“Commander, you’re awake!”
A surprised voice called out, gradually bringing Ye Zhongming’s consciousness back to reality.
When he was unconscious, he hadn’t felt much, but now that he had woken up, intense pain surged over him like a tide, causing Ye Zhongming to grunt involuntarily. His consciousness blurred again, and it felt like he could faint at any moment.
“Open your mouth, taking this will help a bit,” a strange female voice said beside him, and a fragrant pill was brought to his nose.
However, Ye Zhongming didn’t open his mouth. Instead, he turned his head with effort to see who the woman was.
“Zhong Ming, she is our clan’s Sister Seven Needles,” He said, her beautiful face coming into Ye Zhongming's view.
Only then did Ye Zhongming slowly open his mouth, holding the pill inside.
It wasn’t bitter; on the contrary, it had a hint of sweetness, though it wasn’t the kind that dissolved immediately upon entry.
“Use a bit of energy to stimulate it,” the woman called Sister Seven Needles, a long void water clan member, advised.
Ye Zhongming slightly used his energy, and another wave of severe pain hit him, causing his body to tremble. Fortunately, he was still able to dissolve the medicine.
He didn’t know what level the medicine was, but the moment it dissolved, he felt a gentle force surging within him, nourishing each cell. The intense pain immediately subsided significantly, and his body felt a bit better.
This showed that the level of the medicine was definitely not low.
“Sister Seven Needles is an expert in healing medicines in our clan. She doesn’t just master the refining techniques of our Long Void Water Clan; she excels in other areas as well. This pill is modified from a six transformations medicine she created, making it extremely precious. Unfortunately, it must be activated with one’s own energy. If you hadn’t woken up, we wouldn’t have been able to feed it to you…”
He explained warmly.
Ye Zhongming’s actions truly rallied the hearts of all the long void water clan members.
For the first time in many years, the Long Void Su Clan saw genuine hope and felt that someone was sincerely caring for them.
If someone was willing to gamble their life for them, who else could they trust and be loyal to?
From Ye Zhongming's perspective, his reasons for intervening were certainly not as simple as the long void water clan imagined. For instance, he wanted to disrupt the situation in Dark Strip City so that those vampires wouldn’t have the energy to drain the Star Eye Clan’s blood temporarily.
He also wanted to showcase his strength to many people; it was a warning to enemies and a declaration to potential collaborators. Moreover, the ever-present sense of crisis bore down on him, and he needed an outlet.
Of course, there would inevitably be some unforeseen consequences from this event, and Ye Zhongming was eager to see what would happen.
Having recovered a bit, Ye Zhongming looked around the room and noticed that only two long void water clan women were present. This action led He to misunderstand, and she explained, “I know I shouldn’t have come, but since you were injured, and it was for our long void water clan, I must stay by your side to take care of you.
Furthermore, the long void water clan is indeed a dying race, but as long as one of us survives, it gives us one more life in battle. Not to mention, we still have many alive, and we can refine various medicines. I think, when you negotiate with the Su Clan, even if we don’t qualify as bargaining chips, at the very least we can help strengthen your position.”
At that moment, He was a qualified clan leader.
“Only the two of us came up; the others are following your orders and continuing to lurk in Dark Strip City,” the woman called Sister Seven Needles said softly.
Ye Zhongming smiled, which pulled at his wound and caused some pain, but it was much better than before.
He felt a bit uncomfortable and tentatively reached out to disperse the temperature-controlling energy layer covering him.
