Simultaneous Transmigration: My Strength Comes Entirely from My Own

Page 125

Zhao Yun had already made some progress with the simplified version of the Heaven and Earth True Scripture, and with Luke's help, he had almost fully recovered in less than an hour.

For the next three days, Luke and Zhao Yun stayed in their room except for meals and never went out.

This inn was originally given to Luke by Sikong Zhaixing, so the waiters, servants, accountants, and cooks naturally dared not disturb the owner.

During these three days, Luke was genuinely helping Zhao Yun practice his skills, only occasionally "practicing" for him.

With the combination of the two training methods, Zhao Yun's skill progressed rapidly.

Three days later, Gu Santong arrived, bringing with him the still-sleeping Su Xin.

Of course, Luke told Gu Santong the location of the inn; otherwise, even if Gu Santong brought Suxin out of Tianchi, he wouldn't be able to find Luke, let alone wake Suxin up.

Luke was genuinely surprised when he saw Su Xin.

What surprised him was not that Su Xin had maintained her original appearance for twenty years, but that Su Xin was wearing a wedding dress, a red one.

"Hey Lao Gu, you've gone a bit too far. Bringing her here is one thing, but why did you have to dress her up in a wedding gown? Look at her age, she's old enough to be your daughter, and you actually want to marry her? You're really disrespectful to your elders!"

Luke certainly knew who Su Xin was, but he had to admit that with Gu Santong's appearance, no one would believe they were husband and wife; they would be more like father and daughter.

"It's all that old pig bastard's doing. That old bastard actually dressed my wife in a wedding dress. Doesn't he know what he's up to? I'll beat him to a pulp sooner or later."

When Luke mentioned this, Gu Santong broke down. Heaven knows what he was thinking when he saw his wife lying in the ice coffin in Tianchi Lake in her wedding dress. At that time, he really wanted Zhu Wushi by his side so that he could give him a good beating to vent his hatred.

After all, no man could accept it if his wife was dressed in a wedding gown by another man, or even if that man changed her himself.

Next, Gu Santong used extremely vulgar language, but for the sake of social harmony and everyone's mental health, I won't go into too much detail.

Luke said he understood his feelings, because if it were him, Zhu Wushi would probably have died countless times by now, and not even a single intact part of him would have been found.

However, Gu Santong's profanity was simply too offensive to listen to, so he pulled out his trump card.

"Here's the stuff, feed them one by one."

Luke took out the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom and handed it to Gu Santong, stopping his cursing.

Sure enough, as soon as the Heavenly Fragrance Bean was presented, Gu Santong fell silent instantly. His hands, which could usually lift a boulder weighing tens of thousands of kilograms with unwavering stability, were now trembling, as if he were somewhat at a loss.

In the end, Gu Santong accepted the porcelain bottle from Luke's hand.

"Is it true?"

　613 Gu Santong, who was always fearless, carefully held the porcelain bottle and asked.

Luke glanced at Gu Santong and thought to himself that the fearless Gu Santong of yesteryear was probably gone forever.

"of course it's true."

The Reverse Life Triple Technique can repair oneself, and the mystery of the third level is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Gathering forms a shape and dispersing forms Qi is just the simplest application. He can clearly sense the vigorous life force in the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom. It would be an exaggeration to say that it can kill people and heal bones, but it is more than enough to cure Su Xin.

Moreover, he had just checked on Su Xin's condition. Even without the Heavenly Fragrance Bean, with Luke's third level of the Reverse Life Realm, waking her up wouldn't be difficult.

However, since we've already obtained the Heavenly Fragrance Beans and consumed the first Pure Heart Bean, giving her the remaining two won't hurt. Luke won't need them for healing people anyway.

"Don't rush, give her one at a time. She has already taken one Tianxiang Doukou, so give her the second one first, and then give her the third one after she wakes up."

Although the effects of the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom are good, Luke doesn't know exactly what its effects are, so it's better to follow the steps in the original book.

Chapter 228: Martial Arts Chronicle: Su Xin Awakens

When it came to Su Xin's question, Gu Santong was always extremely cautious. So, he carefully poured out a Tianxiang cardamom, dissolved it in warm water, and fed it to Su Xin.

A person who is asleep or unconscious cannot swallow on their own, but with Gu Santong's abilities, controlling Su Xindu's muscles to swallow is incredibly easy.

About fifteen minutes later, Su Xin finally woke up, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. Only after seeing Gu Santong's excited old face did she ask uncertainly.

"You are... my cousin?"

After being imprisoned for twenty years, Gu Santong's appearance changed drastically, and it was not just a matter of aging. Luke couldn't understand how Su Xin recognized him.

Is this the legendary love?

Upon hearing Su Xin call his name, Gu Santong burst into tears, his nose and eyes brimming with snot and tears; to use a four-character idiom, it would be "tears streaming down his face."

"Suxin, it's me. You're finally awake."

Gu Santong held Su Xin in his arms, looking extremely excited yet cautious.

"How come you've aged so much?"

Looking at the aged Gu Santong, Su Xin couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek, her beautiful eyes reddening.

In Su Xin's heart, there are only three important people.

One was Gu Santong, not only because of the betrothal they had been engaged since childhood, but also because Gu Santong was her lover.

The second is her son, whom she has never met. The bond between mother and son is unbreakable, and his importance is self-evident.

The third person to be approached was Zhu Wushi, because she was mostly moved by Zhu Wushi's feelings for her.

After all, Su Xin wasn't a modern-day "green tea" type who deliberately stringes men along; she was genuinely gentle and kind.

Gu Santong grasped Su Xin's hand that was on his face and said, "Twenty years have passed, but I'm not old."

Su Xin asked in surprise, "Twenty years?"

Su Xin's situation over the years is similar to that of a person in a vegetative state, but there are also some differences.

Although a person in a vegetative state is asleep, their consciousness remains clear, and they can perceive the outside world, but they just cannot move. This is why many people in a vegetative state are awakened by the tireless calls of their relatives and friends day and night.

However, most people in a vegetative state only want to die after experiencing that darkness. Not every person in a vegetative state has that strong will to live, and most cannot withstand the torment of that darkness and silence.

But for Su Xin, these twenty years of slumber went unnoticed; it was as if she had taken a nap and woken up to find herself twenty years in the future.

Suddenly, Su Xin looked pained and clutched her chest.

"Cousin, I feel so bad 々々."

As soon as she finished speaking, a chill spread visibly across Su Xin's face, even her eyebrows were covered in frost.

"what happened?"

Gu Santong looked at Luke, his expression a mixture of shock and anger, as if he were questioning him about something.

It's easy to guess that Gu Santong suspects that the Tianxiang Doukou is fake, and that it has had a counterproductive effect on the original Tianxiang Doukou in Su Xin's body.

Luke reminded him, "This Su Xin has been in Tianchi for twenty years, maintaining her physical vitality with the thousand-year-old ice. However, while the thousand-year-old ice has protected Su Xin, it has also allowed the coldness of the ice to invade her internal organs. Instead of glaring at me now, you should use your Absorption Technique to absorb the coldness that has accumulated in her body for twenty years."

Gu Santong dared not be negligent in the slightest. He gently placed his hands between Su Xin's back and lower abdomen, and a layer of warm golden light emanated from his palms.

He took a deep breath, and his internal energy circulated, instantly transforming into a gentle yet powerful suction force that slowly drew out the cold energy that had plagued Su Xin for many years.

At first, the cold air surged out like a tidal wave, its biting chill hitting Gu Santong's palms directly.

The chill seemed to emanate from the depths of the underworld, sending shivers down one's spine.

But Gu Santong was not afraid at all. His Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill had already reached a high level of mastery, and any external force would be quickly neutralized within his body.

As the cold air rushed in, Gu Santong's internal energy burned away the frost like a raging fire, gradually dissolving the cold energy and eventually transforming it into pure water that was stored in his dantian.

Su Xin felt the suffocating chill in her body gradually weaken, and her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

She opened her eyes and looked at Gu Santong's focused expression, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

"Cousin, are you... alright?" Her voice was weak but full of concern.

"Don't talk, conserve your energy."

Gu Santong offered a soft word of comfort, his eyes filled with pity.

He intensified the absorption technique, while simultaneously using his own powerful internal energy to protect Su Xin's heart meridian, preventing the cold energy from backfiring and causing further damage to her internal organs.

As time passed, the frost on Su Xin's body began to fade, and a faint blush returned to her cheeks.

Although the millennium-old ice was incredibly powerful, it gradually dissipated thanks to Gu Santong's tireless efforts.

With each reduction in the chill, Su Xin's body regained a bit of vitality, and she could even feel her limbs gradually regaining sensation.

However, Gu Santong's expression grew increasingly grave. How heavy was the chill that had accumulated over twenty years?

Even a master like him found it somewhat strenuous.

Sweat dripped down his temples, but he didn't stop, because he knew that if he stopped, Su Xin might be in danger again.

After a while, Su Xin suddenly felt a relief in her chest, as if a huge boulder had been lifted off her chest.

She tried moving her fingers and found that they could actually bend and stretch freely!

"Cousin, I feel much better!"

She said with delight, her voice brimming with undisguised excitement.

Gu Santong smiled with relief upon hearing this, but still dared not let his guard down.

"Just a little bit more, hang in there a little longer."

As the last wisp of cold air was completely absorbed, Su Xin was completely refreshed, as if she had washed away all her makeup and regained her radiance.

Gu Santong sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and regulated his breathing to stabilize the fluctuations in his true energy caused by the large amount of cold energy he had just absorbed.

At this moment, the room was silent, with only the sound of their breathing. Su Xin looked at Gu Santong's tired but determined profile, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Luke had already left long ago; he had finished his business and the couple was reunited, so he didn't want to be a third wheel.

However, not long after, Luke heard a loud bang.

Squinting in the direction of the ancient three-way passage, Luke's forehead veins bulged. Looking at the wood fragments scattering from the passage, Luke was certain that the house needed renovation.

Chapter 229: Martial Arts Chronicle: If You Dare to Back Out, I'll Flip the Table

“I have a son!”

Immediately afterwards, Gu Santong's excited shouts came from inside the room.

Luke sighed and rubbed his forehead. Yes, if it weren't for this kind of news, Gu Santong wouldn't have been so excited that he almost demolished the house.

Luke rubbed his head and decided to go find Zhao Yun and ask her for guidance on her martial arts training!

Don't get me wrong, it's serious training. Luke isn't some kind of animal, how could he do that kind of thing every day? Although he wanted to, he couldn't!

Since the three days of absurdity, Zhao Yun has devoted himself entirely to practicing martial arts.

In her words, the sooner she mastered the skill, the sooner she could help Luke.
