Chapter 354: Chapter 250: Treating Injuries

Entering the military tent, everything around still resembled the layout from when Xu Yuan had last visited not long ago.

Sand tables, armor beds, and various weapons gave off an aura of solemnity and dignity.

Li Qingyan was not there.

The vastness of the empty tent was so quiet that it was somewhat unsettling.

"Tap....."

"Tap..."

The sound of boots treading lightly on the ground, Xu Yuan walked further in while his gaze shifted from the vacant top seat to some scattered rags on the floor.

Staring at the "rags" on the ground that were stained with a viscous black liquid and faintly gleaming with a metallic luster, Xu Yuan bent down to pick up a particularly large piece, feeling the Formation Patterns on it, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

This was... fragments of armor.

Li Qingyan’s armor?

The armor of a military leader had long surpassed the concept of standard issue, as they were custom-made to perfectly match the leader’s subordinates’ Military Formation Technique.

Such custom armor, let alone Li Qingyan’s, even Yuan Hao’s armors would have a base cost of at least a hundred thousand taels of silver upward, and they would sell for several times more.

Under normal circumstances,

even if the leader died, such armor would only be partially damaged.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan looked toward the scattered armor fragments inside the tent and his mouth twitched slightly.

Hiss... the armor has been smashed into rags, so the Wrapped Chest Princess should be alright, right?

Casually tossing the shoulder protection "clang" back onto the ground, Xu Yuan proceeded toward the screen at a leisurely pace.

He had witnessed the war in the East City, but he estimated that the level of ferocity in the final battle in the South City was probably even more severe.....

Sighing softly, Xu Yuan gently shook his head and didn’t think further.

Behind the screen, he was met with a short corridor, and at the end of it was a rather simple room, no different from the tents of ordinary soldiers

In the army, to win affection, one has to maintain almost the same standards as the different soldiers, at least on the surface.

Approaching the door, Xu Yuan was about to lift his hand to knock, but his hand paused mid-air and finally, he chose to push the door and enter.

Normally, what follows should be the expected healing and medicine application scenes.

Knocking on the door, Xu Yuan figured, could probably be omitted.

The female warlord inside didn’t seem like someone who would care about such details.

As he was thinking,

"....Come in directly. From now on, you can enter my sleeping chambers whenever you wish, you needn’t hesitate outside the door."

"...."

Tch, why do I feel slightly moved by that statement?

Hearing this, Xu Yuan then shook his head.

If this continued, one day he would certainly be overwhelmed by this bad woman.

Gathering his thoughts, Xu Yuan placed his hand on the door.

"Creak——"

The door was unlocked and opened with a gentle push.

And Xu Yuan’s gaze immediately fell on the figure seated on the bed inside the room.

Divested of her armor, she sat there half-naked, wearing only a wrapped chest and underpants, her skin pale and delicate under the dim light.

Xu Yuan smiled and was about to speak, but the next moment he gulped down his words and slightly furrowed his brows.

On the warlord’s smooth, delicate skin, he saw a deep, bone-visible blood mark.

Running from the left hip across to the right rib, the tightly bound wrapped chest had been cut open, revealing a glimpse of the tightly constricted southern hemisphere.

A bit to the side, or an inch higher, and nursing future children would probably have to be someone else’s duty.

After a moment of silence,

Xu Yuan exhaled and sat down beside her on the bed. After a moment of silence, he asked,

"Does it... hurt?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyan glanced at him and smiled,

"Is the Prince Consort expressing concern for me? But I’m already used to it."

Xu Yuan took a frank look over her exposed skin and said with a laugh,

"I don’t see any other scars?"

Li Qingyan’s lips curved slightly, her eyes fixed on his, and her red lips slightly upturned,

"I am also a woman, the scars I received in battle would always be removed with secret medicine."

"That’s rather candid of you."

Laughing at her response, Xu Yuan paused and then said with a light chuckle, "I always thought that people who lead troops to war would have many scars."

"Hmm... if the Prince Consort has other interests, I can choose not to remove this scar."

Battle damage attire?

How playful.

Xu Yuan didn’t respond to the topic but instead asked,

"You seem to be in a good mood. Did the battle go well?"

Li Qingyan shook her head at this,

"That barbarian is still as difficult to deal with as ever, but..."

As she spoke,

she raised a slender jade finger, as if showing off, pointing toward the inner wall of the chamber.

Curious, Xu Yuan glanced back.

On the wall, where one would usually hang a saber, there was now a thick arm about half a zhang in length resting on the rack.

The bone spurs were fearsome, and one could sense the hardness of the thick keratinous layer at just a glance.

"The Barbarian King’s?"

"Naturally."

Li Qingyan seemed to be in good spirits as she murmured, "Having suffered such a severe injury, it was only natural for him to leave something behind."

"......"

Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, before asking in a low voice,

"With the Barbarian King’s level of cultivation, couldn’t he just grow another arm?"

That Tatar Chao prince from the Great Desert, a Fourth Grade, could regenerate a severed limb just like some superstar with a simple "gulp."

Li Qingyan replied with a smile in her phoenix eyes,

"I used the Military Formation Secret Technique to cut off his Primeval Spirit along with his arm, even if he can restore his arm, this one is no longer of any use."

"......"

Xu Yuan stared at Li Qingyan with an odd expression.

You’re also versed in Corpse Demon Sealing?

After a brief silence, Xu Yuan inquired,

"Then how about your injury...."

As he spoke, he circulated the Blood Essence Meteoring Art and extended his will-spirit.
