In an ICU of the most advanced military hospital in the capital city, Qin Hao was holding s.h.i.+ Bingying tightly while sitting on the sickbed. And s.h.i.+ Bingying was leaning on his chest, with smiles at the corners of her mouth out of happiness.
Qin Hao hurried over last night. Things went as same as Li Zhanwu predicted, after Qin Hao's treating and comforting for the whole night. s.h.i.+ Bingying, who had been severely hurt, had already mostly recovered and would be fine after a few days' rest.
A Martial Cultivator's injury needed another Martial Cultivator to treat. Treatment of ordinary people wouldn't work well. Of course, it also had to rely on Qin Hao's excellent medical skills.
"Ying, how can you be so silly, letting yourself be hurt so seriously?" said Qin Hao sympathetically while gently playing with s.h.i.+ Bingying's soft and smooth hair.
s.h.i.+ Bingying smiled faintly, "Since I can't help you fight with enemies, I can only try my best to spare you from worrying about something else. Only by protecting them well can you fight against enemies with all your heart."
Qin Hao was touched and held her even more tightly. She was thinking about him all the time but last night he and Shadow...
Of course, he hadn't meant to do that last night. However, how could he explain it? Alas, just forget it. He'd better explain it later.
Then, the two held each other quietly like this, both keeping silence.
"What, are you thinking?" s.h.i.+ Bingying looked up at Qin Hao with beautiful eyes wide open. She could see that Qin Hao seemed to be thinking about something.
"Uh, nothing, I'm thinking..." Qin Hao paused for a moment and then put his chin on s.h.i.+ Bingying's head. Suddenly, he said gently, "Ying, marry me."
"Marry?" s.h.i.+ Bingying trembled. Actually, she had been waiting for Qin Hao to say that. Now she made it. In her heart a hot wave was surging and, on her face, a warm blush appeared out of shyness. She nodded, "Um."
"Okay, then once you leave hospital, we'll hold our wedding. I'll give you the grandest wedding in the world." said Qin Hao earnestly.
"Hao, parents' presence is necessary for a wedding. I don't have parents, but I was raised by s.h.i.+fu, so I hope you can go to the Serenity House before the wedding and invite s.h.i.+fu to attend our wedding, okay?" s.h.i.+ Bingying looked at Qin Hao, hoping that he could agree.
The requirement was not excessive, Qin Hao couldn't say no to her. But if so, due to the journey to the Serenity House, the wedding wouldn't be held when s.h.i.+ Bingying left the hospital. In addition, he also had to go to the island on the Indian Ocean to rescue b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King.
"Fine, then we have to put off our wedding." Qin Hao promised.
"Thank you, Hao." s.h.i.+ Bingying hugged Qin Hao's hands tightly. The smiles on her face turned into more lovely and sweet.
"Knock knock knock."
At the moment, the knocks outside disturbed their sweetness.
Qin Hao released his Spirit Sense. When he knew who was coming, he had to leave s.h.i.+ Bingying and walked to open the door.
Outside the door, two nurses were supporting a middle-aged beauty who was no one but Qin Hao's mother Mu Qingyao.
After the murderer failed to kill her, Mu Qingyao came to the hospital and now had almost recovered. Hearing that s.h.i.+ Bingying‒her future daughter-in-law‒also came to the hospital, she had no reason not to come over to visit.
She hadn't expected that Qin Hao would be here too. She was a little surprised, "Hao, you are here?"
Qin Hao tried to say something but ended up saying nothing. He could only nod to her as a response.
"I've heard that Miss s.h.i.+ is also in the hospital, so I come here to visit. Does she feel better?" Seeing that her son was still unwilling to forgive her, Mu Qingyao couldn't say more but to s.h.i.+ft the topic to s.h.i.+ Bingying.
"Aunt, I'm here. I'm fine now." s.h.i.+ Bingying answered from inside and was ready to get out of the bed. After all, Mu Qingyao was Qin Hao's mother, her future mother-in-law. Although Qin Hao hadn't admitted it yet, the fact was the fact.
"Don't get off. Just keep lying down. Keep lying down." Mu Qingyao immediately walked into the room and stopped s.h.i.+ Bingying from getting out of bed while carrying an amiable smile, "Kid, it's the best that you're fine. What do you want to eat? I'll arrange it myself for you."
"No, thanks, aunt. I'm fine now."
"Don't say that. Look how pale you are. Uh...Xiao Li, bring my black chicken ginseng soup."
"Yes, Madam." A nurse behind her answered at once and walked away.
"No no no, aunt, how can I drink your soup? It's for you to keep fit."
"No talking of mine or yours. We are family now. You are my daughter-in-law. Just take care of yourself and give me a cute grandson in the future."
"Aunt..." s.h.i.+ Bingying blushed all the way to her neck at once.
Qin Hao was standing behind watching the two talking with each other harmoniously. It seemed that he had no need to be here. Women always had endless topics to talk with each other.
"Um, you keep chatting. I'll go for something else." Qin Hao interrupted. Li Zhanwu had called him just now, but he was busy taking care of s.h.i.+ Bingying and didn't want to call back.
"Wait." Mu Qingyao stood up immediately and called Qin Hao.
"What, what's up?" Sometimes Qin Hao just didn't know how to face this mother.
Mu Qingyao stood up and took out a small parcel and turned around and walked to Qin Hao, "Hao, I've kept it for years and it's time to give it to you."
"This is..." Qin Hao was confused.
"This is what your father had left. At the night, your father pa.s.sed away, he gave it to me and told me to give it to you if you became a Martial Cultivator one day. Now, you are a Martial Cultivator, so it's time to give it to you." Words done, maybe it reminded her of Qin Hao's father. Mu Qingyao's eyes were moist.
Qin Hao took the parcel seriously. It was light but he felt it was heavy. Since he was born, he hadn't seen his father, let alone his belongings. The parcel was the only thing his father left to him, so he had to treat it seriously.
The moment Qin Hao opened the parcel, being curious about what it was inside, he was stunned. It was a book, on the cover it said: Medicine King Scripture II.
How could it be possible? How could the Medicine King Scripture II be in Mu Qingyao's hands?
Of course, Mu Qingyao had nothing to do with it, since she didn't even know what it was. She thought it was simply a book. It had to do with Qin Hao's father.
Qin Hao had already guessed what had happened. When people of the Medicine Sect left the mountain to look for the Medicine King Scripture that had been stolen, his father was one of them,
Somehow, his father got the Medicine King Scripture II, and he decided not to tell anyone else but to turn it into his own and gave it to Mu Qingyao to hide. And now it was in Qin Hao's hands.
Now Qin Hao realized that his father wasn't an ordinary guy and had made a fool of the whole Medicine Sect.
Of course, all these things were past, he didn't want to look into it further. Besides, it wasn't his position to look into it. It was left to him by his father, which indicated that his father actually cared about his unborn son.
With it, his s.h.i.+fu‒b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King could be saved.
b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King was now still stranded on the unknown island on the Indian Ocean. He had once said that only the Medicine King Scripture could save him by helping him become the Medicine Sovereign.
Qin Hao had once read the Medicine King Scripture I from Ye Tianping but it was useless. So, the Medicine King Scripture II should be b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King's last hope.
Feeling that b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King could be saved, Qin Hao opened it excitedly regardless of thinking about its origin. However, when he had read it content, his face presented an unbelievable and disappointed look.
He had already read the content of this so-called Medicine King Scripture II, which was just too familiar to him. It was exactly the content of the Eternity Spell that he was cultivating.
It said about recipes of cultivating Qi Refining, Skin Refining and Bone Refining. If one could reach the level of Skin Refining, then he would be a Medicine Sovereign.
And the recipes were far from being as good as in the Eternity Spell. The Eternity Spell had five levels: Qi Refining, Skin Refining, Bone Refining, Soul Refining and Spirit Refining. But this Medicine King Scripture II had only three: Qi Refining, Skin Refining and Bone Refining.
Obviously, the Eternity Spell was superior to the Medicine King Scripture. The funny thing was that he had been looking for the Medicine King Scripture to save b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King.
Qin Hao really wanted to slap his face. How could he be so stupid?
The reason that the Medicine Sovereign in the Medicine King Scripture could save b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King was the effect of Skin Refining.
Skin Refining could make one invulnerable to all kinds of harming like from knives, guns, water and fire, let alone sunlight.
So as long as b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King cultivated Skin Refining, his creepy disease of being afraid of sunlight would not be a problem anymore.
"d.a.m.n, how can I figure it out so late?" Qin Hao slapped his head hard and couldn't stop regretting. If he had figured it out earlier, he would have saved b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King from suffering for a long time.
"Hao, what's the matter?"
Seeing Qin Hao slapped his head with an annoyed look, Mu Qingyao asked while naturally worrying about him.
Qin Hao came back to earth and shook his head with a mirthless smile, "Nothing, you keep chatting. I'll go for something else."
After saying several formalities, Qin Hao walked out of s.h.i.+ Bingying's room while thinking whether he should go to the island at once and rescue b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King.
Thinking of b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King's life in that underground cave in all these years, Qin Hao felt bad. If he were b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King and had to stay there for such a long time, he would have already gone mad.
"Qin Hao, finally you come out. It's so hard to wait for you."
Qin Hao had hardly walked out of the gate of the hospital when Li Zhanwu's voice came from behind.
Qin Hao turned around, only to see that Li Zhanwu was also walking out of the hospital.
"Old Li, you are here too? asked Qin Hao.
"I come to visit my soldiers. Many of them have been hurt in yesterday's battle. I'm going to Miss s.h.i.+'s room to look for you, but you're here, so I don't need to go. Go get on the car. We're heading for the Sky Group's headquarters." Li Zhanwu said while pus.h.i.+ng Qin Hao towards the parking lot.
"To the Cloud Gazing Mountain?" Qin Hao asked casually.
"No, the Cloud Gazing Mountain is the Sky Group's training base. I'm talking about the headquarters where it will formally be established. Hha." Li Zhanwu smirked when finished speaking.
"Qin Hao, the Sky Group finally will be formally introduced to the world. The burden on our shoulders will be heavier." In the car, Li Zhanwu said solemnly.
"Why involve me in?" Qin Hao retorted.
Li Zhanwu was stunned. What the f.u.c.k was he saying? How could it be possible for him not to be involved?
"Haha, whether you are involved or not, you'll know when you get there. Go." Li Zhanwu waved at the driver and commanded him to go. Then the car roared away toward the Sky Group's headquarters.
