Chapter 666: Divine Healing
As Elder You watched, a young man walked over to Jiang Chen, knelt, and gently lifted him.
At that moment, Elder You shuddered violently.
‘A Martial Emperor Expert… is just one of Jiang Chen’s servants?’
Then, the bearded man spoke.
“Sir, I’m sorry. We were a step too late.”
“But we will avenge you.”
They could all tell that while Jiang Chen wasn’t dead, his injuries were severe.
Elder You trembled again.
‘Sir… even Martial Emperor Experts call Jiang Chen “Sir.”‘
‘He couldn’t believe it. Just how terrifying was Jiang Chen’s background?’
‘It seems I misjudged my opponent.’
‘Coming here was a huge mistake.’
‘Is there still a chance to escape?’
CRACK!
Flame Dragon stepped forward. With a flick of his large hand, he gave a vicious twist.
On the spot, Elder You’s head rolled from his neck like a ball.
He tossed the corpse to the ground.
Flame Dragon and Black Fire Crow hurried to Jiang Chen’s side.
「In a room within a new courtyard.」
Everyone was gathered around the bed.
Jiang Chen lay on the bed, unconscious.
Mr. Qiu Shui sighed. “His injuries are severe. If we rely on his natural healing, the external wounds alone would take more than half a year to recover.”
“All the Elixirs are on Sir’s person. We can’t give him the ones he refined himself.”
Flame Dragon, Black Fire Crow, and Xiaotian all blamed themselves.
Clearly, they had arrived too late.
But it was a miracle that Jiang Chen had managed to survive this long against a Martial Arts Sect Eighth Heaven expert.
“Daddy…”
Little Xixi looked at the unconscious Jiang Chen, tears streaming endlessly down her face.
Then, Little Xixi suddenly declared, “I’m going to save my daddy.”
Xiaotian’s brow furrowed slightly.
“And how will you do that?”
Little Xixi paid them no mind. With a few hops on her short legs, she scrambled onto the bed.
She sat down next to Jiang Chen’s head.
With a sad look on her face, she mumbled two words.
“Divine Healing!”
At that same moment, a strange, milky-white light began to radiate from Little Xixi’s body in pulsing rings.
It gave Little Xixi a sacred, holy appearance.
The moment the light appeared, the entire room was instantly filled with the aura of life.
Mr. Qiu Shui and the others stared at Little Xixi, utterly stunned.
Little Xixi gritted her teeth. It was clear that releasing the milky-white light was taking a great toll on her.
But Little Xixi pushed on, heedless of the cost.
She gathered the milky-white light into her hands.
Then, her tiny palms slowly descended onto Jiang Chen’s body.
Urged on by Little Xixi, the milky-white light flowed into Jiang Chen’s body and was absorbed.
However, as she channeled the light, Little Xixi’s small face began to grow pale.
Her body trembled slightly.
Channeling the light seemed to be an immense strain on her.
But Little Xixi persisted, desperately pouring the milky-white light into Jiang Chen.
The moment the milky-white light entered his body, Jiang Chen’s wounds began to mend at an astonishing, visible rate.
It was no less effective than the regenerative abilities of the Corpse Heart Insect.
The regenerative power of the Corpse Heart Insect in Jiang Chen’s body had all but dissipated.
Therefore, it could no longer help him.
But now, as Little Xixi’s light poured in, Jiang Chen’s injuries healed at a visible speed.
This was true for both his internal and external wounds.
Mr. Qiu Shui and the others were dumbfounded.
They were frozen in astonishment, unable to believe that the seemingly ordinary Little Xixi could unleash such a powerful Divine Technique.
WHOOSH!
Little Xixi’s face grew paler still.
Already frail, she looked like she was on the verge of collapse. Her tiny, trembling frame was a heartbreaking sight.
But there was nothing Mr. Qiu Shui or the others could do to help.
HUFF!
Finally, Little Xixi stopped. The milky-white light dissipated completely.
Then, her eyes hazy, she glanced at Jiang Chen.
She whispered, “Daddy, don’t leave Xixi…”
Then, with a tilt of her head, Little Xixi collapsed onto the bed, unconscious.
Mr. Qiu Shui quickly checked on her. “She’s just unconscious,” he said. “It seems to be from overexertion.”
Still, they were astonished by the light Little Xixi had just unleashed.
They waited. Some time after Little Xixi fell unconscious, Jiang Chen slowly began to stir.
“Sir, you’re awake.”
“Master…”
All eyes turned to Jiang Chen. Even Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao, who were still recovering from their own injuries, had gathered at his bedside.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes. He felt a pleasant, warm sensation spreading through his body.
He checked himself over. His injuries were completely gone, as if he had never been hurt in the first place.
“This…”
Stunned, he sat up in bed.
He asked in astonishment, “What happened?”
“How did I recover so quickly?”
He could tell that not much time had passed.
His injuries had been severe, so to recover in such a short time was astounding.
Everyone’s gaze fell on Little Xixi, who lay unconscious on the bed.
Mr. Qiu Shui then recounted the events.
“It was Little Xixi. She suddenly released a milky-white light, and you were healed.”
“Sir…”
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment.
‘In tonight’s battle,’ he reflected, ‘I used nearly every trick I had, and I still couldn’t defeat Elder You.’
‘Now that Mr. Qiu Shui and the others are here, I don’t even have to ask what happened to Elder You.’
But the real surprise was Little Xixi.
He looked at Little Xixi.
At this moment, Little Xixi was unconscious and looked frail.
‘Little Xixi’s appearance was so unusual. It was as if she’d just materialized at my side.’
‘Calling me “Daddy.”‘
‘And now, she’s saved my life.’
Based on what Mr. Qiu Shui and the others had described, Jiang Chen looked at Little Xixi.
‘It completely confirms my suspicion.’
‘She really is that fallen Angel.’
Jiang Chen didn’t know how an Angel could have fallen from the Upper Realm, but seeing that she had just saved him, he could imagine how much of a toll it had taken on her.
‘It didn’t matter how Little Xixi got here or why she was by his side. None of that was important now. All I want is for her to wake up soon.’
Moreover, Jiang Chen swore to himself that he would protect Little Xixi.
Jiang Chen took out his Elixirs, giving a generous portion to Mr. Qiu Shui and the others.
He also gave Elixirs to Mr. Jiao and Xiao Jun to help them recover from their injuries.
He regulated his own energy while watching over Little Xixi, waiting for her to awaken.
However, it didn’t look like Little Xixi would be waking up anytime soon, and there was nothing Jiang Chen could do to help.
Seeing her frail state, Jiang Chen’s heart ached for her.
He reached out and gently caressed Little Xixi’s cheek.
He then sat beside her, holding a stone that glowed with a white light.
It was the Bright Stone that Elder You had been holding. With Elder You dead, his possessions had naturally fallen into Jiang Chen’s hands.
‘This Bright Stone is obviously connected to Xixi’s origins.’
As he was examining it,
Jiang Chen suddenly noticed wisps of white light strangely drifting out of the Bright Stone, landing on Little Xixi, and being absorbed into her body.
“Huh?”
“What is this?”
