In a certain palace of the Alien Clan in the Western Regions, Zhao Changhe was wrapped up like a mummy, lying immobile on a soft bed, even his face was tightly bandaged, leaving only his eyes darting around.

Ying Wu stood watching him with his arms crossed, silent for a long time.

He, a revenger ready to die, was not even slightly scratched, and didn't have the minor internal injuries that even a normal intense battle would cause. Apart from being quite exhausted, it was as if nothing had happened to him.

In contrast, the ally invited to help was hurt all over, almost blown up directly, along with frostbite, truly there wasn't an inch of good flesh left.

Not only that, even during the fight, this person was the main character, while Ying Wu felt like an outsider invited to assist.

At this moment, Ying Wu's heart contained little of the pleasure of revenge, and more of it was actually amusement.

"Do you know if I had any ill intentions just now, you'd be dead, and your recently blossoming Great Han would be falling apart?" After holding it in for a long time, Ying Wu surprisingly said this.

Zhao Changhe's mouth was wrapped, so he just rolled his eyes and said nothing.

Ying Wu sighed: "Alright... originally I didn't want to participate in your mundane power struggles... but from today on, for your sake, I will unify the Western Regions for you. Call on me anytime you need support against Guanglong."

Zhao Changhe mumbled: "Who the hell told me he was just a horse bandit, at most able to harass and cut off trade routes, incapable of besieging cities and establishing territories?"

"Honestly, I didn't lie to you before, but if I want to transform from a horse bandit to a local ruler, the Western Regions are mine in less than a month."

"Fine, then make the change."

Ying Wu said: "I'm not clear on your Great Han's plans... what do you want to do here?"

"If annexed into the territory, can you be an official, like an Inspector or Prefectural Governor?"

"Just say the word, and it can be done."

"... You're so direct now?"

"In addition, the Brotherhood's entire intelligence network across the Divine Continent will be directly merged into your Demon Suppression Department. I don't want it anymore. It's more than just casinos, there's quite a bit, it'll provide some supplements for your department."

"No need to be that polite."

"Because I no longer need it, I originally organized the intelligence network to explore Secret Realms, the rest was just additional. Now I don't need to explore Secret Realms, keeping those things would only be for profit."

"Wait a minute, at least you still need to help me explore the Secret Realms where Ye Jiuyou and Piaomiao are located... and if you have the capacity, find White Tiger, and contact San Niang when the time comes."

"You heal here, I'll look right away." Ying Wu sized him up for a while: "Need me to find you some virgins for Dual Cultivation? Can't guarantee the cultivation level, but certainly high Mystical Gate level. Don't worry, no unethical means involved, plenty willing for money."

Zhao Changhe sighed: "With money, anything goes."

"Do you want it?"

"These are all external injuries, including frostbite, even if you find a Heavenly Immortal I can't move, Dual Cultivation would be pointless... Instead of that, why not donate some to the national treasury, or directly use it to establish prefectures in the Western Regions, maybe several need to be established."

"As long as your thing isn't frozen, I worry San Niang would become a widow."

"Not only will San Niang not become a widow, I will also serve the Vermilion Bird well."

"You bastard..." Ying Wu was torn between laughter and tears, flinging his sleeves as he left: "No wonder Tang Buqi says behind your back that you're detestable. My gratitude this time has nearly been ruined by your foul mouth, even wrapped so tightly you're still disgusting people."

"My love for my nephew got wiped out with that comment too."

Ying Wu had already left, really not wanting to argue with him. Soon his command was heard from outside: "Everyone, guard this place thoroughly, if a single fly disturbs our distinguished guest, you'll have to answer for it!"

"Everyone... all the people? There's no space for that..."

"If there's no space, stand on the roof, surround it tightly, other places' guards are not as significant as a single hair here, go relay the order, stop wasting time."

Zhao Changhe wanted to smile, but unfortunately, his mouth was bandaged and couldn't form a smile.

Even without the bandages, he might not be able to smile, his body frostbitten over a large area, if not for the successful Body Refining, his blood and organs would've been entirely frozen long ago. He didn't know how cold this was, it was the first time Zhao Changhe faced such a battle, and suffered such injuries. He had to thank the Body Refining of the past two years, otherwise he would've been gone.

Luckily, it was a swift battle, and now only the muscles are injured, treating it isn't difficult, though it sounds horrifying. Because the best treatment is to scrape away all the frostbitten flesh, using his Blood Demon Undying Body to regenerate new flesh. But it only sounds scary, it won't even hurt much, as there's barely any sensation.

Zhao Changhe quietly rested for a moment, gaining a bit of strength to brace himself, then gritted his teeth and transmitted his thought: "I need to scrape the flesh, which of you two will help?"

The sword and blade spirits were silent, even Dragon Sparrow, who usually loved to curse Zhao Changhe, didn't make a sound.

Cursing was fine, but to personally slice Zhao Changhe into pieces, it really didn't have the heart to do so.

Zhao Changhe smiled: "Don't dawdle, back in the day, your dad had way less cultivation than now, and still dared to scrape flesh to heal, let alone today."

Dragon Sparrow said: "You should let that smiling fatty do it, he'd be moved to tears seeing you covered in wounds."

"Why should I move him, I'm not into that. Besides, he's not even a fatty." Zhao Changhe grumbled, "Since when did you become so slow? You're a Sword Spirit, when did you start feeling pain for humans, does that mean from now on I shouldn't dare to clash you against other swords, for fear it would hurt you?"
