11: Can you keep this a secret?

Seeing Zhang Yan run into the room, Chu Yuan opened his mouth but said nothing.

He got up and looked at the bowl-sized wound on his left arm; blood was still gushing out.

Fortunately, no artery was cut, otherwise it would have been dangerous.

Chu Yuan hesitated for a moment, not taking out the green fruit to heal his injuries for now.

He went to the side, took down the machete, and held it tightly in his hand.

Although he didn't know if what these two said was true or false, he couldn't afford not to be on guard.

What if there were other dangers?

At this moment, Zhang Yan ran over, carrying a medicine box.

"Brother Chu Yuan, I'll treat your wound."

Saying that, without waiting for Chu Yuan's consent, she cut off the sleeve on his arm.

Immediately after, she cleaned it with a special medicine, applied ointment, and then bandaged it up.

Seeing the bandaging finished, Chu Yuan stood up and said:

"Yaner, the main door here is broken, let's go somewhere else to take shelter first."

"Okay!"

Zhang Yan nodded quickly, then handed three spirit fruits in her hand to Chu Yuan.

"Brother Chu Yuan, these are what my father saved; you should eat them quickly!"

"These two green ones are called green fruit, they have the effect of restoring Yang and healing injuries. This red one is called red jujube, it can strengthen the body and will be useful to you."

"I... Yaner, these are Uncle Zhang's, I can't..."

Chu Yuan wanted to refuse, but then he saw her reach out and cover his mouth, saying seriously:

"Brother Chu Yuan, if it weren't for you, Yaner would probably be finished!"

"You saved Yaner; it's just three spirit fruits, it's nothing."

Chu Yuan hesitated in his eyes for a moment, then nodded, "We still don't know if there are other dangers, so I'll eat them first. Afterwards, I will apologize to Uncle Zhang."

Saying that, he swallowed two green fruits first.

Of course, these were not the two given by Zhang Yan; those two had been put into his primal origin space.

These were duplicated items, enhanced twice, that he had swapped out when Zhang Yan wasn't paying attention.

Even the red jujube he held in his hand was also a duplicated and once-enhanced item just now.

This was also the reason for his refusal: he had already duplicated them!

But upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, he had other ideas.

green fruit heals injuries?

red jujube strengthens the body?

Eating these three spirit fruits, it wouldn't be a big problem for his condition to recover by seventy to eighty percent, right?

As long as Zhang Xiangwen thought it wasn't a big problem, then it wasn't a big problem.

As for Zhang Xiangwen?

I've already saved your daughter, if there's a small problem, aren't you going to help explain it?

By then, with seventy to eighty percent of his condition recovered, he should be able to Cultivate, right?

Chu Yuan swallowed two green fruits, and a warm current converged towards the wound on his left arm, rapidly healing his injuries.

Even though it was only a first-grade spirit fruit, for an ordinary person like Chu Yuan, the effect was visible to the naked eye.

Feeling his injuries rapidly recovering, Chu Yuan quickly left Zhang's house with Zhang Yan.

At this time, the village was quiet, and even on the streets, no one was moving.

Those children under eight years old were all locked in their homes by their respective families.

Even children under one year old were sent to other homes to be looked after by slightly older children.

The two quickly arrived at Chu Yuan's home.

Chu Yuan closed the doors and windows, and moved the bed to block them, only then letting out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Zhang Yan suddenly asked, "Brother Chu Yuan, your body before?"

Chu Yuan's expression stiffened slightly; this question had finally come.

He turned to look at Zhang Yan, "Sister Yaner, I had a small encounter before, which is why I didn't die that night."

"When I woke up today, my body had almost recovered. Can you help me keep it a secret?"

Zhang Yan nodded quickly. Not knowing what she thought of, a blush crept onto her pretty face.

Then, she said with a firm voice, "Brother Chu Yuan, the three spirit fruits were what I actively found for you to eat when Iron Bull and the others broke down the door!"

Hearing this, Chu Yuan was slightly stunned.

He was originally thinking about how to persuade Zhang Yan to reverse the Karma of this matter.

He didn't expect this girl to proactively bring the matter out into the open!

He smiled, raised his hand and patted her head, saying with a laugh, "Thank you, Sister Yaner!"

Zhang Yan lowered her head, "Brother Chu Yuan, you saved my life, there's no need to be polite with me."

Her voice was faint, her earlobes slightly red, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Thanks are due!"

Chu Yuan smiled, pulled her to sit down, and continued, "Next, we'll stay here first and wait for Uncle Zhang and the others to return before we talk."

"Mm!"

Zhang Yan nodded.

Chu Yuan looked at the red jujube in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhang Yan:

"Yaner, what about this one?"

Zhang Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Brother Chu Yuan, I've already said you ate it!"

"Thank you, Sister Yaner!"

Chu Yuan nodded slightly in thanks, then swallowed the red jujube.

Afterwards, he only felt a scorching energy wildly coursing through his body, causing his expression to change slightly.

Chu Yuan's body instantly turned red hot, as if it was about to ignite.

"Brother Chu Yuan, are... are you alright?"

Zhang Yan noticed something was wrong and asked with a worried expression.

At the same time, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: Is it really different?

Her father had told her about the effects of red jujube, a low-grade spirit fruit; after consumption, such a situation would absolutely not occur.

"I'm... fine!"

Chu Yuan shook his head slightly, gritting his teeth and enduring the chaotic rush of the scorching power.

"I was too hasty!"

Chu Yuan secretly blamed himself.

He didn't expect that a red jujube enhanced once would have such a potent medicinal effect!

If he let this power run wild like this, wouldn't he be injured again?

But he didn't have a Cultivation Technique now, and he didn't know how to guide this power!

Just as Chu Yuan was anxious, a cool Qi suddenly appeared in his head.

That Qi instantly swept through his entire body, immediately suppressing the scorching power!

The scorching power was suppressed, scattering throughout Chu Yuan's body and being rapidly absorbed by it.

Before long, the cool Qi disappeared, and the scorching power also vanished without a trace.

Chu Yuan clenched his fist, feeling that his body's strength had at least doubled.

This feeling of being full of power made him unable to help but show joy.

"Thank you, Sister Yaner!"

In his excitement, he couldn't help but hug Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan's delicate body stiffened slightly, but she said nothing, allowing him to hug her.

A moment later.

Noticing something was amiss, Chu Yuan quickly let go, saying apologetically, "Sorry, Sister Yaner, I was too excited just now."

"It's nothing!"

Zhang Yan said softly, "Brother Chu Yuan, have your injuries completely recovered?"

"Mm!"

Chu Yuan nodded, raised his hand and tore off the cloth strip on his left arm, only to see that the original wound had already disappeared.

And there, only a faint scar remained, which couldn't even be considered a scar.

The skin there was tenderer than other places, it was newly grown flesh.

Perhaps in two days, it would be invisible.

Seeing this scene, not to mention Zhang Yan, even Chu Yuan himself was secretly surprised.

Where had he ever seen such a rapid recovery?

"How magical!"

Zhang Yan exclaimed, hinting, "This effect, I'm afraid, is almost comparable to the legendary spirit fruit, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Chu Yuan was slightly surprised.

But he saw Zhang Yan looking at him with a slight smile, her eyes seeming to glow.
