Chapter 151: I have never seen such a beautiful female in the central city.

The carriage drove steadily on its way towards the central city.

Huaijun still stayed in the carriage to accompany Sheng Ran.

Since returning from the deep sea, Sheng Ran has never looked as weak and exhausted as she did in the past few days.

It seems that her vitality has fully recovered and she no longer has to worry about the possibility of "withering".

It was a pity that her voice hadn't improved at all, and was still in the stage after being frightened. She could only squeeze out one or two words with difficulty.

Huaijun held Sheng Ran in his arms and considerately covered her with a blanket.

He still held the small clay pot containing the spiritual spring water in his hand, but he had not touched a drop of it since leaving the deep sea.

Huai Jun initially thought that Sheng Ran was just shy and didn't want to kiss him, but later he realized that it was more than that.

"Wife, why don't you drink the spiritual spring?" Huai Jun finally couldn't help but speak, "Your throat is not healed yet, drinking a little will help you recover faster."

The morning light was dim and Sheng Ran was still a little sleepy.

She raised her head from Huaijun's arms in a daze, shook her head at him, and moved her lips, uttering only one word: "Province."

Huaijun was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

He looked at the seriousness in Sheng Ran's eyes, and then looked at the size of the pottery jar. If he really wanted to drink, he really wouldn't be able to hold it for many times.

"You want to save it for a critical moment?"

Sheng Ran nodded. The spiritual spring water was very precious, and she wanted to try to recover with her own abilities first.

The system has been exchanging healing potions for her these past few days. If the situation this time is the same as last time, there is a chance that it will gradually get better.

not to mention……

Sheng Ran then stretched out her hand, pointed at her throat, and shook her hand.

Huaijun immediately understood: "You still want to play dumb?"

"Hmm." Sheng Ran's voice was dull and she uttered a single syllable with difficulty.

After Yuan Ziyun returned to the central city, he must have spread the news that she had become mute.

They might as well take advantage of the situation and make everyone think that she really has lost the ability to speak.

The beastmen outside the carriage also heard the noise inside.

Pei Xiaoxing was worried about this plan. He said to Sheng Ran through the carriage window, "But if you pretend to be mute, you won't be able to tell us in time if you encounter danger."

Sheng Ran looked at everyone with a firm gaze, pointed at herself, and then pointed at everyone.

She lip-synced: [I have you.]

What's more, the spiritual spring water is not only used to restore her vitality and voice.

The effect of healing other injuries will definitely be very significant.

"Leave it for you to use." Sheng Ran expressed it word by word.

She didn't finish her words, but everyone's eyes turned red.

Ling Rui scratched his head and said in a muffled voice, "Wife, don't worry about Lingquan. We can just look for it again! Your voice is important!"

"That's right!" Zhu Jiuyin pushed others aside, his red hair filling the entire window. "Your healing ability is already strong enough. We don't need the spiritual spring water. We just want to protect you."

Sheng Ran smiled and patted their hands, signaling them not to worry.

Huaijun held her hand, and a faint warmth came from his fingertips: "Okay, we will listen to you. But if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell us, and you are not allowed to force yourself."

Everyone nodded.

From this moment on, Sheng Ran only spoke single words when necessary, and most of the time communicated with eye contact and gestures, as if she had really become "mute".

But no one thought it was a bother. Instead, they paid more attention to her needs.

When she glanced at the kettle, Pei Xiaoxing would hand over the water;

When she touched her belly with her fingertips, Ling Rui would take out some pastries;

When she stared at the plants outside the window, Yun Ling would whisper, "When we get to the central city, find better flowers for you."

As the carriage approached the central city, the city walls in the distance gradually became clear.

It was built with huge blue-black stones, so high that the top was out of sight. The walls were engraved with intricate patterns, exuding majesty and oppression.

Sheng Ran looked at the city wall, and her heart suddenly felt like it was clenched - a strange memory surged up along her blood vessels.

That is the memory of the original owner.

She grew up in this prosperous city, and in her early childhood, the family atmosphere was harmonious and happy.

Ever since an altar prophecy was activated, her sister awakened the rare white peacock bloodline, and she didn't even have the most ordinary beast form. Everything changed.

She was wearing an ill-fitting coarse cloth skirt and had messy hair. She followed her parents, but her sister Sheng Jieyue deliberately pushed her and she stumbled and fell into the mud at the city gate.

People around were laughing and saying, "Why is the second young lady of the Sheng family so ugly?" and "She looks like a mud monkey."

She got up and wanted to complain to her parents, but she saw her mother holding Sheng Jieyue's hand and saying softly, "Don't argue with your sister, she is just a fool"; her father frowned and scolded her for being "shameful".

Sheng Jieyue stood aside, smiling as she handed her a dirty handkerchief, but her eyes were full of mockery: "Sister, wipe it off, otherwise people will think that our Sheng family is abusing you."

It was even worse when they grew up, and the two sisters seemed to have become a control group.

People around her always say that "the saintly lady Sheng Jieyue is gentle and beautiful" and "the second young lady of the Sheng family is ugly and vicious."

Those words were like needles, piercing the original owner's heart, and also piercing Sheng Ran's heart at this moment.

"Wife, what's wrong with you?" Huai Jun was the first to notice that something was wrong with her. Her face was pale, her fingertips were trembling slightly, and her eyes were red.

Sheng Ran took a deep breath and shook her head.

Yun Ling guessed from her expression that Sheng Ran must be recalling a bad experience in the past.

He reached into the carriage and held Sheng Ran's hand tightly, "Master, I'm always here."

Sheng Ran felt much calmer and rubbed Yun Ling's hand with her face in a dependent manner.

She looked at the city wall, and her disgust for the original owner gradually faded.

The reason why the original owner became such a vicious person was that he armed himself with thorns in an environment where no one loved him or protected him.

In the past, I only knew her evil nature, but I didn’t know the pain behind it.

Now that she has received so many strange yet real memories, Sheng Ran gradually understands that although she has made mistakes, she is also a pitiful person.

No one knew that Sheng Ran was feeling sorry for another person's fate. They just thought that she was moved by the scene and remembered her childhood.

Ling Rui clenched his fists and said, "If anyone dares to bully my wife in Central City again, I will never let him go!"

Zhu Jiuyin also nodded: "Yes! My wife is ours now. Whoever bullies my wife is bullying us!"

Sheng Ran felt warm in her heart as she saw everyone protecting her.

The carriage slowly approached the city gate. She took a deep breath and prepared herself to face everything.

The gate of the central city was crowded with people, most of whom were foreign orcs who came to attend the birthday party of the Holy Female.

The guards wore uniform silver armor and held spears in their hands. They checked the invitation letters of those entering the city one by one, and the inspection was extremely strict.

Sheng Ran and his group were standing at the back of the line. When it was their turn, the guard took the invitation from Sheng Ran and couldn't help but look at this beautiful female a few more times.

He had never seen such a beautiful female in the central city, and he didn't know which capital city this distinguished guest was invited from.

Just as I was about to let someone in, I glanced at the name on it -

"Sheng Ran".

The guard's eyes suddenly widened and he almost dropped the spear in his hand.
