As the stiffness grew more intense, Yi Yun’s limbs became immobile, as he felt the numbness spread to his abdomen and head. He was unable to speak, hear or see.
He only felt his face wet with tears, Jiang Xiaorou’s tears.
She was shouting with all her life, but Yi Yun could only vaguely see her mouth move. The voices were stretched and unclear!
Yi Yun couldn’t take that lying down. With all his determination, he managed to move his stiff tongue saying, “Lian…Lian Chengyu…”
Although Yi Yun’s voice was not clear, Jiang Xiaorou was able to decipher it, “Lian Chengyu? Lian Chengyu harmed you?”
Yi Yun was already completely unable to speak. He felt a cold corpse-like stiffness spreading to his heart.
If his heart were to stiffen and stop beating, then his life was over!
Yi Yun felt like a fish left out to dry; neither could he move nor could he breathe. All he could do was wait for death. Unexpectedly, just as the stiffness spread to his heart, he felt a cold feeling starting to develop.
This cold feeling was exquisite and familiar. It was like pure spring water cleansing his body!
Purple Crystal! Yi Yun rejoiced, it was the feeling from the Purple Crystal. In the worst of times, he would always feel the Purple Crystal!
The stiffness had already permeated throughout his body, but met its nemesis when it reached his heart. He had always kept the Purple Crystal close to his heart in his clothes.
Just as the Purple Crystal was activated, Yi Yun felt a small whirlpool in his heart.
The tiny eddies may not amount to anything, but… “Swish!”
A light sound rang. Without struggle or suspense, Yi Yun felt his body go light; the Purple Crystal had absorbed all the energy permeating within his meridians. All the stiffness in his body had disappeared.
Yi Yun knew he had already completely recovered. He moved his four limbs and realized nothing was amiss. He was only covered in sweat due to his nervousness.
Already fine? Yi Yun could not believe it, that once the Purple Crystal activated, he was fine in less than a second!
This…
The Purple Crystal by Yi Yun’s heart made him speechless. What exactly is the Purple Crystal?
“Yun-er, how are you. Don’t scare sis!” Jiang Xiaorou saw the originally stiff and immobile body of Yi Yun moving but there was a silly look on his face. She was extremely worried.
“I’m fine, Sis Xiaorou. I’m…totally fine…” said Yi Yun just as he felt something amiss. Just as he finished his last word, he felt something brew in his stomach.
“Eugh!” Without warning, an extreme nausea overwhelmed Yi Yun before he vomited.
Previously, Yi Yun vomited only gastric juices as his stomach was empty, but this time, it was different. He had vomited out black blood clots, which smelt rancid!
This horrified Jiang Xiaorou. In this strange world, vomiting was equivalent to declaring a death sentence.
Yi Yun kept vomiting without stop. Besides vomiting, he also perspired out smelly sweat that was sticky. It resembled black mud.
Seeing Yi Yun break out into a sweat and vomiting, Jiang Xiaorou was unfazed by the stench that filled the house. She scrambled to wipe Yi Yun’s mouth and pat his back.
“Yun-er, Yun-er, don’t scare sis. What happened to you? What happened?” Jiang Xiaorou’s voice trembled.
Yi Yun did not have a chance to respond till he vomited out all the black blood. But weirdly, he didn’t feel weakened, instead he felt even better. Besides having an empty stomach and being extremely hungry, he felt rejuvenated.
Yi Yun felt like he could eat an entire roasted lamb and pig if they were placed in front of him.
“Sis, I’m fine. I’m just hungry, and… I need a bath.”
The sticky sweat had adhered to his body like a sticky mud shell and was indescribably uncomfortable.
“Yun-er, you’re hungry?” Hearing Yi Yun’s words, Jiang Xiaorou was delighted. In ancient times, a measure of healthiness was the ability to eat.
