Chapter 66: Going Home

"You two, leave first." Dan Heng said calmly.

"!!!"

Zi Ji widened her eyes, full of dissatisfaction.

She really wanted to loudly question Dan Heng—where had he been when she and her master were being humiliated?

And now he dared to return?

The best way to heal her master was to take her back to the Star Dou Forest and immerse her in the Lake of Life!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She stomped her foot hard.

"Fine! I'll leave!!!"

Zi Ji stormed out in frustration.

As she passed by Dan Heng, she wanted to stomp on his foot.

But just as she lifted her leg, Zhu Zhuqing gave her a push from behind.

Startled, she thought Dan Heng was about to strike, and she stumbled forward, nearly falling flat on her face.

Zhu Zhuqing quickly pulled her along and left.

Zi Ji said nothing, just followed along.

Once the two women left, Dan Heng sat by the bed, gazing at Gu Yuena's peaceful face.

He could sense the severe injuries within her body.

Taking out a branch from the Ancient Life Tree, he knew that while it couldn't completely heal Gu Yuena, it could easily remove her internal suffering.

With a slight twist of his fingers, the branch turned into glowing green powder, sparkling as it sprinkled onto Gu Yuena's face.

Without needing any medium, the powder was absorbed into her body.

Instantly, color returned to Gu Yuena's face as her depleted life force rapidly replenished.

Outside the Room

As soon as Zhu Zhuqing and Zi Ji exited and closed the door behind them, Zi Ji let out a cold snort and said:"It's all because of you stopping me! Otherwise, I would have definitely taught that irresponsible brother-in-law a good lesson! He's simply too much!"

Zi Ji crossed her arms, looking defiant.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at her and recalled Zi Ji's panicked expression upon seeing Dan Heng return.

She couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

How did this woman have the guts to say such things?

"Zi Ji, how is my sister?" A voice suddenly called from the opposite side.

"!!!" Zi Ji jolted in fright.

Seeing that it was Di Tian, she glared at him in annoyance and said:"What are you doing here? My sister is still unconscious! It's all because of that sc—uh, that brother-in-law. If he were here…"

Di Tian responded flatly, "It was he who brought you both back."

"Eh?" Zi Ji froze.

She had been too affected by her emotions earlier to pay attention to who had actually carried her back.

All she remembered was Gu Yuena appearing to rescue her.

She hadn't expected that it was actually that lecherous ghost who brought them back?

Did that mean she had wrongfully blamed him?

That old pervert had willingly exposed his strength to save them?

For a moment, Zi Ji felt a strange mix of surprise and flattery.

"How is my lord's condition?" Di Tian frowned, watching Zi Ji.

Why was this junior suddenly dazed again?

She really didn't seem like someone reliable. Maybe he should have sent Bi Ji instead!

Zi Ji snapped out of her thoughts, her face turning red.

Now that she realized she had been wrong, she wondered whether she should apologize or try to make it up to Dan Heng.

But hearing Di Tian's question, all of her guilt instantly disappeared.

Even if Dan Heng had saved them, he should still have let them take their master away instead of keeping her here!

"I think we need to take my sister… back home! She can't get proper treatment here! Di Tian, hurry up, go inside and bring my sister back. We can't let her stay here."

Zi Ji urged him.

After all, she didn't dare confront Dan Heng directly.

The memory of that Water Azure Dragon was too traumatic—she definitely didn't want to get hit by it again!

Di Tian shot her a cold glance. Just as he was about to push the door open, he noticed the flicker of slyness in Zi Ji's eyes.

With a cold voice, he asked, "Why don't you do it?"

Zi Ji immediately shook her head, looking extremely serious:

"I'm a woman!"

"…"

Di Tian let out a sneering laugh, really wanting to slap her.

Did she think he couldn't see through her petty tricks?

She just wanted him to offend Dan Heng instead!

But if Dan Heng had the power to bring back their master and had even gone out on a special trip, wasn't it obvious that he had gone to find medicine for her?

Di Tian was far more thoughtful than Zi Ji. He withdrew his hand and said calmly:

"No unnecessary noise. Just wait."

Zi Ji grew anxious, "Wait for what? The longer we wait, the more danger my sister is in! You're… you're supposed to be our leader! Are you really afraid? You don't actually believe that… brother-in-law has any way of healing her, do you?"

Di Tian clenched his fist.

This junior was actually trying to use reverse psychology on him?

He narrowed his eyes, looking at Zi Ji with a dangerous gaze.

Just as he was about to say something—

Suddenly.

A surge of divine energy radiated from within the room.

At the same time, a familiar presence emerged—the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, had awakened!

And her aura was even more stable than before!

Di Tian and Zi Ji exchanged glances, seeing the same intense joy reflected in each other's eyes.

Inside the Room

Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes.

At that moment, her entire body felt warm.

Ever since she had split off, she had never felt this kind of warmth before.

The constant internal pain and tearing sensation were gone.

It felt so comfortable that she almost wanted to moan.

"Mmm~"

She let out a soft nasal sound before finally noticing Dan Heng sitting beside her.

Her face immediately flushed red, and her eyes grew misty.

In an instant, she realized that her current condition was all thanks to Dan Heng.

She sat up. Even though her body was now completely healthy, she had just recovered from a severe condition and needed some time to fully regain control of her movements.

So, when she moved too quickly—she accidentally headbutted Dan Heng's chin.

"Thud…"

Gu Yuena fell back onto the bed.

The awkward moment hung in the air.

Dan Heng, however, remained expressionless.

He had been holding her wrist to check her condition, and now that he sensed her life force fully restored, he let go.

But the moment he released her, Gu Yuena grasped his hand again, interlocking their fingers.

"Husband, how long did I sleep?"

"Not even a full day." Dan Heng replied.

Gu Yuena sighed in relief.

This time, she was more careful. She slowly crawled into Dan Heng's embrace, resting her head against his chest.

As her warmth pressed against him, Dan Heng felt an unfamiliar yet soothing sense of fulfillment.

A kind of gentle warmth.

"Husband, do you know what I feared the most while I was unconscious?"

Gu Yuena smiled lightly.

She didn't need to ask what Dan Heng had done to help her—it was self-evident.

It was his love that had revived her.

They needed to maintain this silent understanding.

Dan Heng asked, "What?"

"I was afraid that when I woke up, I wouldn't see you."

"But… I'm really happy. Because the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes… was you."

Gu Yuena lifted her face and pressed her lips toward Dan Heng's cheek.

"!!!"

Dan Heng felt as if he had been petrified.

He couldn't move.
