The diluted heart blood could not repair Shui Duchen's injuries at once, but under the control of his will, it was concentrated on the damaged dantian and several important meridians.

If he can be repaired, Shui Duchen will be able to mobilize some of his spiritual energy and will no longer be a useless person.

It’s just that the method of repair is like a phoenix rising from the ashes. It has to go through the tearing pain that feels like it’s burning you to ashes before the wound can be healed.

Shui Duchen almost bit her lip through, her hair and clothes were soaked with cold sweat, making her look even more fragile, like a sick beauty.

Half the night had passed and there was already light in the sky. Shui Duchen relaxed like a man who had been rescued from drowning and lay on the bed, gasping for breath.

Ji Qingzhou had been guarding him by the bed, and seeing his appearance, he quickly asked, "Third Brother, how do you feel?"

Shui Duchen did not answer immediately, but raised his right hand. A blue light lit up on his pale fingertips, and the air around him became moist.

The blue light turned into a stream of water, gently caressing Ji Qingzhou's cheek, wiping away the dust that she accidentally touched while busy walking.

When he saw the blue light, Ji Qingzhou's eyes turned red: "It's been ten years... Third Brother, you can finally start practicing again!"

As a junior sister, Ji Qingzhou understands better than anyone how serious and hardworking Shui Duchen is in his practice.

The disaster that happened ten years ago destroyed Shui Duchen’s past efforts and also cut off his hopes for the future!

During these ten years, Ji Qingzhou was in constant self-blame. She had thought many times that it would be better if she was the one who was disabled.

"Little Junior Sister, don't cry."

Shui Duchen raised his hand, and with his slightly bent index finger he lightly touched the teardrop at the corner of Ji Qingzhou's eye. A satisfied smile appeared on his pale face: "Everything is going in a good direction, isn't it? I have seen hope. Don't live in darkness anymore and blame yourself all day long."

How could he not know how tormented Ji Qingzhou had been since he was injured?

However, with the look on his face, even if he tried to comfort Ji Qingzhou, every word he said would eventually become a scar on Ji Qingzhou's heart.

So Shui Duchen could only remain silent.

Today, he can finally say these words.

Junior sister, I'm fine.

So, you don't have to blame yourself, okay?

"……Um!"

Ji Qingzhou nodded, but her tears became more and more violent. She made a promise in a hoarse voice with unprecedented seriousness: "Third Brother, I promise, I will definitely cure you!"

Shui Duchen smiled and nodded: "Brother, I believe you, but don't neglect yourself in order to save me. If you do that, even if I can get better, I won't be happy."

Ji Qingzhou said, "Hmm," "I know."

Shui Duchen said, "It's getting late. If you delay any longer, it will be dawn. It will be bad for your whereabouts. You should go back quickly."

"I'll come to see you again tonight. I need your help with something, Third Senior Brother."

Ji Qingzhou did not delay and hurried back to the Chigu Mountain Prison before it got light.

She used the same trick again, and after sending away the disciple who was imprisoned for her, she set up many formations in the cave, and finally took out a large piece of half-fat and half-lean spiritual beast meat.

Use the fire technique to remove the tiny animal hairs remaining on the skin, then wash it clean, boil water in a pot and cook the meat.

Even though spiritual beasts absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth and their meat does not have the fishy smell of ordinary wild beasts, Ji Qingzhou still has the habit of throwing some onions and ginger into the water to enhance the flavor.

When the meat is cooked, take it out and rinse it with cold water before putting it on the chopping board, cutting it into eighteen cubes of equal size and tying them up with straw ropes.

At this point, Ji Qingzhou paused.

After thinking for a few seconds, he untied the straw rope and replaced it with a thin rope woven from tougher, edible spiritual herbs.

"You can't let the children chew on the branches and then eat the ropes."

Ji Qingzhou shook her head. She really worried about this family.

After preparing the ingredients, seasonings and spices, Ji Qingzhou skillfully lit the hot pan. To prevent it from sticking, she poured some oil into the pan. Then she put the spirit beast meat in and carefully fried it to remove the excess fat.

Only when the spirit beast meat turned golden and the whole cave was filled with the aroma of meat did Ji Qingzhou pour the spirit beast meat into a plate aside and start frying the spices, then pour the meat in and stir-fry together.

The aroma of meat and the flavors of spices blended together during the frying process. Ji Qingzhou slowly added various condiments, and the golden pork belly gradually turned into a sauce color.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ji Qingzhou poured in a large jar of the best spirit wine. The alcohol content was not high, but it was very fragrant. She brewed it specifically for cooking.

Looking at the pot full of meat and spices, Ji Qingzhou smelled a faint aroma of stew, and an idea flashed in his mind, "If I don't add something, it will be a waste of this big pot of soup."

Ji Qingzhou was very active. She immediately selected suitable ingredients from the stored ingredients, such as eggs, quail eggs, etc., washed them, and added them into the pot after the water in the pot boiled.

While the meat was stewing, Ji Qingzhou went to cook.

If there is only braised pork without rice to go with it, most of the flavor will be lost!

Spiritual beast meat is more difficult to cook than ordinary beast meat. It was not until noon that the pot of meat was cooked.

While Ji Qingzhou was waiting, he was already tempted by the aroma. After leaving a portion for himself, he divided the remaining braised pork into two and sent them to the chat group along with two bowls of rice.

As soon as the red envelope message popped up, it showed that the rebellious little black bug and the bald chicken had received it.

The two demons seemed to be doing nothing but waiting for her to start eating.

Ji Qingzhou: "This is braised pork. I recommend eating it with rice. It's very fragrant."

She didn't need to say anything, the rebellious little black bug had already transformed into a repeater: "Smells so good, so good, so good, so good--"

If Ji Qingzhou hadn't asked him to mix the rice, he would have already started eating. Now he could only hold the rice bowl and mix the rice while drooling.

Stir it, take a bite, stir it, take a bite.

No monster can resist braised pork with rice, no one!

Before the rice was mixed, the rice bowl in the rebellious little black bug's arms was already half empty.

Looking at the rebellious little black bug that wanted to bury its head in the food bowl, the bald chicken shook his head, feeling very disappointed: "Is it that serious?"

Although... this pot of meat is indeed very fragrant.

The bald chicken coughed lightly, holding on to his last dignity as a supreme spiritual beast. A small bowl appeared in his hand, and he took out a bowl of rice and scooped a spoonful of soup into the bowl.

The fragrant sticky soup is evenly coated on the distinct grains of the rice. The originally transparent rice becomes shiny and moist, and absorbs the rich meaty flavor of the soup.

The bald chicken picked up the chopsticks and reached for the braised pork tied with magical herbs in the basin.

The stewed pork belly is soft and tender, yet still retains a bit of elasticity. A large piece can be easily removed with a little force from the chopsticks.

Looking at the meat bouncing slightly on the chopsticks as if it would fall off at any time, the bald chicken subconsciously stretched its neck, hummed, and stuffed the meat into its mouth.

At this moment, his eyes lit up.

So... so fragrant! So delicious!

The stir-fried pork belly is not greasy. The fat melts easily, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. Then, he scoops a large spoonful of rice mixed with the soup and enjoys it so much that he squints his eyes.

This braised pork...

Even a god wouldn’t change it!
