Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 751: Master, Ah~

Chapter 751: Master, Ah~

...

The moment Chen Huaian returned to the Cangyun Realm, he was detected by Li Qingran.

She had a sixth sense for this; even if she wasn't cultivating in her master's cave dwelling, it didn't stop her from sensing her master's aura.

"Hehe, Master is back so early today. I can practice the Vast Sea Art with him again~"

She quickly changed into a pretty dress and skipped her way towards Chen Huaian's cave dwelling.

By now, Li Qingran was already sensing something unusual.

Normally, she would hear her master's call before she even reached his cave dwelling, but today... her master was completely silent.

Ruling out the possibility that her master had lost interest in her.

Either her master was in a bad mood, or her master was injured.

With that thought, Li Qingran's heart clenched with worry. She stopped her leisurely stroll and directly flew on her sword towards Chen Huaian's cave dwelling, even though it was only a few steps away.

As for Chen Huaian, he was suppressing his aura.

He hadn't intended to alert anyone upon his return, especially not Li Qingran, who he didn't want to see him in his current state.

However...

The next second, Li Qingran rushed in through the entrance.

His cave dwelling had no restrictions against Li Qingran; she could come whenever she pleased. It was no exaggeration to say that if Li Qingran ever wanted to kill him and hid assassins in his cave dwelling in advance, he would be none the wiser.

Seeing Li Qingran enter, Chen Huaian was instantly dumbfounded.

He hadn't leaked any aura at all!

How did Li Qingran know he was back and show up right on cue?

When Li Qingran saw Chen Huaian's appearance, she covered her mouth, her eyes instantly reddening.

"Master!"

Her voice trembled and distorted, filled with sorrow and fear.

Chen Huaian's current condition indeed looked extremely dire.

He himself felt it was terrible.

Only his upper torso remained, with half of his chest slowly reforming amidst flames. One could even see his beating heart through the fire. Coupled with his visibly weak aura at this moment, anyone would see he was severely injured.

And not just injured, but with his body crippled and incomplete.

"Qingran, ah..." Chen Huaian awkwardly tried to comfort her. "Your master is fine. It's just a little accident..."

"Master is already injured like this, and you still call it just a little accident?"

Li Qingran moved close to Chen Huaian's side, her hands hovering uncertainly, not knowing where to place them. She could only pace around anxiously. She could see her master's body was gradually recovering under some power, and she was terrified that touching him might worsen his injuries.

"Your master is really fine. I'll recover soon..."

Chen Huaian felt a pang of discomfort seeing his little disciple's tear-streaked face.

He really hadn't intended to return to the Cangyun Realm to let Li Qingran see him like this.

He just thought repairing his body in the Cangyun Realm was safer. After all, no matter how powerful Chen Niu was, he couldn't possibly find his way to the Cangyun Realm, right? He just needed to restore his body and buy time. Once the cooldown on the Sect Summoning Token ended, he could return to Earth Star and turn the tables.

"Master is not allowed to speak anymore." Li Qingran stuffed her small hand over Chen Huaian's mouth, sniffling as she spoke. "Your disciple will immediately summon all the sect elders to find a solution. And Senior Dan Yun, Senior Dan Yun will definitely have a way to heal you. Please wait here for a moment..."

In Li Qingran's eyes, the fact that her master could still speak despite being reduced to half a body was sheer stubborn endurance.

It was an act put on deliberately to comfort her.

Her master was truly too good to her.

Even in such a grievously injured state, he still considered her feelings...

With that, Li Qingran wiped the saliva from her hand and 'tap-tap-tapped' her way out of the cave dwelling. She needed to find help.

"Qingran, don't!"

Chen Huaian called out from behind.

He was afraid of losing face...

...

Five minutes later.

Inside Chen Huaian's cave dwelling, it was packed with people, layer upon layer, with the least important among them being at the elder level.

Each wore a grave, indignant expression as they looked at Chen Huaian, who was reduced to half a body.

A few female elders had reddened eyes, secretly wiping away tears.

"Ancestor, who did this?!" Zhang Mengchu's face was a mask of fury. "Who on earth injured you to this extent?!"

Zhang Mengchu couldn't fathom it. With the ancestor now being the Cangyun Realm's number one Sword Cultivator, and the Moon Shadow Sect being the world's foremost sect, who could, who would dare, harm the Moon Shadow Sect's ancestor? Were they not afraid of the Moon Shadow Sect's frenzied retaliation?

If it were monsters or cultivators from Earth Star, that was even more impossible.

Earth Star's cultivators and monsters were so weak, and the ancestor was at the Great Ascension Stage!

Even if he couldn't unleash his full power, dealing with those monsters and cultivators would be as easy as lifting a finger, right?

True, the ancestor occasionally called them to Earth Star for assistance.

But was that because the ancestor couldn't win?

That was the ancestor giving them a chance to shine!

It was a test for them!

Chen Huaian hung his head, feeling like a monkey in a zoo at this moment, and topless at that.

But things had already happened. The people had already been summoned by Li Qingran. No matter how awkward he felt, he could only accept it.

"This Venerable One fought with a Demon Immortal," Chen Huaian cleared his throat lightly. "A Demon Immortal, you know! The kind of monster that has already ascended to immortality."

"So that's it!" Lin Fan immediately chimed in, his eyes seething with killing intent. "When this venerable one slew that Demon Immortal's avatar, the ancestor said that Demon Immortal would definitely not let things rest. It seems the Demon Immortal's true form launched a reprisal. No wonder the ancestor was injured like this."

"Exactly." Chen Huaian really wanted to give Lin Fan a thumbs up.

This kid, he must have been smart since childhood!

"For the ancestor to survive against a Demon Immortal with Great Ascension Stage strength is truly incredible!"

"Yes, yes. That's an immortal! The gap is like heaven and earth. The ancestor is too awesome!"

"Looking at the ancestor's condition, even though half his body is gone, he speaks with such vigor. He probably still had plenty of strength to spare while facing the Demon Immortal's pursuit!"

The surrounding elders chattered, one after another, their words making Chen Huaian blush a little.

"You all are still underestimating the ancestor." Dan Yun stared intently at the flames on Chen Huaian's body and took over the conversation. "If this humble woman's guess is correct, the flames on the ancestor's body are no ordinary fire, but the fire of the divine beast, the Phoenix, right? Phoenix Fire possesses the effect of Nirvana rebirth. Not only did the ancestor survive the Demon Immortal's pursuit, he can even use a divine ability to reshape his body!"

She took a deep breath, utterly awestruck. "Truly worthy of being the ancestor. This humble woman is impressed!"

Seeing these old-timers chattering away, Li Qingran grew frantic.

"The reason for summoning all you seniors was to help Master recover. How did it turn into flattery? Could it be you all are just going to stand there and watch?"

Li Qingran's words immediately jolted the elders back to reality. They exchanged glances, each revealing awkward expressions.

They had been so focused on buttering up the ancestor that they forgot about treating his injuries...

"Since the ancestor already has Phoenix Fire repairing his body, we just need to find ways to speed up the process." Dan Yun took out a porcelain vial and poured out a pill from it. "This is a Celestial-grade Jade Segment Pill. It might help the ancestor's recovery."

Li Qingran took the pill, pinched Chen Huaian's chin, and said, "Master, ah~~~"

Chen Huaian: "..."

"Ah—!"

Li Qingran stuffed the pill in.

The pill slid down his esophagus and fell into the Phoenix Fire below.

Everyone fell silent, pretending not to see, all cooperating with Li Qingran's stern, serious expression.

"This is top-grade Dragon Marrow. This old man obtained it by chance in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It might also have an effect."

Li Qingran took that cup of glittering golden Dragon Marrow and said gently to Chen Huaian, "Master, ah~~~"

Chen Huaian glanced at Li Qingran's tense, pretty face and obediently opened his mouth.

The Dragon Marrow also flowed down his throat, dissolving into the Phoenix Fire.

"This is a three-thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng."

"This is a top-grade Vitality Pill, a first-grade elixir."

"This is the Rebirth Basin, a Spiritual Treasure. Let's plant the ancestor in it..."

The various elders each displayed their unique abilities, presenting various solutions one after another, and Li Qingran accepted them all.

Her eyes were only on her master, completely blind to the fact that all those treasures were falling into the Phoenix Fire.

—Except for that basin.

She stayed by Chen Huaian's side, silently watching as his body gradually repaired itself.

The surrounding elders went about their own business, as they could all see that Chen Huaian wasn't in any real danger.

As for revenge, that would definitely wait until the ancestor had fully recovered.

"Master, you must recover quickly."

Li Qingran held Chen Huaian's hand, pressing her cool, pretty cheek against it. Fierce flames danced in her eyes.

Whoever harmed her master must pay the price!

The Demon Immortal from Earth Star, is it...

Just you wait!
