Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Rescue

The air was getting warmer, and Gu Qingli’s consciousness gradually sharpened. She heard sobbing.

Who was crying? she wondered. Could it be Xiao Yunjing?

"Young Master, Miss’s pulse is getting stronger!" Wuyou couldn’t contain her joy.

Xiao Yunjing remained focused, continuously transferring his internal energy to Gu Qingli. He was determined to wake her.

Two hours later, Gu Qingli slowly opened her eyes.

"Yunjing," she called out weakly.

"Li’er."

"Miss..."

A few exclamations of joy rang out.

Xiao Yunjing gently turned her to face him.

It’s wonderful. I managed to wake her up, he thought, immensely relieved.

Looking at Gu Qingli, now with her eyes open, tears streamed down Xiao Yunjing’s face as he gently kissed her forehead.

"Li’er," he murmured her name softly.

Wuqing and his companions couldn’t help but shed tears as well.

Previously, they had watched the Young Master transferring his internal energy to her, looking like a puppet, mindlessly focused on that single task.

They had all been thinking, what would they do if Miss didn’t wake up?

They were convinced they would all die with her.

Especially the Young Master. They had known for a long time that most of what he did was for Miss.

If Miss were gone, the Young Master’s pillar of support would vanish, and his life would lose all meaning.

"Don’t cry!" Gu Qingli tried to lift her hand to wipe Yunjing’s tears.

But before she could even raise it, he caught her hand.

Xiao Yunjing hastily wiped away his tears and asked, "Li’er, are you in pain anywhere?"

Gu Qingli shook her head. "No, I’m just cold, hungry, and tired. I want to go into the Space."

"Alright," Xiao Yunjing gently agreed.

Gu Qingli slowly turned her head. Seeing the group, all of them grievously injured, she said, "Wuqing, all of you, come over."

Wuqing nodded and had Yun No. 20 and the others drag the unconscious people over.

"Is this all of them?" Gu Qingli furrowed her brow. Ten people came with Xiao Yunjing, but there are only five here.

"Miss, we..." Wushuang couldn’t continue.

Gu Qingli surveyed the surrounding terrain and instantly understood. Given how severe their injuries are, it’s already remarkable they found five.

With a thought, a cup of Spiritual spring water materialized in her hand.

Xiao Yunjing quickly took it and gave it to Wuyou and the others.

Gu Qingli then produced two more cups, allowing Wuqing and his group to recover some of their strength first.

Having regained some energy, Wuqing said, "Miss, now that we’ve recovered a bit, let’s go find the others. If we delay any longer, it might be too late for them even if we do find them."

"Alright. Wuyou, take these five into the Space to treat their injuries first," Gu Qingli instructed, pointing to the five barely breathing members of the Secret Sect on the ground.

Wuyou nodded.

Gu Qingli had them gather close, then brought all six of them into the Space. Simultaneously, she released Da Bai to help with the search.

Once everything was arranged, she leaned weakly against Yunjing.

"Hmm?"

Only then did Gu Qingli realize something was amiss with Yunjing. His teeth were clenched, his face was pale, and his back was stooped.

"Yunjing!"

Wuqing and the others are all severely injured, she thought. There’s no way Yunjing alone could be unscathed.

Panic seized Gu Qingli. With a thought, she brought Yunjing into the Space.

"Wuyou, quickly!" Gu Qingli shouted urgently as soon as they entered the Space.

"Miss?"

Hearing the shout, Wuyou quickly hopped over on one foot.

"Quick, check on Yunjing!" she urged anxiously, scrambling off him.

The moment Gu Qingli moved away, Xiao Yunjing collapsed with a THUD.

"Yunjing!" Gu Qingli cried out in shock.

"Miss, please don’t panic. With me here, the Young Master will be fine," Wuyou said, quickly helping Gu Qingli up as she tried to crawl towards Xiao Yunjing again.

"Wuyou, quickly, check on Yunjing! What’s wrong with him?" Gu Qingli cried, anxiously clutching Wuyou’s sleeve.

"Alright, Miss, don’t worry. I’ll check him right now, right now! You must take care of yourself; you’re not alone," Wuyou said, patting her gently on the back a few times before hurrying to examine Xiao Yunjing.

Gu Qingli nodded obediently, though she felt utterly panicked and disoriented. She touched her stomach and checked her own pulse. Indeed, the pregnancy is unstable.

She struggled to her feet and slowly made her way to the Pharmacy. I can’t collapse, she thought. That would be disastrous.

First, she swallowed a pill, then drank a cup of Spiritual spring water. Only after composing herself somewhat did she pick up her medicine box and walk out, her movements sluggish.

Wuyou was currently bandaging Yunjing’s wounds.

Seeing Gu Qingli emerge, Wuyou hopped over on one foot to support her, explaining, "Miss, please rest assured, the Young Master is not in serious danger. He was initially overcome by distress and had also sustained some injuries. When he saw you were alright, the sudden relief caused him to faint.

"Also, he was searching for you in the snow despite his injuries. He was under immense mental strain at the time. Now that the tension has eased, his body naturally couldn’t hold up any longer, so he fainted."

"That’s good, that’s good." Gu Qingli took a calming breath. "You go check on the others. I’ll take care of him here."

"Alright then. Miss, if you need me, just call," Wuyou nodded. She still hadn’t finished treating the five members of the Secret Sect.

She had just set up IV drips for them.

This was something Wuyou had learned from Gu Qingli.

However, Wuyou found it rather strange, she mused. The Western medicines in Miss’s Pharmacy seem inexhaustible. Even if a box is clearly used up, the next time I go to get more, the quantity is the same as before.

I wonder if Miss is aware of this? There’s no time to ask now; I’ll ask her when there’s an opportunity.

"Okay, then hurry along," Gu Qingli said. She then removed Yunjing’s outer clothes, making a makeshift bed for him to lie on. I don’t have the strength to carry him this time, she thought.

Her limbs had only just regained some feeling and were still somewhat stiff, not to mention she was pregnant.

By the time she had set up Yunjing’s IV drip, bandaged his wounds, and cleaned him up, she was nearly collapsing from exhaustion.

She drank another cup of Spiritual spring water. After recovering a little, she went to the kitchen to prepare a large pot of soup. Everyone will need to replenish their nutrients later, she thought.

"Miss, you should rest now." Wuyou, having just finished tending to the five men, limped in and took over Gu Qingli’s task.

"I’m fine. You rest first," Gu Qingli said, rubbing her lower back and waving her hand dismissively.

She felt much better now. The Space is never short of various medicines, and I already took something to restore my energy.

"Miss, perhaps we should go out and see how things are?" Wuyou suggested after a moment’s thought. "We’ve been in here for quite some time, and Wuqing and the others are still outside."

"Oh, you’re right! I completely forgot about that," Gu Qingli said, lightly tapping her forehead.

She found a thick cloak to wear and exited the Space with Wuyou.

Outside, with Da Bai’s help, the other five men had been found. However, two of them showed no signs of life, their bodies already stiff.

The remaining three were only barely breathing.

Gu Qingli immediately brought all of them into the Space.

"Yun No. 20, put these two into the pool."

Yun No. 20 hesitated for a moment. Does the Mistress intend to save them? he wondered. These men show no signs of life. Can they still be saved?

Never mind, I’ll just do as she says, he decided. The Mistress gave the order, so we’ll treat a dead horse as if it were alive—it’s worth a try.

He quickly stripped the two men of their clothes, placed them in the pool, and then he and Yun No. 18 each kept watch over one of them.
