Gu Feng woke up to find himself lying in a hospital bed.

At the edge of the bed, Lin Yue was by his side, asleep with her head bowed down.

Looking at the bandaged wound on her forehead, and recalling how this woman had fearlessly confronted his crazed self, Gu Feng’s eyes softened considerably.

Unconsciously, he reached out to stroke Lin Yue’s hair.

Just then, Lin Yue woke up.

Gu Feng instinctively withdrew his hand, feeling a bit presumptuous.

"You’re awake!" Lin Yue exclaimed joyfully, getting up to call for the doctor.

But Gu Feng called out to her, "No need to call them, I’m fine now."

The Third Persona had been erased by him!

And he had gained all of the other’s abilities and memories through reverse devouring!

He really should thank Lin Yue. In the earlier struggle for his body, in fact, he had been slightly at a disadvantage in every aspect.

After all, the other had emerged when he was most vulnerable, fully prepared to take advantage of any opportunity.

Just as he was on the verge of defeat, a pair of hands had reached out to pull him back from the brink of the cliff.

"Thank you," Gu Feng said softly to Lin Yue.

It was the first time Lin Yue ever heard Gu Feng thank her with such seriousness.

Her joy was written all over her face, and perhaps realizing she couldn’t hide her happiness, she changed the subject slightly, "Would you like some fruit? I’ll peel it for you."

Gu Feng shook his head, unable to resist looking at Lin Yue.

After this incident, Lin Yue seemed like a brand seared into his heart.

But.

He sighed, "Let’s get a divorce."

Lin Yue’s body trembled violently.

The apple she was about to peel fell from her hand.

She didn’t bother to pick it up, her joyful expression from a second ago freezing, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears.

Then she met Gu Feng’s gaze, demanding, "Why?"

"You saw it, that is my illness," Gu Feng maintained eye contact with her, neither of them avoiding each other’s gaze at that moment, "Aren’t you afraid? If there’s a next time, you won’t be so lucky, you could die!"

"So, is this why you actually like me, but refuse to respond to me?" Lin Yue looked at him with teary eyes, her pitiful charm evident, "I tell you, Gu Feng, if there is a next time, I will still reach out to you like that."

Saying this, she picked up the apple from the ground, put it back, then took a deep breath, began to cover Gu Feng with the quilt on her own, and stubbornly said, "I don’t agree to the divorce!"

"If my death can make you feel guilty and restrain your multiple personalities, then let me die. After all, I’m just a woman who lost her freedom in an arranged marriage, so let’s say I died before meeting you. That’s why I’m not afraid and don’t care."

Gu Feng: "I care!"

Lin Yue paused.

Gu Feng exposed his true feelings, "It’s because I care that I know my illness can hurt you."

Lin Yue couldn’t hold back any longer, tears streaming down her face. She looked at Gu Feng with tearful, moving eyes, pitifully resting her head on him, and with a tilted head said, "Don’t worry about what will happen in the future. Haven’t we been walking together until now? Can’t we just continue like before, please?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Gu Feng reached out to caress her face, wiping away the tears that were falling.

He said, "You’ve been up all night, haven’t you? Get some sleep."

Lin Yue shook her head, "I’m scared to sleep, afraid of losing you."

This double entendre made Gu Feng sigh and he coaxed her, "Go to sleep."

Lin Yue didn’t speak, just lay there with her head tilted, occasionally opening her eyes to look at Gu Feng, holding his hand.

Sometimes this aloof woman also showed a playful and girlish side.

Gu Feng closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.

After about ten minutes, Lin Yue’s long eyelashes began to droop, and then she gently closed her eyes, falling into a deep sleep.

Gu Feng slightly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth gently curving upward, truly at a loss with this woman.

He extended his hand, controlling the blanket from the chair to fly across the space, gently landing on Lin Yue to cover her.

Then, he once again closed his eyes to focus inwardly on the current state of his body.

This fainting spell lasted a full day.

With the inheritance of the persona’s abilities, his Dantian had successfully undergone Infant Binding!

Yes, his Cultivation Plane self possessed the Cultivation of the Infant Binding period.

This was equivalent to the strength to live outside of the body with the Infant Spirit.

That is also why his mental persona existed independently within Gu Feng’s body.

However, he would need Gu Feng to rest more to slowly recover his abilities and realm.

Gu Feng was not worried about this, because even having only one-tenth of it was enough for him to be safe and carefree.

Most importantly, possessing the formations and even more exquisite elixir refining techniques of that persona meant for the current civilization, it was akin to a dimension-lowering existence!

As that persona mentioned, Gu Feng’s two previous personas’ elixirs and strength still fell within the category of a Level 1 civilization.

But the legacy of the Cultivation Civilization would allow Gu Feng to have more to strive for in this world!

On the other hand.

The Dragon Nation’s higher-ups had already issued an order to seal off all information regarding the "Gu Feng incident"!

This matter was classified as top-secret, and all witnesses and participants were ordered to ensure it did not leak.

Because it involved Gu Feng’s Combat Power, which was entirely eligible as a research direction for the development of a certain civilization!

At least until they determine whether the path of Martial Arts Cultivation can be developed quantitatively, the video and related information absolutely cannot be revealed.
