Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Deep Affection_1

”Die Wu, you’ve finally awakened!”

Watching Die Wu’s eyes open and her regaining consciousness, Hou Jingwu’s face was filled with excitement and exhilaration, his hands tightly gripping hers. At that moment, he felt as if this were all a dream, so unreal, as though when he’d wake up, Die Wu would still be asleep.

”Jing Wu!”

With her bright eyes looking at Hou Jingwu, Die Wu softly called his name. With those two words, Hou Jingwu knew this was not a dream. Everything was real, and the woman he loved had finally woken up after more than a year of slumber.

”Haha, Die Wu, you’re really awake!”

Hou Jingwu hugged Die Wu tightly, his eyes brimming with tears of joy, a few drops spilling out.

”Ah!”

But at that moment, a look of pain crossed Die Wu’s face, and she couldn’t help but let out a sharp cry.

”Die Wu, what’s wrong? Are you feeling discomfort anywhere?”

Seeing the pain on Die Wu’s face, Hou Jingwu’s own expression changed instantly, again filled with worry.

”Don’t worry, her soul has just recovered, and there are still some adverse reactions. It will get better slowly,” Ye Luo said.

”Jing Wu, who is this person? And where are we?”

Very soon, Die Wu’s expression eased, and her gaze filled with unfamiliarity and questions as she looked at Ye Luo and the room around her.

”Die Wu, this gentleman is the great benefactor who saved you. Without him, you wouldn’t have woken up. We are in my secular home,” Hou Jingwu explained while looking at Die Wu, slowly recounting the events of the past year.

”I must quickly tell my eldest brother and father this news!”

At this, Hou Yaoyue’s eyes sparkled with happiness as she quickly left the room.

”Jing Wu, thank you. Thank you for doing so much for me. But you shouldn’t have tormented yourself like this. For my sake, you’ve already sacrificed a lot.”

Die Wu’s eyes, filled with deep love, gazed at Ye Luo as she slowly lifted her jade hand and gently caressed Hou Jingwu’s face, full of tender affection.

”Die Wu, for you, I would do anything, even if it meant sacrificing myself.”

A determined look flashed through Hou Jingwu’s eyes.

”Jing Wu, I love you!” Deeply moved, Die Wu gazed at Hou Jingwu and gently kissed his lips.

At that moment, Hou Xiangguo and others, led by Hou Yaoyue, arrived in the room, their faces showing shock and astonishment upon seeing Die Wu awake.

”Grandfather, Father!”

Hou Jingwu looked at Hou Xiangguo and the others, calling out to them one by one.

”She’s really woken up, this is wonderful!”

Hou Xiangguo and Hou Yaoyang were visibly ecstatic. Over the past year, their most cherished grandson and son had become disheartened because of Die Wu. They had watched him suffer, deteriorating into a drunken mess, which naturally made their hearts ache.

Now that Die Wu had awoken, it meant that Hou Jingwu could once again rise from his despondency. They all felt a great sense of relief in their hearts.

”It’s good that you’ve awakened, good that you’ve awakened!”

Hou Xiangguo nodded, his face brimming with smiles.

”Die Wu, this is my grandfather, this is my father, and these two are my third uncle and fourth aunt!”

Hou Jingwu pointed at Hou Xiangguo and the others as he introduced them to Die Wu, who, seeing such a large group of people, showed a blush and a shy expression, not knowing quite how to speak.

”Haha, Die Wu, there’s no need to be so shy, from now on we’re all one family. We’ve all noticed Jing Wu’s affection for you, and from now on you’ll be my granddaughter-in-law,” Hou Xiangguo said with a laugh.

Die Wu’s cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head, too shy to speak. Meanwhile, Hou Jingwu also showed a smile, his gaze landing on Ye Luo, then abruptly bowed deeply to him:

”Thank you, sir, for your timely rescue. If not for you, Die Wu might not have been able to rise. Please accept my bow,” Hou Jingwu said.

Hou Jingwu was about to kneel and bow, but Ye Luo stopped him.

”No need for that, I’ve already said it, I was moved by your affection, that’s why I made a move. There’s no need for such formalities,” Ye Luo shook his head.

”Ye, today you not only saved an old man’s life but also saved my granddaughter-in-law, and even more so, you rescued my grandson. You can truly be called our Hou Family’s great benefactor,” Hou Xiangguo said with gratitude as he looked at Ye Luo.

”Grandfather, what is going on?” Hou Jingwu’s expression changed at Hou Xiangguo’s words, and then Hou Yaoyang recounted the story of Ye Luo healing the old master.

”So that’s how it is, Mr. Ye really is a benefactor to our Hou family,” said Hou Jingwu, his eyes intently on Ye Luo as he seriously added:

”From now on, no matter what happens, as long as Mr. Ye needs something done by me, Hou Jingwu, just give the order. Whatever it is, I will not shirk my duty.”

”Don’t worry, I’ll definitely have use for you,” Ye Luo said with a smile, knowing that possessing the Star Physique, Hou Jingwu would definitely stand at the peak of martial arts someday.

Today, since Ye Luo had saved his beloved, Hou Jingwu would surely be a great asset to him in the future, making Ye Luo feel that his gains were not small indeed.

”Alas, it’s a pity that your Dantian was destroyed, Jing Wu; otherwise, with your talent, you would have achieved extraordinary accomplishments in the martial arts,” Hou Xiangguo remarked with a hint of sorrow in his expression.

Hou Yaoyang and Hou Yaochen couldn’t help but sigh. Hou Jingwu, with his exceptional martial arts talents, was highly regarded and trained by the Sect Leader of Jiu Hua Sect. Despite his young age, he was a Saint Realm powerhouse, and now it was truly a pity that his Dantian had been crippled.

”Father, I seem to have heard that within the Hidden Sects, there are Elixirs that can restore the Dantian. Perhaps we could let Jing Wu take one to regain his ability to cultivate,” Hou Yaochen suddenly suggested.

”Really? If that’s true, that would be wonderful,” Hou Xiangguo said excitedly.

At this point, Ye Luo spoke up, ”It’s not so troublesome. Although Hou young master’s Dantian has been destroyed, his strength has not been discarded.”

Hou Xiangguo and the others were startled by Ye Luo’s words, while Hou Jingwu’s eyes flashed with a hint of amazement looking at Ye Luo.

”That’s right, I have a special constitution that allows me to cultivate even without a Dantian. Grandfather, father, rest assured, I will not let you down. I will kill the bastard who destroyed my Dantian and caused Die Wu to be comatose for a year with my own hands to avenge us both!”

Hou Jingwu’s eyes flashed with resolute determination, along with an undercurrent of killing intent.

”Jing Wu, don’t be impulsive, that person is a disciple of the superpower Dao Sect, with massive influence. It’s not something we can afford to provoke. Let’s just live our lives well. I don’t want you to seek revenge for me,” Die Wu hurriedly said, pulling at Hou Jingwu.

”Miss Die Wu, rest assured, with Hou young master’s talent and his formidable physique, once he truly grows up, even those superpower Sects will have to bow before him,” Ye Luo remarked with a confident smile at the corner of his mouth.
