693 Res

His consciousness was in constant darkness. While he was semi-conscious, LinDong faintly heard some soft and gentle sounds ringing beside his ear. Thesesounds were melodious and very touching. It gave one the urge to open one’seyes to see the appearance of the voice’s owner…

However, in the end, Lin Dong did not open his eyes. Deep weariness swelledand rushed out from the depths of his mind like a tide, causing his eyes toremain shut.

This weariness lasted for quite a long period of time. Finally, after a longstruggle, his eyes forcefully pushed apart his eyelids and opened a small crack.

A gentle ray of sunlight shot down on him. This caused the crack between LinDong’s eyelids to grow increasingly large before the sunlight finally banishedthe darkness…

After opening his eyes, the first thing that appeared in Lin Dong’s vision wasa quiet room filled with the scent of sandalwood. Vermillion red-coloured lightreflected off his surroundings and bloomed within his eyes. It had a calm yetimposing atmosphere.

Lin Dong stared at the strange and unfamiliar environment around him. Anextremely brief moment of absentmindedness flashed past his eyes. In the nextinstant, he suddenly stood up. Just as he was about to leap forth, his bodyturned soft. A powerless sensation started to spread from his limbs and hisbody, leaving Lin Dong with no strength…

The sensation of weakness within his body caused Lin Dong’s expression tochange. However, he gradually calmed down. Slightly wrinkling his eyebrows, itwas apparent that he seemed to have recalled something.

“Ying Huanhuan should have made it in the end…” muttered Lin Dong to himself.Thinking back to the last moment he could recall, he remembered hearing herfamiliar voice. From the looks of it, it seems like in the end, the Dao Sectmembers managed to reach there in time.

“I’m actually hurt this badly…”

Lin Dong lowered his head and looked at his pale white palms. Unable toresist, he started wrinkling his eyebrows. He could feel the waves of painbeing transmitted from within his body. Even the revolution of his Yuan Powerwas faced with some obstruction. It was obvious that the injuries that he hadreceived this time were extremely serious.

Of course, the frowning Lin Dong failed to consider what kind of adversary hehad faced. He was only at five Yuan Nirvana Stage. Coupled with the fact thathe was a four Seal Heaven Symbol Master, as well as the various tricks up hissleeves, it was still quite a stretch to go toe to toe with an eight YuanNirvana Stage expert. Moreover, Yao Ling was an expert who had reached the nineYuan Nirvana Stage. If he had not relied on the explosive energy within thefive Ancient Immortal Yuan Fruits, Lin Dong would never match up to him.Furthermore, he even managed to wound Yao Ling severely.

Placed amongst the various super sects, a nine Yuan Nirvana Stage expert wouldalready be capable of being a top class disciple. In fact, one would even beable to garner a pretty strong reputation within the entire Eastern XuanRegion. Nonetheless, Lin Dong was actually able to accomplish such a feat whilebeing chased by Yao Ling and the rest, who were trying to kill him. If news ofthis incident was disseminated, there would be a high possibility that anuproar would occur.

Lin Dong slowly walked down from his bed. At this moment, there was absolutelyno Yuan Power within his body. It would likely require quite a few days ofnursing in order to gradually recover his Yuan Power.

Creak

Walking across the room, Lin Dong pushed open the door. Warm sunlightvigorously poured down, enveloping Lin Dong’s entire body. Under the gentlewarmth, Lin Dong could feel that the throbbing pain within his body hadsignificantly subsided.

There was a spacious corridor outside the room. Before this corridor, therewas a secluded courtyard. Within the courtyard, there were a few people calmlysitting on the floor. Hearing the sound of the door being opened, theyhurriedly turned around. Immediately following that, a pleasantly surprisedexpression started to emerge on their faces.

“You finally decided to wake up, Lin Dong…”

Lin Dong looked at Mo Ling and the few others who were gathering around himand surprised expressions. He could sense their strong feelings of concern aswell as the joy within their eyes. Feeling slightly warmed in his heart, hesmiled and nodded while saying: “How long was I out for?”

“Ten days…” replied Mo Ling while indicating with his fingers.

Lin Dong was slightly startled. Although he had somewhat expected it, he hadnever imagined himself being in such a deep slumber after getting injured. Itwas likely due to the backlash from forcefully devouring five Ancient ImmortalYuan Fruits.

“You are really famous now. News about you has been transmitted across thewhole Dao Sect. It is said that even though you were besieged by Devil SealMass and many other experts, you still managed to injure Yao Ling, who wasranked fourth on the sect’s wanted list. That fellow is a nine Yuan Nirvanastage expert and he has quite a strong reputation within Eastern Xuan Region…”praised Liu Bai while clicking his tongue. The way he stared at Lin Dong wasunexpectedly filled with unconcealable admiration.

“Furthermore, the most important fact is that Yao Ling used to be a deacon ofYuan Gate. You don’t how much pride you have gained for us, disciples of DaoSect…”

Lin Dong looked at Liu Bai and the rest who wore excited and flushedexpressions on their faces. He could not help but feel somewhat speechless. Hehad almost lost his life this time around and he was nowhere as suave as theymentioned…

“Lin Dong, you’re awake?”

Just when Lin Dong was getting a headache from their frenzied discussions, amelodious and lovely voice filled with unconcealable surprise rang out suddenlyfrom within the courtyard. At once, everyone turned towards to the location ofthe noise, which led them to stare at a corner of the courtyard covered in theshade of plants. At that spot, stood a young lady in the prime of youth.

The young lady stood under the shade. Her slender and soft body was wrapped upin her clothing accentuating her alluring curves. Light shone through theleaves and illuminated her exquisite and charming little face, showing herbright and beautiful big eyes, which are now brimming with delight.

The young lady’s features were certainly extremely beautiful. As her jet blackponytail hung down, it incited an arc filled vigor and vitality at the tip.

When Mo Ling and the rest saw the young lady, a sparkle flashed past theireyes, before they promptly turned and stared mischievously at Lin Dong.

“When you were in a coma, junior sister Ying Huanhuan was taking care of youmost of the time. She would often come running to our Desolate Hall, whichactually caused quite a few disciples of Desolate Hall to envy you…” said MoLing, who was now wearing a strange smile.

After hearing his words, Lin Dong clearly gawked for a moment. He was clearlyaware of how popular Ying Huanhuan was amongst the Dao Sect disciples.Furthermore, she had quite a reputable background as well. Never would he hadimagined that a young lady that was akin to a princess in the Dao Sect, wouldactually go out of the way to take care of him…

“Hey, did you turn into a retard after sleeping?”

Just as Lin Dong was still absent-minded, the young lady had already arrivedin from of him. Extending her perfect and slender white hand that would makemany men drool, she waved it in front of him, while a melodious voice akin to amusical instrument rang out.

Recovering his composure, Lin Dong proceed to stare at the delicate face infront of him before giving a smile and replied: “ At the final moment, thanksfor making it on time. If not, perhaps I would not be able to return this time…”

“Hmph, you just love to flaunt and talk big. It was obvious that you can’thandle it yet you still had to act so fierce.” replied Ying Huanhuan as shecurled her lip.

Lin Dong started choking for a while because of her reply. Promptly, he feltslightly helpless. This little great aunt was really not easy to satisfy. Inthat kind of situation, there was no way to ensure everyone’s safety. To saveone of their lives was already a pretty decent scenario…

“Of course, I will not deny that you were indeed very dashing at that moment.If you did it a few more times, perhaps I will fall for you,” said YingHuanhuan as she smiled sweetly after seeing Lin Dong’s depressed expression

Lin Dong chose not to reply. To him, experiencing such an incident once wasalready more than enough. He did not want to experience it again…

“What happened to those fellows in the end?” asked Lin Dong as if he suddenlythought of something.

“They’re all dead. There won’t be the Devil Seal Mass in the future. As forthose people who crossed blows with you, so long as they took personal action,they would have been finished off…:” said Ying Huanhuan in an indifferentattitude while slightly lifting her eyelashes.

Lin Dong nodded his head in silence. “It looks like this time around, the DaoSect got fairly furious. They were unexpectedly ruthless…”. However, this wasthe only way to establish one’s dominance. Otherwise, how could the disciplesof Dao Sect travel outside in the future if anyone could easily humiliate them?

“This time, all the elders were very excited to see the Ancient Immortal YuanSeed being brought back and you contributed the lion’s share of the work. Afteryou’ve recovered, fa… lord sect master would like to personally see you.” saidYing Huanhuan with a smile.

“Oh?”

Only at this juncture, did Lin Dong’s expression slightly change. Even withthe strength of mind, after hearing this, he faintly cramped for a second.Regardless, that person was the head of Dao Sect. He was also one of the toppractitioners within the vast area of the Eastern Xuan Region. A single thoughtby him alone could make countless empires vanish in a puff of smoke.

Mo Ling and the rest who were standing nearby all had faces full of envy. Forone to be able to meet with the lord sect master, who was incredibly hard toeven catch a glimpse of, was no simple feat…

“Relax. You’re now a hero in our Dao Sect.” comforted the young lady with asmile after discovering Lin Dong’s stunned reaction. She quickly proceeded toretrieve a basket from her Qiankun Bag, which was filled to the brim withvarious medicines and pills that were used to treat injuries.

“These medicines are very effective for treating wounds. I actually went tothe pill room for at least half a day to collect all of them. This is anointment to be applied externally. This is to be swallowed…”

The young lady used her fine jade like fingers to point at the bottles andjars within the basket while carefully explaining their contents. After shefinished her explanation, she felt something amiss about the surroundingatmosphere. Raising her head, she saw Mo Ling and the rest with a weirdexpression on their faces.

There was no one within the entire Dao Sect who did not know how weird andmischievous Ying Huanhuan was. Who knew that this lively and vibrant young ladyactually had such a gentle and tender side to her?

“What are you guys looking at! Have you never seen before a beautiful womanbefore!”

After being stared weirdly at by Mo Ling and the rest, a crimson shade flashedpast her snowy white cheeks. Immediately, she glared at them. Seeing this, MoLing and the rest rapidly shrunk their necks before quickly turning away.

“Hmph, it can be said that you are more or less half my saviour. I don’t wantothers to say that I, Ying Huanhuan am ungrateful. Please take it.”

Ying Huanhuan’s big eyes turned around and faced Lin Dong while maintainingher awe-inspiring image. She proceeded to viciously shove the basket into LinDong’s hand before immediately turning around and leaving. Her free and easyactions were quite domineering. However, no one noticed that the moment thatyoung girl turned around, her tender and delicate earlobes had already turnedred.

Looking at the beautiful figure of the rapidly departing young lady, Lin Dongcould not help but touch his nose. “It seems like the gentleness and softnessshe displayed earlier was merely a short-lived moment.”

“Hehe, younger senior sister Huanhuan is not bad. This is the first time I sawher take such good care of someone…” teased Liu Bai with a grin, as he raisedhis eyebrows towards Lin Dong.

“Stop speaking nonsense. She only did this because she was grateful to me forsaving her life,” replied Lin Dong irritatedly.

“However, she did take good care of you during this period of time. Besides, Ihave to tell you a piece of bad news. You should be quite clear of juniorsister Ying Huanhuan’s charm. Hence, since she had taken such good care of you,there will definitely be some people who would be displeased…”

Mo Ling patted Lin Dong’s shoulders while a helpless expression appeared onhis face: “According to what I know, even Qing Ye has expressed discontentmentover this matter. He is from Earth Hall and is the most talented person afterelder senior sister Ying Xiaoxiao amongst the Dao Sect younger generationmembers. Therefore, you will have to be careful in the future.”

Unable to resist, Lin Dong’s face started to turn black. At this moment hewished to curse out loud. What the hell does this have to do with me? He simplycould not understand how he would actually wound up provoking someone evenwhile in a stupor?

“Femme fatale.” consoled Mo Ling.

“There is nothing between us!”

Replied Lin Dong. However, after he said those words, he saw Mo Ling and therest continuously casting their gazes at the basket in his hand. At thismoment, he felt wave after wave of stifling feeling in his chest.
