Chapter 198: Using her death to exchange for peace in the world of beasts

"My dear wife!" Yun Ling's eyes instantly turned red, and his phoenix feathers grew rapidly, and he was about to rush over.

But Sheng Jieyue stopped him sternly: "Don't move! If you move again, I'll kill her!"

Tu Shanyi's tail instantly tightened, his fox eyes narrowed into slits, but he didn't dare to take another step forward.

Zhu Jiuyin clenched his teeth, and the ancient divine fire condensed in his palm, but he was afraid of hurting Sheng Ran, so he could only endure it.

Sheng Jieyue looked at Sheng Ran who was being held hostage by her, and a twisted smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The confusion from before was gone: "Sister? Sheng Ran, don't you think it's too late to call me sister now?"

She gently rubbed the skin on Sheng Ran's neck with the blade of the dagger, leaving a shallow red mark.

"Don't hurt her!" Pei Xiaoxing's knuckles turned white as he gripped the token, and his whole body was shaking with anger.

"If you want the identity of the Holy Female, I will give you the Pei family token!" He threw the metal token over, "Let go of my wife."

He tried to negotiate with Sheng Jieyue.

At the same time, Ling Rui lowered his voice and said to Huai Jun, "Use your sound ability to knock the dagger away."

"I'm trying to think of a way," Huai Jun said anxiously, "The dagger is too close to my wife, it could easily hurt her by mistake!"

The Beast King was also extremely weak at this moment. She glared at Sheng Jieyue, "You don't care about anyone's life at all! Do you still have a heart?"

Sheng Jieyue turned a deaf ear to this, and the only thing left in her eyes was murderous intent towards Sheng Ran.

"Don't try to provoke me! Today, either Sheng Ran dies, or I take the entire beast world with me—it's your choice!"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Sheng Ran's back.

The coldness on her neck made her clearly realize that Sheng Jieyue had never really wavered.

She looked at the anxious eyes of the beastmen around her and the frightened faces of the people.

My heart felt like it was being weighed down by a huge rock.

She couldn't let Sheng Jieyue's conspiracy succeed, but now she was being held hostage, even using her strength became a luxury.

She shook her head at Huaijun, saying, "Don't waste your energy."

At this moment, Sheng Jieyue suddenly exerted force and the dagger moved closer.

The blade had pierced the skin and blood was oozing out.

"Choose!" she roared. "Either you die, or we all die together!"

Sheng Ran closed her eyes, feeling extremely exhausted both physically and mentally.

If she was going to die anyway... why not use her own life to exchange for peace in the entire animal world?

It's worth using her death to exchange for peace in the animal world.

With her lower lip bitten until it turned white, Sheng Ran made up her mind and gave Sheng Jieyue one last look: "I can fulfill your wish."

"But after I die, you must not harm innocent people, nor poison the Beast King. Most importantly... I will not allow you to harm my Beast Husband."

Sheng Ran spoke word by word, as if she had used up all her strength.

She saw Sheng Jieyue's contemptuous smile, closed her eyes again, and a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.

She stepped forward and placed her hand against the sharpest part of the dagger.

"Wife!" The beastly husbands exclaimed at the same time and wanted to rush over to stop them, but it was too late.

The moment she let the dagger stab her, Sheng Ran's heart was filled with regret.

She hadn't had a good chat with Yun Ling yet, hadn't seen Shang Shi Fang getting better and better, hadn't accompanied Ling Rui to the training ground for a match, and there were still Pei Xiaoxing, Huai Jun, Tu Shanyi, and Zhu Jiuyin...

However.

Just as the pain hit, a strong white light suddenly appeared and enveloped her body.

【Host, why don’t you wait for me! 】

Sheng Ran felt a black screen before her eyes and completely lost consciousness.

——She fell into a dream.

She once again dreamed of the scene after her death in her previous life.

Her body lay on the cold ground, gradually turning into a field of flowers and plants.

Greenery spreads and covers the ground.

But what was different from before was that six familiar figures appeared in the dream.

Yun Ling squatted beside the flowers, gently brushed the petals with her fingertips, and whispered "Master".

Tu Shanyi took the kettle and watered the plants carefully, muttering, "My wife is the most beautiful, I must take good care of her."

Ling Rui sat beside them, using his earth-related ability to build a small mound of earth to surround the flowers and plants, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't let the wind blow you down."

Pei Xiaoxing, Huai Jun, and Zhu Jiuyin were also there.

Some of them cleaned up the weeds, while others used their special powers to drive away pests.

Everyone's face was filled with longing, and they called her name over and over again.

"Wife, come back..."

"I'm here..."

Sheng Ran wanted to respond, but no sound came out.

My head hurts like it's being pricked by countless needles.

She struggled desperately to wake up from the dream.

But I am always trapped in this patch of flowers and plants.

Just then.

A small glowing ball bounced and appeared in front of her.

The little dumpling was only the size of a palm, and its body was glowing with a light golden light.

The little girl's voice was soft and a little aggrieved, "I'm leaving..."

"Who are you and where are you going?" Sheng Ran asked in her heart.

"I'm leaving you..."

The little ball rubbed her consciousness, and Sheng Ran felt herself wrapped in the soft touch.

"I can't bear to leave you...but you have to be well...stay with them...be well..."

Finished.

The little dumpling's light gradually faded and finally disappeared into the dream.

Sheng Ran spent a very long dream.

The images in my mind are jumbled and chaotic.

The physical pain is also hard to ignore.

She kept struggling in her dreams, but couldn't wake up.

After an unknown amount of time, her heart suddenly started beating rapidly, and she suddenly became aware of something and regained consciousness.

Sheng Ran suddenly opened her eyes.

Light rushed into her field of vision, and what came into view was the familiar ceiling of the inn room.

A familiar quarrel sounded beside my ears——

"Who changed this dress for my wife? The material is good, but the color is too plain. I'm sure she won't like it!"

It was Tu Shanyi's voice, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"What do you know? This dress is the most breathable and suitable for patients."

Huaijun's voice was calm, yet it carried an irrefutable pragmatism.

"And you! Zhu Jiuyin! The bath water prepared for my wife is too hot! Do you want to burn my wife?"

Ling Rui's voice carried his usual impatience.

"I used my powers to test the temperature, and it's just right! You're just too sensitive!"

Zhu Jiuyin retorted unconvincedly.

"Stop arguing," Pei Xiaoxing's voice sounded, steady and reliable, reassuring. "I'll just use my ice ability to adjust the temperature. Don't wake my wife."

"Shut up, everyone." Yun Ling's voice suddenly interrupted, raising his voice impatiently, "Today it's my turn to clean my wife's body, all of you irrelevant people, get out now."

"Why are you wiping me? I want to take care of my wife, too!" Ling Rui shouted in dissatisfaction, "When my wife wakes up, I'll sue you!"

But as soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.

After a few seconds, Tu Shanyi's voice was a little depressed: "Wife... can you really wake up?"

No one answered.

The previous quarrel seemed like a farce, and now there was only silent worry.

Sheng Ran looked at the ceiling, listened to their words, and couldn't help but smile.

She spoke softly, extremely weakly: "I'm awake... Why is there no one to welcome me?"
