Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Discharged from the Hospital

A pure white Spiritual Domain Space.

Jiang Zheyu’s spiritual body had just entered when the large spiritual body snake lunged at her.

She blinked. After purifying so many beasts, she wasn’t as afraid of this giant snake anymore.

Besides, those red eyes truly resembled Su Yan’s.

Not to mention, they had undergone a deep spiritual fusion...

Jiang Zheyu wasn’t afraid at all anymore.

The corners of her lips curved up slightly as she opened her arms and hugged the lunging snake.

When the great snake saw her open her arms to embrace him, his red pupils narrowed into excited, happy slits.

The tip of its tail slowly wound its way up Jiang Zheyu’s fair calf.

Jiang Zheyu hugged the snake, gently stroking its fine, smooth scales. They were slick and cool to the touch. The snake’s body trembled slightly at her caress.

The massive snake’s head lowered, licking her cheeks and neck...

Jiang Zheyu allowed his actions, gradually starting to focus on purifying the dark energy.

By the time she had purified all the dark energy, the great snake had coiled around her completely, almost suffocating her.

The clothes of her spiritual body were now in disarray.

Jiang Zheyu had no choice but to wrap her hands around the snake’s head. As if sensing her intention, the snake obediently lowered its head. She placed a gentle kiss on its head and stroked it. "Alright, I’m leaving now."

The great snake seemed to sense she was about to leave and coiled around her even more reluctantly.

Resigned, Jiang Zheyu had to kiss its head, its body, and the tip of its tail again before finally leaving the Spiritual Domain Space.

When Jiang Zheyu opened her eyes, she was met with Su Yan’s complex red gaze.

"Yu Yu," Su Yan said, looking at her. "Your spiritual power..."

"That’s right. I’ve become a female with S+++ Level spiritual power." Jiang Zheyu cupped his face, studying it closely. "I might get even stronger in the future. When that time comes, I’ll be the one to protect you."

’When Si Yu comes to capture me again, my spiritual power has to reach S++++ Level.’

"I will also risk my life to protect Yu Yu." His voice was calm and earnest, as if he were making a vow.

Jiang Zheyu smiled faintly and replied, "Mm."

Jiang Zheyu carefully examined Su Yan’s face. His handsome features had grown somewhat gaunt. His long, beautiful red eyes were bloodshot, even the whites, and there were dark circles underneath. His red hair was also a mess.

"A Yuan, you’ve gotten thinner," Jiang Zheyu sighed softly. "You’re not as handsome as you were before."

A muscle in Su Yan’s brow twitched. "Now that you’re back, I’ll get handsome again."

’I have to get proper nutrition,’ he resolved. ’I absolutely can’t let Yu Yu think I’m not handsome.’

"Mhm," Jiang Zheyu said, nodding with a smile. "Let’s go home."

A thread of sweetness seeped into Su Yan’s heart. The sweet, happy feeling seemed to penetrate to his very bones, spreading a lazy warmth throughout his body.

Jiang Zheyu remembered something and went to open the door.

"Honorable female, how is Commander Su?" a Beastman asked worriedly.

"He’s fine now," Jiang Zheyu said with a smile. "I plan on discharging him. Are there any procedures we need to follow?"

"Yes, I’m fine," Su Yan, who was now standing behind Jiang Zheyu, added. The expression on his face had returned to its usual calm.

The Beastman stared blankly for a moment, then nodded. "You can. You just need to undergo a checkup to confirm everything is alright, then you’re free to leave."

"Then we’ll have to trouble you to lead the way," Jiang Zheyu said to the Beastman with a small smile.

"No trouble, no trouble at all." The Beastman couldn’t help but blush when he saw the beautiful female smiling at him.

"Lead the way," Su Yan said, his icy gaze falling upon the Beastman.

The Beastman felt Commander Su’s stare and instantly lost any other thoughts.

"Yes, Commander Su, please follow me." The Beastman lowered his head and led the way.

Jiang Zheyu glanced at Su Yan and tugged his sleeve. "Why are you being so harsh with him?"

Su Yan blinked slowly and looked down at Jiang Zheyu, his tone perfectly placid. "My face is just expressionless. This is just how I talk. I wasn’t being harsh with him."

Listening to him, Jiang Zheyu started to wonder if she had overthought it.

But she didn’t say anything more.

The two of them followed the Beastman, completed the examination, and after confirming there were no issues, they were able to complete the discharge procedures.

However, Jiang Zheyu noticed that the Beastman Doctor seemed quite shocked.

Because Commander Su’s spiritual power trauma had been healed!

After all, there was currently no known cure for spiritual power trauma.

The Beastman Doctor immediately thought of Jiang Zheyu and looked at her in astonishment.

Jiang Zheyu just gave him a small smile before leaving the hospital with Su Yan.

She didn’t plan on hiding it anymore. The Empire would probably soon find out that her spiritual power was special anyway.

’When the time comes, I’ll have to talk to the Star Emperor. The Empire’s defenses are way too poor. Is there really no one stronger than Si Yu, or at least a Beastman who can match his strength?’

’Jiang Zheyu didn’t even want to start complaining. She remembered how in the novel, the female lead was captured by the villain’s men multiple times. This Empire’s defenses really are pathetic.’

’And another thing—that nest of Beast Slaves Si Yu has. Someone has to be sent to wipe it out!’

’Right, and the Beast Slave laws. Abolish them, abolish them, abolish all of them.’

’Therefore, her own S+++ Level spiritual power, combined with her identity as a female who could heal spiritual power trauma, would be her best bargaining chip for negotiating with the Star Emperor.’

Jiang Zheyu and Su Yan got into a Hovercar.

"A Yuan, does our Empire really not have anyone stronger than that Star Thief?" Jiang Zheyu asked, propping her chin on her hand as she looked at Su Yan.

Hearing Jiang Zheyu’s question, Su Yan also thought of that vile Star Thief, and his expression darkened. "Spiritual power isn’t entirely innate. With enough training, it’s possible to become much stronger than others at the same level. That Star Thief’s spiritual power has likely advanced since a century ago."

He looked at Jiang Zheyu. "With enough time and experience, I can also reach his level. But for now, I’m too young. There’s still a gap between my strength and the power he’s accumulated over so many years."

Jiang Zheyu nodded. ’Si Yu is over a hundred years old, and he’s bullying Su Yan, who’s only in his twenties. He’s just using his age to his advantage!’

"The seniors from that Star Thief’s generation, or even the older ones, could fight him," Su Yan said, his eyelids drooping slightly. "But those powerful seniors aren’t here."

Jiang Zheyu felt like she had just learned something new again.

"If Si Yu is still alive, then the Empire’s previous Star Generals must be alive too," Jiang Zheyu thought. ’If they’re not here, does that mean they turned into beasts?’

’But Si Yu didn’t turn into a beast, so it’s impossible that the senior Star Generals did either, right?’
