Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage

Lin Feng moved gently and quickly, using tweezers to hold the thread ends and carefully cutting and pulling out the sutures one by one, keeping the scissors close to the skin.

The process inevitably involves the newly grown tender flesh, causing a slight stinging sensation.

Gu Yu frowned slightly, biting her lower lip gently, and didn't utter a sound.

Soon, all the sutures were removed.

Lin Feng took the jade bottle from Gu Yu and poured the tissue regeneration powder inside evenly onto the long wound.

Then carefully spread the ointment with a cotton swab.

My fingers inevitably brushed against Gu Yu's smooth back, the warmth from my fingertips mingling with the coolness of the ointment.

Gu Yu's body stiffened visibly for a moment, the skin on her back tensed instantly, and then slowly relaxed.

She could clearly feel the strength and temperature of Lin Feng's fingers. Although she knew Lin Feng was doing it on purpose, she didn't feel disgusted.

A strange tingling sensation shot up her spine to the back of her head, making her cheeks burn even hotter, her heart pounding like a drum, and she could almost hear the sound of her blood rushing through her veins.

She kept her eyes tightly shut, afraid to open them or move.

Lin Feng quickly finished applying the ointment, then covered the wound with new sterile gauze and secured it with medical tape.

"Alright." Lin Feng took a step back, his voice calm.

Gu Yu felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She immediately pulled up her slipped clothes and quickly wrapped herself up before letting out a long sigh of relief.

When she turned around, the blush on her face had not completely faded, and her eyes were somewhat evasive, not daring to look directly at Lin Feng.

This was the first time since she became an adult that she had such close and prolonged skin-to-skin contact with a man. Even though it was for healing, it still made her feel intensely uncomfortable and shy.

After getting dressed, Gu Yu composed herself, her usual cool demeanor returning to her face, but with a touch of gentleness in her eyes.

She said softly, "Lin Feng, can I buy something from you?"

"What should I buy?" Lin Feng asked, somewhat surprised.

"What's that white tape you use to stick gauze on?"

There's also that kind of pill that they gave me before, which can quickly bring down a high fever.

I feel they are all amazing, and sometimes they are very effective.

Gu Yu's tone was serious, filled with curiosity and acceptance of the unknown.

Lin Feng smiled: "I'll just give you some."

He turned around and pretended to rummage through the cabinet, but actually took out a small plastic bottle from his spatial storage containing dozens of ibuprofen tablets. He also took two rolls of ordinary medical tape and handed them to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu took the medicine bottle and the smooth roll of tape, which she had never seen before. A look of fondness flashed in her eyes, but she still shook her head and said, "You saved my life, and I haven't repaid your kindness yet. How can I take your things for free?"

"This medicine must be very precious to bring down a high fever so quickly. How much does it cost?"

Talking about money can damage relationships.

Lin Feng waved his hand, his gaze falling on the jade bottle of muscle-regenerating powder in Gu Yu's hand. "If you really feel bad about it... your muscle-regenerating powder is indeed very effective, we can exchange them."

Gu Yu's eyes lit up, and she quickly handed over the half-empty bottle of the skin-regenerating powder: "That's all there is left, you don't mind, do you?"

"no problem."

Lin Feng readily accepted the jade bottle.

He was indeed very interested in this muscle-regenerating powder. Its scar-free effect was valuable, whether for personal use or for future research.

After the exchange, Gu Yu held the bottle of ibuprofen and the two rolls of tape, but her expression suddenly became somewhat complicated.

She paused for a moment, seemingly trying to find the right words.

Finally, she raised her head and looked at Lin Feng, her eyes filled with reluctance and determination: "Lin Feng, my injuries have mostly healed. All that's left is rest. It's time for me to leave."

Thank you for your help during this period.

Lin Feng wasn't surprised and nodded: "It's alright. Erniu and I are business partners, so it's only right that I take care of our boss."

When Gu Yu heard him mention Zhao Erniu, she snorted softly, seemingly dissatisfied with the statement, but she opened her mouth without having the courage to speak.

She took a simple sachet from her waist, took out a jade pendant from it, and handed it to Lin Feng.

The jade pendant was lustrous and had a warm, elegant color. It was oval in shape, with the character "谷" (valley) engraved on the front in delicate yet subtly sharp strokes, and simple flowing cloud patterns on the back.

It's obvious at a glance that it's a cherished item that you carry with you and caress frequently.

"Lin Feng, we part today, and I don't know when we will meet again."

You can keep this jade pendant as a keepsake.

Gu Yu's voice was soft, but her gaze was fixed on Lin Feng's face. Her beautiful eyes seemed to hold a thousand words, yet they also seemed to be simply a farewell.

But the hint of expectation in the depths of her eyes betrayed the fact that she was not at peace.

Lin Feng took the jade pendant; it felt cool to the touch and had a delicate texture.

He glanced at the jade pendant, then at Gu Yu's seemingly expressive eyes, and paused slightly in surprise.

Then it dawned on me that this was no ordinary souvenir; it was clearly a token of love.

Or at least, it's a token of affection.

In ancient times, when a woman gave a man a jade pendant that she wore close to her body, the meaning behind it was self-evident.

When he saw Gu Yu's expectant eyes, it seemed she wanted to return the favor.

Lin Feng knew exactly what was going on.

Giving gifts to girls is easy; I have quite a few things in my space.

But what should we give as a gift?

Especially a cool and proud woman from the martial arts world like Gu Yu?

He subconsciously reached into his pocket, fumbled around for a moment, and found a delicate glass bottle in his hand, filled with a clear, transparent liquid.

This sample perfume that was a free gift from an online purchase has been sitting in a corner of my room ever since.

"This... is for you." Lin Feng handed the perfume bottle to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu took the bottle, her beautiful eyes widening instantly.

The transparent glass bottle refracts a dazzling light under the sun, and its shape is smooth and beautiful.

She had never seen such a completely transparent and exquisitely crafted vessel before; it was simply a masterpiece of art.

Her eyes immediately filled with undisguised admiration and amazement.

"It's so beautiful, what is this?" She handled it carefully, afraid of dropping it.

Lin Feng took the bottle, gently unscrewed the metal cap, and pressed the nozzle on top towards the air.

"laugh-"

A fine mist of water was sprayed out and quickly spread through the air.

A fragrance instantly filled the small room.

Gu Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath. "What kind of water is this? It smells so wonderful!"

"It's called perfume, do you like it?" Lin Feng asked with a smile, seeing her delighted expression.

"I like it," Gu Yu nodded, holding the perfume bottle tightly in her hand, reluctant to let go.

This gift, both in terms of the beauty of the bottle itself and the novel experience brought by the perfume inside, far exceeded her expectations and completely touched her heart.

Seeing Gu Yu's undisguised joy and the sparkle in her eyes, Lin Feng's heart stirred.

The girl's intentions were crystal clear.

Since both parties are interested in each other, it would be unmanly for me to be coy.

So Lin Feng didn't say anything more. He stepped forward, reached out, and naturally pulled Gu Yu, who was still admiring the perfume, into his arms.

"Ah!" Gu Yu exclaimed in surprise, her whole body instantly freezing.

Her cheeks turned bright red and hot at a visible speed.

She made a symbolic, slight struggle, placing her hands on Lin Feng's chest, but that strength quickly softened and eventually turned into submission, allowing Lin Feng to embrace her.

She could hear her own heart pounding.

Lin Feng lowered his head and looked at the blushing cheeks, trembling eyelashes, and alluring pink lips of the beauty in his arms. His heart warmed, and he wanted to kiss her.

However, at that moment, Gu Yu seemed to suddenly wake up, abruptly turning her head and forcefully pushing him away with both hands.

"Lin Feng...no," Gu Yu's voice was breathless and panicked, her eyes darting around;

"My parents haven't agreed yet, I can't do this." Her upbringing and modesty prevailed at this moment.

Seeing this, Lin Feng didn't insist and let her go.

He said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Alright, I'll come to your house to propose when I have time."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu's blush deepened, but she nodded gently, her voice barely audible: "Mmm..."

She gently stepped back half a step, tidied her slightly disheveled hair and clothes, and tried to make her voice sound calmer: "Although Lin Feng's injury was dangerous, it also turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me, allowing me to touch upon a bottleneck and an opportunity for breakthrough."

I must return to seclusion and cultivate in seclusion to break through to the Innate Realm.

"congratulations."

Lin Feng said sincerely.

Gu Yu is already at the peak of the acquired realm; if he could advance one more step, he would reach the innate realm.

That would be a qualitative leap.

"Will you participate in this martial arts examination?" Gu Yu suddenly asked, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Lin Feng's eyes darted around, and he deliberately shook his head: "I won't participate."

"Why aren't you participating?" Gu Yu was indeed a little anxious and couldn't help but ask, "With your strength and... those amazing methods, you have a good chance."

The martial arts examination was the only opportunity to gain better resources and experience.

especially..."

"Why participate?" Lin Feng asked casually. "I think things are fine as they are now."

"This..." Gu Yu was taken aback by his question and didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

"Are you going to participate?" Lin Feng asked, looking at her.

"Yes, I will participate." Gu Yu nodded, her eyes firm. "Only by entering the top ten will we have the opportunity to access more core information and receive the best resources from the entire court."

This is the path I have to take.
