Chapter 177 A Kiss
"Stop it now!" The crying voice was full of pain. The lightning strikes seemed to hit Shen Jiang herself, making her feel unbearable pain.
How could he be okay? Shen Jiang could see the magic power emanating from Godwin. The originally brilliant golden color became increasingly thinner. He tried his best to endure it, but his body still couldn't stop shaking after being struck by lightning. Even his steps began to become weak. When the lightning struck him again, his body tilted and he almost fell to the side.
But the thunder showed no sign of stopping; it was striking with unrestrained force, each time more powerful than the last. It wouldn't be long before Godwin's body would reach its breaking point.
Will the dragon die?
The answer is self-evident. Although they have powerful magical powers and their lifespans are much longer than humans, they are not gods after all and are still creatures on earth.
Shen Jiang yelled at him, "Stop it! When you die, it will still strike me down, and I'll still die in the end!"
Shen Jiang had never felt so desperate. No matter what she said, Godwin stubbornly stood in front of her. Despite his shambling figure, he still had the arrogant attitude of "No one can kill you in front of me."
Shen Jiang remembered the magic crystals she had on her. She poured them all onto the ground and began to absorb magic power frantically. At the same time, she drew a magic circle of light with both hands, trying to repair Godwin's body, which was leaking like a sieve.
Often, just as she repaired a small piece, the lightning would strike and cause Godwin's body to disintegrate a little more. Like a snail climbing a well, it takes only a small step before sliding down a long way.
Such useless efforts were like a drop in the bucket, but Shen Jiang seemed to be trying to force herself, casting healing magic at Godwin at the fastest speed. She couldn't do nothing, otherwise she would go crazy.
However, even with a large number of magic crystals, Shen Jiang's physical strength was rapidly depleted by such uncontrolled use of light magic. If she hadn't relied on her last breath, Shen Jiang would have passed out from overexertion. She was a little anxious. After all, the magic crystals she had were limited. How long could they last?
I don't know how long the chopping lasted, but the unbearable time that seemed like an eternity for the two of them finally came to an end.
The tremendous roar caused Shen Jiang to hallucinate. She hadn't noticed the thunder had died down, and she continued to work tirelessly—absorbing the magic crystals and drawing the magic circle of light. Suddenly, Shen Jiang heard a sigh, with a faint sense of resentment and resentment.
The sky cleared up after the rain.
She looked at the sudden ray of sunlight in disbelief, and only then realized that her eyes were already red and swollen, and the light almost made her unable to open her eyes.
Surprisingly, it really worked.
"Godwin, we're okay! Are you okay?"
The man who was a few steps away from Shen Jiang did not move for a long time, neither speaking nor turning around.
"Godwin, how are you?! Can you hear me?"
Godwin's body, which had been struggling to hold on, had already reached the critical point. At this moment, his body shook and he finally couldn't hold on, and he bent his knees and half-knelt on the ground.
The sound of the knees hitting the ground was so heavy.
The ecstatic mood suddenly disappeared, and uneasiness surged in his heart. Shen Jiang's worried eyes fell on the motionless broad back.
She wanted to go forward and hug the man who blocked the lightning with his body at the critical moment of life and death, but the metal cage that Godwin specially built to protect her was indestructible. With Shen Jiang's strength, she could not shake it at all.
Shen Jiang pulled out her earliest hoe and hammer from her storage ring and smashed them against the fist-thick metal ring. The hoe quickly curled, the hammer buckled, and even her knuckles cracked from the excessive force. Shen Jiang bit her lip and dug deep to find her handy tools, determined not to give up until she had opened them.
However, the storage ring contained only herbs and some miscellaneous items, and there were no other tools for her to break into the cage.
Shen Jiang did not give up, but chanted a wood magic spell, trying to let the wildly growing vines expand the gap in the metal cage. If it was a little wider, she could squeeze out sideways.
With only a few magic crystals left, Shen Jiang mobilized the last bit of magical energy in his body, working hard to grow them bit by bit in the gaps between the metal. A miracle happened, and the originally unshakable metal cage actually opened up more space.
Shen Jiang struggled to get up from the ground, squeezed out of the cage and rushed to Godwin.
Godwin's appearance at this moment made Shen Jiang's heart shrink. He closed his eyes tightly, and all the exposed skin on his face, neck, and chest was charred. Shen Jiang didn't dare to touch him for fear of hurting him.
Shen Jiang traced the light magic circle again with trembling fingers, but the last magic crystal had already been used up, and even her body could not draw out a trace of magic energy.
A wave of dizziness hit Shen Jiang, and her overdrawn strength made her shaky. Despair flashed through her heart. If she collapsed now, Godwin would really be unable to save her.
Godwin opened his eyes and saw the believer, her face stained with sweat and tears. The scene of his first meeting with her flashed through his mind. Her frightened eyes and innocent expression overlapped with her face on the verge of collapse. His lips moved as he weakly uttered a few words: "Don't cry."
Shen Jiang was cheered up when she saw him open his eyes: "Hold on a little longer, I'll take you home, everything will be fine once we get home."
"Can you give me a kiss?" Godwin's eyes had never been so gentle as at this moment.
It was like a prayer, but also a kind of comfort.
Shen Jiang did not hesitate. She stepped forward, got close to him, and gently left a mark on his lips. Then, she pressed her lips against his, and gave an overbearing command:
"I won't let you die, do you hear me?"
Godwin knew that he didn't look any better now, but when the believer really approached him and kissed him, he suddenly opened his eyes wide. Before the believer closed her eyes, he saw his current appearance in her wet eyes.
It's really, the most embarrassing thing ever.
Godwin laughed at himself.
The warm and soft touch still lingered on his lips. Godwin smiled silently as he watched the believer trying hard to carry him but unable to move at all.
Believers can live well in this world alone.
From today on, this world will no longer be her confinement, and she will truly be free.
Shen Jiang felt a sudden lightness on her back, causing her to stagger. Realizing something was wrong, she turned around to look, but the man behind her had disappeared without a trace. Except for the slightly deformed metal cage, she was the only one left in this old stone pavilion covered in greenery.
It was as if Godwin had never appeared. The small park was now unusually empty. Shen Jiang looked at the metal cage. If the cage had not been there, she would really think that everything that had just happened was a dream.
She had to find him.
Shen Jiang got up from the ground and looked around. She hoped that Godwin was just joking with her, but after searching the park inside and out and rushing back home to look for the familiar figure, Godwin was nowhere to be found.
Where on earth did he go?
This was the only thought in the mind of the exhausted Shen Jiang before he fell into coma.
Shen Jiang was in a coma for two days.
On the third day, she woke up in her bed in her room and realized that the golden gate to another world had disappeared along with Godwin's mysterious disappearance.
Despite losing the opportunity to travel to otherworldly realms, the medicinal fields of my cousin and his companions in the countryside have begun to flourish, allowing Mingxintang to manage its supply of medicinal herbs without falling into disarray. However, Kunyuan Medicinal Herbs Factory, overwhelmed by a surge in orders, is faced with a dilemma. Boss Chen is so anxious that he's developing mouth sores. He used to worry about orders, but now he's worried about the partners who constantly pressure him to deliver. Boss Chen values his word and doesn't want to let anyone down, but medicinal herbs don't grow overnight, so he can only refuse the constant influx of new orders.
Boss Chen urged Shen Jiang to go out and find new sources of medicine every few days. Shen Jiang smiled and gave him a new idea.
"You go find the land and manpower suitable for growing medicinal herbs, and I'll leave the rest."
Of course, Boss Chen believed in Shen Jiang. After all, the medicine was grown by her relative, Chen Songxue's father, and it was not difficult to make it in the same way.
He slapped his head and said, "Why didn't I think of that?"
As long as the cultivation of medicinal materials is carried out on a large scale, the supply of medicinal materials will not be a problem in the future. Isn’t the problem solved?
The Mingxin Canteen next door saw a sharp drop in customers due to an unknown virus, so they took advantage of this period to buy two shops next door and renovate them.
Shen Jiang had recently become obsessed with growing vegetables, planting a variety of fruits and vegetables in three interconnected small courtyards. Lin Yunqing and Shen Anlian both believed that Shen Jiang had been upset by Godwin's sudden departure, so no matter whether it was hot or cold, she would spend most of her time tending to the lush green vegetables in the fields.
Typical heartbreak syndrome.
Everyone knew it tacitly, and no one mentioned the man who had appeared briefly for a few months in front of Shen Jiang.
They had discussed this privately a few times. Some thought that a workaholic like Dr. Shen wouldn't be caught in a relationship, while others, having seen how crazy Shen Jiang had been that day, thought that this was Dr. Shen's first taste of love, and that this was the first time he'd been hurt. Gradually, everyone forgot about the man and focused instead on whether Dr. Shen was truly moved.
Shen Jiang started growing vegetables because she found that planting them by herself could help improve her wood magic. Caring for and observing the plants from the moment she sowed the seeds made her wood magic improve exceptionally quickly.
As your magic power level increases, your physical fitness will also improve accordingly.
Later, Shen Jiang gradually became fascinated by the feeling of planting. This regular life of working from sunrise to sunset truly soothed the restlessness deep in her soul.
However, she would often go for a walk in the small park near Mingxin Hall in her spare time, and when she had time, she would sit in the stone pavilion with a book in her hands for a whole day.
Her current life is exactly the peaceful and stable life she has always dreamed of, but Shen Jiang often feels empty inside.
