Chaoxun said:
“Very well, I will save you.”
Immediately after, she turned to Jiang Chuan and the others:
“It’s getting dark. Find a place nearby for us to rest.”
Jiang Chuan replied, “Yes!”
Jiang Chuan, Su Jin, and the others found a nearby villa. They cleaned it out first before inviting Chaoxun inside.
Chaoxun extended her fingertips, letting pure spiritual energy seep out as she tapped the man gently on his forehead, his chest, and his dantian.
Yu Shun felt a wave of warmth surge from these three points throughout his entire body. He actually felt a sliver of strength returning to him.
Chaoxun had temporarily secured his life, ensuring that he wouldn’t draw his last breath from something as simple as a sneeze.
She examined the man’s body, clicking her tongue in amazement.
“Who on earth did you provoke to end up in this state? Your limbs were shattered, and your spiritual root—oh, wait, your special ability—was plundered. What a ruthless method.”
“Looking at you, you must have starved for at least a month. You became like this at the very beginning of the apocalypse; how did you manage to survive?”
Hearing this, Yu Shun’s eyes turned deep and dark.
He and Yu Tao now shared an absolutely irreconcilable hatred—a fight to the death!
He had known of Yu Tao’s existence for a long time, and he knew how much the other man hated him and his mother.
However, his mother had also been deceived; she did not intentionally intrude upon Yu Tao’s family.
Yet, Yu Tao had ambushed him, killed his mother right before his eyes, plundered his ability, broke his limbs, and bound him to a laboratory table to wait for death.
But Yu Shun was not so easy to kill. When he was hungry, he ate the laboratory rats. When the rats ran out, he drank his own blood. Finally, he had waited long enough for someone to come and rescue him!
Seeing Chaoxun’s curiosity, Yu Shun spoke up, his voice as raspy as a broken gong.
“It was Yu Tao.”
He refused to acknowledge Yu Tao as his half-brother.
Hearing his voice, Chaoxun frowned slightly.
“Alright, you had better shut your mouth for now.”
What a terrible sound.
Chaoxun then used her spiritual energy to slowly permeate his body, repairing his shriveled and damaged internal organs, mending his ruptured blood vessels and meridians, and clearing away his old injuries.
She was too lazy to wait for his body to heal slowly.
“Next, it might hurt a bit. Bear with it. If you can’t survive it, you die.”
Before Yu Shun could speak, Chaoxun’s majestic spiritual energy poured into his body, forcefully filling his weakened frame.
In the next moment, the onlookers’ eyes widened in sheer disbelief.
They saw flesh and blood rapidly growing beneath the man’s paper-thin skin. His pale complexion gradually became ruddy, and his shriveled frame filled out once more.
In such a short span of time, he had actually transformed from a dried corpse into a healthy person.
Jiang Chuan could only reiterate his usual thought: he knew Sister Xun was amazing, but he didn’t know she was this amazing!
Su Jin and her team members were also dumbfounded.
They had never seen such a ridiculously powerful healing ability!
Now, they truly began to believe that Captain Lou could indeed be brought back to life.
Wang Peng’s voice trembled slightly with excitement.
“Sister Xun, is it still in time for me to cling to your thigh now?”
Chaoxun glanced at him.
“No.”
She had requirements for taking on servants.
Wang Peng almost wanted to throw a tantrum and roll on the floor, but he held himself back.
Withdrawing her spiritual energy, Chaoxun said to Yu Shun on the ground:
“You can stand up now.”
Hearing those words, Yu Shun was still in deep shock. He couldn’t see his own reflection, but he could sense the gazes of everyone around him.
Following that, he felt the long-lost, powerful heartbeat within his chest.
Yu Shun subconsciously moved, discovering that his limbs actually had sensation.
The corners of his lips twitched, and gradually, a silent smile spread across his face, though his gaze remained icy cold.
Yu Tao, I hope you are still alive.
Otherwise, how am I going to get my revenge?
Yu Shun moved his arms and legs. It had been a very long time since he had felt the sensation of being in control of his own body.
He carefully stood up, looking at the flesh that had grown back on his bones and his healthy body.
Once again, Yu Shun felt utterly shocked.
Was this really him?
He could actually become this healthy?!
The special ability of the lady before him was simply too powerful!
Chaoxun looked at Yu Shun’s face with satisfaction.
Not bad, he was quite good-looking.
He suited her aesthetic taste well enough.
“My surname is Chu, and my name is Chaoxun. Now that I have saved you, it is time for you to fulfill our transaction.”
Yu Shun lowered his head.
“Miss Chu, what can I do for you?”
The corners of Chaoxun’s lips curled up.
“I want your life.”
“But do not worry, I will not send you to your death.”
What she needed was a highly capable servant.
Yu Shun pondered her words for a moment, and then dropped to one knee.
“Miss, from now on, I am your person.”
His life was saved by Miss in the first place. If he hadn’t met her, he would probably be drawing his last breath right now, with no hope of ever getting his revenge.
He was willing to offer his life to Miss.
Chaoxun was very pleased with this.
“Very well, you are quite smart.”
As she spoke, a ray of golden light descended upon Yu Shun’s forehead.
The contract was sealed.
Chaoxun then asked him:
“What is your name, and how did you fall to the point of having your ability plundered?”
Plundering someone’s ability was equivalent to gouging out someone’s spiritual root in the Celestial Spirit Continent—it was a deep feud that one wouldn’t let go of even as a ghost.
Yu Shun did not hide anything and detailed the entire course of events.
Chaoxun raised her eyebrows.
“This Yu Tao is indeed quite ruthless.”
She then added:
“Since you are now my person, I will help you take your ability back.”
Hearing this, Yu Shun snapped his head up, looking at Chaoxun with immense excitement.
“Thank you, Miss.”
Could his special ability actually be returned to him?
Who exactly was Miss?
Why was she so formidable?
Standing to the side, Jiang Chuan looked a bit displeased.
What was going on? Was Sister Xun dissatisfied with his service?
Why did she recruit another lackey!
Yu Shun suddenly recalled something.
“By the way, Miss, Yu Tao is an incredibly arrogant man with skies-high ambitions. After he plundered my ability, he mentioned that once his ability leveled up to a sufficiently powerful stage, he would head to the Central Base. He wants to seize the entire base.”
Before Chaoxun could speak, Su Jin’s brow was already furrowed deep.
“What?! He wants to go to the Central Base!”
She then sneered, “What does he think the Central Base is? A place he can just seize whenever he wants? He truly doesn’t know the heights of the heavens!”
Chaoxun also knit her brow.
Not understanding why they reacted this way, Yu Shun asked:
“Miss, are you also heading to the Central Base?”
Jiang Chuan stepped forward at this moment, adopting the demeanor of an older brother figure as he explained to Yu Shun:
“Do you know who our Sister Xun is? She is the biological granddaughter of the Central Base’s commander-in-chief! A veritable young mistress!”
Yu Shun pressed his lips tight, once again astonished.
So Miss’s identity was so noble.
After a moment of thought, he spoke again: “Miss, Yu Tao is insidious and cunning, and he always gets what he wants. Moreover, at the very beginning of the apocalypse, he made contact with someone who possesses a corrosion ability. I worry that he is no longer acting alone, but has a whole group of people targeting the Central Base.”
