Chapter 1047: Chapter 1043: Did I Do Something Wrong Again?

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Xiao Tian immediately asked, ”How is Ozawa Miwa’s condition?”

The middle-aged man furrowed his brow, glanced at the woman who was already petrified with fear, and softly instructed, ”You may go now.”

After the woman left, the middle-aged man slowly walked to stand in front of Xiao Tian, sat down, and sighed softly, ”It’s not optimistic. I’ve practically consulted every renowned doctor across the nation in these past few days, and they all declared they were powerless.”

Xiao Tian slightly relaxed, as long as the poison of the Heart-Breaking Fruit hadn’t fully taken effect, it wasn’t time to speak lightly of giving up!

”Send someone to the dock immediately. There’s a woman named Adison Claire on a ship heading to Huaxia. Bring her to me,” Xiao Tian spoke rapidly, then emphasized, ”It must be fast!”

The middle-aged man nodded and was about to leave without even responding.

However, before he could use his body technique, Xiao Tian spoke up, ”Wait a minute... the person who saved me, how are they now?”

”You should worry about yourself first,” a complex look flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes as he replied with a hint of irritation.

Xiao Tian felt inexplicably puzzled by the middle-aged man’s attitude, but recalling the answer that had just surfaced in his mind, he somewhat understood and then asked with difficulty, ”Was it Kojima Minako who saved me?”

Just moments ago, Xiao Tian had realized who the familiar fragrance belonged to, combined with the middle-aged man’s recent reaction and the attitude of the person who saved him at that time, unsure if it was to save or kill. His heart was about seventy to eighty percent sure that the person who saved him was Kojima Minako.

The middle-aged man’s expression immediately changed, and he turned his head away at lightning speed, staying silent for a long time before saying, ”How did you figure out it was her?”

With his suspicion confirmed by the middle-aged man, Xiao Tian didn’t answer immediately but instead urgently asked, ”How is she now?”

As he asked this question, his heart became anxious. If Kojima Minako didn’t recognize the Ice Soul Needle and then used true qi afterward, that would be truly disastrous.

”Her legs are completely numb below the knees,” the middle-aged man replied in an indifferent tone.

In an instant, Xiao Tian felt as if thunder was rumbling in his mind, not expecting that what he feared most had still happened...

Thinking of Kojima Minako, a paragon among women, even possessing more power than he did at his peak, yet now unable to move again, his heart couldn’t help but feel guilty, and a flicker of uncontrollable killing intent began to flash in his eyes!

”I will avenge her...” Xiao Tian murmured in a low voice, although the voice was faint, the determination within the words was undeniable, beyond any doubt.

Hearing Xiao Tian’s words, the middle-aged man was just about to leave but paused. Without turning back, he slightly tilted his head and said, ”No need, the Mizuno Clan is finished...”

With those words hanging in the air, the figure vanished completely from the room, leaving Xiao Tian frowning, for he felt that the middle-aged man’s strength had significantly diminished when he left.

Although still powerful, it clearly differed from before, somewhat similar to Xiao Tian’s prior decline in strength.

...

Shaking his head, Xiao Tian temporarily cleared the distractions in his mind, fully focusing on activating the scant amount of true qi left, slowly operating the cultivation technique, and gradually healing his injuries.

It was evident that during his one and a half days of unconsciousness, the middle-aged man had indeed fed him quite a bit of good stuff, but because he was in a comatose state, unable to absorb the medicinal effects with the cultivation technique, most of the medicine’s efficacy was wasted.

Nonetheless, it’s not a big issue. Given Xiao Tian’s current condition, absorbing too much medicine at once might not necessarily be a good thing. The remaining medicine in his body was just within his flexible control range.

Once he absorbed and converted it to restore his mobility, with Adison Claire’s arrival and the combination of the Shaking Light Disc and the Megrez Stone, recovery in a short period wouldn’t be too difficult!

...

Xiao Tian, now focused, didn’t realize the passage of time at all. By the time he completely digested the residual medicine in his body, the sun was already hanging low outside the window, and it was nearing dusk.

Stretching his arms to loosen up, the internal injuries having calmed down, Xiao Tian didn’t care much about the external wounds. He had experienced far more severe injuries.

Saying it’s painless might be an exaggeration, but at least he didn’t consider it a big issue like an ordinary person might.

However, just as Xiao Tian was about to lazily stretch, having just raised his arms, he heard a sharp female voice: ”Don’t move!” The tone was incredibly tense, with a hint of anger.

Xiao Tian was almost startled off the bed by the scream, and after stopping his actions, he saw the woman from before, holding a cup of water, looking at him with displeasure in her lovely eyes.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Tian felt a bit strange, but before he could ask, the woman fumed, ”Can’t you respect me a little?”

”Did I... disrespect you in some way?” Xiao Tian instinctively looked at his attire. Though his upper body was almost entirely exposed, his lower half was much better, despite being covered in blood stains and looking messy, the important parts weren’t exposed, so he couldn’t help but wonder.

The woman rushed forward in two steps, cautiously lowering Xiao Tian’s arm that was in mid-air, then said, ”His Majesty gave me countless instructions to take care of you, but you being so careless, if the wounds reopen, wouldn’t I be in big trouble?”

”...”

Actually, after saying this, the woman started to regret, thinking about how the middle-aged man emphasized Xiao Tian, she couldn’t help but feel anxious...

Now it’s really troublesome, wouldn’t he be displeased with me because of this?

Although the woman’s words were well-meaning, it’s sometimes ironic that even good intentions must consider whether the other party can accept them. This is the survival law of those at the lowest level!

Looking at the woman, her hands folded in front of her and occasionally sneaking glances at him, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but shake his head and smile, guessing her thoughts, and softly said, ”Oh, that’s why. Indeed, I didn’t consider that, my apologies!”

The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly explained, ”I just got anxious for a moment... you, you’re not mad, right?” Her voice filled with uncertainty and nervousness.

”I understand!” Xiao Tian nodded seriously, his face carrying a warm smile like a spring breeze, making it hard for anyone to doubt he was being dismissive or perfunctory.

Upon seeing Xiao Tian’s smile, the woman couldn’t help but be taken aback. Since entering royal service, it was the first time someone had smiled at her so sincerely, completely different from the polite smiles she was accustomed to.

At the same time, her heart ached, and tears welled up in her eyes.

”Did I do something wrong again?” Xiao Tian, noticing her reaction, asked confusedly.
