"The most important thing for you right now is to rest well and recover from your injury."

We can discuss the rest once you've recovered.

Upon hearing this, a faint blush appeared on Gu Yu's pale face, somewhat mitigating her sickly appearance.

She seemed to only then belatedly realize her current predicament: she was naked, wrapped only in gauze, lying on the bed of a man who was practically a stranger.

Even with her aloof nature, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this moment.

She gently pulled up the thin blanket covering her body, covering her shoulders, and her voice was even lower than before, "Young Master Lin... I wonder if you could prepare a change of clothes for me?"

This is really inconvenient.

Lin Feng didn't think that much about it. "You have so many wounds on your body. They were just stitched up and bandaged. Moving around too much could cause them to burst open."

I should just lie down and rest to recover; getting dressed and undressing is too much trouble.

I don't usually get many customers here.

Gu Yu knew that Lin Feng's words made sense, but ultimately felt that it was inappropriate.

"Before I lost consciousness, there should have been a jade bottle in the purse of my clothes. Did Young Master Lin see it?"

Lin Feng recalled for a moment and nodded: "I saw it, it was placed together with your sword."

What's wrong?

"The jade bottle contains 'Muscle Regeneration Powder' and 'Qi-Restoring Pill'," Gu Yu explained. "The Muscle Regeneration Powder, when applied externally, has a remarkable effect on healing wounds and will not leave scars."

"Taking the Qi-restoring pills internally will help me recover some of my internal energy, at least enough to protect myself and prevent me from becoming a complete burden to you, young master."

In the end, she spoke earnestly, clearly unwilling to be a complete burden.

"No scarring? That's a good thing." Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, showing some interest in the muscle-regenerating powder.

For martial arts practitioners, especially women, medicine that can promote healing without leaving obvious scars is indeed precious.

"Wait here, I'll go get it."

Lin Feng turned and left the room, heading to the woodshed that was being used as a storage room.

Gu Yu's blood-stained, tattered outfit and sword are both placed here.

He pulled out a small, plain jade bottle with a warm, smooth feel from the hidden pocket of his outer garment.

Once the cork is removed, a clear and delicate medicinal fragrance wafts out, instantly invigorating the senses.

"Good stuff," Lin Feng praised, then re-corked the bottle and returned to his room with the jade bottle.

Gu Yu took the jade bottle and, with some difficulty, poured out a pale blue pill the size of a soybean, with some light powder on it. It was the "Qi-restoring pill".

She put the pill in her mouth and swallowed it without drinking water.

As soon as the pill entered her stomach, she immediately closed her eyes and concentrated, guiding the remaining weak internal energy within her body to neutralize the medicinal effects.

A moment later, a faint trace of color seemed to return to her pale face, and her breathing became slightly stronger.

She opened her eyes and looked at Lin Feng again, her gratitude deepening: "Thank you, Young Master Lin."

"It was no trouble at all." Lin Feng waved his hand, then remembered something and asked, "By the way, it doesn't seem appropriate to keep calling you 'Big Boss'."

I haven't asked yet, how should I address you?

"Young Master Lin may call me Gu Yu," Gu Yu replied.

She naturally had no need to hide the name of her savior.

"Guyu... Hmm, a good name, I'll remember it."

Lin Feng nodded and asked again, "What would you like to eat now? I'll go prepare it."

Gu Yu was indeed hungry at this moment, and urgently needed to replenish her strength after being seriously injured and losing blood.

She wasn't picky and said softly, "Whatever you arrange, young master, as long as it's simple."

"Okay, you rest first, I'll go get something to eat."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he turned around and went to the small kitchen in the back.

Watching Lin Feng's departing figure, Gu Yu leaned against the headboard, her eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.

She noticed something was wrong with her body when she woke up.

Not only were her wounds properly treated and bandaged, but what surprised her even more was how quickly she regained consciousness from that near-death coma, and how quickly her high fever subsided.

"Young Master Lin, what kind of miraculous medicine did you give me?"

She pondered to herself.

She knew perfectly well how deep and severe the wound on her back was; even ordinary wound medicine and her own herbal muscle-regenerating powder would take time to stop the bleeding and promote tissue regeneration.

After Lin Feng treated the wound, not only did the bleeding stop, but the redness and swelling at the edges also decreased significantly. The refreshing healing sensation was something she had never experienced before.

"The medicine he used had extremely peculiar effects."

Taking advantage of Lin Feng's absence, Gu Yu endured the pain, carefully turned to the side, and meticulously applied the milky white muscle-regenerating ointment from the jade bottle to the relatively shallow wounds on her arms, shoulders, and back that she could reach.

For women, loving beauty is innate, and they certainly don't want to have ugly scars on their bodies.

As for the severe back injury, we can only wait until the wound has healed a little before using the muscle-regenerating powder.

Lin Feng stood in the kitchen, unsure of what to cook.

After thinking about it, he simply took out a sealed jar of eight-treasure porridge from his spatial storage.

I warmed it with hot water and poured it into a rough porcelain bowl, and it looked quite presentable.

When he brought the porridge back to the room, Gu Yu had already lain down again, and her complexion was a little better than before.

"Have some porridge first, to fill your stomach." Lin Feng handed over the bowl.

Gu Yu thanked him, took the bowl, and used a small spoon to scoop up a spoonful and put it in her mouth.

The porridge is soft, sweet, and fragrant, with the natural aroma of grains and beans, and the temperature is just right.

She took a few bites, a slight look of surprise on her pale face: "This porridge is a little sweet."

Young Master Lin, you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?

This smooth texture and rich flavor cannot be achieved in a short time.

I was still somewhat moved.

Lin Feng remained expressionless: "Pretty much. Eat more if you like, there's more in the pot."

"Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Lin."

Gu Yu responded softly and continued eating in small bites.

After swallowing the hot porridge, a warm current spread throughout her body, making her feel much more comfortable and invigorating.

However, at that moment...

"Knock knock knock..."

Suddenly, there was a rapid and forceful knocking at the gate.

Gu Yu's hand holding the spoon tightened slightly, and her eyes, which had just relaxed, instantly sharpened, flashing with an instinctive wariness and worry.

She looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng remained relatively calm.

He gestured to Gu Yu to calm down and whispered, "Don't panic, I'll go take a look."

"Lie still and don't make a sound."

"Young Master Lin, be careful." Gu Yu lowered her voice.

She was still recovering from serious injuries and had almost no fighting ability. If the attackers were pursuers, Lin Feng would have to face the danger alone.

Lin Feng nodded and gave her a reassuring look.

He quickly went to the outer room, and on a whim, a submachine gun appeared in his hand.

open the door.

Outside the door stood five men of varying heights, all exuding a chilling aura.

They all wore wide straw hats with the brims pulled low, covering most of their faces.

All five were dressed in matching dark gray outfits, with either a knife or a sword hanging at their waists. They exuded a weathered yet sharp and menacing aura, clearly not to be trifled with.

The leader, the tallest of them all, slightly raised his bamboo hat, revealing a pair of cold eyes, his voice low and hoarse:

"Hey kid, did you see an injured woman pass by?"

A very pretty woman wearing light blue clothes.

Lin Feng nodded repeatedly: "I saw it. Last night in the middle of the night, it looked like a figure climbed over the wall and gave me a fright."

Upon hearing this, the five men's eyes lit up simultaneously, and their imposing aura intensified.

The leader pressed on, his tone urgent: "Where's the woman? Tell me now!"

Lin Feng looked at the undisguised greed and murderous intent in their eyes and sneered inwardly.

His face showed fear, and he even took a small step back, stammering, "Dead."

"Dead?" All five were taken aback, but they didn't doubt it; it was reasonable for someone with such severe injuries to die.

They chased him all the way.

"Where's the body?!" With a clang, the leader drew his gleaming goose-feather saber from his waist, the tip of the blade subtly pointing at Lin Feng, the threat unmistakable.

If Lin Feng's answer has even the slightest flaw, this knife will probably come down immediately.

Lin Feng seemed startled, frantically rummaging in his pocket, and said in a panic, "The body was taken away by the charity."

However, I found this in her.

As he spoke, Lin Feng took out his white jade token.

"The White Jade Token!!"

The five of them gasped almost simultaneously, their eyes beneath their straw hats flashing with an uncontrollable, burning greed.

Their ultimate goal for this trip is right before their eyes!

Seeing the opportunity, Lin Feng flicked his wrist and threw the white jade token towards the group of five.

"mine!"

"Get out of here!"

Almost the instant the token was released, the brief alliance of the five collapsed.

The man with the knife at the head reacted the fastest. With a shout, he rushed forward like lightning and snatched the white jade token that was still in mid-air.

After succeeding, his eyes flashed with a fierce light. Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his knife backhand, the sharp blade sweeping like a bolt of lightning towards a companion blocking his retreat.

The companion seemed completely unprepared for his sudden attack. Blood spurted from his neck as he clutched it, staring incredulously at the knife-wielding man before slowly collapsing to the ground.

The man with the knife didn't even glance at his fallen companion, nor did he care about the other three. He stomped his foot on the ground, used his lightness skill to dash towards the alley entrance, and disappeared around the corner in a few leaps.

The remaining three were both shocked and furious. They disregarded Lin Feng and the corpse on the ground, and immediately used their movement techniques to chase after the direction in which the man with the knife had disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, only Lin Feng and a corpse still twitching slightly and bleeding profusely remained at the courtyard gate.

Lin Feng slowly straightened up, the fearful expression on his face had disappeared, replaced by a smile.

"Tsk, that's really efficient. The White Jade Token is truly a good thing."

Once the person had completely stopped breathing, the black lotus appeared, and the corpse vanished instantly.
