Generally speaking, good news and bad news often come together; fortune doesn't come in pairs, and misfortune never travels alone. Ren Feng had encountered this countless times. Isn't this always the way it goes on television?
According to convention, the protagonist in TV shows would choose to hear the bad news first since the good news coming afterward always brings a sense of delight.
So, Ren Feng said, "Let's hear the good news first."
Because he has always been someone different from others.
Long Yue said expressionlessly, "The bad news is, Purple Thorn is still alive."
Ren Feng rolled his eyes, "Didn't I say I wanted to hear the good news first?"
"I say what I want, when I want." Long Yue grabbed one of the fruits nearby without hesitation. "Are you not surprised by this news?"
"What's there to be surprised about?" Ren Feng's face remained calm. "I'm more surprised that you've identified her identity?"
Long Yue wrinkled her elegant nose, "You're underestimating our Dragon group. The remaining body and some information from the scene were enough to trace it."
Ren Feng nodded, "So, what's the good news?"
"The good news is she's already fled Huaxia Realm, so you won't be in danger for now."
"That's bad news for me." Ren Feng frowned.
This time, Purple Thorn's scheme was indeed insidious, a series of conspiracies and traps almost caught Ren Feng off guard.
Especially this last time, using Xia Wenxue as a threat, this had already put Ren Feng on high alert. Moreover, the feud between him and Purple Thorn was absolutely relentless, and although she escaped abroad, she's definitely plotting against him.
Long Yue said indifferently, "This person is already under our Dragon group's surveillance. If she enters the country, we'll be aware."
Ren Feng nodded, but internally remained vigilant. Purple Thorn possesses Disguise Skill; getting in would be fairly easy, it seems he still needs to prepare himself.
"Rest for these days, contact me if there's anything." Long Yue stood up.
"I happen to have one more thing." Ren Feng looked somewhat sheepish.
"Speak."
Long Yue appeared rather cold.
"Look, you've saved me so many times now. If I don't express something, I really feel uneasy." Ren Feng's face was full of seriousness and shyness, "Yueyue, do you lack a man, the kind with great ability and stamina? What do you think of me?"
Looking at Ren Feng's sincere expression, Long Yue was taken aback. After recovering, she swiftly swung her long, taut leg toward Ren Feng!
"Ouch, Yueyue, I'm serious, it's free, no fees, guaranteed satisfaction." Ren Feng laughed oddly, making Long Yue's face blush, and she snorted heavily.
This person is so unruly, he must be taught a good lesson.
That long beautiful leg came crashing down; Ren Feng was sitting on the bed, raised his hands to block, just as he was about to exert force, his True Qi within was completely gone.
Bang!
Damn, are you kidding?
Ren Feng was slightly stunned when that leg hit him, knocking him back to lie on the bed.
Long Yue retracted her beautiful leg, looking smug and coldly swept her eyes around, those speechless patients all turned their heads.
Good grief, this woman is too violent, it hurts just to watch that kick.
Watching Long Yue swing her long legs leaving the ward, Ren Feng smiled bitterly inside, damn, the joke went too far, who would've thought his True Qi would disappear.
But why is Long Yue so dull, getting so angry over a joke, Ren Feng shook his head, unlike Liou Rumei, who wouldn't get angry and would even tease you back.
Once Long Yue left, Ren Feng started probing his own physical condition.
When he investigated, he felt quite surprised because his body wasn't as bad as he imagined; on the contrary, the condition was even better than before.
Except for the True Qi not recovering due to excessive depletion, all other wounds or toxins had disappeared completely.
Ren Feng raised his right hand, pulled up his clothes, looked at the wound area, somewhat astonished: the chest had no wound, instead, it was perfectly smooth.
What's going on?
Ren Feng had some doubts in his eyes. He clearly remembered stabbing himself with the dagger; why was there no wound?
He operated his Cultivation Technique, and suddenly found the meridians were more spacious than before; vaguely, his Cultivation Technique seemed more skillful and refined. Even though he had reversed his True Qi earlier, he didn't see any damage.
Ren Feng's eyes grew increasingly puzzled; he remembered clearly, that night he was poisoned and reversed his True Qi, making his injuries quite severe, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was covered in wounds.
Yet now, there's no trace of injury at all.
Ren Feng began recalling the situation from that night: he had entered the same, mysterious state as before, as if his whole body was filled with power, not even able to feel pain.
Moreover, at that time, a warm current washed his meridians, and it seemed like the toxins disappeared during that time.
Could it really be the case?
Ren Feng pondered more and more that this must be the way; the last time, after entering that state, he unexpectedly found his True Qi circulation smoother, and even developed a penetrating vision ability.
This time, all the wounds seemed to heal rapidly; compared to normal people, his self-healing ability reached a very powerful level.
Nine Yang Tribulation, Nine Yang Tribulation indeed isn't entirely useless.
Ren Feng mocked himself; didn't expect that during the critical moments, he relied on this disease that could take his life at any time to survive.
However, after entering that state, Ren Feng felt his power surged, surged to a terrifying degree.
He could sense the presence and actions of people around him; his senses and strength greatly enhanced, even stronger than his peak before.
However, this state's aftermath was quite scary, complete exhaustion and fainting; if it weren't for him gritting his teeth to get Xia Wenxue out, he might've died there.
Ren Feng pondered quietly, wondering if this berserk state could be controlled.
He tried to awaken the warmth inside but to no avail, able to control only a little bit of just-recovered True Qi within.
After trying several times, Ren Feng found it useless; it seems that state isn't under his control, and every time it appears, it accompanies a terrifying high temperature; if he can't endure it, he might be finished.
Mysteriously, Ren Feng recalled the scene he had seen earlier while unconscious, those nine towering red mountain peaks, the red divine dragon soaring in the sky, it seemed he had seen it somewhere vaguely.
Where exactly?
He frowned and thought for a while, suddenly recalling, during his first time unconscious, he had seen the same scene.
It's just that time couldn't be seen clearly, only vaguely feeling surrounded by a fiery red color.
Ren Feng pondered, could that scene be related to the Nine Yang Tribulation? The old man said he was lucky to have passed the first tribulation, and then a dragon flew out?
He shook his head, these things were still unclear, it's a pity there are too few people with the Nine Yang Body.
That day, Ren Feng lay on the hospital bed, circulating his True Qi, trying to recover his strength.
That pretty nurse girl didn't seem to come, which made Ren Feng a bit sad.
Meanwhile, in Europe, Turkey.
A woman wearing a black hoodie walked in the alley, a group of teenagers approached her.
"Hey, André, look at that old witch ahead, she's so ugly."
A young man nudged the guy next to him with his elbow, eyes full of mockery, even whistled at the approaching woman.
"Oh my God, this woman must have offended the devil to turn out like this." The person next to him gasped.
"Hey, old hag, this isn't a place for you, can't you roll back into your shabby house and stop scaring people?" The third young man said with extreme discontent.
The alley was extremely narrow, and the three youths purposely blocked the way.
The woman, as if not hearing, walked forward.
"Old hag, didn't you hear me?" the blond young man shouted forward, but suddenly, the woman lifted her head, a cold light flashing in her eyes, and an overwhelming murderous intent burst forth.
Feeling the change in the woman's aura, the three young men were suddenly startled.
"Old hag, what do you want to do?"
"Kill."
With a feeling of unbearable aggression, at the moment of speaking, with a flick of her wrist, the spiked whip flew out like a snake, instantly entangling all three of them.
Before the three could speak, she flicked her right hand, and the three were thrown to the ground, their throats severed one after the other.
Looking at the three dead young men on the ground, the murderous intent on the woman's face did not disappear, her originally beautiful face became hideously ugly.
The entire face looked like it had been soaked in water and then ironed out, full of wrinkles, the right side of the face sagging, the nose and lips skewed to the left, asymmetrical and horrifically ugly.
"I think compared to life, this little side effect can be ignored."
The person's words still echoed in her mind, her eyes filled with anger, she shouted fiercely, "Ren Feng, I want to kill you!"
...
Ren Feng had no idea that someone far away was thinking about him. At this moment, he lay on the hospital bed, looking at Yu Qingquan who came for the routine check-up, he couldn't help but feel a bit happy.
"Temperature, normal."
"Heartbeat, normal."
Yu Qingquan was meticulously recording, but she could feel Ren Feng's gaze tightly fixed on her, making her heartbeat speed up and her face turn slightly red against her will.
Recalling the question Ren Feng whispered to her that morning, Yu Qingquan couldn't help but feel shy.
Soon, the check-up was over, and Yu Qingquan was about to leave, when Ren Feng suddenly exclaimed, "Ouch."
"What's wrong?"
Yu Qingquan turned back to see Ren Feng lying on the bed with a face full of pain.
"I, I..."
Ren Feng pointed to his body and couldn't say anything due to "pain".
At this, Yu Qingquan became a bit flustered and hurriedly came up to check.
"What's wrong with you?"
Ren Feng secretly opened his eyes, saw Yu Qingquan approaching, and quickly closed them again.
"I, it hurts."
"Where does it hurt?"
Yu Qingquan asked anxiously.
"I hurt below." Ren Feng pointed to his lower body.
Below hurts?
Yu Qingquan was puzzled; it shouldn't be, the patient was normal below when sent in, without any other symptoms.
The pure Yu Qingquan had no other thoughts but asked Ren Feng to describe the pain.
"I, it hurts so much I'm numb, maybe, you should check it for me." Ren Feng looked pained.
Numb with pain?
Yu Qingquan was even more puzzled, how could pain make one numb?
But out of good professionalism, Yu Qingquan began to check with her equipment.
Watching Yu Qingquan seriously inspect his lower body, Ren Feng just felt a rush of evil pleasure.
Why did it feel like a mischievous uncle tricking a pure little girl?
Isn't Yu Qingquan too innocent?
After a while of checking, Yu Qingquan said to Ren Feng, "You're wearing pants, it's a bit inconvenient to check, you'll need to take them off for a thorough examination."
Damn, really?
Ren Feng was a bit dumbfounded.
"Specifically where does it hurt?"
Yu Qingquan looked seriously at Ren Feng.
Ren Feng gritted his teeth, pointed to his huge "thing," and said, "Right there!"
