Yuan mumbled in a dazed voice, as he wasn’t expecting anything to happen. However, to his surprise, his body actually had a reaction when he tried to cultivate! Even though it was unpleasant and very painful, it is still a reaction nonetheless!
And wanting to confirm that it was not just his imaginations, Yuan tried to cultivate again.
A few seconds later, the same pain occurred within his body.
“Ah! It hurt! It really hurts! Hahahaha! It actually hurts! I can actually feel something!” Yuan laughed loudly, as it has been a long time since he had felt any profound sensation from his body ever since it became numb and crippled.
Sometime later, Yu Rou returned to his room with a wheelchair and some servants.
*Cough* *Cough*
The servants were caught off guard by the intense smell and began coughing, feeling like they were being choked by the stench.
“Brother, let’s get you out of that bed and clean those black gunk off your body. I have also called for a doctor who will be here shortly to look at your body.” Yu Rou said to him as she pulled his body from the sticky impurities with effort and while ignoring the smell that was assaulting her nose.
Once Yuan was seated in the wheelchair, Yu Rou said to the servants, “I want this place cleaned up by tomorrow morning. However, keep some of that black gunk for the doctor to examine later.”
“Yes, Young Lady.”
The servants bowed to her with respect, not daring to utter a single complaint in her presence.
After Yu Rou left the room with Yuan, the servants immediately began to curse under their breaths.
“What the heck! Why do we have to clean after that cripple?!”
“What even are these black gunks? It’s all sticky and nasty, not to mention its horrendous smell!”
“This is probably caused by the young master’s condition. I have never seen anything like this before, but I won’t be surprised he dies within the next few days…”
“Hmph! The faster he passes the better!”
“I feel bad for the young lady, who wasted so many hours of her life tending to him only for him to die like that…”
While the servants started cleaning the stinky room and the dirty bed, Yu Rou entered the bathroom with Yuan.
After taking off Yuan’s clothes, Yu Rou used the showerhead to rinse the impurities off his body.
Once that was done, she began scrubbing his body that was still sitting on the wheelchair with some fragrant body wash. However, because the stench from the impurities was quite strong, Yu Rou had to wash and rinse his body three times before the rotten smell could fully disappear.
“I’m sorry, Yu Rou…” Yuan sighed.
“What are you saying now? I have been washing your body like this once a week for years now— this is not much different except for the smell.” Yu Rou said to him.
And she continued, “I can only hope that it’s nothing serious and the doctor can explain what had caused that black gunk to appear… It’s sticky and oily like wet slime, but I have never seen anything like this before…”
“Me too…” Yuan said.
While he has an idea of what the black gunks are and why it appeared, he didn’t dare to say it to her without confirmation, as he’d only sound crazy for saying such a thing.
A few minutes later, after rinsing Yuan’s body for the fourth time, Yu Rou said, “Give me a moment to rinse myself off.”
Sometime later, once Yu Rou cleaned the impurities that were sticking to her body, she pulled Yuan’s light body off the wheelchair and carried him into the massive bathtub that was right beside them before sitting in the bathtub with him.
“How do you feel right now, brother? Does it hurt anywhere? While there are no injuries on your body, I am still worried about your condition.” Yu Rou asked him while hugging his back from behind.
“No, I am perfectly fine,” he quickly responded.
“Haaa… When I first saw you submerged in that black gunk, I was nearly scared to death, thinking that something terrible might have happened to you,” she sighed in relief afterward.
However, she still wasn’t free of worries, as she still needed to know why his body discharged that black gunk.
