That evening, inside a room at the Grand Xing Feng hotel, a figure was sleeping soundly on the luxurious bed. His face was a little pale. He was shirtless, and his chest was covered with bandages.
Crimson blood seeped out of the bandages on his chest
No one knew how much time had passed. He finally moved his hands. His eyelids trembled and started to open.
‘It hurts…’ This was the very first thought he had. He was none other than Bai Chen.
He blinked several times to organise his thoughts. At this time, he could only remember that his body had flown such a great distance back, he could not do anything about it. He later fell unconscious.
At that moment, he knew full well that he had not had this large wound on the chest. The pain had only been from his arms, which he had used to guard against the old man Foo Yen’s attack.
Bai Chen could only guess that the wound had probably come from when he’d dropped onto the ground as he’d passed out. He might have fallen on something sharp.
For him, this was nothing. He thought it was good enough that he was still alive.
Bai Chen stopped thinking about things. He lowered his head to look at his body and found that he was shirtless. There were bandages wrapped around his chest. The necklace of fortune was still on his neck.
‘I’m back in my regular body.’
Bai Chen could tell immediately that he was back to his 18-year-old self, not the middle-aged man named Liang or Hu Yuan. His sky soaring power was also gone.
He thought that maybe it was because he had fallen unconscious, so the thousand-face skill and the sky soaring power had vanished.
Once he could sit properly, he swept his eyes around the room. He suddenly realised that the room and decorations looked identical to those of the Grand Xing Feng hotel.
“T… The Grand Xing Feng hotel!” Bai Chen could not help but exclaim. His face changed colour.
He suddenly thought of the old man Foo Yen. He should be dead by now since Bai Chen’s last blow had cleaved his heart in two. It would take a miracle for him to have survived.
“Wang Chengye…Is he still here?”
Of course, he suddenly thought about Wang Chengye, too. He wanted to kill Wang Chengye.
However, he knew that he could not do that in this state. Bai Chen finally sighed.
“I’ll put the matter of Wang Chengye aside for now. How did I get here and who brought me into the hotel?”
Bai Chen was a clever man. He knew that somebody must have helped him.
No matter who it was, Bai Chen thought that he had to be deeply thankful to them and he would do everything in his power to repay them. He could have been in some other sort of danger if he had not been rescued.
At that moment, he heard the door open. Somebody walked into the room. She possessed a beautiful, fair face with golden eyes and long, wavy hair.
She was none other than Lu Zhi Yun, or Mary Dington.
“Y…You!” Bai Chen opened his eyes wide and looked at her with disbelief. He did not expect that the person who’d rescued him would be Lu Zhi Yun, the beautiful foreign woman who was a great narcissist.
“Hiiii! You’re awake.” Lu Zhi Yun smiled when she saw Bai Chen’s reaction. She sighed and thought that Bai Chen must surely have fallen for her beauty once again.
Bai Chen adjusted his facial expression so that it was calm. Then, he lowered his face and expressed his gratitude in English. She had really helped him out this time.
“Thank you, Mary, for saving my life.”
“Don’t mention it. What did you get yourself into anyway? You know, I was so shocked when you dropped from the sky in front of me when I was just relaxing at Xing Xiang park. It was good that no one else was around, otherwise, there would have been chaos.” Lu Zhi Yun waved her hand.
Bai Chen was secretly surprised. He had not expected to fly off all the way to the park!
The distance between Xing Xiang park and the Grand Xing Feng hotel was rather great. It was only normal for Bai Chen to be surprised.
Seeing Bai Chen go quiet, Lu Zhi Yun did not try to pry. She knew that everyone had their own secrets.
Although Bai Chen did not have any serious wounds, she could not help but wonder how Bai Chen had fallen from the sky. It was unbelievable and not something that could happen easily.
‘Is it related to cultivators?’ Lu Zhi Yun thought. She was also a cultivator, so that was the only thing that she could think of.
Perhaps Bai Chen had made a cultivator angry, gotten dragged up into the sky, and had been tossed down.
“I can’t tell you anything. I’m sorry,” Bai Chen finally said. He refused to tell her what had happened to him.
There were two main reasons why he did not want to tell her. The first was that it was his private business, and the second reason was that it involved cultivators.
He thought that Lu Zhi Yun was just a normal beautiful foreign woman. She would not know anything about cultivators. If he told her about this, she would think that he had gone mad.
“It’s okay. Don’t worry,” Lu Zhi Yun said, even though she was still curious.
“Do you want me to call Xu In? She is probably worried about you.”
Bai Chen quickly shook his head. If Long Xu In knew about this, she would certainly be worried. She already had so much on her mind, what with all the arranged marriage matters. He did not want to put more pressure on her.
What he should do now was rest and heal. After that, he would come to investigate again to see if Wang Chengye was still here. He would not hesitate to kill him if he was!
Compared to the two sky soaring cultivators that he had killed, Wang Chengye was an easy target. However, if he had already run away, Bai Chen would have to wait for another chance.
The reason why Bai Che did not want to check now was that he was still badly wounded. He did not want to risk it. Going in his best condition would be much better.
