Mushroom Man

Blood-washed mushroom!

With a flick of his sleeve, Wu Liang sent a gush of blood toward Ao Miaoyin.

Anyone else would instinctively flinch at the sudden spray of blood.

Ao Miaoyin's trust in Wu Liang had reached the point where even if he were to stab her with a knife, she would still think that Young Master Wu was joking with her.

In Ao Miaoyin's view, if Young Master Wu wanted to harm her, he had countless opportunities to kill her, and there was no need for her to dirty her hands.

Moreover, Young Master Wu risked his life and bore the burden of guilt in order to save her.

Under these circumstances, Ao Miaoyin firmly believed that Young Master Wu would never harm her.

Therefore, she didn't try to avoid him, but simply watched Young Master Wu quietly.

Then she was enveloped in blood, which then rolled over her...

In an instant, all the dirt and stench on Ao Miaoyin's body were swept away.

However, this is not the end!

Wu Liang also used Blood Pool Mushrooms and Blood Recovery Mushrooms, consuming a full 40-50% of the essence blood in the Blood Pool to replenish Ao Miaoyin's qi and blood.

Semen and blood are different from ordinary blood.

The essence blood in the blood pool was refined and purified from the blood of mushroom beasts and dragon people he slaughtered.

These essences and blood are extremely precious and can be called top-grade blood-derived mushroom materials.

Four or five tenths of the essence blood is enough to cover the losses in refining three or four Blood Path Mushrooms.

Now, Wu Liang, for Ao Miaoyin's sake, didn't even blink an eye and consumed all of her essence blood.

This shows just how much he valued Ao Miaoyin.

Of course, this wasn't because of love.

The only reason is that Ao Miaoyin is of great use to him, and he can't let her die accidentally because of her health problems.

As the essence and blood were injected into Ao Miaoyin's body, her complexion improved at a visible rate.

It won’t take long…

Ao Miaoyin's pale face regained some color, though she still looked somewhat sickly.

The minor injuries sustained during the fall have also been completely healed.

In no time, Ao Miaoyin, who had been in a sorry state, had recovered to about 70-80%.

Only her long, pale hair and somewhat withered, dull skin indicated that she was in poor condition.

"Young Master Wu, why are you doing this?"

"Miaoyin is already a cripple, she's not worth all this effort from you..."

Seeing that her complexion had returned to normal and she had shaken off her disheveled appearance, Ao Miaoyin felt not happy, but rather even more guilty and ashamed.

In her view, such a powerful recovery method must come at an extremely high price.

Otherwise, Young Master Wu would have taken it out back in the Dragon Palace long ago, why wait until now?

Clearly, Ao Miaoyin was unaware that these tricks were nothing to Wu Liang.

She only knew that Wu Liang was a Blood Path Mushroom Master, but she didn't know that Wu Liang possessed the foundation of a Blood Path Mushroom Immortal.

If it were someone else, trying to reverse Ao Miaoyin's condition and help her replenish her qi and blood would likely require a great deal of effort and a considerable price.

For Wu Liang, it was just a simple matter, requiring only the consumption of some Blood Path Mushroom materials.

When he was in the Dragon Palace, he did not do his best to save Ao Miaoyin, simply because he did not want her to recover too quickly, thus affecting the Silver Dragon King's investment in him.

Of course, Wu Liang himself would never reveal these things.

Sometimes, misunderstandings can be a good thing.

For example, Ao Miaoyin, due to a misunderstanding, has come to regard Wu Liang as a relative who is more important than her own life, just like the Silver Dragon King.

"It doesn't matter..."

"I promised Lord Silver Dragon King that I would take good care of you."

"Therefore, no matter what, even at the cost of my life, I will protect you and never leave you."

Wu Liang withdrew the blood, feigning great exhaustion, his face pale, and spoke with a faint smile.

Seeing this scene, Ao Miaoyin felt even more heartbroken, and her gaze fell on Wu Liang's face.

She saw no pity or disgust, only genuine and profound concern.

It was this genuine concern that made it hard for her to breathe.

“Young Master Wu, you have a better future ahead of you.” “You don’t need to waste your entire life on a good-for-nothing like me just because of a favor.”

"I don't want to be a burden to you, I don't want to drag you down."

At this point, Ao Miaoyin pursed her lips, her tone deliberately cold.

"You and I are just... friends who have a very pleasant conversation."

"Young Master Wu, there is no need for you to sacrifice your life and your future for me."

"Now that our father is dead, we have also left the Dragon Palace."

"From now on, we should all go our separate ways."

"Young Master Wu, please let me go. If you keep taking me with you, I'll be a burden to you until you die..."

Ao Miaoyin's words seemed to have been prepared for a long time.

Having said it all in one go, she felt much relieved.

She genuinely didn't want to be a burden to Wu Liang.

The better Wu Liang treated her, the more she wanted to leave.

In an instant, the atmosphere became extremely oppressive...

Wu Liang remained silent for a long time, not uttering a sound.

Ao Miaoyin pursed her lips, understanding the torment in Young Master Wu's heart at this moment.

She didn't urge him verbally, but simply waited silently for a reply.

About three to five breaths later...

Wu Liang then spoke in a hoarse voice, breaking the silence.

"Miaoyin, I will not give up on you."

"This is not only because of Lord Silver Dragon King's entrustment and trust in me."

"Even more so because... I like you."

Upon hearing this, Ao Miaoyin couldn't help but slightly part her lips and narrow her pupils.

Wu Liang raised his head, looked calmly at Ao Miaoyin, and said, "You and I are not just friends who have a pleasant conversation."

“Lord Silver Dragon King, no, my father-in-law has already betrothed you to me.”

"You are now my wife, and I am your husband."

"It's my duty to take care of you and protect you; no one can interfere or stop me."

“I will not allow you to leave. You are not a burden to me, but my most important family member now.”

Wu Liang paused here, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes.

He gave a bitter laugh and said, "Miaoyin, do you know?"

“My parents passed away one after another when I was young, and my only sister was also killed by villains. I have never had a relative who is truly good to me since I was a child.”

"And you and my father-in-law are the best people to me in this life. I have long regarded you as the most important family members in my heart."

"Now, like me, all the important family members around us have left, leaving only you and me, relying on each other for survival."

"I've already lost so much, I don't want to lose you too."

Even if the road ahead is bumpy, so what?

"As long as you and I are of one mind, our strength can break even metal. What burdens or difficulties can we possibly face?"

"So promise me you won't leave me... okay?"

Although Wu Liang's words were a little cheesy, they were full of sincerity and hard to refuse.

Husband and wife united in heart...

The most important family members...

Ao Miaoyin's mind went blank, filled only with the heartfelt voice of Young Master Wu.

Looking into Wu Liang's earnest eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Ao Miaoyin remained silent for a long time, then took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

The next moment, she actually reached out and touched Wu Liang's face, and softly spoke...

"Alright, since my husband won't let me leave, then I won't leave and will follow his arrangements."

"As long as my husband doesn't mind, Miaoyin will stay with him until the end of her life, when her soul returns to the Yellow Springs..." (End of this chapter)
