Systemless Villain

Chapter 39: A Mother's Concern

Long Zhan, Ling Han, and others left the Mount Hua sect, which had been destroyed. There was nothing left here; all the buildings were in ruins, and the flames still flickered.

The Long family had taken advantage of the attack; they didn't lose a single member and gained many resources. They seized Over 10,000 high-level spiritual stones glistened like precious gems, while more than 10 tons of glimmering gold and other precious metals.

However, the most invaluable spoils were the sacred scrolls and original techniques of the Mount Hua sect, exceeding a thousand in number.

As the night deepened, the clock struck 1 AM when Long Zhan and his comrades reached the domain of the Long family. They went straight to the medical room, where Long Tian lay unconscious on a bed, surrounded by a few people. His demonic aura felt stronger than before.

As Long Zhan approached, he squinted his eyes when he saw a familiar figure gently caressing Long Tian's cheek. It was Xia Yunfei, his wife.

"You finally arrived, husband. Why didn't you inform me that Tian'er was unconscious?" Xia Yunfei reaproached him, scolded him.

"Don't blame me. I just didn't want to worry you. Besides, don't you have work to do?" Long Zhan defended himself.

"I canceled everything for my son! At least tell me about Tian'er's condition!" Xia Yunfei retorted.

Long Zhan let out a sigh; Xia Yunfei was graceful, gentle, and calm, but she turned into a different person when she was with their son, Long Tian.

He knew Xia Yunfei was overly protective of Long Tian, which hindered his development. Spoiled by her care, Long Tian struggled to grow independently.

As a father, of course, he wants his son to be independent and versatile. Unlike Xia Yunfei, she had always been worried about Long Tian. For example, she sent a peak golden core realm cultivator, Ling Han, as his bodyguard.

When he first heard it, he couldn't believe it. The peak golden core realm was the same as his cultivation base.

"Well, everything is under control now. I have secured what Tian'er needs," he reassured her, his words filled with a sense of accomplishment and relief.

"Good, let's not waste any more time. Long Ju, perform your duty!" Xia Yunfei impatiently urged, her eyes resolute and determined.

"Yes, ma'am," Long Ju acknowledged with a nod before stepping forward. "Patriarch, did you manage to obtain those pure reiki?" he inquired.

Long Zhan took out ten spatial pouches and placed them on the floor. "They are quite heavy and might require a larger space," he said.

"I see. Then, we need to take Young Master Long to the training room," Long Ju replied.

Long Zhan agreed, and they went to the training room.

************

The Long family's residence spanned an extensive area of approximately 3000 hectares, three times larger than the Mount Hua sect. It resembled a city itself, boasting numerous majestic buildings and housing around 400 people.

At present, Long Tian lay on a bed within a spacious, empty room, typically used for training and simulated combat. Only five individuals entered this room – Long Zhan, Xia Yunfei, Ling Han, Long Ju, and, of course, Long Tian.

Long Ju opened the ten spatial bags, and hundreds of people emerged simultaneously, leaving him astonished by the sight. Despite having an idea of what to expect, he never anticipated so many of them.

All the people were unconscious and had been arranged by Long Zhan.

"Can you begin now?" Xia Yunfei impatiently inquired.

"I will start now, ma'am," Long Jun responded.

He then stood beside Long Tian's bed, making slight cuts on his left and right palms, allowing droplets of blood to fall.

Next, Long Ju placed his left hand on Long Tian's forehead and directed his right hand toward the hundreds of people. Reiki visibly emanated from their bodies, flowing into Long Ju's palms. He used the demon technique to transfer their Reiki to Long Tian.

This technique was, in fact, a suicidal method with a high risk. If the transfer process was interrupted, the Reiki from those hundreds of people would flood into Long Ju's body, causing an explosive difference in the qualities of Reiki and resulting in his demise.

As the immense Reiki entered his body, Long Ju felt an overwhelming surge, as if his blood cells wanted to burst. Nevertheless, he persisted with the transfer, enduring increasing agony.

He gritted his teeth, holding back the pain, but suddenly, Shen Yulan emerged from the jade carried by Ling Han and entered Long Ju's body.

Long Ju's pupils vanished, and he withdrew his hand, stepping away from Long Tian.

"What's happening?" Xia Yunfei exclaimed in surprise.

Long Zhan furrowed his brow, sensing that this wasn't Long Ju.

After a few seconds, Shen Yulan exited Long Ju's body and revealed herself to Xia Yunfei and Long Zhan.

"What? Who are you?" Xia Yunfei asked with a cold demeanor.

"Calm down; I am not your enemy. On the contrary, I saved this person's life. The technique he used is ancient and irrelevant. If he continued, he would have died in vain," Shen Yulan replied.

"Is that so? Give me a reason to trust you," Xia Yunfei said icily.

"Let Ling Han explain," Shen Yulan suggested.

Xia Yunfei and Long Zhan turned their gaze towards Ling Han.

Seeing their stares, Ling Han quickly explained, "Well, she is one of Young Master Long's friends, whom he encountered in a cave. Don't worry; she is very powerful, and I believe she can heal Young Master."

Xia Yunfei remained skeptical. "Are you sure, Ling Han?" she inquired.

"I'm certain, ma'am. Please don't ask any further; it's part of Young Master's secret, and I can't disclose more. But rest assured, ma'am, I will ensure Young Master's safety," Ling Han assured.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yunfei's doubts eased. She then turned to Shen Yulan, "Alright, I will entrust my son to you. Make sure you heal him, okay?" she said.

"Don't worry; I've got it covered. Also, I need some privacy. At least the three of you can leave, and let Ling Han stay here as a precaution," Shen Yulan requested.

"Okay," Xia Yunfei nodded.

With that, she and Long Zhan exited, carrying the unconscious Long Ju with them. contemporary romance

The door closed, leaving only Ling Han and Shen Yulan with Long Tian.

"Now, what are you going to do?" Ling Han suddenly asked.

"Firstly, I need a drop of blood from each of them."
