Chapter: 1935
Ito Nanako replied immediately without hesitation, "Leaf Chen, even if you can't cure me, I'll still agree to any conditions you may have, with no hesitation whatsoever!"
Leaf Chen nodded slightly and said seriously, "I want you to agree that after I cure you, if you still love martial arts as much as you do now, you should continue to cultivate yourself in private, but don't participate in any international competitions again. Can you agree?"
"I can!" Ito Nanako said firmly, her eyes unwavering. "After the last competition, I deeply reflected on the lessons Leaf Chen taught me earlier, and I realized that martial arts is a spiritual pursuit, not just a competitive sport. So, I've already lost my enthusiasm for competing."
As she spoke, she looked at Leaf Chen with deep emotion and said seriously, "Since I met Leaf Chen, I've come to understand the principle of what's outside human nature and what's above human nature. A true master like Leaf Chen won't participate in such competitions; only by letting go of the desire for victory or defeat can one truly achieve a deeper level of martial arts cultivation."
Leaf Chen saw her speaking with conviction, and his heart was put at ease.
Then, he looked at Nanako and smiled slightly, taking out a Rejuvenation Pill from his pocket and placing it in front of her, saying, "Nanako, take this pill. It won't just allow you to recover fully but also enhance your physical strength and abilities!"
As she looked at the Rejuvenation Pill, her astonishment was unhidden, and she asked Leaf Chen, "Leaf Chen, can this... really cure my injuries?"
Leaf Chen nodded and smiled, saying, "With Master's guidance, it's a guaranteed recovery with no refunds."
"What Master?" Nanako asked in surprise, "Is Master just a nickname for you, Leaf Chen?"
Leaf Chen laughed, saying, "It's not quite a nickname. It was given to me by some friends from the capital as a term of respect."
Nanako burst into laughter and exclaimed, "So I can also call you Master from now on?"
Leaf Chen replied casually, "You can call me whatever you like."
Nanako thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I think it's still more affectionate to just call you Leaf Chen sir. It should only be between us, right?"
Leaf Chen nodded in agreement, saying, "In Chinese culture, we don't address each other this way."
Nanako smiled sweetly and said sincerely, "I hope I'm the only one to address you as Leaf Chen sir in the future!"
"Good." Leaf Chen didn't know how, but her smile seemed to weaken his resistance a great deal.
As he saw her smiling so sweetly like honey, Leaf Chen suddenly felt a faint sense of sweetness.
Leaf Chen dared not carefully savor that sweetness, quickly changing the subject and urging, "Hurry up and take your medicine, you're not saying you want to go out and watch the snow, right? Don't wait until the snow stops and your medicine hasn't been taken yet."
Nanako laughed, "According to the weather forecast, it's going to snow until tomorrow."
As she said that, she picked up the Return Spring Pill, looking at Leaf Chen, "Leaf Chen sir, can I just swallow this directly?"
"Yes." Leaf Chen said seriously, "After you take it, I'll help guide the medicine absorption."
Nanako lightly nodded her head without any hesitation and put the pill into her mouth.
At that moment, the pill immediately turned into a warm flow, rushing from her mouth into her stomach, then spreading throughout her body.
Nanako could clearly feel that her body was undergoing a dramatic change at this moment.
