127: Wake up! I am...
He was obliterated by Tian Chenyang's punch. Yes, obliterated by one punch.
The terrifying power of the Void Union Realm, even Chen De's incredibly frightening recovery ability couldn't withstand it.
With just one punch, Yang Wei's body was turned into nothingness.
And Chen De was also obliterated along with him.
At the last moment, Chen De's vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
...
In a daze, Chen De struggled to open his eyes again.
What he saw was a village-style roof, visible from inside.
Since Chen De woke up slowly, he wasn't prepared in advance.
When he opened his eyes, what appeared were Chen De's blood-bead-like eyes, without any white or black.
"Ah!"
At this moment, a woman's scream came from beside him, along with the sound of something breaking, which completely startled Chen De awake.
Chen De's eyes narrowed, and they returned to normal again.
Since Chen De's host body was already destroyed, what subconsciously appeared was Chen De's original form.
Hearing the sound, he looked over.
It was a woman dressed in coarse cloth screaming there.
At her feet was a broken bowl, with some kind of medicinal soup spilled around it, steaming hot.
She had naturally noticed the abnormality in Chen De's eyes, which caused her to scream out loud.
An Old Man Li heard the woman's scream and rushed in, "What's wrong, Wan'er! Has something happened?"
Seeing that Chen De had returned to normal, the woman stopped screaming.
She calmed down, forced a smile, "It's nothing, Dad! The medicine was too hot, and I didn't hold it steady, so it fell to the ground."
Old Man Li nodded, seeing the broken bowl and medicinal soup on the ground, he didn't doubt her.
At this moment, he also noticed Chen De, who had woken up, "Oh, young man, you're awake?"
Seeing that he was talking to him, Chen De didn't answer immediately, but thought carefully in his mind.
After realizing he couldn't remember anything, he simply stopped thinking about it.
Facing Old Man Li, he looked around, cupped his hands, "Yes, where is this place, please?"
Old Man Li chuckled, "This is Li Family Village, this is my daughter Li Waner, everyone in the village calls me Old Man Li, you can call me that too. By the way, young man, what's your name?"
Chen De replied without hesitation, "My name is Shengmu!"
He then wanted to stand up and look around, but Li Waner quickly came over to support Chen De.
She was afraid that Chen De, having just woken up, would be weak and fall to the ground again.
"Young hero, don't move around yet. You're still weak, rest a little longer."
Hearing the woman's concerned words, Chen De simply didn't get up, "Thank you, young lady!"
Li Waner's face turned a little red when she heard Chen De's words of thanks.
Old Man Li stood by, chuckling foolishly, saying nothing.
Chen De then turned to Old Man Li and asked, "Excuse me, Old Man Li, where is this place? And why am I here?"
Before Old Man Li could speak, Li Waner interjected, "Young hero, this is Li Family Village, and the surrounding area for several miles is within Li Family Village's boundaries. As for why you are here..."
"It's because my daughter took a liking to you!"
Old Man Li's voice came over.
Upon hearing this, Li Waner's face became even redder, as if embarrassed, she turned her head away and stopped speaking.
Old Man Li continued, "My daughter met you in the mountains when she was gathering herbs. She saw you unconscious in the mountains, and no matter how much she called, you wouldn't wake up, so she carried you down by herself. It's strange, a person unconscious in the mountains, with no injuries at all, just wouldn't wake up. So we found the village's quack doctor to take a look, but he couldn't figure out anything. He just prescribed a few doses of medicine to nourish your qi and blood, to help you recover."
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Waner, "You've been unconscious these past few days, and my daughter has been terribly worried. She's been looking after you by your bedside day and night, bringing you tea and water."
Upon hearing this, Chen De quickly turned around and looked at Li Waner, "Thank you, Miss Wan'er, for these past few days!"
Hearing Chen De speak to her, Li Waner turned her head, her face still with a hint of a blush, "It's nothing, young hero, as long as you're alright!"
Old Man Li looked at his daughter and then at Chen De, "How about it, young Shengmu? My daughter is not bad, right? I remember when I was sick, Wan'er never took care of me like this. Why don't you stay and marry my daughter?"
How could he not see that his daughter was interested in this young man in front of her?
Although Chen De wasn't very handsome, just average.
But he looked righteous, so his character couldn't be bad.
Besides, for people in their village, the standard for a son-in-law or husband wasn't about good looks.
The main thing was whether the person was honest, could endure hardship, and settle down to live a steady life.
Before Chen De could reply, Li Waner stood up and gave her father a reproachful look.
Somewhat angry, she said, "Dad, why are you like this? He just woke up, and you're talking about this. I accidentally spilled the medicine just now, quickly go and brew another bowl."
Old Man Li laughed again, "Dad just saw that you like this boy, and you've been too shy to say it, so I spoke for you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Waner completely lost her composure, she secretly glanced at Chen De, her cheeks as red as apples.
She stomped her foot hard, "Alright, Dad, hurry up and brew the medicine!"
Seeing that his daughter wanted to talk to Chen De alone.
He didn't say anything more and went out to brew the medicine as his daughter said.
Chen De's voice also came, "Thank you, Old Man Li!"
Li Waner let out a long sigh of relief when she saw Old Man Li walk out.
She looked back at Chen De, who was also looking at her, "Young hero Sheng, don't take what my dad just said to heart. He's just like that, talkative, always spouting nonsense, and when he gets chatting, he says whatever comes to mind."
Chen De, however, shook his head, "It's nothing, I am very grateful for your life-saving kindness, both of you. Especially you, young lady, if it weren't for you painstakingly carrying me down the mountain, I might have already been eaten by some wild beast on the mountain!"
As he spoke, Chen De suddenly stood up, bowed and cupped his hands, "Please accept my bow!"
"Oh no, why are you standing up again?"
"Quick, quick, sit down, sit properly on the bed."
Li Waner saw this scene and quickly walked over again to help Chen De up and make him sit down.
Although she didn't say anything, she was still a little happy to hear Chen De praise her.
A smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
After all this was done, the room fell silent again.
Neither side knew what to say, after all, they didn't know each other before.
But if there's no topic, you can find one!
Li Waner was the first to break the silence, "By the way, young hero Sheng, where are you from?"
Chen De thought for a moment, as if in deep thought, "It seems like... Earth!"
Li Waner looked bewildered upon hearing this!
Earth, she had never heard of it!
Naturally, the conversation couldn't die like that, so she changed the subject, "Then, seeing your unusual state just now, are you a profound practitioner?"
A profound practitioner?
