Dan Dan blinked his big eyes and flattened his lips, “Beautiful gege is a good person, he’s saved Mother multiple times.”
“Moreover, Dan Dan has seen Mother play and kiss with beautiful gege… Longlong, what is benefiting at others’ expense?”
Little Golden Dragon, “…”
When the pure yin blood went into her stomach, her inflamed dantian seemed to have been given spring stream and slowly returned to its original state.
Nangong Yu pressed his left hand on Hexi’s back and slowly channeled his spiritual energy into her body, cautiously restoring her dantian which had been burned.
After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the pained expression on Hexi’s face slowly disappeared, becoming peaceful.
But, Nangong Yu’s complexion turned deathly pale. His originally tired eyes had greenish black ash added onto them.
To the side, Wu Xin was full of anxiousness, he wanted to step up and ask to substitute as the person giving Hexi spiritual energy. But he was quickly glared at by Master with his cold eyes.
Nangong Yu used his hand to feel Hexi’s forehead. After ensuring that she no longer had a fever, he loosened his breath and extended his hand to wipe away the perspiration on her forehead.
The room turned tranquil and ambiguous. Nangong Yu tightly held onto Hexi and his line of sight never moved away, not even for a second.
He wanted to stay like this forever, to have her by his side forever. But right now, he couldn’t.
If his matters weren’t finished, then if Hexi were to stay by his side, there was a possibility that danger would happen one day. So much so that… she may even die a violent death.
This was something he couldn’t endure, even if he died.
Nangong Yu slowly released his hands and stood up, “I’m leaving, take good care of her.”
“Furthermore, don’t let Hexi know of my coming here and you absolutely can not let other people know either.”
Finished speaking, he faced the two fellows by Hexi’s bedside, “Did you clearly hear me?”
The Little Golden Dragon and Dan Dan acted like they were awed and simultaneously nodded their heads. Their appearances were extremely lovable and cute.
Nangong Yu leaned over to leave a light kiss on Hexi’s forehead before turning around to leave.
But, when he had just reached the doorway, he suddenly turned around. His serene eyes closely watched Dan Dan as he gloomily said, “When you see me next time, you must not call me beautiful gege. You have to call me daddy, do you hear me?”
“Heard… Heard it.” Dan Dan’s face was dumbfounded, under Nangong Yu’s intense gaze, he obediently nodded his head.
Wu Xin turned his head to facepalm. Master, is threatening wangfei’s spirit pets really good when she’s in a coma? If he remembered correctly, wangfei still hasn’t agreed to marry into his house?

Hexi felt that this sleep was endless.
A painful and burning torture accompanied beside her in sleep. She felt as if she had been thrown into Taishang Laozi’s refining pill stove like monkey Sun was [1]. It was scalding hot everywhere, it was painful everywhere.
This sort of torment continued for a long time, but soon after, someone softly brought her into their embrace.
That hug was extremely tender and doting, and even carried traces of familiarity. This allowed her body and mind to relax.
Soon after, an ice cold clear spring and bloody smelling stream entered her throat and went into her dantian.
Following this, the burning pain faded away without a trace. Even her bruised dantian was moistened by this spiritual energy blood, slowly restoring.
The early morning’s warm sunshine sprinkled across her snow-white and jade-like skin and stroking her soft hair.
Her long eyelashes faintly trembled as Hexi slowly opened her eyes.
“Mother– –!!” Before she could make out everything in front of her, she felt a short and stout heavily crashing into her embrace. Soon after, she heard the child’s familiar weeping.
[1] Taishang Laozi’s refining pill stove like monkey Sun – this is a reference to the book Journey to the West. Taishang is a title of respect for taoists and Laozi was an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer. Monkey Sun is Sun Wukong, a.k.a the Monkey King. He is most well-known from Journey to the West, one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature. Hexi is referring to the time that Sun Wukong was thrown into Laozi’s refining pill stove or eight-way trigram Crucible. You can read more on this here.
