Chapter 224 - 99 [The Talking Dead] (6400)_3
But as the blue flame rose, the dispersion of vital energy actually slowly stopped, being halted!
Chen Yan explained calmly, "This is Li Fire, also known as Ghost Fire! It’s most nourishing to ghostly beings. Although it can’t save her, it can still pull back a breath."
Ghost Fire? Nourishing to ghostly beings?
Chu Keqing suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She was startled and suddenly her body shook. Her hand was already held by Chen Yan, who pulled her back a few steps.
"Don’t rush, just watch," Chen Yan squinted his eyes -- in his heart, he wasn’t entirely confident either.
But as he said, this woman was practically already dead, so trying wouldn’t have any losses, even if it failed.
Chu Keqing had never seen such a spell—Cloud Sect Techniques were incomplete, and this world’s cultivation realm lacked mystical techniques. What Chen Yan was doing now was something she had never explored.
Instinctively, as Chen Yan pulled her hand back, she instead grasped Chen Yan’s hand tightly, staring at Luo Meifang lying on the bed.
A full minute later...
Luo Meifang, who was lying on the bed with blue flames on her forehead, suddenly opened her swollen eyes wide!!
This reaction made Chu Keqing jump in shock. Her eyes widened, instinctively letting out a cry, but reacted quickly, immediately shutting her mouth. The hand holding Chen Yan’s wrist unconsciously gripped harder!
Luo Meifang on the bed suddenly took a long breath, her chest heaving, as if breathing very strenuously several times.
Chu Keqing immediately bent down and quickly said, "Luo Meifang! Luo Meifang!"
"...ugh...ugh..."
"Do you remember anything? Can you remember anything? Who hurt you?" Chu Keqing quickly asked.
Luo Meifang’s body suddenly shook, trembling all over, her breathing increasingly rapid. Finally, her mouth suddenly made a hoarse, unpleasant sound. Though hoarse, the tone was full of extreme fear!
"Don’t, don’t eat me... you’ve already eaten him... don’t, don’t eat me..."
Her eyes had more white than black, breathing with difficulty. After struggling to utter this short sentence intermittently, the blue flame on her forehead finally burned out!
As the flames disappeared, her chest deflated, and after exhaling, her eyes closed again.
This time, when Chu Keqing used the Qi Observation Skill again, she saw that the vital energy above her head began to slowly dissipate again...
Chu Keqing: "......"
Although Luo Meifang woke up and spoke for just over ten seconds, Chu Keqing was utterly amazed!
This spell that made the dead speak, was truly an eye-opener!
Although there were various miraculous legends in the Mystical Art Realm, such an event happening right before her eyes was something she had never seen before!
Suddenly, Chu Keqing turned her head sharply, her brilliant eyes staring at Chen Yan, full of admiration!
She had started cultivation at thirteen, and her greatest pursuit in life was the quest for the Dao! Now seeing such a powerful expert standing beside her, performing miraculous spells she had never seen, making the dead speak, with such cultivation, such spells...
Chu Keqing even felt her legs quivering slightly!
I want to learn!
I must learn!!
Such immortal-like means, such a powerful person!
If I miss this, I wouldn’t be content even in death!!
Chu Keqing was still gripping Chen Yan’s hand tightly, staring intently at Chen Yan, her body trembling slightly, even her breathing turned somewhat rapid, her eyes sparkling as if she could devour Chen Yan on the spot...
Chen Yan felt uneasy being stared at by Chu Keqing like this, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "What she just said..."
At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door, and Xiaocai, the female assistant outside, quickly whispered, "Someone’s coming!"
Chu Keqing snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and slowly released Chen Yan, her cheeks still slightly flushed.
She promptly took a deep breath, walked to the bed to check on Luo Meifang, ensuring there was nothing unusual, then adjusted her breathing and walked to the door to open it.
In the corridor outside, Xiaocai was blocking Luo Shixin, saying something in a low voice. Seeing Chu Keqing open the door, Xiaocai immediately fell silent and slowly backed away.
Chu Keqing frowned at Luo Shixin, "Mr. Luo, what’s the matter?"
Luo Shixin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It’s nothing, I just finished talking with the doctor. I was about to come over and explain what the doctor said."
Chu Keqing nodded slightly. Seeing Luo Shixin’s eager eyes, she felt somewhat impatient, but still took a deep breath and said slowly, "There’s no need to relay the message; it’s better to hear it from the doctor directly, to clarify many things."
Luo Shixin paused, then quickly nodded, "That’s good too. Talking to the doctor in person is indeed the best. I’ll accompany you to see the doctor."
Chu Keqing didn’t answer, instead she looked at the assistant Xiaocai, "Xiaocai, you go with Mr. Luo to see the doctor. Remember the doctor’s instructions clearly."
Xiaocai immediately responded, while Luo Shixin looked a bit dumbfounded, "Ah, Miss Chu, you... you don’t want to hear what the doctor says?"
Chu Keqing said blandly, "Didn’t Mr. Luo also advise me earlier that Luo Meifang is not related to me, just a casual girlfriend of my third senior during his life... After thinking about it, Mr. Luo’s words made sense. I came here to show some goodwill, that’s all. It’s enough for my assistant to handle these things; I need not attend to them personally."
