Chapter 72 Jin'er
Chapter 72 Jin'er
However, when Lu Jinyan glanced at Ruohan's weight, she noticed that Ruohan had actually lost weight, presumably due to the bloodletting. She felt a little touched. He should have been recuperating properly now that he was safe, but because of her, he had been injured again!
Thinking of this, Lu Jinyan interrupted the system's frantic activity and asked, "System, is there any medicine that can treat my injuries? Get me some, I'm in so much pain!"
"Host, this is another piece of good news I have for you: the system can upgrade! How about that? Aren't you happy? Surprised? Unexpected? After the system upgrades, the system shop will also be upgraded, and then you'll have everything you want!"
The system's eyes lit up; she was genuinely happy. She had been eagerly anticipating this for days, and finally, she had accumulated enough points to level up.
"Really! This is really good news, so what are you waiting for? Go upgrade now!" Lu Jinyan jumped up with genuine joy this time.
After the system upgrade, she was able to buy repair pills for Chu Chu. After this incident, she was even more determined to let Chu Chu cultivate, not for any other reason than to protect herself!
"Alright, host!" the system cheered and then began the upgrade process!
Seeing the system panel suddenly go black, with only the words "System Upgrade in Progress..." displayed in large letters, Lu Jinyan realized she had forgotten to ask the system how long the upgrade would take.
However, it was too late now, so she had no choice but to exit the space and patiently wait for the system upgrade to succeed.
As soon as Lu Jinyan left the space, Chu Chu pushed the door open and entered. Seeing that Lu Jinyan was awake, Chu Chu skipped over and said, "Yanyan, you're awake! How are you? Are you feeling any better?"
"Hmm, much better, Chuchu, can you help me out for some fresh air?" Lu Jinyan had been lying down for two days, or rather, three days, because it was already afternoon today, and she felt like her back was about to break.
"No, no, Sect Master Kang said that Yan Yan's injuries are very serious and she must rest in bed and not run around!" Chu Chu shook her head like a rattle-drum and quickly refused.
"...Is it really that bad? I feel much better. I've been lying here for so long, my bones are almost falling apart. Going out for a walk will help me feel better. I won't go far, just a short walk near the door will be fine!" Lu Jinyan felt that Chu Chu and the others were being a little too anxious. She felt that she really was much better.
But Chu Chu resolutely refused her, because she didn't know what state she was in while she was unconscious. She was vomiting blood, talking nonsense, and trembling all over; her appearance terrified everyone.
Sect Master Kang even used the sect's secret medicine to barely stabilize her condition. Just kidding, those were all talismans drawn by powerful beings. Even a great demon with a cultivation level of ninety might not be able to destroy them all. Yet she, a nobody with a cultivation level of only ten, destroyed all the talismans in the dungeon in one go.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have been burned beyond recognition, leaving only a skeleton. It's a miracle that she only suffered from swollen and red hands, coughing up blood, and falling into a coma.
Lu Jinyan wanted to try again, but when she saw Chu Chu's red eyes, she gave in and could only lie on the bed resignedly. Ruohan brought her dinner, but Lu Jinyan's hands were wrapped up like rice dumplings, so she couldn't eat.
So Ruohan personally fed her. Looking at Ruohan's serious profile, Lu Jinyan thought to herself, "If this person were raised properly, he would definitely charm countless young girls."
After dinner, it was time to take her medicine. Lu Jinyan was a good girl and didn't want others to worry, so she obediently drank her medicine. But when she took a sip, she frowned again.
"Young Master Ruohan, has Chuchu said anything to you?"
“Miss Lu, you can just call me Ruohan. Chuchu told me about it, but your current injury…” Ruohan wasn’t stupid; he understood what Lu Jinyan meant. He was very worried about her injury. Although he knew his blood might not be effective, he still wanted to try.
"Alright, Ruohan, then you don't need to call me Miss Lu anymore. Just call me by my name, or something else. It sounds awkward to keep calling me 'Miss'!"
“Okay, Lu… Jin’er, may I call you Jin’er?” Ruohan asked with a hint of anticipation.
"of course can!"
After Lu Jinyan finished speaking, she glanced at Ruohan and said, "My injuries are so severe that even if you drain all the blood from your body, it might not be of any use. I know you are worried about me, but don't worry, I am much better now. Your body was already damaged, and if this continues, your body will not be able to take it."
I don't want you to become even weaker because of me. I rescued you not so that you would repay me. I just want you to be well and live well. If something happens to you while I'm saving you, then all my efforts will have been in vain.
All these injuries I've suffered have been for nothing! So listen to me, don't bleed anymore. If you do, I'm going to get angry!
Looking at Ruohan's thin face, Lu Jinyan felt moved but also a little heartache. She thought to herself that she would have to ask the system to get some medicine for Ruohan later.
It wasn't that she didn't trust other doctors, it's just that she felt the system's doctors would be better. Besides, she wasn't stupid to not use the system!
"Okay, I'll listen to Lu... Jin'er." Ruohan looked up at Lu Jinyan with a smile on her face.
"Okay! It's settled then!" Lu Jinyan smiled.
Lu Jinyan didn't really care about Ruohan's way of addressing her. Whether it was Jin'er or Yan'er, as long as she wasn't called Miss Lu or Young Lady Lu, it was fine. This could be considered her first step in getting closer to the two of them.
"Oh, by the way, Ruohan, this is for you. It's a gift to thank you for taking care of me these past two days. I just picked it up off the street, so please don't mind it!"
Lu Jinyan laboriously took a pair of mandarin duck stones from under the covers and handed them to Ruohan. Her hands were wrapped up like rice dumplings, making it very inconvenient for her to move. Seeing this, Ruohan quickly took the small red stone from Lu Jinyan's hand.
"Thank you, Jin'er, for not minding it. How could I mind! This little stone is so pretty!"
After Ruohan finished speaking, she put the little stone into her arms, then cleared away the dishes and left. Lu Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally started her conquest. Her favorability rating should be 13 now. She was really not used to the system not being around.
After leaving, Ruohan returned to his room, took out the small red stone from his pocket, and in an instant, the stone disappeared from his hand. Then he felt a warm current flowing through his body.
Ruohan looked at her hands in surprise. The small stone had disappeared and entered her body? But Jin'er said it was just an ordinary little stone. How could this be?
