Chapter 226: Recovering And Slight Respite
The first was a Basic Healing Spirit Pill—glassy green, infused with restorative qi.
The second was a Skin Mending Pill, a crimson-red medicine Li Mei had sworn was "excellent for superficial trauma."
The third was a pale golden Vitality Restoration Pill, more expensive than the others, meant to replenish the Vital energy of the body. He had hoarded these, knowing they were priceless.
They were gifts from Li Mei, which meant they either worked spectacularly—or had a chance to grow extra limbs.
Han Yu laughed bitterly. "If I grow a tail, I’ll just pretend it’s a spiritual treasure or effect of some hidden bloodline."
He swallowed the pills all at once, grimacing at the bitter taste.
A few seconds later, warmth blossomed in his chest, flowing through his veins like melted sunlight. His skin began to tighten as burns began to mend slowly. The internal shaking in his muscles began to still. He could feel vitality trickling back into him—a thimble of strength in a drained ocean.
Not enough to fight.
Enough to survive.
After forcing himself to sit upright, Han Yu looked around and spotted a narrow crevice just a few paces away. It wasn’t ideal—just a crack between volcanic outcroppings—but it was narrow enough to hide his body and deep enough to shield him from beastly eyes.
He crawled into it with a grunt, curling into himself like a child hiding from a storm. The stone was warm, but not scalding.
