Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

Chapter 220 Lu Yao, dressed in rags

Su Yun slowly woke up, her head still a little groggy, as if enveloped by a soft, fluffy cloud. She rubbed her eyes groggily, her vision gradually focusing, and then she noticed a strangely shaped moon key on the bedside table. The key's curve resembled the brightest crescent moon in the night sky, radiating a mysterious and gentle glow. Beside the key lay a quiet arrow, its shaft gleaming with a cold, metallic light, its fletching exquisite and textured, as if telling a story of its extraordinary origin.

Su Yun's eyes widened instantly, filled with surprise and curiosity. Her drowsiness vanished at this sudden discovery. She sat bolt upright in bed, almost jumping for joy, her face beaming with uncontainable happiness, like a child who had received a long-awaited gift. She eagerly jumped out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and strode briskly towards the living room, calling out loudly as she went, "Chen, is this for me?" Her voice was full of anticipation and delight.

At this moment, Mu Chen was leisurely eating breakfast at the dining table, sunlight streaming through the window and bathing him in a golden glow. Hearing Su Yun's voice, he slowly raised his head, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and said softly, "Yes, I saw you sleeping so soundly yesterday, so deeply, that I didn't have the heart to wake you. I went to get it myself." He then lowered his head and continued eating his breakfast, his movements elegant and composed.

Su Yun walked to the dining table, his eyes still fixed on the arrow, his curiosity surging like a tide. He reached out and gently touched the arrow shaft, feeling its cold touch, then looked up, a question in his eyes, and asked again, "Is this arrow for me too?" His voice trembled slightly with excitement, as if afraid of receiving a negative answer.

Mu Chen put down his cutlery, gently wiped his mouth with a tissue, then nodded and said firmly, "Yes, it's for you too." His tone carried an undeniable certainty, as if telling Su Yun that this was a gift specially prepared for him.

A radiant smile bloomed on Su Yun's face, like a blossoming flower. He clasped his hands together and sincerely said, "Thank you." His voice was full of gratitude and joy, as if this gift were the most precious thing in the world.

Seeing Su Yun's happy expression, Mu Chen's smile grew even brighter. He pointed to the seat opposite him and said gently, "Get ready to eat." His voice was like a gentle breeze in spring, soft and warm.

Su Yun nodded vigorously and replied, "Mm."

Su Yun sat alone in a corner of the courtyard, her eyes somewhat unfocused. Fragments of broken memories flashed through her mind, disturbing her peace of mind. She thought to herself: Now she could only wait for the full moon. She had heard that the night of the full moon possessed a mysterious power, which might be able to unravel the mystery of her missing memories. Unfortunately, the Mid-Autumn Festival was just around the corner, and the full moon would surely hang high in the sky. She eagerly awaited the day, hoping that her lost memories would return to her mind like a treasure long buried in dust. She prayed silently in her heart, as if this would make her wish come true, allowing her to remember those forgotten past events, to figure out who she really was, and why she had lost her memories.

Time slipped by quietly, and a few more days passed. That day, the sun lazily shone into the courtyard, and Su Yun was sitting at the dining table eating lunch. The aroma of the food filled the air, but she ate somewhat absentmindedly. Suddenly, footsteps broke the tranquility of the courtyard, and Lu Yao rushed back, looking travel-worn. Lu Yao's appearance was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stunning everyone in the house. Lu Yao was dressed in tattered clothes; her once relatively clean clothes were now worn and tattered, as if she had just survived a fierce battle. Her clothes were covered in dust and holes, fluttering in the wind. Her hair was also disheveled, with strands clinging to her sweat- and grime-covered face. In her hand, she clutched a medicine described in an ancient book, the medicine emitting a faint, strange light, seemingly containing mysterious power. She also bore numerous wounds, some still bleeding, the blood staining parts of her clothes, a shocking sight.

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, come down quickly, Lu Yao is back!" Su Yun was startled when she saw Lu Yao's appearance and immediately shouted loudly towards the attic. Her voice was filled with anxiety and concern, hoping that Xiao Hei could come down and help quickly. A slight movement came from the attic, as if something was moving rapidly.

"Madam, is this your guest?" Aunt Hu stammered, looking at Lu Yao's disheveled appearance. Her eyes revealed a hint of fear and unease, and her body trembled slightly; she was clearly frightened by Lu Yao's appearance.

"Yes, don't be afraid, she won't hurt you." Su Yun quickly comforted Aunt Hu, forcing a gentle smile on his face. He knew Aunt Hu was timid and would inevitably be frightened by Lu Yao's appearance, so he wanted to reassure her.

"Aunt Hu, Yueyue, you may leave now." Su Yun felt the situation was urgent and Lu Yao needed to receive treatment as soon as possible, so she dismissed Aunt Hu and Yueyue. Aunt Hu and Yueyue hesitated for a moment, but slowly withdrew.

Just then, Xiao Hei appeared before Su Yun like a black lightning bolt. Its fur was glossy and its eyes sparkled with a lively light. Su Yun said anxiously, "Xiao Hei, quickly transfer some spiritual energy to her. I'll go get the pills I just made."

At this moment, Lu Yao was on the verge of death, her face as pale as paper, and her breath so weak it was almost imperceptible. Su Yun was extremely anxious and hurried to the cabinet where the pills were kept, praying in her heart that these pills would help Lu Yao recover as soon as possible.

After a fierce battle with the black bear demon, Lu Yao's spiritual energy became disordered, many of his meridians were damaged, and he was so weak that he almost fainted.

Lu Yao trembled as he took the pill and put it in his mouth. The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, turning into a warm current that flowed down his throat, slowly repairing his damaged body.

After taking the pill, Lu Yao felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her, and she collapsed onto the sofa as if her body had fallen apart. She quickly fell into a deep sleep, and her even breathing was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

Seeing that Lu Yao had fallen asleep, Xiao Hei obediently lay down beside the sofa, its round eyes watching the surroundings warily, occasionally wagging its tail, staying to take care of Lu Yao, as if as long as it was there, no danger would be allowed to approach Lu Yao.

At this moment, Su Yun was also preoccupied with another important matter.

Su Yun dared not delay for a moment, and hurriedly went to the alchemy room, taking out all the prepared medicinal herbs one by one and placing them on the alchemy table. She lit the alchemy furnace, carefully put the herbs into the furnace, quickly formed hand seals with her hands, and chanted incantations, focusing intently on controlling the heat and the fusion of medicinal power within the furnace.
