The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1222

(Unedited)

…

Xin Ja knew that he was too careless this time. But he could not help but feel a bit happy as he discovered that his theory on jet packs truly worked.

He then spat a mouthful of blood before passing out while leaning on the thick tree which he hits.

…

Ugh…

Xin Ja slowly opens his eyes and found himself lying on a comfortable bed while looking at a white ceiling.

The smell of disinfectant wafted in his nose which made him feel uncomfortable. Then he slowly looks around and found that there are busy people walking outside the closed curtain separating his bed.

He knew that he is in the infirmary of the 5th fortress and this setting was something that he has suggested on a whim which the medical masters actually followed.

He had seen how medical centers look like in the unique vision records. He has learned that having clean surroundings could help the patients recover faster.

And right now, he is one of the patients in the infirmary.

"They might have found me in the forest," he muttered to himself while looking at his body.

"This scene looks lacking…" he muttered as he looks at the side and then at his wrist.

He is thinking of an IV fluid that he had seen. But of course, that is not needed in this place. One could only drink a potion, and his body would immediately have enough nutrients and energy to recover slowly… so IV fluids are not needed here.

"Sigh… I have to get back to the drawing board with the jetpack…" he muttered as he shifted his body.

But before he could even get out of bed, a beautiful figure appears as she opens the curtain and enters.

"You… What are you doing?" Qiang Yaoyao suddenly scolded as she walks to the side of Xin Ja.

She quickly pushes him back to the bed.

"You should rest… you have suffered some concussion and some of your bones were broken. Luckily they found you immediately…" she said with a frown and traces of tears are already forming at the corner of her eyes.

Qing Yaoyao pouted as she was about to cry.

"Hey… Big sister Yaoyao… I'm fine… look!" Xin Ja said as he lifted both of his arms in the air and waves it as if nothing has happened to him.

Ack!!!

Suddenly, he feels a pang of pain on his side which indicates that he might have fractured his ribs.

"See!... You… you're too stubborn." Qiang Yaoyao could not help but berates hit his arm.

"Alright, alright… I'm sorry…"

Qiang Yaoyao stopped then pouted as tears now drops from the side of her eyes.

Xin Ja could not help but heave a deep sigh as he extended his hand and wipes her tears.

"Don't cry, okay… I'm fine now. They fixed me really well…" Xin Ja tried to comfort her.

"Promise you will rest, okay?…" she said while sniffing.

"Yes, big sister!" Xin Ja said with a salute.

"Hihi… Silly…" Qiang Yaoyao said while giggling.

Then two people suddenly enter.

"I heard someone talking already… I guess, he is already fine…" Yao Mai Lin said with a smile.

Behind her is Captain Yu who also showed a smile on his face.

"You really are a lucky brat…" Captain Yu said while showing a thumbs up.

"You… do not patronize him…" Yao Mai Lin suddenly hit his shoulder as she glared at Captain Yu.

Captain Yu could not help but scratch the back of his head.

"Well, he was really lucky… I mean, we captured two enemy spies… and one of them is a commander at that. So if he is not lucky what do you call that then?" Captain Yu said with a hint of admiration in his tone.

"What? Those guys were captured?" Xin Ja was surprised this time.

He was thinking that maybe he missed his target as he was not able to stabilize his position after he fired that shot.

And now that they have captured an enemy spy, then that would mean that he surely is lucky.

Then before anyone could say something, three people suddenly open the curtain and enter.

"Big brother, are you hurt anywhere?" the childish voice of little Yenxi greeted Xin Ja.

She walks beside the bed and began looking at him as if she is a little doctor.

"Nope, big brother is very strong, how could I get hurt?" Xin Ja said while ruffling the head of the little girl.

"Good… Hihi…" little Yenxi giggled.

"I'm glad that nothing happened to you…" Madam Zhang said while showing a relieved expression.

"I'm okay, auntie… I was just a little careless…" Xin Ja said.

"Humph… A little careless? You broke three of your ribs, your right arm was twisted, and your left leg was broken… That's what you call a little careless?" suddenly medical master Xiang Longbao harrumphed on the side.

"You were lucky I was with the madam today… they were able to call me. I fixed your bones and the medical procedure you taught me was really amazing… I…" Xian Longbao began to chatter but Madam Zhang patted his shoulder.

He stopped as he noticed the expression of Qiang Yaoyao and little Yenxi turned pitiful. Tears could be seen forming at the corner of their eyes.

Medical Master Xiang could not help but pursed his lips upon seeing the reaction of the two girls.

"Sigh… I'm fine now… Do not feel bad, okay?" Xin Ja quickly said as he lifted little Yenxi and help her sit at the side of the bed.

She suddenly hugged Xin Ja and planted his face on his chest.

"Big brother…" she muttered.

Everyone turned silent in the room. But it did not last as soon, outside the curtain they suddenly heard a small commotion.

"It's his royal highness!" someone suddenly exclaimed.

"Wow, the 4th prince is here,… and even the crown prince!"

"They are really handsome…"

The group heard the people outside but then everyone immediately went silent.

The curtain was opened and Xin Ja and his group inside saw the people outside has already bowed.

Meanwhile, two regal-looking and handsome men stood before Xin Ja. Everyone inside the room immediately bowed their head to greet the two princes.

Xin Ja could see Qiang Yaoyao stealing a couple of glances at the crown prince.

He could not help but chuckle in his heart as he knew that the young girl has a crush on the crown prince.

Well, he could not deny that the crown prince is actually very handsome and has a mature vibe on him.

Xin Ja who in on the bed, did not stand up, but instead just lower his head to greet the two princes.

"We greet the royal highnesses…"

Everyone around Xin Ja greeted and he too followed.

"Everyone at ease…" crown prince Han Jiban said lifting his hand to greet everyone.

"How are you doing, Junior Officer Xin?" Han Jiban asked while scrutinizing Xin Ja.

"I am doing fine your highness… My leg and side just have slight pain, but everything is fine…" Xin Ja replied.

"That is good, I expect you to report what has happened… I am a bit curious…" the crown prince said while a hint of a playful smile appears on his face.

In fact, he is very curious about what that thing that the investigative department has taken back from the site where Xin Ja was found.

It was something that they have never seen before, and everyone knew that this young man created something outrageous again.

According to the report, Xin Ja fell from above… so the question is, how was he able to get that high up to be able to sustain such injuries in his body?

"Yes, your highness… I will give a full report tomorrow…" Xin Ja said.

But before he could say anything more, she heard Qiang Yaoyao object.

"No… You must still rest…" she said with concern in her eyes.

Seeing this scene, the expression of the people around them turned awkward.

Qiang Yaoyao noticed this and a blush appears on her face.

How could she not know what these people are thinking?

But she has always treated Xin Ja as a little brother. That is why she is very concerned about his well-being.

As a big sister, she was really worried when she heard that something happened to him a day ago.

"This young lady is right. You should take ample rest for the time being…" Han Jiban agreed.

Hearing the person she has a crush on agrees with her suggestion, the face of Qiang Yaoyao became flustered.

"We will now take our leave, rest well…" Han Jiban said as he turns around and began walking.

"See you… Xin Ja…" the 4th prince is a little bit more casual as he waves his hand while following behind his older brother.

That day, Xin Ja received more visitors in his infirmary bed and has only rested when it was already nighttime.

That night, he carefully checked his condition and noticed that his body is already fine. His bones were carefully aligned and he is now able to get out.

He could not help but praise medical master Xiang for his bone-setting skills.
