The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 173 - Good Morning, Princess

Xin Chen was stunned and immediately turned around, realizing Ren Yuan was dead. He heaved a sigh of relief, the outer wound of the woman he had already healed before.

Ye Long came over with a glass of water, giving it to Ren Yuan who Xin Chen now helped to sit down. Ren Yuan smiled weakly, patting Ye Long's head softly. Then drink the water because the throat feels dry. There was still pain in his body but Ren Yuan endured it.

"You're coming home with your master."

Ye Long grew happier as Ren Yuan stroked his head. While the look on Xin Chen's face was still just as worried, he wanted to ask what had happened to Ren Yuan and who had harmed him. But it was temporarily removed. He did not want to ruin the happy atmosphere of Ren Yuan and Ye Long.

"No need to worry, Chen'er."

"Eat first, mom's getting thinner since I left. Ck, I don't know where dad and Xin Zhan went. Let mom alone, know this is me staying at home."

Xin Chen's nagging presented a happy smile on Ren Yuan's face.

Xin Chen wondered. What had happened to Ren Yuan seemed to not bother him at all. He did not understand the way the woman thought. He took food for Ren Yuan, bribing him while waiting for the right moment to ask.

While Ye Long was back wandering around as usual. Maybe this time to disturb the goat cage in Fanlu City. Or pestered the yam orchard.

"I don't understand ... Maternal illness and what happened today. There must be a common thread, I suspect one. But can you tell me, who did this to you? Maybe she still remembers her face?"

"Mom doesn't remember."

Xin Chen let out a weak breath, feeding Ren Yuan again. This way he could not leave Ren Yuan alone unattended. Her father and Xin Zhan were busy with their work.

"Mom will definitely be healed. Rest a lot. I've brought the antidote for mom."

Ren Yuan's facial ripples changed. As if in disbelief, he touched Xin Chen's left hand while making sure, "You ... Found her?"

There was a pause for a moment, Xin Chen drew a faint smile.

"I've found him. A Great Master in the Rain Temple, a corner of the Wei Empire has researched this disease and I found the last ingredient for him."

The memory of when Xin Chen fell in front of Laboratory A-3 and saw at a glance the shadow of the luminous demon that was Donkey Deer was in fact true and not a hallucination. Lang at that moment immediately hunted down the demon and saved Xin Chen by taking him immediately to the Rain Temple. Lang only took part of the Donkey Deer's teeth and its horn to give to Luo Mei.

Ren Yuan asked him to tell him more about his adventures in the Wei Empire. He only listened to Xin Chen explain all the terrible things and people who were victims there. The woman was as incredulous as him when he first set foot in the Wei Empire. The place was destroyed from within. But when Xin Chen explained the matter of the figure named Shi Long Xu, Ren Yuan was slightly relieved.

Xin Chen did not tell him everything, he covered up things that Ren Yuan did not need to know. One of them was the fact that Xin Chen's head had now become the fugitive one of the Wei Empire. Lucky he survived there.

But it does not guarantee that he is completely safe. Xin Chen had yet to ascertain the next step he was going to take. And one more thing, the fact that he was bitten was infected and there is still a small chance that the disease will return. Now he was only focused on the recovery of Ren Yuan. While his father and brother were not home.

Xin Chen was intending to bring the dishes and glasses into the kitchen, Ren Yuan immediately made an uneasy voice.

"Where are you going, Chen'er?"

The fear on Ren Yuan's face seemed very obvious, he approached.

"I'm in the kitchen, you guys make hot tea."

He added, "The whole place is protected by a spirit shield. Mother need not be afraid. If there's any suspicious movement I'll know. Lie down, I'll go to the kitchen for a second."

The woman nodded.

Just a few minutes Xin Chen returned with another drink, the hot smoke from the cup carried the scent of medicines that smelled so thick. Ren Yuan looked at the contents of the clear red cup, turning his eyes to Xin Chen who immediately explained.

"Red Crystal Antidote. The sooner you drink, the better."

It should be now that Ren Yuan's body state has improved more than before. The outer wound has been closed, the inner wound has been handled with the most powerful medicine. Xin Chen did not want to stall any longer, the medicine he had obtained with great difficulty. He wanted to quickly see Ren Yuan recover.

Ren Yuan received the cup, savoring the medicinal scent that made his lungs feel airy. Then take the medicine slowly.

In the few times the medicine gulp had run out, Ren Yuan had intended to put it on the table but suddenly the cup slipped out of his hand. The deadly throbbing carried an incredible pain in his chest.

"Hold on."

Ren Yuan who tightly grasped Xin Chen's hand, the second child could imagine the pain his mother was suffering. He stroked Ren Yuan's back, helping to alleviate the pain with his strength.

Xin Chen gave one container for Ren Yuan to bleed out from his mouth. Cold sweat sprang up at the woman's temple, sometimes she coughed because her breath seemed to be stuck in the esophagus. Ren Yuan's eyes were watery, the pain he was suffering from was so incredible that to just breathe out his chest cavity was extremely painful.

Red flakes come out with blood. Xin Chen knew it was a Red Crystal that was being shattered near Ren Yuan's heart. The antidote was powerful not playing, but the pay was the pain Ren Yuan was now enduring.

Xin Chen continued to look after Ren Yuan who was facing the disease, until the container was filled with blood. Even Xin Chen needed one more container. Eight hours passed and dawn began to come. One fragment that was the size of an index finger came out at the end. Ren Yuan ran out of steam, his eyes starting to shut until he finally fainted.

Xin Chen put away the blood. Then clean the rest of the blood. Ren Yuan was still breathing despite being weak. But at least Xin Chen was sure, the woman would be cured. Looking at the splinters that were Red Crystals had split out from his body. Xin Chen just wished for his mother to make a full recovery.

The morning in Fanlu City became crowded as the tourists and people of the City were busy chatting about the news circulating in the Wei Empire. But now that the news was drowned out by other news, Ren Yuan was attacked in his residence and the second son of the Demon Sword was again seen in the Shang Empire after disappearing without news.

Among the never-ending noise in Fanlu City, a man had just returned home from a long trip away. He arrived at the port with obvious worry on his faceline. Several times he nudged people, apologizing as he continued running.

The house where he returned is now deserted from the outside. The man entered the house so quickly that the spirit protector could not detect his presence. And immediately arrived in the room where his wife was laid.

A young boy whose face had a lot in common with her fell asleep on the side of the bed. Looks very tired. And he looked at Ren Yuan, as if nothing as rumored to have bled and been stabbed.

Ren Yuan's peaceful face that morning had not been seen for a long time. Even though he looks very pale. Xin Fai approached, looking at the rest of the container and the cloth under the bed. Xin Chen looked after his mother while they were not around. He feels guilty. For many things that happened in Luae his control.

When Xin Fai was about to touch his son's head, Xin Chen reacted and directly drew the sword. Crossing the sharp object around his father's neck, still aghast in shock.

The spirit protector should have made him able to anticipate the attack from the outside and suddenly there was already someone else by his side. Xin Chen was shocked.

"Captain apparently."

"Good reflexes. Stop calling your own father captain. Since when have I been a pirate." Xin Fai brushed off the sharp object. Patting the head of his son who only laughed a little. "You came home safe, you naughty whiz. I'm so grateful you're okay. And your mother ..."

Xin Fai did not find a single wound on his body.

"You healed him?"

"As long as I can do it, why not."

"Thank God you're here."

Xin Fai checked Ren Yuan's body temperature and pulse as usual. But his movements suddenly stopped, he checked even further until he heard the blood flow in Ren Yuan's body.

"You ... Cured him?"

Xin Chen simply smiled in response. The same instant he could see that Xin Fai's eyes were getting wet. His father hugged him suddenly, he had cured the Red Crystal disease which until now there was still no antidote in the Shang Empire. Everyone said that his wife did not have much time left because the Red Crystal had no antidote.

And Xin Chen had gone all the way to risking his life to the Wei Empire just to find one antidote. Xin Chen had returned safely to make Xin Fai happy, now that her son also brought good news that she never imagined would happen. Ren Yuan healed.

Xin Fai hurriedly hid her harbour when Ren Yuan started to wake up. He was standing on the other side of the bed.

"Good morning, Princess," Xin Fai said as she usually does. Xin Chen chuckled, The harmony between his parents never faded despite having been married for a dozen years.

Ren Yuan woke up, feeling his body better. A warm welcome immediately greeted him, he looked sideways realizing Xin Fai had come home from a task that took weeks.

"Good morning, too, my Lady Princess," joked Ren Yuan.

Xin Fai could not hide her happiness and directly hugged Ren Yuan tightly.
