A strong desire to live made Ye Fan force himself to walk to the side of the wall. Right now, it was difficult for him to even walk, let alone fly in the air. Ye Fan picked up the Snake Shadow Sword and stabbed it into the wall. Then, he placed his entire weight on the sword hilt. The sharp Snake Shadow Sword immediately pierced through the wall and created a crack. Ye Fan clenched his teeth and slashed four or five times before he was able to create a crack that was half a person tall. He used all his strength to crawl out of the crack and then walked outside step by step.
He could not stop now because the moment he stopped, the cold Qi in his body would further corrode his blood. If that happened, he would die from his blood coagulation. Right now, he could only continuously move to create heat in his body and neutralize the cold Qi in his body to ensure that he would not be frozen.
Ye Fan walked for almost an hour before he could feel his legs again. Once he could feel his legs again, he quickened his pace and began to jog. Two hours later, Ye Fan could finally move his body freely. However, even though he could move freely, his internal organs had been severely damaged by the frostbite. His Qi Sea, in particular, had been completely corroded by the frostbite. If it wasn't for the fact that his Qi Sea still contained more than half of his spiritual power, he would have been frozen into pieces by the raging frostbite!
Once his Energy Sea was injured, Ye Fan could no longer use his spiritual power. Now that he could not use his spiritual power and his internal organs were severely injured, he could not even absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world. This was because the spiritual energy from the outside world had to return to his Energy Sea. Now, he was even weaker than an ordinary person. Even an ordinary martial artist could take his life!
The sky was beginning to brighten. Ye Fan sheathed the Snake Shadow Sword at his waist and arrived in front of an inn. This inn was not big and looked unremarkable. At this time, the door was already closed and the words' Closed 'were hung on the door.
"Pa, pa, pa." Ye Fan used his hand to slap the wooden door.
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, a scolding voice came from behind the door, "So annoying. Can't you let people sleep? They only open after the first month. Go look at another inn."
"Ten taels of silver per night. Here's the banknote," Ye Fan said as he took out a banknote worth one hundred taels of silver from his bosom and stuffed it through the gap in the door.
Money makes the world go round. As soon as the banknotes were stuffed in, the door panel was opened from the inside. A person with a face full of smiles appeared. "Dear customer, please wait a moment. It will be ready soon." After that, he began to remove the remaining panels of the door. After everything was packed up, Ye Fan stepped into the inn.
"Are you the boss?" Ye Fan asked as he sized up the inn. Even though the entrance of the inn was small, the interior was clean and the decorations were not bad.
"You have a good eye, sir," the man said with a smile as he closed the door.
"Where are the others in the inn?" Ye Fan walked to a table and sat down. He looked around the inn and asked.
"The waiter and chef have gone home for the New Year." After the innkeeper closed the door panel, he poured a cup of tea for Ye Fan and handed it to Ye Fan. "My wife took the child back to her mother's home and will only be back after the first month. Now that I am the only one in the inn, I have nothing to do."
"What's your surname?" Ye Fan asked after taking the tea.
"My surname is Qian. Dear customer, you can just call me Old Qian," the innkeeper said with a smile.
"Then I will have to trouble Boss Qian for the next few days." Ye Fan said as he took out a banknote worth one hundred taels of silver and handed it to the innkeeper. "Please send all the food into the room and get me a bath. Also, don't let anyone know that I am staying here. If you do this well, I will reward you handsomely. "
"Don't worry, dear customer. Don't worry." The innkeeper took the banknote and bowed. He smiled like a flower. "This humble one will keep my mouth shut. Even if a knife is to my neck, I will not reveal a single word. Dear customer, please rest assured." In the blink of an eye, he had received two hundred taels of silver. In this small border town, it could be said to be a large windfall. He saw that Ye Fan was generous and had a good appearance. He thought that perhaps he was a young master from a wealthy family who had nothing better to do and was afraid that his family would find him, so he came to his inn. Thinking of this, he did not dare to offend him. "Dear customer, you must be tired. I will bring you upstairs to rest. After that, I will get you a bath and prepare your meal."
"Okay." Ye Fan replied.
The innkeeper immediately went up the stairs and led the way. Ye Fan followed behind and came to a room with the word "Heaven" written on it.
"Dear customer, we have arrived. This is the best room in the inn." The innkeeper said as he opened the door. "I will get you a bath."
"Okay." Ye Fan walked into the room. The innkeeper immediately closed the door and went downstairs to get water.
As soon as the door closed, Ye Fan immediately fell onto the bed. His seriously injured organs were hurting so much that his face turned pale. He had been pretending that nothing had happened. In fact, he had been in so much pain that he was sweating all over. It was just that the innkeeper did not notice.
After a while, the hot water was ready. In order to please Ye Fan, the innkeeper deliberately scattered flower petals in the water.
"Dear customer, the water is ready. Please take a bath first. I will go and prepare your meal." The innkeeper said as he left the room.
Ye Fan, who was lying on the bed, saw the innkeeper leave. He immediately sat up from the bed and took off his clothes as fast as he could. Then, he impatiently jumped into the steaming hot wooden tub. Although he could move now, his organs had been damaged by the cold. What he needed the most now was heat. The heat flowed through Ye Fan's limbs and bones, entering every pore. Ye Fan immediately felt as if he was a piece of ice that had been exposed to sunlight, slowly melting. He comfortably leaned against the wooden tub, allowing the heat to flow through his eight extraordinary meridians.
As the heat spread, the pain in Ye Fan's five viscera and six bowels was greatly relieved. His dantian was also much more comfortable than before. However, the spirit energy in his dantian was completely gone. The spirit energy there had been completely neutralized by the cold energy of the Snake Shadow Sword. If it wasn't for the spirit energy blocking the cold energy, his dantian would have been destroyed.
Ye Fan soaked in the wooden tub until the water was not so hot before he came out. At this time, he had been soaking for an hour. His body had recovered greatly and his complexion was much better than before. However, his organs were still seriously injured. It was not something that could be healed by a simple hot bath.
"Dear customer." Ye Fan had just put on his clothes when he heard the innkeeper gently knock on the door. "Dear customer?"
"Come in." Ye Fan said.
The door opened and the innkeeper carried two food boxes into the room.
"Young Master, the food and wine are ready." As the innkeeper spoke, he took out the food and wine from the food boxes and placed them one by one on the table. "These were all made by this lowly one. I do not know if they are to Young Master's liking." In a short while, the table was filled with eight hot dishes, two cold dishes, and a jar of wine.
"It's fine, you can leave. I will call you if I need anything, "Ye Fan said." Other than the three meals, do not disturb me if there is nothing else. "
"Yes, yes, yes." The innkeeper immediately replied. "This lowly one will be downstairs. If Young Master needs anything, please tell me." Finished speaking, he left the room and closed the door.
Seeing the table full of food, Ye Fan finally felt that he was hungry. However, he did not immediately move his chopsticks. Instead, he took out a small ingot of silver and dipped it into all the food and wine to prevent being poisoned. Right now, he was a wanted criminal by the Imperial Court. Although this was a small border town and it would take at least three or four days for the Imperial Court's orders to reach here, it was better to be safe than sorry. It was necessary to be more vigilant.
The silver ingot was still shining and did not turn black. Ye Fan was still not reassured. He took a little bit of each dish and put it into his mouth. It had to be known that the sleeping pills could not be tested with silver. He did this to be on the safe side. Even if there was a sleeping pill, such a small amount would not cause him to fall asleep.
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, Ye Fan did not feel any discomfort. Only then did he relax and eat. The innkeeper's cooking was not bad. The food and wine were very exquisite, but Ye Fan tasted like wax. He was eating to recover his strength and think of a way to save Fujiwara No Chiko. He was not in the mood to taste the delicious food.
