“Why do you bring this up?” Ling Yun asked Xiao Meimei instead. He looked down at her in his arms and his lips curled upwards.
Xiao Meimei’s heart was beating as fast as a drum as she buried her face into Ling Yun’s chest. She didn’t answer.
The s.e.xy and cool female a.s.sa.s.sin seemed to revert to an innocent sixteen-year-old as she realized that she had fallen in love for the first time in her life.
Ling Yun grinned. “Didn’t I tell you? Your whole being belongs to me. I will punish you more severely than this if you dare to even think about escaping.
“As for your question, let’s leave it for another time when we can sit comfortably on a bed discussing ideals and life…”
Although it wasn’t direct answer, Xiao Meimei was satisfied. A current seemed to run through her body, taking the pain from her wounds away. She melted in happiness and bashfulness.
Ling Yun reached Mansion Number One in no time and found Tie Xiaohu waiting for them in the living room.
Ling Yun glanced around and saw two new black hounds in the yard: evidence of Tie Xiaohu’s tireless hard work since Ling Yun had left.
Tie Xiaohu sprang up from the sofa as as soon as he saw Ling Yun das.h.i.+ng in with Xiao Meimei. “Big Brother Yun, you are here.”
Ling Yun placed Xiao Meimei on the cozy sofa careful. “Sit here and don’t move. Be obedient,” Ling Yun instructed Xiao Meimei.
Tie Xiaohu did not only bring the two dogs home. He prepared all the stuff Ling Yun had asked for earlier that day, including premium grade amulet paper, gravel, a dagger, an iron pot, and a pail.
“Call Tang Meng. Ask him to come here immediately. I will extract some dog blood now,” Ling Yun commanded Tie Xiaohu.
Tie Xiaohu was busy preparing the ink for the talismans as he called Tang Meng. Ling Yun took out the mystical brush when the ink was ready.
I need you to perform so that I can succeed. Please perform up to my expectations!
Ling Yun gave himself a confidence boost before his brush hit the talisman.
The spiritual energy in Ling Yun’s body automatically transferred to the mystical brush once the brush was in his hand. He focused and started drawing on the talisman.
He was still going for the Fire Talisman this time. He drew three up in no time.
“What is this?” Xiao Meimei asked in surprise.
Ling Yun adjusted his posture and smiled cheekily to Xiao Meimei. “You will know later.” He quickly went to the side of the mansion to search for a small tree with a thick branch.
Ling Yun squeezed the Fire Talisman as he activated the Picking Leaves and Flying Flowers Technique. He flicked the Fire Talisman gently onto the tree trunk before muttering, “Come!”
“Boom!” The Fire Talisman burst immediately into a red ball of fire the size of a basketball. It engulfed the tree trunk instantly, burning brightly for half a minute before it gradually extinguished itself.
“Crack!” The thick branch broke off before the fire burnt out, hitting the gra.s.s with a loud thud.
Success!
Ling Yun was overjoyed, Although the only change was the use of the mystical brush, there was such a huge improvement in power.
If the branch can be burned off, imagine what it can do to a person!
Ling Yun hurried back to the living room since there was no need to test the two remaining Fire Talismans.
He took a few deep breaths before drawing up six Healing Talismans.
The Healing Talisman, as the name suggested, had a profound effect on the recovery of normal superficial wounds.
The main reason why Ling Yun had been known as the Medical Sage in the Cultivation World was because he could treat both internal and external injuries effectively.
The treatment of internal injuries required the use of the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot, Five Elemental G.o.d Acupuncture, and the Five Elemental Vessel Seal. For the treatment of wounds caused by swords and other types of external wounds, he used the Water Talisman, Healing Talisman, Water Wood Talisman, and other such talismans. He always had a way.
Of course, once Ling Yun reached the Qi Cultivation level, he would even be able to concoct medication pills. The effect of that would be so much greater than the current methods he could use. However. since he was only at Physique Tempering Stage Level 3, he could only use talisman charms to treat Xiao Meimei.
Ling Yun stuffed the Healing Talismans hastily into his pockets before carrying Xiao Meimei into a random bedroom.
“Stand by yourself and endure the pain!” Ling Yun gave a gentle smile to Xiao Meimei and put her on the ground.
Xiao Meimei had only just managed to steady herself when Ling Yun placed the three talisman charms on the areas where the wounds were and commanded, “Come!”
Before she could even react, the talisman charms that Ling Yun had placed on her body disappeared. Her wounds felt cool. It was a vast departure from the hot pain that was just there a moment ago. There was no doubt: Xiao Meimei’s three wounds had been healed simultaneously!
“Oh my G.o.d!” Xiao Meimei let out a cry of surprise. She could not believe what had just happened to her. She could move her body at will again.
After half a minute, Ling Yun grinned. “Alright, let’s take off the bandages and see the results.”
Xiao Meimei’s eyes reflected boundless happiness as she removed the bandages from her shoulder that were hiding her wounds.
She could not help but to lower her head to see what had happened to her body. All she saw was a crystal clear right shoulder. It was as though the wound had never been sustained. On top of that, it was fairer and smoother than before!
“This…” Xiao Meimei was utterly dumbfounded. She pulled her black one-piece to reveal the places where she had sustained her injuries and took off the bandages. The results were the same as her shoulders: they were fully healed, with her skin condition even better than before!
“Ling Yun, are you a magician? W-what is happening?” Xiao Meimei did not hide her surprise. Her mouth hung wide open.
Ling Yun laughed. “These are Healing Talismans. They are used to treat wounds. It is a sure-fire way to heal an injury!”
“That is so mysterious. Unbelievable!” Xiao Meimei exclaimed, her eyes filled with adoration for Ling Yun. She wanted to kiss him.
How many more hidden skills does Ling Yun have up his sleeves? He always makes it seem so easy to breakthrough to new heights when it seems like he’s already reached his limits , Xiao Meimei pondered in awe.
“See, I was right. I did ask you bring a set of clothes for fighting, right?” Ling Yun said proudly.
“Then what are you waiting for? Bring them here for me, unless you want me to go out like this?” Xiao Meimei asked Ling Yun incredulously.
Ling Yun laughed. “Just go out like that, Didn’t you see how Tie Xiaohu didn’t dare to even glance at you?”
“No! That is his problem! I don’t want to walk out like this. It’s so embarra.s.sing!”
Xiao Meimei’s mood improved so much with her healed injury that she started to flirt with Ling Yun.
Ling Yun brought her clothes over and fled the scene back to the living room.
A loud roar right in front of the mansion announced the arrival of Tang Meng in the Hummer.
“Big Brother Yun, what happened?!” Tang Meng asked as he barged into the living room.
“Your sister-in-law has been kidnapped. I will be initiating the rescue mission soon. You will lead the way.” Ling Yun’s face became serious again as an icy cold murderous intent pierced through his eyes.
He knew what must have happened without asking. Since it was Qing Ming Festival, Zhuang Meifeng’s relatives knew she would definitely visit her grandpa’s grave secretly. They must have ambushed Zhuang Meifeng there. Xiao Meimei had resisted, but they had someone so highly skilled in their ranks that he or she could injure Xiao Meimei so badly.
The Zhuang Family and Sun Family had used Zhuang Meifeng’s filial piety to set this trap for her. There was no wonder why Ling Yun was so angry.
Ling Yun used the mystical brush to draw another twenty odd Healing Talismans and a lot more Fire Talismans.
“She was kidnapped? By whom? And which sister-in-law?” Tang Meng asked stupidly. Nonetheless, he was furious at the developments all the same.
Tang Meng automatically went through a few more sister-in-laws subconsciously and was confused as to whom had been kidnapped.
“Zhuang Meifeng!” Ling Yun replied without breaking pace.
At this point, Xiao Meimei appeared in the living room. She was dressed in a skin-tight black leather jacket and pants. Her long hair flowed down her enchanting body. Who would have guessed that she had grave injuries just a while ago?
The usage of the mystical brush required spiritual energy. Ling Yun put the mystical brush down when about one fifth of his spiritual energy was used up. He looked at the thick stack of Fire Talismans on the coffee table. A cruel smile was on his face.
Ling Yun divided the Healing Talismans and Fire Talismans between Xiao Meimei and Tie Xiaohu and instructed Tie Xiaohu to teach Xiao Meimei the method of using the talismans. Ling Yun dashed to the kitchen, turned on the tap, and used the tap water to clean the nib of the mystical brush. The brownish red nib turned white immediately as though it had never been used before.
“What a treasure…” He could not help but admire its extraordinary features every time he used the mystical brush. It did not even matter to him that the mystical brush used up so much of his Immortal Spiritual Energy and Dragon Spiritual Energy.
Tang Meng was pestering Tie Xiaohu for the Fire Talisman and Healing Talismans when Ling Yun emerged from the kitchen.
Ling Yun refused to give them to Tang Meng, smiling helplessly. “You can’t fight. Why would you need them?”
“Big Brother Yun, we are going to rescue my sister-in-law. Who said I cannot fight?” An aggrieved and indignant Tang Meng protested.
“Just bring us there today. The three of us will be enough for the fight. You don’t have to worry about the rest! You want the Fire Talisman, right? Here!” Ling Yun said.
Ling Yun dug out the ordinary Fire Talisman that he had made in the afternoon from his pockets and handed them to Tang Meng. “Do you know how to use them?”
Tang Meng slapped his chest proudly. “It’s so easy that anyone can use it! Isn’t it just throwing it at the target and shouting, ‘Come!’?”
Ling Yun nodded and said no more. He instructed everyone to prepare their own stuff and got into the car.
Tie Xiaohu was the last one in as he locked the door and the gate of the mansion. The Hummer roared as it left Mansion Number one.
Ling Yun looked over his mystical brush, leather pouch, Seven Pound Iron Nail, Fire Talismans, and Healing Talismans careful before wrapping his arm around Xiao Meimei’s bouncy waist. “Tell me, what actually happened? And where is my Land Rover?”
