Chapter 46
Only then did I see Yingning trembling in pain.
Blood...it's all blood...
Wen Chaosheng then noticed her curled-up legs.
she...
What happened to her leg?
Wen Chaosheng felt as if the crimson color in front of him had almost enveloped him, and the tearing sensation in his chest made it difficult for him to speak.
"Ah... Ning... can you hear me?"
Only then did the little fox seem to hear a familiar voice and slightly open its eyes, which were already filled with death.
With a choked sob, he used his remaining strength to transform into human form.
The girl trapped in the cage had already been half-consumed by death.
Her injured leg was half-hidden in the blood-red gauze dress, creating a vibrant and colorful scene.
I don't know if it's the color of the dress...
It was still the color of blood.
She lay prostrate in the cell, looking at the person before her, and choked out:
"Warmth... tide rises..."
"A warm tide is rising..."
Wen Chaosheng immediately pressed himself against the cage, his voice trembling as he spoke:
"It's me, Aning, it's me!"
"I'll get you out right away!"
Before Yingning could shake her head, he noticed the yellow papers with talismans drawn on them.
A dozen or so densely packed talismans formed a barrier within the cage, seemingly constantly absorbing her demonic power and preventing her from maintaining her human form.
Wen Chaosheng reached out, intending to tear off the talismans pasted on the cage of beasts.
Then a flash of lightning appeared.
The talismans were all enchanted by Chen Zun. As soon as he touched them, lightning would flash across the talismans, burning his hands!
Wen Chaosheng was struck by lightning, but he forced himself not to pull his hand back.
His brows furrowed in panic, and he immediately reached out again, wanting to try tearing off the talismans a second time!
But the result was just one lightning strike after another.
The pain he swallowed back time and time again.
Before long, his palms were scorched by the lightning and began to smell of burning.
"Ah Sheng..." The girl in the cage looked on with pity.
Wen Chaosheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his once clear face was now filled with helplessness and despair.
"I will definitely save you, Aning, I will definitely save you!"
He seemed to be comforting Yingning, but it was also more like he was comforting himself.
Stubbornly insisting on tearing off the talismans that were trapping Yingning!
But the lightning kept flashing, and his hands were almost numb, yet he kept repeating it over and over...
He continued his struggle...
His breakdown...
"A warm tide is rising..."
The girl trapped in the cage mustered her strength and let out an angry shout.
That's how Wen Chaosheng was pulled back from his abnormal state.
Wen Chaosheng turned his gaze away:
“A-Ning.”
Before anyone knew it, he was already in tears.
"Wen Chaosheng, let it go," the girl said.
Wen Chaosheng, who heard this, remained silent.
His charred hands gripped the iron bars of the cage tightly, his eyes fixed on Ying Ning.
I dared not blink, afraid that a tear would fall.
Yingning propped herself up and lowered her head.
I dare not look at Wen Chaosheng.
Wen Chaosheng's vision went blurry.
"No... never mind..." She was right in front of him, how could he let it go?
But the girl he had longed for countless times spoke cruel words at this moment:
"Wen Chaosheng...I'm about to die."
"Before I die, I can... ask you for one thing."
"Don't talk nonsense, how could you possibly die!" Wen Chaosheng shouted weakly.
However, the blood covering the ground once again filled his vision in a frenzy.
She was badly injured, and the truth before him made his heart feel as if it were being slowly tortured inch by inch.
"Please...kill me."
Wen Chaosheng's eyes were filled with disbelief:
"What are you saying?!"
"Please..."
"Kill me," Ying Ning said in a soft voice, her weak appearance suggesting she was about to faint at any moment.
His hands tightened on the iron bars, and the palms that had been injured by the lightning from the talisman were now covered in large bloodstains on the rough metal surface.
However, Wen Chaosheng seemed oblivious.
"Ah Ning, I will definitely save you."
"Please stop saying things like that."
He tried his best not to look at her injured leg.
The girl trapped in the cage shook her head blankly.
"Wen Chaosheng, can you see my legs?"
Wen Chaosheng, who had just turned his gaze away, felt his heart clench again upon hearing these words.
His face was filled with pain, and he dared not utter a sound.
But Yingning's words pushed her into the abyss once again.
"My leg... was sawed off."
"Chen Zun wants to achieve some of his goals by consuming my body."
"if..."
“If he comes back, I won’t just lose another leg.”
"Compared to being eaten by him."
"Ah Sheng..."
"I'd rather die by your hand."
Yingning got up shakily and slowly climbed to the railing.
"Ah Sheng, I can't escape..."
"You should know."
"I can't escape..."
A single tear finally fell from Wen Chaosheng's eye.
With the tears gone, his vision became much clearer, and he could clearly see the life force of the girl in the cage gradually disappearing as time passed.
Just a few days ago she was jumping around happily beside me...
Today, however, it has become like this.
He was the first person to see her in her transformed form, and her voice, appearance, and smile were deeply etched into his mind.
She was beside him...
And yet, I liked her so much.
But now, the person he loves is begging him...
Kill her?
How is that possible?!
How could he possibly have the intention to kill her, and how could he have done such a thing!
“A-Ning…”
"I can't do it..."
I can't kill you.
Wen Chaosheng lowered his head. How could he possibly end her life himself?
It's still over...
The affection that one has not yet expressed verbally.
But then, a single tear fell from the caged girl's eye, staining her pale face with a rosy hue.
"I just want to die simply."
That's all.
I don't want to be devoured by others, and I don't want to have my life taken by others with premeditated intent.
Perhaps Feng Yingning thought the same thing.
Tears of pain streamed down the face of the man in the black robe, finally falling to the ground.
Disappeared...
And with it, another person's life was also lost.
*
Chen Zun couldn't leave Li Ziqing's presence, so he agreed to let her into the mansion. He planned to take her directly to see the beast's miserable state, hoping to dispel his illusions.
"Since the Sixth Prince doesn't believe me, why don't you come with me to see if that beast is going to die?"
Chen Zun gave an evil smile.
They even started to look forward to seeing that beast, Li Ziqing, right now.
After seeing that scene, will you still be able to maintain this persistence?
Li Ziqing took a step and strode towards the Celestial Master's Mansion.
Suddenly I heard it.
A kingfisher, perched on a tree around the Celestial Master's Mansion, began to cry mournfully.
Heartbreaking grief, like weeping.
Li Ziqing unconsciously stopped in her tracks.
Chen Zun clearly told him to go visit A Ning.
However, it felt as if this mournful cry had gnawed a bite out of my heart.
The spot where a piece of the heart was missing suddenly started to hurt.
A panic that seemed to surge from nowhere.
