Chapter 1349: Chapter 1349: What’s with Wearing a Coffin Around My Neck? (4 Updates)
After consuming four drops of Ye Haochuan’s essential blood, the small coffin lay quietly in his palm, no longer moving. It was as if it were enjoying a peaceful moment after a satisfying feast.
Damn, you got your fill, but I don’t know how long it’ll take me to replenish this essential blood!
Ye Haochuan cursed in his heart upon seeing the small coffin like this.
However, he wasn’t really angry. After all, this was a treasure even he couldn’t fully comprehend, and owning it was quite exciting.
Just then, he realized that the little thing couldn’t be stored inside his ring. Keeping it casually inside his pocket would clearly make it easy to lose.
Ye Haochuan, feeling helpless, found a string to tie the small coffin and wear it around his neck. Perhaps its previous owner wore it the same way, as there was a small hole at the bottom of the coffin for threading.
Damn, others wear rubies, sapphires, pearls, or jadeite, and I’m wearing a coffin. What’s that about?
Ye Haochuan sighed inwardly.
After securing the small coffin, Ye Haochuan finally turned his attention to the people lying on the ground.
These were Zhang Ziyi’s mentors and classmates, still unconscious at the moment. Ye Haochuan checked and found no physical injury, though their vitality had evidently diminished.
It seemed the small coffin wasn’t merely “gulping” them down but was hunting for vitality from their bodies.
No wonder when Ye Haochuan proposed to exchange his essential blood for them, the small coffin agreed so readily. Compared to the essential blood from a master in the Core Formation stage, the vitality from these ordinary people was practically negligible.
The small coffin didn’t absorb vitality quickly, otherwise, these people would have lost their lives long ago.
Vitality corresponds to lifespan. Due to this incident, these people’s lifespans would probably decrease by ten or twenty years. Especially the fifty-year-old mentor, he might have only four or five years left.
Ye Haochuan took out a silver needle and gave each of them an acupuncture, allowing them to wake up quickly. As for restoring vitality, it was too cumbersome, and Ye Haochuan had no time for that.
Seeing one of them showing signs of waking up, Ye Haochuan swiftly performed sword control and left. If these people knew he had saved them, it would probably waste a lot of his time.
A few minutes later, Ye Haochuan returned to the hospital where Zhang Ziyi was. He returned the soul to Zhang Ziyi’s body, and soon, her vital signs fully recovered.
“Little Ye, you’re amazing, fixing Ziyi so quickly!”
Zhang Zhenguo, seeing his daughter awake, exclaimed excitedly, “That guy named Duan even claimed to be some kind of expert, turns out he’s just a quack good at running his mouth. This time, we must detain him for a few days to teach him some lessons!”
Ye Haochuan chuckled at these words, knowing that although Doctor Duan’s medical skills weren’t top-notch, he did possess some skill. However, since Zhang Ziyi’s condition involved the soul, he was powerless.
Calling him a quack was indeed unfair.
Still, Ye Haochuan didn’t bother to defend him, as Zhang Ziyi had already awoken.
“Haochuan, why are you here? Where am I?” Zhang Ziyi was still a bit confused.
“Ziyi, do you not remember what happened these past few days?” Zhang Zhenguo asked concernedly.
Zhang Ziyi seemed to be lost in thought, murmuring, “At the time, I was in Shennongjia with my mentor and classmates sketching from life, when suddenly a large coffin appeared.
As soon as the lid of the coffin opened, a strong suction pulled the mentor and several classmates inside. I was scared, so I ran desperately, ran desperately…”
Zhang Ziyi seemed to fall into terror, speaking as she shivered. In the end, her eyes were filled with tearful panic, showing how dangerous the situation was.
Ye Haochuan held her affectionately, saying, “It’s all right now, I’m here, no demon or ghost will harm you!”
“By the way, how are the teachers?” Zhang Ziyi suddenly asked anxiously.
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment appeared on Zhang Zhenguo’s face. The local police had searched the place where they were attacked several times, but found no one, probably indicating they were in grave danger.
As he was contemplating how to break this bad news to Zhang Ziyi, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing the number, his brows furrowed deeply.
“Officer Chen, my daughter just woke up. If you want to ask questions, please wait a while, she needs rest now!” Zhang Zhenguo said firmly.
These were the police from Shennongjia; initially, they took Zhang Ziyi to the police station, and they informed Zhang Zhenguo that Zhang Ziyi was critically ill. Nearly causing his daughter’s harm, it was no wonder he was hostile.
“Mr. Zhang, you’ve misunderstood. I’m calling to tell you good news; your daughter’s teachers and classmates have all been found! From now on, you don’t need to cooperate with the investigation!” said a joyful voice over the phone.
Ye Haochuan had already predicted this result; he preferred to leave in silence, hiding his accomplishments and fame.
Hearing that everyone returned safely, a smile finally appeared on Zhang Ziyi’s face.
After recovering from her illness, Ye Haochuan quietly kept vigil by Zhang Ziyi’s bedside all night. The next morning, Zhang Ziyi had completely recovered and handled her discharge procedures to return home.
“Ziyi, this time, you absolutely must come back to the Imperial Capital with me. I’m worried about you staying in Haishan like this.” Returning to the Zhang Family, Ye Haochuan said sternly.
Feeling Ye Haochuan’s concern, Zhang Ziyi smiled dreamily, saying, “I actually wanted to tell you, I’ve already applied for a transfer to the Imperial Capital Fine Arts Academy. It has been approved, and once I sort things out here, I’ll go to the Imperial City to find you!”
Zhang Ziyi seemed genuinely pleased about transferring to the Imperial Capital.
Ye Haochuan also felt relieved, instructing Zhang Ziyi repeatedly not to wander around before leaving the Zhang Family.
He didn’t return to the Imperial Capital immediately but went to find Yang Hong, accompanying her back to the Imperial Capital.
When returning to Haishan last time, Yang Hong had agreed to go to the Imperial City, but due to complicated issues she had to deal with, she stayed until now.
Experiencing the feeling of flying among the clouds for the first time, Yang Hong was initially a bit scared but soon became excited.
This flight sparked her interest in cultivation, asking Ye Haochuan countless questions about it.
Previously, when Ye Haochuan saved her, he gave her a Postnatal Pill, granting her some cultivation.
However, given her limited cultivation aptitude, fully enhancing herself through cultivation seemed unrealistic. So Ye Haochuan simply gave her an Innate Pill, making her an Innate Cultivator.
With this cultivation, she could protect herself unless facing masters.
