Chapter 73 3 Days of Coma
Have they already won?
Da Hu and the others were initially startled, but then simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Lang treated them well, not only respecting them but also teaching them martial arts.
Upon learning of Shen Lang's death, they had been holding on by sheer willpower. Now, their minds suddenly relaxed, and they instantly felt their legs go weak, making it difficult for them to stand.
"Invincible, Lord Shen! He's unstoppable with a single move!"
"As expected of Lord Shen, so incredibly arrogant!"
"Lord Shen, you are truly awe-inspiring!"
Da Hu and his men surrounded him, showering him with compliments—a tradition passed down through generations in the Prince's mansion.
They relaxed, but Pei Ci couldn't quite accept it. His eyes widened in disbelief as he said:
"It's one thing for the powerful demon Tonghui, but now you've even managed to capture a Fate Master?"
"How did you do that? Have you improved your skills again in just a few days?!"
"Holding the sun and moon in their hands and plucking stars from the sky... Where in the world can such a person exist?"
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"I, Pei, cannot accept this!"
Pei Ci immediately broke down and began to question the meaning of life.
Others may not understand how terrifying a fortune teller can be, but how could he, the young leader of the Giant Whale Gang, the third retainer of the Marquis's Mansion, and a master about to break through to the eighth rank of martial arts, not understand?
He risked his life to rescue Shen Lang; their friendship was so profound that even he himself was deeply moved.
But the result was that his heart was riddled with holes!
In the end, it was all for naught!
Shen Lang patted him on the shoulder and gently comforted him, "Brother Pei, please don't worry, there's no improvement."
"It was because that fortune teller was careless and underestimated his opponent that I was able to win by taking advantage of the situation. If it were Brother Pei, it would have been an easy victory as well."
After calming down the proud Pei Gongfeng, Shen Lang turned to Fatty Orange and cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for coming to help, Ancestor Jin Tuan."
"The matter of the fortune teller has been resolved. She will not cause you any more trouble in the future. Once this case is closed, I will arrange for you to return home."
The old patriarch of the Golden Clan gave a haughty snort and turned his head away without caring at all.
Little did it know that its tail, which stood upright like an antenna, had already revealed its true feelings.
Shen Lang thanked him so solemnly and even addressed him as "Ancestor," which pleased the creature greatly.
Shen Lang then clasped his hands in thanks to Da Hu and the others one by one.
Regardless of their strength, since they have shown such goodwill, he must accept their kindness.
After doing all this, Shen Lang walked up to Qin Erniu, who was hiding at the very back, scratching his head and grinning awkwardly. Without saying much, he patted him on the shoulder.
The fortune teller stood quietly not far away, watching the bustling scene, the illusory image, like a reflection in water, appearing somewhat desolate in comparison.
She swayed gently, then suddenly vanished without a trace.
......
With the help of the people from the Jing'an Prince's Mansion, the villa was quickly cleaned up.
Just to be on the safe side, Shen Lang used the Void Realm and Demon Eyes to check again.
Before the case is closed, the Ministry of Justice must not be aware of his existence, otherwise it may cause unforeseen complications.
After completing the inspection, the group quietly descended the mountain and returned to Yujing City.
When Shen Lang arrived at the Prince's Mansion, his eyelids were so heavy that he could barely keep them open.
Forcing himself to stay awake, he first went to report to the Princess and the County Princess that he was safe. Then, dismissing everyone else, he summoned Qin Erniu and quietly instructed him:
"As soon as it gets light, go to the yamen and find the garrison commander. Tell him that the person I fought at Qingyun Temple last night was me and that fortune teller."
"If the garrison commander inquires, you should say that the fortune teller escaped, I was seriously injured, but I found clues about the stolen national destiny."
"Have you written everything down?"
He is in a bad state right now, with depleted blood and energy and exhausted mental strength. He may fall into a coma for a while.
But this case couldn't be delayed, so he asked Erniu to help him get the facts straight.
Zhang Xian is quick-witted and will surely understand his meaning.
Although the fortune teller escaped, he left behind clues about the theft of the nation's fortune. This means that the case now has a clear direction for investigation, and there is no need to worry about the emperor's anger affecting the innocent.
In other words, this case can be closed.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards are known for their swift and decisive actions; perhaps by the time he recovers, everything will have been settled.
Qin Erniu listened attentively and said seriously, "I've memorized it all!"
"Don't worry, Brother Lang, you get some rest. Leave this to me."
Shen Lang nodded slightly, left the inner courtyard, casually found a guest room, and lay down on the bed without even taking off his coat.
He was completely burned out, his energy was completely depleted, and his mind felt as if it had been torn apart.
This also served as a reminder to him. Although the combined power of the Void Realm and the Demon Eye was unparalleled, he did not yet have the resources to use it at will and would have to be extra careful in the future.
But putting all that aside, his gains tonight were quite substantial.
Not only did he find the stolen national destiny, but he also obtained three extremely precious treasures, including the sword technique he had long desired.
It should be noted that the Black Mist Blade Technique he currently uses is merely an ordinary martial art. If it were replaced with a second-grade divine ability, the increase in strength would likely be far more than just a few times!
In addition, this battle has deepened his understanding of martial arts.
After waking up, and reflecting on it carefully, perhaps one can naturally break through to the seventh rank.
"A horse won't get fat without night grass; the ancients were right."
Shen Lang muttered something to himself, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep, accompanied by the occasional croaking of frogs and chirping of cicadas outside.
......
Half an hour later.
A wisp of ethereal green smoke, like a reflection in water, slowly drifted out from the string of moon-white stone beads on Shen Lang's wrist.
The illusory figure of the fortune teller swayed as he stood by the bed, quietly watching Shen Lang.
It seemed to be to confirm whether he was fast asleep.
Fifteen minutes later, she moved.
She suddenly darted into Shen Lang's arms.
Her head rested on his arm, her delicate hands wrapped around his waist, and her face pressed tightly against his chest.
After doing all this, the clear spring in her eyes rippled with wave after wave.
For the first time, a normal expression appeared on that usually aloof face.
He squinted slightly, the corners of his lips turned up, revealing a satisfied smile.
......
three days later.
Shen Lang opened his eyes.
He got out of bed, stretched his limbs, and his joints cracked all over as he muttered to himself:
"That sleep was definitely worth it! My energy and blood circulation have not only fully recovered, but they've actually increased!"
In his sleep, he faintly smelled a delicate fragrance, and for some reason, his chest felt cool and comfortable.
This allowed him to sleep exceptionally soundly, and when he woke up, he was fully refreshed!
After a quick wash, Shen Lang came out of the house and was immediately surrounded by a group of beautiful women.
"Lord Shen, you're awake!"
"These are the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, thousand-year-old snow ginseng, and ten-thousand-year-old..." prepared for you by the Princess and the Crown Princess.
"Please eat something to fill your stomach first, and I'll go tell the kitchen to prepare a meal right away!"
"I'll go inform the princess and the queen."
They were like a flock of larks, chirping and greeting each other before scattering in all directions.
