Chapter 466: Restarting the Modern Times 19

After Chao Yao left the Special Affairs Bureau, he felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body, and he quickly returned home with unsteady steps.

As soon as she got home, several nannies rushed over to her when they saw how weak she looked.

"Miss Chao, what's wrong with you?"

A nanny, with a worried look on her face and concern in her eyes, hurriedly reached out to support Chao Yao's arm.

Chao Yao smiled weakly, her voice as faint as a candle in the wind: "Nothing, just a little tired."

Her face was as pale as paper, her lips were bloodless, and there were tiny beads of sweat on her forehead.

The nannies carefully supported Chao Yao and slowly walked towards her room.

With every step he took, Chao Yao could feel his legs as heavy as if they were filled with lead, as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

Her body was trembling slightly, and she only managed to avoid falling down thanks to the support of the nannies.

The lights in the corridor were dim and soft, swaying in Chao Yao's somewhat blurry vision. She could only frown and try to concentrate on the road under her feet, with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

After finally reaching the door, Chao Yao took a deep breath and raised his hand. That hand seemed to use all his strength before he slowly pushed the door open.

A familiar scent filled the room, a smell that made her feel at ease.

Chao Yao turned to look at the nannies and said weakly, "Okay, that's it. You can go first."

Although her voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

"Yes, Miss Chao, please take care of yourself."

The leading nanny said respectfully, she bent slightly, her eyes full of worry and respect.

The other nannies also nodded, with concern in their eyes.

Afterwards, the nannies turned around and left quietly, looking back at Chao Yao from time to time, until they could no longer see her, and then they walked away with peace of mind.

She did not walk directly to the bed, but slowly moved to the chair by the window and sat down, looking at the quiet night sky outside the window, her thoughts drifting away.

Just then, there were soft footsteps outside the door, followed by a familiar knock on the door.

Chao Yao knew it was Dongfang Fufeng without having to guess.

"Enter."

She responded weakly, the door was pushed open, and Dongfang Fufeng walked in.

Seeing Chaoyao so weak, Dongfang Fufeng's eyes were full of worry: "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?"

Chao Yao smiled bitterly and expressed his confusion: "Fufeng, I just realized today that opening a channel alone made me so exhausted. I am an immortal. Although doing these things in the past also consumed spiritual energy, I have never been as embarrassed as today."

Dongfang Fufeng walked to Chaoyao, sat down gently, thought for a while and then said: "Yaoyao, have you ever thought that maybe our immortal power has been depleted in the previous battle with the evil creature, and the evil creature in this battle may be a little special. Its influence on the surroundings may still be lurking in our bodies, affecting the recovery and use of our immortal power."

Chao Yao frowned slightly, and felt that Dongfang Fufeng's words made some sense: "Now that you put it, it seems that this is indeed possible. But I still feel that as an immortal, I shouldn't be so fragile."

Dongfang Fufeng patted Chao Yao on the shoulder and said, "Although we are immortals, we are not omnipotent. This incident should be regarded as a reminder for us. We should be more cautious when fighting and using immortal power in the future, and pay attention to the status of our immortal power at all times."

Chao Yao nodded slightly, she knew that Dongfang Fufeng was right.

But the doubts about her own abilities still lingered in her heart. She looked out the window and secretly made up her mind to take good care of herself, restore her immortal power, and explore more deeply the reasons why she was so weak today.

Dongfang Fufeng looked at Chao Yao's thoughtful face, knowing that she was still struggling with her weak condition today.

He sighed softly, stood up slowly, and said, "Yaoyao, you take a rest first. I will prepare some spiritual items for you to help restore your immortal power."

Chao Yao nodded slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Dongfang Fufeng turned around and walked out of the room quickly. After a while, he returned with an exquisite tray. On the tray was a jade bottle emitting a faint blue light. It was called the "Falling Blue Spirit Liquid Bottle". The faint blue spiritual liquid in the bottle was taken from the depths of a spiritual spring in an extremely cold place. After being nourished by the spiritual energy of ice and snow for thousands of years, it was extremely effective in replenishing the depleted immortal power.

There is also a small spiritual fruit next to it, named "Ningxiang Spiritual Fruit". This fruit grows on the top of a fairy mountain surrounded by spiritual mist, absorbing the essence of the sun, moon and stars. It can not only replenish the fairy power, but also stabilize the fluctuation of the fairy power, allowing it to run more smoothly in the body.

Dongfang Fufeng walked to Chao Yao's side, carefully picked up the bottle of dark blue spiritual liquid, gently pulled out the cork, and in an instant, a rich spiritual energy wafted out.

"Yaoyao, this is the dark blue spiritual liquid that we accidentally obtained in the Spirit Valley before. It is very helpful for restoring immortal power. You should drink it quickly." Dongfang Fufeng's voice was gentle and full of concern. He handed the jade bottle to Chaoyao's mouth.

Chao Yao gently opened his lips and slowly swallowed the spiritual liquid.

As the spiritual liquid entered her throat, a cool feeling spread from her throat to her whole body. She could feel that her almost exhausted immortal power seemed to be slightly moisturized.

Dongfang Fufeng stared at Chao Yao intently, his eyes full of anticipation. When he saw that Chao Yao's complexion had improved slightly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Dongfang Fufeng picked up the Ningxiang Lingguo and gently peeled off the skin, revealing the crystal clear flesh inside that looked like beautiful jade.

"Yaoyao, this Ningxiang Lingguo can also replenish some immortal power. Eat some more."

After saying that, Dongfang Fufeng brought the fruit flesh to Chao Yao's mouth.

Chao Yao took a small bite, and the flesh instantly melted in her mouth. The sweet taste spread, and at the same time a gentle spiritual power slowly merged into her body.

After seeing Chao Yao finish eating the spiritual fruit, Dongfang Fufeng helped her lie down on the bed, carefully pulled the quilt for her, and said softly: "You should have a good sleep first, I will stay here to watch over you."

He sat on a chair beside the bed, his eyes fixed on Chao Yao, as if he was guarding the most precious treasure in the world.

Chao Yao's eyelids gradually became heavy, and he slowly fell asleep under Dongfang Fufeng's protection.

In her sleep, her brows were furrowed from time to time, as if she was still worried about the immortal power.

Seeing this, Dongfang Fufeng gently stretched out his hand and placed it on Chao Yao's forehead, slowly injecting a gentle immortal power into her, trying to eliminate her uneasiness.

After a long time, Chao Yao's breathing became steady and even, and Dongfang Fufeng finally felt relieved.

He stood up gently and set up a small spirit gathering array called "Spirit Gathering and Returning Energy Array" in the room. This array was improved by him based on the ancient array method. It can attract the surrounding spiritual energy and transform it into the purest form, so that more spiritual energy can gather around Chao Yao and speed up the recovery of her immortal power.

After doing all this, Dongfang Fufeng sat back on the bed, quietly waiting for Chao Yao to wake up, his eyes full of determination. He secretly made up his mind to help Chao Yao find out the real reason why she was so weak today.
