Even though she had chosen to submit to Charlie Wade like a monk, Yun Ruge did not want him to witness her crawl out from the narrow gap in the boulder.


    At that moment, her body was in severe pain from the injuries she had sustained. Climbing away from the explosion zone had drained nearly all her strength, and as she struggled to rise, her legs trembled like leaves in the wind.


    As she gritted her teeth and attempted to step forward, a sharp pain shot through her right leg, causing her to pitch forward uncontrobly.


    Seeing Yun Ruge tumble face-first toward the gravel, about to collide with the sharp stones, Charlie Wade acted swiftly, delivering a punch into the air.


    A powerful gust erupted from his fist, creating a hurricane of immense energy. The force was so rapid that it caught Yun Ruge, who was at a precarious 45-degree angle, and held her suspended mid-air!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    In that moment of free fall, Yun Ruge hadpletely resigned herself to her fate. She understood that if she hit the ground, her face would likely be ruined. Yet, her body was beyond repair, and she could only watch helplessly as she descended. It felt utterly powerless.


    What she never expected was for Charlie Wade, who was still several feet away, to unleash such a powerful wind!


    This mighty gust not only spared him any harm, but it also acted as a protective barrier, supporting her as she teetered on the brink of falling!


    Just as her astonishment peaked and her body hung at that precarious angle, she caught a glimpse of Charlie Wade striding toward her from the corner of her eye.


    As the wind began to diminish and she was on the verge of falling again, Charlie Wade reached her side.


    With a firm grip from his right hand, he stabilized her body and gently straightened her up.


    Yun Ruge exhaled in relief, ready to express her gratitude, when suddenly, Charlie Wade’s left hand shot toward her face!


    Yun Ruge’s heart raced as she saw his hand approaching at lightning speed, thinking he intended to p her. Confusion and a sense of injustice flooded her mind. After living for over a hundred years, she had never been struck in the face.


    Yet, deep down, she understood that as Charlie Wade’s captive, she had no choice but to endure whatever humiliation came her way.


    However, just as she braced for the impact, Charlie Wade’s left hand did notnd a p; instead, he pushed a ck elixir into her mouth.


    Yun Ruge’s fear intensified, convinced that he was feeding her some sort of poison.


    But before she could finish her inner tirade against him, she felt the pill dissolve, transforming into a warm current that surged through her body, healing her injuries at an astonishing rate!


    Yun Ruge had never encountered such a potent elixir before. Given her critical state, it felt as if a person on the brink of freezing in the snow had suddenly plunged into a hot spring, enveloping her in warmth and revitalizing her entire being!


    The severe damage from the explosion was mending at an unimaginable pace!


    Although a single rejuvenation pill wasn’t enough to restore her to full health, it granted her a second chance at life, pulling her back from the edge of death!


    It was only then that she realized the truth: Charlie Wade had not poisoned her, but had instead given her an incredibly precious elixir!


    Though standing was still a challenge, she felt her broken bones knit together, enabling her to walk unaided!


    Overwhelmed with gratitude, she bowed deeply to Charlie Wade and, with tears in her eyes, said, “Thank you, Mr. Charlie, for saving my life…”<fn3c44> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? find[?]ovel</fn3c44>
