Fang Yu patted the dust off his body and walked out with a dust-covered face.
Behind him, there was nothing but ruins.
The moment Ye Renyu triggered the explosion of his Qi Sea, Fang Yu had activated the Dragon Trace Sacred Armor to its maximum and summoned the Divine Dragon to wrap around his entire body, resisting all damage.
Although he had managed to avoid harm, he hadn't blocked the dust with his Primordial Qi in time, leaving him in quite a disheveled state.
It wasn't until Fang Yu reached the edge of the ruins that he looked up at the sky and sighed:
"It looks like I need to change my over-reliance on external items as soon as possible. If something like this happens again... there's no guarantee that I won't lose my life."
The inability to summon the Dragon Roar Sword was something Fang Yu always kept in mind.
It was a clear sign that relying solely on one thing could easily lead to problems.
...
Fang Yu glanced back and quickly returned to the Fang Family.
Outside the Fang Family's gates.
Fang Yu had just returned when he heard voices discussing at the courtyard entrance—
"The girl's probably beyond saving... The only hope to save her is for Mr. Fang to return!"
"Alas, Mr. Fang is like the Divine Dragon—you see his head but not his tail; who knows when he'll come back. It's too late to take the girl to the hospital now!"
"What should we do then? Shall we ask Doctor Ping to take a look? Doctor Ping just returned to the Taia Sect yesterday, saying he'd need to bring back some herbs to be able to help at the Fang Family. Besides, most of the time he's up in Tiandu Mountain. He doesn't have time to save people!"
"What about Doctor Song Gusheng?"
"After all, Doctor Song isn't one of us from the Fang Family. He has his own Ancient Life Hall to run. I've heard that since reuniting with his daughter, he's been trying to improve his relationship with Sect Master Bai Ze Tuoba Yong. He won't have the time to come here."
"It seems like bad luck for the girl; I bet if she's not saved in a few minutes, she'll really be dead."
Listening to the discussion.
Fang Yu walked straight in.
Upon arriving at the entrance.
Through the light coming from the hall, Fang Yu saw a stretcher in the courtyard, on which a girl in her twenties was lying. She had snow-white skin, jet-black hair, and a gruesomely large hole in her chest that looked horrifying.
Her entire abdomen was soaked in blood.
While the people of the Fang Family were pacing back and forth in concern, seeing Fang Yu return, they all showed excited and surprised expressions.
"Mr. Fang!"
"It's Mr. Fang!"
"Thank goodness, Mr. Fang, your return is so timely. Please, you must hurry and save this girl."
Standing at the entrance were Ye Wenjun, Xu Sisi, and others.
They weren't as anxious as the other young members of the Fang Family, but the concern in their eyes made it clear they too wanted to save the girl.
Fang Yu's gaze fell upon the girl and he said: "Bring her inside!"
"Yes!"
Soon, the girl was placed inside the hall.
Under the light.
Everything could be clearly seen.
The girl's eyes were tightly closed, unconscious.
It was then Fang Yu asked: "Where did she come from?"
"Mr. Fang, could you save her first, it's a matter of life and death!" Xu Sisi urged from the side.
Xu Sisi was naturally kind-hearted, and seeing a girl of similar age suffering such a grave injury, she certainly couldn't bear it.
Fang Yu nodded and said:
"Don't worry, as long as I've seen her, she won't die. But before I save her, I must first understand her identity."
Everyone nodded at this.
"Today, when I returned, I just happened to bump into her at the door. I saw her carrying a vegetable basket and clutching her chest... so I hurried to help her. But she fainted soon after. Looking closer, I don't think the injury was caused by a human. It's more likely to be from a beast," said Xu Sisi.
"A beast?" someone questioned with uncertainty.
Fang Yu nodded and explained, "It must be a monster that escaped from a secret realm and hurt her... But these days, with the resurgence of spiritual energy, ordinary people have robust bodies, some even undergo mutations and evolve. So it's unlikely that she'd be wounded so severely."
Xu Sisi's brows furrowed slightly as she said, "Could it be because she's a girl that her body is more delicate? Or perhaps there's an even more powerful monster in the secret realm..."
"That might be possible."
"Mr. Fang, we should save her first... Though we can't save everyone in the world, we cannot stand by and watch someone die if they are right in front of us," a brother from the Dark Web interjected.
The Dark Web has always taken it upon themselves to uphold justice.
Fang Yu nodded, but let out a sigh as well. With the world in chaos now, who could possibly save everyone? He just hoped it wasn't an overwhelming sense of mercy at play.
"Everyone else, please leave."
"Yes!"
Fang Yu began to attend to the injured.
"Let's wait until after we've saved her before asking what happened. It won't be too late then."
"Mm."
Soon the hall was left with only Fang Yu, Ye Wenjun, Shangguan Linghui, Xu Sisi, and some other female servants.
Looking at the unconscious girl, Fang Yu gave a faint smile and said, "You're lucky to have encountered me... Your injuries actually aren't that severe, the main thing is it's a race against the Death God. A big hospital could also save her and even Xu Zhaopei could treat her through surgery, but unfortunately, they aren't here... You are about to breath your last!"
Following that.
Fang Yu extended his hand and placed it over her chest.
Shangguan Linghui quickly said, "Wenjun sister, please don't overthink it. Mr. Fang is doing this out of selflessness, without any impure thoughts."
"Don't worry, I know," replied Ye Wenjun.
Fang Yu was taken aback for a moment.
He originally had no ulterior motives, but now that Shangguan Linghui had mentioned it, he couldn't help but notice the girl's skin.
It was alarmingly white, a healthy kind of white. Had she not lost so much blood, she would definitely be considered a great beauty. Her features and attire were not those of an ordinary person.
Soon after.
A wave of Mysterious Spirit Energy flowed from his palm into the girl's body.
Mysterious Spirit Energy was a higher level of Primordial Qi, boasting several times the moisturizing and regenerating speed of its predecessor.
This is the prowess of a physician.
Familiarity with the human's meridians allowed the Mysterious Spirit Energy to repair the body more easily.
Before long.
The crucial areas were healed.
"Lucky it's just a common injury... If it were damage caused by a cultivator's Inner Essence, it would take much more effort to heal," Fang Yu lifted his palm, expressing admiration.
Just as he finished speaking.
The girl opened her eyes.
Looking around in a daze, she glanced to her left and right.
"You're awake?" asked Xu Sisi with a beaming smile.
The girl appeared a bit self-conscious as she looked around.
Seeing nothing but women and checking her own attire, which was dirty and torn with a big hole, she blushed and hunched over.
"Thank you... thank you for saving me."
Fang Yu laughed, "What happened?"
"I, I don't know... I was out buying groceries, and in an alley I saw something that looked like a wolf-dog... It, its eyes were red, and it charged at me... I was so scared... Then I didn't know anything else."
