2: Finally woke up

Li Daoxuan looked at the woman on the bed with complex eyes.

That's right! This woman was a cultivator.

However, this woman's body was in a terrible state. External injuries were minor for cultivators. With a cultivator's strong vitality, as long as the external injuries were not fatal, they would eventually heal after a period of recovery.

The most fatal injuries to cultivators actually came from within the body, such as the Meridians, Dantian, and Primordial Spirit.

This woman in front of him had all of them.

Not only were all of this woman's Meridians severed, and her Dantian shattered, but even her Soul was covered in cracks.

"This... what kind of hatred is this?!"

"It's a miracle that this woman could survive, or rather, this woman's willpower is tenacious enough!"

It is well known that for cultivators, a shattered Dantian is no different from being a cripple. And this woman not only had a shattered Dantian, but what Li Daoxuan didn't know was that her Spiritual Root had even been extracted.

This meant that this woman's path to immortality was basically completely cut off!

Li Daoxuan shook his head and left the room, leaving the rest to the maids in the mansion.

Upon arriving in the main hall, all the servants in the mansion had gathered, waiting nervously for Li Daoxuan's instructions, and for him to decide their fate.

"Everyone in the mansion will continue to perform their duties. You and you, stay. I have something to tell you to do."

"Yes!"

Li Daoxuan chose two young maids who looked bright and spirited, and appeared to be intelligent and diligent.

"Ma... Master, what are your orders?"

"Ahem! From now on, you can call me Young Master."

"By the way, what are your names?"

"Reporting to Young Master, my name is Xiao Man!"

A sweet-looking, petite maid was quite bold, looking at Li Daoxuan without any shyness.

The other young maid was a bit timid, bowing her head and not daring to look at Li Daoxuan.

"Rep... Reporting to Young Master, my name is Xiao Yu!"

Li Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction. These two young maids were very good, seventeen or eighteen years old, with flower-like appearances and distinct personalities.

Li Daoxuan took out some bottles and jars and said, "The young lady in the guest room is seriously injured. Prepare some hot water to help her wipe herself, and then treat her wounds."

"Yes! Young Master!"

After giving his instructions, Li Daoxuan sat comfortably in the living room, drinking tea.

This was the life he had always dreamed of!

Cultivation! Hard cultivation! Get out of here!

Li Daoxuan had already decided that he would definitely not cultivate hard anymore; he wanted to enjoy life.

Not long after, Xiao Man ran over, her expression a little sad, and her smile gone.

Xiao Man said weakly, "Yo... Young Master, what happened to that elder sister? How could she be so severely injured?"

Li Daoxuan said, "I don't know either. I picked her up on the road!"

Xiao Man said with a blank look, "Ah?"

"Young Master, you don't know her?"

"No, I don't! By the way, are you looking for me for something?"

Xiao Man seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Young Master, we've already taken care of everything. Xiao Yu is taking care of her there. I came to inform you."

"And... and that elder sister won't die, will she?"

Seeing Xiao Man looking scared, Li Daoxuan comforted her, "Don't worry, her injuries just look serious. She won't die!"

"That's good! That's good!"

"By the way, Xiao Man, do you know who the best matchmaker in Tianshui City is?"

"Matchmaker?"

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and said, "Never mind for now. Let's talk about it in a couple of days. I'll go check on the patient's condition first."

Li Daoxuan arrived at the guest room and instantly felt his eyes brighten.

The woman on the bed had a slightly pale complexion, which not only didn't detract from her beauty but added a touch of delicate charm.

Coupled with an exquisite oval face and skin like ice and bone like jade, she truly was a sleeping beauty.

Li Daoxuan checked the woman's condition again, and after confirming there were no problems, he came out with Xiao Man and Xiao Yu.

"Alas! Her life has been saved."

"As for when she'll wake up, I don't know!"

"Xiao Man, Xiao Yu, you two stay and take good care of that young lady."

"Yes! Young Master!"

Next, Li Daoxuan finally began to live the blissful life of a wealthy landlord in the mortal world.

He had everything at his fingertips, food served to him, and two youthful, pretty, thoughtful, and lovely maids to attend to him.

This life was simply enjoyable!

Li Daoxuan occasionally went for a stroll in the city. In the cultivation world, Li Daoxuan was like an ant, but in Tianshui City, as long as he didn't seek death, he could basically be considered invincible.

No one came to provoke him.

However, some people heard that a Celestial Master had arrived in Tianshui City, and many were curious about the Celestial Master and wanted to befriend him.

Li Daoxuan, however, was very low-key. He never displayed his abilities and would not actively befriend any dignitaries. His days were quite peaceful.

One day, Li Daoxuan was enjoying tea in his mansion when he was suddenly interrupted by an excited voice.

"Young Master!"

"Good news! Good news!"

Li Daoxuan put down his teacup and said helplessly, "Xiao Man, what is it now?"

"Come! Have a cup of tea first, and speak slowly!"

Xiao Man was not at all polite. She took the teacup and downed it in one gulp. After spending a few days together, she already understood her Young Master's temperament very well.

"Young Master~ Let's go! That Fairy is awake."

Li Daoxuan said in surprise, "Really?"

"Mhm! Hurry!"

Xiao Man pulled Li Daoxuan's arm and walked. Li Daoxuan had also visited the young lady these past few days. Her body was recovering well, but she had remained in a coma.

Arriving at the guest room, Xiao Yu was carefully tending to the young lady.

Upon seeing Li Daoxuan approach, Xiao Yu quickly said, "Young Master, Fairy Sister is awake."

Li Daoxuan looked over, and the young lady on the sickbed happened to look up.

Their eyes met. What kind of eyes were these?

They were round, like a fawn's, clear and bright; pure like a clear spring; and deep and mysterious like the starry sky.

However, her eyes held undeniable sorrow, despair, and coldness...

These eyes also seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.

This was probably the temperament one gained after experiencing life and death, Li Daoxuan thought to himself.

"Young lady, you're awake?"

"Many thanks to this Young Master for saving my life!"

Li Daoxuan instructed, "Xiao Man, Xiao Yu, go prepare some thin porridge."

Xiao Man and Xiao Yu immediately ran out, leaving only Li Daoxuan and the young lady in the room. Li Daoxuan was not at all polite and sat directly on the edge of the bed.

"By the way! What should I call you, young lady?"

"Su Youruo!"

The young lady was very direct, only stating her name and revealing no other information.

"Then let me introduce myself. I am the dashing, handsome, jade-faced... Li Daoxuan!"
