I'm in the world of Xianjian

Chapter 140: Temporary Stay in Shushan

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Shen woke up.

He noticed that he was lying on a bed. The room was very simply furnished with a bed, a table with the four treasures of the study, three chairs, and a bookshelf with Confucian and Taoist books.

Lin Shen just wanted to get up, but he felt something pressing on his right arm, preventing him from getting up.

Looking closely, it was Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru who were sleeping on the edge of the bed, with their heads resting on Lin Shen's arms.

Lin Shen searched his body with his left arm and found that the brocade bag was still there. He then whispered a spell and conjured up two blankets from the brocade bag to cover the two women.

Lin Shen was afraid of waking them up, so he could only stare at the ceiling in a daze. Seeing that Lin Yueru was safe and sound, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After a while, Anu came in and found that Lin Shen had woken up. Just as Anu was about to open his mouth, Lin Shen put his fingers against his mouth and made a "hush" sound.

Anu tiptoed to the bedside and whispered, "Brother Anos, you finally woke up."

Lin Shen asked, "What happened? Why did I faint?"

"You were fighting continuously, and absorbing that Glazed Sword caused a significant loss of spiritual energy. That's why you fainted after transforming into that red giant and leading everyone out of the Demon Locking Tower.

You know, you've been unconscious for four days. The three of us, Sister Jiang, and Brother Li took turns watching over you.

Lin Shen then remembered the scene where he opened his Sharingan and activated Susanoo, forcibly broke through the wall of the Demon Locking Tower, and brought the six people out of the tower.

Lin Shen asked, "What is this place?"

"Brother Anos, don't worry. We are now in Shushan, and this is the guest room that Dugu Sword Saint found for us.

In fact, Senior Dugu and Senior Jiu Jianxian were also very worried about your safety. After sending the four of us in, they have been guarding outside the tower to prevent any accidents."

"Where are Xiaoyao and Miss Jiang?"

"They're resting in another room. I came to see how you're doing."

At this time, Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru were awakened by the conversation between the two. They were very excited to see that Lin Shen was awake.

Lin Shen looked at Lin Yueru and held her hand tightly. The two looked into each other's eyes, but could not utter a word.

After a long silence, Lin Shen finally opened his mouth and said softly, "Yueru, I did it!"

Although it was only six words, everyone knew how much information they contained. Zhao Linger and Anu only said "hmm" excitedly.

Lin Yueru hugged Lin Shen and said excitedly, "You can do it. I knew you could do it, Anos. You really did it."

After saying that, the two of them hugged each other and cried, and Zhao Linger and Anu also wiped their tears beside them.

Anu said with a hint of complaint, "Really, this was supposed to be a good thing, why did it become so sad?"

As soon as Li Xiaoyao and Jiang Wan'er heard the noise in Lin Shen's room, they ran over.

The two of them looked at Lin Shen and the other three and immediately turned their heads away.

Lin Shen and Lin Yueru also hurriedly let go, and the four of them wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with their sleeves.

Li Xiaoyao said, "Anos, are you...feeling better?"

Lin Shen coughed twice, then said, "It's okay now."

Jiang Wan'er said, "My benefactor, Cao Gu checked with you earlier and said that your spiritual energy was quite depleted during your trip to the Demon Locking Tower. It would be best if you stayed here for a few days to recuperate before making other plans."

Lin Shen was a little confused when he heard the word Caogu, and immediately asked, "Wait a minute, Caogu...what's going on? There shouldn't be any female disciples in Shushan right now."

Li Xiaoyao explained, "This is what happened. Last time, you beat up Taiwu and the others and rescued Ling'er.

Sword Master Dugu returned to Mount Shu and made some adjustments to the sect's rules, including abolishing the rule of not accepting female disciples.

In this way, Cao Gu entered Shushan and became a member of the Shushan sect."

Lin Shen said, "I see."

After a while, Cao Gu came in. She found that Lin Shen had woken up.

Lin Shen was about to salute Cao Gu when Cao Gu immediately stopped him and said, "Master Anos, you haven't fully recovered yet. Please rest more."

Lin Shen said, "Thank you, Taoist Caogu, for saving me."

Cao Gu shook his head and said, "Sir, actually...I should be the one thanking you more.

I had always wanted to become a disciple of Shushan and tried to become one three times, but failed every time. You changed everything."

Anu said, "Master Caogu, you don't know. Brother Anos once said, 'Women hold up half the sky.' We girls are also very capable."

Lin Shen felt speechless when he looked at Anu, and thought to himself: I kind of regret saying this.

When Cao Gu heard this, he laughed and said, "You have met a very interesting person."

So Cao Gu took Lin Shen's pulse, and Lin Yueru asked, "How is Anos?"

Cao Gu said, "It's nothing, it's just that his spiritual energy has been depleted too much and he hasn't fully recovered yet. Give him some recuperation medicine and he just needs to rest for two days."

After that, Cao Gu and Zhao Linger took the prescription and went out. After a while, Zhao Linger came back with a bowl of medicine soup and said, "Brother Anos, take the medicine."

Lin Shen took the bowl of medicine and almost spit it out after taking a sip. He just held it in his mouth. Because Zhao Linger and the other four were around, he couldn't get angry, so he had to force himself to swallow it.

Zhao Linger asked, "Brother Anos, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Shen stuck out his tongue and fanned himself with his hands. The five people present could tell at a glance that he had been scalded by drinking too quickly. Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, and Anu almost burst out laughing.

Li Xiaoyao and Jiang Wan'er felt that it would be boring to stay in the room, so they went out.

Zhao Linger took the medicine bowl and said, "Brother Anos, don't worry. Linger will blow on it for you."

After saying that, Zhao Linger took a spoon, stirred the medicine soup and blew air into it to cool it down, then scooped a spoonful of medicine soup and placed it next to Lin Shen's mouth.

Lin Shen blushed without saying anything. Zhao Linger asked, "Brother Anos, what's wrong with you? Why don't you take the medicine?"

After taking a look, Anu said in a joking tone, "Oh, brother Anos is still shy."

Lin Shen said, "Actually...actually I'm just not used to being served."

Lin Yueru said, "What are you talking about? You've done so much for us, but there's nothing we can do for you. Can't we even do something as simple as taking care of you taking your medicine?"

Lin Shen was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Zhao Linger said, "Drink the medicine, Brother Anos. Otherwise, it will get cold."

Lin Shen smiled bitterly and drank the medicine. Then Zhao Linger scooped the medicine soup for Lin Shen one spoonful at a time, and Lin Shen drank it one spoonful at a time.

After a while, the whole bowl of medicine was finished. Zhao Linger said, "Brother Anos, I'll return the medicine bowl to them and see if there's anything to eat in the kitchen.

Even though you don't feel hungry, eating something will help you get better faster."

Lin Shen nodded, and Zhao Linger and Anu left the room. After a while, they returned with a dinner tray.

On the plate was a bowl of porridge, four empty bowls, four pairs of chopsticks, a plate of tofu and a dish of vegetables.

Zhao Linger brought the food over, and Anu said, "Brother Anos, Sister Linger and I went to the kitchen to check.

The people here eat very light food, and they said you haven't recovered yet, so you can't eat meat. So you can only eat these vegetables and tofu."

Lin Shen said, "Why should we be so particular when we are staying in someone else's territory?"

After saying that, Lin Shen wanted to get up and eat, but was held down by Lin Yueru and Anu.

Anu said, "Today, just lie down on the bed and let the three of us take care of you."

Lin Shen was speechless after hearing this and said, "Why do you say that? I feel like a useless person who has lost all his martial arts skills.

I don’t even have the strength to hold the dishes and chopsticks.”

After hearing this, Lin Yueru and the other two felt that they had gone too far and said, "Okay then."

So Zhao Linger scooped a bowl of porridge for Lin Shen and gave him a pair of chopsticks, and had to scoop a bowl of porridge for the other three people as well. The four of them gathered around the table and started eating.
