Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 208 - They Have Arrived

Physician Gan nodded his head before he accepted some paper and a pen, and wrote down a list of herbs and the method of brewing them together into a medical concoction.

"Consume this medicine for two months, and your body should be completely nurtured. The time frame I have given you might not be accurate. The time is based on my knowledge of mortals, and as a cultivator, there is a chance that your body might heal swifter. On the other hand, there is also a chance that the body might take a longer time to condition itself, as it is already much stronger than that of mortals, and if so, you just have to continue consuming this medicine.

"The medicinal concoction I have introduced to you is not harmful in any way. It can be consumed even by a healthy person, and will only help ensure that one’s body does not deteriorate."

Bai Rouyun nodded her head as she felt much better. Conditioning with medicine like this would be the best solution, and they were likely to stay within the Blue Water Institute for the next two months anyway, so it would not delay their plans.

Dongfang Yu was feeling rather unreal. As he had said farewell to the other members of the Saintly Cloud Sect, he had already accepted his death, but Bai Rouyun had changed everything around, and given him a chance for survival.

Things had turned around so suddenly, without any chance to sit down and understand it. Although he was somewhat optimistic, and his mind was spinning fast, he had never expected things to develop in this direction. Hence he was very surprised.

If it were Li Moyun who had done this, then Dongfang Yu would not be too surprised, but from the beginning to the end, the Eternal Shadow Lord had merely stayed by Bai Rouyun’s side, not doing anything special.

Physician Gan left as soon as he had given the paper back to Mo Chu, and had received a handsome pay for his time and effort.

Initially, this elderly physician had not thought that he would be able to gain any reward, but upon looking at the treasures within his hands, he was stunned.

Even so, he did not return the rewards. He had indeed done what was expected of him, and it was only natural that he accepted his pay.

As he was led out, Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun also withdrew to their bedroom. Xiao Long was by their side, and he seemed as if there was something urgent he needed to discuss with them.

Dongfang Yu did not care much about their departure. He also needed some time to truly understand the changes that had happened to him these past few days.

Mo Chu politely led him to a room where he could rest. It was not too close to the bedroom where Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun lived, but it was still on the same floor.

Mo Chu also retreated to his own room, and the mansion descended into silence. While it seemed as if there was no one around, every corner was filled to the brim with the shadow guards who protected their home.

"What happened with Xiao Long?" As soon as they closed the door behind them, the soft voice of Bai Rouyun was heard. She turned around and looked at Li Moyun with some worry within her eyes.

Li Moyun was also worried as he saw the little dragon in a state of worry. After sitting down on the bed and holding the curled up dragon in his hands, Li Moyun tried to understand what was going on.

It did not take long before his eyes turned solemn, and his lips tightened.

"Xiao Long has sensed the presence of some seniors from the Golden Dragon Clan. They have entered the continent, and they are likely to reach this place soon. I plan on taking this little fellow away from Canglan City for some time to deal with this. This is not a suitable place to confront the dragon race."

Li Moyun turned around and looked at Bai Rouyun with a gleam of fear in his eyes. "I should be able to survive this meeting, but you cannot be involved. You do not have any way of controlling your Qi right now, and coming with us will only put you in danger. Although it is risky now, I will be much more relaxed knowing that you are not in danger, so stay here, and be safe."

Bai Rouyun naturally understood Li Moyun’s worries, but she still felt depressed, and her heart could not calm down. It was not only him who was worried about her, but she also worried about him. While his strength was a force to be reckoned with within this continent, it might not even be able to stand the slightest touch of those members from the Golden Dragon Clan.

It was not that Bai Rouyun looked down on her man, but she understood the difference between the continents. It was not a question about talent nor skills; it was merely a question about his circumstances.

He lived in a prison continent, so it was natural that his advance could not be compared to that of other experts from the outside world, but this made neither Li Moyun nor Bai Rouyun despair.

Their eyes were full of longing for a broader world, to become the phoenix and dragon that soared into the skies above.

"I know you are worried about me," Li Moyun said, as he looked at the clear emotions within Bai Rouyun’s eyes. He understood her feelings, but he was not able to let her take the risk in her current situation.

Bai Rouyun was also reasonable enough. She knew that she was currently not fit for such tasks, and she could only sigh as she promised to train even harder, and get her body back to the right state as soon as possible.
