103: Chapter 103 Ancestor, I'm awake! Wives, line up and take turns hugging me!

Qingyun Sect, Cloud Peak Immortal Cave.

The Purple-skirted Woman quietly opened her eyes, the corner of her mouth curving into an amused arc.

“Interesting. I originally thought he was just a lecher indulged in feminine beauty, but I didn't expect him to actually possess some deep affection.”

“Amusing, truly amusing.”

She murmured softly, a flash of determination crossing her eyes.

Then, the woman pinched a hand seal and fell into a deep sleep.

A purple light flew out from between her eyebrows, transforming into a phantom identical to her. After casting a glance at her sleeping self, it dissolved into a rain of light, silently merging into heaven and earth.

...

The Jiang Residence, quiet room.

Yuan Chu suddenly lifted her head, her bloodshot eyes staring intently at Jiang Feng's finger, deeply afraid it was just her illusion.

That cold hand, which she was holding tightly in her palm—its index finger had indeed twitched slightly once more.

It was not an illusion!

“It moved! It moved!”

Yuan Chu's voice grew sharp with excitement, carrying a sob and wild joy.

“Sister Yao, come quickly! Husband's finger moved!”

This shout startled everyone in the quiet room awake.

Su Wan, Zhang Yuniang, and Lin Yueyao all rushed over. Several pairs of eyes stared in unison at Jiang Feng's hand.

Yao Shifei stepped to the bedside. Without a word, she formed a sword hand-seal, her fingertips swirling with a faint green light, and tapped precisely on Jiang Feng's forehead.

A stream of pure wood-attribute spiritual energy probed into Jiang Feng's Sea of Consciousness.

After a moment, Yao Shifei's tightly knitted brows finally smoothed out, and a relieved smile appeared on her Face.

“His Divine Soul has stabilized. This is a good thing!”

She quickly took out a translucent white, extraordinarily fragrant Medicinal Pill from her Storage Pouch and carefully slipped it into Jiang Feng's mouth.

“Soul-Stabilizing Pill!”

The Medicinal Pill dissolved the moment it entered his mouth, turning into a clear current that flowed down his throat, surged through his limbs and bones, and finally merged into his chaotic Sea of Consciousness.

As the medicinal efficacy dissolved, Jiang Feng's trembling eyelashes finally fluttered open slowly.

His unfocused eyes gradually regained focus, reflecting the room full of worried Faces.

Su Wan's gentleness, Zhang Yuniang's loveliness, Lin Yueyao's exhaustion, Yao Shifei's relief, and Yuan Chu's tear stains...

Every single Face lit up because of his awakening.

Jiang Feng's chapped lips moved, his hoarse voice carrying the stiffness of someone who hadn't spoken in a long time.

He looked at the room full of beautiful women, saw their red-rimmed eyes, and grinned.

His pale Face instantly gained a bit of vitality because of this smile.

He slowly opened his arms.

“Come, all of you, come over and let your husband hug you.”

With just one sentence, the suffocating atmosphere in the room instantly dissipated.

The women were taken aback at first, but then they all pursed their lips and began to laugh, though their tears flowed even faster.

Su Wan was the first to react. She took a step forward, but instead of hugging him, she gently pressed down on his arm.

“Husband, your injuries haven't healed yet. Don't move around.”

Though she said so, she leaned down and gave Jiang Feng a gentle embrace.

With someone leading the way, Zhang Yuniang and Yuan Chu also stepped forward one after another, hugging him with extreme care, terrified of hurting him.

Only Yue Yao stood in place, her Face covered in tears, not daring to step forward.

She felt guilty in her heart.

Jiang Feng's gaze landed on her, and he waved her over.

“Yue Yao, come here.”

Yue Yao sobbed, moving to the bedside step by step, and fell to her knees with a thud.

“Husband, it's all my fault...”

“Silly girl, why are you crying?”

Jiang Feng used all his strength to raise his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears on her Face, but found that he couldn't lift his arm at all. He could only smile helplessly.

“Isn't your husband back safe and sound?”

“Get up, let your husband see if my Fairy Yue Yao has gotten thinner.”

These simple words made Yue Yao cry even harder. She threw herself against the bedside, burying her Face in the bedding, weeping suppressedly as her shoulders shook violently.

Jiang Feng has awakened.

These words spread throughout the entire Jiang Family.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the boulder weighing on their hearts was finally lifted.

...

That night.

Su Wan persuaded all the wives and concubines to return to their rooms, leaving only Jiang Feng and Yuan Chu in the quiet room.

During the day, Jiang Feng had already noticed that something was off with Yuan Chu. Although she was smiling, the sorrow in the depths of her eyes could not be hidden no matter what.

“Husband...”

Yuan Chu sat by the bedside, tucking in the corners of his blanket, just about to say something.

But Jiang Feng spoke first. His voice was still weak, but clear enough.

“Yuan Chu, what did you mean by what you said to me before I fell unconscious?”

“What did you mean by 'if you don't wake up, you might not see me again'?”

Yuan Chu's body stiffened slightly.

She lifted her head, looking into Jiang Feng's deep eyes, knowing she couldn't hide it.

She was silent for a moment before finally speaking. Her strange behavior during this period all stemmed from that voice.

“Husband, there has always been a voice in my mind.”

“That voice tells me that my time is running out.”

Jiang Feng's brows furrowed.

“A voice? Where does it come from?”

“I don't know.” Yuan Chu shook her head, her expression somewhat blank. “It seems to... come from the 'Yuan' character Seal deep within my Sea of Consciousness.”

“The only thing I can be sure of is that I seem to come from a place called the Yuanchu Sacred Land.”

The Yuanchu Sacred Land!

These four words exploded in Jiang Feng's mind.

He only felt his scalp go numb.

A single Qingyun Sect had already nearly caused his death and the dissipation of his Dao. Now, another hidden Sacred Land, which sounded incredibly powerful just from its name, had cropped up?

How was he supposed to properly enjoy having many children and blessings like this!

Looking at Jiang Feng's shifting expression, Yuan Chu suddenly regained her usual playfulness, a sly smile curving her lips.

“Husband, are you scared?”

Jiang Feng was taken aback, then burst into laughter, which accidentally aggravated his wound, making him grimace in pain.

“Scared? Your husband is afraid of nothing under the heavens.”

He forced himself to put on the posture of a great expert.

“It's just a Sacred Land. Once your husband recovers, I can destroy it with a flick of my finger!”

“Pfft.”

Yuan Chu was amused by his stubborn insistence on saving Face.

Because of this, the atmosphere in the quiet room lightened up considerably.

The two embraced and laughed, but a hint of bitterness was hidden within their laughter.

No matter how strong the Qingyun Sect was, it at least had a mountain gate and traces to follow.

But this so-called Yuanchu Sacred Land—they didn't even know where it was. Its strength was likely far beyond imagination, probably with a Soul Transformation Divine Lord above the Nascent Soul stage.

If Yuan Chu really were to dissipate one day, what should he do?

Jiang Feng didn't know; such a hidden Sacred Land was not something someone of his level could understand.

Neither of them spoke further, simply holding each other tightly.

...

Three days later.

Under the care of Yao Shifei's Medicinal Pills, Jiang Feng was already able to get out of bed and walk around.

His monstrous Physical Body recovery capability left even Yao Shifei marveling in wonder.

On this day, two figures returned to Huoyang Commandery.

It was precisely the sisters Huangfu Yunni and Huangfu Yunshang, who had gone to Yanjing.

As soon as they entered the door and saw the man who was supposed to be lying like a corpse in bed sitting in the courtyard sunbathing, the sisters were both stunned.

Immediately, Huangfu Yunshang's eyes reddened, and tears welled up.

Huangfu Yunni, with her fiery personality, also had red-rimmed eyes. She quickly walked up to Jiang Feng and sized him up from head to toe.

Seeing the two beauties worrying about him, Jiang Feng felt a warmth in his heart, but his mouth started acting improper again.

“What's with those expressions? Are you worried you'd become widows right after marrying in?”

“You!”

Amused and annoyed, Huangfu Yunni reached out with her jade-like hand and gave a fierce pinch to the tender, unhealed flesh on his arm.

“Hiss—”

Jiang Feng gasped in pain, “You're murdering your own husband!”

“Hmph! That'll teach you to be so glib!”

Huangfu Yunshang was amused and broke into a smile through her tears, giving him a reproachful glare.

Su Wan, Zhang Yuniang, and the others were also in the courtyard. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but chuckle, and the courtyard was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

But just as everyone was laughing, a sudden change occurred!

The sky suddenly turned dark.

A moment ago, the sun had been shining brightly and the sky was cloudless for thousands of miles.

At this moment, the entire sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if a boundless black cloth had completely shrouded the sun and the entire heavens!
