402(bad(2) - Senior Sister Is on Top

The radiant glow of the Healing Lamp was both beautiful and mesmerizing. She had seen it countless times before, but never had she imagined it would appear in such a manner. The brighter the light of the lotus lamp became, the more anxious her heart grew. What kind of injuries could possibly require the full efforts of the legendary Healing Lamp? Wen Dai was aware but dared not dwell on it. She only hoped that the divine artifact would live up to its reputation and truly revive the wounded, turning the tide of fate. Recalling the sensation of hot blood splattering onto her, Wen Dai couldn't help but clench her fists, her heart overwhelmed with both sorrow and fury. In the previous incident with Yin Sheng and now with Qing Long, Wen Fei had been grievously injured twice in front of her. Not only had she been unable to stop it, but she had not even anticipated it, leaving her only to vent her anger once the dust had settled. As her emotions began to spiral out of control, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder. Wen Dai looked up to see Si Jun, who was usually reserved and cold, now looking at her with a face full of worry. "Everything will be fine." Since being advised by the Divine Lord last time, Si Jun had been trying to speak more, and now rarely said only one word. Wen Dai was taken aback, slowly realizing that the other was trying to comfort her. Her feelings were mixed and hard to describe. "Thank you for your concern," she managed to smile and said, "Perhaps the Divine Lord was right; speaking more is indeed beneficial for you." Previously, she had thought that Si Jun, being a divine tree, was devoid of emotions, but it seemed she had been wrong. As if in response to Si Jun's words, not long after, the door of the confinement room was opened, and Jiang Yin stepped out. "Master’s injuries have healed. There is no harm to his life or cultivation." Though this was something she had anticipated, hearing it confirmed still brought relief. Wen Dai sighed deeply, and seeing Jiang Yin gesture for her to enter, she said a quick thank you and hurried inside. Tang Mu Xi was sitting by the bed. Seeing Wen Dai's anxious expression, she gradually relaxed and reassured her, "Your Highness need not worry. With me here, Master will definitely be fine." Despite the reassurance, she did not notice the cold sweat on her forehead. Wen Fei's injuries were severe. The full-force attack from Qing Long had not only shattered his internal organs but also completely destroyed his core. His bones and meridians were crushed by the overwhelming force, and he had only the faintest breath left when brought in, so weak that it could vanish at any moment. The Healing Lamp was a divine artifact capable of reviving the dead and restoring bones to flesh. But even so, it could only save lives; it could not restore one's cultivation. Tang Mu Xi, not willing to let her master become a mere shell without the ability to cultivate, had resorted to bloodletting, attempting to use the power of her blood to repair the core. As a Divine Lord, her blood was incredibly powerful, but since she had not reached the pinnacle of her power, her blood was still limited. To repair a core of someone one cultivation level higher than herself required a significant quantity. She did not remember how much blood she had lost, only that she had nearly fainted from the effort to succeed. Wen Dai keenly noticed her pale face and lack of vitality. Seeing the stark contrast with her sister’s condition, she understood immediately. "Divine Lord’s kindness, Dai will remember it. From now on, I will serve with all my heart and remain loyal." As she spoke, she knelt down. Seeing this, Tang Mu Xi hurried to support her, wanting to reassure her that it was nothing to be overly concerned about. After all, Wen Fei was her master, and it was only right for her to give her all to save him. But due to the excessive blood loss, Tang Mu Xi’s strength was currently weak. Before she could even extend her hand to support Wen Dai, she felt dizzy and unsteady, nearly collapsing. Jiang Yin acted swiftly, catching her in his arms. "Your Highness, no need for such formality. Master’s injuries have been initially stabilized and should recover by tomorrow. Since your sister is also in a weak state, we will not disturb you further." With that, he carried his sister out. He was a person of deep schemes and had never understood the meaning of generosity. Today, seeing his sister disregard his objections to save Wen Fei, he hoped Wen Dai would remember this favor always. If ever a time came when his sister was in imminent danger, he hoped Wen Dai would protect her even at the cost of her own life. * On the way back to her residence, Jiang Yin’s expression was filled with complexity. On one hand, he felt heartache for his sister’s weakness. On the other, he resented her for not taking care of herself, risking her life to save another. According to their previous agreement, his sister should be punished severely, and it should be done so that she would learn her lesson. But now, with the heartache he felt, how could he be harsh enough to punish her? Jiang Yin helped his sister onto the bed and carefully covered her with blankets. "Rest well here. I will go to the secret realm to find some spiritual plants and see if they can help you recover quickly. Do you still have the Floating Immortal Island with you? The Heavenly Island’s medicinal garden also has many precious spiritual plants. If you don’t mind, I can pick some for you." Tang Mu Xi, seeing her sister did not scold her, felt a sense of guilt and handed over the Heavenly Dome Jade. "Sister, are you not angry with me?" Jiang Yin was taken aback, looking at her sister’s slightly fatigued eyes, feeling both pain and annoyance. "How could I not be angry? But seeing you in this state, how can I have the heart to focus on that? Rest well and recover. Once you are better, I will certainly deal with you." With that, he took the Heavenly Dome Jade and left. Though the words were filled with annoyance, they were like a reassuring balm to Tang Mu Xi, making her feel much better. Leaving the room, Jiang Yin first went to his secret realm and, using memories from his previous life, retrieved a Heavenly-grade treasure. It was a Dao Heart Tree. If it favored them, they could uncover the secrets of heaven and obtain an unparalleled Dao Seed. Jiang Yin had originally planned to use the Dao Heart Tree for Tang Bao, hoping it could help her advance to a higher realm. But given his sister’s severe blood loss, he had to use it earlier. He took the Dao Heart Tree to see Miao Nu, heading straight to the point. "I’m giving you this tree. Is there any way to help my sister recover quickly from her blood loss?"
