EBE Chapter 840 Overestimated
Chapter 840 Overestimated
"Oh no, I overestimated her resilience."
He was somewhat annoyed. He was used to dealing with madmen like Sasori who transformed their bodies into puppets, and he was also used to his own battle-hardened nerves. But he forgot that although Mei Terumi was a genius, she was still quite young, and this was the first time she had suffered such a terrible injury and treatment.
This level of pain is enough to destroy the will of a normal person.
"If we force her to continue, her mind may collapse first, leading to chakra disorder and treatment failure."
Zhang Hai's mind raced, and cold sweat trickled down his face.
We must find a way!
Without interrupting treatment or using poison, try to distract her or provide her with some form of emotional support!
"Is there any way...is there any way..."
His gaze swept over Mei Terumi's face, which, though distorted, still bore a resemblance to hers, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Since you were injured because of me, since you suffered because you wanted to see me..."
Zhang Hai took a deep breath, his eyes becoming profound and complex.
"Perhaps, that's the only way."
The water temperature inside the treatment chamber seemed to have risen imperceptibly, or rather, it had become scalding hot due to the body temperature of the two people inside.
"Well……"
Mei Terumi's consciousness swirled between excruciating pain and a strange, unfamiliar sensory stimulation. Zhang Hai's crimson Sharingan eyes were no longer cold, but filled with a captivating depth of emotion. He no longer used harsh words to reprimand her, but instead stepped directly into the narrow water tank.
"look at me."
Zhang Hai's voice was deep and magnetic, like an ancient incantation. He cupped Mei Terumi's small face, contorted with pain, and kissed her deeply.
This is not the kind of superficial appeasement we've seen before, but a plunder aimed at seizing all our attention.
In this enclosed space filled with the aroma of herbs and warmth, Zhang Hai's palm passed through the warm water and pressed against her trembling skin, conveying not only chakra, but also a most primal and intense emotional fluctuation.
That immense joy, filling and cherishing the depths of her soul, was like a sudden tsunami, instantly washing away the pain that had been dominating her brain. Mei Terumi's body, which had been as taut as a bowstring, softened little by little in Zhang Hai's embrace. The excruciating pain of bone marrow reshaping miraculously became blurred, eventually transforming into another kind of blush-inducing tremor.
Her consciousness gradually went blank, leaving only the godlike face of the man before her and the intoxicating scent emanating from his lips.
……
"Oh my god...this...this..."
The slug, which had been lying on the edge of the bulkhead and responsible for maintaining the chakra supply, felt that its entire mollusk body was in bad shape.
Its originally soft, blue-and-white body was turning a ripe, shrimp-pink color at a visible speed. Its two adorable antennae curled up frantically as if startled, and eventually even retracted into its head.
"Lord Zhang Hai... what are you doing...?"
As a spirit beast that has lived for thousands of years, the slug has seen a lot, but this is the first time it has ever seen such a thing as performing a highly difficult surgical operation while staging such a restricted scene on the operating table.
"This is...this is so embarrassing! I was watching right there! How could they do this!"
The slug screamed inwardly, feeling its "beastly worldview" being severely impacted. It desperately wanted to close its eyes if it had eyelids, or simply cancel the summoning and run back to Shikkotsu Forest, but its professional ethics as a medical ninja beast forced it to remain at its post, channeling chakra while being compelled to witness this blush-inducing and heart-pounding "treatment process."
"I'm not clean anymore... Waaah... I'm not pure anymore..."
……
Time slipped away quietly amidst the ambiguity and the scent of medicine.
After an unknown amount of time, the vibrant pale green liquid in the treatment chamber finally turned back into clear water. This meant that all the essence of the medicinal herbs had been completely absorbed by Mei Terumi's body.
"call……"
Zhang Hai slowly released Terumi Mei. He was also covered in sweat. Maintaining precise chakra control while also having to focus on "emotional soothing" was a huge drain on him.
"Wake up, little girl."
Zhang Hai gently patted Mei Ming's slightly dazed face. Although his voice was tired, it carried a sense of relief. "The first stage is over. The medicine has completely penetrated into your bones and muscles. We've passed the most dangerous gate of hell."
Mei Terumi's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she opened her eyes somewhat blankly. The excruciating pain she had felt was gone, replaced by a warm and comfortable sensation throughout her body, and an indescribable lingering shyness.
"Really...it doesn't hurt anymore?"
She tentatively moved her previously broken left arm. Although it was still a little sore and weak, the stinging pain from the broken bone was actually gone! She could even bend her fingers flexibly.
"Oh my god! I can move!"
Mei Terumi cried out in surprise, overwhelmed with excitement at the feeling of returning from hell to the human world.
"Don't move around." Zhang Hai reached out and pressed down on her body as she tried to sit up, his tone both doting and serious. "Although the bones have been set, you still need to rest for a while to fully heal. You're like a porcelain doll that's just been glued back together; if you move around too much, you might break again."
"Also, although you won't be soaking in this pool anymore, you'll still have to drink my special herbal soup three times a day. It doesn't taste very good, so be prepared."
However, Mei Terumi, now reborn, was completely oblivious to all of this.
Looking at the man in front of her who had gone to great lengths to save her, even at the cost of his own life, the love in her eyes was almost overflowing.
"I don't want to drink any bitter medicine!"
Suddenly, Mei Terumi stretched out her arms and boldly hooked her arms around Zhang Hai's neck, hanging on him like a koala. Her big, watery eyes stared intently at him, and a charming and affectionate smile appeared on her lips.
“That ‘treatment method’ was really good… I think it’s the best painkiller in the world.”
She leaned close to Zhang Hai's ear, her breath sweet as orchids: "Zhang Hai, you are the best medicine to heal me. As long as you're here, what need is there for herbal soup..."
Zhang Hai was taken aback by her sudden and bold confession, then smiled helplessly and reached out to flick her nose.
