MD Ch3 Part 4

Hearing my voice, 78a5763c9a Song Qiyuan turned 29f399dfab to face me. I knew he was b995af17cb blind, but the way e477b31cf0 he looked directly at 1acdaa9e34 me was unnerving. He nodded slightly ca27313d1f and offered a f365a6c91b weak smile.0899fb905d156d55

“Understood.”1244f1ccde46a17b

But the moment 59c7515868 he finished speaking, 54b252f343 his eyebrows furrowed, 2d74f9c042 and sweat beaded c78fcc6944 on his forehead. He pressed c1dfe4c77d his lips 4fad0e7a53 together, as 2942274af7 if enduring 6d13a10a5e great pain. Unable to hold it 224056502f in any longer, he 1e2377aab7 suddenly vomited a mouthful 0dc67f286b of dark red blood.519d5d1024142cce

Only then did I 2b9a5567b8 realize the extent of e19098500a his injuries. I quickly reached out 31379ca675 and pressed on his 93cf5f4e72 pulse points. His meridians 1a582bbe1d were severely 5e939684db damaged. Examining his internal condition, eea50bba91 it seemed his organs 5c5d5e4279 had been twisted and 50387c9e99 mangled by the immense 7125d3d938 water pressure from the abc19c93e4 fall. A sharp pain b40acfa360 stabbed at my 121228a23d chest, and my 8cebf84655 stomach churned.dba079b0f820886f

I hurriedly retrieved a small golden cauldron from my spatial storage. Inside, I maintained a temperature identical to that of the Nine-Wheeled Blazing Sun Land. The Reincarnation Fruit had to be consumed within ten days of being plucked, and it required a specific environment to preserve its potency. Previously, I stored it within Ah Jiu’s internal space, protected by a gentle heat. However, after finding this special cauldron, I always carried it with me, as it not only preserved the fruit’s warmth but also its spiritual energy.20782c39f39bcfc2

Opening the lid, 8fee89ede7 the spiritual energy 25968f44af emanating from the a700a389ef Reincarnation Fruit, its cbe86435dd surface shimmering with 52f3f2c62d fiery patterns, seemed 9b1bb70dfc slightly weaker than e8b3eac913 before. Ah Jiu, who was eacfde64ba guarding the door, started 79f26737b6 banging furiously, yelling inside.7973792e5ca94a5f

“As expected! I knew it! You’re too much, Lord! You’re actually feeding the fruit I worked so hard to get to that brat! Argh! This is infuriating!!”ce8e84f00b5f779c

Guilt-stricken, I ignored Ah Jiu’s outburst. He complained a lot, but he wouldn’t do anything drastic.7105d284a009a3b3

Calming myself, I channeled sharp streams of profound energy from my index and middle fingers. Combining this with my honed fruit-cutting skills, I sliced the Reincarnation Fruit into countless fine threads. I spread them out inside the cauldron; it was fascinating how they didn’t evaporate even under the high temperature.10a492e6d840f5bc

“Listen carefully, Song Qiyuan. I will save you with this method. The effects of the Reincarnation Fruit are extremely potent, and it will be very painful. I will stay here and watch over you. You must endure it.”167258169c9385e9

Why did this c99913e7c4 child suddenly seem 910ec1f4f6 so mature? He was incredibly 87344cfebf endearing. The gruesome 16cc744ccd sight of eff3e8b64e blood on ece6435664 his lips 20dd0cc89c felt strangely 8b43d76567 familiar.4829c81c5c763599

Seeing him obey so readily made my heart flutter. When writing this scene, I had used a typical fantasy trope: the protagonist experiencing excruciating pain after consuming the Reincarnation Fruit – The dense spiritual energy clashed violently within his body, threatening to tear his frail form apart. Something like that…73c51d2b88f43c8a

Swallowing nervously, I carefully 14e387dec9 picked up the thread-like cc1bbb685b pieces of the Reincarnation 473e2851e1 Fruit and slowly fed 9b55582b4f them into his mouth. After about ten strands, 22b8d2580a I stopped and cautiously 22d0bb01bb observed his reaction.5e3751ff983e3504

The moment the 8b5fd53fef fruit entered his 4555de407a mouth, he closed 28a8c111f1 it tightly. His face flushed fb350facf8 crimson, indicating the d3dd676343 turmoil within his 1450e05dc9 body. As I a7b9f34c48 leaned closer 70856a01b1 to support 32b1498a9f him, I a21ffc41b9 met his ac38d4baa5 eyes, bloodshot 6c86478a40 and filled b1c8734157 with pain.

Yes, this f238d9ba80 was the 0cc5f703dd protagonist I 420e04f06f had created. Strong, resilient, fa57742b72 unyielding, overcoming 59a24728a0 all hardships.

Adversity forged strength, 5095f6e5dd and Song Qiyuan a360413e16 would undoubtedly become 05d34b8509 strong.

This child felt different from the Song Qiyuan I had seen in the cage. He still possessed a youthful charm, but he had matured within half a day. I didn’t like this rapid growth. It suited him better to act spoiled and childish.dcf71e92c46f768d

The caged Song Qiyuan c7783877ff occasionally showed weakness, but a264d1343c the current Song Qiyuan af2021db47 was devoid of such 12dd3c7623 vulnerability; he was much 695bee256d more composed.be04232688b50d11

The boy was experiencing his first true hardship. I watched intently as sweat beaded on his flushed face, my heart aching for him, yet marveling at his endurance. From the beginning until now, he hadn’t uttered a single cry. The only sounds in the quiet room were his ragged breathing and the frantic beating of my own heart.2d8d5eecebac7ecb

Judging by his physical and mental state, he seemed capable of absorbing more of the Reincarnation Fruit’s potency. And so, I uttered the words that would later fill me with regret.cc7a67d4634ad280

“Then let’s continue. The absorption rate is highest when the Reincarnation Fruit’s potency is at its peak. You should be able to recover most of the damage Yu Ke inflicted on your limbs.”3dee8b81ddbbcc03

Saying my own name aloud felt incredibly awkward. The boy stiffened when he heard the words “Yu Ke,” then nodded silently in agreement.110a1d9b4f3e8e39

I hadn’t anticipated this. I had been too hasty. I had underestimated his injuries and overestimated his body’s capacity.d5b390e7da500c27

Rushing to his side, I grasped his wrist. His body was burning hot, but fortunately, his breathing was steady, and his bodily functions seemed normal. It wasn’t an irreversible disaster. The sight that had terrified me was simply him falling asleep. Yes, that was it. His breathing confirmed that he was asleep. He was so deeply asleep that his body had gone completely limp. It wouldn’t be good for him to be forcefully awakened.b756b6dbe206c8ee

Sleep would allow his body to relax and absorb the medicine more effectively. This slumber was a fortuitous opportunity for him. He wouldn’t feel the pain or the itching in his bones and marrow while asleep; he would be much more comfortable.79bf0a59cacff4b1

My only concern 8ffad4a7bf was that I ed4087e98c had no idea 37d4da0b5c when he would d7ad899ded wake up.
