Chapter 101: Display of Strength
Li Shu also responded to Xing Lu on behalf of Wen Youheng.
"These two things are completely different. Xiao Wen is a person with special abilities, while your unfortunate male lover is an ordinary person without special abilities. Apart from his good looks, he is basically useless. If he doesn't curry favor with you, how can he survive in this cannibalistic world?"
"So," Xing Lu raised an eyebrow, "I like him to fawn over me and please me. Now he's almost dead, what do you think we should do?"
Li Shu shrugged, not taking the threat in Xing Lu's words seriously at all.
"What can I do? Didn't my brother already tell me that I'll give you a new one?"
Swish!
A silver dart flew past Li Shu's ear at high speed. She covered her bleeding ear and screamed in pain.
"Ah! Xing Lu! How dare you attack me!"
Xing Lu pinched her waist and sneered at her, as if she was pleased by Li Shu's painful appearance. The subordinates behind her began to cheer loudly, and there were also some mocking and insulting voices.
Li Song's face turned red in an instant due to anxiety. He caught a glimpse of Wen Youheng and Shao Leyan standing behind them and watching. Suddenly he thought of something, grabbed Shao Leyan's arm and pulled her in front of him.
Shao Leyan was caught off guard and met Li Shu's eyes.
"Hurry up, Xiao Shao, aren't you a healing psychic? This little injury shouldn't be a big deal to you!"
Li Shu looked at Shao Leyan's frail appearance. Even after hearing what Li Song said, he still had some doubts about Shao Leyan.
"Are you a healing psychic? What level?"
Wen Youheng hurriedly inserted himself between Shao Leyan and Li Shu, blocking Shao Leyan behind him.
"Sister Shu, Le Yan..."
Shao Leyan pursed her lips, took out a dose of dark purple liquid from her pocket, and spoke before Wen Youheng could make up a lie for her.
"To be precise, I'm a pharmacist. No matter how serious the injury is, I'm confident that I can cure it."
Wen Youheng turned around and looked at Shao Leyan in surprise. When his eyes fell on the liquid on her hand, he calmed down instantly.
Li Shu listened to Shao Leyan's words. Although he didn't believe it in his heart, he always gave him face because he was brought by his brother after all.
But Xing Lu, who witnessed Wen Youheng defending Shao Leyan, would not think so.
"You're so good at blowing, aren't you afraid of spraining your waist?" Xing Lu sneered. "Look at that color. God knows what you're trying to trick Li Shu with, but with her intelligence, she might actually believe it!"
Li Shu rolled his eyes in anger and was about to walk up to Xing Lu to argue face to face, when he heard a steady and firm voice.
"As for whether I'm bragging, why not just give it a try?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Shao Leyan for a moment.
Wen Youheng grabbed Shao Leyan's arm, frowned worriedly, lowered his head slightly, put his lips close to her ear, and spoke softly.
"His life isn't worth saving with something so precious."
Shao Leyan resisted the itch in his ears and gently patted the back of Wen Youheng's hand to comfort him.
"Don't worry, it's just a little blood. I can afford it. It also gives me a good opportunity to gain a foothold in the Red Flame District."
After Shao Leyan finished speaking, he struggled to pull his hand back. Wen Youheng's brows never relaxed, and the look in his eyes as he stared at Shao Leyan's back was filled with worry and tenderness that he himself could not see.
He really wanted to tell Shao Leyan that he could rely on him to gain a foothold in the Chiyan District, but this promise was too heavy, and he was afraid that he would go back on his word after saying it.
Whenever he imagined Shao Leyan looking at him with disappointment, his usually calm heart of steel would break and ache from the inside out.
Shao Leyan approached Xing Lu with steady steps. At this time, everyone from Xingyundao vigilantly surrounded Xing Lu, gathered all kinds of supernatural powers in their hands, and pointed them at Shao Leyan in a defensive posture.
It seemed that as long as she made the slightest movement, she would be met with endless attacks.
Xing Lu was much calmer than her subordinates who were serious and nervous. She curled her lips and watched Shao Leyan approaching, with malicious light in her eyes.
"what are you up to?"
Shao Leyan didn't answer her, but walked straight to the stretcher and stood there.
Bang!
Shao Leyan used his index finger to pop open the reagent stopper, and with his other hand, he pinched the man's chin with his tiger's mouth and squeezed his mouth open with force.
This set of actions took only three seconds before Xing Lu reacted and hurried to stop it.
"Don't touch him!"
call out!
A copper rod as thick as a finger flew towards the reagent in Shao Leyan's hand, but was accurately intercepted in mid-air by Wen Youheng who suddenly appeared.
The flying copper rod had worn a gash on his palm, and bright red instantly flowed down his hand.
Wen Youheng didn't even frown. He threw the blood-stained copper rod to the ground, with a cold face, standing in front of Shao Leyan like a guardian angel.
Xing Lu was frightened and her face turned pale, but she quickly calmed down and confronted Wen Youheng with a frown. The tense atmosphere was about to explode and no one spoke.
Taking advantage of their confrontation, Shao Leyan poured all the reagent into the man's mouth.
She threw the empty test tube to the ground, and the glass made a crisp sound when it hit the ground and shattered into pieces.
Xing Lu was furious but helpless. She glared at Shao Leyan who stood up, even though the latter didn't even glance at her.
Xing Lu looked at Shao Leyan, but spoke to Li Shu who was watching calmly not far away.
"Li Shu, not only did your people hit my beloved pet, but you also pulled all these deceptive tricks to scare me. What? Do you think that we in the Xingyun Dao are all reckless men who only know how to fight but have no brains?"
Li Shu didn't understand what Shao Leyan was doing, but Xing Lu had already tacitly acknowledged that they were in the same group, and there was no reason for her to swallow her anger.
"Xing Lu, it's better not to throw dirty water around. If you get slapped in the face, you won't be able to get over it!"
"Oh!"
Xing Lu sneered, and with a flip of his wrist, five silver darts appeared out of thin air in his palm, reflecting colorful and sharp light under the constantly changing lights.
"If you can't cure it, I want you all to pay with your lives."
Xing Lu looked at Wen Youheng and said, "You can try to escape with her. I'm also curious, which one is faster, your spatial transfer or my dart?"
Wen Youheng had a blank expression on his face, but the unwavering determination in his eyes expressed everything he wanted to say.
There is no way back.
Whether you succeed or not, you have no choice but to move forward.
Shao Leyan ignored Xing Lu's threats and didn't even respond to the concerned looks from Li Shu and Li Song from time to time.
She was concentrating on observing the man's condition until she saw that his pale face, which was splattered with blood, had regained some color. Only then did her nervous heart finally calm down.
The next second, the man slowly opened his eyes.
He woke up.
"Look, he's awake!"
Taoist Xingyun, who was nearby, screamed in surprise.
"Oh my god, he's sitting up!"
"How is this different from bringing the dead back to life? Where did Brother Li Song find such a powerful healing psychic?"
"This level should be comparable to Sister Yu Xin!"
"How can Shuxin Lane have such high-level healing abilities? They just live on the edge of a knife, fighting and killing every day."
"That's right, it's really unfair!"
