Chapter 892: Chapter 886 She Said It Hurts
The hunter who had seen the fairies fight returned that day and said that there were fairies in the mountains. The emperor had been searching for the Elixir of Life for many years and had finally received a revelation that a fairy had descended upon the mountain behind Lotus Village. So he immediately mobilized the troops stationed in Yangguan City and conducted a month-long search of the mountain.
Alas, nothing was found.
There were those who said the emperor was just stirring up empty air. Could mere mortals even find a fairy? Search for a month? Perhaps the fairy had flown away long ago.
Of course, these words were all spoken in secret, and no one dared to speak them openly and casually.
After a month of rest, Gu Youyou was able to sit up.
She had been freed from the restraints used to immobilize her, and she only needed to rest quietly now.
Her throat had healed as well, but it was still somewhat damaged and no longer as supple and melodious as before.
She was sitting in her wheelchair in the courtyard, basking in the sun. Under the sunlight, her porcelain skin appeared somewhat translucent, with the paleness of someone recovering from a serious illness.
Jin Zijin stood at the courtyard entrance for a long time without entering.
After not seeing her for a month, leaving her to struggle on the brink of life and death, did she faint over and over again in pain, screaming his name from the bottom of her heart while he was not by her side? Perhaps only someone as heartless as he could do so.
But he was afraid that upon seeing her, witnessing her sick and pale face, he would not bear to leave.
Yue Rujing nudged Jin Zijin from behind and said, "Senior Brother, why aren’t you going in? Haven’t you been wanting to see her for a long time?"
"She is resting," Jin Zijin said.
His face was somewhat gloomy, with an indistinctly troubled expression.
Yue Rujing began to smile and said, "Then you wait here. I’ll go back first. Can’t let Huo Li cause any chaos when he gets back."
"Mmm, go back quickly," Jin Zijin nodded and said.
Yue Rujing gave another glance at the person in the courtyard, sighed softly and said, "Senior Brother, please... send her my regards."
A while after Yue Rujing left, Gu Youyou opened her eyes.
The warmth of the sun made it easy to doze off, but she couldn’t sleep for long.
She had napped for about half an hour.
Turning her face, she saw Jin Zijin standing bewildered at the entrance.
She looked at him, slightly surprised.
He had come? How long had he been there? Why didn’t he come in?
She thought when she was dying, her mind was filled with thoughts of him; as she closed her eyes, she saw him, and upon opening them again to see him, it felt like it had been a century.
Seeing him now made her feel somewhat dazed.
Jin Zijin strode towards her, his gaze falling on the specially made wheelchair she was sitting in.
"Does it still hurt?"
His voice was very tender, soft like a pathetic and pitiable blade of grass.
"It hurts," she said.
Jin Zijin listened, and his heart suddenly clenched tight.
She said it hurt, her voice not as clear and lively as before, somewhat hoarse.
He remembered they had said her throat was injured.
He did not know how her throat had been injured, but he simply asked, "Has your throat not healed yet?"
Gu Youyou nodded gently and said, "I still ate that disgusting insect; it crawled in and out and injured my throat. But it didn’t manage to take anything out from my stomach. Yu Jizi, that old scoundrel, was so furious his face turned green. If I didn’t take the opportunity to mock him a few times, if I died, wouldn’t I be at a great loss?"
Jin Zijin’s heart ached at her words and he said, "You find satisfaction in sharp words, but isn’t it you, in the end, who suffer? With an injured throat, how can you still speak?"
