Morning...
When Wang Dongâer opened her eyes, she was stunned to discover that she had slept from the previous dayâs evening to todayâs morning. She had not slept so sweetly in a very long time. Although she was still feeling a little fatigued, she felt much refreshed.
She looked at the man beside her close up. He was still in a deep sleep, and didnât look like he was about to wake up any time soon. His heartbeat was still very calm.
Wang Dongâer carefully checked on his condition. After ascertaining that he was fine, she pecked his cheek and got up. After washing up, she began to help Huo Yuhao clean up.
She washed him up before gently massaging his muscles. After that, she changed him into clean clothes.
Huo Yuhao couldnât eat anything. Before Elder Xuan left yesterday, he had left a bottle of pills behind. He had asked Wang Dongâer to feed Huo Yuhao. These pills had been created using more than ten types of valuable ingredients, and would be sufficient to replenish his body.
After Wang Dongâer retrieved the bottle of pills, she placed one of the pills into her mouth before kissing him, and transferred the medicinal fluid into his mouth with her tongue.
Her face was red. For an inexperienced young lady like her, this was too embarrassing. However, there was a determined look in her eyes. As she thought of how Huo Yuhao was ready to give up his life for her, she put her embarrassment aside. Iâm his future wife, whatâs there to be shy about?
After finishing this, Wang Dongâer went out to eat. After eating, she returned to Huo Yuhaoâs side and entered deep meditation.
She finally managed to enter deep meditation this time.
---
She changed Huo Yuhaoâs clothes twice a day, fed him medicine and massaged him thrice a day. She also washed his body twice a day. When night fell, she stopped meditating and just slept beside him.
Elder Zhuang came to check on Huo Yuhao twice a day, as promised. Huo Yuhaoâs physical condition seemed to be recovering faster than expected. The medicinal effect that was maintaining his life was very strong, and it lasted for a long time, too, enabling his internal injuries to heal quickly. Elder Zhuang told Wang Dongâer to talk more to Huo Yuhao so that he would wake up faster. Once he woke up, he could control some of his soul power, and his body would heal even more quickly.
Night fell, and Wang Dongâer continued laying beside Huo Yuhao.
She caressed his face and muttered into his eyes, âYuhao, Iâm Dongâer. Iâve seen the medicinal herb that you brought back. Where did you find out about my injury? Do I really have an internal injury? I didnât even know! Yuhao, I miss you so much. I really want to hear your voice. Youâll get better. No matter what, Iâll be by your side to take care and wait on you...
âWill you wake up? Youâve been sleeping for too long. As long as you wake up, Iâll promise you anything. Even if you want to get intimate with me, I wonât object to it. Iâll let you hug me to sleep every night, okay? Isnât that what youâve always wished for? From today onwards, Iâll accompany you like that to sleep. Iâm already your wife. This is my responsibility!
âIn fact, do you know that Iâm very willing to sleep with you? I feel especially safe when I sleep with you. I feel very comfortable...
âYuhao, wake up. I really miss you. I really, really miss you.â
As she finished speaking, Wang Dongâer was already sobbing a little
She opened Huo Yuhaoâs mouth and looked at his throat. It was completely scarlet-red, as if his flesh were squirming and growing. The medicinal herb Wang Qiuâer had given him had a very strong healing effect on his injuries.
Elder Zhuang had also commented that it was a miracle when he saw it. Perhaps the magical herbâs strength could restore Huo Yuhaoâs voice.
When Wang Dongâer saw Huo Yuhaoâs throat, she started wailing. He must be in a lot of pain! He was so deeply in love that he had swallowed boiling water so that he could spit out blood that wasnât frozen.
Even Wang Dongâer didnât know when she fell asleep. When she was sleeping, her tear stains were still on her face.
---
The days slowly passed. Wang Dongâer took good care of Huo Yuhao. In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Huo Yuhao was still sleeping.
Huo Yuhaoâs injuries had already healed after ten days. Even his burned hands and vocal cords had been restored. His heartbeat also became stronger. Everything was progressing well.
The tournament was approaching, but Huo Yuhao hadnât awoken yet.
Wang Dongâer was crying less and less these days. She became calmer as Huo Yuhaoâs body slowly recovered. She was content to wait on him every day. She would talk to him for at least an hour every day and gently called his name to wake him up.
It was now only a month to the tournament. The rest of Shrekâs Seven Monsters were stepping up their preparations and cultivations. Without Huo Yuhao as their main control-type soul master, it was going to be an arduous task to become champions in this tournament. The inclusion of sects changed everything. They were going to meet much stronger opponents!
Wang Qiuâer also came to visit Huo Yuhao a few times. Wang Dongâer didnât stop her from doing so. On the contrary, she hosted her very passionately.
Every time Wang Qiuâer came, she didnât speak. She only stood by the bedside and looked at Huo Yuhao for a while before leaving silently.
Wang Dongâer could see the sadness in her eyes. However, some things couldnât be shared. She pitied Wang Qiuâer, but there was only one Huo Yuhao. He was her man!
---
Another five days passed. Huo Yuhao had been back for half a month, and his injuries had already healed. Only the two waves of soul power were still conflicting in his body.
Wang Dongâer didnât dare to use her soul power to help him recover. She was worried that it might be counter-effective. She would rather he recovered slowly than take a risk.
Huo Yuhao had grown slightly fatter after lying down for the past fifteen days. The medicinal effect was pretty good. Wang Dongâer fed him his medicine through her mouth every day before giving him some water. Huo Yuhaoâs body stayed in good condition under her care.
---
Evening. It was time for her to speak to him again.
âYuhao, did you know? I ate two buns tonight. So many, right? Iâm afraid that Iâll grow fat.â Wang Dongâer lowered her head as she spoke and looked down at her slim waist.
âTodayâs canteen food was especially delicious. Donât worry, Iâll take care of myself. For you, I wonât harm my body anymore. When you wake up, Iâll let you see a healthy Dongâer. Will you be very happy because of this? Iâll let you see a prettier Dongâer.â
Wang Dongâer continued speaking with a smile on her face, âDid you know? Sometimes Iâm not in a rush for you to wake up. The past few days have been fruitful for me. I love waiting on you. You were the one taking care of me all this while. You were also the one who cleaned our dorm room. Itâs my turn now. I know youâve sacrificed a lot for me over these few years. However, you didnât know I was a girl back then. You really are a fool! We were living together for such a long time, but you didnât realize. Come to think of it, I still want to mock you for that.
âOh right, eldest senior and the rest have been cultivating tirelessly. However, everything is affected greatly because youâre not around. Furthermore, I canât compete because you are in this state. I told eldest senior that Iâd be staying behind with you, and he agreed to my request. We are all representing the Tang Sect this time. Eldest senior said that Na Na can be our first substitute. Sheâs quite good. We can also make up our numbers by asking someone else from the sect.
âIt would be great if you could wake up though! Even though you canât compete, everyone will still be in good spirits with your support.
âOh, right. I havenât fed you your medicine. Iâll talk to you after feeding you.â
Wang Dongâer retrieved a bottle and placed a pill into her mouth. As usual, she fed him through her mouth.
She was used to it after half a month. She used the tip of her tongue to force Huo Yuhaoâs teeth open before pressing her tongue against his. It was easier that way.
Everything progressed very smoothly as usual. However, she felt a slight touch on her tongue as she tried to pull it back.
She was stunned for a moment. Following this, she understood what was going on and quickly hugged Huo Yuhao. She continued to reach her tongue in and touched the tip of his tongue again.
Wang Dongâer was trembling slightly in agitation. Was he about to wake up?
However, his tongue had stopped moving. Wang Dongâer didnât garner any reaction even though she used her tongue to touch the tip of his again.
Was it a false feeling? Wang Dongâer was unconvinced! When she retracted her tongue, she looked slightly disappointed.
She turned around and gently rubbed at the tears that flowed from her eyes. Yuhao, when are you going to wake up?
At this point, a weak and hoarse voice sounded behind her, âAgain⦠kissâ¦â
Wang Dongâerâs body stiffened. In the next instant, she turned around and saw a pair of dull eyes. However, those eyes were looking at her gently!
