The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 384: A thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh

During Lang Jiuchuan's slumber, several groups of people came, including Lang Zhengping. Fortunately, her breathing fluctuated noticeably; otherwise, if she had remained unconscious, he probably would have stayed by her side.

Lang Jiuchuan only woke up from his slumber after the list of successful candidates had been published and the top scholar had been paraded through the streets.

She sat up and looked around the room. It wasn't the Kaiping Marquis's residence, nor was it a room in the Wanshi Shop, but rather the side room she had stayed in when she was in Tongtian Pavilion.

Lang Jiuchuan blinked, recalling what she had vaguely seen while she was unconscious. He spread his hands, looked at his smooth, jade-like wrists, and withdrew all the spells that had enabled him to walk normally.

There were two faint marks on her wrist, almost invisible, and she could move her wrist normally. In other words, what she saw was not a hallucination, but someone had reconnected the tendons in her wrist.

Lang Jiuchuan looked at his ankles again, and was overjoyed. He got out of bed and walked forward.

puff.

She knelt down on the ground, her hands instinctively pushing against the ground.

After lying in bed in a coma for many days, she felt weak and her legs were even a little weak when she walked. But she still felt something different. This weakness in her legs was not the kind of weakness that would make it impossible to walk because her tendons and veins were broken. It was just that she was weak and not used to it.

Lang Jiuchuan looked down at herself and found that the bone bell was gone. She quickly looked around and saw the bone bell on the small table by the bed, but the three-inch tendon that used to hang from the bone bell had disappeared.

She immediately formed a hand seal and guided her spiritual energy to her third eye. This action surprised and delighted her.

Previously, she had fought with Zheng Yangzi with all her might, and her spiritual power had long been depleted, her vital energy was greatly damaged, and her essence was greatly depleted. But now, not only is her spiritual power abundant, but her physique is also stronger than before.

She used her primordial spirit to examine the meridians in her body. Those meridians were indeed more abundant in qi and blood and stronger than before. At her wrists and ankles, there was a small section of three-inch tendon connecting the severed meridians. The white, crystal-clear tendon emitted a fluorescent glow, nourishing the newly reconnected meridians and becoming one with them.

Such incredible skill.

Lang Jiuchuan sighed and simply guided the five elements of heaven and earth to circulate through his meridians, comprehending the Buddhist and Taoist essence he had seen before.

A spiritual aura lingered around her.

The water spirit emerged from the bone bell and rubbed against her knees, absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy.

As it inhales and exhales, the essence of water flows and surges into Langjiuchuan's five senses and skin, making her feel as if she is immersed in a clear, fluorescent mist.

Originally intending to complete only one full cycle, Lang Jiuchuan completed three. When she opened her eyes again from her reverie, the sky was already turning white, and she had a faint scent on her body.

Lang Jiuchuan cast a purification spell on himself before putting on his clothes. Then he picked up the bone bell and asked the water spirit, "Have you been inside the bone bell the whole time? Have you seen the person who restored my meridians?"

The water sprite remembered that terrifying man, bounced the water ball, and said, "I saw him."

Lang Jiuchuan's eyes lit up: "How does he look?"

"It's terrifying," the water sprite said with some fear. "I only glanced at it before running away. I was afraid it would make me disappear."

That person's aura was terrifying.

While fleeing by storming out is shameful, it's also a wise move to save oneself by being pragmatic and adaptable.

Lang Jiuchuan's face darkened: "You ran away?"

"Ah."

"So you just let him do whatever he wants to me?"

Shui Jing: "..."

"Do you want to see what kind of lewd things you're saying? With your looks, do you think you can let a man like that angel do whatever he wants to you?" The water spirit snorted disdainfully. "It's not that I'm underestimating you, but even when you're awake and still have your strength, he can still do whatever he wants to you."

Lang Jiuchuan raised an eyebrow: "He's very strong?"

“Very strong.” The water sprite drew a line out of its ball and said, “But there’s something a little strange about it.”

"Why is it weird?"

"Although it is very strong, it seems out of place here. I can't quite explain the feeling."

Lang Jiuchuan tapped the table lightly, seemingly lost in thought.

She picked up the bone bell, went out, came to the vermilion door, pushed it open and stepped over the threshold. What came into view was a room decorated in a very ordinary yet elegant manner, but she did not take another step forward. Instead, she looked inside, as if she could see through this illusion to see the person hidden behind the screen.

She gently pressed her hand against the palpitations in her chest and said, "The time isn't right yet, I understand, I'll wait for you. And thank you."

She solemnly bowed inside, then turned and walked out of the room. The vermilion door closed behind her, isolating her from everything. So she didn't know that behind the barrier, the man in the dark gold-trimmed robe was also quietly watching her.

The ghost general stood silently behind Fengya and said, "Master, you can't be willful anymore."

The soul power is constantly being activated; isn't that tantamount to exchanging life for life?

“I owed her from my past life.” Fengya sighed, turned around, sat back down in front of the Seven Star Soul Lamp, and murmured two words.

almost.

The ghost was pondering these two words. Did it mean he was about to see her soon, or that the soul lamp was about to complete its mission?
Seeing the fading soul power on his master, the ghost general silently lit two sticks of soul incense.

As soon as Lang Jiuchuan stepped out of the vermilion door, he saw A Piao rushing over with a look of terror on her face, as if she had seen a ghost, and demanding, "You went in?"

"Yes, I'd like to extend my greetings to the Pavilion Master," Lang Jiuchuan said with a smile.

"You saw him..." A Piao started to say, but stopped in his tracks under Lang Jiuchuan's ambiguous smile. This little rascal was trying to trick him again!

He gritted his teeth and said, "You're only peaceful and charming when you're lying in bed after your energy is completely depleted."

When his eyes are open, he's a demon with hundreds of schemes in his mind!

"Manager Piao, you flatter me." Lang Jiuchuan bowed to him and said, "I'm grateful for your and the Pavilion Master's care these past few days. However, why am I here instead of at the Wanshi Shop? Where is Jiang Che?"

"He serves as the guardian deity of the White Tiger in Langjia."

Lang Jiuchuan frowned: "What do you mean?"

Apiao's expression darkened, and she said, "You've probably forgotten what kind of person Zhengyangzi was in the Rong family. The Ren family has caused quite a stir. Not only has the Rong family gotten themselves into trouble, but they've also lost an elder who was among the top five and was about to enter the Foundation Establishment stage. How can they not be angry?"

He crossed his arms and said coolly, "They might not have cared much about the small fry sent by the Rong family before, but now that an elder who was close to the Foundation Establishment stage has fallen, it's like cutting off one of their arms. They will definitely not let this go."

"You know it was me?"

"There's no concrete evidence yet. But do they really need evidence? Regardless of whether it's you or not, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free, not to mention you've always been a thorn in their side." A-Piao said with a hint of schadenfreude, "So when they desperately needed an outlet for their anger, you were the first thorn in their side to be eliminated. To prevent the Rong family from going mad and causing collateral damage, Jiang Che naturally had to guard the Lang family for you, and also to prevent you from being assassinated while you were recuperating in your slumber, which is why he was moved here to rest."

Lang Jiuchuan turned and went back to the side room: "Tell me what happened after I fell into a coma."
