"Young friend Chu Feng, you're awake." Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
It was the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley. Not only him, but Su Jingrui had also walked in from outside the room. It seemed the two of them had been standing guard outside for quite some time.
The voices Chu Feng had faintly heard earlier must have been the two of them talking.
"Valley Master. Elder Su." As he spoke, Chu Feng leaped down from the bed and bowed to the two.
Setting aside the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley for the moment, Su Jingrui had genuinely saved Chu Feng's life back at the headquarters of the Red Butterfly Association.
So despite not being particularly close with Su Jingrui, Chu Feng still held him in very high regard.
"Young friend Chu Feng, you've only just recovered from a serious illness. There's no need for such formality." Seeing this, the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley spoke.
"It seems young friend Chu Feng is already in fine shape," Su Jingrui added with a smile.
"Rest assured, seniors, I'm fully recovered."
"But seniors, what happened to Eggy? Why is she so weak?" Chu Feng asked with concern.
He didn't care about why he was lying here, nor did he care what he had gone through while in a semi-conscious state.
Right now, what he cared about most was why Eggy was so weak.
"Eggy? You mean this Asura Spirit World spirit?" the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley asked.
"That's right," Chu Feng nodded.
"Young friend Chu Feng, you were attacked by that strange cat in the forbidden grounds. Do you remember?" the Valley Master asked.
"I remember. But after it struck, I lost consciousness. I don't know what happened after that," Chu Feng said.
"That explains it. That strange cat injured you, and you were in constant agony. We were all completely helpless against the torment you were suffering."
"I examined you myself. Had we left you alone, you would likely have died."
"Fortunately, your Asura Spirit World spirit used her own unique methods to relieve your pain."
"However, those methods seemed to take a toll on her as well. After your pain subsided, she became extremely weak."
"After we brought you here, she continued standing guard by your side the entire time — a full half month."
"For that half month, she never once blinked her eyes. In fact… she only just fell asleep," the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley explained.
Hearing this, Chu Feng finally understood what had happened. It turned out the reason he had been able to endure the pain of those black flames was not because of his own constitution, but because Eggy had intervened. That gentle force had been emitted by Eggy.
Now that he knew the full story, Chu Feng looked at Eggy again — at that beautiful face, now so haggard — and his heart ached even more deeply.
That kind of heartache was truly unbearable.
"Eggy, it seems you've saved me once again. I owe you another debt."
Chu Feng reached out and gently caressed Eggy's stunning yet weary face, his heart filled with indescribable sorrow.
After that, Chu Feng immediately set up a healing formation on the spot to treat Eggy's injuries.
Under Chu Feng's masterful healing formations, Eggy's complexion improved considerably.
However, Eggy showed no signs of waking. On the contrary, she sank even more deeply into a peaceful slumber.
This was exactly what Chu Feng intended. He wanted Eggy to get proper rest.
Once the healing was done, Chu Feng opened the Spirit World gate and sent the Queen back to her own Spirit World.
"Young friend Chu Feng, your barrier arts are truly masterful. For someone so young to already be an Immortal-Robed Spirit World Master would be rare enough, but to also possess such exceptional skill in barrier techniques — that is something I have truly never seen before."
