Yu Youhan shook her head and said, "This Heavenly Human Martial Exam is not only about the martial arts champion but also a microcosm of the struggle for destiny between the court and sects. If I intervened, it would truly be a disaster."
"Although Chen Mo’s actions can be absurd, he harbors pride and courage. Since he wants to win on his own merits, I choose to believe in him."
"Some matters between men should be resolved in a man’s way. If others interfere at will, it would be an insult to him."
Xu Qingyi nodded in half-understanding, feeling somewhat worried, she said, "But the injuries on Hundred Household Chen..."
"It’s just slight damage to the Divine Soul and some overdrawn Blood Qi. With Vitality Essence protecting him, his foundation is unharmed; some time to recuperate will suffice."
Yu Youhan squinted her eyes slightly, snorting coldly, "Letting him suffer a bit might be good. Who told him to flirt with girls all day? He showed up at a martial exam with four lovers, and he didn’t even spare the Daoist Nun from the Tianshu Pavilion! Such audacity!"
After the white-robed Director retreated, Yu Youhan calmed herself and continued to paint.
As the brush moved, two lifelike figures leapt off the paper.
One of the men was handsome and elegant, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth. It was Chen Mo himself.
He was holding a girl in his arms, hand grasping the lofty place, even the folds of the robe were vividly depicted.
But when it came time to draw the girl’s face, Yu Youhan hesitated for a long time before casually leaving a huge ink spot on her face.
"What Tianshu Pavilion; might as well rename it to Joyful Union Sect!"
"The disciple of that crazy woman is shameless like her!"
In the inner hall’s bedroom, Chen Mo lay on the Phoenix Couch, covered with a thin quilt, eyes closed in a coma.
Imperial Hospital Envoy Li Wanjun held Chen Mo’s wrist, and the white radiance flowed through, illuminating his muscles and veins clearly.
Li Wanjun uttered a light sound of suspicion, furrowing her brows.
The Empress standing by saw this and immediately grew nervous, quickly asking, "Li Yuanshi, is Chen Mo’s injury severe?"
Li Wanjun shook her head, "Your Highness, rest assured. Hundred Households Chen is merely physically overdrawn, with minor damage to the Divine Soul, and there is no other major problem. He’s having a sound sleep now. I will prescribe a formula for nourishing the soul and replenishing blood; after a few days of regulation, he will recover."
The Empress breathed a sigh of relief at these words.
Li Wanjun pondered, "However..."
The Empress’s heart tightened again, she frowned and said, "Li Yuanshi, can’t you say everything in one breath?"
"I was merely surprised. Hundred Households Chen has broad and tenacious meridians, round and translucent root bones, and even several acupoints are opened... I’ve practiced medicine for many years, and I’ve never seen such a good martial cultivator physique."
"When I took Hundred Households Chen’s pulse last time, it wasn’t ..."
Li Wanjun was somewhat perplexed.
Even with a fortuitous encounter, such drastic changes shouldn’t happen in so short a time; it feels almost like reshaping the body...
The Empress pursed her lips and said nothing.
She knew well that Chen Mo had a destiny blessing, tied to the Da Yuan’s Destiny, so any incredible serendipity occurring with him wasn’t surprising.
Subsequently, Li Yuanshi gave a few more instructions.
For instance, Chen Mo now needs rest; he must not experience large emotional fluctuations and should avoid fighting with others in the short term, be it men or women, and so on.
The Empress listened attentively, almost taking notes.
Upon hearing the last part, she hesitated and couldn’t help asking, "Li Yuanshi, last time you said Chen Mo’s Primordial Yang was stable; he hadn’t been with a woman for at least half a year... is it still the same now?"
Worried about being misunderstood, she added, "After all, Chen Mo is a martial arts prodigy with unlimited future prospects. I’m concerned it might affect his body. If something goes wrong, it would be a considerable loss to the court."
Li Yuanshi smiled and said, "Hundred Households Chen’s physique is beyond what it used to be. His Essence Qi is abundant, and Blood Qi is vigorous. Even if he engages in conjugal relations, his Primordial Yang can recover quickly, and even I can’t discern any changes now."
"But Your Highness is right."
"Hundred Households Chen’s body indeed needs regular regulation. Otherwise, excessive Yang Qi will not only affect his cultivation but also cause restlessness, affecting his judgment. If anything goes wrong in a fight, the consequences could be dire..."
The Empress’s expression turned slightly solemn.
The scene of Chen Mo fighting fiercely with Shi Yun in the arena was still vivid in her mind.
Moreover, as the Sky Scale Guard Guard Hundred Households, he often undertakes dangerous missions, and when masters clash, even a tiny difference could mean life or death!
Li Yuanshi continued, "Moreover, someone like Hundred Households Chen... ahem, with such conditions, belongs among men of men; a single girl might not suffice, not to say the more, the merrier, but he needs at least two or three taking turns to handle ..."
The Empress didn’t expect Li Yuanshi to be so straightforward, blushed instantly, feeling both awkward and embarrassed.
This little thief is so lustful, with no lack of pretty confidants around him, it shouldn’t be her worry...
After Li Yuanshi left, the atmosphere in the hall quieted down.
The Empress moved gracefully to the bedside and sat down.
By the flickering candlelight, she gazed at that handsome face, her almond eyes revealing complex emotions.
Recalling the image of him bearing immense Buddha Power, his body twisted and deformed, covered in blood, she couldn’t help but still feel a bit terrified.
"You little thief, I asked you to do your best, but I didn’t want you to risk your life!"
"Why push so hard, trying to scare people to death..."
