Chapter 140: Gentle Wooden Snow
"Since Gao cannot threaten you for the time being, then you can rest well. During the period when you are unconscious, your body has reached its limit. If you don't wake up, you may be a conscious living dead person for the rest of your life." Nan Youji said with a smile. Seeing that Xingyan had woken up, her mood gradually improved.
"I understand, and I will recover my body as soon as possible. I don't want to spend my whole life in this wooden barrel." Xing Yan said with a smile.
"I'll help you prepare some food. You can rest well tonight. Your body is already extremely fragile, so if you want to recover, it may take a long time." Nan Youji glanced at Mu Xue and pulled Siqi out.
Chen Jian glanced at Xingyan and Mu Xue, walked out alone, gently closed the door of the house, stood in the courtyard and looked at the stars in the sky, took a deep breath, and a look of relaxation appeared in his eyes. After all, Xingyan woke up, and the burden in his heart was also relaxed a little.
After Mu Xue saw everyone leaving, only she and Xingyan were left in the wooden house. The air was solemn. After a long time, she spoke: "Xingyan, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you might not have become like this."
Xing Yan was stunned and hurriedly comforted: "What are you saying? My injuries were because the evil dragon Jiao broke through the seal, so that he became what he is now. Everything has nothing to do with you."
"You don't have to lie to me. Although my consciousness was not clear during the period when I fought with you, I could still sense what happened outside." Mu Xue said with some regret.
Xingyan didn't want to explain anything more, because the more he explained, the more outrageous he would make Mu Xue feel that he was wrong, so he just smiled slightly and said, "Look, am I awake now? I won't be able to live a life again in no time."
Mu Xue looked at Xingyan's smile and said solemnly: "Xingyan, can you promise me something that you can't use the power of the evil dragon again in the future, okay?"
"Don't worry, I promise you." Xing Yan knew what Mu Xue was worried about. After all, that power was too evil and too powerful. With his current willpower, he could not control the magic power at all. If his consciousness was really eroded by evil, not only would he die, but even the people around him would not be spared. This is his most worry.
Xing Yan looked at Mu Xue's face pale and his expression was a little haggard, and his heart also felt a little painful. He was about to raise his right hand to stroke Mu Xue's cheek, but found that his body was not under his control at all, and there was no trace of consciousness on his body. Finally, he sighed and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period. You can go and rest first, I want to rest for a while."
"As long as you get better, it is worth it no matter how tired I am, so I'll go and rest first." Mu Xue said with a smile, turned around and lay on a bed not far from the wooden barrel, looked at Xing Yan, with a satisfied smile on his face, and he fell asleep sweetly.
Xingyan slowly closed his eyes, trying to check his body's condition. When he explored his mental power into his body, his heart was full of bitterness, because his body had reached its limit, all the tendons and veins in his body were broken, and his body and organs also suffered varying degrees of damage due to Ga'a's magic, causing his body to look like a big tree that had already died and would fall down at any time. However, what made him feel relieved was that because the bones were strengthened by the blessing of the ancient jade tree, an extremely weak magic power was still retained in his bones, which was slowly nourishing his body, but the speed of nourishment was far less than the speed of his body deterioration.
"This time I really did a little too much." After Xingyan took back his mental power, he smiled comfortably, slowly closed his eyes, and unknowingly entered sleep.
The next morning, when Xingyan woke up, it was already bright, and the warm sunlight shone in from outside the window, making his cheeks warm, and a gentle breeze blew in from outside, making him feel refreshed.
"You're awake." Mu Xue walked in with a bowl of steaming beast broth, placed the beast broth on the table beside her, sat next to the wooden barrel, and asked with some concern: "How do you feel? Are there any discomfort?"
Xing Yan smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine now, but I'm too weak and can't move for the time being. I'll recover after a while."
"You have been unconscious for so long, you must be hungry. I happened to bring a bowl of beast meat soup. You can eat it first." Mu Xue said as she brought the beast meat soup from the table beside her, scooped a little soup with a wooden spoon, and gently delivered it to Xingyan's mouth.
Xing Yan swallowed the beast broth with a little embarrassed. Looking at Mu Xue's serious expression, his heart was slightly warm. In the past, Mu Xue looked like a violent monster girl who was not afraid of the world. Unexpectedly, Mu Xue had such a gentle side, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
A bowl of beast broth had already entered Xingyan's stomach without realizing it. Mu Xue put the bowl aside and said with a smile: "How are you feeling? Are you still hungry? If you are not full, I will bring you another bowl."
"It's OK. I can't eat too much now. If I eat too much, my body will not be able to bear it." Xing Yan said with a smile, with a hint of relaxation in his eyes. He even had hope that time could stay at this moment forever, quietly enjoying this trouble-free life.
"Then I'll help you find the essence and blood of the monsters first, and I'll come back to chat with you in the evening." Mu Xue walked out happily with the bowl.
"Be careful." Xing Yan looked at Mu Xue's departure back and reminded him with some concern.
Mu Xue saw Nan Youji coming towards him as soon as she was in the door. She stuffed the bowl into Nan Youji's hand and said happily: "I'm going to hunt monsters."
"Don't you have to stay with Xingyan? You should have a lot to say," said Nan Youji.
"No, I will be back soon." Mu Xue said and rushed into the woods and disappeared.
"Chen Jian, come and look at Mu Xue. Don't let her get into trouble." Nan Youji said to Chen Jian who was resting beside him.
Chen Jian didn't complain, but walked into the woods, as if this was a must-have every day.
Nan Youji walked to Xingyan's side and said lightly: "Is your body still unable to move?"
Xing Yan looked at Nan Youji with a sad face. He knew that he could not hide it, so he didn't want to hide it anymore. He said seriously: "Not to mention moving, my body is gone, and I'm afraid I won't feel any pain if I kill me now."
