As the words fell, Feng Huang held a dagger and it danced upon Xu Fan's clean neck.

Under the sunlight streaming through the window, the dagger's cold light gleamed ominously, making it clear that if Feng Huang made her move, Xu Fan's head would fall.

"Is this fun for you?"

Xu Fan sighed at this moment, turning his head to look at Feng Huang.

This indifferent demeanor somewhat bored Feng Huang.

"Really annoying, can't you just pretend to be scared..."

She pouted, and suddenly, the dagger in her hand began to sway!

The cold glint flashed, and the bandages tied around Xu Fan's chest were all slashed off, revealing the wound hidden underneath.

"..."

Although the external bandages had prepared her mentally, Feng Huang still frowned upon seeing the extent of the injury.

It was as if she were reminded of those past days, when this man had stood in front of her, taking on serious wounds; the frivolity on Feng Huang's face disappeared briefly, leaving only solemnity.

"Knowing that you have medical skills, I only prepared this much medicine."

From her bosom, she took out a bottle of medicine and carefully sprinkled the powder inside onto Xu Fan's wound.

With complete trust in Feng Huang, Xu Fan was not worried about any issues with the medicine in her hands, letting her treat his wounds.

"Alright."

"From here on, it's up to you."

Having applied the medicine, Feng Huang took a breath and then stood up straight.

"Where are you going?"

Her manner suggested she was about to leave.

Having just had his medicine applied, Xu Fan didn't dare to move too much and asked from where he sat on the bed.

"Hmm? Are you going to miss me?"

Hearing Xu Fan's voice, Feng Huang turned her head, giving him a glance.

She blinked and said with a smile, "Oppa, maybe, we'll have the chance to meet again~"

Having said that, Feng Huang directly left the sickroom.

Lying on the hospital bed, Xu Fan pondered the sentence she left with.

"Maybe we'll meet again? Could it be, there's a possibility, that he and she might never see each other again?"

"What is this woman hiding from me?"

...

Taking seriously the task Xu Fan had entrusted to him, it took Han Dongxu only two days to bring the medicinal ingredients that Xu Fan had asked him to prepare.

With these resources, Xu Fan began to treat his own injuries.

Essentially, he managed to stabilize his condition.

Although he could walk around now, he was afraid he couldn't use Innate Qi Energy until his injuries completely healed.

He calculated carefully and estimated it would take about a month.

Xu Fan harbored no complaints about this.

Counterpulse Yin Yang, Li Xiaochen at the peak realm confronting him—being able to leave Floating Mountain Island alive was already a stroke of great luck.

With the help of Li Xiaochen's Innate Blood, not only did the Jade Silkworm survive, but it also seemed to have improved.

The little creature now appeared more lustrous, clearly having gained strength.

Xu Fan looked at the Jade Silkworm, figuring that once his injuries were completely healed, he could similarly improve by using the four pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade he had gotten from Li Xiaochen.

During these days of recuperation, Xu Fan hadn't been idle—he had been comprehending the sword moves recorded by Li Xiaochen.

The Sword Moves and Sword Intent recorded in the secret manual carried by Li Xiaochen were far beyond Xu Fan's expectations.

Even Xu Fan estimated that Li Xiaochen hadn't fully grasped the essence of the Nine Heavens Sword Technique.

The primary reason for his unparalleled swordsmanship was the Yanluo Sword in his hand.

"I wonder where Li Xiaochen got this Nine Heavens Sword Technique from..."

Lying in the hospital bed, Xu Fan murmured as he looked at the secret manual in his hand.

The more he pondered over these past days, the more he realized how profound the sword technique was.

Such moves were beyond Li Xiaochen's comprehension; if it wasn't stumbled upon by chance, then it must have been handed down by his master.

"It seems I must keep some tricks up my sleeve."

Whether it was the newly acquired Yanluo Sword or the Nine Heavens Sword Technique, Xu Fan felt it was best to use them sparingly, unless necessary, to avoid bringing disaster upon himself.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, there was a ruckus outside the door; Xu Fan set aside the secret manual and got straight out of bed.

Worried about encountering unnecessary trouble, Han Dongxu had still arranged for some people from the bar to come over these past few days, in order to ensure that Xu Fan's recovery wasn't disturbed by others.

The commotion outside suggested that something might have gone wrong...

"Hehe, Xu Fan, I have finally found you, haven't I?"

Before he could even leave the room, the hospital room door swung open, and a group led by Ke Longxiang entered with a menacing look.

Clearly, the Ke Family had traced the breadcrumbs from Floating Mountain Island and discovered that Li Xiaochen had died at Xu Fan's hands.

"Tsk tsk, to bump into Young Master Ke even in the hospital, what's the matter? Are you here to peel the skin?"

"You!"

Facing direct personal attacks upon the meeting, Ke Longxiang glared furiously!

Only now did the family realize something was amiss.

After sending people to investigate, they shockingly found that Li Xiaochen, who was supposed to have joined Xu Fan, was already buried under a mound of yellow earth!

This was clearly a successful ruse by Xu Fan, and Ke Longxiang had been fooled until now—how could he not be furious?

"Xu, you're really quite cunning."

Having had someone unexpectedly come help him, only for him to turn out to be an inadvertent traitor who directly led to his death, Ke Longxiang clenched his teeth and started cursing at Xu Fan.

If only he had realized this earlier, Li Xiaochen wouldn't have needed to die. On top of that, with Li Xiaochen added to his own people, Xu Fan wouldn't have had the chance to be in the hospital!

He would have been sent straight to the crematorium!

"Hmph, don't think that, without Li Xiaochen, my Ke Family can't handle you."

"Xu, today, I'm going to have a good game with you."

Having lost a strong warrior out of the blue, Ke Longxiang felt a pang of pain in his heart.

But his gaze turned to Xu Fan's hospital attire, and he began to smile again.

Although he didn't know who exactly had sent that guy to help the Ke Family, by the looks of it, he had made a worthy contribution, and his death was not in vain.

"What? Young Master Ke, are you planning to start a fight in the hospital?"

Obviously wary of not being able to beat him, Ke Longxiang still brought a good number of people as he hurriedly came to find Xu Fan's whereabouts.

Among them, there were even one or two inner strength experts.

With his current injuries, resisting would likely put him at a disadvantage.

"Hehe, Xu Fan, don't you know that I, Ke Longxiang, have always done as I please?"

Ke Longxiang's chilling gaze drifted over to Xu Fan.

He was very familiar with the concept of kicking someone when they're down.

Now that Xu Fan was severely injured, he had to seize this opportunity with both hands!

Never mind anything else; today, he intended to help loosen Xu Fan's muscles a bit!

"Xu Fan, today I've brought quite a few brothers to help with your recovery. Tell me, are you happy?"
