Chapter 173 Bone Forging

"What is there to regret?"

"I'm worried that *you* will regret it! In any case, just let it be for these few days!"

If Protagonist Lin Tian was taken care of, he naturally wouldn't need to worry about anything anymore.

By then, he could play however he wanted!

Upon hearing Jiang Chenfeng's words, Su Yanran naturally didn't continue to insist, obediently snuggling into Jiang Chenfeng's embrace.

It was already incredibly fast for the relationship between the two sides to have made such great progress!

It wasn't such an easy thing to just pierce through the window paper all at once.

...

Hotel suite.

Standing at the door, Luo Chanyi and Chu Qingzi couldn't help but reveal solemn expressions and worried gazes upon hearing the shrill, miserable screams coming from inside the room.

"Master! I can't take it anymore!"

"Ahhh! I can't stand it!"

"I feel like I'm about to die, please let me go! Ahhh—"

Lin Tian's screams became increasingly shrill, as if he were enduring inhuman torture.

Luo Chanyi's expression was serious, and she said in a grave tone: "Could something have happened to Lord Dragon King? Should we go in and check? What if something goes wrong?"

Chu Qingzi reached out to stop Luo Chanyi and shook her head: "Even if we go in, it's useless. You've seen just how strong that Elderly Person is!"

"When he appeared here just now, none of us noticed how he actually appeared. It's evident that his strength has reached an unimaginable level."

"According to my estimation, even if all six of us great assassins attacked together, we probably wouldn't last two moves under him!"

Luo Chanyi clenched her fists: "Then who exactly is he? Could he be planning to harm Lord Dragon King?"

"Probably not!"

"Why do you say that?"

"If he wanted to kill Lord Dragon King, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble! Furthermore, Lord Dragon King seems to know him; otherwise, he wouldn't have let us leave just now!"

Chu Qingzi continued: "Also, this Elderly Person said he wanted to help Lord Dragon King recast his root bones. If that's truly the case, once the root bones are successfully recast, it will be of great benefit to Lord Dragon King's future!"

"As the saying goes, when heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on any man, it will first exercise his mind with suffering, and subject his sinews and bones to toil. Lord Dragon King suffering a little now is to ensure he can go further in the future, so we absolutely must not interfere without authorization!"

While Luo Chanyi and Chu Qingzi were talking.

From inside the room came Lin Tian's miserable wailing again: "Master! I won't recast them anymore, I beg you to let me go! I really can't take it, it's too painful!"

Master Xu Gu said in a deep voice: "If you can't even endure this little bit of pain, how will you accomplish great things in the future? Do you know that just now, when I came from your junior brother, he was still pleading with me to help you recast your root bones!"

"Your junior brother is thinking of you so much, yet you can't endure even a little bit of pain. Are you worthy of your junior brother? As a senior brother, don't you feel ashamed?"

"What did you say?! It was Jiang Chenfeng who begged you to come and help me recast your root bones? This bastard, he's deliberately harming me, he wants me dead!"

Lin Tian suddenly realized and cursed loudly: "Jiang Chenfeng, I, Lin Tian, will never share the same sky as you! You thousand-knife-slashing bastard, I will definitely make you suffer ten times, a hundred times the pain!"

"Look at you, as a senior brother, how do you have no perspective at all? Your junior brother is entirely thinking of you, yet you aren't even a little bit grateful to him. Originally, I wanted you to suffer a little less pain, but now it seems I must make you suffer a bit more. Prepare to accept your master's full-force strike!"

"Don't, don't, don't! Master, don't! No—ahhh! I'm going to die!"

Hearing Lin Tian's miserable screams, Luo Chanyi really couldn't endure it anymore and wanted to rush in to stop it.

Just from Lin Tian's screams, she could feel what kind of pain Lin Tian was experiencing!

Chu Qingzi hurriedly reached out to block her, stopping her: "You can't go in! The matter is already underway. If you go in to stop it, wouldn't that mean Lord Dragon King's suffering was all for nothing? Do you want Lord Dragon King to let all his previous efforts go to waste?"

"If you go in now, you will only harm him; it won't be of any help to him! Wait honestly. Once he gets through this ordeal, Lord Dragon King will benefit infinitely in the future!"

Luo Chanyi pursed her lips tightly, wiping away tears as she said: "I know, I know all of that! But Lord Dragon King is truly too miserable; I really can't bear to listen to it anymore!"

Chu Qingzi gritted her teeth and said: "Do you think I can bear to listen to it? But we must endure it. No matter what, we cannot let Lord Dragon King's previous efforts go to waste, otherwise the pain he is suffering now would have been for nothing!"

The two continued to wait for a few minutes.

When the sound in the room gradually faded, Master Xu Gu opened the door and said to Luo Chanyi and Chu Qingzi: "Go fetch two buckets of cold water; my disciple has passed out!"

"Passed out? Do we really need to splash him awake if he has passed out? There's no need for that, right?"

"Yeah! If he's passed out, he can suffer a little less pain, don't you think, Senior?"

Master Xu Gu said with dissatisfaction: "During the process of recasting root bones, he cannot fall into unconsciousness. Do you people understand anything at all?"

"But..."

"Forget it! Since you are unwilling, I will use my own method to wake him up! Originally, I wanted him to suffer less pain, but it seems some methods are unavoidable."

Without waiting for Luo Chanyi and Chu Qingzi to speak, Master Xu Gu turned and returned to the room, closing the door behind him.

"Ahhh—"

Soon, Lin Tian's pig-like screams came from inside.

"Kill me! Master, I don't want to live anymore, hurry up and kill me!" Lin Tian roared weakly, completely exhausted.

"It's come to this point, how can you beg for death? Even if you want to die today, it will be difficult. I must make you recast your root bones, even if it makes life worse than death!"

The screams came out one after another, making Luo Chanyi and Chu Qingzi's delicate bodies tremble.

It lasted for a full ten minutes before the sound gradually faded inside.

Chu Qingzi let out a long sigh of relief and guessed: "It seems it's over! Lord Dragon King has finally made it through; there surely won't be any more obstacles in the future!"

Click!

The door opened.

Master Xu Gu walked out with a guilty conscience and asked cautiously: "Do you have any Bone-Knitting and Tendon-Connecting Pills on you? I forgot to bring them when I left home. If you have any, give them to me quickly; my disciple is waiting to use them!"

"What?"

"How could we possibly have those Bone-Knitting and Tendon-Connecting Pills? You didn't prepare anything, how could you..."

Luo Chanyi and Chu Qingzi were slightly stunned for a moment, then immediately turned pale with shock.

They were both in a panic.

This old man is indeed unreliable!

"Ahem! A mistake, a mistake! A small mistake. You watch him, I'll go find medicinal herbs and refine another one!"

After saying this, Master Xu Gu immediately disappeared.
