I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 196 The Invisible Barrier

Without saying a word, Fei Xi quickly followed Su Xuan to their room.

Pushing open the door, Fei Xi immediately saw Grandpa Luo tending to Chunyu You's injuries on the spacious bed.

Chunyu You's face was covered in cold sweat, his eyes were tightly closed, and his lips were pale. His left hand and left foot were both empty, as if they had been cut in half by a knife. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged to the side, thus saving his body and head.

Fei Xi glanced at it briefly and decided not to disturb Grandpa Luo's rescue for the time being. She turned around and walked to the desk, wrote down a prescription with a wave of her hand, and handed it to Su Xuan.

"Have his hands and feet been recovered? Quickly arrange for people to prepare strong liquor, ice, sewing needles, and sheep intestines. I'll write a prescription first, and you go find Bai Hanwang to prepare them. I've already written down the method for decocting the medicine on paper. Go now!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, she examined the severed limb, summoned someone to bring clean water and a wooden bucket, and properly treated the limb. She then mixed ice with water to make suitable ice water before carefully placing the wrapped limb into the bucket.

Once the preparations were complete, Luo Dalun finished his practice and put Chunyu You down.

Fei Xi nodded to Grandpa Luo, indicating that she would handle the rest.

After expelling everyone from the room, Fei Xi began treating Chunyu You.

After an unknown amount of time, when Fei Xi put away the silver needles, she looked up and her vision went black; she almost fainted.

She staggered and leaned on the bedpost for support. After resting for a while, she slowly walked to the door, pushed it open, and went outside.

"Princess, it's my junior brother..."

"He might have a fever tonight, but if he can get through it, there won't be any major problems. However, whether his hands and feet can recover depends on the healing of his wounds. If he wakes up in three hours, feed him the medicine that has been prepared. It would be best if he could drink some, but it's okay if he spills some. After that, feed him every two hours."

Before Su Xuan could ask any questions, Fei Xi quickly informed him of Chunyu You's situation and what he needed to be careful about.

Su Xuan looked ashamed, bowed to her, and rushed into the room.

Fei Xi smiled slightly to show her understanding. For the injured person's family, not being able to see the injured person safe and sound immediately would inevitably cause them worry and unease.

As Fei Xi turned around after watching Su Xuan enter, she saw Grandpa Luo bow deeply to her.

"I am deeply grateful for Your Highness's righteous rescue, and I will repay you handsomely in the future. If Your Highness ever needs anything from me, please do not hesitate to ask!"

Fei Xi quickly stepped aside to avoid the grand gesture and went forward to help the old man up:

"Grandpa, there's no need for such formality. I felt an immediate sense of kinship with you upon first meeting you, as if I were meeting an elder from my sect. May I ask your name, Grandpa? May I call you Grandpa?"

"My surname is Luo, and my given name is Da Lun. Since the princess thinks so highly of me, what do I have to worry about?" Luo Da Lun was a straightforward person and did not hesitate at all.

"Grandpa Luo!"

"Hey!"

The two recognized each other directly, one willing to call out and the other daring to respond, both feeling a connection to each other's forthrightness.

Fei Xi told Grandpa Luo that he didn't need to address her as Princess, but could just call her Xiao Xi, and Grandpa Luo readily agreed.

Despite being physically exhausted, she was still curious about what had happened, so she asked directly.

"Three days ago, when our group arrived near the sand dune you mentioned, Xiaoxi, there was nothing there but sand, let alone a corpse."

"Just as we were about to leave after searching everywhere without success, the iron barrel monster you mentioned appeared to the east."

"When Nephew Qian saw that iron bucket monster, he acted rashly, insisting on testing whether the monster was as invulnerable as you said. Of course, he was no match for the monster. To save him, I used all my strength in a palm strike. However, my most proud move couldn't even scratch the monster's skin."

"When we saw that our attacks had no effect on the monster, we all lay down on the ground, just like you did when you encountered it."

"The monster did indeed stop attacking after we lay down. Such a peculiar monster really made us curious about what it was and whether it belonged to someone."

"At Boss Qiu's suggestion, we waited until the Iron Bucket Monster was a little further away before we quietly followed it."

"The monster doesn't react when we're far away, but if we get too close, it will suddenly emit a red light. But as long as we lie down in time, we'll be fine."

“We tracked it for a day and a night until we saw the monster with our own eyes, then it suddenly disappeared from our sight. We felt something was wrong and tried to continue chasing it, but we ran into an invisible wall.”

“An invisible wall?” Fei Xi repeated in astonishment.

"Indeed, ahead lies a desolate desert, yet it seems as if there is an invisible wall. No matter what methods we use, no matter how high we fly with our lightness skills, or how we attack that wall, it is all in vain. We are unable to take another step forward."

"Just when we were at our wits' end, Boss Qiu suggested that since King Baihan had mentioned that there had been an incident in the desert in the past where a red light shot out from an unknown place and attacked people, it is very likely that there are related records in the Temple of the Goddess of Abundance in the Kingdom of Us."

"So we decided to turn back first and see if we could find some clues in Ukraine."

Fei Xi felt increasingly uneasy as she listened. Chunyu You's wounds were identical to those of the people from Changchang Escort Agency who had been attacked by monsters in the temple.

Grandpa Luo said that they had already given up and were preparing to turn back, so how did Chunyu You get injured?

"Grandpa Luo, is the Boss Qiu you've been talking about that chubby uncle? From what you've said, nothing unusual happened along the way, so how did Young Master Qian end up in such a predicament?"

“That’s right, Boss Qiu is the person you’re talking about. He claims to be a merchant passing through this area. I see that he and his three guards are all quite skilled in martial arts, so their backgrounds must be extraordinary. But along the way, he has proven to be righteous and knowledgeable, and it was he who suggested that we come to you for help.”

Luo Dalun confirmed Fei Xi's guess and spoke highly of the fat man.

Seeing this, Fei Xi pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.

Seeing that Fei Xi didn't press further, Luo Dalun prepared to continue.

But for some unknown reason, a look of fear, apprehension, and a hint of despair suddenly appeared on the face of this usually composed old man.

"Just as we were about to reach the city, after we had just crossed a sand dune, something that did not belong to our world suddenly appeared before us."

"What is that? Is it scarier than that iron bucket monster?" Fei Xi had never seen fear on Grandpa Luo's face before. Without thinking, she quickly asked out of curiosity.

The old man paused briefly before continuing in a slightly trembling voice:

"...It tore the entire sky apart, the scarlet sky was cut into pieces by the eight beams of blazing light it shot out."

"It is more dazzling than the sun, surrounded by silver light, square and upright, standing between heaven and earth."

"It is enormous. When we look up at it, it is like looking up at the sun. Humans appear so small in front of it."

"But no matter how hard we try to catch up with it, it will always be far, far away, and out of reach of us..."

"Later, Boss Qiu told us that perhaps what we saw was a mirage at sea. Something like this that I can't describe may have existed for a long time, or it may not even be a thing of this world."
