Chapter 867: The Two Injured
After returning to the Bamboo House through the spatial passage, Kaguya threw herself onto the bamboo bed to one side, then rolled around on it.
"Mm, it really is more comfortable back at Teacher's home!" Kaguya said, squinting her eyes with a look of contentment.
In terms of furnishings and luxury, Lingyun's Bamboo House naturally could not compare to the Palace where Kaguya lived in the Moon Capital. However, in Kaguya's heart, the time she spent as Lingyun's student was the happiest period of her life. Therefore, the Bamboo House built by Lingyun held a unique status in her heart as well.
"Lingyun, I'm hungry!" Yuyuko lay on the table and said to Lingyun in a soft, limp voice.
"You!" Lingyun chuckled, then took a stack of pastries from his own space and placed them in front of Yuyuko.
"Mm, Lingyun, you're the best!" Seeing the pastries placed before her, Yuyuko's eyes lit up instantly, and she reached out to pick one up and put it in her mouth. "Yukari, you come eat too!"
While enjoying Lingyun's pastries, Yuyuko did not forget to invite her good friend.
"You don't need to keep up appearances when you're with me. I don't know what you and Yagokoro Eirin were thinking; it was supposed to be just an act, yet you ended up fighting until you were both badly injured!" Lingyun rolled his eyes at Yakumo Yukari beside him.
"Cough, cough, I suppose I couldn't hide it from you after all!" Yakumo Yukari gave a light cough, reached out to wipe her mouth, and cleared away a bit of fresh blood from the corner of her lips.
"Yukari, are you hurt?" Yuyuko's heart tightened; she stopped eating the pastry in her hand, threw herself beside Yakumo Yukari, and asked with an anxious look.
"It's nothing, just some minor injuries!" Yakumo Yukari waved her hand, signaling Yuyuko not to worry. "Besides, it's rare to have the chance to battle the legendary Brain of the Moon; I had to test her strength! I didn't expect that the Brain of the Moon's strength would be so much greater than I imagined! However, she didn't get the better of me either!"
"You two!" Lingyun shook his head helplessly. "Give me your hand!"
Yakumo Yukari subconsciously handed her hand to Lingyun: "Is something the matter?"
Lingyun reached out, grasped Yakumo Yukari's hand, and Source Power flowed slowly into her body. Feeling the warm current circulating within her body and continuously repairing her injuries, Yakumo Yukari could not help but squint her eyes slightly.
"I really didn't expect that your power, little brother, would have such a special effect!"
"To tell the truth, it's only this special when it comes to you alone. If others were to absorb my Source Power casually, it would cause unpredictable consequences!" Lingyun rolled his eyes and said. "I'm also curious why you can absorb my Source Power directly without my conversion."
"So that's how it is? Then perhaps there really is some karmic connection between the two of us!" Feeling the injuries in her body completely stabilize under the effect of the Source Power, Yakumo Yukari withdrew her hand and said with a grin.
"Don't you go thinking you can rely on my ability to quickly heal your injuries to go out and act recklessly!" Lingyun looked at Yakumo Yukari's darting eyes and knew exactly what kind of mischief she was plotting.
"No, no, Yukari, you can't act recklessly!" Yuyuko hugged Yakumo Yukari and said with puffed-out cheeks.
"Alright, alright, I won't take any risks!" Looking at the girl who was worried about her, Yakumo Yukari's tone carried a hint of doting that she herself had not even noticed.
"Teacher, is Eirin hurt?" Kaguya, who had been rolling around on the bed, suddenly jumped up, leaned toward Lingyun, and asked with some concern.
"Eirin is a doctor herself; she can find suitable medicine to take even if she is injured, so you don't need to worry." Lingyun said with a smile.
"Oh." Hearing Lingyun's words, Kaguya nodded subconsciously, her tone carrying a hint of distraction.
Moon Capital.
Yagokoro Eirin stood before the door, gazing toward Earth. A cold wind blew by, and she gave a light cough, then reached out to quietly wipe away the blood at the corner of her mouth.
"Master, are you alright?" Watatsuki no Yorihime looked at Yagokoro Eirin, her tone carrying a hint of worry.
"I'm fine, just minor injuries." Yagokoro Eirin waved her hand and said. "I didn't expect the Sage of Youkai to hide such powerful strength, which nearly made me suffer a great loss. However, she shouldn't be doing much better than me right now!"
"You two, both of you are people who love to push yourselves; is there any point in making yourselves look like this?" A helpless voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
"Who is it?" Watatsuki no Yorihime suddenly drew the Samurai Sword at her waist and looked around with a vigilant expression.
Lingyun stepped out from the Void and tossed a small bottle toward Yagokoro Eirin.
Yagokoro Eirin caught the small bottle and opened the stopper; a delicate fragrance wafted out from within. Smelling this scent, Yagokoro Eirin felt the throbbing pain in her body subside quite a bit.
"Why have you come to the Moon Capital again?" Yagokoro Eirin, having replaced the stopper, looked at Lingyun and asked with a frown.
"It's because your Princess heard you were hurt and was worried to death, so she made me come quickly to check on your condition." Lingyun spread his hands and said.
"How did the Princess know I was hurt?" Yagokoro Eirin had great confidence in her acting skills; she did not believe Kaguya could have seen that she was injured.
"Because Yakumo Yukari went to my place!" Lingyun said. "Alright, take the medicine first; don't think about using it for research. There are some substances inside that are the crystallization of my power; you won't be able to replicate them!"
"How would I know if I don't try?"
Looking at Yagokoro Eirin's expression that clearly said she would definitely research it, Lingyun shook his head helplessly, then condensed a green crystal in his hand and tossed it to Yagokoro Eirin.
"What is this?" Yagokoro Eirin looked at the crystal in her hand; she felt an aura similar to the pill in the bottle emanating from this crystal.
"This thing is what I said you wouldn't be able to replicate; you can try researching it."
Having obtained what she wanted, Yagokoro Eirin did not hesitate and swallowed the pill Lingyun had given her.
"When you have time, go see Kaguya at my place; I can see that Kaguya is still quite reluctant to part with you!" Seeing that Yagokoro Eirin had already taken the medicine, Lingyun waved his hand at her, his figure retreated, and he vanished into the Void.
"This guy, can even the Barrier of the Moon Capital not stop him?" Watatsuki no Yorihime stared at the spot where Lingyun had disappeared and said through gritted teeth.
"That guy has plenty of tricks up his sleeve!" Yagokoro Eirin shook her head, then turned and walked into the house. "You should go rest first; tomorrow, we still have many things to do!"
"Yes, Master!" Watatsuki no Yorihime bowed to Yagokoro Eirin's back, then turned and left.
