Su Zijin was taken aback by Mu Hongchen's words, and then a wry smile also appeared on her face.
Isn't that the truth? With Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan swapping bodies, now Wen Rou, wearing Jian Ruyan's face, calls her mother, almost as if she gained another daughter-in-law.
After her wry smile, Su Zijin looked towards "Wen Rou" and asked Wen Rou, "Xiao Yan is alright, isn't she?"
Wen Rou shook her head and said, "It's fine, she forcefully took over my body while she was weak; she's still recuperating. She'll be fine once she wakes up."
"How do you... feel? Are you uncomfortable?" Su Zijin asked with concern.
"It's okay, Mom. This was my own decision. If I really couldn't accept it and couldn't bear it, Sister Ruyan wouldn't possibly be able to control my body," Wen Rou said with a smile.
While they were talking and comforting Wen Rou,
Elsewhere,
Mu Jinyu remembered Yu Shenfeng's injuries and also secretly fretted over his condition.
After all, Yu Shenfeng was so severely injured because he fought with Ye Wushuang in his stead. Otherwise, how would he have ended up in such a state, with his lifetime reputation utterly ruined.
"Master, don't pass out, the Dragon Master is coming, he's coming to save you..."
Qiu Bai held Yu Shenfeng's battered body, anxiously shouting while looking back. Seeing Mu Jinyu covered in blood approaching them, he couldn't help but cry out loudly to Yu Shenfeng.
"Uh... huff..."
Yu Shenfeng's consciousness began to blur, occasionally letting out painful moans, taking in less air and exhaling more.
Mu Jinyu hurried over and said to Qiu Bai and Chen Xiuying who was crying her eyes out, "Put him down and step back."
"Okay."
Qiu Bai quickly laid Yu Shenfeng down steadily on the ground, then pulled Chen Xiuying aside.
Mu Jinyu stepped in swiftly, began channeling the Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art, and instantly, boundless Life Source Energy, like the surging of the tide, poured tumultuously into Yu Shenfeng's body!
Yu Shenfeng's injuries were very severe, much worse than Jian Ruyan's.
Jian Ruyan only had her heart pierced by the Leopard Gall Sword twice, and her other five viscera and six bowels were fine; as long as her heart was repaired, she would be alright.
But Yu Shenfeng, at that time, had been pierced by countless Ice Swords, which shattered inside him, sweeping ice shards throughout his body; his five viscera and six bowels as well as his limbs were riddled like a sieve. The fact that he could hold on to a breath of life till now was likely due to the years of enduring cold poison and recently starting to cultivate the Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi—it was truly miraculous!
However, there was still a breath of life in him, he wasn't completely dead, there was hope for salvation.
Mu Jinyu had even managed to save Jian Ruyan in that condition; how could he be afraid of not being able to save Yu Shenfeng?
As the ceaseless Life Source Energy poured into Yu Shenfeng's body, it completely eradicated the needle-like ice shards and swiftly repaired his five viscera and six bowels.
In just a few moments, Yu Shenfeng's interior, which had been shattered, was now restored, as robust as ever.
"Uh..."
Yu Shenfeng uttered a low groan, his blurry consciousness feeling streams of warm energy wrapping around him, making him very comfortable, with not even a hint of numb pain left.
It was as if he was lounging in a hot spring.
Yu Shenfeng's willpower had been honed over decades of suffering from cold poison; unlike Jian Ruyan, who remained unconscious, when he felt his body improving, he struggled to open his eyes after a short while.
"Hmm? Am I not dead?"
Yu Shenfeng opened his eyes, saw Mu Jinyu, and spoke with a weak and blurry voice.
"Of course, you're not dead!" Mu Jinyu's tense face finally relaxed upon seeing Yu Shenfeng awake, and he said with a light laugh.
He felt a sense of dread in his heart, it had been far too dangerous. Fortunately, Yu Shenfeng's will had been sturdy enough and his life, tough as nails, otherwise, after saving Jian Ruyan, he might not have had the chance to save him.
Or maybe it would have been cool for quite some time.
In that case, he really would have felt incredibly guilty towards Yu Shenfeng.
"Master, I'm so glad you're alright..."
Qiu Bai and Chen Xiuying, upon seeing Yu Shenfeng regain consciousness, immediately approached him cautiously and spoke with excited tones.
At this moment, Yu Shenfeng had also fully regained his consciousness and recalling the situation before he fell unconscious, he eagerly asked Mu Jinyu, "Dragon Master, what about Ye Wushuang? Is he dead?"
Mu Jinyu was stunned at first, then his expression darkened, a terrifying murderous aura gushing out like a tsunami, so oppressive that Qiu Bai and Chen Xiuying had difficulty breathing.
Seeing Mu Jinyu's face, Yu Shenfeng knew the situation was not good; even Mu Jinyu had been unable to deal with Ye Wushuang. How had this man, who once ranked seventh on the Divine Rankings, managed to escalate to such a level?
Mu Jinyu's face was grim, boiling with a murderous intent.
He wouldn't forget - the fatal injuries to Yu Shenfeng and Jian Ruyan had been orchestrated by this man. Unfortunately, he had not really killed Ye Wushuang, that dog, when he had just returned to investigate the situation!
He had merely crippled his dantian.
Going after him now would probably be too late, for Li Zhexiong had likely already rescued him.
'Li Zhexiong!'
Another name surfaced in his mind, and Mu Jinyu's urge to kill flared once again!
His desire to kill Li Zhexiong was now no less than that for Ye Wushuang!
After all, had it not been for Li Zhexiong coming to Ye Wushuang's aid, how could Jian Ruyan have been wounded by the Sword Pill that Ye Wushuang intentionally left on the ground? She had nearly died!
If it weren't for him instructing Nameless to teach his followers the Soul Snatching Technique, offering them multiple life-saving methods, Jian Ruyan would probably not have been able to wait for his rescue before meeting her demise!
Then he really wouldn't know what to do!
When Xiang Mantang returned, how would he face the brother who had entrusted his sister to him?
'Li Zhexiong, Ye Wushuang, just wait, run all you want, sooner or later I will settle this debt with you both thoroughly!'
Taking a deep breath, Mu Jinyu managed to suppress his murderous intent towards these two men and forced a smile at Yu Shenfeng. Apologetically, he said, "I'm sorry, elder, I could have killed Ye Wushuang to avenge you, but my sister was attacked by Ye Wushuang's dark move, forcing me to rush back to save her, so I only crippled his dantian. He should still be alive..."
"Dragon Master, you don't need to apologize to me..." Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation, Yu Shenfeng immediately understood why Mu Jinyu had erupted with such intense murderous intent.
It turned out that Ye Wushuang, not only had he gravely injured himself, but he had also attacked Mu Jinyu's sister. At least, who Mu Jinyu's sister was, he wasn't quite sure, but it didn't matter, it was enough to pronounce a death sentence for Ye Wushuang.
"Dragon Master, since you have crippled Ye Wushuang's dantian, you should finish him off. You stay here to look after your sister, and I'll have Qiu Bai go to take care of him," Yu Shenfeng said.
He believed that Mu Jinyu, having crippled Ye Wushuang, was unaware of his fate but had to take care of his sister, so he had no time to thoroughly eradicate Ye Wushuang. However, as an assassin, he would not be negligent.
Mu Jinyu explained, "Ye Wushuang did not escape on his own. If it hadn't been for Li Zhexiong stepping in, he would have been dead long ago. In the end, it must have been Li Zhexiong who helped him leave."
"Li Zhexiong... he intervened?"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Yu Shenfeng's face became grave, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes!
He had a very deep impression of Li Zhexiong; after all, there was a time when he had the chance to seize the number one spot on the Divine Rankings, but in the end, he had been defeated by Li Zhexiong.
He had lost convincingly, without feeling that it was mere luck that had allowed the other to win!
Now having heard news of Li Zhexiong once more, and that he was now an enemy, how could Yu Shenfeng not feel the gravity of the situation!
