Hearing Ah Chun call his real name, stunned Ning Shen. He had thought before that Ah Chun had known his real identity but thought he was wrong due to the fact that he did try to take her life once. So he did not think she would act so friendly to him. But now with her saying his name and smiling so sweetly at him. He realized she did not hate him at all. Ning Shen had noticed that the way Ah Chun had been interacting with him was as if she had known him all her life and more. She seemed to have complete trust in him. She held his hand and pulled him along as if it was the most natural thing to do. He knew this change in Ah Chun's demeanor was due to her samsara. It was just that he had no idea what happened during her samsara that made her the way she is. One thing he was sure of, was, it was enough to change a naive little girl who knew nothing about the world and change her into a little girl who was wise beyond her years and would only show her cold eyes and an emotionless face to others. But when she looked at him there was no cold emotionless expression, just the normal happy Ah Chun and from time to time he had noticed her soft gaze and warm smile that she would only show to him. That smile alone was like the sun to Ning Shen but at the same time at this moment and time, it was also a great weight on his heart.
Using his finger he slid a loose strand of her hair back behind her ear. He looked down at the little girl in his arms who had furrowed brows, pale face, laying there in great pain. He had done everything he could to try to stop the rampaging force within her. But he was only able to slow its progress. A worried look appeared on Ning Shen's face as he whispered: "You have to get better soon and grow up quickly with me. That way in the future when we are both adults I can marry you."
Qin Sha floated down from the sky seeing Ning Shen he hurriedly walked over to him and asked: "Young Master should I go to the Wang Clan now?"
"No, I need you to use your secret arts and help Chunchun. She's gravely injured, that Wang Chu used some sort of secret art in his attack and now she has a rampaging force inside her destroying her organs. I am only able to slow its progress." Ning Shen's face was filled with worry. Ah Chun right now was in great danger of losing her life.
"Then we should move quickly Young Master." Qin Sha could tell the situation was grave.
Ning Shen looked down at Ah Chun's little face that was now very pale with furrowed eyebrows that expressed her pain. His heart sank he wished he had noticed sooner. If they did not seal off her room so that no noise could be heard, he would have been there right away! But at least he was able to get here before the worst could happen. Although Ah Chun had received life-threatening damage she could still be saved. Not wasting any more time Ning Shen quickly carried Ah Chun back into the inn and headed to his room.
He very gently laid Ah Chun on to his bed before stepping back and letting Qin Sha do what he needed to do. Qin Sha first fed Ah Chun a pill to help with the healing process after which he injected his spirit power into her body slowly but surely wrapping it around the rampaging force within Ah Chun. Sweat dripped from Qin Sha's head as the task of doing this was very delicate, one wrong move could cause irreversible damage to Ah Chun's organs.
Finally, after five long hours, he was able to capture and remove the force inside Ah Chun. He fed her another pill to help with the healing process before turning back to Ning Shen saying: "Young Master As of right now the rampaging force is out of her. Now we just have to wait for her to wake up. The pill I gave her will help heal her internal organs. Luckily we made it in time, if she had to wait too much longer it would have cost her, her life. She should wake up by morning. I will wait to the side in case anything happens."
"Mhm… Thank you, Qin Sha, you have worked hard." Ning Shen was not even looking at Qin Sha when he spoke his eyes had never left the sleeping girl on the bed. During the time Qin Sha was treating Ah Chun she had screamed out in pain quite a few times. Every time she did he felt pain in his heart. He thought of the reason why she ended up in this state and he found it laughable. All because she slapped the Young master of the Wang Clan and taught him a lesson they wanted her life. Although Ah Chun looked six or seven years old she was in fact now nine years old. To think that they actually used such force on a nine-year-old kid! The more he thought the more Ning Shen's anger started to rise!
