Chapter 767: The Affectionate Hou Jingwu_1
Moreover, looking at Die Wu’s soul, listless and having lost a part, one can imagine the extent of the trauma she must have suffered originally. Recovery would be even harder, unless she relied on elixirs that heal the soul.
At this thought, Ye Luo’s eyes brightened. He suddenly recalled that he had on his person the Huang-ranked Ninth Rank Elixir, Soul Condensing Pills, suited for healing the soul. Hadn’t his own soul damage been rapidly healed before? Perhaps it might be useful to this girl.
"Mr. Ye, my father invites you to come in!"
At this moment, Hou Yaoyue walked out and, with a smile, said to Ye Luo.
"Alright," Ye Luo responded, glancing a few times at this woman full of mature charm. Hou Yaoyue must have been at least thirty-five or thirty-six, but her maintenance was truly remarkable, making her appear not a day over thirty, with smooth, delicate skin and dressed in a cheongsam, exhibiting an elegant and graceful bearing.
As Hou Yaoyue noticed Ye Luo’s eyes upon her, a hint of flirtation flashed in her eyes as she looked back at him, leaving Ye Luo somewhat embarrassed. He quickly went inside, while Hou Yaoyue’s soft laughter followed.
"Lord Hou!"
Ye Luo walked into the room and, coming to the bedside, spoke to Hou Xiangguo.
"Little Ye, I really owe you a lot this time. If it weren’t for you, this old man’s life might have been lost to that shrapnel, and you have become a true savior to the Hou Family," Hou Xiangguo said gratefully.
Hou Yaoyang and Hou Yaochen looked at Ye Luo with grateful eyes as well.
"There’s no need for such words. After all, Lord Hou, you are one of Huaxia’s founding heroes. You’ve given so much for our country, and naturally, I couldn’t stand by and see such a national hero lose his life to a piece of shrapnel. That would be a loss for our country," Ye Luo said with a righteous expression.
"Haha!" Hou Xiangguo laughed heartily. "Little Ye, you sure have a way with words. Nevertheless, from now on, you are the most honored guest of the Hou Family," he said.
