I long to return home!

With the nourishment of this wisp of yang energy, it can last for at least seven days, but after seven days, a way to repair the heart must be found.

Knowing Lei Mengying's personality, Xue Wu realized that possessing her body was impossible. He pondered for a moment, unaware that his body was becoming emaciated from the prolonged depletion of his yang energy.

"Among the memories inherited from the Void God King, there are records of spiritual medicines that can repair the physical body, but these medicines grow in the God Realm and are almost non-existent in barren places like the mortal realm." At this moment, Xue Wu's eyes gleamed, as if he had thought of something. "Since such spiritual medicines exist, there must be pills with similar effects!"

Although Xue Wu only had a few experiences with alchemy a few hundred years ago and couldn't recognize all the elixirs in the world, he did have a treasure book that recorded the art of alchemy.

A dark purple light flashed on the storage ring on his finger, and an ancient book fell into Xue Wu's hand. This book was an ancient alchemy manual from the Su family of Saint Pill City.

After searching through the yellowed pages of the book for a long time, I finally found a pill that could repair the body and regenerate severed limbs. Although it did not record in detail that it could repair the heart, something was better than nothing. Since it was recorded that it could repair the body, it must be able to repair the heart.

"Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill".

Xue Wu's gaze sharpened, and soon a look of surprise appeared on his face. By sheer coincidence, the most crucial herbs for the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill were in his Void Storage Ring.

Closing the ancient book, Xue Wu's expression darkened. "Melting Life Grass." He took a step, and a gap suddenly tore open in the void in front of him. After the gap closed, Xue Wu's figure was gone.

Unbeknownst to them, at that moment, a faint purple light emanated from Lei Mengying's chest inside the room. Purple lightning, like fine threads, surged from the shattered heart enveloped by the power of Yang, connecting the broken heart like a bridge.

Three days later, the void shattered again, and Xue Wu returned home covered in blood, clearly having gone through a considerable battle. "The Fusion Grass guarded by a hundred demonic beasts only amounted to two branches."

He strode to the small courtyard next to the house, and a giant cauldron flew out of his storage ring and landed on the lawn. Then, Xue Wu waved his hand holding the Fusion Grass forward, and all the other herbs in the storage ring flew into the cauldron.

Fortunately, Xue Wu had some basic knowledge of alchemy, and the Su family's ancient books also had detailed and profound records of alchemy; otherwise, Xue Wu might have ended up recruiting a high-level alchemist.

With a flick of his finger, the void dragon flames rose within the cauldron. His hands moved in unison, breaking down the essence of the herbs step by step, and then blending it with other herbs.

The alchemy process requires complete concentration. Four days is a short time, but it is enough. After all, the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill is not considered a high-grade pill, and the essence of the Void Dragon Flame Herbs was quickly extracted.

Xue Wu gripped the blood-red pill with three spiritual patterns tightly and instantly appeared inside the house. Looking at Lei Mengying, whose vitality was growing stronger every day and who was now no different from an ordinary person, he was not surprised. Instead, he took off the latter's clothes without any hesitation.

Now that Lei Mengying is in a deep sleep, she certainly cannot take the pill orally. Xue Wu chose the most direct method, sending the pill directly into her heart through the wound, and then using his Yang energy to activate the medicine.

A bone-regenerating and blood-melting pill the size of a quail egg was sent into the heart. Xue Wu then activated his Yang power, but little did he know that Lei Mengying's shattered heart had already been restored and was now trembling slightly while surrounded by purple lightning.

Zi Lei shattered the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill into powder to absorb its nutrients. Xue Wu's expression was strange; he sensed something was wrong but couldn't quite put his finger on it. He wasn't a complete madman or a pervert; he would tear open the gradually healing wound on Lei Mengying's chest to see for himself.

With the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill integrated into his body, Xue Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Lei Mengying, whose upper body was stripped naked on the bed in front of him, he blushed with embarrassment, but couldn't help but take a few more glances.

If he could put aside his hatred, Xue Wu would have long harbored feelings for Lei Mengying that were no less than those for Jin Lingjiao.

Finally, Xue Wu rationally retrieved a robe and draped it over Lei Mengying. As the effects of the static medicine took hold, Xue Wu stayed by Lei Mengying's side day and night, never leaving her side.

Feeling that the bed was a bit small and there wasn't enough sunlight, Xue Wu simply let Lei Mengying carry him to his bedroom to lie on the big bed. The bed was large and soft, and there was a life-sized teddy bear plush toy there.

Feeling Lei Mengying's pulse begin to beat again, Xue Wuqiang suppressed his joy and sat cross-legged beside her, sensing her further recovery.

Several days passed, and the pulse beat stronger, but there was still no sign of him waking up. Xue Wu looked surprised and doubtful, and even when he transmitted Yang energy to him, there was no response.

"Strange, why hasn't she woken up yet?" Xue Wu pondered for a moment, preparing to listen to her heartbeat. Just as he was about to press his head close to Lei Mengying's chest, he was suddenly embraced by a pair of hands.

The soft, gentle touch of their cheeks together startled Xue Wu, making him realize that the other person might have already woken up, but he had believed it and that's why he had been teased.

Breaking free from her slender hands, Xue Wu looked at Lei Mengying, who was also looking at him with her beautiful eyes open. His expression was a mixture of emotions. In the end, he put on a cold expression and prepared to walk out of the house, but Lei Mengying called him back.

"Huaizhen?"

Xue Wu paused, stunned, and after a moment's hesitation, he turned around with a calm expression and asked, "What?"

Lei Mengying straightened up, leaning against the bed frame, a relieved smile on her face, and said, "Actually, I woke up about two weeks ago."

During her feigned coma, Lei Mengying felt changes in her body. Her heart, which should have been broken, healed and became a Thunder Heart, a gift from the gods.

Besides, during these two weeks, she heard all of Xue Wu's mutterings while waiting for Lei Mengying to wake up—things like "I was wrong," "I dare not," and "As long as she wakes up, I can put everything else aside."

Xue Wu took a deep breath and calmly said, "Hmph, I don't admit it." After saying that, he hurried downstairs.

As the sun set, plates of delicious food were laid out on the table. Xue Wu wiped his hands and looked at Lei Mengying, who had dressed and was smirking as she came downstairs. He couldn't feel happy at all.

During the meal, Xue Wu deliberately placed highly nutritious dishes in front of Lei Mengying, such as soup made with century-old spirit chicken.

"Huai Zhen?" Lei Mengying looked at Xue Wu with a smile and suddenly spoke.

Xue Wu, as if caught red-handed, swallowed his anger and replied, "What?"

"Hehe..." Lei Mengying chuckled, making Xue Wu feel that nothing else mattered.

After dinner, Lei Mengying returned to her room early, but instead of her own room, she went to Xue Wu's bedroom.

Xue Wu, who had just finished cleaning up the dishes, was drawn to the bright moon. He thought of the divine soul imprint in his body, which had not been triggered when Lei Mengying's heart shattered, and he could no longer feel the imprint's existence.

This is probably only known to Xue Wu: the condition for removing this soul imprint is that he has fallen in love with Lei Mengying.

It was Lei Mengying's act of returning his life that truly touched Xue Wu's heart, perhaps because of his feelings for Lei Mengying as Huai Zhen. His subsequent care for Lei Mengying was all heartfelt and genuine.
