Chapter 138: Nan Yue Ran’s Transformation
Bai Chen and the others did not break Song Xiyan’s thoughts.
Fang Yu continued to chatter as he pulled Song Xiyan along.
“It’s such a coincidence! I didn’t expect to meet you here. My master has told me so many stories about the Song family!”
Upon learning Fang Yu’s identity, Song Xiyan felt intrigued.
However, her mind was still lingering on the meal she had just eaten.
Why did the ordinary ingredients taste so delicious?
It was far better than the expensive ingredients she had eaten at high-end restaurants!
Was it because she was too hungry, or was it Bai Chen’s cooking skills?
Song Xiyan couldn’t figure it out, and she remained puzzled even after she left.
After Song Xiyan left, Song Ziwen’s phone started ringing.
“Xiyan, did you see Mr. Bai?”
Upon hearing her grandfather’s words, a smile appeared on Song Xiyan’s face.
“I’ve seen him, Grandpa! He’s so young; I thought he was the same age as you!”
“That’s great! You must remember what I said, listen to Mr. Bai; he won’t harm you. You absolutely must not offend Mr. Bai!”
“Grandpa is getting old and cannot serve Mr. Bai, so you must help him more. Mr. Bai has granted our Song family a second chance!”
“You could say that without Mr. Bai, there would be no Song family, the top family in the capital today!”
Hearing Song Ziwen’s words, Song Xiyan pouted.
“But Grandpa, he’s so young. Is that really true?”
“Xiyan, when have I ever lied to you? Just remember what I said.”
After Song Xiyan hung up the phone, she fell into deep thought.
Since her grandfather had assured her so, it meant Bai Chen was indeed extraordinary.
Perhaps she had been deceived by Bai Chen’s youthful appearance.
……
After Song Xiyan left, Bai Chen waved to Fang Yu nearby.
Just now, Song Xiyan brought a batch of herbs containing spiritual energy, perfect for helping Fang Yu stabilize the redness on his face.
Bai Chen took out a mountain ginseng rich in spiritual energy and handed it to Fang Yu, cutting it into small pieces as well.
“Hold this piece of mountain ginseng in your mouth while I perform acupuncture on you.”
Fang Yu complied and placed a piece of mountain ginseng in his mouth.
A unique earthy taste rushed into Fang Yu’s mouth, mixed with a hint of sweetness.
The juice from the mountain ginseng root contains rich spiritual energy.
As Fang Yu held the mountain ginseng in his mouth, Bai Chen quickly applied three silver needles to his head.
Then, Bai Chen guided his energy into Fang Yu’s body, leading the spiritual energy from the mountain ginseng to flow within him.
Before long, the redness on Fang Yu’s face started to glow faintly.
Bai Chen narrowed his eyes at the sight.
He realized that this was not an ordinary birthmark; it needed to be stimulated by spiritual energy.
After a moment, the shape of the redness seemed to change, increasingly resembling a phoenix with its wings spread.
However, at that moment, Fang Yu let out a sharp scream and then fainted.
Bai Chen quickly pulled out the silver needles and examined Fang Yu’s condition.
When he discovered that Fang Yu had merely fainted and wasn’t seriously hurt, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Could it be that postnatal energy can’t heal? Does it require innate energy?”
Bai Chen frowned slightly.
Fang Yu’s redness reminded him of the Fire Phoenix clan from ten thousand years ago, but that was a demon clan, while Fang Yu was human!
It was said that the Fire Phoenix clan possessed the power of the ancient true phoenix, which was comparable to his Ancestor Zombie Bloodline.
But Fang Yu’s condition left him puzzled; he didn’t know much about the Fire Phoenix clan.
“If postnatal energy won’t work, then Fang Yu must speed up his martial arts training, and strive to embark on the path of cultivation. Perhaps when he awakens innate energy, it can help him.”
After helping Fang Yu with a few needles, he gradually woke up.
“Master, what happened to me?”
“Nothing serious. It seems that the redness on your face cannot be dealt with for now. I will think of a solution later.”
Fang Yu felt a bit down upon hearing this, but then he seemed to remember something and said,
“Master, I think I had a dream while I was fainting!”
“A dream?” Bai Chen looked at Fang Yu in confusion.
Fang Yu scratched his head, frowning tightly.
“I think I saw a red phoenix flying in the sky.”
“And I seemed to be that phoenix!”
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered between clarity and confusion, leaving Bai Chen puzzled about what this meant.
“I understand, but I can’t solve the current condition of your body for now. My advice is to accelerate your training, and I will provide you with some resources to help you cultivate later.”
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, Fang Yu nodded.
Meanwhile, Bai Nian Nian finished school again, and Bai Chen personally went to pick her up to go home.
……
Nan Yue Ran returned home and looked at the time on the clock hanging on the wall.
It is now five-thirty in the afternoon, and it’s almost time for Bai Chen and Bai Nian Nian to come back.
“I’m so tired…”
Nan Yue Ran lay on the sofa and let out a long sigh.
The Zijin Garden project was bustling with activity.
As a martial artist, she worked more efficiently than ordinary workers, so she joined in the project.
After a busy day, even though she was a martial artist, she still felt sticky all over.
Sweat droplets trickled down the delicate lines of her white neck, falling onto the sofa.
The roots of her hair were already soaked, but the rest of her hair remained dry.
This made her hair cling tightly to her scalp, which was very uncomfortable, but she felt helpless about it.
She hated that feeling.
Nan Yue Ran stared blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.
In the corner of the off-white ceiling, there seemed to be a spiderweb, and a small spider sat quietly on it.
The golden sunlight streamed in from the window, casting patterned golden stripes on the wall.
This reminded her of the afternoons in her childhood when she saw similar scenes in her room.
Nan Yue Ran felt very hot, but she couldn’t tell if it was from exhaustion or from the tightness in her chest.
She reached out and unbuttoned her top, then loosened the two small buttons on her brown sweater.
As she released her chest, she felt much of the heat dissipate.
However, the soaked fabric on her back stuck to her skin and made her uncomfortable.
Instinctively, she shrugged her shoulders to separate her skin from her clothes, using her elbows to support her body.
But this position soon made her shoulders feel numb. Instead of sitting up to avoid the fabric, she simply lay back on the sofa, pressing down.
The ceiling in her sight began to warp, and the golden stripes on the wall slowly became blurred.
“When will Bai Chen be back?”
Looking at the cup on the coffee table beside her, Nan Yue Ran thought of how Bai Chen often used that cup to drink water.
In the corner lay Bai Nian Nian’s toys that she had tossed aside; Bai Chen would sometimes play with Bai Nian Nian.
The kitchen door was still open, and Nan Yue Ran seemed to see Bai Chen’s figure inside cooking…
Slowly, the temperature in Nan Yue Ran’s body began to rise, and the scene in front of her grew more and more fuzzy.
Creak—
The front door opened, and Bai Chen came home with Bai Nian Nian.
When Bai Chen saw Nan Yue Ran’s condition, he was taken aback and immediately rushed over.
“Yue Ran, what’s wrong! Wake up!”
