Seeing this news, Ling Yun narrowed his eyes. His gaze was like a blade that had been tempered by thousands of years of ice and snow, sharp and merciless.
Qin Qiuyue was still sitting upright. She raised her beautiful eyes slightly and glanced at Ling Yun without saying a word.
"Big Brother, what's wrong?" Ning Lingyu asked with concern as she saw Ling Yun suddenly stand up.
Ling Yun did not want his mother and sister to worry, so he quickly regained his composure and replied with a smile, "Nothing much."
"Mom, I have something urgent to attend to. I need to rush back to the city …" Ling Yun was extremely anxious, but his tone was surprisingly calm as he discussed with Qin Qiuyue.
"Sure, do you need me to drive you?" Qin Qiuyue immediately agreed.
"Thank you, Mom, but it's okay. My friend is already on the way and will be here soon." Ling Yun lied in order to prevent his mother and sister from getting involved in this matter.
Qin Qiuyue smiled sweetly and nodded her head lightly. "No matter what happens, don't be so impatient. Be careful and pay attention to your safety."
"It's nothing serious. Don't worry, I'm leaving." Ling Yun then walked out of the villa.
Ning Lingyu chased after Ling Yun all the way to the main door. She asked loudly, "Big Brother, are you coming back tonight?"
Ling Yun stood tall in the night and turned back to Ning Lingyu. "I'm not coming back tonight. You and Mom don't need to wait for me. Rest early."
With that, Ling Yun used the Thousand Miles Godly Steps and dashed out of Ning Lingyu's sight in a few leaps.
Ling Yun had once carried Ning Lingyu and Xue Meining to the Dragon Mountain to see the waterspout. He had also displayed his terrifying ability to throw Tie Xiaohu a hundred meters away in front of them. Hence, there was no need for him to hide his ability in front of Ning Lingyu.
As for whether Ning Lingyu had told her mother about this, Ling Yun did not know. In any case, Qin Qiuyue had not asked him about it.
However, he subconsciously hoped that Ning Lingyu would reveal it to his mother so that he would not have to explain it himself.
"Big Brother's speed is a few times faster than that day …" Ning Lingyu muttered to herself as she looked at the direction where her brother disappeared. However, she quickly pursed her lips and pouted. "What do you mean by 'friends'? It's obvious that he wants to run back himself …"
That's right, Ling Yun really planned to run back by himself. If he were to drive, it would be more than 30 kilometers from the Qingshui Wharf villa complex to the city center.
If Ling Yun used the Thousand Miles Godly Steps to run back, he wouldn't need to take any detours. He would only need about twenty-five kilometers to reach the city.
Very quickly, Ling Yun walked out of the Qingshui Wharf Villas. The surrounding wilderness was pitch black, and the chirping of insects could be heard. The night was dark and the wind was strong, and there was no sign of anyone.
He called Xiao Meimei back and was relieved to know that Xiao Meimei had escaped back to her rented apartment.
He did not know how badly Xiao Meimei was injured. Her voice was extremely weak and her words were intermittent. It was difficult for her to continue.
Ling Yun was furious. He was surrounded by a murderous aura. His eyes were as cold as a knife. "Stay at home and don't move. I'll be home soon."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Yun used the Thousand Miles Godly Steps to its maximum. His feet barely touched the ground as he swept past all obstacles in his way. He ran in a straight line towards the rented apartment.
Ling Yun did not take the normal route. Instead, he sprinted across the fields. It only took him ten minutes to reach the riverside. He first came to the Shichiyou herb in the dark.
Ling Yun had not reached Physique Tempering Stage Four yet. He had yet to generate any True Qi in his body. Running at full speed had depleted more than half of the spiritual energy stored in his body. Whether it was to save someone or to fight, Ling Yun needed to replenish his spiritual energy first.
Following the growth of the Shichiyou herb, the spiritual energy it released was naturally getting stronger. Ling Yun absorbed it with all his might. In just three minutes, he had replenished all the spiritual energy in his body.
When the spiritual energy in his body was replenished, Ling Yun used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to traverse a distance of thirty meters. He crossed the river and the road on the other side of the river and rushed into a dark and secluded alley.
As soon as he entered his courtyard, Ling Yun smelled the thick stench of blood. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he rushed into the dark house.
"Is that Ling Yun?" Xiao Meimei's weak and painful voice rang out from her bedroom.
"It's me!" Ling Yun replied as he rushed into Xiao Meimei's bedroom. "Pa da." Ling Yun turned on the lights in Xiao Meimei's bedroom.
"Don't … don't turn on the lights. There are many of them. I … I can't be sure if they followed me here …"
Under the bright light, Xiao Meimei could be seen leaning against the headboard. Her left hand gripped tightly onto her pitch-black daggers while her right hand clutched onto her left rib. She was in so much pain that she was gasping for air.
Xiao Meimei's originally charming face was now pale. There were three obvious wounds on her right shoulder, left rib, and left thigh. The bedsheet beneath her had long been dyed red with blood!
With just a glance, Ling Yun could tell that her internal injuries were even more serious.
"Ling Yun … I'm sorry … I … I didn't protect her well …" Xiao Meimei struggled to sit up when she saw Ling Yun enter.
"Don't move. Don't say anything. I'll treat your injuries first."
Seeing Xiao Meimei's injuries, Ling Yun's eyes flashed with a rare sense of guilt and heartache.
Ling Yun's words seemed to be more effective than any miracle medicine. Xiao Meimei's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Ling Yun. She did not speak, but her eyes were already red.
After a long while, Xiao Meimei released the daggers in her left hand and raised her hand to point at the lights above her head. "Should I turn off the lights?"
"I'll turn on the lights. Don't be afraid. Anyone who comes will die!" Ling Yun was really going to kill this time!
"Hiss …" Ling Yun unbuttoned Xiao Meimei's clothes and touched her wounds. She could not help but gasp.
Ling Yun said gently, "I can only give you acupuncture after you take off your clothes. Bear with it."
With Xiao Meimei's incomparably shy cooperation, Ling Yun quickly took off all her clothes.
Xiao Meimei's external injuries were very serious. Her right shoulder was slashed by the dagger and blood was flowing out. Her left rib was pierced and the wound was so deep that the bone could be seen. Her snow-white left leg was also slashed. If she had not dodged with all her might, her leg would have been crippled.
Xiao Meimei's entire body was stained with blood. However, these wounds were nothing compared to the blood-red palm print on her back. The palm that she suffered when she was running away was her real fatal injury.
Ling Yun did not say a word, but his murderous aura was getting thicker and thicker!
After seeing Xiao Meimei's injuries clearly, Ling Yun struck seven to eight acupuncture points on Xiao Meimei's body at lightning speed. He first stopped her pain and then stopped her bleeding. Then, he took out the leather needle pouch.
With nine golden needles in hand, he immediately used the Nine Needles of The Spiritual Pivot!
Through the Nine Needles of The Spiritual Pivot, Ling Yun's spiritual energy flowed unreservedly into Xiao Meimei's body. He only used the Nine Needles of The Spiritual Pivot three times and Xiao Meimei's serious internal injuries were completely healed.
The person who attacked Xiao Meimei was very powerful. However, Xiao Meimei's internal injuries were far inferior to the injuries suffered by the nine-tailed celestial fox, Little White. Hence, it was not difficult to treat her.
"Does it still hurt?"
Ling Yun asked with a smile as he saw Xiao Meimei's pale face gradually regain a tinge of red.
Xiao Meimei had long been infatuated. For the first time, she felt that risking her life for this person was so worth it!
She shook her head slowly and endured the three external injuries on her body. She smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Looking at Xiao Meimei's bloody body, Ling Yun said gently, "You'll have to bear with it later. I'll clean your wounds and bandage them."
Xiao Meimei's face turned red. This time, it was a real blush. She bit her pale lips and nodded obediently.
Ling Yun went to the bathroom to fill a large basin of warm water and returned to the bedroom with a towel. He carried Xiao Meimei to the bedside and personally cleaned the blood stains on her body.
After changing four basins of warm water and three towels, Ling Yun finally cleaned the blood stains on Xiao Meimei's body. After cleaning Xiao Meimei's body, Ling Yun gently carried her to his bedroom.
He first removed the nine golden needles and carefully bandaged three of her wounds. Then, Ling Yun smiled and said, "Are you feeling much better now?"
Xiao Meimei had been tortured by Ling Yun repeatedly. She no longer had any secrets about her body from Ling Yun. She blushed and said, "Much better. You, why are you so experienced in bandaging wounds?"
Ling Yun smiled faintly but did not answer. Instead, he bent over and carried Xiao Meimei back to her bedroom.
"Find some clothes and put them on. I'll bring you somewhere."
After saying that, Ling Yun took out his phone and gave Tie Xiaohu a call. He asked him to wait for him at Mansion Number One in the Qingxi Villa District.
While Xiao Meimei was putting on her clothes, Ling Yun looked at her pale face and said, "You'll be able to move around freely soon. Bring a set of clothes that can be used for fighting."
Once Xiao Meimei was done arranging her clothes, Ling Yun pulled her into his embrace.
"Let's go!"
Carrying Xiao Meimei, Ling Yun used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to pick up the seven catties and two inches of steel nails. With a light leap, he left the courtyard.
"What are we going to do?" Xiao Meimei asked obsessively as she curled up in Ling Yun's arms. She looked at the murderous look in Ling Yun's eyes and the calm smile on his lips.
"I'll treat your wounds first, then I'll avenge you!"
Ling Yun had already activated his Thousand Miles Godly Steps and was heading towards Mansion Number One through the dark and remote alleys.
