Chapter 1510: Chapter 1469 Letter

Looking at Lu Chuan’s weakened face, Ye Jiaxin barely managed to stop her tears before they burst out again. She threw herself into Lu Chuan’s arms, wailing.

Feeling the frail body in his arms, Lu Chuan sighed softly, struggled to sit up, and hoarsely comforted her, “Now, now, I’m awake; everything’s okay…”

“You almost scared us to death! Didn’t you think about what we would do if you…?”

“That’s why I can’t just die like this. I have so many beautiful wives and an unborn daughter. Even if King of Hell came for me, I’d crawl back from the Gates of Hell.”

“Pah, pah, pah! Don’t say such unlucky things!”

Meeting Ye Jiaxin’s tearful eyes, Lu Chuan chuckled knowingly and ruffled her bangs.

“I’m going to tell everyone the news; you should get some rest first.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

With Ye Jiaxin’s help, Lu Chuan lay back down and let out a long sigh.

In truth, there was a moment in the Exotic Realm Space when Lu Chuan genuinely lost hope of surviving.

His grandfather was missing, his life or death unknown, and Lu Chuan himself was severely injured. The news of his grandfather’s possible death was a tremendous blow to him.

However, thinking about it now, it was probably just a tactic to confuse him. With grandfather’s strength, even if he was outmatched, it wouldn’t be so easy for him to die. Perhaps he’d just temporarily left the Exotic Realm Space.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan also felt a bit relieved.

Though there’s no evidence proving Grandfather is alive, there’s equally no evidence he met with misfortune. At least personally, Lu Chuan leans more toward the latter.

“Speaking of which, the letter Grandpa entrusted to me…”

With a thought, the letter appeared in Lu Chuan’s hand.

Even before the thieves in the Small World appeared, Lu Chuan had already obtained the letter, though he hadn’t had a chance to open it.

Just as Lu Chuan was about to tear the envelope open, the door opened again, and the women came in. Seeing Lu Chuan awake but pale, they all reddened their eyes simultaneously.

“Brother Lu Chuan!”

Tang Yurou choked up as she approached, biting her lip, feeling utterly aggrieved.

“Come on, you’re all adults now. Why cry every day? Aren’t I alive and well?”

“Lu Chuan, how do you feel?”

“Just a bit tired. I’ll be fine after some rest.”

When I think about it, ever since I started pursuing the three Jade Pendants of Heaven, Earth, and Human, I hardly had any rest time. Even the most important New Year’s came early because I had to go to the Southern Border.

Now, even if Lu Chuan didn’t want to rest, he had to. That man who called himself Han Qian left his internal organs churned to mush. If not for Yun Yan protecting his heart at a critical moment, Lu Chuan might have died on the spot!

Though Lu Chuan’s external abdominal injuries almost healed now, his internal organs are still self-repairing, not entirely recovered.

But these injuries were slightly less severe compared to the Spirit Suppressing Nail. That time, Lu Chuan truly almost lost his life. If Kong Zhaozhao hadn’t saved him, there wouldn’t have been so many antics afterward.

“Zhaozhao, how does the secular world feel? Are you getting used to it?”

“Mm… Everyone’s very nice, almost like family. Lu Chuan, you have to get better soon.”

“Next time, don’t rush out on adventures alone.”

“Yes, and getting hurt means you trouble me to bring you back.”

Looking at Yun Yan, temporarily parasitic in Yun Ji’s body, Lu Chuan chuckled wryly, “Thank you. But what’s your situation? You better not harbor ill intentions toward Yun Ji.”

“Don’t worry, no one’s interested in your wife’s body. I’m way prettier than her. Her seductive aura might be something compared to others, but in front of me, it’s nothing. Her physical body is merely better for nurturing my soul. Besides, my body isn’t damaged; it’s just sealed somewhere.”

“So, are you planning to retrieve your body?”

“Not the time yet.”

Yun Yan rolled her eyes at Lu Chuan, then pointed outside at the Sky-reaching Giant Tower, saying helplessly, “If I retrieve my body, believe it or not, that crazy woman will come for me immediately? An Integration Realm Demon King. Do you think she’d let me go?”

“True enough.”

Lu Chuan nodded thoughtfully, feeling somewhat melancholy thinking of the Tower Spirit’s departure.

“In any case, you should rest up well, Lu Chuan. Until your injuries are fully healed, you can’t run around. Leave the outside matters to us. Just stay here at ease, and we’ll take turns taking care of you.”

Chu Mengyao sat by the bed, gently caressing Lu Chuan’s injury on his wrist, choking up, “You really need some well-deserved rest.”

This time, Lu Chuan did not refuse. After some chit-chat with the women, they all left to let Lu Chuan rest undisturbed.

As for the responsibility of the first day’s care, it was given to Shen Yourong. Her strength was evident, and she was less helpful with outside matters, making her perfect to care for Lu Chuan.

“Lu Chuan, do you… want anything to eat? You’ll need your strength.”

“I really can’t eat. You help yourself.”

Looking at the mochi Shen Yourong offered, Lu Chuan waved it away with a wry smile.

His stomach hadn’t fully recovered yet, and eating would just burden his body, unable to digest it.

“Then… I’ll just accompany you, seeing someone eat is also a kind of happiness.”

“Mm, watching you eat is nice enough.”

Lu Chuan exhaled softly, laid down quietly, and listening to Shen Yourong’s chewing, he surprisingly felt some sleepiness.

Seeing Lu Chuan slowly close his eyes, Shen Yourong put the chips aside, gently lifting the quilt to slip underneath, burying her head into Lu Chuan’s chest, taking a deep breath.

“Lu Chuan?”

“Mm…”

“Heal well, okay? I want a baby too…”

“Alright, once I heal, whatever you say.”

…

Meanwhile, inside the Heaven-reaching Tower.

The Little Tower at the Array Eye trembled continuously, innumerable rule seals floating around it, resolute in refining the Little Tower!

But no matter how the rule seals strained themselves, they couldn’t budge the Little Tower’s frame even a tad.

“Give it up, you must know, you cannot refine me; this won’t mean anything.”

“That’s not certain, don’t think I don’t know? Your power hasn’t fully recovered, it’s only about thirty percent now. If I can refine you, combine with the Demon Suppression Pagoda, I can reclaim my peak strength!

This time, I won’t lose again; the grudges of the past will be repaid!”
