others to rely on, living under the same roof inevitably led to some whimsical thoughts.

At this moment, the room door was suddenly pushed open.

Lady Yun entered with a set of brand new clothes, smiling. Seeing the scene before her, her eyes sparkled, her expression turning remarkably vibrant.

Hearing the commotion at the door, Ye Yushi froze in her movements.

Both Chen Tang and Ye Yushi instinctively turned their heads to look.

Only to see Lady Yun leaning against the door, watching them with a half-smiling expression.

Panicked, Ye Yushi quickly withdrew her hand from Chen Tang’s back.

While treating and bandaging Chen Tang, despite her occasional messy thoughts, she still managed to remain calm.

However, being caught in such an intimate posture by Lady Yun made Ye Yushi’s face flush instantly.

It was like being caught in the act, unable to explain.

She shielded her Heart Meridian with True Qi, but her cultivation sense was now dulled.

Chen Tang, heavily injured and distracted by intense pain, hadn’t heard the footsteps at the door.

It wasn’t until Lady Yun entered that they realized.

Lady Yun placed the new clothes on the side and said with a playful smile, "I wondered why you didn’t let me help with the medicine, now I see you already have company. Why didn’t you say so? It would have saved me the trouble."

Ye Yushi opened her mouth and said, "It’s not..."

"I understand, I understand."

Lady Yun waved her hand, cutting her off with a smile, "No need to explain to me, I’ve been through this."

Ye Yushi remained silent.

She wanted to explain but knew it was futile.

Chen Tang, fearing the awkwardness, diverted the topic by pointing at the clothes and asking, "Lady Yun, what is the meaning of this?"

"Your clothes are ripped and tattered from the battle; you can’t wear them anymore. I had someone prepare a new set for you," Lady Yun said with a laugh, "I didn’t expect to walk in on you two... hehe."

Chen Tang was sweating.

He changed the topic only for Lady Yun to bring it back.

Chen Tang asked, "How much is this outfit?"

He indeed needed a new set of clothes.

"It’s a gift,"

Lady Yun arched her eyebrows playfully, her eyes twinkling.

"Oh?"

Chen Tang was somewhat surprised, "The landlady is so generous?"

Upon arriving at the Shadow Tower, he had almost been evicted by Lady Yun for not making a purchase.

Lady Yun smiled, "Whether or not I’m generous depends on the person."

Chen Tang tossed a Hidden Coin to Lady Yun, saying, "No thanks, I dislike owing favors."

He knew nothing of Lady Yun’s background and didn’t want too many entanglements.

Lady Yun caught the coin with a playful smile on her lips, saying, "You say that, which makes me want to find an opportunity to do you a favor even more."

"Why?" Chen Tang asked.

"The more someone dislikes owing favors, the more valuable their favor is," Lady Yun said and then turned to leave.

Ye Yushi wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Although still poisoned and injured, helping Chen Tang with his treatment did take a toll, though not to the point of being drenched in sweat.

Most of the sweat was from being startled by Lady Yun just earlier.

"Brother Chen, your wounds are mostly handled,"

Ye Yushi said, "The rest you can do yourself."

The remaining wounds were on his lower body, which Chen Tang could now manage himself.

Chen Tang thanked her, about to say more when Ye Yushi hastily left the room as if fleeing.

Chen Tang shook his head with a wry smile, removing his tattered pants to continue treating his lower wounds.

Once fully bandaged, Chen Tang changed into the new clothes and relaxed onto the wooden bed, utterly exhausted.

With Horizontal Training Method, there’s no depletion of Inner Qi.

But after continuous clashes with the Hermits, his muscles and bones suffering shock and vibration, prolonged fighting left him sore and less powerful.

Fortunately, Chen Tang’s viscera were robust, and despite heavy combat, he wasn’t seriously internally injured.

Though hit a few times upon his return, causing visceral tremors, the damage wasn’t severe; a few days of rest would suffice for recovery.

However, the external injuries were far worse, requiring a longer recovery period.

In a daze, his eyelids grew heavy, and Chen Tang gradually fell asleep.

In his dreams, led by his Divine Soul, Chen Tang unconsciously practiced the Giant Demon Breathing Technique, constantly absorbing and refining to strengthen his viscera.

Simultaneously, the Vajra Relic in his Dantian emitted a faint golden halo.

In his dreams, unconsciously, Chen Tang sat up, assuming an odd meditative posture.

Guided by this posture, golden energy flowed from the Dantian to his limbs and filled every wound.

Despite having applied the Golden Sore Medicine, the wounds continued to seep blood.

But wrapped in this golden energy, the bleeding soon stopped!

Moreover, the wounds began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye...
