: Why am I injured again?!

Lin Xiao randomly picked a mobile phone shop on the roadside and stopped.

"Boss, do you have the latest mobile phone model?"

After entering the mobile phone store, Lin Xiao took out his phone from his pocket as he spoke.

I'm going to double-check the game's name so I can download it directly later.

However, he had just turned on the screen.

The entire screen turned blood red.

Dangerous!Dangerous!Dangerous!

Three blood-red "danger" characters immediately appeared in Lin Xiao's eyes.

Your swordswoman wife is severely injured and on the verge of death!

"Damn it. How did this huge problem arise when I wasn't watching it for a moment?!"

Lin Xiao was speechless, looking at the dying Lin Qishuang on the screen, wondering what had happened.

However, he was in no mood to check what had happened.

Would you like to spend 1288 to purchase a Nine-Turn Creation Pill to extend the life of your sword immortal wife?

Seeing the huge amount of money being recharged on the screen, Lin Xiao didn't even have time to feel sorry for himself before clicking to recharge.

After the recharge was successful, the game interface underwent a significant change.

Golden clouds gathered continuously in the sky above the room, shimmering with countless rays of light.

This process lasted a full minute before the spectacular special effects finally ended.

As the special effects ended, a pill containing a cyan jade box appeared on the table in the room.

[Lin Qishuang has lost consciousness and is unable to take her medication on her own. Would you like to spend 198 to unlock the feature allowing her to personally feed herself her medication?]

"Damn it, you win!"

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, knowing that these were just the damn game's tricks to force players to spend money.

But at this point, he still had no choice but to comply.

Lin Xiao almost gritted his teeth as he pressed the payment button. A flash of golden light appeared on the screen, and the interface switched directly to the interior of the wooden house.

His gaze suddenly zoomed in, landing on the edge of the bed.

Lin Qishuang's white clothes were stained with blood, her once tied-up black hair was disheveled and hanging down, her face was deathly pale, her chest was rising and falling slightly, and her breath was so weak that it seemed as if she would die at any moment.

She held the broken sword, which had just been repaired, tightly in her palm.

The blade was covered with fine cracks, as if it had withstood an impact far exceeding its limits.

"What exactly happened?"

Lin Xiao's heart tightened. He had been cultivating peacefully just a moment ago, so how could he have been injured like this in the blink of an eye?

He didn't have time to think it through; he tapped the button with his fingertips as instructed, and the cyan jade box opened automatically.

A perfectly round, full-bodied Nine-Turn Creation Pill, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance, floated out.

The pill was surrounded by a faint mist of white vapor, which was refreshing to look at.

The next second, the perspective changed again, as if he were really in that quaint wooden house.

His "hand" gently lifted Lin Qishuang's chin and carefully placed the pill into her mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a warm current that slid down the throat and into the stomach.

In just a short while, a faint blush appeared on Lin Qishuang's pale face, and her originally weak breathing gradually stabilized.

[The Nine-Turn Creation Pill has taken effect; Lin Qishuang's injuries have been temporarily relieved, and she is no longer in a near-death state.]

[Unidentified malevolent energy has been detected remaining in Lin Qishuang's body. She needs to be treated with Qingxin Pills. Would you like to purchase ten Qingxin Pills for 648 yuan?]

Lin Xiao looked at the recharge pop-up window that appeared on the screen again, and her temples throbbed with anger.

This lousy game is just greedy, they just ripped me off for 1288, and now they're ripping me off for 648, it's never going to end.

But looking at Lin Qishuang, who was still unconscious on the bed.

His furrowed brows and pale lips made it impossible for him to bear ignoring her.

"Never mind," Lin Xiao sighed, helplessly saying, "Just consider it money spent to buy peace of mind."

With another tap of the payment button, ten crystal-clear Qingxin Pills instantly appeared beside the jade box.

This time, no new functions were unlocked. The pills automatically transformed into streams of light and merged into Lin Qishuang's body.

As the effects of the Qingxin Pill spread, the dark aura between Lin Qishuang's brows slowly dissipated, and her brows gradually relaxed.

Lin Qishuang's condition is stable, and she is expected to wake up in a day.

[Unlocking the rewind function allows you to view the events surrounding Lin Qishuang's attack. A payment of 198 yuan is required to unlock this feature.]

"It's 198 again!" Lin Xiao almost dropped her phone.

But he really wanted to know who had hurt Lin Qishuang.

With her restored strength, ordinary demons couldn't even get close to her. Anyone who could injure her like this was definitely no ordinary being.

After hesitating for no more than three seconds, Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and paid the money.

The scene began to reverse, returning to a few hours earlier.

At that time, Lin Qishuang was meditating and cultivating, surrounded by spiritual energy, and was in a state of tranquility.

Suddenly, the door of the wooden house was smashed open, and a dark figure carrying a strong aura of menace rushed in.

The dark figure was tall and wore a black robe. Its face was covered by a hideous ghost mask, obscuring its true appearance.

"Hand over the Lingtian Sword Sect's most precious treasure, and I'll spare your life!"

The masked man's voice was hoarse, as grating as a broken gong.

Lin Qishuang suddenly opened her eyes, a flash of sword light, and the broken sword was already in her hand: "You petty scoundrel, I have nothing to do with the Lingtian Sword Sect anymore!"

Before the words were even finished, the two were already locked in combat.

The masked man's moves were ruthless and cunning, each move carrying a deadly aura.

Lin Qishuang's broken sword was greatly weakened, barely managing to hold out for several dozen rounds.

He was struck in the chest by the masked man, spitting out blood as he flew backward and crashed heavily into the wall.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Lin Qishuang relied on her rich combat experience to throw her short sword, which barely managed to repel the masked man!

After the masked man left, Lin Qishuang looked up at the sky.

"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to repay your great kindness yet; I can only wait until the next life..."

The scene ends here, and Lin Xiao's face is so gloomy it could drip water.

The most precious treasure of the Lingtian Sword Sect?

It seems that Lin Qishuang harbors far more secrets than he imagined.

The masked man was clearly after the treasure, and having failed this time, he will surely come again.

"Damn it, this old lady is such a troublemaker."

Lin Xiao cursed under his breath, but he didn't really feel disgusted at all. Instead, he felt a strong sense of protectiveness towards his own.

Looking at Lin Qishuang, who was still unconscious on the screen, he suddenly remembered something and clicked on the Sword Immortal Training Battle Order.

In addition to the daily spirit stones and pills, the battle pass also includes a progress bar for repairing the broken sword, which is currently less than one percent complete.

"If a broken sword is not repaired, it will still be at the mercy of others if attacked again."

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, then his gaze fell on the upgrade options for the battle pass.

[Upgrading the Sword Immortal Cultivation Battle Pass to Tier 2 requires a payment of 1288 yuan, unlocking the Broken Sword Accelerated Repair function, increasing daily repair progress by 50%, and also includes a high-grade protective formation.]

Lin Xiao looked at the price and took a deep breath.

Never mind, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

He touched the wages he had just received in his pocket, gritted his teeth, and clicked to pay.

The salary I just received, barely warmed up, has to be thrown away.

Meanwhile, the mobile phone store owner watched Lin Xiao standing in front of the counter, sometimes gritting his teeth, sometimes looking serious, muttering to himself while looking at his phone screen.

After hesitating for a long time, I finally couldn't help but cautiously speak:

"Young man, the phone screen is black. What are you doing tapping on it? Why don't you get a new phone? All the phones in our store are the latest models..."

"Huh? What did you say? My phone screen is black?"

Lin Xiao looked at the colorful screen on her phone, then at the phone store owner, her face filled with astonishment.
