Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 1166 - 1164: Earth as Bed, Sky as Quilt

The Divine Phoenix cried in pain, filled with remorse.

She didn't know why she had lost her temper so badly just now, nor did she understand why she had acted so harshly toward the man she deeply loved.

He was the one who had saved her life!

Even now, he disregarded his own safety, using the last of his Spiritual Energy to dispel her Heart Demon.

And what did she do... repeatedly angering Lin Fan... how foolish...

"Lin Fan..."

She sobbed like a weeping pear blossom, her delicate body trembling as she clutched Lin Fan's head tightly to her chest.

Tears dripped down, wetting Lin Fan's forehead.

"Divine Phoenix, from now on... take good care of yourself..."

Lin Fan's faint voice came from the Divine Phoenix's embrace.

The Divine Phoenix's body shook violently upon hearing these words.

What does this mean?!

Buzz—

Her mind went blank.

Her heart filled with panic; could it be that Lin Fan's body was damaged due to depleting his Spiritual Power twice?

The Divine Phoenix hurriedly looked at Lin Fan, her face full of worry and urgency.

But she only saw Lin Fan's pale, weak expression, his eyes slightly closed, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Lin Fan... what's wrong with you? Don't... don't scare me..."

She shook Lin Fan gently, her jaw trembling.

Tears flowed like a breached dam, pouring out.

"Lin Fan... Lin Fan, say something... answer me... I..."

The Divine Phoenix was so anxious she became incoherent, shaking Lin Fan's body over and over, but he remained silent, lying quietly in her arms.

"Lin Fan... Lin Fan..."

Her voice carried a sob, hugging Lin Fan tighter, unable to do anything else, just watching.

She was absolutely terrified.

All she could do was cry.

She felt an immense fear; the thought of losing Lin Fan caused her heart to wrench in pain, making it hard to breathe.

If Lin Fan really died because of her, she would live in guilt and remorse for her entire life.

This life.

That's thousands of years, tens of thousands of years!

In the countless days and nights to come, she would be trapped in endless pain and sorrow.

The Divine Phoenix couldn't accept a world without Lin Fan.

If Lin Fan died, she would die too.

"Lin Fan... if you die, what will I do... I... I won't survive..."

The Divine Phoenix spoke emotionally, extending five fingers, trembling slightly, her eyes showing a newfound determination.

"Lin Fan... I'll go with you..."

Suddenly!

She closed her eyes tightly, her five fingers hard as daggers, viciously aiming at her own throat.

The speed was fast!

Swift as the wind!

If Lin Fan died because of her, then what's the point of living? The Divine Phoenix thought it better to follow Lin Fan, no longer living a miserable life, enduring the torment of longing and the pain of remorse.

All over!

She made up her mind, no longer hesitated, though there might be a moment of pain, the opportunity to be with Lin Fan forever outweighed it.

Her fingers pierced like daggers, her heart resolved, striking with such fierceness that she left no retreat for herself.

Just as she thought she would get what she wished for, to be with Lin Fan forever.

A hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist firmly.

The Divine Phoenix was stunned and opened her eyes wide.

Lin Fan in her arms was smiling at her, his face haggard, his body weak.

"What are you... doing?" Lin Fan asked softly.

"Lin Fan? You... you're not dead?" The Divine Phoenix stopped her tears, looking at Lin Fan in amazement.

"Can't you hope for something good for me?"

"N-no... but you..."

"Too sleepy... wanted to sleep a bit... why are you so agitated... planning to follow me in death?"

The Divine Phoenix's face turned red in an instant, blushing all the way to her earlobes, shyly lowering her head, pouting as she muttered.

"Nonsense... I-I'm not following you... dream on!"

"Then what's this?"

Lin Fan chuckled, waving the hand that held her wrist.

The Divine Phoenix was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain.

"I thought... thought I caused your death..."

Lin Fan shrugged helplessly, sat up with a smile, and wiped away her tears. Seeing her face full of shyness, like a dewy peach, he couldn't resist kissing her.

She was stunned, staring blankly at Lin Fan, but didn't refuse.

After a tender moment, she lay in Lin Fan's arms, resting her head lightly on his shoulder, her hands wrapped around him, reluctant to part.

"I'm sorry."

She was startled, then suddenly spoke.

"Why say this all of a sudden?" Lin Fan smiled, asking.

"I acted too willful just now."

Lin Fan's heart trembled, gently stroking her hair.

"In this time..."

"I know, there are many things waiting for you outside the Mystic Iron Mountain, I shouldn't blame you. Not only did I delay that girl's illness, I almost harmed you too..."

Speaking these last few words, she couldn't help but blame herself, quietly wiping her tears.

However.

Lin Fan didn't intend to blame her, and he didn't say a word, softly stroking her hair, inhaling her fragrance.

"This time, I'll stay with you more."

Lin Fan wrapped an arm around her shoulder, embracing her, both sitting quietly together, watching the chaos of the world.

Though there wasn't any special scenery, neither of them felt bored. The rare leisure allowed Lin Fan to relax, quickly recovering his Spiritual Power, while she contentedly held Lin Fan, a happy smile on her face.

Just like that.

The two sat together, embracing in simplicity, half a year passing without notice.

With the sky as their cover, the earth as their bed, in chaos, tenderly wrapped up.

The days were simple and happy.

Anyway, Yi Qingyu needed time to recover, at least half a year before she could move, so Lin Fan took this opportunity to make up for what he owed her.

This day upon waking.

They still hugged as usual, she suddenly said, "Lin Fan, are you leaving?"

Lin Fan was stunned, staring blankly at her.

"I know you're leaving. Though the girl can't move yet, she's improving. You're taking her back, aren't you?"

Lin Fan sighed, feeling a pang of heartache for her.

"Yes..."

"How about, you come with me?"

Lin Fan kissed her forehead.

However, she gently shook her head, saying, "No, I still have to cultivate here at the Mystic Iron Mountain. You've progressed so quickly, reaching the Ninth Rank Saint Emperor's Cultivation Realm in such a short time, with the Dragon Bone's assistance, not many on the Sumeru Continent could be your match. I have to work hard here to become the woman beside you."

Having said this, she softly freed herself from Lin Fan's embrace, standing up, her clothes fluttering as she landed lightly on the ground, automatically dressing, becoming the familiar Divine Phoenix everyone knew.

Lin Fan also stood up, staring dumbfoundedly at her.

"Alright, alright, stop staring, hurry and go." She smiled, urging him on.

"But..." Lin Fan hesitated.

"What? Acting as if we'll never meet again, if you miss me, naturally come back to the Mystic Iron Mountain. If I miss you, naturally I'll come find you too, no need to overthink it."

Lin Fan sighed deeply, nodded, finally hugging her one last time before turning to leave.

"Lin Fan."

She suddenly called him, smiling like a flower.

Lin Fan turned back, staring at her in a daze.

"The past half a year with you was truly delightful, I'll always be here waiting for you, always waiting."

Lin Fan couldn't help but feel moved, just as he was about to speak.

A cloud of mist rose around her, enveloping her whole body, and when the mist dissipated, she had vanished.
