Chapter 46 It's so damn sweet! That was her first thought...
Not only him, but others saw it too.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Liu immediately reminded Lin Jianyu, "Junior Sister, your eyes have turned blue again."
He thought Lin Jianyu was about to undergo a transformation, but upon closer inspection, it didn't seem quite right.
When she mutated before, her body underwent visible changes, as if she could transform into another creature at any moment, making her look distorted and terrifying.
This time, apart from her pupils turning blue, her body did not change significantly; only her expression was pained, as if she were enduring some inhuman torture.
Out of worry and doubt, he subconsciously took a few steps closer to her, and the closer he got, the colder he felt.
It wasn't an illusion, because at this moment, a layer of frost had already formed on Lin Jianyu's body.
He was familiar with this appearance; he had seen it before back in Fujian and Yue.
Those who were injured by Lu Jiao's ice arrows all looked like this.
Lin Jianyu seemed to be in a slightly better condition than the others, because she could still move... well, she couldn't move anymore.
Lin Jianyu is indeed unable to move now.
She lay prostrate on the ground, like an ice sculpture, unable to move or make a sound. She could only clutch Lu Jiao's clothes tightly, as if silently pleading for help, or as if grasping at the last straw.
Lu Jiao lowered his eyes, observing coldly as if it were none of his business.
Time passed second by second, and Lin Jianyu remained motionless. Even though he was a worldly man, Zhu Liu couldn't help but worry and cautiously called out to Lu Jiao, "Boss."
Lu Jiao ignored him, so he didn't dare to call out again and turned to look at Yun Dan beside him.
Yun Dan wanted to do something, but didn't know what she could do, as did everyone else.
Ultimately, it was the one who struck first from afar.
He crouched down and poked Lin Jianyu's body with his finger, then quickly pulled back as if he had been burned.
The others first looked at his movements, then at his fingers. They saw that his originally pink fingers were instantly covered with a layer of frost, and the frost was spreading around.
He subconsciously shook his hand, but the frost on his fingers did not disappear because of this action. In the end, he used his spiritual power to slowly remove it.
As the chill in his fingertips slowly faded, he looked at Lin Jianyu on the ground and said in a condescending tone, "Hopeless."
He said there was no hope, so the only one who could save Lin Jianyu is Lu Jiao.
"Boss." This time, it was Xuan Zhan who was addressed.
Xuan Zhan had seen people injured by Lu Jiao's ice arrows and had even moved them. Touching them during the process was inevitable, but his hands didn't freeze; he just felt cold.
He only became truly nervous after realizing that Lin Jianyu's situation might be different from those others.
Well, at first he thought Lu Jiao was just teaching Lin Jianyu a lesson, like every time before.
"It's beyond saving." Lu Jiao repeated the same statement.
His blood contains extremely powerful energy that can only be absorbed by Lin Jianyu himself. Any effort made by others, including himself, is futile.
Given Lin Jianyu's strength, absorbing his blood would be virtually impossible, unless...
"Only you can save yourself. If you want to live, absorb as much of your heart's blood as possible."
Yes, the only way for her to save herself is through mutation.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a successful mutation; as long as her body can withstand the energy contained in his blood, that's enough.
This sounds simple, but it's very difficult to do.
It's difficult, at least for Lin Jianyu.
Although she was already able to cultivate, because she had only been cultivating for a short time, her body was no different from that of an ordinary person. At most, she was just a little more resilient. It would be almost impossible for her to absorb his blood while undergoing the mutation.
There's no "unless" this time.
After hearing his words, Lin Jianyu remained prostrate on the ground without any reaction, which was within his expectations.
In fact, at this moment, Lin Jianyu was already a corpse in his eyes.
Looking at the motionless person on the ground, he reluctantly took a step back, trying to break free from her hand. However, after taking two steps back, her hand was still there, which... left the mermaid speechless.
After a moment of silence, he didn't back down. Instead, he looked at her hand, hesitating whether to chop it off. Otherwise, given her demeanor, which even death couldn't separate them, he might have to drag her corpse with him in the future.
As if sensing danger, the moment the thought crossed his mind, the veins on Lin Jianyu's hand bulged out.
Noticing this, Zhu Liu excitedly shouted, "Look, Junior Sister is starting to change!"
And then, that was it.
The blood vessels bulged for only a moment, then returned to normal in an instant, so fast that it seemed like a hallucination.
"That's it?"
As he finished speaking, the veins in Lin Jianyu's hand bulged for a moment, then again and again.
"What's going on?" Zhu Liu asked, puzzled, looking at Lu Jiao.
Lu Jiao was still looking at the hand that Lin Jianyu was holding onto his clothes. He saw the veins on that hand bulge and then disappear in an instant. He temporarily abandoned his idea of chopping it off and wanted to see if Lin Jianyu could create a miracle.
Since becoming immobile, Lin Jianyu's mind had been in a state of confusion until she heard Lu Jiao say that only she could save herself... She wanted to live, but she didn't know how to absorb the drop of heart's blood in her body.
Fortunately, her body seemed to instinctively know how to absorb that drop of heart's blood. While she was still thinking, her body had already begun to change.
As she absorbed more and more energy, her previously frozen body gradually regained sensation.
At first, there was a slight pain, and then the pain intensified. She knew that her body was undergoing a change, and subconsciously, she moved closer to Lu Jiao.
"She moved." Although it was very slow, everyone present noticed that she was crawling towards Lu Jiao.
It took her almost ten minutes to go from a two-step stretch to a bent arm, and nobody helped her, nobody!
These blind animals.
She cursed inwardly, while raising her other hand to grab Lu Jiao's clothes.
Lu Jiao: "..."
Lu Jiao held back for a long time before she was finally prevented from flying away.
The consequence was that Lin Jianyu, taking advantage of the situation, grabbed his clothes and slowly climbed up.
Yes, we used him as a tool to leverage our strengths.
When she started climbing, others noticed that not only her hands, but also the veins on her face and neck were bulging.
It looked as terrifying as ever, but not distorted, because it started from the beginning moment by moment, before it reached the stage of distortion.
With great difficulty, Lin Jianyu managed to get up with the help of Lu Jiao. Exhausted and in pain, all she wanted to do was lie down and die.
So why did she get up?
Oh, help!
"save……"
She had barely uttered a single word when Lu Jiao turned his head to the side, as if he didn't want to see her.
she:"……"
She really wanted to turn his head around, but as soon as that thought arose, it was replaced by another.
Blood.
Because his head was turned to one side, the blood at the corner of Lu Jiao's mouth was clearly visible to her.
As if bewitched, her actions outpaced her brain. By the time her brain reacted, she had already licked the blood off.
It's so damn sweet!
That was her first thought; her second thought was that she was dead.
Along with this thought came a familiar feeling of weightlessness, followed by two loud thuds as her "corpse" first crashed into a tree and then fell to the ground.
Yun Dan, who came to collect her body, looked at her "corpse" and murmured, "You can be considered to have died under the peony flower. Rest in peace!" As he spoke, he even tried to close her eyes with his hands... but couldn't.
Lin Jianyu died with her eyes wide open... Bah, she felt she could still be saved.
But her blood came out before she could save her life.
That fall caused her internal injuries.
Normally, Yun Dan and the others would extend her life in this situation, but right now her body is still undergoing abnormal changes.
Looking at the bulging veins on her body, Yun Dan had no idea what to do and could only advise her to rest in peace.
There's no way she can find peace now; they can't save her. So she'll go find Lu Jiao and explain to him that she didn't mean to be disrespectful to him; she was completely misled just now.
Yes, his blood is poisonous and can cause mental confusion.
She was already weak-willed, and he further manipulated her; it was no wonder she couldn't control herself.
Lu Jiao was a bit far away from her, so she gave up after climbing for a while and let Yun Dan and the others, who had no sense of propriety, take her to Lu Jiao.
Yun Dan and the others didn't dare to do that. They dropped her off three meters away from Lu Jiao and put her down, claiming that an apology should be sincere.
Does she not know that an apology should be sincere?
The problem is, she's almost dead.
In the end, of course, she didn't crawl to Lu Jiao on her own. Qian Li saw that she was pitiful, with her veins bulging, her face contorted, and she was vomiting blood. In fact, he couldn't bear to look at her... Anyway, he took pity on her and dragged her to Lu Jiao.
She didn't want to recall how humiliating the process was; she clung tightly to Lu Jiao's leg, confessing her sins while pleading for help.
Lu Jiao neither forgave her nor saved her. Looking down at her, he said, "I can sense the location of your master."
His words successfully startled Lin Jianyu, who was on her deathbed, into sitting up. She stopped repenting and pleading for help, and looked up at him anxiously, asking, "Where?"
"I won't tell you," Lu Jiao said.
Lin Jianyu: "..."
I don't know why, but it felt like it was exactly what I expected.
"I was wrong, really, please tell me, considering how pitiful I am!" After saying that, she spat out another mouthful of blood, looking truly pitiful.
However, Lu Jiao, the merman, had no sympathy whatsoever.
Seeing her like this, he not only didn't tell her, but also said, "You'll see him when you die."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianyu's expression immediately changed: "What do you mean?" She thought that Lu Jiao was indirectly telling her that her master was dead.
Lu Jiao didn't explain, and lifted his foot... but couldn't walk, Lin Jianyu was holding him too tightly.
"let go."
"Tell me first, what happened to my master?" Lin Jianyu said, hugging him even tighter.
“He’s fine, you’re the one who’s going to die,” Lu Jiao said coldly.
"That's good." Lin Jianyu breathed a sigh of relief, and her hand loosened, leaving her lying on the ground like a dead fish.
After Lu Jiao left, she realized the second half of his sentence. It was too late to ask for help; she could only wait to die.
They waited and waited, but didn't die.
His body no longer frosted over, his blood vessels no longer bulged, even the internal injuries from the fall were healed, and most importantly, his pupils were still blue.
She felt that her transformation had been successful, and happily ran to find Lu Jiao to tell him the good news.
Lu Jiao said that this could be considered a blessing in disguise, but the transformation was still far from successful!
After hearing this, she wasn't too disappointed... well, she was quite disappointed, but compared to the anomaly, she was more concerned about her master's whereabouts.
"You said you sensed my master's location before. You weren't just saying that because you were afraid I was dead, to keep me hanging, were you?"
