Chapter 136 Deterioration
"Are you sick?!"
Li Muhan yelled at Xia Yue.
But he immediately suppressed his emotions, and after taking a few deep breaths, he tried to make his expression calmer.
"...Okay, Xia Yue, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first."
"No, I won't go on with you anymore, leave me..."
A layer of thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and Li Muhan's pupils slowly shrank. He could hardly believe what he had just heard.
"What did you just say?"
Xia Yue's chest was heaving violently and she seemed very excited, but now, her breathing stopped, and she slowly stood up straight, looking up into Li Muhan's eyes.
Her eyes were bloodshot, showing no emotion at all.
"That's enough. I don't want to go on with you anymore."
"...What did I do wrong?"
Li Muhan didn't expect that things would happen so suddenly. He stood in the rain, feeling hesitant and helpless. The boy wanted to reach out and grab Xia Yue's shoulders, but the vampire raised his hand and clawed at him, forcing him back several steps.
"Leave, leave now, and don't let me see you again."
Xia Yue's words were extremely cold. Li Muhan felt as if he was back in half a year ago, also a rainstorm, and also himself and Xia Yue.
But this time, she rejected herself and no longer wanted to let herself touch her.
"...I thought we knew each other well enough, Xia Yue."
"No, you will never understand me. I am just a monster, human. Turn around and go."
"You... said before that you like..."
"Maybe it was just a boring attempt. My life is long, so long that I have to do something to entertain myself so that I can pass the boring time. But now, I'm tired of it."
"You're... bored? A pastime? Are you serious?"
Li Muhan suddenly noticed that Xia Yue, who had been calm just now, now had a dim look in her eyes, but it was only for a moment. Soon she regained her indifference, looked at Li Muhan and nodded.
"Yes, short-lived creature, you are not worthy to travel with me."
“…”
Boom——
Lightning flashed across the sky, seemingly tearing the space in front of the two people.
Li Muhan slowly loosened his clenched fists. He had felt this powerlessness before when he faced the devilish teacher in the orphanage and when he was abandoned by Gu Ruoxi.
And now, he once again realized that no matter what changes he made, this feeling of powerlessness would always hang over him like a shadow.
He didn't say anything, but just turned around slowly, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.
His rain-soaked hair covered his eyes.
“…”
Xia Yue looked at Li Muhan's back, she was still enduring.
Not yet...he is still within his sight.
We must never relax.
absolute......
Her vision became blurry and her consciousness began to fade.
The voice seemed to be getting closer and closer to her.
[Shalia...Shalia]
"Get out...of my...head..."
Just hold on a little longer, and soon, very soon Li Muhan won't realize what's happened to him... Just a little longer...
But in the end, she couldn't hold on.
thump--
Xia Yue slowly knelt on the ground, and then fell sideways into the rain-soaked ground.
In the last moment before she lost consciousness, she only saw the man who was about to walk away was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at her.
Don't look...Idiot, just go away.
Let's go...
Although Xia Yue really hoped that Li Muhan would just leave like that, after all, she had just said such harsh words to him.
But when she saw that idiot rushing towards her like crazy, Xia Yue felt extremely relieved...
You are such an idiot...
Just like that, Xia Yue completely lost consciousness.
In the heavy rain, Li Muhan held Xia Yue tightly in his arms. He took off his coat and wrapped it around the girl's thin and slender body.
"Xia Yue!! Xia Yue!!!"
As he called out, he carried the girl to a room in a nearby motel. After wiping the girl's body as best he could with the sheets and quilt, he gently touched the girl's forehead.
“…It’s so hot.”
Vampires can also get fever?
This thought arose in Li Muhan's mind.
Soon Li Muhan discovered that not only Xia Yue's forehead was hot, but her entire body was hot. Her originally fair little face was now a little red due to the abnormality of her body.
"...Xia Yue, Xia Yue, wake up..."
Li Muhan gently patted Xia Yue's cheek, but it was of no use.
Soon Chi Yuan's voice rang in his mind.
"Li Muhan, what happened between you and Xia Yue? I just saw you carrying Xia Yue into a hotel from the vantage point."
Li Muhan was slightly stunned, and then he remembered that it must be Mengmeng who linked their consciousness together, so they could communicate across the air without worrying about being monitored.
"Xia Yue suddenly collapsed and is now very hot. Can vampires also have a fever?"
He asked anxiously.
"Vampires don't have fevers. If her body is hot, then there must be something wrong inside her body."
The one who answered Li Muhan was Hati.
"Don't panic, wipe her body clean and then soak her in cold water."
"Okay, okay."
Under Hati's guidance, Li Muhan carried Xia Yue to the bathroom. After taking off her wet clothes, Li Muhan put her in the bathtub.
"Are you sure it's cold water? She has a fever now."
Li Muhan asked again.
"Yes, and the water must be kept flowing."
Hati said again.
"The flowing water will paralyze the vampire's body, but it will also allow the vampire to generate a self-defense mechanism that reduces its energy consumption to a minimum, just like a power-saving mode."
Even if Hati didn't explain, Li Muhan wouldn't doubt anything.
After all, Hati has saved her more than once. When Xia Yue was in estrus, it was Hati who helped Xia Yue recover.
He turned on the faucet, and soon the bathtub was full of water. Even though the water overflowed, Li Muhan did not stop draining it. He had to keep the water flowing.
"How is it now?"
Ha asked.
Li Muhan carefully observed Xia Yue who was naked in the bathtub.
"Her breathing has gradually calmed down, but she still looks very uncomfortable."
"After all, it's just an emergency measure. Now we have to find out what happened to Xia Yue."
Li Muhan hurriedly crawled into the guest room and took out his cell phone from the coat that had just wrapped Xia Yue.
He opened Lin Ze's phone.
Just as he was about to make the call, the temperature of the entire space suddenly began to rise, and a scorching breath began to gather behind Li Muhan.
He turned around suddenly and saw a woman in a black robe with a sexy figure and exquisite appearance standing in front of him.
Her hands and body were bound by chains, and even her face was restrained by a mask similar to the one created by her necklace.
But even so.
The moment those deep purple eyes stared at Li Muhan, he understood what the woman wanted to say to him and her identity.
[I...can help you save your lover]
Li Muhan took a breath of cold air.
Because this woman is none other than Lucifer.
