In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.
Chapter 332 Energy Deficit
When Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu arrived, Mu Yan was almost at the end of her strength.
No one knew how she had managed to squeeze the three iron houses together, blocking the entrance to the alley. The only space left on the side was blocked by stacking two long iron tables together.
Mu Yan was covered in wounds, her clothes and face stained with blood, and her legs were trembling slightly. But even so, she placed her hands on the long table, her thin body slightly bent, and desperately pushed against the table to prevent the enemy from breaking through this gap.
But cracks had already appeared on the tin house next to it.
"A Zhan!" Qiao Yu called Jiang Zhan softly.
Jiang Zhan understood and immediately used the wind power to support the long table, then pulled Mu Yan into the spiritual barrier.
"Mu Yan."
When Mu Yan heard Qiao Yu's voice, she quickly turned around with a smile on her face, "Sister Fairy..."
Her voice was hoarse and weak. Before she could finish her words, her head tilted and she fell straight to the ground, fainting.
"Yan Yan!"
Qiao Yu ran over and picked up Mu Yan, then pulled Jiang Zhan and walked back quickly.
As soon as Jiang Zhan's wind power withdrew, the long table was pushed away. People on the opposite side of the iron house rushed over and wanted to catch Mu Yan, but when they got there, they found that this place was empty and there was no one in sight.
"What's going on? Where's Mu Yan?"
"Yeah! It was just pushing against the door, how come it disappeared in an instant?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Forget it, forget about her for now. Go chase that old woman first!"
"Yes, yes, let's go!"
Everyone reached a consensus and continued running towards the gate.
--
At this time, Mu Yan had been brought back by Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan to the alley where she had just met Mu Yuan and Chen Wanning.
"elder sister!"
Mu Yuan was originally leaning against the wall to rest. When she saw Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan coming back, with Qiao Yu holding her sister in his arms, she immediately wanted to run over.
Unfortunately, she had overdrawn her supernatural powers, and before she could stand up, her legs went weak and she fell directly to the ground.
Mu Yuan's face showed an anxious look, and tears as big as beans began to fall uncontrollably. She didn't care about her physical fatigue, and used her hands and feet to crawl towards Qiao Yu.
"elder sister--"
Qiao Yu quickly ran over and said, "Yuanyuan, don't be afraid. Your sister is fine. She was just too tired and fell asleep. She will wake up soon."
"Really?" Mu Yuan asked sobbingly.
"Really, sister won't lie to you." Qiao Yu put Mu Yan down and put her hand over Mu Yan's wound. A green light flashed, and all the wounds on Mu Yan's body gradually healed.
Mu Yuan stared at the scene blankly. Before she could come to her senses, Qiao Yu's hand covered her foot again, and then the wound on her foot disappeared.
Qiao Yu helped Mu Yuan up, touched her head, and asked softly, "Yuanyuan, can you tell me what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuan stopped worrying about the wound and immediately sobbed, "They... wanted to arrest Grandma Chen... Grandma told us to run... but she fainted... They are all helping the bad guys..."
Mu Yuan was too young and was caught up in her emotions, so her words were incoherent, but Qiao Yu still roughly understood what she meant.
"You mean, someone wanted to arrest Grandma Chen, and she told you and your sister to run, but she fainted, and everyone who used to live on your street helped the bad guys to catch Grandma Chen, right?"
"Yeah!" Mu Yuan nodded, still sobbing, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Qiao Yu frowned upon seeing this.
How could this happen? It was clear that everyone on this street had been parasitized by Chen Wanning, so why would they help outsiders capture Chen Wanning?
Moreover, why didn't Chen Wanning fight back? Why did she even faint?
"Good boy, you and your sister did a great job."
Qiao Yu patted Mu Yuan's head in reward, then looked at Chen Wanning who was wrapped in a large cloth.
Qiao Yu lifted the cloth and saw a face that was almost unrecognizable.
Her skin all over her body had become like dead wood, her face was much older than before, with wrinkles all over it, and her hair was scattered like dead grass, making her almost like a wooden figure.
If Jiang Zhan hadn't said that this was Chen Wanning, Qiao Yu wouldn't have dared to believe that this was a human being.
"Her mental fluctuations are very weak." Jiang Zhan whispered beside him, "She is dying."
Mu Yuan, who was standing by, burst into tears again after hearing this. She tugged at Qiao Yu's trouser legs and pleaded, "Sister Fairy, Sister... please save Grandma Chen..."
"Grandma said you are very capable and good people... Please... please save Grandma..."
"Yuanyuan, don't cry. Sister will do her best to save grandma." Qiao Yu wiped Mu Yuan's tears and promised softly.
"But Yuanyuan also has to promise me that she won't tell anyone about the whole process of my saving lives today, including the treatment I just gave you and your sister, okay?"
"Okay! Yuanyuan won't tell anyone, no matter who asks!" Yuanyuan wiped her tears and nodded solemnly.
"Yuanyuan is so good."
Qiao Yu touched Mu Yuan's head again, and then looked at Chen Wanning again.
To be honest, Qiao Yu had never encountered such a situation before and didn't know how to save Chen Wanning. However, Qiao Yu felt that Chen Wanning aged because the parasite consumed too much energy, so her current appearance was probably related to the energy deficiency in her body.
Since the jade tree energy can heal wounds and is effective on all living things, it should also be effective on Chen Wanning.
So Qiao Yu tentatively placed his hand on Chen Wanning's brow and began to slowly transfer energy into her body.
Qiao Yu's guess was correct. After Qiao Yu started to supply energy to Chen Wanning, her body showed visible improvement.
Her skin color gradually returned to normal, and her skin, as dry and hard as dead wood, began to gradually return to the softness of a human.
However, such energy transfer obviously consumed a lot of Qiao Yu's energy. Before Chen Wanning woke up, Qiao Yu withdrew his hand, staggered, and felt dizzy.
Jiang Zhan, who was standing by, quickly reached out and pulled Qiao Yu into his arms. He frowned and asked worriedly, "Ayu, are you okay?"
Qiao Yu shook his head. "I'm fine. But the deficit in Sister Wan Ning's body is too great. With my current ability, I can't make up for it."
Although Qiao Yu failed to completely replenish the deficiency in Chen Wanning's body, he still gave her a chance to catch her breath. Chen Wanning's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Qiao...Yu."
"It's me." Qiao Yu held Chen Wanning's hand, "Sister Chen, how do you feel now?"
"I'm sorry, you're running low on energy. My abilities are limited, so I can't replenish it all at once. But don't worry, I'll take you back with A-Zhan right now. If one time doesn't work, we'll try twice. As long as you take care of yourself for a long time, I'll definitely make you better!"
