Qin Chuan's injuries were severe, but his self-healing ability was also incredibly strong, even terrifying, coupled with the woman's elixirs.
Therefore, his injuries quickly recovered by half, and he would be fully healed in a day or two at most.
The woman wasn't surprised by Qin Chuan's powerful recovery ability; someone with the Divine Dragon Physique wasn't unusual, and might even become more formidable in the future.
In the woman's eyes, Qin Chuan possessed the Divine Dragon Physique, a perfect match for her own.
With the head steward dead, the matter was settled.
As for the other members of the head steward's household, the woman had no intention of doing anything, let alone eliminating them completely.
She had achieved her purpose here. She hadn't yet regained her memories; she was only here to gather information, collect some interest, and also to send a warning. After
this experience, the other party would be unable to stand firm without the woman's intervention and would come to settle their scores with her.
The woman wasn't worried; this day would come eventually. She just felt she was starting to lose control of her memories.
Recently, fragments of memories had been gradually returning, although she couldn't remember everything, she had recovered some.
This is why the woman came to see the head steward; it was a trial balloon, a way to test his cultivation.
The head steward's strength was only considered basic in that circle, and while the woman was slightly stronger than him before, it was still limited.
However, after rebuilding her foundation, her strength had undergone a tremendous change.
It was practically a complete transformation, as she had overcome the most difficult and crucial stage of the Great Dao Forgetfulness realm.
She looked at Qin Chuan, who felt uneasy under her gaze. This woman was almost divine, possessing an indescribable aura.
She was majestic, godlike, and like Chu Shi Qingzhu, ethereal and otherworldly—both were extreme.
He felt somewhat inferior in front of Chu Shi Qingzhu, and the same was true in front of this woman, though a different feeling was missing.
Chu Shi Qingzhu was Qin Chuan's spiritual sanctuary, but this woman was not; she was more of a figure Qin Chuan admired from afar.
However, there was a connection between them; Qin Chuan had received an initiation from her, the benefits of which were immense.
"Am I ugly?" The woman looked at Qin Chuan, noticing his gaze shift away.
"Cough cough!"
"Why do you ask?" Qin Chuan choked.
"Then why don't you look at me?" the woman said, startled by the question. The topic seemed a bit ambiguous; were they really that close?
But she quickly realized something. This was supposed to be a dead end, but because of Qin Chuan, they had both survived, and her situation had changed.
Besides, during that deadly situation, she had wanted him to leave alone, and she had the ability to do so.
Since she had brought Qin Chuan with her, she had a way to get him out of there under any circumstances.
But Qin Chuan hadn't left then, and she felt a mix of emotions at that moment. Even if she seemed like a goddess, she was still human.
Humans have normal emotions, even the most basic ones, and this woman was perfectly normal; it was just that her strength and beauty made her seem superior.
"You are beautiful, otherworldly. If you were ugly, there would be no beautiful women in this world," Qin Chuan said, smiling at her.
The woman smiled, a faint but genuine smile. Qin Chuan's praise made her very happy, and she knew he meant it.
It's said that women adorn themselves for those who appreciate them; if another man praised her, she wouldn't feel anything, perhaps even disgust.
But Qin Chuan's compliment made her inexplicably happy. If Qin Chuan had said she wasn't pretty, she didn't know how she would feel—she would definitely be unhappy, very unhappy.
She was startled by her own thoughts. When had she become like this? Why hadn't she thought this way before?
Qin Chuan was also a little bewildered. He could naturally sense what this woman was thinking, but it just felt unreal.
This woman wasn't an ordinary woman. Qin Chuan felt flattered and uneasy, as if it wasn't real. The woman
blushed, a rare occurrence, not a deep red, but very clearly, her charm brighter than the sun in the sky.
It's said that a man's courage is emboldened by a woman's indulgence. Qin Chuan was naturally incredibly moved, but he didn't dare to do anything now.
After all, they had only met twice, and things had only reached this point for various reasons. Qin Chuan even didn't know if he should pursue her.
"Let's go back first. Things might not be peaceful anymore," the woman said softly, her expression returning to normal.
Her heart was actually racing, but she was only pretending to be calm. She felt she had taken the initiative, but this guy just wouldn't budge.
She had already taken the first step, and he hadn't shown any reaction, but she wasn't angry. She just didn't know what kind of feeling it was; it was a feeling she had never experienced before.
Qin Chuan nodded dazedly and returned to Phoenix Hill with the woman, then went straight back to the restaurant.
This restaurant actually belonged to the woman now. No one was allowed on the top floor, and even the second-to-last floor was off-limits.
The second-to-last floor was now Qin Chuan's residence, while the top floor remained the woman's.
Actually, the top floor had many rooms and was quite large, but the woman was used to it and wasn't used to having another person suddenly.
Originally, the woman had suggested Qin Chuan stay on the top floor, but Qin Chuan insisted on staying on the floor below, which made the woman feel uneasy for some reason.
However, Qin Chuan didn't think much of it and didn't pay attention.
The injured Qin Chuan was healed again by the woman and fell asleep, half-conscious.
The woman hadn't left yet; she looked at Qin Chuan, at the sleeping man. Although she had never felt embarrassed looking at Qin Chuan before,
now that he was awake, she couldn't act the same way as before, because Qin Chuan had broken her Dao of Forgetfulness.
Qin Chuan was very handsome, leaning towards gentleness, yet not lacking in masculinity, after all, he possessed the Vast and Mighty Body or the Divine Dragon Physique—well, let's just say the Divine Dragon Physique.
Such an extremely strong and masculine physique naturally wouldn't lack masculine energy.
It was this masculine energy combined with his gentle and handsome appearance, along with the natural aura he exuded, that created an indescribable attraction. Only someone like him could make a woman feel comfortable looking at him.
She looked at Qin Chuan and felt a sense of familiarity. Since waking up, he was the first person who made her feel familiar, like a family member. Seeing him, with him around, made her feel that the world had warmth, no longer so empty, no longer so lonely.
