Once everything quieted down, the glow around her neck disappeared. Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and saw the little prince not far behind her. She ran over, scooped him up in her arms, and his little body trembled slightly as she held him by the back…
The little prince closed his eyes tightly, his little mouth slightly open, trembled a few times, and then went limp. He let out two mournful cries, and his little body slumped on Wan'er's arm.
Soon, Wan'er felt something sticky on her hands. Startled, she carefully moved her hands away from behind the little prince.
Only then did he realize that his hands were covered in blood.
"What's wrong, little prince?" Wan'er's heart sank, and she burst into tears, somewhat flustered, as she began to check on the little prince.
At that moment, Grandpa Xiao walked over from the side and said, "Sigh, he hurt himself while trying to save you."
Wan'er raised her tearful eyes and pleaded with Grandpa Xiao for help, "Grandpa, what should I do? There's nothing here."
"Hurry up! Go to my studio." Grandpa Xiao grabbed Wan'er's wrist without further ado and dragged her away. "Find a quiet place quickly. Maybe your spirit jade can save him. Hurry!"
Seeing Grandpa Xiao say this, Wan'er quickly followed him forward. Wan'er believed that Grandpa Xiao was different from his daughter.
She hadn't gone far when Wan'er discovered that the place she had been before had completely changed in just a few minutes.
The corridor of the small building has now become a tunnel leading to the cave.
The tunnel exuded the fresh scent of earth, perhaps because it was natural. The tunnel was wide enough for two adults to pass through, and the two ran forward for about two minutes.
At the end of the road stood a stone wall. In the center of the wall was a crack less than a foot wide, covered with spiderwebs. Spiders of all sizes hovered and scurried about on it, seemingly carefree and at ease. At first glance, it appeared that there was no entrance or exit.
Wan'er stopped in her tracks, following Grandpa Xiao. She was no longer surprised by this.
"Go in, you can heal him once you're inside." Grandpa Xiao raised his hand, wiped the spider less than a foot away, stepped aside to let him pass, and looked at Wan'er with a half-smile in his eyes. "It's perfectly safe inside. Are you brave enough to go in?"
"I'd do anything for him." These words came easily from Wan'er's mouth, and the sleeping little prince seemed to twitch his ears.
Without looking to the side, Wan'er lifted her foot and walked towards the crevice in the rock. On her left and right sides, there were two fist-sized black spiders, baring their fangs and claws at Wan'er.
Seeing that they were about to pounce on her, Wan'er was terrified but did not back down in the slightest.
"Close your eyes!" Grandpa Xiao's voice was right next to Wan'er's ear. Hearing Grandpa Xiao's reminder, Wan'er closed her eyes and quickly lowered her eyelids...
There was no sound around her. After taking five or six steps, Wan'er opened her eyes and immediately saw a spacious cave in front of her, at least 100 square meters in size.
To the right of the cave, a stove was burning, and next to the stove was an ordinary-looking wooden bed, except that there was no quilt on the bed, but only a whole piece of jade.
Strangely, although a fire was burning inside the cave, the smoke from the stove didn't swirl around inside; the cave was warm...
"Put it on the bed." Standing in the room, Grandpa Xiao pointed to the bed. "This is the only valuable thing I have here. It is said that with the help of spiritual power, this jade bed can heal wounds. I haven't tried it myself yet. You've come across it, so this is your good fortune. Hurry up and give it a try."
