“How is it impossible!”
Hearing the voice come behind, Wu Zhou got stiffened suddenly. How did she find this place?
He stood trembling and even dared not look at the bloody man in front of him.
“Turn around. Let me see how much courage you have, making you dare to torture my man.”
Ronghua swept him over with a sword. Wu Zhou had been unable to move since just now, so naturally, he couldn’t escape Ronghua’s hit full of the momentum of the sword.
He was hit into the door frame fiercely and landed on the ground awkwardly, but Ronghua no longer cared about him and went directly to the man on the ground.
“Rongnuan... how are you?”
Ronghua dared not to touch his bloody body. If it weren’t that she could recognize his breath, she could not believe that this one was Rongnuan.
“Rongnuan... Are you hurt?”
In a trance, Rongnuan seemed to hear Ronghua calling him. Did he mishear? Or was she indeed here?
He opened his eyes hard, “... Huahua?”
Tears dropped from Ronghua’s golden eyes, “Em, I’m here, I’m here. Do you still hurt? I’m sorry that I’m late.”
“Huahua, I... it hurts!”
He tried his best to stretch out his hand to Ronghua slowly. He couldn’t conceal the burning pain in his body, and his appearance was so pathetic that Ronghua also felt hurt and was afraid to touch him, “I know. I know. I will not let go of that group of people.”
The intention of killing flashed in Ronghua’s crystal-clear eyes. She covered around his hand with her hands but stopped a centimeter away from it. The golden light in her body passed to Rongnuan along her arms.
“Huahua, ah...”
The golden light entered his body. The pain of reshaping the body was so great that most people could not bear it.
Rongnuan yelled. The next second, he opened his eyes and saw that Ronghua was healing him, but the pain in his body was unbearable.
“Rongnuan, hold on. It’ll be fine.”
She knew that he was in excruciating pain and also felt unwilling to do so, but she had to because it was the only way to help him recover and rebuild his body.
Rongnuan became panting for breath and desperately wanted to seize Ronghua, the lifesaving straw for him.
Looking into her eyes, which were still golden and did not change, Rongnuan found that she showed great concern on her face.
He suddenly felt no pain. Ronghua hadn’t broken her words and did come here to save him, and he knew that she would protect him.
“Huahua...”
“Shh!” Ronghua said to him, “Be quiet. Talk to me after you recover, all right?”
Rongnuan looked at her in a dull and then nodded with difficulty. He kept enduring the pain painfully.
No one could understand how painful it was when the golden light entered and kept reshaping his body.
Seeing that Rongnuan recovered a bit from the mangled appearance beyond recognition, Ronghua finally sighed of relief.
“It’s all right. You’ll be fine soon. I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”
As Ronghua was concentrating on Rongnuan’s treatment, next to them, Wu Zhou finally struggled to stand up. With a frightening gaze, he stared at Ronghua, who was healing the man.
He clenched his fists tightly, and the jealousy was burning in his heart. His attitude towards Ronghua was no longer only a sea of resentment now. How could such a man be able to receive the aid of Ronghua’s golden light? Why did they have to fall into a restless end?
How come it would be like this?!
With the resentment hard to eliminate in his heart and the fact that Ronghua had killed his father, Wu Zhou couldn’t be friendly to Ronghua anymore.
He raised his knife secretly. Although his spiritual power didn’t recover much after Ronghua had severely injured him, he was to attack her from behind. He believed that Ronghua was unable to react to this attack.
Sure enough, before Ronghua turned around to ward off Wu Zhou with her icicle, his knife had already slid along her icicle and stuck into her back.
Ronghua kept silent and directly threw away the icicle. With one hand continuing to cure Rongnuan, she held Wu Zhou’s knife stuck in her body with the other one, and soon the ice spread to Wu Zhou’s hands along with it. Wu Zhou probably did not expect that Ronghua could use her method even when she had been injured so severely. He hurriedly let go of his knife and staggered back. He leaned against the wall and stared at her while panting.
She looked at him with a pair of narrowed eyes, “You even dare to attack again.”
Ronghua’s golden pupils flashed and revealed an intention of violence. Rongnuan’s treatment could not be delayed anymore, but it would be troublesome with this person here.
“Princess Ronghua!” Wu Zhou gnashed his teeth, “You can try your best to save an unrelative person. How could you treat us like that?”
Ronghua’s face was gloomy as if she was about to kill him in the next second. However, she dared not move now. If she wasted more time, she was afraid that Rongnuan would die here.
“You are a cold-blooded animal, ruthless person.”
Ronghua did not speak but kept quietly offering Rongnuan with the golden light.
Wu Zhou also noticed Ronghua’s action behind her, “The golden light! You’ve never used your golden light on us, but now you’re spending a lot to save him. How amazing you are!”
Ronghua still kept silent for a while, but at the same time, she was secretly gathering power in her hands, “I didn’t intend to kill you and your father, but you took an attack first and did not repent at all. How can I keep you alive to fight against me?”
“So, you killed my father?”
Wu Zhou was angry and seemed to become crazy, but Ronghua still didn’t act.
“Otherwise? Let go of him first and then kill him when he became fat?”
Wu Zhou suddenly became speechless. Should he laugh at her joking words?
Rongnuan had been sitting on the ground, but now he recovered a bit and became movable with the help of Ronghua’s golden light.
“Huahua...”
Hearing his calling, Ronghua turned around, “Rongnuan, are you fine?”
He nodded, “Huahua, let’s leave here!”
Leave here? He should be frightened now.
It was true. Since Rongnuan had been tortured and flayed alive here for so long, he should have a deep fear of this place, but now she had to subdue Wu Zhou first.
Ronghua stepped back to cover his body with a big fur coat, because his new skin was like that of a newborn baby, fragile, sensitive, and tender. She said, “Come on. Stand up. Let’s go. Let’s leave here now.”
Rongnuan bent over and hid in her arms, unwilling to raise his head. He held her hand with his hands, shaking slightly.
“Huahua, can we leave here now?”
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Ronghua helplessly. She noticed that he genuinely wished to leave.
“Okay, we will leave at once!”
Ronghua helped him up and was about to leave, but Wu Zhou blocked in front of them and said, “Where are you going? You can go nowhere without my permission.”
Wu Zhou was almost going crazy and pointed at them with his knife.
“You’d better get out of the way. Otherwise...”
“Otherwise? Will you continue to take away my talent from my body like taking away my father’s?”
Ronghua found that Wu Zhou, who was glaring at them, had already lost his head, “I won’t take away your talent for the time being, okay?”
“Huh, is this your mercy? Listen, I don’t need it. Do you think everyone wants the talent? It’s just a burden.”
Ronghua became annoyed, “Burden? This burden is not something that everyone can have.”
“So...” Ronghua waved her hand, “Get out of the way!”
The cold-ice punishment directly hit on Wu Zhou. Being unable to dodge or ward off it, he was knocked outside of the house. Ronghua held Rongnuan and slowly approached him, “You’d better not show up in front of me again. Otherwise, I’ll let you regret that you have this talent.”
Wu Zhou watched Ronghua left step by step, but he could not stop her. He was unmovable at all.
He lay bleeding on the ground. Since he was wounded by Ronghua again after having been seriously injured, it would be hard for him to recover within ten days or half a month.
Ronghua stretched out her hands to close the gate of the boundary, “Reflect on yourself here. Don’t dream of leaving before you recover.”
Rongnuan gazed at her, “Huahua.”
Ronghua turned her head to look at him gently, “Let’s go. Go back to the imperial clan of Zither, okay?”
“Em.”
In the ice-covered imperial clan of Zither, Murong Zhe sighed and looked around again. It was hard to maintain this state for a longer time, but he had no idea what to do now.
“Ronghua, when will you come back? I cannot control the Ice Lotus of the Heart’s Blood.”
Xia Pumo was also anxious. He gazed at him and said, “Zhe, it’s cold outside. Come in!”
Xia Pumo stood at the door and did not come out. His body had been frail, and now he became weaker because Murong Zhe hassled him day and night.
After hearing that he coughed twice, Murong Zhe said sympathetically, “Why do you come out? Since your body is weak, take care of yourself. Go in hurriedly. I am here, and it’s enough.”
Although Murong Zhe said so, the Ice Lotus of the Heart’s Blood was becoming more challenging to control.
“But, if Ronghua doesn’t come back soon, it will become uncontrollable here.”
“Why did she leave?”
“She said she was going to save someone.”
“Oh.”
“I’ll be back for a while.”
The two were shocked. Who was speaking?
“Who? Who is talking?”
“It’s all right. I’m here.” Murong Zhe hugged Xia Pumo to calm him and, simultaneously, come on to him.
“It’s me, Ronghua. I’m talking to you through transmitting sounds.”
“Ronghua? How soon will you be back?”
Xia Pumo looked around, but she was not here.
“You don’t need to worry about it. The Ice Lotus of the Heart’s Blood is about to over, and now I’ll tell you how to end it.”
“Okay.”
“Alas, wait, you have to remember the fledgling’s action, understand?”
“Ah!”
Mu Rongzhe did not know what it had to do with the fledgling’s action.
“What does that action have to do with this?”
“Of course. It’s known that the fledglings that have just been born will regard the first living thing they see as their mother, and it is also known as the imprinting behavior in ethology. The study by imprinting is the early learning mode of the animals after birth with a specific sensitive period.”
Mu Rongzhe was somewhat helpless, “Your Grace, what we are talking about is the Ice Lotus of the Heart’s Blood, do you understand?”
“I know, but it’s almost the same as to the Ice Lotus of the Heart’s Blood. It is also usable to the Ice Lotus of the Heart’s Blood now. Don’t you understand?”
“What’s... the meaning?” Xia Pumo clearly did not understand what she meant.
