Boom!
A meteor fell on the silent Willow Mountain, waking the villagers sleeping at the foot of the mountain.
Holding Shangguan Ruolin tightly, Shu Han rolled dozens of feet down the hill, broke through three earth mounds, and smashed through dozens of big trees before finally stopping.
At this moment, apart from a small amount of magic power, there was nothing but boundless pain in Shu Han's body. This pain, from his viscera to his skin, from his body to his soul, every part of Shu Han was severely damaged. His only thought now was to lie quietly here, until the end of time.
However, Shangguan Ruolin, lying in his arms, suddenly inhaled at the lips blocking his mouth, and the Golden Core inside Shu Han returned to Shangguan Ruolin's body.
Shangguan Ruolin seemed a bit dazed at this time, but she struggled to sit up, resting on Shu Han's chest, her breasts rising and falling, panting heavily, her eyes coldly watching Shu Han.
Shu Han weakly said, "Senior, I was disrespectful just now, but I had no other choice."
However, Shangguan Ruolin's hand directly gripped his neck.
Shu Han became anxious, "No! No! Don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs!"
"Borrowing your magic power again!"
Shu Han suddenly choked, the last trace of magic power and the vital energy that kept him awake was instantly drained by Shangguan Ruolin.
"Senior, don't suck anymore..."
Suddenly, Shu Han passed out.
With a bit of magic power to support her, Shangguan Ruolin forcefully expelled her Golden Core.
At this time, the originally perfect Golden Core had tiny cracks, and even some damage, which caused Shangguan Ruolin to frown deeply.
"The original Golden Core was already deficient, and then forcefully borrowed this boy's cultivation to cast the Sky Palace Mysterious Secret, the backlash of the Golden Core is even more serious! It seems that this time, I must get the Heavenly Creation Fluid, otherwise even if I repair the Golden Core, my cultivation will probably stop here in this life."
She took a deep breath, felt the throbbing from the Golden Core, and couldn't help but glance into the distance.
"You are still tracking me! Sister, you're as clingy as when we were children!"
After speaking, Shangguan Ruolin formed seals with both hands and inscribed mysterious runes on her lifebound Golden Core. Every time she inscribed a rune, her spirit would become a bit dazed. In the end, she used the borrowed weak magic power to complete the sealing of her own Golden Core.
At this point, the Golden Core sensed by Shangguan Ruotong, who was flying from afar, suddenly disappeared. She stomped her foot in anger, "Sister, I didn't expect you still had the energy to cut off the connection between our Golden Cores. But you're so injured, you won't be able to hide for long!"
After sealing the Golden Core, the exhausted Shangguan Ruolin shrank back into a little girl. She panted heavily, her consciousness began to blur.
In her haziness, she looked at Shu Han's face, feeling both annoyed and ashamed. The memory of their recent full-body connection made her feel numb all over. This complex emotion lingered in her for a long time. If it were in the Sky Palace Sect, if a male cultivator dared to touch even a single hair on her head, he would have turned to dust long ago.
"Stinky boy! Wait till I recover my cultivation, then you'll see!"
After speaking, she also exhausted all her energy and collapsed into Shu Han's arms.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Shu Han woke up from his unconscious state. His body was still in severe pain, his meridians were all fractured, his magic power was empty, and it was difficult for his consciousness to leave his body.
However, he felt his physical body was in a warm environment. He opened his eyes and saw a familiar oil lamp. The dim, flickering flame seemed to pull him back to his own Shu Village from over a decade ago. He struggled to sit up and found a little boy's feet resting on him.
The little boy was reading a book next to the oil lamp. Seeing that Shu Han had woken up, he sniffled and called out, "Mom! Big Brother is awake!"
Immediately, a middle-aged woman rushed in from the curtain door.
Shu Han sat up, rubbed his head, and asked, "Where am I?"
The woman replied, "This is Zhang Village in Willow Mountain. Are you okay? A few days ago, I was picking wild vegetables on the slope and saw you lying there. Our village doctor said that you were seriously injured and wouldn't wake up for a month, how come you're awake now? Looking at you, you don't seem to be a farmer. Are you a scholar from the outside? How did you get injured so terribly on there? Did you encounter bandits?"
Shu Han suddenly remembered and immediately asked, "What about the other person? Where is she?"
"Oh, you mean that little girl? She's sleeping in my room."
Shu Han hurriedly got out of bed, limped out of the earthen house, and came to another room.
In this room, Shangguan Ruolin was quietly lying on the bed, dressed in a floral cotton gown.
"Senior!"
Shu Han was concerned, he picked up Shangguan Ruolin and gently shook her small shoulders.
Suddenly, Shangguan Ruolin opened her big eyes, coldly looking at Shu Han, "Stop shaking, I'm fine. As for you, it's about time you woke up, you were out for so long, useless indeed."
"Oh! This girl is awake too!"
The woman who had followed him leaned against the door, joyfully saying.
Shu Han was speechless, and whispered, "Senior, you've been pretending to be unconscious?"
"Yes, I don't know how to deal with these ordinary people. Every day, they're feeding me bitter medicine, if you didn't wake up I would've run away on my own."
Shu Han relaxed and laughed.
However, Shangguan Ruolin still said coldly, "Have you had enough of holding me?"
Shu Han shivered and quickly stood up.
The woman laughed and asked, "You two are alright, that's good. What's your relationship?"
Scratching his head, Shu Han replied, "Thank you, madam, for your help. My name is Shu Han, and she is my sister Shu Lin. We were originally going to Green Mountain Town to visit relatives, but we got lost. Right... Linlin..."
Shu Han turned his head to give Shangguan Ruolin a look but found Shangguan Ruolin's eyes were almost murderous.
In the end, Shangguan Ruolin relented and said indifferently, "Yes, he is my brother, and I am Shu Lin."
Shu Han: ...
The woman was stunned, then laughed, "You really are kids from the town. You speak differently from us village farmers."
"Well, you two siblings woke up with such difficulty, why not sleep in my son's room together? Hey, boy, come sleep with Mom, give your room to Big Brother!"
So, Shu Han and Shangguan Ruolin ended up sharing a bed.
Standing on the bed, Shangguan Ruolin, in her small body, looked at her brightly colored gown, her face full of disdain. "What kind of bizarre taste is this? When have I ever worn such tasteless clothing?"
Then, she looked at Shu Han and asked, "Kid, how's your recovery from your injuries? When can we leave?"
Just as Shu Han was about to say something, a small foot kicked at him. Shangguan Ruolin said, "Get off first, who gave you the courage to get on my bed?"
Shu Han really wanted to roll his eyes, but he dared not, so he said, "Senior, my injuries this time are severe, my Dantian is damaged, and my meridians are cracked. I'm afraid it may be hard to restore my normal cultivation for a while."
Shangguan Ruolin said, "This is the side effect of the Sky Palace Mysterious Secret. Although it can boost overall strength in a short time, the lingering side effects also take a long time to dissipate. Others who use this secret technique are either injured or crippled. But this time you got lucky, you could say it was a blessing in disguise."
"What do you mean by that, senior? I'm almost a cripple."
Shangguan Ruolin sighed, "The fragments of my Golden Core should still be in your body. Isn't that a blessing in disguise?"
Golden Core fragments?
Boom!
