Chapter 246: Revisiting the Land of Apocalypse

As night fell, the moonlight from Baomo Garden shone through the window lattice onto the ground, making it seem exceptionally quiet. Li Yun's consciousness gradually regained consciousness from his drowsiness. He vaguely felt a warm power enveloping him. Although his body ached, a familiar comfort welled up in his heart. After a long sleep, his consciousness finally gradually cleared, and the scene before him began to become hazy and familiar.

"Where am I?" Li Yun wondered, trying to open his eyes, but his body felt like it weighed a thousand pounds, and he couldn't move. The flashes of time in his mind made him realize he was seriously injured, but at this moment, what he wanted most to confirm was the safety of another person. "Ling'er... Where is Ling'er?"

He struggled, repeatedly trying, and finally opened his eyes, his vision gradually becoming clearer. The soft lighting in the room created a warm atmosphere, and the bamboo in the corner swayed gently in the breeze, as if quietly waiting for him to wake up. At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Lu Linger asked her maid Xia Zhu to check on him. Xia Zhu peeked in and saw that he was awake, and her expression was instantly surprised.

"Master Li! You're awake!" Xia Zhu ran in excitedly, her eyes red as if she was crying with joy. "I'll go call the master right away!"

"Wait a minute..." Li Yun said weakly, trying to raise his hand to stop her. Although his voice was weak, his eyes showed strong anticipation, "I want to see Ling'er."

Xia Zhu was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded, understanding his thoughts, and quickly turned and left. Li Yun's heart was filled with longing. He knew that it was Lu Linger who accompanied and protected him when he was weakest, giving him warmth and hope.

Not long after, Lu Linger hurried over. The moment she pushed the door open, she saw Li Yun raise his head slightly. Although his face was still pale, there was a glimmer in his eyes, as if he was holding himself up in anticipation of her arrival.

"Mr. Li, you're awake!" Lu Linger was excited and immediately walked to his bedside, asking softly, "How do you feel? Does your wound still hurt?"

Li Yun shook his head gently and forced a smile, which, though weak, revealed tenderness. "I'm fine, I just... wanted to see you."

When Lu Linger heard this, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes. She knew that Li Yun had finally woken up after experiencing so much pain. It was a difficult rebirth for him. "I'm glad you woke up. Everyone is waiting for your recovery."

Li Yun stared at her, remained silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Ling'er... have you ever doubted my identity?"

Lu Linger was slightly startled, then shook her head and gently replied, "No, I just know that the toxins in your body have been cleared. Now you need to focus on recovery. Once you feel better, you can move around normally."

Li Yun smiled slightly, his eyes fixed on the window. He asked softly, "You haven't been to the Land of Apocalypse yet, right?"

Lu Ling'er's heart trembled, and she looked at him in surprise, a faint sense of unease welling up in her heart. Even she had almost forgotten the jade pendant and parchment map that opened the door to the Land of Apocalypse. They were found by her and her husband Gu Yichen from an ancient tomb while investigating Gu Yichen's life. Legend has it that the Land of Apocalypse concealed the secret of the dragon vein, but no one had ever found it.

"Mr. Li, how do you know... about this?" Lu Linger suppressed the shock in her heart and asked tentatively in a low voice.

Li Yun didn't answer directly. Instead, he smiled meaningfully. His eyes were deep and complex, carrying an unspoken meaning. "Ling'er, perhaps there is some kind of connection between you and me. Perhaps some memories are buried deep in my heart, and only gradually emerged when you appeared."

Lu Linger frowned in thought, her eyes filled with confusion. She had never seen such a mysterious patient before. It was as if his origins were shrouded in mystery. The closer she got, the more unknown it became. She had a vague suspicion, but didn't dare to ask further.

Li Yun seemed to see through her thoughts and said softly, "The secret of the Land of Apocalypse is not simply about wealth. If you really want to go there, be extremely careful—there are not only buried treasures, but also full of unknown dangers."

Lu Linger took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Li, who are you? If there is really a hidden secret, I am willing to keep it for you."

Li Yun stared at her, silent for a moment, and finally said lightly: "When I am fully recovered, I will tell you everything. Then you will understand why I am so concerned about the secrets of the Land of Apocalypse."
