Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Chapter 373: Chapter 372: Shi Yuezhu Gently Lifts Her Sleeve

The rumor spread quickly, especially this unexpected piece of news.

No one expected it to end like this.

Among the Shen Family’s two prodigies, it was Shen Han who ultimately won.

The news spread in Great Wei.

Among the common folk of Great Wei, hearing of Shen Han’s victory was actually something they were pleased about.

In the previous Ten Nations Grand Competition, Shen Han single-handedly regained face for Great Wei.

This truly established an excellent image of Shen Han in the hearts of Great Wei’s citizens.

Now, hearing that Shen Han has surpassed Shen Ye and will inherit the title of Marquis in the future, naturally, they are happy for Shen Han.

Apart from the common folk of Great Wei, in the many academies of the Capital City.

In fact, many scholars also hoped for Shen Han to win.

Although before the competition, everyone thought it was unlikely for Shen Han to win, their hearts still leaned towards him.

Upon hearing this news now, it truly stirred something inside them.

Including the students of Mountain Sea Academy, not many actually supported Shen Ye.

After all, during his time at Mountain Sea Academy, he always wore an arrogant expression, looking down on everyone.

With that attitude, who would like him?

Moreover, Shen Han’s ability to later surpass truly inspired many people.

It turns out those people aren’t unbeatable.

Despite Shen Han still studying at Tianyi Academy, he still defeated Shen Ye.

Other people, what excuse do they have to be complacent or not improve?

Shen Han and Dean Tianyi originally intended to return to the Capital City immediately.

But seeing Shen Han in an extremely fatigued state, Dean Tianyi suggested resting in Yun’an City for a while before leaving.

After booking a room, Dean Tianyi left without disturbing him, allowing Shen Han to have a good rest first.

In truth, Dean Tianyi had many questions he hadn’t asked.

Especially about how Shen Han suddenly elevated his strength to the Fourth Grade.

This was definitely not a strength gained from normal cultivation.

No one at this age could step into the Fourth Grade.

Dean Tianyi could guess that Shen Han used some method to quickly increase his strength.

This kind of cultivation technique definitely comes with a backlash effect, it’s just a matter of how severe it is.

Dean Tianyi was somewhat worried, being able to leap from the Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm to the Fourth Grade.

This backlash would be hard to endure.

But no matter what, the best thing was to let Shen Han rest first before discussing anything else.

After Dean Tianyi left, Shen Han took out the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact to communicate with Shi Yuezhu.

Shen Han knew that at this moment Shi Yuezhu must be troubled.

She must have realized he used the “Divine Abyss Formulas,” surely worried about the terrifying backlash he suffered.

But actually, the “Divine Abyss Formulas” he practiced was an improved version.

The backlash was not as intense as initially, and to Shen Han, the backlash from the “Divine Abyss Formulas” was still bearable.

Yun’an City was not large, Shi Yuezhu arrived at Shen Han’s room quickly.

Upon seeing Shen Han, she couldn’t help but display a trace of reproach on her face.

Often, people like to disguise their worries as reproach.

“I’m fine, just need some rest…”

Before Shi Yuezhu could speak, Shen Han quickly explained.

“The Unceasing Skill can fully resist this backlash, no need to worry about me…

At most, it’ll make me sleepy…”

Shen Han could guess what Shi Yuezhu was worried about.

To be honest, if Shi Yuezhu had rashly used the “Divine Abyss Formulas,” he would also be worried and anxious — it was all normal.

“Your injury…”

Shen Han shifted the topic to avoid being pressed about the backlash he endured.

“I’m okay, the Cloud Rong Grass is quite effective, in a month at most, I should fully recover.”

Shi Yuezhu naturally realized that Shen Han asked this to change the subject.

But her nature was not to embarrass people.

Since Shen Han asked, she answered accordingly.

Moreover, the Cloud Rong Grass she took was something Shen Han had risked his life to obtain from the Land of the Far South.

“Let me see…”

Shen Han tentatively suggested, making a slightly unreasonable request.

“See? Check what…”

This sentence left Shi Yuezhu momentarily confused.

After a moment, she realized.

Shen Han, having learned some medical arts from Little Pool Immortal.

Indeed, he was qualified to examine her.

After a moment’s hesitation, Shi Yuezhu lifted her sleeve, revealing her fair jade-like arm.

To be honest, that arm looked rather nice…

Seeing this, Shen Han did not hesitate.

He reached out, gently feeling her pulse.

Carefully, he even squeezed Shi Yuezhu’s arm.

A little bit of flesh, soft and tender, the feeling was really…

Feeling his mind drifting, Shen Han knew something was off, he quickly shook his head.

Seeing this, the corners of Shi Yuezhu’s mouth couldn’t help but hint at a smile.

This demeanor, to her, seemed a bit adorable.

Settling his thoughts, Shen Han began to check Shi Yuezhu’s health.

Overall, her recovery was quite good.

Previously she was indeed injured, but the Cloud Rong Grass truly played its part, and the recovery effect was indeed good.

Having reached these conclusions, Shen Han felt much more at ease.

As his heart relaxed a little, the backlash of the “Unceasing Skill” surged up.

A strong drowsiness made Shen Han start to feel slightly disoriented.

“A bit sleepy… it’s the Unceasing Skill…”

Before Shen Han could finish his sentence, his eyelids couldn’t resist closing.

Subsequently, his entire body leaned forward, as if he was about to fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Shi Yuezhu hurried to support him, letting Shen Han lean on her.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, she should have let Shen Han rest on it, but Shi Yuezhu didn’t know why.

She wanted to let Shen Han lean a while longer.

Shen Han while asleep, looked somewhat more naive compared to his usual self.

During the competition, he seemed more elegant.

At this moment, he looked a bit cuter.

Although describing a man as cute isn’t quite appropriate, this indeed was Shi Yuezhu’s true feeling.

Just then, the door suddenly swung open.

The inn had a lot of comings and goings, and being a strong Immortal Realm, Shi Yuezhu naturally sensed someone nearby.

But she didn’t expect anyone to break in.

“First, give him these pills, I just sent a message to the academy physician…”

Dean Tianyi pushed open the door, speaking as he walked in.

Upon seeing the scene before him, he was momentarily stunned.

Shi Yuezhu also felt a bit flustered, wanting to quickly lay Shen Han on the bed, but couldn’t bear to abruptly let go.

“Dean Tianyi, this junior saw Shen Han was injured before.

He previously procured Cloud Rong Grass to aid me, today, I am here to return a favor…”

Shi Yuezhu tried to make an excuse, though she didn’t know whether Dean Tianyi believed her or not.

“No problem, no problem, this old man is not foolish, I won’t make wild guesses.

This child easily becomes sleepy after being injured, and… he indeed picks an interesting time to do so.”
