Chapter 47 Sect Grand Competition (22)
When Luo woke up in the water, it was already the evening of the next day.
She struggled to raise her hand, her whole body aching as if she had been crushed by a giant object.
"She's awake!" Nie Xushuang pushed open the door and entered. Seeing that she was awake, her tone became a little lighter. "Don't move around. Your injuries haven't healed yet. You two are really something, getting yourselves into this state. Uncle Lu and I are about to go to the underworld to snatch her away."
Luo Zai Shui grinned, but then suddenly remembered something and her smile vanished. "How is Chu Ye Li? And the Spirit Suppression Array... Have Master and the others arrived?"
"Don't worry, don't worry." Nie Xushuang placed her hand on her forehead and took her pulse with her other hand. "The elders are already taking care of it. You should rest assured and not worry. You've suffered such a serious injury. I don't know when you'll recover."
Luo Zai Shui nodded in relief and closed her eyes peacefully.
"You should rest first, I'll go and prepare your medicine."
Luo Zai Shui hummed in response, seemingly about to fall asleep again. Nie Xu Shuang gently closed the door and met Shi Ming's gaze outside.
Knowing what he wanted to ask, Nie Xushuang spoke up: "She's awake, but she still needs to rest for a while. I'll go get her medicine and have Xue Xin prepare it for her. I'll also prepare some light food for her. I also need to go check on Chu Yeli."
Shi Ming took a deep look at the figure lying on the bed, then looked away: "Thank you."
Nie Xushuang waved her hand: "There's no need for so much talk between us. Besides, it's only right that we have a bond here."
Compared to Luo Zai Shui, Chu Ye Li's condition was much better. When Nie Xu Shuang came in, he was already sitting on the bed comforting the sobbing Madam Chu, while the Chu family head stood silently to the side.
"Madam, I've come to change Chu Yeli's dressing."
Seeing that it was undignified for Madam Chu to cry like this in front of outsiders, she pulled the head of the Chu family away. Before leaving, the head of the Chu family thanked Nie Xushuang in a low voice.
Seeing that his father and mother had walked away, Chu Yeli finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the bed: "They're finally gone. I'm exhausted."
Nie Xushuang laughed and scolded, "Serves you right! I don't know what you're trying to prove."
Chu Yeli put his hands under his head and stared blankly at the ceiling: "You don't understand, if I don't hold on, my mother will cry herself to death."
"Yes, yes, yes," Nie Xushuang replied perfunctorily. "Get up, it's time to change your dressing."
As the layers of gauze on Chu Yeli's leg were removed, the exposed white bone was shocking. When this person was first brought back, there wasn't a single piece of good flesh on his leg. Nie Xushuang had no choice but to cut away the rotten flesh on his leg. Although she was the one who did the cutting, seeing it now still made her eyes tremble involuntarily.
"Hiss..." Chu Yeli finally saw what his leg looked like. No wonder his crybaby mother was crying like that. "Dr. Nie, look at my leg..."
"Don't worry." Nie Xushuang patted his shoulder casually, "I'll make sure you can walk normally again."
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!" Chu Yeli praised enthusiastically. "As long as I don't become a cripple, anything is negotiable!"
Nie Xushuang applied the medicine to Chu Yeli's leg, causing him to gasp in pain: "Hiss..."
Because he was too proud to show it in front of Nie Xushuang, he could only keep talking to her: "By the way, how is Luo Zai Shui? I told you she almost exhausted her spiritual power. Tsk, she's really risking her life."
Nie Xushuang lowered her head to apply the medicine to him, her eyes welling up with tears: "You have the nerve to say that? You're no better off! I don't know what you were trying to prove, that's a spirit-suppressing array! If something had happened to either of you..."
How am I supposed to explain this to Ji Yun?
Chu Yeli didn't notice the odd tone in her voice, and just scratched his head sheepishly: "We didn't want to either, who would have thought the Wen family would set up the Spirit Suppression Array? By the way, how did you break the Spirit Suppression Array?"
Nie Xushuang shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either: "According to the elders, when Uncle Xie arrived, the vengeful spirits inside had almost dissipated. He set up several spirit-attracting arrays, so it probably won't be long before the spirit-suppressing array becomes useless."
"Oh, that's good, that's good."
Chu Yeli breathed a sigh of relief, her tension suddenly eased, and a wave of drowsiness washed over her.
He yawned: "Did you put some kind of sleeping pill in my medicine? Why am I so sleepy?"
Nie Xushuang said irritably, "Of course you'll feel dizzy when your spiritual energy is exhausted. You should just rest properly. Don't even think about the final competition."
Chu Yeli obediently lay down, muttering, "That won't do. I still want to have another match with Luo Zaishui. We haven't decided a winner yet... Don't worry, I'm a genius. My spiritual energy will be replenished after a nap..."
Luo slept for several hours in a daze, during which she vaguely remembered that several people came to visit her.
In the middle of it all, she had a very unrealistic dream. In the dream, a great fire burned down Xianyun Peak, Xue Xin lay in a pool of blood, and Su Wusi was crying silently. She was instantly awakened.
"Senior Sister!"
When Su Wusi saw that she was awake, she quickly went to her bedside. Luo Zaishui was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. She only came to her senses after seeing that it was Su Wusi.
"Senior sister, are you alright? Did you have a nightmare?"
Su Wusi handed her a cup of warm tea to calm her nerves, and then placed a bowl of warm medicine and white porridge in front of her: "Senior sister, drink your medicine first, and then eat some porridge to fill your stomach. Senior sister Nie said that you should eat a light diet these days. Tomorrow I will go and buy you some of your favorite candied fruits and pastries to eat after you take your medicine."
Luo Zai Shui drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp, the bitter taste spreading in her mouth. She looked at Su Wu Si and after a long while, she said, "I dreamed that a great fire burned down Xianyun Peak."
Su Wusi looked a little uncomfortable. She smiled and said, "Senior sister, how could that be? These things won't happen. Don't worry. Eat something and get some rest. You must be too tired lately."
Luo Zai Shui took the white porridge handed to her, scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth. A hint of sweetness spread in her bitter mouth. The taste was somewhat familiar; it must have been cooked by her senior brother.
Seeing that it was late and Su Wusi showed no sign of leaving, she took the initiative to ask, "Aren't you going to rest so late?"
Su Wusi placed her medicine bowl on the tea table and sat down in front of her: "Senior sister, I have to stay with you tonight. If you get a high fever again, I can take care of you. If it weren't for senior brother checking on you every now and then today, we probably wouldn't have been able to find out that you had a fever in time."
Luo Zai Shui placed her hand on her slightly cold forehead and smiled, "I'm much better now, I shouldn't have a fever anymore, you should go back and rest."
Su Wusi shook her head, insisting on not leaving: "No, Senior Sister, how can this be taken lightly? You rest, I'll stay with you. You used to stay with me when I was sick, now it's my turn to stay with you."
"Before?" Luo Zai Shui raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a slightly amused expression.
Su Wusi, who had let the cat out of the bag, just smiled, helped her lie down, and tucked her in: "You will always be my senior sister, and I will always protect Xianyun Peak. Senior sister, believe me."
Because that's my only home.
Luo moved a little further into the water and suggested, "This bed is big enough, why don't you lie down and rest with me? We can't meditate all night, can we?"
Afraid of pressing on Luo Zai Shui's wound, Su Wu Si smiled and shook her head, "Senior Sister, sleep peacefully. Senior Brother and the others should come to see you tomorrow. You should rest and recover first."
"it is good……"
Another wave of drowsiness washed over me, but thankfully I had no dreams that night.
