Dashing Student-Chapter 1296: Restoring Appearance

The space before him was like a scroll painting, as a rift tore open in front of Chen Nan, revealing an entirely different world inside.

At this moment, he seemed like a god, peering into another realm through the rift. He could see distant villages and towns, and figures moving within them.

Finally, he couldn’t hold on any longer, and the blade tip fell directly to the ground, while the rift before him rapidly closed.

Having endured the Space Law, his body was on the verge of collapse, with wounds opening up and blood gushing out, turning him into a bloody mess.

Chen Nan’s mind was dizzy, almost fainting, but he gritted his teeth and stuffed several Healing Pills into his mouth, quickly beginning to recover from his injuries.

Green light emerged from his wounds, as the Wood Demon Core within him took effect.

After a few hours, Chen Nan finally opened his eyes, with his wounds barely healed.

"Phew, that was terrifying. What exactly is the origin of this blade tip? And what was that space rift?"

Chen Nan exhaled deeply, his mind filled with questions. He stepped forward to pick up the blade tip, his brow furrowed.

"Perhaps the function of the blade tip is to connect two locations across space?"

The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. If it was as he suspected, then this blade tip was an extraordinary treasure, the ultimate means of escape.

Imagine being trapped in a desperate situation, using this blade tip to instantly arrive at another place, perhaps hundreds or even thousands of miles away, allowing him to escape danger in a moment’s notice.

"This blade tip alone is so powerful; how strong would an entire blade be?" Chen Nan couldn’t help but speculate.

However, with his current cultivation level, using the blade tip would cause massive backlash, so it must not be used unless absolutely necessary.

After carefully putting away the blade tip, Chen Nan changed into clean clothes. The blade tip was indeed a remarkable treasure, and if given the chance, he hoped to find its other parts.

Just as he was about to continue cultivating, there was a sudden knock on the door. Opening it revealed Zheng Yunzhou.

"Did I disturb you? I just wanted to give you something. These are all things scavenged from Island Master Yang Xiu. Please accept them without hesitation."

After overthrowing Island Master Yang Xiu, Deng Yunhe and the others thoroughly searched the Island Master Mansion, not even leaving out the floor tiles. If they could have carried it away, they probably would have stripped the surface.

Even the Li Mansion wasn’t spared, as Deng Yunhe also took Daoist Cui for a round of scavenging before they left; since it would benefit others otherwise, it might as well benefit them.

Zheng Yunzhou handed over a bulging storage bag. Chen Nan opened it to find millions of spirit stones inside, and only spirit stones.

"We noticed you’d been exchanging for a lot of spirit stones before, so we assumed you probably needed a lot. So instead of other items, we converted everything to spirit stones for you."

For any Golden Core Realm Cultivator, such an amount of spirit stones would be an incredible treasure, but for Chen Nan, it was merely a drop in the ocean of his monthly cultivation consumption.

Nonetheless, it was a kind gesture, and he gladly accepted it, gently patting Zheng Yunzhou’s shoulder: "Take care."

"Don’t worry." Zheng Yunzhou nodded, "I’ll live well from now on."

As he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Chen Nan say: "Let’s go together; Ning Yu’s face should be about ready."

They walked onto the deck, where Deng Yunhe and the others were distributing the spoils of battle. Since most of the spirit stones were given to Chen Nan, the remaining spiritual artifacts, talismans, and elixir pills were theirs.

Officially, such matters would be handled by personnel from the Righteous Alliance, but having already left and heading towards the front lines, this incident was destined to remain unresolved.

Ning Yu had obtained several suitable spiritual artifacts and was secretly delighted when she suddenly noticed Chen Nan walking towards her, causing her to become tense with anticipation.

"I see your face is almost healed. Let me help you remove the bandages."

Ning Yu, overwhelmed with emotion, nodded repeatedly, though her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s: "Okay."

Chen Nan approached and carefully unwound the bandages from Ning Yu’s face, drawing the eyes of Deng Yunhe and the other two in unison.

As the bandages were removed, a flawless face appeared before everyone, with skin so delicate it seemed as though it might break at the lightest touch, free of the unsightly scars. Ning Yu’s true beauty shone once more.

Deng Yunhe was the first to jump up: "Wow, you’re so beautiful! Um... could I pursue you?"

Ning Yu’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, unable to open her eyes. She had grown accustomed to hiding her appearance, and now that she could face the world again, how could she not be nervous?

But hearing Deng Yunhe’s words, she couldn’t hold back and directly opened her eyes, sharply retorting: "Get lost! I can’t stand fops like you!"

Deng Yunhe rubbed his nose with an embarrassed laugh, speaking with a bit less assurance: "I’m no fop anymore."

He’d been kicked out of his own home, not even having the privilege to be a fop.

The others chuckled kindly, and as Ning Yu turned around, she saw Chen Nan holding up a mirror in front of her, looking at her warmly.

In the mirror, her features were delicate and her eyebrows like a painting, not as peerlessly beautiful as Tu Susu or Sikong Lingxi, but still a rare beauty.

"Is this really me?"

Ning Yu touched her face, unable to hold back her sobs, and suddenly stood up to tightly embrace Chen Nan: "Thank you, thank you so much..."

"Oh no, my heart is shattered." Deng Yunhe clutched his chest with an exaggerated expression, but was soon dragged into the cabin by Zheng Yunzhou.

Daoist Cui also stood up and returned to his room, leaving the space to Chen Nan and Ning Yu.

Chen Nan raised an eyebrow, feeling that things were not quite right. Did they think he had helped Ning Yu with thoughts of lust for her body?

Their relationship was purely a revolutionary friendship!

"Alright, now that your appearance is restored, don’t act rashly anymore. It’d be such a waste to mar such a pretty face."

Ning Yu raised her head, her face still streaked with tears: "Am I really pretty?"

"Of course!" Chen Nan replied earnestly.

"Then do you... like me?" Ning Yu suddenly asked frankly.

For a moment, Chen Nan was stunned and quickly stepped back: "Don’t misunderstand, I have no such intentions..."

"But I do." Ning Yu mustered her courage, knowing that she might only have the courage this one time in her life, so she didn’t hold back.

Chen Nan was at a loss: "Ning Yu, what you feel for me is gratitude, not love. Let’s both calm down a bit."

Finishing, he quickly retreated to his room, looking like a thief from behind.

Ning Yu chuckled secretly, clenching her small fists: "Hehe, this time I definitely won’t let you escape!"
