172: Chapter 172 A Thousand Shadows Transformation, The Threads of Love in the Jade Pivot

"Phew!"

Saving lives is such exhausting work. Hun Tiandi let out a soft sigh, took a piece of soft white cloth, dipped it into the medicinal liquid in the wooden barrel, and began to wipe Feng Qianyou's body.

He wiped her gently, inch by inch, carefully cleaning away all the bloodstains until her entire body was spotless, without a trace of blood left.

The blood-stained clothes he had removed from her were tossed to the side.

"I've taken your purple flame thunder bead and thunder armor; that counts as payment for saving your life. Since I'm playing the good guy, I might as well see it through to the end and clean you up too!"

Hun Tiandi turned to look at the unconscious Lei Xuanji and repeated the same actions. By this point, the medicinal liquid in the wooden barrel had been completely absorbed, leaving only clear water.

After the bath, Hun Tiandi retrieved two cyan robes from his own supply of clothes and dressed Feng Qianyou and Lei Xuanji in them.

He then placed them on the bluestone bed he had made earlier, laying them down flat.

Next, all that remained was to wait for Feng Qianyou and the other to wake up.

Hun Tiandi took a jade box from his storage ring, opened it to reveal a thousand-year-old ginseng, sliced it into pieces, and placed them into the mouths of Feng Qianyou and Lei Xuanji for them to hold.

He gave them one slice each morning and evening, occasionally feeding them some water to ensure they had enough hydration and nutrients.

While caring for the two, Hun Tiandi also engaged in rigorous training. His swordsmanship was gradually strengthening, and the strength he could have increased by another star after his previous injury was forcibly suppressed by him to stabilize his foundation.

After a month of recuperation, the two gradually began to wake up. Hun Tiandi, unaware in the dim cave, took out the ginseng slices from their mouths, fed them some clear water, and replaced them with fresh slices.

He placed his fingers on Feng Qianyou's jade wrist, sending a wisp of soul power to infiltrate her body and investigate. Her originally fractured bones had almost healed, and her injuries were essentially no longer a concern.

He turned to look at Lei Xuanji, repeating the process of removing the ginseng slice, feeding her water, and checking her injuries; she could be considered fully recovered as well.

He then turned and left, exiting the cave.

As her consciousness returned, Feng Qianyou recalled the earth-shattering scene at Poison Dragon Cliff, and how she had fallen unconscious after being struck by the energy collision.

"Am I dead? I was so severely injured at the time. It's just a pity I couldn't avenge my uncle. Damn that Yun Tian, I hope he perished in that catastrophe!"

Feng Qianyou thought fiercely to herself, yet she felt that she hadn't died; she was still alive?

She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy and she lacked the strength to lift them.

Therefore, Feng Qianyou attempted to use her soul power to gently probe her surroundings. Where was she?

Upon sensing, she discovered that her injuries had mostly recovered, her fractured bones had almost fully mended, and there wasn't a single scar on her skin.

It was as if that previous scene of destruction had been a dream.

No! It was real. Someone must have saved her. Who could it be?

Lei Xuanji, who was nearby, was the same. When she perceived with her soul power, she discovered something shocking and humiliating: the clothes on her body had been completely changed.

"Everything, it was everything; even my undergarments were no longer the ones I was familiar with!"

"My thunder armor? My purple flame thunder bead?"

Lei Xuanji was furious. She sensed that she was wearing a man's cyan robe, which was slightly too large.

Just then, Hun Tiandi walked in from outside the cave. Feng Qianyou sensed him with her soul power and realized it was Yun Tian. He actually hadn't died?

How could this be? He had saved her too.

Feng Qianyou's mind went completely blank because she realized that the cyan robe she was wearing was exactly the same as the one on Hun Tiandi.

His clothes? Then who changed my clothes for me?

Sensing Hun Tiandi enter and approach her, she thought of an absurd possibility, but refused to believe it.

"Hm? The injuries have recovered, why haven't they woken up yet?" Hun Tiandi wondered aloud.

"Perhaps the damage from the deadly poison was too great. Although you used the ten thousand soul banner to absorb the excess poison, the poison remained in their bodies for a period. Their physical injuries have recovered, but the damage to their souls is a bit troublesome."

"Why don't you soak them in the medicinal liquid a few more times? They might wake up then!"

Elder Dan reminded him.

Hun Tiandi nodded, began to take out the wooden barrels, poured in clean water, and added the medicinal liquid from the jade bottle, filling two large barrels.

"I really owe you two!" While the two were lost in their own thoughts, Hun Tiandi slowly helped Lei Xuanji up. With her body tensed, he undid her clothes.

At this moment, Lei Xuanji felt shamed and angry, instinctively wanting to strike Hun Tiandi dead with a single palm.

Thinking of the clothes on her body, Lei Xuanji gritted her teeth and held back, a strange emotion rising in her heart.

What was Hun Tiandi doing? He wouldn't... want to...

Just as Lei Xuanji's dirty thoughts emerged, Hun Tiandi removed her clothes, picked up her exquisite, curvaceous body, and slowly placed it into the wooden barrel.

The cool water temperature made Lei Xuanji's body tremble; he submerged her up to her neck and then let her be.

He crouched down, two balls of flame appeared on his hands, wrapping around the wooden barrel to heat it. After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the temperature of the water rose.

Immediately after, Hun Tiandi stood up and went to Feng Qianyou's side, slowly helped her up, removed her clothes, picked her up, and placed her into the wooden barrel.

He heated the water to the same temperature, and steam billowed up.

After finishing all this, Hun Tiandi wiped the sweat from his forehead and, without resting, went behind the two and placed his palms on their heads.

With a thought, two streams of pure Fighting Qi entered their bodies, stimulating the medicinal energy that had seeped into them to gradually repair their fractured bones; even his soul power surged out to envelop their bodies.

He dared not make the slightest error.

At this moment, Feng Qianyou was extremely conflicted, with an urge to cry welling up in her eyes.

This damned Yun Tian, could he really be her creditor? Her great revenge had yet to be avenged; why had her body been seen by him, and why did she have to endure such treatment?

Waves of emotion surged in Lei Xuanji's heart. In the Lei Clan, who dared to be disrespectful to her? No man had ever seen her body; anyone who had improper thoughts about her had perished under lightning.

But he had saved her...

Feng Qianyou and Lei Xuanji had nowhere to vent the anger in their hearts, their chests heaving with rage.

An hour later, under Hun Tiandi's intervention, the two had finished absorbing the medicinal liquid.

Hun Tiandi lifted Feng Qianyou out of the wooden barrel, carefully dried the water off her, and dressed her in a cyan robe. Her mind was a complete blank.

At this moment, Feng Qianyou dared not open her eyes, her heart pounding like a trapped deer.

She let Hun Tiandi lay her down.

"You saved my life, you have a debt of gratitude to me, so I will not kill you for now. After I repay your life-saving favor, I will kill you to take my revenge!"

Feng Qianyou made a decision in her heart that seemed to satisfy both sides.

Hun Tiandi picked up Lei Xuanji, wiped her body clean, dressed her in a cyan robe, and placed her on the bluestone. She had expected him to leave.

"My body is not something anyone can just look at; you must take responsibility."

"Otherwise, even if you turn the Fighting Qi Continent upside down, you won't have it easy..."

Lei Xuanji said through gritted teeth.

However, Hun Tiandi did not leave. A ginseng appeared in his hand, he sliced off a piece, placed it by her red lips, pinched her small mouth open, and inserted the slice.

He stood up and gave Feng Qianyou a slice of ginseng as well. The light in the cave was dim, so he didn't notice. The pretty faces of Lei Xuanji and Feng Qianyou flushed with a rosy hue.

"Sigh, saving people is truly a troublesome affair. In the future, I must never be so generous with my kindness!"

Hun Tiandi said softly, stretched, and then, carrying the two wooden barrels, walked toward the exit of the cave.

He walked out, caught two fish, cleaned them, stewed them over a slow fire, and began to sit cross-legged to cultivate.
