Chapter 2225 - 640: A Narrow Escape from Death (Part 3)
An Yiqing watched the three with heartache, took out some Spirit Spring and some elixirs, and fed them. After eating, the three little guys felt a warm current surge through their bodies, and their spirits were immediately rejuvenated.
Seeing them regain their energy, An Yiqing felt relieved and began to examine Xiao Hei’s body.
For the Four Divine Beasts, when their seals are not activated or just activated, their spiritual power is very unstable, and they have not yet developed a spiritual root. Without a spiritual root, if they get injured, they are even more fragile than ordinary people.
The spiritual root is the essence of the Four Divine Beasts. It’s like the heart and brain of a human; without them, a person would die. The same goes for the Four Divine Beasts; without a spiritual root, they would die. There are two situations where a Divine Beast has no spiritual root: one is when the seal has not been activated, and the other is when the seal has just been activated but there is no spiritual power.
In other words, Old Jin, Fatty Mao Er, and Xiao Hei have not developed a spiritual root in their bodies, so even if they are formidable, once severely injured, not even An Yiqing could heal them.
In this situation, it is necessary to infuse some Spirit Root Energy to maintain their bodily functions before treatment can be administered. Long Zixuan, the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon whose seal has been activated, is the one who can provide the Spirit Root Energy.
An Yiqing learned this from Old Tang, which is why she was so anxious when Xiao Hei got injured.
Now that Xiao Hei has the Spirit Root Energy, it basically means his life essence is preserved. The rest depends on An Yiqing’s medical arts.
Tang Zhifeng carefully carried Long Zixuan’s three little ones to the large bed in the guest room, allowing them a comfortable sleep. Under An Yiqing’s urging, he also went back to sleep.
An Yiqing was alone in the room, her head bowed as she stitched up Xiao Hei’s wounds.
With every stitch, her hatred for Jiang Xuerou deepened a little more. Initially, she wanted to leave the Jiang Family to Xie Xiaoran to handle, considering that the Sanfeng Association had just been reorganized and needed a warning example. Little did she expect that Jiang Xuerou would dare to harm Xiao Hei recklessly.
Intolerable!
The sun outside slowly rose to its peak, and An Yiqing finally finished the treatment.
She wiped her sweat away, took out some ointment, and gently applied it to Xiao Hei’s wounds. The small body was densely covered with stitches, and the scars looked like centipedes, making one’s heartache.
An Yiqing’s eyes reddened slightly as she meticulously applied the ointment, determined not to leave any scars behind on him.
After finishing everything, she carried Xiao Hei to the bed in the guest room, gently covered him with a small blanket, and then sat on the sofa beside him to rest her eyes.
Knock, knock, knock — The door was gently knocked at this moment, as if the person outside was afraid of disturbing those who were asleep, the sound was particularly cautious.
An Yiqing opened her eyes and went to open the door.
Outside the door stood Zhang Yufeng and An Zhifeng along with others, neatly lined up. After learning about the incident’s details last night, the Thirteen Blood Generals all rushed to Fengshui Street, surrounding Tang Zhifeng’s residence so tightly that not even a fly could get in.
They had guarded for an entire night until An Yiqing came out holding Xiao Hei, then followed her.
"Miss, how is Xiao Hei?" Zhang Yufeng craned his neck to look inside and asked.
"He’s stable now."
The Thirteen Blood Generals all breathed a collective sigh of relief, feeling reassured at last. Especially An Zhifeng, who always considered this incident his fault.
"Miss," he said, lowering his head as he approached An Yiqing, "this was my oversight, please punish me."
"What’s there to punish you for? It’s my fault as the boss for not thinking things through enough." She thought that after the matter with Lv Tian, Jiang Zirong would behave properly. Who would have thought that the two elders together still couldn’t manage one small child! The more An Yiqing thought about it, the angrier she became, emitting a cold aura.
An Zhifeng hung his head even lower, his sense of guilt growing larger and larger.
"You’re everyone’s big brother, why are you looking so downcast? We all share some blame in this; let’s learn from it. If you really want to be punished, then you’ll be responsible for Xiao Hei’s diet and daily care until he recovers."
An Zhifeng suddenly looked up, surprised, at An Yiqing.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you dumb?" An Yiqing chuckled angrily at his stunned expression, "Xiao Hei was seriously injured this time; if not for Zixuan returning in time, he probably wouldn’t have survived. Moreover, Zixuan’s three little ones exhausted their spiritual power to heal Xiao Hei. Since you want to be punished, you’re responsible for their diet and daily care too, until they fully recover."
