The next day.
As the sky brightened, Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor couldn't stay in his room any longer and arrived early at Qin Chen's courtyard to wait.
Soon after, Mo Li and the Undying Emperor Supreme also came to the same place to wait.
After a moment, the courtyard door creaked open, and Qin Chen and Sisi walked out.
"Eh."
As soon as they came out, Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor exclaimed in surprise, looking at Sisi with a puzzled expression, his mouth slightly agape.
"What's wrong, Ten Thousand Bones?" Qin Chen frowned, looking at him. What was up with Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor, always so jumpy?
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor excitedly said, "Young Master Chen, this is a good omen! Look, just one night has passed, and it seems like the mistress's complexion has improved significantly. She looks radiant, with a rosy complexion. Could it be that the courtyard where Mistress' mother, the Empress of the Dark Moon, once lived has special healing properties? If that’s the case, if the mistress returns to the Eternal Calamity Sea, her injuries might heal in an instant."
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was thrilled.
Mo Li and the Undying Emperor Supreme exchanged glances at Chen Sisi. They had to admit that Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was not exaggerating; Sisi's complexion was noticeably better compared to yesterday.
Previously, Sisi had a pale, sickly look, which made her seem more fragile, but now she looked much more spirited, a change that even an ordinary person could see.
Could it be that the courtyard where the Empress of the Dark Moon lived had a healing effect?
For a moment, Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor and Mo Li became even more curious about the legendary Empress of the Dark Moon and looked at the Undying Emperor Supreme.
The Undying Emperor Supreme smiled and said, "Hehe, it’s possible that Miss Sisi felt a sense of nostalgia last night when she saw the place where the master once lived, which eased her feelings and relaxed her mood. When the mood is good, the injuries naturally stabilize."
The two nodded in agreement.
It really could be true. The state of one's emotions can indeed have a positive effect on health; even ordinary people understand this.
Sisi smiled slightly, glancing shyly at Qin Chen. She naturally knew why her complexion had improved so much. Last night, she had accompanied Qin Chen alone, without any burdens, completely immersed in their wonderful interaction. The emotions that had been suppressed for so long were finally released.
How could she not look radiant?
"Eh?"
At that moment, Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor looked at Qin Chen and suddenly froze again.
"Young Master, your... your complexion seems to have worsened a bit, especially around your eyes; they look a bit dark, as if you're somewhat weak. Did you not rest well last night?"
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor scratched his head, confused.
Why was the mistress glowing while Young Master Chen looked weak?
Qin Chen’s expression darkened immediately.
Damn it, how can Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor say such things?
"If you can't speak properly, just say less," Qin Chen said with a dark face. He circulated his true essence, and his complexion immediately returned to normal.
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor looked a bit dazed.
He was just trying to show concern for Young Master Chen; why did he suddenly get angry?
Seeing this, the Undying Emperor Supreme smiled and said, "Son-in-law, you didn’t sleep last night either, right? You must be missing the master greatly. After all, the master is your mother-in-law, and although you and the master are not blood-related, you must still be very grateful and nostalgic for her, especially given how wonderful Miss Sisi is."
"Is that so?" Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor asked in confusion. "Does Young Master really miss the Empress of the Dark Moon?"
"You can shut up now," Qin Chen didn’t want to listen to Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor continue, his face dark as he scolded.
