Chapter 4257 Wanting to See My Wife
When I woke up again, I found myself lying in a bed, surrounded by empty space.
The room felt unfamiliar; it seemed like I'd never been here before.
When I woke up, my mind was a little foggy, and I tried hard to remember what had happened.
Soon, my thoughts rushed back like a tide. Our group fought with Hu Jiuqing, and almost everyone was injured and unable to fight anymore. Just when Hu Jiuqing was about to finish me off, the Eight-Tailed Fox appeared. The Eight-Tailed Fox scared away Hu Jiuqing and Liu Hao. My vision went black, and I fainted.
Yes, my wife is back. Where is she?
Where am I now?
The thought of this immediately perked me up, and I first took a look at my current situation.
Originally, Hu Jiuqing's powerful move had left me riddled with holes, and even the golden armor I was wearing couldn't withstand his terrifying sword strike.
But right now, I'm perfectly fine; the wounds from before only look like faint traces.
Then I remembered that Zhang Qing'an seemed to have drunk a packet of herbal medicine made from the leaves of the *Zhaoyao* tree with me.
It must have been the herbs that worked, allowing my body to recover quickly. Now I don't feel any pain at all.
I tried to sit up in bed. I could move freely, but I felt a little weak.
Just then, I heard footsteps and voices coming from the doorway.
"Tell me, has Wu Laoliu woken up yet? That kid has been sleeping for a whole day and night." It was the voice of the disheveled Taoist priest; I could recognize it even if he were ashes.
"That's about enough. The leaves of that 'Swallowing Tree' can bring the dead back to life. Although he's badly injured, he shouldn't die." This time it was Brother Gu's voice.
“Brother Wu will definitely be fine, don’t worry,” Yuan Kong added.
As they were speaking, the door was pushed open, and everyone rushed in.
Everyone was there, and as soon as they saw me sitting on the bed, they walked over to me.
"Old Wu, you're something else! You've recovered almost exactly as before, even after being injured like that. Back then, when Hu Jiuqing hit you with that sword, your face was covered in blood and all mangled. I thought you were disfigured and wouldn't be able to live off women anymore." The slovenly Taoist patted my shoulder.
"Damn it, how dare you say that? Didn't you invite the patriarch to possess you? Why didn't the patriarch come over?" I rolled my eyes at the slovenly Taoist priest.
"It's really not my fault. I tried my best to invite them, but the magic array set up around me isolated everything, which caused me to have shivering for a long time," the slovenly Taoist said dejectedly.
At this moment, I glanced at everyone and they were all fine, seemingly unharmed.
Only Brother Gu had a bandage around his neck, with his arm in a sling.
“Brother Gu, your hand…” I glanced at Brother Gu. I remembered that Hu Jiuqing had cut off one of Brother Gu’s arms. It really broke my heart back then.
“My hand is fine. Not long after your wife arrived, Minister Tang came with a group of people, found my severed hand, and reattached it. I also drank a packet of herbal medicine made from the leaves of the Zhayao tree. In a few days, I will be back to normal.”
As he spoke, Brother Gu raised his severed hand and waved it at me.
It's truly amazing that the herbal medicine made from the leaves of this swaying tree saved all of our lives.
This time, almost everyone used a packet of herbs. It seems that if we have the chance, we should go to the Kingdom of Pierced Chest again and get more tree leaves to carry with us.
"Little Jie, you should be alright now, right? I see you've recovered very well. By the way, your talisman armor is damaged. It looks like you'll have to take it back and repair it; it's a complete mess." As he spoke, Little Fatty took out a bloody mess from beside the bed. It was the talisman armor I had been wearing before, now riddled with holes and in a terrible state.
Luckily, this thing blocked my way, otherwise I would have been dead.
I glanced at the golden armor and talisman, and the image of the eight-tailed fox's stunning beauty kept flashing through my mind.
But there was no eight-tailed fox among them, which immediately gave me a bad feeling.
"Um...where's my wife?" I awkwardly touched my ear, then looked away, not daring to meet their eyes.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.
When I heard no response, my heart sank. I sighed and said, "She left again, didn't she?"
“Yes, she left again. She said she had something urgent to attend to and would come to see you again later,” the slovenly Taoist priest said hastily.
I sighed inwardly, my previously high spirits instantly turning to utter dejection.
What is she doing? Did she come back just to save my life...?
"Hey, Xiao Jie, don't be sad. Your wife said she'll definitely come back..." Brother Gu patted my shoulder.
"I understand. I'm a little tired. You can leave now. I want to be alone." I waved to them.
"You just want some peace and quiet, don't you miss me?" A familiar voice came through, instantly sending chills down my spine.
I looked up towards the door and saw the eight-tailed fox standing there with a smile on her face. Light shone on her, and at that moment, she was indescribably beautiful.
Those bastards conspired to lie to me; it turns out my wife didn't leave after all.
That must have been a terrible idea from that slovenly Taoist priest.
Thinking about this made me angry, and I kicked the slovenly Taoist priest: "You son of a bitch, you lied to me, didn't you say you were leaving?"
"Oh dear... I'm a little tired, I want to be alone... Look at how pathetic you were just now, hahaha..." The slovenly Taoist priest dodged my foot and mocked me mercilessly.
"Oh dear, so my young master doesn't want to see me? Then I'll leave?" The eight-tailed fox was still standing at the door, giving me a slight smile that was breathtakingly beautiful.
"I want to see my wife, come here quickly..." I said, I rolled out of bed, wanting to rush towards the eight-tailed fox and give her a big hug first.
What I didn't expect was that the injury was too severe. Although it wasn't visible on the body, my legs were still weak, and in my excitement, I fell off the bed.
The eight-tailed fox quickly took a few steps, helped me up, and made me sit back on the bed.
"Are you so excited? You haven't fully recovered yet." The eight-tailed fox sat down next to me, so close that I could clearly see her eyelashes and her bright eyes, like stars in the sky.
"The young couple hasn't seen each other for a long time, absence makes the heart grow fonder, so let's not be third wheels and let them catch up..." Brother Gu waved to everyone and they all left the room.
(The eight-tailed fox you've been waiting for is back~ Remember to send a message!)
