Chapter 109: The Snow Angel’s True Face
Chapter 109: Chapter 109: The Snow Angel’s True Face
After speaking a few harsh words, Tang Qinru grabbed Lin Yi’s wrist and fell into deep thought.
After a long moment, she finally let go of Lin Yi’s hand.
Chu Zhengxiong quickly asked, "How is he? Have his injuries healed?"
Tang Qinru shot him a look of disgust.
Then she turned her head back to look at Lin Yi.
"It’s really strange. His injuries were quite serious before, with damage to his internal organs."
"He’s only been lying here for three days, but his Qi and Blood have completely stabilized, and even the damage to his internal organs has fully recovered..."
A trace of surprise flashed through Tang Qinru’s eyes.
Three days ago, Lin Yi’s injuries had been so severe that even she felt helpless.
Otherwise, the old man wouldn’t have taken out the ancestral Three Treasures Rejuvenation Pill.
But after taking his pulse just now, Tang Qinru discovered that Lin Yi was now a completely healthy person.
Even healthier than a normal healthy person.
His internal organs felt as if they had been completely refurbished.
This made her a little curious about Lin Yi.
Especially when she recalled that day when she and the old man had personally witnessed runes swirling around Lin Yi’s body.
Although it didn’t last long.
But, Lin Yi’s body had been revitalized.
That was what made Tang Qinru give up on using medicine and instead watch over Lin Yi for three whole days.
Until Lin Yi woke up, and his body had returned to its original state.
This kind of self-healing ability was something she had never seen before.
Even the Three Treasures Rejuvenation Pill might not have been able to achieve such an effect.
"Hahaha... What else can I say? This kid’s got a charmed life, to survive such heavy injuries and be fine!"
"Since you’ve recovered, stop lying around. Get up and move a bit!"
Chu Zhengxiong walked over and patted Lin Yi.
As a result, he immediately felt a hostile gaze.
He quickly turned his head and saw Tang Qinru’s cold expression.
It was as if she could annihilate him in the next moment.
Chu Zhengxiong’s smile vanished, and he quietly took two steps back, avoiding Tang Qinru’s gaze.
"Old Chu, I never would have thought it. So there’s someone you’re actually afraid of?"
"Looks like besides Qinru, there’s no one else who can keep you in line, huh?"
Han Bin said with a smile as he approached.
Chu Zhengxiong shot him a glance. "Quit your gloating. If you’ve got the guts, you try it."
"Me? I’d better not!"
"I have official business to attend to. Move aside!"
Han Bin reached out and pushed Chu Zhengxiong to the side.
Just as Chu Zhengxiong was about to flare up, Han Bin took out a briefcase.
"Lin Yi, on behalf of the Demon Hunting Bureau, I’d like to express our gratitude!"
"If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have discovered a Blood Drop stronghold so easily, nor would we have destroyed it and killed Wu Liang!"
"The Demon Hunting Bureau has entrusted me to give you some rewards!"
After Han Bin finished speaking with a serious expression, he opened the briefcase.
Inside, more than a dozen vials of potions were lined up.
The vials containing the potions were about the size of oral liquid bottles.
Seven of the vials contained a deep yellow liquid, just like mango juice.
The other seven were green.
Lin Yi had seen the mango-juice-like potion before.
It was a type of composite formula only available in the New District.
Drinking one bottle could make you feel full, and the effect lasted for up to ten hours.
But as for the green ones, Lin Yi had truly never seen them before.
He pointed curiously at the green potion and said, "Brother Han, this is..."
"This is a type of tempering potion. Taking one vial can improve your physique and enhance your Qi and Blood!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi’s eyes lit up.
’Isn’t this just like the Blood Replenishing Soup and Blood Replenishing Pills sold on the market?’
But the effect was definitely not something those Blood Replenishing Soups could compare to.
The fact that it could also improve his physique made it even more precious.
Lin Yi carefully took the case.
"There’s more!"
Then, Mo Ya approached with a light chuckle.
"This isn’t any potion. It’s your bonus from the Demon Hunting Bureau, one million in total!"
"Go on, count it..."
CLICK. Mo Ya opened a larger, heavier briefcase.
Inside were stacks upon stacks of cash.
Lin Yi was a bit stunned. This was the first time he had ever seen so much cash.
"Count it. If it’s short, I’ll go get it from the Demon Hunting Bureau for you!" Chu Zhengxiong said with a laugh as he walked over.
Lin Yi: "..."
The Demon Hunting Bureau’s generosity left Lin Yi deeply shocked.
But this money and these rewards were all earned by risking his life.
So naturally, he felt no burden in his heart and accepted it all.
"Alright, everyone who should leave, leave. Don’t just crowd around here!"
"Chu! Don’t you have any actual work to do? What are you still doing here?"
Tang Qinru walked over and said irritably.
In her view, the reason Lin Yi had ended up like this...
...nearly losing his life, was all because of Chu Zhengxiong.
If he hadn’t insisted on dragging Lin Yi into matters concerning Blood Drop, this wouldn’t have happened.
It was a good thing Lin Yi had a charmed life and no accident occurred.
Otherwise...
Chu Zhengxiong scratched his head and laughed awkwardly. "Hahaha, alright then. Since you’re awake, kid, I won’t stay any longer. Another day, I’ll treat you to a meal, a big feast..."
"Brother Chu, isn’t that what you said last time, too?" Lin Yi quickly asked.
His words caused Tang Qinru’s expression to change again.
She whipped her head around to look at Chu Zhengxiong. "What? There was a last time?"
Chu Zhengxiong cursed inwardly. ’I’ll make it up to you for both, all at once! I’m out of here...’
After saying that, Chu Zhengxiong ran outside.
He could feel that if he didn’t leave right then...
...Tang Qinru’s glare alone could have sliced him into a thousand pieces.
Han Bin and Mo Ya also said their goodbyes to Lin Yi and left.
Finally, Zhou Qi and Hu Quan came over and said, "Lin Yi, now that you’re okay, we can rest easy... Well, uh, we’ll get going then!"
Lin Yi smiled, nodded, and bid them farewell one by one.
When only Lin Yi and Tang Qinru were left in the room...
...Lin Yi gave an awkward smile. "Sister Qingru, you’ve been the one taking care of me these past few days, right? Thank you for your hard work!"
Hearing this, Tang Qinru glanced at him.
"From now on, stay out of things like this. Those people from Blood Drop are capable of any evil. Human life means nothing to them. They’re all a bunch of lunatics, lunatics who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals!"
"You should be running from them, not running towards them!"
"That Wu Liang had a 6-star cultivation level. You’re lucky to be alive after taking that punch from him!"
"And especially that Chu Zhengxiong. Stay away from him from now on, you hear me?"
Tang Qinru scolded him relentlessly.
Lin Yi nodded repeatedly, waiting until she was finished.
Only then did Lin Yi say with a smile, "Sister Qingru, are you very familiar with the people from the Demon Hunting Bureau?"
"Huh? I... I wouldn’t say very familiar. I met them back when I was in the New District!" Tang Qinru suddenly started to stammer.
Lin Yi smiled. "Sister Qingru, you’ve been to the New District before? No, wait, you came from the New District, didn’t you? The environment, conditions, and everything in the New District are so much better than in the Old District!"
"Why didn’t you stay in the New District? Why come back to the Old District?"
"Brother Chu and the others are here on a mission for the Demon Hunting Bureau, so what about you...?"
Lin Yi’s questions left Tang Qinru momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
After a long pause, she finally said, "I have my reasons!"
"Anyway, how’s your body now? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"
Tang Qinru quickly changed the subject.
Lin Yi just smiled. He could tell that Tang Qinru didn’t want to answer right now.
So he didn’t press the matter.
He had only asked those couple of questions out of pure curiosity.
Since Tang Qinru didn’t want to talk about it, there was no need to get to the bottom of it.
’In this life, who doesn’t have a few secrets they can’t or won’t tell?’
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—
Suddenly, a knock came from the door.
Lin Yi and Tang Qinru both quickly glanced at the door.
Tang Qinru walked straight over to it.
"Xiaoxue? What are you doing here?"
"Sister Qingru, Captain Chu just called and told me that Lin Yi woke up..."
"He’s awake now. Why don’t you come in?"
Tang Qinru said with a light chuckle.
Then, she pushed the door open and stepped back.
And right behind her, a girl walked in.
When Lin Yi saw the girl, he was utterly stunned.
She wasn’t wearing a mask today.
Even her clothes were completely different.
She wore a pure white dress, her smooth, silky hair was down, and she had a pink hairpin in it.
She truly looked like an angel who had descended to the mortal world.
Pure and flawless...
After a long time, Lin Yi finally snapped out of his daze.
"You’re... Sister Xue?"
