Read Novel Full Chapter 916 Fulfilling the Promise
Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Fulfilling the Promise Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Fulfilling the Promise Having taken the pills, Han Yinyue regained consciousness within two hours.
At the moment she awoke, a very rich aura spread from within her body.
Feeling this aura, Fang Lin and Dugu Nian were both somewhat surprised.
“So that’s how it is, it’s not that she can’t cultivate, but rather an innate qi was sealed inside her body. Now that her meridians have evolved, this innate qi has been triggered, creating an excellent body for cultivation!” Fang Lin exclaimed as if he had just understood a profound truth.
Dugu Nian also had a look of amazement in her eyes. This innate qi was very powerful. Although Han Yinyue had no cultivation at the moment, the presence of this innate qi was enough to allow her to make rapid progress in martial arts cultivation, which was even more astonishing than taking heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Fang Lin couldn’t help but sigh. This could truly be said to be a blessing in disguise. Han Yinyue had been troubled by an innate ailment and could not cultivate.
Now that the innate ailment had been cured by him, it had also triggered the innate qi that had accumulated in her body for many years.
With that, even though Han Yinyue was starting later than others, her efficiency in cultivation would be higher than that of ordinary geniuses.
Upon further thought, Han Luoyun’s two daughters seemed to have exceptional talent in martial arts.
Han Yinyue slowly came to her senses and saw Fang Lin and Dugu Nian, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
But that was soon replaced by a flush of bashfulness as she wrapped her arms around her chest and lowered her head, not daring to look at the two of them.
After all, being completely naked, even though she was submerged in medicinal liquid, Han Yinyue felt extremely embarrassed.
Fang Lin touched his nose and turned to leave the room.
Dugu Nian smiled and said to Han Yinyue, “No need to cover up, Fang Lin has seen everything already.”
Upon hearing this, Han Yinyue was so shy that she dared not lift her head and was completely at a loss on how to face Fang Lin.
“Your meridians are now no different from those of ordinary people, and perhaps even a bit more resolute. You can now step into the path of martial arts,” Dugu Nian said.
At these words, Han Yinyue was stunned for a moment before her face became complicated, but mostly filled with excitement and joy.
Even if she had always appeared nonchalant, as if she did not care much about her innate ailment, being Han Luoyun’s daughter and living in a martial arts sect, not being able to cultivate and lacking any martial arts cultivation would be extremely painful.
Furthermore, without cultivation, even as the daughter of the Sect Master, using pills and heavenly treasures to prolong life would at best allow her to live just over a hundred years.
Han Yinyue did not fear death, but she did not want her father and sister to see her die and feel heartbroken.
Now, all of this had finally changed.
“Thank you so much, Miss Dugu!” Han Yinyue sincerely thanked Dugu Nian, without an ounce of pretense.
“You should thank Fang Lin instead. I was just following his orders. He is the one who has made the most effort,” Dugu Nian said before helping Han Yinyue out of the wooden tub, with water splashing, her beautiful body like a lotus emerging from the water.
Even though Dugu Nian was a woman, Han Yinyue still felt shy, her cheeks slightly red.
“One more thing, you are really beautiful,” Dugu Nian whispered in Han Yinyue’s ear with a giggle.
After hearing that, Han Yinyue felt even more embarrassed and quickly dressed, then she felt a bit more at ease.
Coming outside, Fang Lin was standing with his hands clasped behind his back, looking at the medicinal herbs in the courtyard.
“Sister!” Han Xiaoxing immediately came forward, looking at Han Yinyue with concern.
“Xiaoxing, I’m alright now,” Han Yinyue said with a smile to Han Xiaoxing.
Hearing this, even the usually reserved Han Xiaoxing couldn’t help but show a look of excitement, hugging Han Yinyue tightly.
For Han Xiaoxing, who had lost her mother at a young age, Han Yinyue was not just her sister but also a mother-like figure, one of the most important people in her life.
Han Yinyue held Han Xiaoxing, gently stroking her hair as she gazed towards Fang Lin.
“Thank you,” she said, without further ado. Those simple words contained everything.
Fang Lin smiled slightly, also not saying much more. This was the promise he had long ago given to the Han Sisters, and now, at last, he had fulfilled it.
Han Luoyun approached quickly, overjoyed to see Han Yinyue had recovered and even more so to find a vibrant congenital energy within her body. He expressively thanked Fang Lin.
“Although the young miss’s congenital condition has been cured, she must still recuperate for some time and must not rush into cultivating again,” Fang Lin advised.
“Of course, I will take good care of her and not let her cultivate rashly,” Han Luoyun said with a nod.
Han Luoyun took the Han Sisters away, the recent days being cause for celebration for him and his daughters.
“You went through so much effort to cure Han Yinyue, could it be that you have taken a liking to her?” Dugu Nian suddenly asked from the side.
Fang Lin glanced at her sidelong: “What do you think?”
Dugu Nian humphed, her tone sour, “I think you must have taken a liking to her. She’s so beautiful and gentle—any man would like her.”
Fang Lin laughed: “Why do I feel like you’re actually quite jealous of her?”
Dugu Nian pursed her lips: “Not at all, I’m not the slightest bit jealous of her.”
Fang Lin smiled: “Don’t overthink it. She and I are just friends. Back at the Purple Mist Sect, she also took good care of me. Curing her was simply to fulfill a promise.”
Dugu Nian uttered an “Oh” and didn’t say anything more.

Amidst the mountains, the thousand-year Corpse Ginseng transformed into a bird continued its search until it finally found Lu Zhen and his companions.
However, Lu Zhen and the other two looked quite pitiful. Lu Zhen was still better off, just disheveled and somewhat bedraggled.
Sun Qingshan, on the other hand, had lost an arm, and Xu Yingying had a bloody hole in her abdomen. Although the bleeding had stopped, it remained quite frightful to behold.
“Who would have thought such a godforsaken place would harbor a Demon King, causing us to waste a precious treasure of the Sect,” Lu Zhen lamented, glancing at the wounded pair with some reluctance.
“Sun Qingshan and I are both injured. It would be best to leave this place sooner rather than later,” said Sun Qingshan, his face pale with a touch of terror.
Xu Yingying nodded in agreement, clutching her belly. Her injury was not light, and if they encountered any further danger, she feared for her very life.
Seeing the severity of their injuries, Lu Zhen, despite his unwillingness, had no choice but to lead them away from this place.
“Do you think you can leave?” a deep voice rang out. A tall figure was seen rocketing upwards from below.
Lu Zhen and his companions were greatly startled.
“Who are you?” Lu Zhen immediately took up his sword, watching the man with utmost vigilance.
The tall man did not respond, but pointed a finger.
Lu Zhen raised his sword to block, yet he was struck as if by a heavy blow.
Thud!
Blood spurted forth, and Lu Zhen’s longsword fell from his grasp as he sustained a severe injury.
All of this was witnessed by the thousand-year Corpse Ginseng lurking in the shadows.
